on

Chantelle Kuukua Eghan, the mother of Ace-Liam Sam Ankrah, the youngest male painter recognised by Guinness World Records (GWR), has released a video showcasing the process of receiving and assembling her son’s official certificate.

Amidst the controversy surrounding Chef Smith’s disputed Guinness World Records cook-a-thon certification, Liam’s mother took to Instagram to demonstrate the proper procedure they followed to obtain their authentic certificate.

According to Liam’s mother, they received the certificate package via DHL delivery.

She described the package as meticulously sealed and containing several components: the frame, glass pieces, and the official Guinness World Records certificate itself, which was enveloped and sealed.

Emphasising the authenticity of their GWR certificate, Liam’s mother carefully assembled these components to create the framed certificate, proudly showcasing it online.

The video demonstration by Liam’s mother comes in response to widespread criticism and the clarification from Guinness World Records that they had no record of Chef Smith’s attempt.

Ace-Liam Nana Sam Ankrah achieved the title of the world’s youngest male artist at just 1 year and 152 days old.

The previous record holder, Dante Lamb, achieved this feat at the age of three in 2003.

Published

on

Minister MBA has released a new single titled “W’aseda” (My Thanks), a powerful song of gratitude to God for His miraculous healing. After being diagnosed with a life-threatening liver disease and seeking medical help at various hospitals, it was God’s intervention that brought complete healing to the gospel artist.

This personal experience inspired “W’aseda,” encouraging listeners to trust in God’s greatness and remain prayerful in difficult times.

The single comes in two versions—”W’aseda High Life” and “W’aseda Worship”—catering to different musical tastes but sharing the same message of thankfulness.

In addition to “W’aseda,” MBA’s seven-track EP includes “AYEYI NDWOM” featuring Harry Fiscian and “OHENE BEN” featuring Oheneba Clement, among others, all of which celebrate God’s providence and might.

Aside from his music, Minister MBA is also dedicated to his “Giving Back – Health Awareness and Advocacy” project, where he partners with health specialists to raise awareness about liver disease.

This initiative, influenced by his own healing, aims to reach people through outreach programmes in churches, fitness clubs, and marketplaces.

Additionally, MBA is preparing to launch the “Christ is for Peace” campaign to promote peace during Ghana’s upcoming elections, encouraging harmony before, during, and after the polls.

Minister Bernard Appiah is driven by a fervent passion to share the transformative message of Christ with others. Beyond his music ministry, he has embarked on a noble mission to reach the marginalized communities in the ghettos. With compassion and dedication, he seeks to:

– Rescue individuals trapped in drug addiction

– Guide them towards a path of redemption and restoration

– Introduce them to the liberating power of Jesus Christ

– And Empower them to embrace a new life of purpose and hope

Minister Bernard Appiah, known by his stage name MBA, is a Ghanaian gospel musician born in Cape Coast on April 9, 1995.

He developed a love for music from a young age, performing at family gatherings and church events.

Despite studying aviation at the Global School of Aviation, he followed his passion for music, becoming a worship leader.

His mentors include Elder Mireku, Uncle Ato, and Pastor Joe Beechem, whose ministries greatly influenced him.

This year (2024), MBA released his debut album, “M’aseda,” featuring collaborations with talented artists like Harry Fiscian and Oheneba Clement.

Alongside his music, he leads a group of believers focused on reaching busy professionals with the gospel through music and discipleship, and runs The MBA Rescue Foundation, which supports orphans, prisoners, and needy children with scholarships and hospital bill payments.
