WTF: Duncan Williams Says Women Should Be Grateful When Men Propose to Them Because We Are NOTHING

Is there a body that regulates churches in Ghana? Make that Africa. Is there a body that regulates churches in Africa? Because the rot is deep!

It’s only in Africa you find out that the black man knows more about God and the bible than the Europeans who brought it to us. Sometimes I look upon the state of religion in Africa and I cannot help but congratulate the white man. He knew exactly how to keep us in chains no matter how much independence we have.

I once wrote an article here in lamentation of our worship of pastors. Yuups, we do not worship God anymore in Africa. We worship pastors because we are so devoted to pastors that we cannot question them. If you do, you go straight to the brainwashed firing squad of millions of people. Pastors can stand up in church with the nerve to do anything because you know what? They themselves know they are untouchable.

So often you will find the ‘sheeple’ gather and obediently listen to, defend and obey the ‘man of God’

Which of you ever watched the recorded South African pastors who made their congregation drink petrol because they claimed the pastor had turned it into apple juice? (Jesus mpo nfanihu). Sagaa!

Anyway, to the hot topic of today that has set me out on this rant, Duncan Williams said, women must realise that when a man proposes to them, it is a privilege. Because no matter how beautiful or intelligent you are, you will ‘’Rot’’ with it.

Where are my beautiful, intelligent women? Are you listening? You are nothing until a man does you this huge marriage favour.

There is a Big Problem With Setting Priorities In Ghana

10/18/2014 7:00 pm

by GC Staff Tisha

At this point talking about the state our beloved country has been plunged into seems hardly worth the effort anymore. You should know how bad things have become when ‘things are hard in Ghana’ has assumed the mantle of a cliché, but every time you think we cannot hit another low this government of ours surprises us in a whole new way.

Through all the hardship, incompetence and corruption one thing I have noticed is that there is a big problem with misplaced priorities in this country. It manifests in so many ways, but every time there is a problem facing us, you can be sure we would be looking at the option least likely to bring a lasting solution.

I wish I could say it is limited to those in authority, but sadly it isn’t. We see it in the ordinary Ghanaian as well, in our haste to apply spiritual connotations to every little setback, in our stubborn reliance on divine intervention, in our love of shortcuts that in the end cause five problems way bigger than the initial one.

The worst manifestation of this problem, which led me to pen this piece, is when we have problems staring us right in the face but then ignore them and attempt bigger plans which frankly are folly if the initial problem is not solved yet.

Exhibit A: John Dramani Mahama during his recent visit to the US, somehow found the platform to tell the world Ghana plans to export electricity to Nigeria and other countries within the sub-region.

I don’t know whether it is a problem of delusion or obliviousness, but the notion that Ghana has the capacity to handle its electricity needs and those of any other countries in addition is extremely laughable.

Chris Brown’s Two Cents on The Ebola Issue: Agrees with Those Who thinks It’s Population Control

10/13/2014 10:49 am

by GC Staff Tisha

Chris Breezy has stirred up some sh*t this morning, revealing his thoughts on the Ebola epidemic sweeping across West Africa; and a lot of people are not going to be happy with the popular RnB star.

The Loyal hitmaker hit twitter this morning to give his take on the issue, and somewhat surprisingly, he is in the camp of those who believe the epidemic might be a form of population control.

A certain hypotheses is going round that this all epidemic might be an intentional gimmick by the powers that be, releasing the virus in certain African countries to check their unstoppable population growth. The theory has more supporters than you might think.

Nick Cannon Talks About How He is Doing After Mariah Carey Split, Removing Her Tattoo from His Back & More

To think that some years back Nick Cannon stepped into the musical boxing ring to fight Eminem because of Mariah Carey even though he knew Shady was the definition of rap—and now, it is all over for him makes it sad.

But Nick says all is well with him—and he is taking each day at a time so we should not be worried. We guess Eminem will be laughing out loud, despite having murdered Cannon in the diss ring.

Speaking to Extra today at the Los Angeles during the premiere of ‘Addicted’, Nick had some few things to say, including on the recent drama surrounding Mariah Carey’s vocal flop.

BrutallyUncensored.Com: Being with One Partner is NOT Innate | Cheating is Therefore Natural

09/27/2014 6:23 pm

by GC Staff Tisha

My current relationship lasting a bit over three years is the longest one I’ve been in by far. My first and supposedly true love who assured me of her eternal love for me with corny recycled text messages that at the time made me incredibly smite and go red in my black cheeks didn’t last six months.

