When the Spanish Embassy in Ghana decides to ‘misbehave’
The Spanish Embassy in Ghana seems to be ‘manufacturing’ a deadly ‘virus-culture’ in its ‘laboratory’ within the Embassy.
Reportedly, it began ‘test-experimentation’ of the ‘manufacture’ of the ‘virus-culture’ for eventual ‘propagation’, many months ago.
Strangely but luckily, however, the ‘gas-laden’ ‘virus-culture’ seems to be ‘leaking’ only within the Spanish Embassy.
Analysts predict with certainty that if the ‘gas-laden’ ‘virus-culture’ ‘escapes’ from the Embassy to announce its presence in the adjoining Ghanaian community, there will, surely, be ‘conflagration’.
“And the ‘conflagration’ will consume the entire Spanish Embassy building,” the analysts added.
The analysts are, therefore, urging the Spanish Embassy to quickly abandon the ‘test-experimentation’ of the ‘gas-laden’ ‘virus-culture’; warning that “if it escapes into the Ghanaian community, the monumental explosion it will cause, will be extremely difficult to comprehend .”
The analysts remind the Spanish Embassy:”The Vienna Convention is very much alive but look at how the buildings of the Bulgarian Embassy and the Nigerian High Commission in Ghana were illegally demolished in broad daylight.
“If you intentionally attempt to toy with Ghanaian traditions, culture and family values, you do so at your own peril.”
Readers, the analysts liken the hyperbolic ‘test-experimentation’ of the ‘gas-laden’ ‘virus-culture’ in the Spanish Embassy to same-sex marriages; being promoted and sponsored by the Embassy and its likely consequences.
Reportedly, the Spanish Embassy is feverishly getting ready to “bless” and “celebrate” same-sex marriages within the Embassy building, citing the Vienna Convention as its ‘Principal Witness’ and ‘Certificate of Authorisation’.
Consequently, the Spanish Embassy has written to Ghana’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration, emphatically stating that it is more than ready to “bless” and “celebrate” same-sex marriages at the Embassy.
Refreshingly, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration has re-stated Ghana’s position to the Embassy on same-sex marriages; in line with our country’s laws, traditions, culture and family values.
Indeed, homosexual conduct is criminalised by Ghana’s criminal laws. Section 104(1) (b) of Ghana’s Criminal Offences Act, 1960 (Act 29) abhors consensual same-sex intercourse and prohibits it.
So, it is very clear that a consensual same-sex relation is a criminal offence within the meaning of Ghana’s Criminal Offences Act.
As a matter of fact, the only mode of sexual intercourse which does not offend Ghanaian law is sexual intercourse through the vagina by penile penetration.
Strangely, Ghana and many other African countries are now witnessing the intrusion of rotten and stinking European and American culture of homosexuality. And homosexuality is gradually becoming a cult; a club and a foundation.
The Member of Parliament for Ningo-Prampram and a very active anti-LGBTQ+ advocate, Mr Sam Nartey George, reminds the Spanish Embassy:”Be minded that you are simply guests”, adding, “I wonder why you are not pushing your perverse agenda in Togo, Burkina Faso and Ivory Coast.”
The European Union in Ghana has openly thrown its weight behind the LGBTQ+ promoters in the country, claiming that equality, tolerance and respect for one another are core values of the European Union.
Strong opposition against the emerging LGBTQ+ community in the country is gaining tap-roots. They include the clergy, traditional rulers and teacher unions. They strongly argue that homosexuality is not a rights issue.
The Executive Secretary of the National Coalition for Proper Human Sexual Rights and Family Values, Mr Moses Foh-Amoaning, says:”Ghana has not signed any international law permitting the promotion of LGBTQ+ activities in the country.”
He stresses:”Any attempt by anyone to promote activities of the LGBTQ+ group in the country, amounts to illegality.”
Mr Foh-Amoaning has chastised the international community in Ghana, “for promoting an act which is alien to the customs and traditions of Ghanaians and which infringes on the sovereignty of our state.”
