Your wife is a gift

Posted on January 19, 2021 by Kofi Tutu

*Understand her – Men make the common mistake of feeling there’s nothing to this marriage business, there’s nothing “new” to learn…. if you are going to make a woman happy you have to consciously understand her because she is VERY different from you, how she sees things will be different, what she wants will be different, the small things will impress her more than the big things, so learn her (1st Peter 3: 7- says “husbands dwell with them with KNOWLEDGE….”

*Unwrap her – men need to understand women are deep, most men only Unwrap their wives physically as in removing their clothes, but she wants and needs to be unwrapped emotionally and mentally, there are aspects to her she didn’t put forward at the beginning that she wants to find expression now, so she will like you to spend enough time and attention unwrapping her, that’s what’s really called intimacy : INTO – ME -SEE , what new thing about your wife have you discovered lately, remember how you removed her veil on your wedding day… now remove her emotional and mental veil, she still wants to be Pursued and discovered and uncovered

*Unleash her – women are very powerful, in my opinion more powerful than men, however some how they never really fight for themselves or put their own needs first, they instinctively want to sort everyone out first, their hubby, their kids, their parents etc (of course I mean good women), she also has dreams and desires that she put in the back burner because of you or the kids, sit her down from time to time and ask her what her dreams and desires are and then release her to pursue them fully, see to it personally that she becomes all she can be, that she uses all her gifts and abilities, even when she stumbles be positive and boost her confidence, you will enjoy her when she is more her true and full self (Proverbs 31 woman was fully unleashed)

Pls share with a husband you know.

*You need a gift for your spouse this new year then ALL YEAR ROUND package is your best bet, special offer still applies

Supreme Court refuses John Dramani Mahama request for EC to answer 12 questions.

Posted on January 19, 2021 by Kofi Tutu

The Supreme Court noted that the Petitioners had filed an application for leave to serve interrogatories the night before. By their Application, the Petitioners were seeking to have the 1st Respondent answer twelve(12) questions relating to collation and transmission of results, the involvement of NCA in transmission and errors in declaration and when they were detected.

Counsel for Petitioner submitted upon being asked by Amegatcher JSC under what rules the application was being made, that even though there were no express rules in the Supreme Court rules allowing the filing of interrogatories, they were relying on Order 22 of CI 47 and the inherent power of the Court as well as the precedent in the 2012 election petition. He then read a portion of the Judgment by Gbadegbe JSC in support of his submission.

Counsel further submitted that the interrogatories were based on the answers of the 1st Respondent to their Petition.

The Court admonished Counsel for Petitioner to avoid personalising the matter before the court by continuously mentioning the name of the Chairperson of the 2nd Respondent rather than her office.

Counsel for 1st Respondent filed an opposition to the application and in his answer to the application submitted that the answers Petitioner was seeking were already contained in the petition and the answers of the Respondents hence the application was needless. He further submitted that the Petitioners were attempting to smuggle through the back door matters which they had failed to include in their Petition and the court should dismiss same.

Counsel for 2nd Respondent made a prayer to assist the Court on the legal issues being argued and the Court granted the prayer. Counsel for 2nd Respondent submitted that, the grant of interrogatories is a discretionary power of the court and the matters in respect of which it is granted should relate to the issues in dispute. Counsel further submitted that, the interrogatories which Petitioner intended to serve did not relate to matters in dispute before the court and could be asked in cross-examination. He concluded by submitting the interrogatories amounted to fishing and the court should dismiss it. In support of his case, Counsel for petitioner also read a portion of the Gbadegbe’s decision which Counsel for the petitioner has failed to draw the Court’s attention.

DECISION OF THE COURT

After a long recess, the Court speaking through the Chief Justice dismissed the Application on the basis that interrogatories are granted having regard to all the circumstances of a case. The Court said the petitioner has failed to establish the relevancy of the interrogatories they want to serve in relation to the case they had filed. The court also noted that following the 2012 election petition, new laws have been passed to regulate how election petitions are to be conducted hence reliance of the high court rules was improper . The application was therefore dismissed.