And we were barely eighteen. A couple more reality inducing, jarring, brief flings disguised as relationships, and then i met KAF who’s getting married next month to a man who’s not me. My current relationship overlaps that with KAF slightly.

The current relationship may or may not have ended last night. Or more likely three months ago when I bedded an incredibly attractive close friend and admitted to it. With this background I may appear not too credible a contributor to the topic Monogamy. However, my experiences I believe put me in a good stead to speak on this contentious issue. Is `Mongamy feasible? Is it natural? Is there one person destined to be coupled with you forever?

No. Well according to common sense and logic. Marrying for love as we know it now only began in the 18th century. Prior to that marriage was primarily to form business ties, secure already existing family worth, expand family networks or even pay family debts, writes Rainier-Mackie Plahar on BrutallyUncensored.Com.

Indeed back then a man was better respected and admired if he had multiple women. Montaigne the renowned essayist said in the 16th “any man in love with his wife was a man so dull no one else could love him”. This best reflects the values and standards of the time.

Monogamy is a social construct that aims at organizing our sex lives and furthermore provide a stable environment for the raising of children, but also (and this is often overlooked), that by pairing up couple for life, it does a good job in alleviating the jealousy and mayhem which would ensue from a sexual free-for-all.

Countless examples in our everyday lives alone is enough proof that jealousy and mayhem is rife in monogamous relationships. This is because it takes a superhuman level of discipline and commitment for monogamy to work to achieve the aims for which it was constructed.

Accra Metropolitan Assembly’s Exercise Showing Defective Reactionary Nature of Ghanaian Public Officials

09/27/2014 5:25 pm

by GC Staff Tisha

The Accra Metropolitan Assembly has been on the warpath in recent times, forced to make a grandstand due to the cholera outbreak that has swept through the capital and most parts of the country.

One of the recent initiatives meant to battle the outbreak is a surprise inspection of food vendors within the metropolis, an initiative that has so far yielded some disgusting results; proving that we are not as safe as we would like to feel within our own capital.

What bugs me is that this is a problem we are all too familiar with. We go through our lives doing the minimum possible we can get away with, waiting for the inevitable outbreak of a disaster to force us to do what we should have been doing all along.

That is what the AMA has been doing with this recent clampdown on food vendors. The surprise inspection has spanned chop bars, restaurants, and is meant to tackle wayside vendors as well.

Aside the fact that these routine checks should be the status quo and not a panic measure when an epidemic sweeps over the country, the results gleaned so far should put the fear of God in any Ghanaian who patronises any food establishment outside their own homes.

You might say it’s not any surprise, Accra after all is engulfed in filth wherever you look, and people sell adjacent to gutters without any scruples. But whilst you would expect this kind of tactics from small time food vendors and the chop bars, the fact that restaurants, some of whom have huge reputations have fallen foul of the standards is a frightening thought.

At What Point Does Faith Become Folly? | South African Congregation Drink Petrol Because Pastor Claims to Have Turned it Into Pineapple Juice

I often marvel at the tenacity of Ghanaians when it comes to matters of faith, and for the absurd levels we are willing to take our belief in a supreme being. We place too much trust in our men of God, we interpret everything through the lens of religion and superstition, and we are willing to do anything so long as we are sure it enhances our chances of one day ending up in heaven.

It’s a problematic mindset that as much as we hate to admit, remains at the root of most of our ills as a society. We often place too much trust in faith to the detriment of hard work and innovation, whilst we spend fortunes keeping pastors rich whilst we remain in our lives of dilapidation.

South African pastor Lesego Daniel, of the Rabioni Centre Ministries, made his congregation drink petrol because he claimed to have changed it to pineapple juice. It was an exercise modelled on when Jesus turned water into wine (See the video above).

Blind faith as demonstrated by this South African congregation is very worrying. When people slip into mindsets like this, they can be asked to do anything and they would so long as they believe it is in the name of their religion.

I am sure we can all see what problems such a mentality would breed. Blind obedience to a person or deity breeds fanaticism, and fanaticism breeds far worse problems we should all be familiar with.

It seems the general public is now tired of Kimye and their antics.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West were greeted with boos for arriving late at the Lanvin show in Paris. The crowd started booing the supercouple as they walked to the front row of the show.

Kanye however got defensive and confronted the crows for heckling them. He told the crowd it Alber Elbaz’s fault they were late because she asked to see them at the backstage.

