Ghanaians poorer as economy ranks worst in 2012 Global Prosperity Index

Ghana has dropped in its position as a prosperous country. The country lost nine places to rank 87th out of 142 nations in the 2012 Global Prosperity Index released by the Legatum Institute October 30, 2012.
Ghana ranked 78 out of 110 countries in the 2011 edition and 90 in 2010.
Ghana’s best ranking on the 2012 Index was in Freedom where it placed 39th. The Ghana’s worst ranking was in the area of economy. The country placed placed 111st.
As compared to the 2011 edition where Ghana placed third in sub-Saharan Africa, the country this time dropped to the fourth place after Botswana, South Africa and Namibia who took the first, second and third position in the region respectively.
Legatum Institute’s prosperity index, now in its sixth year, assesses global wealth and wellbeing and benchmarks 142 countries around the world in eight categories – Economy, Education, Entrepreneurship and opportunity, Governance, Health, Personal freedom, Safety and security and Social capital
In terms of entrepreneurship and opportunity, Ghana placed 101st as compared to the 2011 edition’s 85th.
According to Legatum, 68.5% of Ghanaians have confidence in the government while 77.6% of the population has confidence in the country’s judicial system. In that sense, the index ranked Ghana 54th in terms of governance as compared to the 51st place in the 2011 Index.
On other areas Ghana was ranked 104th in Education as against 94th in 2011, Health (99th) compared to 87th in 2011, Safety & security (67th) against 2011’s 55th and Social capital (94th) compared to 71st in 2011.
Norway topped the index while Central African Republic was last.
The Institute sourced its data from Gallup World Poll, the World Trade Organisation (WTO), World Development Indicators, GDP, World Intellectual Property Organization, UN Human Development Report, World Bank, OECD and World Values Survey.

Fee-free education in Ghana

At the heart of the Old Testament narrative is the Pentateuch (Torah). Right smack in the middle of the Torah is Leviticus meaning "relating to the descendants of Levi starting with Aaron’s sons as the priests. The origin can possibly be located in the context of the post-exilic period some 2,500 years after creation. It paints a picture of the ethical and ritual life, what we might call a priestly impulse. It sheds lights on the connection between priesthood and people as mediators representing the people to God and God to the people.
Among many ritual laws introduced by the book of Leviticus is the law of tithing first revealed as payment only on the increase of the land and animals (Leviticus 27:30–31). The Hebrew and Greek words for “tithe” both simply mean “a tenth.” The Encyclopedia Americana defines the general tithe as “the tenth part of produce or other income, paid voluntarily or under the compulsion of law for the benefit of religious institutions, the support of priests and pastors, and the relief of those in need.” The introduction of this law became necessary as a means of supporting the tribe of Levi (Levites) who were chosen as priests of God hence were not given portions of land inheritance when the Israelite reached the promised land after the exodus from Egypt. All the other eleven tribes (representing sons of Jacob whose name was changed to Israel) each had a share of piece of land for agricultural produce except Levi, being dedicated to the work of God. Another reason was to support the work of God and the needy in Israel.
The mainstream contemporary church insists that the tithe is an unchanging biblical standard, or eternal moral principle, which reflects the character of God, therefore, exact tithing of ten percent of one’s gross income should be observed by all Christians. In addition, free-will offerings are to be given thus all forms of offertories including 'Kofi ne Ama' as well as harvests are collected at local congregations. Without exception, the tithe must be returned to God first thus tithe  is used in paying salaries of gospel workers and ­ providing social programmes. Some smaller churches also use the tithe for building funds and payment of all church debts. Other necessities such as shelter, child care, medicine, food, heat, and clothing must be given less priority. The church is obligated to teach tithing because it is a biblical command.

 Over the weekend, the General Overseer of the International Central Gospel Church (ICGC), Dr. Mensa Otabil delivered a sermon at which he is purported to have said "education can never be free". The main thrust of his thinking is "somebody is paying for it...“Nothing is free, you are paying for it. Only you are being told you didn’t pay. How do you pay for it? Through taxation. Who pays the taxes? Me.” You see when they come to you and say things like fee-free education. You are happy; take your children to school. Government is good. He added that the only reason why Ghanaians will believe such promises is because “ignorance makes it easy for people to accept anything”.

“I don’t believe in free education. I said pay me well my due and let me have the joy of paying my own child’s school fees so that my child is not a property of the state. He’s my own child and I have the dignity of a father to pay for my own child. When my child grows up I say I paid your fees.” He said Ghanaians should demand quality before believing anything that is offered as free because a freebie will be of no value to the individual.

“If someone tells you anything is free, ask them what is the quality? Because if you don’t know the quality don’t take it free.”

He said people should ask those offering the freebies if Ghanaians have any control over what is being offered before they buy into the ideas. He added that the when one is offered a free item, even when it is bad, one cannot complain.
I have just few questions to ask:

1. Does Pastor Dr. Mensa Otabil apply these principles to collecting tithes and free-will offerings at ICGC congregations?

2. By virtue of ICGC priests owing large firms like GAMA company operators of TV3 and First BanC among others, are they not earning enough income to support themselves and their families to negate the law and application of tithing and free-will offerings at ICGC congregation?

