When the Spanish Embassy in Ghana decides to ‘misbehave’
The Spanish Embassy in Ghana seems to be ‘manufacturing’ a deadly ‘virus-culture’ in its ‘laboratory’ within the Embassy.
Reportedly, it began ‘test-experimentation’ of the ‘manufacture’ of the ‘virus-culture’ for eventual ‘propagation’, many months ago.
Strangely but luckily, however, the ‘gas-laden’ ‘virus-culture’ seems to be ‘leaking’ only within the Spanish Embassy.
Analysts predict with certainty that if the ‘gas-laden’ ‘virus-culture’ ‘escapes’ from the Embassy to announce its presence in the adjoining Ghanaian community, there will, surely, be ‘conflagration’.
“And the ‘conflagration’ will consume the entire Spanish Embassy building,” the analysts added.
The analysts are, therefore, urging the Spanish Embassy to quickly abandon the ‘test-experimentation’ of the ‘gas-laden’ ‘virus-culture’; warning that “if it escapes into the Ghanaian community, the monumental explosion it will cause, will be extremely difficult to comprehend .”
The analysts remind the Spanish Embassy:”The Vienna Convention is very much alive but look at how the buildings of the Bulgarian Embassy and the Nigerian High Commission in Ghana were illegally demolished in broad daylight.
“If you intentionally attempt to toy with Ghanaian traditions, culture and family values, you do so at your own peril.”
Readers, the analysts liken the hyperbolic ‘test-experimentation’ of the ‘gas-laden’ ‘virus-culture’ in the Spanish Embassy to same-sex marriages; being promoted and sponsored by the Embassy and its likely consequences.
Reportedly, the Spanish Embassy is feverishly getting ready to “bless” and “celebrate” same-sex marriages within the Embassy building, citing the Vienna Convention as its ‘Principal Witness’ and ‘Certificate of Authorisation’.
Consequently, the Spanish Embassy has written to Ghana’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration, emphatically stating that it is more than ready to “bless” and “celebrate” same-sex marriages at the Embassy.
Refreshingly, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration has re-stated Ghana’s position to the Embassy on same-sex marriages; in line with our country’s laws, traditions, culture and family values.
Indeed, homosexual conduct is criminalised by Ghana’s criminal laws. Section 104(1) (b) of Ghana’s Criminal Offences Act, 1960 (Act 29) abhors consensual same-sex intercourse and prohibits it.
So, it is very clear that a consensual same-sex relation is a criminal offence within the meaning of Ghana’s Criminal Offences Act.
As a matter of fact, the only mode of sexual intercourse which does not offend Ghanaian law is sexual intercourse through the vagina by penile penetration.
Strangely, Ghana and many other African countries are now witnessing the intrusion of rotten and stinking European and American culture of homosexuality. And homosexuality is gradually becoming a cult; a club and a foundation.
The Member of Parliament for Ningo-Prampram and a very active anti-LGBTQ+ advocate, Mr Sam Nartey George, reminds the Spanish Embassy:”Be minded that you are simply guests”, adding, “I wonder why you are not pushing your perverse agenda in Togo, Burkina Faso and Ivory Coast.”
The European Union in Ghana has openly thrown its weight behind the LGBTQ+ promoters in the country, claiming that equality, tolerance and respect for one another are core values of the European Union.
Strong opposition against the emerging LGBTQ+ community in the country is gaining tap-roots. They include the clergy, traditional rulers and teacher unions. They strongly argue that homosexuality is not a rights issue.
The Executive Secretary of the National Coalition for Proper Human Sexual Rights and Family Values, Mr Moses Foh-Amoaning, says:”Ghana has not signed any international law permitting the promotion of LGBTQ+ activities in the country.”
He stresses:”Any attempt by anyone to promote activities of the LGBTQ+ group in the country, amounts to illegality.”
Mr Foh-Amoaning has chastised the international community in Ghana, “for promoting an act which is alien to the customs and traditions of Ghanaians and which infringes on the sovereignty of our state.”
