Victory Bible Church Int’l donates assorted items, cash to Achimota Hospital
THE Victory Bible Church International (VBCI) on Saturday presented assorted items and an amount of GH¢14,000 to in-patients of the Achimota Hospital to support their daily needs.
The items included sanitary pads, washing powder, diapers (pampers), liquid soap and bar soap.
Making the presentation, the Provincial Superintendent of the Achimota Province of the church, Bishop Seth Aryitey, said the gesture formed part of the church’s social responsibility to show love and care for people in society, particularly the sick.
“As you know, Jesus Christ laid down his life for humanity and as followers of Jesus Christ, we are also following in his footsteps by giving and showing love and care to the people at the hospital,” he added.
“For example, Jesus Christ mentioned in Matthew 25:36 that when I was naked, you clothed me; when I was hospitalised, you came to support me; when I was hungry, you fed me,” he said.
He said the donation was to support patients across various wards, expressing hope that it would make an impact on their wellbeing.
Receiving the items, the Senior Health Service Administrator of the Achimota Hospital, Mrs Sumaya Rashid, expressed gratitude to the church for the gesture.
Mrs Rashid noted that the hospital does not often receive such support, adding that the donated items would go a long way in helping to care for the patients.
She also expressed hope that the church would continue to strengthen its collaboration with the hospital to improve healthcare delivery in Achimota and the wider municipality.

Ghanaian cinema continues to break boundaries as Vibes The Movie has received an official nomination at the prestigious Toronto International Nollywood Film Festival (TINFF) in Toronto.
This latest international recognition is another proud moment for Ghana and a powerful testament to the creativity, originality, and global appeal of Ghanaian storytelling.

The film has already brought honour to Ghana on the international stage, most recently winning an Outstanding Achievement Award at the American Motion Pictures Festival in the United States.
The Chronicle noted that the film was recognized for its originality, craftsmanship, and storytelling impact among a competitive pool of global entries.
Now, with a nomination at TINFF in Canada, Vibes The Movie continues its remarkable journey from the streets of Accra to some of the world’s most respected film platforms.

As Vibes The Movie flies the Black Star high in Toronto, Ghana celebrates yet another cultural achievement that showcases the country’s talent, resilience, and storytelling excellence to the world
A prominent member of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) has broken silence on the deep-seated internal machinations within the party, warning that the continuous victimization of members could severely jeopardize unity ahead of the general elections.
In a post on the party’s internal democratic processes, the former National Entrpreneurship and Innovation Programme (NEIP) boss, Kofi Ofosu Nkansah revealed how personal ambitions were stifled by party elites in the Asante Akyem Central constituency, despite overwhelming grassroots support.
According to the aggrieved party member, the decision to run for the parliamentary seat was not a self-serving agenda but a direct response to a call to service by the local constituents.
“My Asante Akyem Central people loved my politics and approached me to come and serve them as MP,” he stated.
He added that “But my own party elders blocked me and supported the incumbent MP to cheat through the system as if I was an outsider.”
The unfair playing field he revealed led to a massive financial distress. The stalwart disclosed incurring massive debts across two consecutive primary election cycles, alongside other personal challenges.
Despite the systemic sabotage, Kofi Ofosu Nkansah noted that he remained loyal, continuously defending both the NPP party and the government’s policies at all levels.
“Seeing what’s going on in the current polling station elections in several constituencies, it seems not much has changed,” he warned.
“The victimization of those who want to challenge current or former MPs should stop,” he stated.
With the general elections approaching, he cautioned,”You don’t treat party people anyhow and expect unconditional unity for the general elections.”