PRE-TRIAL/CASE MANAGEMENT

The court solicited issues from Counsel for the parties but Counsel for the Petitioners prayed for the matter to be adjourned to Thursday since their issues were not ready and they wanted to peruse the ruling of the Court to advise themselves.

Counsel for the 2nd Respondent submitted to the Court that the business of the day was Pre-trial and Counsel for the Petitioner ought to have been ready for the business.

The Court however adjourned to 20th January, 2021 for the parties to file their issues and for case management to proceed.

Why many women are not happy in their marriages

Posted on January 19, 2021 by Kofi Tutu

Why is your woman not happy with you? Why is she easily angry, irritable, depressed, frustrated and very bitter towards you? Why did she lose respect for you in marriage? Why is she so emotionally, hates sex and lost her charm?

YOU DON’T APPRECIATE HER: Some men are perfect complainers and critics. They believe praising a woman will make her head swell and misbehave, even when she s slaving to death, they will rather attack, abuse, complain, criticize than appreciate her. If you are that type of man, you can never have a happy woman under your roof. A simple “Thank you”,” You are doing a great job”, “It’s great having you in my life” will do a great magic and turn your marriage around. Learn to appreciate your wife when she goes out of her way to please you. She will be happy and that gloom in your marriage will automatically disappear.
YOU DON’T LISTEN TO HER: We are communication beings. I mean women love to talk, be listened to and well understood. When you are too busy to communicate with her, look into her eyeball and let her know she is the most important person to you after God, you will have a frustrated, depressed wife. We understand you can be so busy and needs time to unwind and think, yes! We know but don’t make a habit of ignoring your wife. She needs to talk to her daily.
YOU CHEAT ON HER: Double dating is not allowed in courtship, if you cheat on her, she will end it. Chasing side chicks, having emotional/sexual chats with other women may make your wife lose her mind. No wife will ever be happy with an adulterer. Stop it now and work on your marriage or you may end up divorced.
YOU DON’T ADMIRE HER: Some men will look at their very beautiful wife, acknowledge her beauty and attractiveness but to open their mouths and say it is big problem. Some men need to be taught how to admire their women. Learn to open your mouth and tell your wife she’s beautiful daily. No man out there should do that for you, it’s your job. Admire her when she makes effort to look good for you. Admire her hair, body and natural endowments. Admire her uniqueness. Open your mouth and tell her. Women need to hear this as often as possible. Any time hubby tells me I’m so beautiful, well endowed and irresistible, I can’t help blushing. My day is made!
YOU RUSH IN AND OUT KF SEX: Little or no foreplay will leave her dry and uninterested. Rushing in and rushing out of sex is a killer of sexual intimacy in marriage. Learn to be romantic. Be patient with her, take things slowly till she is ready for intercourse. Do not roll over and sleep when it is over. Pull her in your arms. Let her sleep in your arms. There is nothing as blissful as sleeping in my husband’s arms, let your wife sleep in your arms.
YOU DON’T ASSIST WITH CHORES
You sit in front of TV with remote in hand and a tooth pick in between your teeth while your wife is slaving in the kitchen, changing diapers, helping your kids with assignment, answering phone calls from clients, sweeping the apartment, preparing for the next day work. That’s very bad. Your wife works as much as you do if not more. Learn to assist your woman at home. Don’t turn her to your maid, don’t watch her die of stress, don’t make her look older than you.
YOU COMPARE HER WITH OTHER WOMEN. That’s a shame. If you love her the way those women’s husbands love them, she will be more virtuous than them all. Stop comparing your wife with women you don’t know their weaknesses. If their husbands tell you their other side they have been enduring you will thank God for yours. The grass always look greener on the other side. Stop being covetous. Work on your marriage and have a better wife.
YOU CORRECT HER IN PUBLIC: Nothing embarrasses a woman more like her husband correcting or shouting at her in public. It is demeaning and very babyish. Every form of correction should take place in the house before stepping out and if at all you must correct as a matter of urgency, call her aside and speak to her softly, maturely and discreetly. You will earn her honour for protecting her image, she will respect you more and be happy with you.
YOU LISTEN TO YOUR MOTHER AGAINST HER
This is wrong. You are not joined to your mother but your wife. You are not one with your mum but your wife. Some men don’t understand the language of leaving and cleaving. You leave every form of emotional intimacy with your parents and bond with your wife. You should talk first to your wife not your mum when making decisions. Both of you should speak with one voice to your mum. Some men even leave the home running of their marriage to the mother and treat their wives like slaves in her marriage. No woman will ever be happy with you in that kind of arrangement -never!
YOU DON’T TAKE FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILIES
How can a woman ever be happy with a husband who spends all his money on himself and his extended family members and little or nothing on his wife and children. These men appear nice, very generous, philanthropic outside but inside, the woman is suffering, hungry and indebted. The rent is in arrears, children are sent home for school fees, debtors are harass to to bless him, but the tears of the wife and children are cursing him. Your wife’s curse will work faster than all the supposed blessings you expect from your eye service. Charity begins at home. Your wife and children are more important than others. Take care of them first before taking care of outsiders. When your family is happy, well fed and clothed, they will be happy and bless you. People will bless you for helping you. God will also bless you abundantly.

