The President and Founder for Save The Nation For Future Leaders Kwadwo Atta Apeakorang says he should be sacrificed for his motherland Ghana if the local treatment he has discovered doesn’t cure the corona virus.
According him,the best medicine to combat this conronavirus pandemic is our own local foods and herbs.
Speaking to Odiyifo Yaw Charles,he said the government should consider using our local foods and herbs to cure COVID 19 rather than focusing on orthodox medicines and vaccines.
He has therefore urged the government and the ministry of health to practice herbs to fight conronavirus in the country.
Conronavirus has a cure,so the government should stop deserving Ghanaians and there is no need to lockdown Ghana.
I should be sacrifice if the herbs couldn’t cure a tested positive patients within two weeks.
…………CUE…………

Award winning AMG rapper, Medikal has hinted that his wife Fella Makafui will be dropping an album soon under the piloli records. Medikal hinted that he is in talks with the CEO of Pilolo records and after their first production with Fella they would be a need for an album.
Medikal stated that Ghanaians are so much in love and obsessed with Fella’s new single, hence he thinks it’s right to release an album soon. He made this known in a tweet, he said ” *So apparently “Ghanaians are in love and obsessed with @fella makafui’s new single #Over! Ha! Brace yourself, I just spoke to the CEO of Pilolo records you haven’t seen anything yet! She will be dropping an album soon!”*.
Ghanaians have reacted to Fella’s first single in a hilarious way, but it’s quite obvious that the song may take over the charts looking at how most people are sharing it on social media platforms
Former President John Mahama has urged President Akufo-Addo to cut down the size of his government in order to make adjustment for the economic challenges occasioned by covid-19.
“Our economy has revealed from this Covid stress test that it is still fragile and we need to be prudent in how we manage going forward. We must also be diligent in how we apply the $1 billion facility as the various tranches are released.
“We face significant pressure on our local currency, declining domestic revenues, a slowdown in GDP growth, increase in deficit to GDP of between 8% to 9%, ballooning debt which is projected to hit almost 70% by end year. This scenario requires that we exercise strict prioritization in our borrowing and expenditures and this might be the right time for the President to consider trimming down the bloated size of his government,” Mr Mahama said while donated food Items to some vulnerable households in Ghana.
He also appealed to the government to make judicious use of the money given it by the IMF.
“It is predicted that this pandemic and the disruption of global trade and economic activity will adversely affect the economies of developing countries. Ghana is no exception. The fast track approval by the IMF of the highly concessional Rapid Credit Facility is therefore timely and very welcome. This will help cushion the economy from the dangers of recession”.
Ghana’s covid-19 case count now stands at 636, up by some 70 more cases.
John Mahama has urged government to be diligent in spending the International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) $1 billion loan facility granted to Ghana to aid in its fight against COVID-19.
According to him, the IMF’s facility is timely and will help cushion the country’s economy from the dangers of recession.
The National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer said this during a Facebook live stream to announce his latest donations to some households.
“The fast track approval by the IMF of the highly concessional Rapid Credit Facility is therefore timely and very welcome. This will help cushion the economy from the dangers of recession,”Mahama said.
“Our economy has revealed from this COVID-19 stress test that it is still fragile and we need to be prudent in how we manage going forward. We must also be diligent in how we apply the US$1 billion facility as the various tranches are released.”
The loan is to be drawn from the IMF’s Rapid Credit Facility (RCF), a product of the Bretton Woods institution that provides concessionary financial assistance with limited conditionalities to low-income countries (LICs).
In a statement on Monday, the IMF said the money is aimed at helping address Ghana’s “fiscal and balance of payments needs” following the Coronavirus outbreak.
It added that the IMF would continue to monitor Ghana’s situation closely and was also ready to provide policy advice and further support as needed.
Meanwhile, Ghana’s total Coronavirus case count has sharply risen to 636, as of April 14, 2020.
The country has, however, recorded 17 recoveries and eight deaths so far, the Ghana Health Service announced.
