Mahama pledges to lower Hajj costs for Muslims

0

John Dramani Mahama, the flag bearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has vowed to reduce the cost of Hajj if he is elected President in the 2024 general elections.

Mahama highlighted that the current Hajj fare, set at GH¢75,000, is excessively high, making it difficult for many ordinary Muslims to afford the pilgrimage to Mecca.

During Eid prayers with the Ahlussuna Wal-Jamah Muslim group at the forecourt of the State House in Accra on Sunday, Mahama addressed the issue.

Our pilgrims are in Mecca performing the Hajj. May Allah bring them safely home to us. Those who have been able to go are the privileged ones because we have had fares at GH¢75,000,” Mahama said. “It is very difficult for the ordinary Muslim to perform the Hajj but Insha Allah, if we win in this election and come into government, we are going to work to reduce the Hajj fare so that everybody can go.”

Muslims worldwide celebrated the festival of Eid Adha on Sunday, honoring the sacrifice of Prophet Ibrahim and his unwavering faith.

Ghanaian fetish priest turned Evangelist, Nana Agradaa aka Evangelist Tupac has caused a stir on social media.

The self-acclaimed woman of God claims thinking of being decent will be the last thing she does on earth.

It all started when Evangelist Tupac, as usual, went to Facebook live to engage with her fans and loved ones and for other reasons best known to her.

As she was on Facebook Live talking, one of her followers, a female took to the comment section of her live post to fire shots at her.

The follower said that all the women who are from Kwahu, where Nana Agradaa comes from are very decent except the now woman of God.

Even though the follower did not buttress her assertion, it is obvious she based on the way Evangelist Tupac behaves on social media to say that.

Replying to the lady, Nana Agradaa blocked the follower after which she fired shots at her, calling her all sorts of bad names.

You are struggling to see me today, but people might be struggling to see you tomorrow”, the actor said.

He said “I knew I would become rich. As a human, you know whether you will become successful or not. You see, there are people who because they will become successful, say certain things people do not understand. But because he is not successful now, after years you will get to understand certain things they said”, Dr. Likee added.

Advising the youth, Likee said, “Everyone needs to take very good care of themselves so that what God has for them can come to pass definitely and absolutely”.

Ghanaian musician Amerado has electrified the music scene with his latest release, a freestyle track titled “Point 5.”

After spending most of 2023 and the early part of 2024 releasing numerous tracks that showcased his singing abilities, Amerado announced his return to rap with this diss track on Friday, June 14, 2024.

Fans will remember his exploration of a different musical path with songs like “Kwaku Ananse,” “Abronoma,” and “Tin Ton Tan,” which highlighted his vocal skills.

In “Point 5,” Amerado directly addresses these critics with hard-hitting bars and an aggressive delivery, aiming at those who celebrated his supposed departure from rap.

He also sheds light on his temporary shift to singing, explaining that it was financially motivated. “I went out there to do some singing despite being a rapper because it was paying well,” he reveals in “Point 5.”

The release of “Point 5” has already sparked significant discussions across social media and within the Ghanaian music community.

Fans are excited to see Amerado back in his element, delivering the fiery, unapologetic rap that first brought him fame.