Learn to put first things first. When your wife is happy with you, your life will run smoothly, doors of favour will open to you and you will increase in health, wealth and prosperity.

Do not make your wife unhappy, it will affect your marriage.

May the good Lord help you go be the best husband in the world to your wife. You will not fail in Jesus’ name.

HOW TO APOLOGIZE IN YOUR RELATIONSHIP OR MARRIAGE…

Posted on January 19, 2021 by Kofi Tutu

“Admit you are wrong”
Many grown ups are not humble enough to admit to their fault. Will you mess up your love just because of your pride?
“Explain why you did what you did”
Give the background sequence of events that led to you being on the wrong. A blank apology doesn’t address the issue
“Hear from your partner how he/she feels”
Allow your partner to vent, cry, shout, and tell you how much your actions/words pain him/her. Emotions and hurt shouldn’t be hidden if true reconcilition and healing is to occur. This also shows you care for your partner’s feelings
“Say sorry”
Let your partner hear you say those words, ‘I am sorry, please forgive me’
“Commit to not doing it again”
Say you won’t repeat the mistake again and mean it. An apology is empty if it’s not sincere
“Hear from your partner if you are forgiven”
Get to hear your partner tell you ‘I forgive you’. It has to be official
“Thank your partner for forgiving you”
Appreciate the goodness of your partner’s heart to forgive you. It takes love to overlook your wrong, don’t take that for granted
“Agree on a plan to keep the wrong from being repeated”
This is why it is important to know the history that led to you doing or saying wrong; you two get to agree on what to do to prevent it from happening again
“Seal it with a kiss”
Kiss as soon you are given an official forgiveness. Now that your partner has forgiven you, your lips will be well-received
“Make love”
Your spouse’s heart feels safe because you care, you feel pardoned; make passionate love to bring you two even closer. Make-up sex
“Do something sweet”
Go out of your way to make your partner smile: leave a love note under the pillow, buy her flowers or a gift, cook his favourite meal, take a photo of the both you happy and frame it, cater to each other
“Take your partner out on a date”
Go out on a romantic and memorable date. Look into each other’s eyes, melt each other’s hearts, dress up and go out for a night to remember
“Affirm each other’s love”
Tell each other how much you love and mean to each other, leave no doubt about your love, show that you two still have love, ‘you’re still the one that I love.
“Actually change”
The best kind of sorry is when you actually change. Let your partner see a new you
“Don’t keep a record of wrongs”
Don’t keep reminding each other of your wrongs, move past the mistakes

You will not fail in Marriage in JESUS NAME

DELILLAH STRATEGY: HOW TO KEEP YOUR HUSBAND

Posted on January 19, 2021 by Kofi Tutu

For years now many pulpiteers and preachers have condemned Delilah as a prostitute and the one responsible for the ruining of the great man Samson.Of course she did.But then, I have this question for them: What made Samson keep coming back to Delilah even though he knew she wanted to find out the secret of his strength?

