“The one who urinates in a stream should be warned because any of his relatives may drink from the water.” – Nigerian proverb

Early Detection of Fibroid in Ghana Based on a New Gene Mutation

While data on the prevalence rate of fibroid is not readily available, a cursory assessment of the rate of discussions on the issue in the media suggests there are significantly high levels in Ghana.

Fifi Kwetey and NDC must challenge Dr. Bawumia on facts and not insults

The fact that the person is your political opponent does not mean you should heap insults on him or her at any opportunity you get.

An opportunity the Rawlingses have missed

It is even rumored that the Ahwois convinced the former president that Atta Mills was a Ga and this allowed them easy access to the former president. Now all these wonderful ideals of probity and accountability milled by the former president have been thrown to the winds and chop chop is the order of the day.

The Price of Hate Speech – Ghana

We wish both the Government and the NDC (G & NDC) would learn to differentiate among diversionary tactics, distractions, impediments, provocation, desperation and frustration

President Mills Should Boycott The Presidential Debate

President Mills has to go on more campaign tours to speak to Ghanaians. Jean Mensa and her IEA can let wanna-be presidents like Akufo-Addo and others debate against each other.

Is Tribalism Enough?

A little background check on both NDC and NPP will indicate that these parties originated from violence and enjoy their support base by raising unfounded tribal fears and prejudices.

Biometric Violence: Okyenhene, Asantehene, others must intervene

In as much as we would want to view these violent attacks at Odododiodio and elsewhere as pocket ones, we should also be mindful of its possible escalation which can easily plunge the whole country into chaos.

Ken Agyapong to sink Akufo-Addo in 2012 Elections

This statement by Kennedy Agyapong should not have taken more than two hours for any serious minded person who is running for the highest office in Ghana to come out to condemn it, and also distance himself from it.

A.M.A. Please remove this looming danger at Flower Pot now!!

A.M.A., your powerless, ubiquitous, red paint ordering its removal won’t do. Have this ugly, leviathan of a billboard removed immediately by its owners or do so yourself. Or should we do it for you?

You and Your Health

The best we can do for ourselves is to train more doctors ourselves to solve our problems for us. When will we wean ourselves off help, and help ourselves?

The Enlightenment and the Ghana Culture Day

At best, the African Personality concept is shallow, Ghanaian/African inhibitive values are still serious development challenges.

Kennedy Agyapong would walk free

It is my firm believe that Hon. Kennedy Agyapong would walk a free man if he is charged for a supposedly treasonable offence of declaring war.

Train and Equip National Service Personnel Entrepreneurially

The only thing that has made Americans different from us is how they are taught to create wealth for themselves and their country while we are taught to rely on the government for jobs.

Kennedy Agyepong’s Political Rhetoric Is Perilous to Ghana’s Peace and Stability!!

What Ghana needs is not strong men who would plunge our nation into any precarious endeavour, Ghana needs men who will generate excitement, hope, prosperity, a sense of purpose and dignity; men who would serve as the beacon of decency and decorum for the youth of this country.

Africa Union barks at Mali coup d’état (part 2)

What we all need on the continent of Africa today is peace and prosperity which is not the same as forcing financial gangsters on the masses in the name of African Union democracy.

Parliament must investigate disbursement of Govt Scholarships

I would like to state categorically that the award Ghana Government Scholarships have been fraudulent, and I am calling on the august house of parliament to set up a non-partisan committee to investigate the award of GETFund scholarships covering the last 11 years

Editorial: Sanity Must Prevail

The recently inaugurated George Walker Bush Highway is a typical example of the good things Ghanaians are enjoying for choosing the path of peace and democracy.

A solution to the politics of insults and violence

Calling for God’s intervention obviously is the right thing to do when danger seems to be on the horizon. However, in this particular situation it appears the solution is in our own hands.

Mills & the Woyome opportunity!

The gargantuan amounts involved in judgment debts aside, the sustained newsworthiness of the Woyome affair through acts of omission and commission by various stakeholders of diverse motivations, ostensibly lends credence to how generally scandal-starved the Mills administration appears to have been over three years.

Bounded Freedom a test case for Free Speech

I am not holding brief for people who make unsubstantiated pronouncements or supporting the recklessness on our airwaves for that matter. Far from that. Indeed I believe as many Ghanaians do that, freedom of speech comes with responsibilities and that people who have the opportunity to speak and write in the media ought to do so in decorum. But I do not think the use of criminal sanctions as punishment for bad commentary on our airwaves does our nascent democracy any good. Doing so only lead us into a suffocated atmosphere where the twin evil of suppression and repression reigns.
