UAE bans nationals of Ghana, 19 others from visiting Dubai

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has announced a visa ban on nationalities from 20 African countries seeking to visit Dubai, according to DW Africa. The ban takes immediate effect. Affected countries are Ghana, Sierra Leone, Sudan, Cameroon, Nigeria, Liberia, Burundi, Republic of Guinea, Gambia, Togo, Democratic Republic of Congo, Senegal, Benin, Ivory Coast, Congo, Rwanda, Burkina Faso, Guinea Bissau, Comoros and Uganda. According to the Germany-based news outlet, one of the reasons given for the ban is that many who arrive on visit visas end up overstaying in the country illegally while working, without legalising their stay.

Current economic crisis won’t stop donation for Cathedral project – Joyce Aryee

Ghana News

A member of the Board of Trustees for the National Cathedral project, Reverend Dr Joyce Aryee, says she is hopeful the country’s current economic crisis will not affect donations for the construction of the project. Speaking at a news conference in Accra to announce the establishment of a call centre for the project, Rev Aryee said the resilience of human beings in worse situations encouraged her that the economic hardship would not deter individuals from donating towards the project. “You know, human beings are so resilient. I am 76. I have lived through worse economic times in our country, therefore, I know economic times are as transient as the seasons of life,” she said. She added that: “God has a way of touching our lives in ways that sometimes we don’t unde...

“A Den of Thieves or A Hospital for Lawbreakers?” – The Ghanaian Perception About the Prisons Service

Ghana News, Pentecost News

On May 13, 2021, Obed Eli Aglidza, 31, was arrested by the New Ayoma Police for attacking and robbing a mobile money vendor at Likpe Kukurantumi in the Oti Region of Ghana. Two weeks later, he was sentenced by a Jasikan Circuit Court to 12 years imprisonment with hard labour. This was after considerable evidence, including a handbag containing a specified amount of money and the mobile phone of the victim, was obtained and presented in court to implicate him. As he was being whisked away in a police vehicle, a visibly shaken Obed could not hide his tears and cast a demeanour of one who had learnt his lesson, albeit the hard way. He would be spending the next decade of his life confined in a facility. And to turn back time, then, as he had wished, was in no mortal man’s capacity to grant...

Ghana News, Pentecost News

The General Secretary of the Christian Council of Ghana, Rev. Dr. Cyril Gershon Kwao Fayose, has expressed his displeasure at the commentary some people on social media made when clergymen were captured at an illegal mining (galamsey) site praying.

The deaths of nearly 100 children in Indonesia have prompted the country to suspend sales of all syrup and liquid medication.
