Netherlands : Owusu Abeyie Extends Scoring Form

Ex-Ghana international, Quincy Owusu Abeyie, extended his scoring spree with NEC Nemegin in a heavy defeat for the Dutch Eredivise side.

The tricky Ghanaian registered another beauty in a 5-2 defeat for his NEC side at the hands of German side, HSV Hamburg.

The Dutch-born Ghanaian attacker followed up his solo goal over the weekend with another superb finish in the heavy defeat.

The former Arsenal speedster looks set to ink a two-year deal with the Dutch side after his impressive form in off season.

The explosive forward has been without a club for the past season despite his vast experience.

Exclusive: Dutch Side Signs Ghanaian Youngster

Ghanaian youngster, Reagy Baah Ofosu, has inked a two-year deal with Dutch side NEC Nejmigen.

The 24-year-old German-born Ghanaian joined the Eredivise side on a free transfer after seeing off his contract with Austrian side, SV Grodrig at the end of the 2015/16 European season.

The Hamburg-born forward signed an initial two-year deal with a renewal option after impressing officials of the Dutch side in preseason.

Ofosu left SV Grödig last season, where he played in the last six months, sixteen games in the Austrian Bundesliga. He previously was under contract with Chemnitzer FC, FC Ingolstadt and Hamburger SV.

Technical Manager of NEC, Danny Hoekman, expressed his delight at the arrival of Ofosu.

“With Reagy, we get creative, fast attacker in the house that is used primarily on the left side, but also on the right or shadow striker from the feet.”

Ofosu joins in the selection training camp in Garderen later in the week.

He could likely be partnered up-front by another Ghanaian, with Quincy Owusu Abeyie, inches away from a professional contract.

Weed Out Fake Men of God

The Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council (GPCC) has called on the government to engage legally registered Christian Ecumenical Bodies to weed out all so-called men-of-God whose behaviors are dragging the name of Christianity into the mud.

That, the council believed, would help sanitize the system without curtailing the freedom to worship as enshrined in Ghana’s constitution.

Failure to do so, the council feared, would have far reaching consequences on Ghanaians, citing several examples of incidents in the past where so-called men-of-God led many people astray.

In a press statement issued and signed by the National Executive Council (NEC) of GPCC, it also called on the National Media Commission to speed up the passage of the religious broadcasting bill into law to regulate religious exercises.

“We call on all media houses, especially the electronic ones, to lend their support in helping weed out these characters by not allowing financial considerations to override the general interest and safety of the public,” the statement added.

The 14 member NEC, including Apostle Dr. Opoku Onyinah, Apostle Dr. Stephen K. Amoani, Rev. Dr. Paul Frimpong Manso, Most Rev. Dr. Charles Agyin-Asare, Rt Rev Sam Korankye Ankrah, Rev. Clement Achebah, among others, assured all Ghanaians that GPCC would continue to lead the crusade to weed out all undesirable elements in the religious community.

“We are willing to provide mentoring support and guidance for all genuine ministers of the gospel willing to submit to the guiding authority of the Council to enhance the propagation of the true gospel of Jesus Christ,” the statement noted.

The council’s call comes at the backdrop of a video recording that went viral on various media of verbal attacks by Bishop Daniel Obinim on the person of Rev. Sam Koranklye Ankrah, the founder and Apostle-General of Royal House Chapel International.

The statement noted that the GPCC had no personal grudge against Bishop Obinim but was ready to stand up against anybody who under the guise of the name of Christ sought to take advantage of Ghanaians.

The Council therefore called on Christians to return to the Bible as their main reference point and standard for evaluating and confirming prophecies that were genuine.
