“If you’ll hold on to me for dear life,” says GOD, “I’ll get you out of any trouble. I’ll give you the best of care if you’ll only get to know and trust me. Call me and I’ll answer, be at your side in bad times; I’ll rescue you, then throw you a party. I’ll give you a long life, give you a long drink of salvation!” - Psalms 91:14-16 The Message (MSG)

These verses epitomise what occurred on Sunday, April 23, 2023, as family, friends and loved ones joined Madam Kate Ribeiro aka Auntie Kate, to celebrate her 80th birthday.

Indeed it was a very joyous occasion and Auntie Kate couldn't hide her joy as she danced and danced in appreciation of God's goodness to her. We wish her more years in good health and prosperity.

I counted more than 50 fascinating fascinators, which was part of the dress code for ladies attending Georgina Kessewa Nyamekye's 50th Birthday Dinner dubbed "50 shades of fabulous".

I saw the men present also resplendent in their Black Suits, with White Shirts and Black Bow Ties - That was also the prescribed attire for all invited men. The date was Sunday, March 12, 2023, the venue, Legendary Capital Events at Dansoman, Accra and the atmosphere was alluring.

So picture ladies in their long coloured dinner dresses with the men in their all black suits/tuxedos sitting around carefully arranged and decorated tables and you would vividly see the ambience at the venue.

And oo, at both ends of the hall were a live band and backdrop, as well as food and drinks. The smiling faces of the guests showed that they were ready to have a good time while celebrating Gina, a selfless person who has touched many lives.

Well, yours truly #Edmages was able to capture some images for your viewing pleasure. Let's see who were there.

So on the day that Ghana celebrated her 66th Independence Day Anniversary, the Heavens came down in worship at the ICGC's Christ Temple at Abossey Okai.

You can call it the divine celebration of Ps Georgina Kessewa Nyamekye's (Mama Gee) 50th birthday. She chose to celebrate her day with friends and loved ones, just offering worship to the Most High God for all His goodness shown to her in her five decades on earth.

Indeed it was a time of refreshing and the atmosphere was charged with praises and worship led by renowned men and women of worship to the Almighty God. It is little wonder that after the worship the rains came down at dawn the following day, Tuesday, March 7, 2023.

Well, #Edmages was able to capture some spirit-filled images at the worship celebration and shares a couple of them.

Last Tuesday was observed globally as St. Valentine's Day, a day to express love to all. Ghana, however, has since 2005 commemorated the day as a National Chocolate Day to drive the consumption of more cocoa products in the country.

Ghana, although currently the second largest cocoa producer consumes very little of the product. Did you offer any loved or receive a bar of chocolate from a friend on February 14, 2013? Share your experience with us. 

Well #Edmages captured some chocolatey dressed ladies and gentleman on February 14, 2023 when Ghana celebrated yet another chocolate day on the theme "Eat chocolate, stay healthy, grow Ghana" and serves you some hot chocolate.

Editor of the Graphic Sports and multi award winner, Maurice Quansah, last Friday, January 20, 2023, climbed the 5th ladder of life and what a way to welcome him to the 5th floor.

Some few friends joined him in the evening to mark the momentous day with some drinks, food and music, and the roving lenses of #Edmages were able to capture some of the exciting scenes.
