Mr. Richson Nii Teye Appeynarh, Chief Executive (DCE) of the newly created Ningo-Prampram District Assembly, has disclosed that from 1985 to date, HIV/AIDS has claimed the lives of seven million agricultural workers on the African continent alone.
He continued that it was estimated that the deadly disease could kill an additional 16 million farm workers in the next 20 years, if strong measures are not put in place to deal with the state of affairs.
He has, therefore, appealed to residents in the district to take advantage of the free volunteer services at all the health centers across the district, to know their HIV status, and also to live positively with our affected brothers and sisters.
"The Food and Agriculture Organisation's (FAO) annual report estimates that HIV/AIDS has killed seven (7) million agricultural workers/farmers in Africa since 1985, and could kill 16 million more in the next 20 years, if strong measures are not put in place to address the situation.
"Let us all try to know our HIV status and live positively with those affected. I will like to appeal to everybody to patronise the free volunteer service at all health centers in the District," he stated.
Mr. Appeynarh made the disclosure at the maiden District Farmers Day celebration of the Ningo-Prampram District Assembly to honour hard working farmers who have contributed, not only to the betterment of people in the area, but also the entire country.
Mr. Ebenezer Tettey Nartey from Mobole in the district was crowned the Overall Best Farmer. He took home a set of furniture, one knapsack sprayer, a pair of wellington boots, and two cutlasses.
Christiana Sackey, who won the Best Fish Farmer in the district, was awarded with a pair of wellington boots, a fish processor, two big bowls or basins, and one half piece of GTP Wax print.
The district farmer for vegetables, Mr. James Addotsu from Ahwiam, was presented with a knapsack sprayer, a pair of wellington boots and two cutlasses.
The rest of the award winners in the food crop, livestock, fisherman, aquaculture and fire volunteer squad categories, each received a pair of wellington boots, a ghetto blaster and two cutlasses.
Speaking at the function, the Ningo-Prampram DCE assured farmers in the district that his outfit was working very hard to ensure that they were connected to micro finance agencies to make credit facilities accessible to them.
"We will also ensure that agricultural inputs, which include chemicals, are accessible to farmers within the district. The youth in agriculture programme in the district would be given the needed support, and export crop production given the needed boost among other interventions in the agric sector," he explained.
Mr. Appeynarh expressed worry over the lack of appreciation for the use of weighing scales on Ghanaian markets, saying even though the weighing scale was a regular feature on the international market, it was yet to find its place on the Ghanaian market.
The Member of Parliament (MP) for the area, Enoch Teye Mensah, commended farmers for their continuous contribution towards the provision of food and fish for people in the area, and the country at large.
According to him, so far, two personalities from the area had won the overall national best farmer award.
He explained that a previous national best farmer in 1999, Mr. Joseph Mensah, originates from Ningo, although he lives and works in the Abura Dunkwa area in the Central Region.
The 2012 National Best Farmer, 38 years old Mr. Martey, who holds a degree in Agriculture Engineering, also hails from Prampram in the Ningo-Prampram District.
"Several other farmers from the constituency have also won awards at the regional and district levels of the best farmer competition.
"All what it means, ladies and gentlemen, is that farmers in the Ningo-Prampram area are simply too good," E. T. Mensah, who is also the Minister of Water Resources, Works and Housing observed.

AMBUSH Cures HIV/AIDS Sir / Madam, For the past 10 years of study of Ambush . a Palm plant extract that if effective in cureing HIV. Name of Plant; Palm Name of ingredient: Ambush Molecular weight 640 (similar to the sequisulfides) Where found: In and around the areas of South Florida where uranium waste was dumped in the 1920's from the nuclear programme that has now leaked out into the water system. A specie of the PALM plant has picked up this waste to be the valuable AMBUSH. Chemical compd; Uraium isotope (cus.n) Greyish white soft metalic compound NOT found in chemistry books. Uses: Antiviral DRUG..Ambush Found to "KILL" the HIV virus when given in a dose of 60 ml three times daily for 21 days at a known concentration. Mode of action.. Ambush kills the HIV virus by causing the viral shell to rupture . In the lymph system Ambush produces "natural radioactivity" that "kills" the virus that 'hides' in the lymph systen . This crosses the blood-brain barrier since the 'patients' claim that they are able to see,hear and think more clearly after taking Ambush. Viral Loads...This decreaces from 100,000 to 'undetectable' in 21 days..... but I have had patients VL go to 'undetectable ' in 5 days. SIDE EFFECTS / EFFECTS 1. After 5 to 7 days of treatment, patients MAY complain of HEADACHES. 2. After 5 to 7 days male patients experience an increase in erection. 3. Stool becomes soft and REGULAR 4. Patients c/o being WARM in the trunk area mainly at night when lying down. Toxicology......Before administering to any person a complete toxicological analysis was done to include, arsenic, barbiturates and NO KNOWN poisons or harmful substances to mankind were found. Systems/Organs Skin...becomes cleam, smooth and free of exema or other say they have small exema patches in the first week that go away by the third week. Excretion Since this is a very LARGE molecular it is excreted relatively unchanges via urine and feaces. SEROREVERSION After 149 days the patents revert to being HIV NEGATIVE after finishing a course in Ambush hence no one goes public to say they WERE HIV positive.
Pharmacology of Ambush on the GUT of an end stage AIDS person. It is known that late stage AIDS patients posess a high level of the virus in the GUT which should include the entire GI tract from stomach to rectum. Here the virus is found in the lining and this is difficult for ARV's because these are the areas needed by the ARV's to enter the blood supply. There is not a high enough blood level returning back to the stomach lining hence the virus remains in high concentration. This causes the person's apetite to decrease which causes a spiralling downhill of the body. When Ambush is taken in the liquid form, it is slightly basic and forms a stable compound in the acidic stomach.The Ambush compound is close to the stomach lining to exert the "natural radioactivity" effect which kills the virus in the stomach. Here the entire mid section feels very warm and sometimes feverish. The infected stomach lining with the dead areas is then passed out as a black slime in the stool. This usually happens about day 4 while on an Ambush regime of 60 ml three times daily for 21 days, wherin the person has a large bowel movement. After the bowel movement, the person becomes extremely hungry and eats TWO to THREE times a normal serving. Here I usually recomend cornmeal porridge with butter or cooking oil as a prevention against malnutrition and add a daily multivitamin. By day 10 the stomach has recovered and the person eats normally Since the person is able to eat well, then recovery to full health usually follows..
