Since the re-start of multi party democracy in Ghana nearly 20 years ago, various governments continue to boast of huge investments in education. The current government for instance is working hard to improve the quality of education infrastructure, especially in the rural parts of the Ghana where there are schools under trees. However, the case of pupils of Aputuegya in the Bosumtwi District of the Ashanti Region is different; they have a class room but cannot study in the classroom. The pupils, on a daily routine carry their chairs from other class rooms to study under a shed-like structure made from trees. The Students have to endure this for a long time, simply because their newly constructed class rooms have not been commissioned. The school was constructed about a year ago but has since not been handed to the school for use Aputuegya D/A primary school is about 3 kilometers from the Bosumtwi district capital, Kuntunase and about 4 kilometers from Kumasi the regional c...

Few months ago I wrote about Gays and religion, this is the second write up about the same subject. Christians expose their hypocrisy and naivety when they take to a radical opposition to the rights of gays. Many Christians, Muslims, the so-called defenders of the faith and of the traditional African values system have skeletons in their cupboards. Like most people they look kindly on their personal shortcomings and perverse behavior when under the cover of darkness but in the open they are vociferous in their condemnation of what they consider as abominable behavior in others.What happened to the Christian principles of charity and compassion? They forget that to obtain God's forgiveness and mercy they ought to be able to forgive everyone who "wrongs" them, steps on their toes or rub them the wrong way and be merciful in their dealings with their fellow humans.  What do these people think of the Christian faith commandment to "love your neighbor ...

i have always believe and even told my colleague Christians that Muslims way of worshiping  in the mosque and dressing is the best. Even though christian also have a good of dressing and worshiping, but some have veered off. To tell me Jesus is not the son of God. you must be joking! For some days now, there has been a debate by some muslim friends about who Jesus is, i did a little research and i believe this will help them. But before that ; I always tell my Muslim friends that, much as they think they are on the right path, so do we Christians also believe we are on the right path. Just as you may think you have reasons to prove that Christianity is fake, much in the same way, we Christia ns also have strong reasons to prove Islam is fake too. For peace to reign, keep your prove, and let me keep mine. And let the judgment day be the judge. Facebook and other social network platforms are not the place to prove who is on the wrong or right path. For such will only result...

First of all, congratulations to all the winners of the Ghana Journalists Association awards. Some of you do great work in spite of the challenges you face daily. Well done! I couldn’t watch the awards show on Saturday night, but I’m told I didn’t miss much. My friend Kwame Gyan described it as the “worst planned and executed” with “shambolic emceeing.” The gala is the GJA’s biggest and only event. All the executives do every year is to wait around for the award date to come to remind journalists they’ve been working. Twitter comments indicate that Saturday night was like most of the major awards ceremonies in Ghana. It had the tedious speeches, dreadful musical interludes and ill-defined categories. I hear the Minister of Communications gave his speech at 1am on Sunday morning. Basically the people who organize the porn awards do a better job than the GJA. This is no surprise to me. How can the executives of the GJA get the awards ceremony right when they cannot per...

A popular Ghana National football player Baffour Gyan has been arrested by the police for assaulting a journalist with Ghana’s leading news paper, graphic. Baffour Gyan is the brother of Ghana’s black star Captain Asamoah Gyan. The reporter, Daniel Kenu, at a press conference few days ago in Kumasi asked Asamoah Agyan if the rumor about him using his friend for rituals is really true. One of Ghana’s popular Musician Theophilus Tagoe popularly called Castro and a female friend went missing at a resort on 6 July 2014 in Ada, in greater Accra Region of Ghana. Castro and Black Stars captain, Asamoah Gyan were at Aqua Safari, a beach resort for recreation when Castro and one Janet Bandu fell off their jet ski and got drown in the Ada river, the body of the two have since not been found.