Could it have been just sex? I doubt. This is because there were prostitutes that Samson slept with .Or could it be that Delilah was the most beautiful girl in Philistine? I doubt that too.

I personally think that Delilah knew HOW TO KEEP HER MAN AT HOME. How to make a man return back to her laps.

Here are few secrets I guess she used and every woman can use to keep her man. IF A MAN IS UNFAITHFUL…THE WOMAN OBVIOUSLY HAS LOST GROUND AND HASN’T BEING DOING HER JOB WELL.

Let me share with you some Strategies I feel can be of help.I call it….
DELILAH STRATEGIES:

DELILAH STRATEGY 1: SMELL GOOD; LOOK GOOD. Don’t dress in wrapper after you are married.When your husband comes back from work, what does he see? A woman wrapped like and old, worn out woman? But that is not what he sees at work on those lovely secretaries and co workers.
Don’t smell soup or smoke when he comes back from work. Smell good, romantic and be on your sexiest bump shot so that when he comes home, he wondering and staring at you. Prayer won’t keep your husband at home. This will!…prayers
come later on once you have done that.

DELILAH STRATEGY 2: COOK WELL. Your husband should WANT TO COME BACK HOME TO EAT YOUR MEALS. All that talk about the maid does that is foolish.After good sex, a good meal is what ANY MAN wants from his wife.Will your husband be able to call his friends over to his house to eat your meal? Sister, learn how to cook.Stop making excuses.

DELILAH STRATEGY 3: BE HIS NUMBER ONE ENCOURAGER: No one should praise your husband more than you.NO ONE. Let him know that you are his number one cheer leader .Ask him about his business. Don’t advise him, just listen to him. Listening is the biggest encouragement he can receive from you.
Submission is a charm. it activates love naturally.
Your husband is not your friend or partner, he is your lord. Give him the honour.

DELILAH STRATEGY 4: GIVE HIM GOOD SEX.
Let every sexual time be one he would remember. Read the book ART OF MARRIAGE by Tim Lahaye. It would be of great help. Don’t take your sexual life for granted. Many do. I have talked with not less than 5 married men who complain about their wives’ inexperience and refusal to learn about sex.

Sex is an art.It can be learned..but please do it in marriage. There is less guilt and you are on the side of God.God watches married people have sex.And he is disappointed when any of them goes away unfulfilled. He created it and believes that if we do it properly we can get it right.

All the best.

You will not fail in marriage in Jesus name

13 HOT SECRETS OF SIDE CHICKS( ALL WIVES MUST READ THIS)

Posted on January 19, 2021 by Kofi Tutu

Married women, have you ever wondered why some randy husbands prefer to always visit their side chicks? There are certain things these women do which you are not aware of. Below are some of the things that attract married men to strange women (Proverb 6:24):

