The former Central Regional Chairman of the NDC, Allotey Jacobs, has admonished the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) to stop censuring President Nana Akufo-Addo over his decision to construct 88 district hospitals in the country. Addressing the nation in his 8th update on COVID-19, President Nana Akufo-Addo disclosed some deficiencies that needed attention in the health sector. He disclosed that the threat of COVID-19 has however aided the government to identify certain health needs that must be put in place to ensure the nation beefs up the health sector. "Just as the virus has disrupted our daily lives, it has also exposed the deficiencies of our healthcare system, because of years of under-investment and neglect. Whilst maternal, new-born, adolescent health and nutrition remain our top priorities, we must pay increased attention to chronic, noncommunicable diseases such as heart diseases, diabetes and asthma, which have proved to be the common risk factors

NUGS President  President of the National Union Of Ghana Students (NUGS),Mr.Isaac Jay Hyde has admitted on live TV that the Jubilee House gave him some money when he led a delegation there but the money was “transport money” not bribe, MyNewsGh.com reports. The NUGS President led leaders of student unions across the country to honour an invitation by the President to the Jubilee House on Friday, 24th April, 2020 where NUGS conferred “Global Icon” status on president Akufo-Addo for doing well in Covid-19 fight. Mr.Isaac who appeared on Pan-African TV monitored by MyNewsGh.com following backlash from some allied student groups admitted he took an amount of money from the presidency, but quickly clarified that “it was meant for transport”. According to him, however, the money did not influence the decision to praise Akufo-Addo as a global icon in the fight against Covid-19. He expressed regret that some student groups are accusing him of “accepting bribe” when it was “only tra

  Economist and Professor of Finance at the University of Ghana Business School has stated that government’s promise to construct 94 new hospitals within a year is impossible. Godfred Alufar Bokpin explained that the reeling effect of Covid-19 on the economy will make this the materialization of this plan very difficult. “Are we in the position to absorb such a massive cost? Particularly from one sector, health? During the pandemic, we were living from hand to mouth and whatever we were collecting by way of tax revenue was essentially just wages and interest payments,” he told Daniel Dadzie on Joy FM’s Super Morning Show, Monday. Prof. Bokpin added that with the “international capital market practically on hold, this is going to be very difficult.” President Nana Akufo-Addo in his 8th national address to the nation on measure his government is taking to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic said 88 district and 6 regional hospitals would be constructed within a year. But the Eco

Why is Kennedy Agyapong Exposing Only Pastors? The MP for Assin Central has been in a social media war with most of the pastors. Some of which includes; Obinim, Owusu Bempah, Rev. Obofour, Badu Kobi etc. According to Kennedy Agyapong, he is targeting pastors because they are destroying properties,religion and it’s making people so lazy. People rely on miracle and fake prophecies instead of working hard to achieve their aims of life. He further revealed that some pastors use their position to bully people for their precious properties,of which he gave instance of Obinim Gold saga and that of Badu Kobi outwitting a female church member for her cars in the name of deliverance. Watch the video below of Hon. Kennedy Agyapong’s submission

OBRAFOUR SNUBBED ME WHEN I CONTACTED HIM – SARKODIE Michael Owusu Addo Arguably, Africa’s best rapper,  Sarkodie has revealed how his dream to have a feature with veteran hiplife musician, Obrafour didn’t materialize some years ago. Being interview on the Dentaa Show which was monitored by Zionfelix.net, Sarkodie divulged Obrafour didn’t give him the green light when he contacted him as an up and coming musician. He recounted using her grandmother’s phone to call Obrafour after he took his number from his niece Ama who he was schooling with at the Achimota Preparatory School. The Sarkcess music boss said Obrafour asked his name when he answered the call and he mentioned his name which is not the name he is using now Sarkodie. According to Sarkodie, he was using a very funny name that he could not recall during this interview. He stated that Obrafour told him he was travelling and he would get in touch with him when he comes back but it didn’t happen. He indicated th

SCAMMERS ON THE RISE : Exposé on Worldremit and Wave fraudsters marketing on TV stations. I am by this article going to expose you to some of the scams A new wave of cyber crime has revolutionalised into an acceptable phenomenon to the extend of taken over 60% of Ghana free-to-air TV channels and no body is talking about it. This is worthy its longness.  1. Money Doubling Phenomenon of Mallams The money doubling phenomenon of Mallams  lacks evidence but a separate investigation and consultations are ongoing, hence many people have fallen as victims. Please don't try, it is a scam. 2. Social Media Category Let's start with their social media marketing style. It always appears like this:    WAVE TRANSACTIONS 300gh - 1500gh 400gh - 2000gh 500gh - 2500gh 600gh - 3000gh Same for those who brand their scamming method as Worldremit.