Economist, Dr. Lord Mensah, has said the Bank of Ghana can print money to help government’s fight against the COVID-19 due to the pressure on public finance.
Government is mobilising resources to deal with the effect of the COVID-19 on the economy.
Speaking to Citi FM in relation to this, Dr Mensah who also lectures at the University of Ghana Business School (UGBS) said :“Whatever incentive we are going to provide or subsidiary the government intends to provide will boil down to the Central bank diving into its coffers, if there is not enough or contingencies that the country has.
I mean if we don’t have contingency, then in house, there is nothing wrong if we print money to satisfy the immediate needs of the country,” he suggested.
He addded : “The reason why I am saying this is that Ghana was already struggling, liquidity wise. We were having serious problems with liquidity and you could see all the measures that we were putting in place, before the COVID 19 was to ensure that the banks are liquid and we never got there before COVID-19 came in.
“So, if you ask me that the Central Bank can print money for that purpose, it depends on the production capacity of the economy as well,” he added.
According to him, the truest sign of the end-time is when the gospel of Christ has been preached to every nook and cranny of the globe.
Delivering the closing sermon of the Church of Pentecost’s global Easter celebration on Pentecost Television, Apostle Nyamekye indicated that people who call themselves Christians must take up this task and spread the Word of God till the whole world becomes aware of Jesus Christ
“COVID-19 is not the truest sign of the end-time. The truest sign is that the gospel must be preached. And God is looking for certain kind of men, certain kind of women, who will not love their lives even on to death. Who will possess their spheres for the Lord
“Live a victorious life. People who understand the meaning of Jesus Christ for their lives, people who although everything is theirs, for their sake of humanity, they leave everything behind and carry the cross. Men and women whose overriding passion is Jesus Christ. It is not enough to celebrate Christmas and Easter. It’s so we can live a victorious life,” he said.
Lawyer Maurice Ampaw has stated that curse will be on anyone who fails to vote for Akuf-Addo in the coming election.
The disgruntled Lawyer explained that Akufo- Addo is the only President who has asked citizens to enjoy free light and water.
He added that after COVID-19, Ghanaians shouldn’t complain about the economy”because they[Ghanaians] are enjoying electricity and water for free bemoaning the money is from government
Speaking on Wontumi Radio/Tv with Oheneba Nana Asiedu he said, Akufo-Addo is committed to serving the country but not his parochial interest.
“Akufo-Addo is about becoming a magician. How can you let electricity and water to be free?” he quizzed
He ended that Akufo-Addo is very worried about the coronavirus urging Ghanaians to support government in the combat of the pandemic.
A young man named Frank Basowa, who claims to be a journalist and works at Onua Fm has been arrested at Buduburam for allegedly extorting monies from shop owners claiming they’ve defied the lockdown order when Buduburam is not part of areas under lockdown.
According to the police, Frank and his team went round from shop to shop taking Ghc100 from shop owners claiming that he had been sent by Military officers at Kasoa who are enforcing the lockdown.
He reportedly ordered the shop owners to close down their shops or pay Ghc100 to him else he will allow the military officers to come and close down their shops.
Police investigations revealed that Frank is not a worker at Onua FM but using a fake ID card.
In an interview with Yaw Boagyan, some of the victims said Frank told them that he is taking the money to the military officers, but it was found out that he had not been sent by any military officer.
He will be arraigned before court Tuesday, according to Police.
Speaking at a press conference on Tuesday, the Director-General of the Ghana Health Service, Dr. Patrick Aboagye, said the recovered patients tested negative twice before being released.
He also said 66 others have tested negative and are awaiting their second test to determine their recovery status.
He revealed that currently, only two people of the 566 people infected with the disease are in critical condition.
Meanwhile, the Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has approved the disbursement of US$1 billion to be drawn under the Rapid Credit Facility to help Ghana’s COVID-19 fight.
According to the IMF, the COVID-19 pandemic is already impacting Ghana severely. Growth is slowing down, financial conditions have tightened, and the exchange rate is under pressure.
