Throw the bill in the bin and set fire to it. It's abominable. Christian and Islamic values are not traditional Ghanaian values. Our traditional Ghanaian values are not against homosexuality that's why we don't have any oral history against it but plenty oral histories of our forebears tolerating it.

Agoooo... Fellow Ghanaians!! Now you can all see and attest to the vile nature and character of that SASABONSAM ANIMAL called Nana Akuffo Addo..!!!!!!! This was the highly notorious vagabond who started his wayward and immoral life as a KYEBI KOBOLOR right from his boyhood days until now! He started killing and womanizing very early on in his kobolor life. He calmly and quietly killed his first wife called @Obaa Yaa in a fit of rage! He carried his rascally, despicable and ruffian life to Legon, where he picked up a toxic and bizarre relationship with one Viginia Hesse up until the time that the lady fell pregnant and had to take time off her schooling. As for the Kyebi chimpanzee, you all know how he failed his exams potooorrrr...!!!!!! And as the records show, that toothless octogenarian got a miserable 3rd class certificate, at a time when his own mates and friends such as the late Amoako Tuffuor, Professor John Atta-Mills, Kwame Pianim, JH Mensah, and the many others were blowing FIRST CLASS with ease! Now, because he had failed in life, this forest deity called Akuffo Addo hatched some wicked plot to enter politics and assume some lofty position through calculated deception. So, his plan was to criminally and sinfully use the name of God to deceive the masses into thinking that he was some venerable Christian. He swiftly and cunningly coined the mantra "The Battle Is The Lord's" and started pushing his followers to sing this very mantra around. Then he deepened that deception by making a public declaration that he's going to build a cathedral for God, hatching the plot to use the cathedral as a conduit to siphon state resources away from that project. Today, that brainless and mentally-disabled lunatic called Akuffo Addo is the one fighting God over his prohibition regarding homosexuality. But, patient as He had always been, God had this belief that the sad outcome that befell Lawyer Akoto Ampaw will cause Akuffo Addo to reform. Sadly, as an everlasting fool, this idiot has not even bothered to take notice of anything. So, God, in His next move will be angrily sweeping away Akuffo Addo and all his satanic cohorts who are using procedural gymnastics to make a mockery of God. So, for now, God is loudly laughing at them high up in the heavens. The minute will soon arrive when He will violently exterminate that NASTY DEMON called Akuffo Addo!

You will only face the punishment from fine to jsil term, if you are caught promoting the filthy acts in
our schools and
institutions.

Whenever you are slapped with a criminal record,you are basically rendered worthless, difficult in finding jobs,travelling etc etc.

So going to jail shouldn't be funny at all.

Look at what people we called leaders are doing, Because we always beg for money, this has become a criteria for our financial slavery. The world must dictate for us as a sovering state? Then where is our dignity as Ghanaians and Africans for that matter. Is a shame to us. Mr president, forget about what you're talking about and what your blind advisers are saying, and pend your signature to erase all the thinking in people's minds. The Arabs creates their own money and spend, we not exceptional. Let's learn from them.

There are no legal requirements binding countries to accept LGBTQi+ before they can do businesses with the IMF. In fact, no such thing has been on IMF's negotiation table. LGBTQi+ is not part of the aims and objectives of IMF, on any country required to assess their loan facilities. Nigeria, Morocco and other countries in Africa and other parts of the world after passing their anti LGBTQi+ bill have never been denied assessing the IMF loan facilities.This is just a plot by some Ghanaian officials to intentionally use IMF to blackmail Ghanaians to just create some fear and panic. Most of these people which includes the president, Gabby Okyere Darko, Ofori Atta and other members of this government have stashed unexplained and stolen monies into various accounts outside Ghana and if they don't help the West to succeed on this agenda, those monies shall be frozen and returned to the state. That is one of the major reasons behind why this NPP government is condoning to the dictates of the West. Parts of those monies are for their campaign.
