In recent days, the presence of the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in Ghana, collaborating with local authorities to facilitate the extradition of Ghanaian citizens implicated in romance scams, money laundering, and related crimes, has sparked debate.

When it comes to what subjects I write on in my column, it is often as the spirit moves me, always with the understanding that I am not the type of person to write on Ian Smith and Rhodesia on the day that three former heads of state are executed in Ghana. Sometimes I do […]
THE WAVE OF LOVE Days begin with whirlwinds With clouds of thoughts Dazed minds bow to emotions Like butterfly wings, eyelashes Flap and flop to gliding torrents of relief While throbs aroused by Cupid’s arrow Turn to musical notes of drumming And sobs sing vocals of a caged heart. I am enigma I […]
“When the last tree dies the last man dies”; this is a saying used to encourage afforestation and the protection of trees, especially the endangered ones. However, its meaning and relevance are largely ignored, because of destructive human activities, such as illegal gold mining, poor farming practices, deforestation, bush burning, and over-exploitation from logging and […]
Somber Reflections by Rev. Dr. Camillo Abatanie Bonsuuri Do not be alarmed by the heading. I just wanted your attention. There is not going to be any by-election in Nanumba North or Nanumba South, insha Allah. The two by-elections (Kumawu and Assin North) are more than enough for our dear country.

Somber Reflections by Fr. A. B.C. PREAMBLE: From 25th to 30th April, 2022, the Association of Catholic Heads of Higher Institutions (ACHHI) held her National Conference in Navrongo.

Considering the monumental responsibilities/tasks undertaken by the First and Second Ladies in support of the Government, clearly, it can be perfectly argued and established that, indeed, our First and Second Ladies deserve some form of benefits from the State. We all appreciate the immense role of the 31st December Women’s Movement under the leadership of […]
The heartbeat of Ghana is its Political and Religious arena. And the mood in Accra and beyond has been jittery since the turn of the year despite the people’s unison in tackling the global pandemic, Covid 19. Whispers of the second and final tenure of the sitting President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo pricks people in […]
The natural jealousy of women can never be hidden when in a relationship. Which woman on the face of this earth would humbly hide herself from the general public simply because her husband is the Vice-President of a country? Which first wife would gladly accept the fact that her rival should take her shine and […]
In the Old Testament tradition, normally the firstborn son was the one who received a double inheritance, and was the one who would inherit his father’s role as head. However, it is important to note that, God sometimes changes the tradition and rules of the Game, that is, the normal order most at times reversed […]
According to David Patterson and David Killingray (The Influenza epidemic of 1918-19 in the Gold Coast, and The New Imperial Disease: The Influenza Pandemic of 1918-1919 and its impact on the British Empire”) the Gold Coast was totally unprepared for the influenza epidemic.

I begrudgingly watched snippets of Mahama’s stand up show on Facebook last night and I’m amazed in the shallowness of the man in not getting his thoughts together.