They wear seductive clothes that most men might not be able to resist whereas wives at home don’t bother to seduce their husbands again. Some wives even wear dirty clothes.
They offer men different kinds of sexual styles that make men always ask for more whereas many wives have become a log of woods during sex at home.
Side chicks don’t deny men sex. Wherever they meet with men, they have it in mind that part of their duties is sex where many wives deny their husbands at home in ignorance.
Side chicks use highly attractive perfumes and deodorants whereas many wives ignore such attraction at home.
Some side chicks use charms to talk to men. Some side chicks rob some charms on their private parts in order to capture men. Once a man sleeps with any of these ladies, it will take the mercy of God for them to remember home, whereas, many wives cannot even pray.
Some side chicks kiss, romance, and hug men publicly without any iota of shame but many wives have abandoned kissing and hugging their husbands at home.
Some side chicks prepare highly delicious foods for men which may even be better than their wives’ foods whereas many wives don’t care about the quality of foods they prepare for their husbands.
Side chicks are usually punctual when they have appointments with men whereas many wives take their husbands for granted at home.
Many side chicks send highly romantic/seductive messages on WhatsApp, text messages, and other platforms including porn, whereas many wives don’t know how to seduce their husbands at home.
Side chicks keep their homes neat with a good air freshener whereas many wives keep their homes dirty and smelly.
Many side chicks feed men whenever they are together in a restaurant or at any other place whereas many wives don’t know how to pamper their husbands at home.
Many side chicks respect and honour men whereas many wives are not respectful at home.
Side chicks are never tired of sexual escapades with men but many wives are already tired and have retired from active sex activities.

Beloved wives, you have great work to do. Side chicks are becoming highly sophisticated these days and this is one of the reasons why many ignorant men are going after these strange women.

Put your home in order and improve on the relationship with your husband. Always pray for your husband and be innovative on the dining table and in the bedroom.

NOTE: As a wife, ask yourself a question thus, “As a wife, what am I doing wrongly that side chicks are doing better?”

And as a man, YOU HAVE NO EXCUSE OF CHEATING ON YOUR DEAR WIFE. REAL MEN DON’T CHEAT. BUILD YOUR MARRIAGE

God bless our woman in Jesus name.

HOW TO PROTECT YOUR MARRIAGE!

Posted on January 19, 2021 by Kofi Tutu

Even if you are married to the best spouse in the whole world, if you do not guard your heart, you may end up “falling in love” with someone aside your spouse and eventually ruin your
marriage.

No one gets married and plans to have affair but lots of married men and women are into affairs today because they slept when they should have been wide awake with their five senses alert.

Don’t be too friendly with the opposite sex.
This is where lots of married people land in trouble.
Over spirituality and pride will destroy your marriage!
You can’t handle close
friendship with the opposite sex as a married person. Your
heart is involved.
Set boundaries.
Be disciplined.
Be cordial.
Be respectful.
Be godly.
Be holy.
Don’t share your personal problems with an opposite sex friend.
It will bond you together. Problems bond people.
Don’t contact any opposite sex you are fond of.
If you secretly admire them, you are fond of them and there is a
tingling in your heart at the mere thought of them, don’t contact!
Avoid unnecessary eye contact that lingers with the
opposite sex.
Don’t tell an opposite sex you are romantic or sexy.
That private information is for your spouse only.
Avoid discussions with the opposite sex when you are tired,
very sad, depressed, sorrowful, drowsy, sleepy or very sick.
This can cloud your judgment and make you say silly things.
Talk to your husband/wife instead.
Avoid unnecessary compliment of the opposite sex.
Stop saying “I love you” to the opposite sex.
For what?
Work on your Marriage. Keep the fire of love and romance alive in your Marriage.
Protect your Family.
Don’t share your marital problems with your opposite sex friend. It will bond you.
Never flirt with the opposite sex.
Mind the pictures you post on social media. Limit pictures that show your curves or portray you as sexy.
Do not contact all your EX after mariage.
Don’t chat with the opposite sex on the days you are vulnerable.
Stop focusing on your spouse’s weaknesses and appreciate their strengths.
If you always see the bad side of your spouse, you will be angry, bitter, critical and look for someone who can “understand” you and make you happy aside your spouse. That is the beginning of an emotional affair and eventual sexual affair. It is the beginning of the end of a once glorious marriage!

FLEE from all appearance of evil is what the Bible says.
What you will not eat, don’t bring it to your nose. Don’t smell it!
Don’t start what you cannot finish!
Avoid all emotional and sexual affairs. They will destroy your
marriage!

May you not take a step that will lead to eternal regret in
Jesus’ name.

