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.

Given that some people have honored the Social Distance Protocols in breach, there is the fear that there may be further spread of the disease, in a manner that may accentuate calls for and actual total lockdown.

In January 2013, when President John Mahama delivered his first address as President of Ghana, he exuded much confidence and promise—I believe Ghanaians did, too because he (the President) and his charges promised a new kind of governance that promised to change the fortunes of the country.

Our elders say ‘if you close your eyes to facts, you will learn through accidents.’ I’m wondering, what happens after road traffic crashes occur here in Ghana? Are we awoken to the mess created or we keep our eyes shut? It happened again, yet another road crash! I picked up my phone on Monday only […]
Attention: Hon. Martin Alamisi Burnes Kaiser Amidu Dear Sir, I am your admirer, and I admire you for the simple reason that your gut precede your fame. Indeed, my admiration for you goes back to the days when you singlehandedly took on the status quo under the Mills’ regime. You left government on a […]
Documents emanating from the UK Serious Fraud Office(SFO) and the Deferred Prosecution Judgement(DPA) have mentioned Ghana in a damning verdict. We are reading that Airbus has agreed to pay €3.6bn in penalties to regulators in France, UK, and US for paying bribes to do business in several countries, including Ghana.
