On Sunday, November 12, 2023, at around 7:20 am, an earth tremor hit parts of Accra, Ghana. The tremor lasted for a few seconds and sent residents into a panic, with many running out of their homes around Weija, a suburb of Accra. Residents around Mallam, Gbawe, SCC, and Bortianor also reported experiencing the tremor.

There are no reports of any injuries or damage to property. However, several people who experienced the tremor took to social media to share their experience. Some people described feeling their buildings shaking, while others said they heard a loud rumbling noise.

The Ghana Geological Survey Authority (GGSA) has confirmed that the tremor was caused by a small earthquake that occurred about 10 kilometers southeast of Accra. The earthquake had a magnitude of 2.5 on the Richter scale.

Earth tremors are common in Ghana, as the country lies on a fault line. However, tremors of this magnitude are relatively rare.

Social Media Reacts to Accra Earth Tremor

Several people who experienced the earth tremor took to social media to share their experience. Here are some of the reactions:

Rev. Isaac Owusu Bempah, the leader of Glorious Word and Power Ministry, has prophesied that former President John Mahama will be elected President of Ghana again in the 2024 general elections. This is in a direct reversal of his earlier prophecy in 2019 that Mahama would never be President again.

In a recent interview with Paul Adom-Otchere on Good Evening Ghana, Owusu Bempah explained that God had had a change of mind about Mahama’s political career. He said that Mahama had repented of his sins and had sought God’s forgiveness, and that God had forgiven him and restored him to favor.

“God has had a change of mind about John Mahama,” Owusu Bempah said. “He has repented of his sins and sought God’s forgiveness, and God has forgiven him and restored him to favor. Mahama will be President again in 2024.”

Owusu Bempah’s prophecy has come as a surprise to many, especially those who remember his earlier prophecy that Mahama would never be President again. However, Owusu Bempah has insisted that his new prophecy is accurate and that Mahama will indeed be elected President in 2024.

“I am not a politician,” Owusu Bempah said. “I am a prophet of God. I speak what God tells me to speak. God has told me that John Mahama will be President again in 2024, and that is what I am saying.”

It remains to be seen whether Owusu Bempah’s prophecy will come true. However, his prophecy has certainly generated a lot of interest and discussion in Ghana. It will be interesting to see how the 2024 general elections play out and whether Mahama will indeed be elected President again.

Owusu Bempah’s prophecy is a significant one, given his reputation as a prophet in Ghana. His prophecies have come true in the past, and he is widely respected by many Ghanaians. If his prophecy that Mahama will be President again comes true, it would be a major victory for the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

However, it is important to note that Owusu Bempah’s prophecy is not universally accepted. Some people believe that his prophecies are politically motivated, and that he is using his platform to promote the NDC. Others believe that his prophecies are simply wrong.

Only time will tell whether Owusu Bempah’s prophecy that Mahama will be President again will come true. However, his prophecy is sure to generate a lot of debate and discussion in Ghana in the coming months.

You have till November 11 to apologise to Samira Bawumia – NMC warns Power FM :The National Media Commission (NMC) has demanded an apology from the management of Authentic Media Company Limited, the company that runs Power FM, to Samira Bawumia, the wife of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the vice president and flagbearer of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP).

“You permitted your station, Power FM, to be utilized as a platform for a gender-based slander against H.E. Hajia Samira Bawumia on Wednesday, November 1, 2023. This perverted and debased broadcast also aimed to instigate ethnic strife and disparage the whole Fulani Community in Ghana. Such behavior has no place in our pursuit of national unity, peace, and prosperity, the NMC stated in a letter signed by its Executive Secretary, George Sarpong, and addressed to the media outlet’s CEO.

“Your presenter’s phoney protestation was unprofessional and deceptively calculated to egg the commentator on,” the NMC noted. Your presentation shifted from being a moderator to an advocate for vulgarity.

We kindly request your apology to the Fulani Community and H.E. Hajia Samira Bawumia. The NMC emphasized, “We also ask that you extend your apology to the Ghanaian people whose sensibilities you offended with that broadcast.”

“Present evidence of same to the Commission before November 11, 2023, after which date you may hear further from the Commission,” is what the NMC is requesting of the media firm.

Professor Ransford Gyampo, a political science lecturer at the University of Ghana, has requested that the Electoral Commission (EC) announce election results in a straightforward and correct manner.

This comes after Dr. Serebour Quiacoo, the Director of Elections, made a mistake on Saturday, November 4, 2023, when announcing the results of the New Patriotic Party’s presidential primary.

The flagbearer-elect, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, was given the wrong percentage of 91% by Dr. Quaicoo, rather than the accurate 61%.

Additionally, he withheld the percentages received by the other contenders, revealing just Dr. Bawumia’s.

In a statement released on Sunday, Prof. Gyampo said: “Dr. Serebour Quiacoo handled yesterday’s Electoral Commission announcement of the results of the NPP flagbearer elections very poorly and shoddily. Even a basic computation and declaration of all the candidate percentages was beyond his capabilities. The EC needs to be transparent about the percentage of votes each candidate received. This can’t be left up to personal calculations.

“I’m still not sure why the Electoral Commission made mathematical errors when announcing the results. Is it not possible for the EC to declare results accurately? When they announced the election results in 2020, they made corrections more than five times. They reported 91% instead of 61% yesterday as well. Additionally, they were unable to provide a straightforward calculation of the remaining candidates’ percentages of votes. This never happened before.

Prof. Gyampo underlined once more that the public’s faith in the Commission is not bolstered by the EC’s persistent mathematical blunders.

“Aren’t institutions supposed to strive for continuous improvement? “Why should the EC Director of Elections tremble to the point of making mistakes just because very mortal party people are present?” he asked.

Thus, the political science lecturer urged organizations to rise above the shortcomings of individuals and pursue excellence.

What is the source of the ECs Mathematical Challenges in Declaring Results? Prof Gyampo Quizzes

Or “I don’t understand the mathematical challenges of the EC in declaring results”

I still do not understand the causes of the mathematical mistakes of the Electoral Commission in declaring results. Can’t the EC be accurate in the declaration of results? The last time in 2020, they corrected themselves more than 5 times in declaring the election results.

Yesterday too, they announced 91% instead of 61%. They could also not do a simple computation of percentages of votes for the rest of the candidates. This is unprecedented.

The sudden plague of mathematical challenges on the part of the EC doesn’t auger well for the quest to build public confidence in the Commission.

Yesterday, the whole announcement of the results of the NPP flag bearer elections by the Electoral Commission, was poorly and shoddily done by Dr. Serebour Quiacoo.

He couldn’t even do a simple computation and announcement of all the percentages for the candidates.

The EC must be clear in telling all about the percentage of votes garnered by all aspirants. This cannot be left to individual computations.

Can’t institutions work to perfect themselves over time? Why should the mere presence of very mortal party human beings make the EC Director of Elections shiver to the point of making mistakes?

Institutions must transcend individuals!
