He (former Mayor) was eulogised as “a gentleman of great wit, forceful in expressing his opinion where others may suppress theirs.”
“Our brother in his lifetime was given the opportunity by the Government of Ghana as Lord Mayor of Accra to enhance the state of the Metropolis, a task he executed to perfection.
“Internationally, he was appreciated by many countries in Africa, the USA and France who awarded him the Chevalier de l’ordre National du mérite par décret on May 9, 2007,” his brother, Nik Amarteifio said.
Between 1957 and 1964, Mr. Nuno-Amarteifio attended the Achimota School, where he had his secondary and ‘sixth form’ education.
He worked in the United States of America, Canada before returning to Ghana as an architect and consultant. He was appointed Mayor of Accra between 1994 and 1998 during the late former President Jerry John Rawlings’ administration.
Ghana’s singing Prophet, Joseph Atarah, has released a video for his new song dubbed ‘Increase’. The video was directed and shot by renowned director, Sky Web.
The motivational video exhibits captivating dance moves, set against the vibrant and beautiful city of Accra. Prophet Atarah co-wrote the song with Nana Boateng.
Touching on the message during an interview on Hitz FM’s Daybreak Hitz, he said, ‘Increase’ is a motivational song telling people not to give up in their present situation. According to him, with determination and a relentless desire to succeed, God will make everything beautiful.
“As you trust in God’s plan, remember that ‘INCREASE’ is on the way. Just as seeds grow into harvest, your faith is growing into abundance. God’s got you, and His increase is surrounding you,” he added.
Prophet Atarah resigned from the military band in 2006 after an encounter with God to start his prophetic ministry and commenced his music journey about four years ago.
