Happenings In Gold Coast

The two pastors are said to have been involved in an altercation during a live radio panel discussion on Accra-based Kingdom FM and earlier reports suggested that Prophet Kumchacha landed a slap on the face of Papa Shee. Speaking in an interview with Oman Channel in a YouTube video, Prophet Kumchacha denied slapping Evangelist Papa Shee but admitted that he indeed made an attempt to dole his fellow preacher a slap. According to him, the attempted act was a result of some untruthful and defamatory statements Papa Shee has made against him and some pastors which he had sought to reiterate during the radio discussion. "Papa Shee mentioned Archbishop Nicholas Duncan Williams's name and said he was not from God adding that he was an agent of the devil. He also mentioned Bishop Agyinasare, Bishop Sam Korankye Ankrah and added Rev Mensa Otabil saying they were all working for the devil," he stated. He said he only sought to clarify to Evangelist Papa Shee that his name calling and defamatory statements were not right and worthy of a preacher. "You can preach against fake pastors; you can wage a war against fake men of God. That is not wrong but you don't go about mentioning people's names and making defamatory statements about it," he indicated. Evangelist Papa Shee has in recent times been courting backlash over some comments and claims of his. He was recently bashed by several preachers and critics for claiming that people who respond to phone calls with the famous "Hello" greetings are bound to perish in hellfire. According to the former hiplife artiste turned evangelist, the greeting has a devilish and satanic underpinning. Source | Summary

Koomson was introduced to varieties of food supplements and sugared foods in his infant stages, because his mother not her real name, was a promising legal practitioner who had no time to breastfeed him. His mother will not border to breastfeed him, because as a single parent, Amina, an industrious woman, was determined to provide a brighter and well-secured future for her son. Koomson looked very healthy at age three, and his strong body make-ups motivates his mother much to add on more food supplements at the expense of breast milk. Data on infant nutrition in Ghana, shows decreasing breastfeeding rates, inadequate meal frequency and diet diversity, and increasing wasting among children younger below five years. In Ghana, early initiation of breastfeeding hovers around 50 percent while exclusive breastfeeding at six months is 43 percent. Breastfeeding during childhood sets the tone and patterns for lifelong health and wellness, but exclusive breastfeeding allows children to reach full growth potential, perform well in school and maintain their energy levels. Currently, in Ghana, only one child in every two is put to the breast within the first hour of life and the rate of exclusive breastfeeding of children less than six months is reducing, as over 20 percent of children are given water in the first six months of their lives. The consequences of fewer babies receiving breast milk and a poor nutrition diet mean that more children are at risk of experiencing stunting, and the rate of wasting is on the increase across Ghana's regions. It seeks to improve exclusive breastfeeding and promote good nutrition for young children and further seeks to address the issues of stunting, wasting and unnecessary deaths. Dr. Mrs Paulina Appiah, the Bono East Deputy Regional Director in-charge of Public Health, noted exclusive breastfeeding, helped protect infants from common childhood illnesses such as diarrhea and pneumonia, which she said were the two primary causes of child mortality in the country. According to Dr John Ekow Otoo, the Bono Regional Deputy Director, Public Health, feeding babies below six months with breast milk devoid of water and food supplements protect children from illnesses and avoidable deaths. Dr said it was unfortunate nursing mothers provided their babies with food supplements, instead of taking them through exclusive breastfeeding, which was naturally essential to the proper growth and development that enhanced the well-being of children. Exclusive breastfeeding is important for babies to grow appropriately, and live a healthful life because studies linked breastfeeding to better school performance, being physically active, and, eventually, a healthy adulthood. Since it helps protect infants from common childhood illnesses, and help reduce child mortality, this reporter believes the nation requires a legal framework or policy guideline that will promote exclusive breastfeeding and save innocent children from avoidable deaths. In his divine wisdom, God has provided the required nutrients in breast milk, and denying babies and infants breastfeeding is a worst form of human right abuse and disregarding mothers must not go unpunished.

Stacey Amma Osei-Kuffuor has been picked to write Marvel Studios' Blade, the Vampire Slayer. Having been asked to write Marvel Studios' Blade, the Vampire Slayer, Stacy follows the path of Nia Dacosta who worked on Captain Marvel 2 and becomes Marvel's first Black woman director to set her own record. Stacey Osei-Kuffuor before landing this feat was a playwright who acted as story editor and writer on HBO's acclaimed limited series Watchmen. Attached to star as the horror hero in the new movie is Mahershala Ali, who won an Oscar for his performance in Green Book. The movie is planned to incarnate the character played by Wesley Snipes in a string of movies in the early 2000s and was revealed during Marvel's senses-shattering presentation at 2019's San Diego Comic-Con. Marvel Studios is said to have spent the last six months meeting with writers in what was described as a meticulous search, with the star actor Mahershala Ali directly involved. Marvel deliberately as part of a reflection of its focus and diversity majorly considered Black writers for the role. Created as a supporting character by Marv Wolfman and Gene Colan, Blade first appeared in Tomb of Dracula No. 10 in 1973, becoming a cult favorite. He is a human-vampire hybrid thanks to his mother being bitten and killed by a blood-sucker during childbirth. Even though she earned an Emmy-nomination for outstanding writing in a comedy series for her work on Hulu's Pen15, it was her work in Watchmen, HBO's heady spin on the Alan Moore-Dave Gibbons comic, hat got Stacey Osei-Kuffuor noticed, as well as a WGA Award win for best new series. Stacey worked on Hunters, Amazon's blood-soaked limited series that saw Al Pacino and Logan Lerman as Nazi hunters in 1970s America, and HBO crime thriller Run, starring Domhnall Gleeson. Despite her seemingly rapid ascent in Hollywood, the Chicago-born Osei-Kuffour spent years writing plays and poetry. She has a Master's degree in the former from Hunter College in New York – but struggled to find work as a writer. Her jump from story editor to now a Marvel movie, and breaking down a barrier while doing so, makes for quite a Cinderella story. Source | Summary
