“Adidi-gya” is the Bane of Ghana’s Underdevelopment – Chairman of Christian Council

The Chairman of the Christian Council of Ghana and the Moderator of the General Assembly of Presbyterian Church of Ghana, The Rt. Rev. Prof. Joseph Obiri Yeboah Mante has observed that Ghana’s problem of Underdevelopment is due to systemic greed popularly known in the local Twi language as “Adidi-gya” or “adige-monge” in the Frafra language, that has dangerously creeped into the social fiber of the country. Apexnewsgh.com report He stated that political greed has become so prevalent and seemingly socially acceptable that society sees nothing wrong when politicians amass wealth overnight. Prof. Joseph Obiri Yeboah Mante said, even though Ghana is 70 percent Christians, the increasing number of corruption and cases of stealing public resources leaves one to wonder whether people still value Christian morals. The theology Professor also chastised pastors who take a lot from their congregants and give them nothing in return. He maintained that due to greed and the desire to get rich quickly, some pastors have turned away from preaching salvation and repentance to prosperity and wealth. He, therefore, admonished Christians to make Christ their example and desist from acts of greed and corruption. He made this known when he delivered a sermon at the Penial Congregation of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana in the Bolgatanga District of the Upper Presbytery as part of his eight days pastoral visit to the Presbytery and to dedicate a new chapel for the Penial Congregation in Bolgatanga.

Don’t force us to relocate Bawku Presby Hospital and Nurses Training College to Bolgatanga –Presbyterian Moderator

The Moderator of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana the Rt. Rev. Prof Joseph Obiri Yeboah Mante has lamented that the Presbyterian Church of Ghana may be forced to relocate both the Presbyterian Hospital and Nurses and Midwifery Training College in Bawku to Bolgatanga if the current ethnic conflict between the Kusasis and the Mamprusis persist for long. Apexnewsgh.com report The Moderator made pronouncement during a sermon of his eight days pastoral visit to the Upper Presbytery of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana. The Moderator also observed that the conflict was having a heavy toll on the operations of both the Hospital and Nurses and Midwifery Training College. He stated that all the current first-year students of the Nurses and Midwifery Training College have had to be moved to Bolgatanga and housed in a rented place to continue with academic work for their safety. The second and third-year students who were programmed to return to the school on March 15, 2022, have had to also be relocated to Bolgatanga to continue with their studies at a rented place as managers observed the conflict situation in the area. He, therefore, appealed to the people of Bawku to understand that meaningful development cannot be achieved in the midst of conflict and ethnic intolerance. He admonished the people of Bawku to see themselves as God’s children first and one people with a common destiny. It will be recalled that the eruption of ethnic violence in Bawku in the past few weeks has left some people dead and scores of others including personnel of the Ghana Armed Forces sent to ensure peace in the area seriously injured from gunshot wounds.