3. Does the Central University College where Dr. Mensa Otabil is also the Chancellor operate and offer scholarship schemes as well as organise Poor Fund at ICGC congregations?

4. Do members of ICGC congregation subscribe to NHIS and has Dr. Mensa Otabil explained to them that payment of  2.5% NHI Levy on VAT affected goods and services means NHIS is not free and good?

5. Do members of ICGC congregation work at NYEP where Talk Tax from telephone and internet users is used to pay them?

6. Do members of ICGC congregation attend public run basic schools where Capitation Grant from taxes is giving fee-free education and to some free feeding as well as GETFUND removing 'so-called Schools Under Trees' and distributing free laptops, exercise books, and uniforms?

7. Is Dr. Mensa Otabil by this position implying that there is a public salary pay discrimination policy against citizens from Northern, Upper East and Upper West Regions hence fee-free education for their children for the past 55 years and still counting?

8. Lastly but apparently not the least, does Pastor Mensa Otabil pay his clergy and gospel workers so well that they pave their own roads, treat their own pipe-borne water, refuse fuel subsidy and many other public goods and services?

Opinion, they say are like noses, each of us has one. Personally, given the opportunity to proffer a position on the education debate, I would have offered a modified scheme rather than wholesale free for all. This is not because people do not deserve it or the state cannot afford it, my perspective relates to what Ghanaians do to anything tagged as 'aban dea' (belonging to the state) while keeping an eye on sustainability. If nobody is questioning the right of children in Northern, Upper East and Upper West Regions to fee-free education and we all admit that Ghana has been able to sustain it for 55 years, there is no reason adding on the extra remaining seven regions of Volta, Greater Accra, Central, Western, Brong Ahafo, Ashanti and Eastern Regions should raise questions about sustainability and quality. Are there no evidences to show that products of the fee-free education from northern Ghana are equal in quality to any part of the world? By such logic are those people raising quality concerns attempting to shoot down or question the credentials of the sitting President John Dramani Mahama who is a product of fee-free education? Indeed was his father not well paid as a Minister of State at the time he sent little John Mahama away from Achimota School in Accra to Tamale to enjoy fee-free education?
The truth for me is quite simply this; there is nothing wrong for any Ghanaian be it from the clergy or any other profession critiquing and taking a personal position on any matter of public interest. That is a constitutional and a fundamental human right. In fact I detest people who argue that the clergy should stay away from politics, a position even our constitution abhors. The constitution even nowhere unlike the case of chieftaincy, debars the clergy from active partisan politics. This evidently can be deduced and seen from the actions of Prophet Tigya of the DFP (PNDC) and Prophet Nkansah of NVP. My concern about Dr. Mensa-Otabil's pronouncement stems from the logic he advanced to support his position. Having written a thesis on care and support for orphans and vulnerable children (OVC), and having been part of my church's efforts to support and address the problems confronting the less privileged in society, I can boldly and unashamedly stand up and argue their cause. Oh yes, there are privileged couple of citizens as Dr. Mensa Otabil, nonetheless the concept of the broom reminds us of the strength in numbers. I am sure as the General Overseer of the ICGC he is not oblivious of the prominence given to widows, the sick, the poor, orphans, and such people in the Bible from which I believe his church ICGC is indoctrinated. I only hope that on sober reflections, he will come back and 'clarify' his argument. My assumption is that perhaps we either do not get the crux of his position or even we misunderstand him. It is also very possible he intended a different explanation but got it all twisted in the course of delivering his sermon. 
The skill of communicating is to create a context in which other people can think. As things stand presently, I can only imagine reasons for his thinking are flawed, outrageous and if stretched any further, the most logical conclusion that can be drawn is that religion in the general sense keeps the people listless and sedated as an opiate or opium leaves people. When your only tool is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. If the eye cannot see it, the hand cannot make it, if the tongs will not hold it, the hammer cannot hit it, if you cannot remember it, forget it. Just a little reminder that those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night.
If there is any kind of magic in this world it must be in the attempt of understanding someone, sharing something. It's almost impossible to succeed. But... who cares, really? The answer must be in the attempt. Can President John Dramani Mahama's father say "the President 's my own child and I have the dignity of a father to have paid for John Mahama's school fees"?
Pleasant debate folks! <3

Woes of the woman at the hands of insatiable Man

For a number of girls the true meaning love and being in love is never grasped hence tend to focus on the wrong end nerves. It is more meaningful to be loved from the inside out, than from the outside in. Focus on beautifying the inside. Weave positivity into your spirit. Make up your face with a smile, dress up your attitude with humility, spritz on some joy from head to toe. Attract him with the beauty of your heart. From there try to grasp the natural differences that exist between girls and boys so that you don't fall into the same desperation many female spouses find themselves; MOST MEN ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE...
 
If the man calls a woman and her phone is switched off, he thinks she is cheating so then he sends a SMS saying “don’t  tell me the battery story because I know that line”!!


If the woman treats him nicely, he says she is too in love, moving too fast; If she doesn't, the man says she is proud!!
If the woman dresses gorgeously, he says she is trying to seduce/lure other men; If she doesn't, the man says she is rural!!