The President of the Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council, Professor Paul Frimpong Manso also says:”The actions of the LGBTQ+ group are completely at variance with the laws of God as contained in the Holy Bible, concerning God’s plan of creation and the sanctity of marriage between a man and a woman and as ordained by God.”
Reportedly, a huge amount of $200 million is said to have been voted to promote LGBTQ+ activities in Ghana.
According to Mr Foh-Amoaning; “the $200 million funding forms part of a backdoor approach to sponsor LGBTQ+ activities in the country.”
Beneficiaries of the $200 million funding are said to be vocal groups, individuals and institutions in the country.
The belief in proper human sexual rights and Ghanaian family values is ‘notoriously’ overwhelming amongst the entire citizenry.
Mr Nathaniel Mensah, a Senior High School English Language teacher says:”People are ever ready to lay siege around the Spanish Embassy to ‘arrest’ and ‘discipline’ same-sex culprits, if they dare the people of Ghana.”
According to him; “if the Spanish Embassy disobeys our Foreign Ministry, they will have themselves to blame, because nobody can protect the embassy.”
Readers, Mr Mensah’s views seem to tally with that of the analysts and the hyperbolic ‘test-experimentation’ of the ‘gas-laden’ ‘virus-culture’ in the Spanish Embassy.
So, over to you, the Spanish Embassy !!!

Who knows tomorrow?
Recently a friend posted a sad news on his Facebook page, announcing the death of a school mate who had passed away, suddenly. The report had it that he was on his way to the airport to take a flight to Ghana.
I am sure this man had already informed the wife or a friend or a work colleague at work that he was returning home but he was not to return as a human being but as a dead body.
Such is life and so we need to be circumspect in how we go about things in life. The Bible reminds us that we are like grass which at one point in time looks elegant and the next moment becomes withered according to Psalm 90:5 and 6. It is for this reason that we need to guard our hearts with the word of God so that we shall be motivated to do the right thing, at all times.
This will enable us live on this planet, free from all sorts of troubles in our personal lives, even if we ignore the question of Heaven and Hell. Living a disciplined life delivers us from any kind of trouble as the Bible declares in Galatians 5:23 that against such there is no law.
The uncertainty surrounding our lives on earth is the more reason why people should commit their lives into the hands of the one who created it, in the first place unless you believe that the world created itself and that it appeared from nowhere.
Otherwise, the logical thing to do is to recognize the authority of the creator and surrender to his Lordship. Heaven is real and Hell is real, so for us who know the truth and have received Jesus as our Lord and Saviour, the onus lies on us to encourage our relations who have not believed and received Jesus into their lives, to do so.
We are a couple of days from another Easter Resurrection celebration and an opportunity to reflect on our lives in relation to the significance of Easter. In the Bible, the only occasion Jesus, Saviour of the world commands us to celebrate is his death and resurrection.
He never commanded his followers to celebrate his birth but like everything else, we chose to ignore Jesus’s instructions and decided to do what pleases us, just like our forefather and mother in the Garden of Eden.
Let us deliberately choose to do things differently as Christians this Easter, so we can really benefit from all the blessings that the celebration of the death and birth of Jesus, has on offer. Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result is definitely insanity.
I choose to be different this Easter and I am believing God for a newness of life so God’s glory would be revealed in me to draw the unsaved to him. It is only when people especially the unsaved, see the character of Christ in us, that they can be convinced about the authenticity of Jesus, as Saviour of the world, who can bring transformation in their lives too.
This is what would motivate them to surrender their lives to Jesus Christ. Let us make this Easter a memorable one that will be cherished for a long time. It is also a period for reconciliation and it would be great if in the spirit of Easter, we would try to reach out to those who have wronged us or have a grudge against us.
This would demonstrate that we have indeed accepted Jesus and that our religious posture is not a sham. May the good Lord grant us the grace to love our neighbours as ourselves, demonstrating the love of God in the process.
Those who have lost their loved ones and Easter brings sad memories, may the good Lord comfort and strengthen you. God bless.