A Global Health Expert has predicted an increase in Ghana’s coronavirus cases after President Akufo-Addo lifted a three-week partial lockdown which was put in place to curb the spread of the disease. Dr John Amuasi, who is a lecturer at the Global Health Department of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), says President Akufo-Addo’s decision is a mistake because the country does not have the kind of data needed to be able to measure an infection rate. Speaking on Joy FM’s Super Morning Show, Dr Amuasi, who is also with the KNUST Centre for Collaborative Research said “there surely, based on the decision we have taken, will be more cases of coronavirus and coronavirus is going to spread faster. “What I cannot determine is what the impact of that spreading or increase in infection will be,” he added. President Akufo-Addo in his 7th address to the nation since the outbreak of the coronavirus, announced the lifting of a partial lockdown that affected Acc

There are many stories out there of entrepreneurs having the famous ‘aha!’ moment when they finally realise how to solve a big problem, or what their successful product will be, or any other pivotal decision that arrives as if by magic. These intuitions have been studied by psychologists and it appears there may be reason to trust these epiphanies after all. Our minds are constantly seeking to recognise patterns and we do this consciously when we analyse data and recollect information. Our mind is also doing this on a subconscious level with a much wider range of information which is not currently even on our mind yet our brain is still able to access it. It is this subconscious level of pattern recognition that researchers believe is responsible for these eureka moments. This doesn’t mean that every idea that pops in to your head is a good idea of course. It is vital that you gain experience and absorb information for your mind to work with and to create connections within, oth

@Kwaku Asante-Bismark,a UG Student and Broadcast Journalist/Producer at Radio Univers 105.7FM T he class is at 9:30 am and I’d be up by 8 am to prep. But, I was very tired the night before and even though I had alarms on, I woke up at 9:10am. The interesting thing was I had a group presentation that morning so I had to be early. I dashed into the washroom and cleaned up. It was a Human Rights class on a Friday morning. I went in, did our presentation with other colleagues – Cindy and Kojo, two new friends I had by virtue of that group. I knew we had aced the presentation but I didn’t know that was potentially going to be the last class or last time to set foot in JQB as a ‘student’ of the University of Ghana (UG). I had plans for the semester, I wanted to blog all my experiences and live life well. I live with the regrets of not living the last moments of SHS properly; occasionally I get flashbacks and they are enough to get me emotional. I have once jokingly said that maybe

Rapper Sarkodie has told Dentaa Amoateng on the Dentaa Show that he’s ready to call a truce and smoke the peace pipe with his former buddy Shatta Wale only if it can be done privately with no cameras around.  The feud between the pair was reignited after Sarkodie dropped his Subzero song- a track which was interpreted as a diss song to Shatta Wale, Ball J and Asem. ‘Subzero’ plunged social media into a state of excitement as pundits and music lovers dissected the message in the song. Shatta Wale shot back with verbal attacks on his traditional Facebook Live platform, which further deteriorated their relationship. However, Sarkodie suggested he has nothing personal against the Dancehall act and will make peace with him. “I don’t do the showbiz thing. I will be willing to settle our differences if it is not for the cameras. I will settle things with Shatta Wale if only it is real, ” the rapper told Dentaa.

David Quaye,UG POSSA President  Though times they say do not last; the truth of the matte r however is that, tough times may last or otherwise based on the concerted efforts in place to address the circumstance at hand. Again conventional wisdom has it that, when you see your neighbor's beard in flames, you donot sit aloof; instead, you fetch water next to your beard to deal with any possible fire that may attempt to burn yours. In the wake of this deadly pandemic (COVID-19) crippling human existence, it’s rather sad to note how Ghana is treating the issue. While other countries were putting in place sophisticated measures to counter and contain the extent of the spread, no proper alternatives were premeditated to tackle this global pandemic should we be hit in Ghana. Despite countries placing ban on travels, our borders were heavens gate as we kept importing cases. Away from our tortoise-paced efforts to deal with the catastrophe, there has been a hike in the number o

Ken Ofori-Atta: ‘What does an African finance minister do now?’ It’s 5am and I stir. My stomach feels cramped. I have slept no more than four hours. My mind races. The problems cascade through. I hear the birds and do my meditation. My wife Angie and I are in the middle of an Easter study on the Book of Daniel, and I can’t help but think of the writing on the wall: “mene mene tekel upharsin.” Have we been weighed and found wanting? But I am optimistic there will be a few who will stand up and become modern-day martyrs, not only to defeat this pandemic but to create a new era. On our minds is the question of surgical and N95 masks for healthcare professionals. I make two calls to China to speak to our ambassador about ventilators, and another to Israel to a fellow from the Aspen Global Leadership Network about face masks, gloves and other forms of protection, and discuss a charter of a plane to bring these items to Ghana. Then a follow-up call to Vera Songwe, head of the UN Ec