The President of the Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council, Professor Paul Frimpong Manso also says:”The actions of the LGBTQ+ group are completely at variance with the laws of God as contained in the Holy Bible, concerning God’s plan of creation and the sanctity of marriage between a man and a woman and as ordained by God.”
Reportedly, a huge amount of $200 million is said to have been voted to promote LGBTQ+ activities in Ghana.
According to Mr Foh-Amoaning; “the $200 million funding forms part of a backdoor approach to sponsor LGBTQ+ activities in the country.”
Beneficiaries of the $200 million funding are said to be vocal groups, individuals and institutions in the country.
The belief in proper human sexual rights and Ghanaian family values is ‘notoriously’ overwhelming amongst the entire citizenry.
Mr Nathaniel Mensah, a Senior High School English Language teacher says:”People are ever ready to lay siege around the Spanish Embassy to ‘arrest’ and ‘discipline’ same-sex culprits, if they dare the people of Ghana.”
According to him; “if the Spanish Embassy disobeys our Foreign Ministry, they will have themselves to blame, because nobody can protect the embassy.”
Readers, Mr Mensah’s views seem to tally with that of the analysts and the hyperbolic ‘test-experimentation’ of the ‘gas-laden’ ‘virus-culture’ in the Spanish Embassy.
So, over to you, the Spanish Embassy !!!

One of the issues we have been grappling with as a nation is corruption, and it has had such a devastating effect on our national development. I have been convinced that until morality becomes the foundation upon which our governance system is built, we can never go forward as a nation.
Our traditional practices, which have shaped our cultural beliefs, have always espoused values that have kept us along the straight and the narrow and have preserved our societies since ancient times.
These are values that frown on negative habits like stealing, cheating, greediness, selfishness, etc. Our grandparents have told us stories of societies where stealing was regarded as so shameful that offenders, when caught, have on a number of instances committed suicide.
In fact, my mother told me of a story where a man who was living in the same village as her mother (my grandmother), after having been caught stealing a neighbour’s cockerel, out of shame committed suicide on a mango tree. Those were the days that shameful acts were an abomination.
Tegare worship, a traditional spiritual worship during which the spirit possesses the Tegare Priest and begins to reveal secrets, was one of the means by which the society upheld African values in the days of my grandmother and the early childhood days of my mother.
Those were the days when the fear of being killed by Tegare prevented people from engaging in anti-social vices. These days, people sleeping with other people’s wives are not uncommon.
These wrongful behaviour was not countenanced at all by Tegare. One was likely going to lose his life on days that Tegare operates, and so unhealthy habits like coveting your neighbour’s wife was a taboo.
Stealing of other people’s farm produce, for instance, could mean certain death or incapacitation of the whole or part of the body in the full glare of everybody. People realised that there were consequences for wrongdoing, and this went a long way to motivate the society to adhere to right values.
Imagine a President being sworn into office and whoever administers the oath says, “Please say this after me: I, Mr. …., do solemnly swear by God, the spirits of my ancestors and the spirits ruling in Ghana, that should I engage in corrupt acts, may I and my family become crippled, may madness become entrenched in my family, may incurable sicknesses and diseases be my portion and that of my family, both immediate and extended.”
Can you imagine a situation where a few weeks afterwards the President goes to engage in corrupt acts and we hear of his sudden demise or incapacitation and confessing that he engaged in corrupt acts before passing or before the incapacitation—and the effect it will have on his successor? I believe we have to critically examine this option to curb corruption.
My grandmother gave me an eyewitness account of one such encounter where a woman died instantly after the Tegare Priest had revealed a wrong attitude she had displayed during the performance on one of the days scheduled for Tegare spirit manifestation.
According to her story, the Priest, after he had been possessed by the spirit, declared that for what the woman had done, he would not forgive her and that he would kill. Instantly, according to my grandmother, the lady fell down suddenly and she died—just like what happened to Ananias and his wife Sapphira in Acts Chapter 5.