“Alber asked to see us. Don’t boo us. We’re not late.” said Kanye.

The Chinese Have Brought their THING to Ghana | Dynasty Chinese Restaurant Closed Down as AMA Cracks Down on Filth

09/26/2014 1:34 pm

by GC Staff Tisha

In its latest fight against cholera in the city, the Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) yesterday closed down Dynasty Chinese restaurant in Osu after an inspection team stormed several restaurants in the area to inspect.

For some time now, the AMA has been inspecting the hygienic practices of restaurants, chop bars and other eating businesses. A move I highly applaud. People pay so much for food from these restaurants only to end up with all sorts of food poisoning.

The Public Health Directorate of the AMA headed by Doctor Sampson Anim Boateng closed down Dynasty Chinese Restaurant because it had the most unhygienic kitchen in which it prepares food for customers. Algae infested surroundings, a defective gas cylinder which was supported by a stone, grease and soot accumulated surfaces and heat extractors, rusted and filthy stoves and algae infested areas at the entrance to the kitchen.

Other restaurants like Noble House and Frankies were warned of slight uncleanliness which they promised to clean up but the filth encountered at Dynasty was too much for the AMA to overlook leading to the closure.

Families who Lost Relatives in T.B Joshua’s Church Collapse Planning a to Sue Him

09/26/2014 11:14 am

by GC Staff Tisha

Well it seems the families who lost relatives in the T.B Joshua church collapse are not planning to let the matter rest. Two relatives of the deceased have informed the BBC they plan to sue T.B Joshua.

And they are not planning to go it alone, calling on other families to join them in their action against the church due to the circumstances leading to the collapse.

T.B Joshua has been telling anyone who would listen that the incident was caused by a hovering aircraft, and that it was an attempt on his life. I believe anyone who has even a peanut for a brain would recognise the explanation for the nonsense that it is and for T.B Joshua to attempt to take the public for granted as he has done he should expect consequences.

After all people died in the collapse, people with families, and this is what you come to tell them after the incident?

Thanduxolo Doro and Mpho Molebatsi are the two South African nationals planning the suit, and they told the BBC it’s not the collapse, so much as what happened after the collapse that is informing their action.

“It’s not that the building collapsed, rather what was done after the collapse” Mr Doro told the BBC

“We saw reports that emergency workers were denied access initially, access that could have saved lives. The actions of the church after the incident are very telling”

From BeyondGossip.Com

On Tuesday, Amber Rose filed for divorce from her husband Wiz Khalifa. The 30-year-old ex-stripper cited irreconcilable difference as the cause of the marriage breakdown.

Ever since the unexpected divorce news was put out by TMZ, the press gathering their source from the grapevine had accused both Wiz and Amber of infidelity.

However, Amber Rose has denied cheating on rapper husband Wiz Khalifa. The model took to twitter to quash rumours that she was unfaithful in her 1-year marriage to her husband. “Please stop with the fake stories. I would never ever ever cheat on my husband in a million years I think u guys know this…..,” Rose tweeted.

She also used the medium to call out her soon to be ex-husband, Wiz Khalifa for cheating. ” Unfortunately my now ex husband can’t say the same….,” she slammed her ex boo.

Woman Hanged in The Northern Region on Suspicion of Being A Witch | Who Even Said Witches Exist?

09/25/2014 7:27 pm

by GC Staff Tisha

As much as we would like to push our nation into the 21st century, certain superstitions and prejudices are just too sunk in for us to be rid of anytime soon.

This is why we keep recording these incidents which quite frankly, belong in 12th century Europe and not in any society that dares call itself civilised: as we are oft too quick to point out but never prove via our actions.

A 55 year old woman in the Northern region, Duukwaak Laar, has found herself on the wrong side of these outdated superstitious prejudices, losing her life after being hanged on suspicion of being a witch.

Making the act more dastardly is that of the two suspects in the case, one is her stepson, 44 year old farmer Naanpaak Laar; the other being one Maten Jabong.

Daily Guide reports that Jabong, a 24 year old student, is believed to have disclosed to Naanpaak that he often had dreams about the victims. In these dreams, Jabong revealed, the victim was chasing him around and threatening to kill him.

After a little chit chat between the two, they reached their most logical conclusion; that Duukwaak must be a witch.

Looking at Ghanaian culture and tradition, you would understand how they would reach that conclusion. What does that tell us about Ghanaian culture and tradition then?