PLEASE SEEK FOR THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT CALLED SELF CONTROL AND ALWAYS ANCHOR YOUR THOUGHTS ON PHIL 4:8.
GOD BLESS YOU.

Let this message get to the Good Women Leader and Men’s Fellowship Leader and let them share it on their various group platforms so all married men and women will get it. Let them discuss it at their meetings.

The Lord will keep our homes, marriages and keep us pure to reign with Him in Jesus name. Amen.

Thank you for reading.

10 SIMPLE QUESTIONS YOU SHOULD ASK YOUR PARTNER IN COURTSHIP

Posted on January 18, 2021 by Kofi Tutu

ARE YOU BORN AGAIN? So you can know if both of you have the same spiritual father – Jesus. If not, you are heading towards divorce! Or an head on collision with his father -satan!
WHAT IS YOUR VISION? “I want to be a good staff in my company” is not a vision. “I plan to be a billionaire in dollars in the next 20 years by exporting cocoa to at least 10 foreign countries” makes sense. Or ” I want to be a philanthropist by taking care of widows, orphans and single mothers” Or ” I want to be a General Overseer of a great healing ministry in Nigeria” or ” I want to be the chancellor of a world best university in my country”. Make your vision clear. If it is clear, your partner will understand you and know how to position themselves to support, encourage and stand by you. If they don’t agree with your vision, end the relationship! There is no reason to get married to them at all.
WHICH CHURCH WILL YOU BE ATTENDING AFTER WEDDING? If you hate his church and Pastor and you can never attend o for whatever reason on earth, end the relationship!
HOW MUCH DO YOU EARN? Very important, so you can know how to plan on your finance and grow it.
WHAT ARE YOUR FINANCIAL PLANS? No one should stay stagnant financially. If you are earning 50k right now, how do you intend to increase it? Will you work harder and seek promotions in your company, will you diversify, start a business, invest, etc. What type of business can you profitably invest in?
HAVE YOU BEEN SEXUALLY ACTIVE IN THE PAST? You need to know so you can know what to expect on the wedding night and how to meet their sexual needs in marriage. Men who have been sexually active before can’t stand sexual boredom and routine in marriage.
WHAT ARE YOUR SEXUAL EXPECTATIONS? Questions like this should be asked close to the wedding for people with very low resistance to mature sex talk. Do you believe in different sex styles, oral sex, using vibrator, etc so you can know how to position yourself sexually in marriage and meet their sexual needs.
WHAT IS YOUR LOVE LANGUAGE? Some like to be touched, hugged, etc a lot. Some love gifts, if you love them, give them gifts, some want you to spend quality time with them, some want you to affirm, admire, compliment and appreciate them. Ask, so you do not build your marriage on ignorance.
WHAT CAN I EVER DO THAT WILL MAKE YOU DIVORCE ME? We know God is against divorce but don’t do things that will make them think of booting you out of their lives. Ask them things they hate so you wont do them and put an end to your marriage! E.g not all men can take adultery from their wives and women can’t handle a man that physically assaults her. Talk!
FAMILY PLANNING. How many children do you want to have within the space of how many years? You need to plan so you don’t start pumping out kids year in year out till the man runs away from home.

Talk! Courtship is for serious talking and planning towards your glorious future in marriage. There is no accidental success. What you don’t plan for you will never experience. Plan towards marital bliss and you will enjoy heaven on earth in your marriage.

Thanks for reading. God bless you. Cheers!

WHY SOME MARRIED COUPLES ARE WAXING STRONG?

Posted on January 18, 2021 by Kofi Tutu

Sometimes, you wonder why some couples are waxing stronger and growing better together. The secret lies in some deliberate things they consciously and continuously do together, individually and in UNITY.

Let’s share a few of these things:

(1) Praying together: A family that prays together will stand, win and enjoy victory together. Draw strength from God as an individual and a couple. You need God all the way

(2) Study and practice the word of God: We have principles of running a Christian home that will become heaven on earth. Search the scriptures, obey and practice it.

