The social media street on Wednesday, October 18, 2023, is full of interactive as well as confrontational issues that will make you wonder why they are making the trends.
GhanaWeb is here to serve you all the news, juice, and gist.

Before the end of Tuesday, October 17, news broke that two prominent clergymen in the country who are also members of the board of trustees for the National Cathedral had stepped down from their roles.

The men of God, Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams and Reverend Eastwood Anaba, wrote to the National Cathedral Secretariat about their decision to wash their hands from the dealings of the cathedral, which is still under construction.

In a joint statement to the president, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, the esteemed clergymen, cited their growing concerns about transparency and accountability within the project.

“Despite our prayers, best hopes, and best wishes, unfortunately, a needed audit to help restore public confidence and trust in this consequential project has not been enacted to the best of our knowledge. Since January 2023, we have awaited news, to no avail, regarding the findings of the audit. We, therefore, regret that, as a matter of conscience and faith, we hereby submit to you our resignation from the Board of Trustees of the National Cathedral,” the statement said.

This has pushed the National Cathedral and Duncan-Williams to the trends board on the X app.

Another topic generating a lot of heat and buzz on the microblogging platform X is the country’s national team, the Black Stars.

The Black Stars conceded four goals to none after a friendly match between them and the USA national team this morning.

A lot of disappointed Black Stars supporters are expressing their displeasure and dissatisfaction about how the game went.

Below are some tweets on Black Stars, National Cathedral and Duncan-Williams:

May I take a moment off my gruelling VRA disaster response to offer high commendation to Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams and Reverend Eastwood Anaba for resigning from the National Cathedral Board of Trustees on the basis of “conscience and faith.”

With common sense, a layman like me knew National Cathedral is a stealing venture.
Your men of God with the "spirit of discernment" sat on that Board, chop all the money and after public backlash, they've resigned on the basis of "conscience and faith"????????????????????????

When you set God up as an excuse for a money laundering scheme under the guise of building a National Cathedral , Pastors will resign and expose you.
From day one, it was obvious the whole cathedral thing was a shady enterprise to loot the state. #OccupyJulorbiHouse pic.twitter.com/CoQ4Q9gqf7

Luke 14 v 28-29
Is there anyone planning to build a new house (NATIONAL CATHEDRAL) who doesn’t first down to figure the cost so you know if u can complete it.
If you only get the foundation laid and then run out of money, you are going to look pretty FOOLISH!
