Christmas is an elated elite fest which is celebrated by most Christians all over the world to remember the glorious birth of Jesus Christ. This symbolic poignant event which comes on December 25th of every year, to mark the birth, love, and the legacies of our Lord Jesus Christ who came to save the world from the misery of sin. Christmas is a season for; remission of Sins, rejuvenation of family tires, Love, forgiveness, and a season where goodies are shared to the poor to also feel the hope and promises that Jesus Christ brought to the world, however Christmas has been misunderstood because of diminutive knowledge by most Christians which is worrying and it calls for collective concern.  The birth of Jesus Christ is a foundation upon which Christianity was originated and must be celebrated with aftmost care so that the purpose upon which JESUS Christ came will not be in vain. 21st century Christmas season sobers my mind making me incredulous of the kind of activities the

  Opoku Ware ll is one of the greatest personalities in Ghana's checkered history especially in the history of the Ashanti Kingdom. It is therefore no surprise that schools and halls including one of the most popular halls at the University of Education Winneba-Kumasi campus are affiliated to the name.  The Opoku Ware Hall of the University of Winneba Kumasi campus has had several different student leaders since its establishment. As an Owarian who stays at the hall, I have some ideas I would like to share with the general house. I have captioned them; " The four expectations of the incoming Opoku Ware Hall President"   The first expectation has to do  with proactive leadership. The incoming president should be on top of issues concerning the hall, plan all activities before their implementation. Why am I saying so, since I joined this noble hall, there were times we have had to live without water supply. So the incoming president should know this and never

The Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) has made yet another piece of Pan African Universities Debate Championship History. The win against 13 other African countries was their second final triumph in a row in the competition – making them the first university in West Africa to do so on more than one occasion. Since the inception of the tournament in 2008, only the University of Cape Town, South Africa had won two in a row; won in 2012 and 2013. The Pan African Universities Debate Championships is the biggest African inter-varsity debate tournament held every year. Ghanaian universities first participated in the PAUDC in 2012 with KNUST and the University of Ghana being the representatives from Ghana. The PAUDC takes the British Parliamentary (BP) style made up of 4 teams of 2, with 2 teams supporting a motion, and 2 teams opposing. Debating teams are independent and compete with each other. This year’s edition saw only three institutions from Ghana,

The National Identification Authority (NIA) was set up in 2003 under the Office of the President with the mandate to issue national ID cards and manage the National Identification System (NIS). This resulted in the passing of the NIA Act, 2006 (Act 707) to give it the necessary legal premises on which to operate. In consonance with that the government under H.E Nana Addo has brought a loud applause policy to bring more than 30million Ghanaians under one database with one unique ID which will recognize you as a Ghanaian anywhere you are in the world, notwithstanding your sex and complexion, and NIA started its mass registration on 29th April, 2019. With the importance tag  to it, Ghanaians from all works of life are patronising it whole hearted, and the upper west region which has just ended with hers' is no exception despite the fact that there were some few challenges from machine errors to officials inhumane activities. Some machine challenges were as the result of p

Many assume they are in love whereas it may just be an infatuation, a one-sided feeling, or just close friendship. When one acts on these romantic and sexual emotions impulsively and without according it sufficient time, it may lead to disappointment and broken hearts. True love includes respect, admiration, care, and never subjecting your partner to hurt, humiliation or any form of abuse. True love may be the kind of love that many chase after or desire, but is as elusive as a butterfly. It takes time to bloom. Many find it and are rewarded with happiness. The following are some of the signs of true love in a perfect romance (Ref. E. Arthur-“12 Signs of True Love in a Relationship”): √ Give and take in love. You give to the relationship unconditionally without expecting something back from your partner. √  Pure happiness.

He claims to be born on 25th march, 1995, even though he has no actual knowledge of the day he left his mothers womb. Many are vulnerable to this conjecturing of marrying dates to themselves. In fact, the Sissala land is no exception as it is unfortunate to have about 80% of her people being illiterates and cannot even read nor write. Sequel to this, they cannot record dates of birth of their children. Gone are the days, as it is still the status quo, that in many villages of the Sissala land when a new baby is born their parents will use the season of the year, the death of someone, a festival time etc. as the reference dates to determine the birth date of their child. The case of Wisi Chong exemplifies this narrative. Wisi Chong escaped his mother's womb somewhere in the year 1995. And typical of most traditional homes, his parents birthed many children. Out of 10, 3 passed away with 7 of them still battling with life as hard as they can, only to exist. Wisi Chong is the 4th

While other women look out for tick tall, handsome and six packs men others look for industrious hardworking men with promising future, What do you also look out for in men for marriage? Save your breath, the choice of some women has landed them into many unending tears in life, if there was a second chance in life  they would have thanked GOD hundred and plus one percent times, and the choice of others has brought to them glorifying life that keeps and will keep them happy till time seizes. The likes of some women are the like of Satan they never see good in any man without money and fame, putting love on chains which will rarely break out in relationships or marriages, what a contemporary world full of deceptions and lies like game of thrones.  Dicey of this has brought a lot of divorces in marriages and separation of relationships among lads and young ladies due marriage, this is worrying especially among marriages because when separation(broken home) happen in marriages is

Poultry farming is one of the viable undertaking in the agricultural sector whose returns have been enormous  and farmers must attach seriousness just like other agricultural activities. It's however quite saddening at the low interest that is expressed by agriculturist in the sissala east municipality.  The population of the municipality has experienced an astronomical increment and, doesn't befit the paltry number of poultry farms within the municipality. As we strive to educate ourselves,  we should not build knowledge in  in silos that will limit us in achieving greatness.  The facts on grounds have now justified that the theoretically based curriculum of our country has incapacitated many graduates the very day they graduate from their respective institutions and rendering them unemployed from the first day of graduation. It's there fore against this backdrop that we must prioritize the practical aspect of our education system not forgetting the agricultural s

It was meant to maintain order and make our metropolis, our malls and massive markets more civil and modern. However, by their mercenary manners and dubious modus operandi, the men mandated by the Metropoliran authorities to make the measures work, have rather made things matchlessly murkier and life more meaningless for many a motorist, merchant and major patrons of our many mushrooming markets. The Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) rolled out a very laudable initiative, “Sustainable Smart City” among others to rid the Accra city of chaos, congestions and inordinate buildings and filth by hawkers, traders and other people as one of the means of cleaning up Accra and needed everyone's effort.

 The Akufo-Addo Government has cancelled the December 17 national referendum which was meant to decide on an amendment of Article 55 (3) of the Constitution to enable political parties to sponsor candidates during local level elections. This was announced by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo on Sunday, December 1, 2019. As the referendum day drew closer, there was a noticeable split among major stakeholders and observers. The NDC was worried that an amendment will open district assemblies and unit committees to “the needless NDC-NPP polarisation.” The NDC’s flagbearer, John Mahama also backed his party’s position suggesting that an amendment of Article 243(1) of the constitution was more necessary. Per Article 243 (1) of the 1992 Constitution, District Chief Executives for every district are to be appointed by the President with the prior approval of not less than two-thirds majority of members of the assembly present and voting at the meeting.The General Secretary of