(3) Forgiveness: Learn to forgive and forge ahead. Dwelling for long on offences and things that hurt you will slow you down in growing with your spouse.

(4) Playing together: I mean play, crack jokes, have fun and relate well. You are too strict and overburdened with many things. Enjoy yourself with your spouse in marriage. Create bonding activities and befriend each other.

(5) Transparency/openness: Sin and all manners of atrocities thrive in secrecy. Stop hiding from your spouse, be open and transparent. Let this be your new way of life.

(6) Effective communication will aid your transparency. Speak the truth in love and gel together.

(7) Value each other and your relationship. Guard and regard what is valuable to you. See your spouse and relationship as precious and of great value. Nothing should make you downgrade/disdain your relationship. Pay attention to it and work things out.

(8) Words of comfort and show immense support. When you know the atmosphere at home and you are convinced of the pillar your spouse has been, you will not grow weary in the pursuit of your vision. Give your spouse unquantifiable support

(9) Safeguard your Bedroom: This is your strong room oh! Don’t joke with it. Sex in marriage between a husband and his wife is a gift from God to the married; it must be celebrated, not to be abused or misused. Do it well as acceptable unto the Lord and enjoyable to yourselves as couples.

When you pay attention to the above and humbly give yourself to continuous learning and improvement, you will become stronger and better in marriage.

Your marriage will be blissful in the name of Jesus.

I’ll lockdown the country again if active cases of COVID-19 keep rising – Akufo-Addo

Posted on January 18, 2021 by Kofi Tutu

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has said he does not intend to lockdown the country again due to the coronavirus.

However, he said, if the number of active cases keep rising, he will have no option but to impose the restrictions on movement of persons in parts of the country as part of measure to contain the virus.

In April last year, Mr Akufo-Addo placed restrictions on the movement of persons in Accra and Kumasi for three weeks, as part of measures to contain the virus.

The restrictions were lifted after the president said it was safe to do so.

Following the rise in the active cases lately, Mr Akufo-Addo said on Sunday January 17, 2020 that if need be, he will partially lockdown the country again.

“We do not want to go back to the days of partial lockdowns, which had a negative impact on our economy and our way of life. But should that becoming necessary, ie., should the number of active cases continue to increase at the current rate, I will have no option but to re-impose these restrictions because it is better to be safe than to be sorry. So together, let us all ensure that we respect the protocols,” he said.

He further instructed the Inspector General of Police (IGP) to ensure that Ghanaians strictly comply with the face mask wearing law.

This comes after the president expressed worry over the increasing number of the active cases of the coronavirus in the country.

Mr Akufo-Addo in address to the nation on Sunday said that some arriving passengers at the Kotoka International Airport (KIA) have tested positive for the new variance of the coronavirus.

He revealed that these persons have been isolated.

“Recent genomic sequencing undertaken by our scientists have established that some arriving passengers tested positive for new variants of COVID-19. These passengers have all been isolated.

“Furthermore, work is ongoing to determine the presence and extent of spread of the new variants in the general population,” Mr Akufo-Addo said.

Mr Akufo-Addo further expressed worry over the increasing number of active coronavirus cases in the country lately.

“The number of patients requiring hospitalisation and intensive care is rising. The number of severe cases, which stood at eighteen (18) a week ago, has increased sharply to one hundred and twenty (120). Two weeks ago, there was no critical case, we now have thirty-three (33) in our treatment facilities,” he added.

“Again, according to statistics from the Ghana Health Service, the considerable number of persons who are severely ill are, surprisingly, relatively youthful persons, with no previous underlying health conditions.”

“Two weeks ago, there was no critical case, we now have thirty-three (33) in our treatment facilities,” he said.

He added “Again, according to statistics from the Ghana Health Service, the considerable number of persons who are severely ill are, surprisingly, relatively youthful persons, with no previous underlying health conditions.”
