Make use of religion to fight corruption-First Sky Group boss told Ghanaians

Mr. Eric Seddy Kutortse, Chairman of First Sky Group of Companies 

The Chairman of First Sky Group, a Ghanaian owned company engaged in construction, commodities and hospitality, Eric Seddy Kutortse has charged all Ghanaians in the country to make use of the word of God and religion as a tool fight corruption.
According to him, the fight against corruption appears to be an arduous task, “since our laws and institutions are not helping us therefore the only way out is to seek the face of God”.
“My suggestion is that if it goes beyond human wisdom, understanding and whichever level we cannot control, then we have to seek the face of God” he advised.
The First Sky Group boss made the suggestion at the thanksgiving service to mark the company’s 15th Anniversary held at the Accra International Conference Centre on Sunday, January 14, 2018.
Corruption is a deadly canker in Ghana which has permeated every facet of the economy making it difficult for the country to meet its developmental goals since it’s a drain on the public purse as well as individual citizens.
But explaining in an interview with GhanaNewsOne.com why the menace should not be a threat to Ghanaians, Mr. Eric Seddy Kutortse wondered why out of about 27 million population of which the majority of 72.1 percent representing Christians should not be termed a corrupt nation if Ghanaians are truly committed to obeying the scriptures of God in the Holy Bible.
“Our population stands at 27 million with Christians alone made up of 71.2 percent and so if we have the fear of God in us and we abide by his words in the Holy Bible and the 71.2 percent says they’ll not involve themselves in corruption, then corruption is already eliminated by 71.2 percent”.
He further said, “both the Islamic religion, the holy bible teaches against stealing and if our Moslem brothers and sisters also abide by such scriptures, and if they also respect the teachings of the Holy Quran and follow its orders strictly, corruption is likely to be eliminated because these two religions constituted about 96 percent of the entire population”.

Photo of a man with amazingly ‘super head’ causes a stir on social media

Image
Many eyes have seen it but are yet to believe. To those who are convinced that God's creature exits on earth with such a weird shape of head have been left totally flabbergasted and worried too.That is human nature; doubting Thomases everywhere. A man whose photo has been making rounds on social media platforms has been the one in the centre of a huge controversy that rendered onlookers astounded and divided. The photograph in question has really created a scene that is of comic relief and over-sensational. The problem per se is not about his facial appearance but borders specifically on the 'caricature' shape of his head coupled with his jaw-jutting chin which has become the point of attraction at all cost.  It appears no amount of words could best describe the shape of his 'Hill-Valley-Hill Head' which looks very sparkling without hairs on it.  But some social media users who caught sight of the photograph have been reacting with varying

  People and the diseases they carry can be easily transmitted to any location in a matter of hours since we live in a linked, globalized society. Infectious illness epidemics are becoming more common, particularly in developing nations, where they have severe effects on people's health, social conditions, and economies. An epidemic is the rapid spread of disease to a large number of hosts in a given population within a short period of time. Being no respecter of person, an epidemic disease can affect both young and old of the society. The world since its creation has encountered several kinds of epidemics which have claimed many lives and caused great devastations to nations of the world. In the last century for instance, the world has been hit by six (6) different kinds of epidemics with devastating results on its economy, people’s health and social conditions. Between 1918-1922, Russia was unfortunate to have been hit hard by Typhus, (a fever caused by bacteria that are spread t

  In a bid to help end the kidnappings as well as the burgeoning human rights and social issues in Ghana and beyond, the Human Rights Reporters Ghana (HRRG) in 2019 embarked on a ‘Nationwide Sensitization Campaign on Kidnapping, Teenage, Pregnancy and Tramadol/Drug Abuse’ (KTT). The campaign, popularly known as the ‘KTT Project’, focused on addressing issues of kidnapping, teenage pregnancy and drug abuse but equally set about creating a deeper education on human rights to bring about a cultural change. The ‘messiah initiative’ which saw a dedicated team of young volunteers in communities, schools and religious settings within three regions of the country managed to reach over 60,000 Ghanaians over two years sensitizing them on the most pressing and critical and social issues Ghana is facing.   HRRG team of volunteers The HRRG is a non-governmental organization (NGO) which brings together journalists, news editors, human rights activists, advocates, defenders and lawyers to advan
