Pastor cautions youth against denigrating statements on social media

**Apostle Kofi Nkansah-Sarkodie Advises Youth on Social Media Conduct**

Apostle Kofi Nkansah-Sarkodie leads the Open Arms Ministry. He recently addressed the youth about their language on social media. He urged them to stop using foul language against statesmen and others. This behavior is not part of Ghanaian culture or upbringing.

During a press conference in Kumasi, he highlighted a recent insulting post. The post targeted Muslims, the NDC government, and Ghanaians after President Mahama's announcement for a new Hajj Village. Saint Sark emphasized that such insults are "not Ghanaian."

He stated that being rude does not make one a hero or true Ghanaian. The commandment to "honor your father and mother" applies to all adults, not just biological parents.

Saint Sark called the incident unfortunate and regrettable. He appealed for forgiveness from those offended, especially the Islamic community and Chief Imam. He warned perpetrators to stop such conduct for their own good.

He also discussed the banking sector clean-up and collapsed banks. He urged the Bank of Ghana and President Mahama to restore licenses quickly. The disadvantages of banking reforms outweigh their advantages.

Saint Sark praised the 2025 Budget Statement as one of the best ever. He noted that public reaction indicated its acceptance. He advised critics from the NPP to be honest with themselves and their followers.

Regarding hidden shipping containers found by National Security operatives, he demanded transparency. Authorities should disclose how much money was discovered in those containers to clear public doubts.
