    I still stand by my decision – Martha Ankomah on defamation suit against Lil Win

    Actress Martha Ankomah of Ghana has stated that legal proceedings concerning her lawsuit against colleague Kwadwo Nkansah, also referred to as Lilwin, are still pending.

    The actress has stated that she does not intend to rescind the lawsuit because she wants the legal system to work its course.

    “I have not withdrawn the suit, I believe the rule of law works in this country.

    Thus, I do not think you can offend someone and get away with it. We must set a good example for others to follow if we claim to be role models. I therefore filed a lawsuit. I hope you understand that building a brand takes years, as she said in an interview with UTV, based in Accra.

    Miss Ankomah sued Lilwin on February 14, 2024, alleging that he had made derogatory comments about her professionalism and integrity.

    The actress sued in an Accra High Court, requesting an apology, GH¢5 million in damages, and the removal of the extremely offensive words in question.

    Martha has expressed hope that the court will take the appropriate action in this case in the interim.

    “If the court does not teach him a lesson, it will be a very bad example that may encourage the next generation to just say anything about people,” the actress went on.

  • Most American gospel artistes are gay – Sonnie Badu boldly asserts

    Most American gospel artistes are gay – Sonnie Badu boldly asserts

    A significant number of American gospel musicians identify as LGBT+, according to Ghanaian gospel musician and pastor Sonnie Badu.

    Sonnie Badu, the lead pastor of Atlanta’s Rockhill Church, revealed this information in an interview with Accra FM. According to him, more than 78% of American gospel musicians and preachers identify as LGBT+.

    “In America, about 78% of gospel musicians there are gay; most of these popular musicians that we play their songs on our airwaves and in our churches are into LGBT activities. If you get to know them you won’t play their songs again. Even some of the bishops that we follow and listen to are involved in LGBT activities,” he said.

    He said that a fellow gospel musician had once cautioned him against getting involved in such affairs.

    “One of the gospel musicians even warned me to mind my business when I see the things they’re involved in because they know I am conservative,” he said.

    Sonnie Badu also expressed his worries about the impact of the LGBT+ movement, claiming that it is visible in the media, in the classroom, and in the entertainment industry, among other spheres of society.

    He continued by saying that seemingly innocent cartoons can convey subtle messages, which is why he forbade the viewing of such material in his home.

    “This LGBT+ agenda is not just in Ghana, it’s everywhere, it’s in many countries, in their books, schools, cartoons, etc.

    Personally, in my house, my children don’t watch cartoons again. These innocent cartoons are now subtly sending messages to our children. It’s disturbing as a parent,” he said.

    The anti-LGBT+ Bill, which was approved by parliament on February 28, 2024, is still awaiting ratification by the president.

    The Bill intends to criminalise the practice of or advocacy for LGBT+ causes, with potential sentences for prosecutors ranging from three to five years.