If the woman argues with the man, he says she is stubborn and too manly; If she keeps quiet, the man says she has no brains hence a walkover!!

If the woman is smarter than him, she is a show off; If the man is smarter than her, he is great!!

If the woman doesn't love him, he tries to possess her; If she loves him, the man takes her for granted (very true huh)!!

If the woman doesn't make love to him, he says she doesn't love him; If she does, the man says she is cheap!!

If the woman tells him her problems, he says she is trouble; If she doesn't, the man says she doesn't trust him!!

If the woman scolds him, she is treating him like a child; If the man scolds her, it is because he cares for her!!

If the woman breaks her promise, she cannot be trusted; If the man breaks his, it is circumstances beyond his control (yea right)!!

If the woman smokes, sh is a bad girl; If the man smokes, he is a gentleman!!

If the woman does well in her career, it is luck ; If the man does well, it is definitely brains!!

 If the woman hurts him, she is cruel; If the man hurts her, she is too sensitive!!

If the woman sends this information to guys, they will swear that it is not true, it is nonsense; if she doesn't, they say she is selfish!! 
If the woman is quiet, she is angry; If the man is quiet, he is  thinking!!


HOW ARE WOMEN SUPPOSED TO GET IT RIGHT?
What men should know ..a woman who truly loves you will get angry at you for so many reasons but forever will still stick around. You've probably come across the saying that a wife material should know how to cook because the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. You'll possibly have to reassess this view and act smart.
A wife material is not someone that can cook, wash your clothes or clean the house, you can always get a maidservant to perform those chores. A wife material is that woman that even when the world is against you, she sticks by you and got your back covered, it is that woman that no matter how things get rough, you can always count on her. She is that woman who even when you don't know who to turn to anymore she is always telling you I am here for you and will never let go.

Olele's family in Prophet TB Joshua's spiritual snare

Wife of Ghanaian international Richard Kingson has confessed bewitching her husband since they got married. Speaking at the Synagogue Church in Nigeria, the woman revealed how she had used her evil powers to trouble the goalkeeper’s carrer and made him impotent as well. The pastor of the church TB Joshua prayed for her and asked her to tell all that she was still hiding. 
Again, Prophet TB Joshua was in the news recently for another controversy. This minister and his organisation; The Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) remain the most controversial Christian personalities in the world today. There are doubts over their emergence, miracles, prophecies, source of power and other activities.

In fact, every action of this prophet or any news from his synagogue is always received with suspicion by the Christian community, the media and even unbelievers. So, few weeks ago, when Adelaide Tawiah; the wife of the Ghanaian former premier league goalkeeper Richard kingson was reported to have confessed on a television programme organised by Joshua that she was a witch and was responsible for spiritually sabotaging her husband’s football carrier and also rendering him impotent, I knew it was going to be another ‘rain of bashes’ for the Arigidi-Akoko born self-styled preacher. Kingson who has previously played in the Premier League for Birmingham , Wigan and Blackpool, has failed to find a new club since being released from Bloomfield Road last year and has also lost his place in the Ghana national team.
The couple went to be prayed for and as the prophet was casting out the ‘evil spirit’ from Mrs Kingson, she fell down and began to confess, “I messed up Richard’s life ever since we got married. I used my evil powers to trouble his career, I’ve been working on him spiritually to the point he could not perform in bed,” Imagine that! On television! Before her husband and the congregation! Before the whole world! She has since denied being a witch or responsible for her husband’s misfortunes. She said she was spiritually manipulated by TB to make those confessions. She says she has been very supportive of her husband’s carrier and never worked against him. Kingson has also denied that his wife is a witch. But all these are coming late because the damage has already been done.
Remember this is the same woman who saved Kingson from shame in 2006 when she advised him not to take a $300,000 bribe to let in two goals during a match against the Czech Republic at the 2006 World Cup in Germany . This tempting amount was against the paltry sum of $8,000 that was the winning bonus for the match. She told her husband not to get  involve in such dirty deal because her love for him is not for money. She has also stressed that her husband knows how inspirational she has been to his goalkeeping career.
Prophet Temitope Balogun Joshua, fondly called TB Joshua is not new to controversies. Remember, when Chris Oyakhilome (Pastor Chris of Christ Embassy fame) visited him sometime ago, that singular action caused so much uproar in the Nigeria Christian circles and the media promptly feasted on it. The ‘vibrations’ from that crisis dictated the headlines for the major newspapers and magazines for so many weeks. The Nigerian Christians were confused.
Though they had permanently placed TB as a false prophet, but they didn’t know what to do with Chris Oyakhilome; who later claimed that he shares the same father-in-the- lord with TB, and was going to the synagogue to learn healing from the prophet. This shook the whole nation. Many ministers of the gospel reacted. People like Chris Okotie chided Oyakhilome and also began to dissect TB’s operations; describing him as a high occult manipulator. Trust him to use known and unknown words to drive home this point. It was virtually a media war between them. I still remember some of those headlines: ‘The War of the Chrises’, ‘Crisis of the Chrises’, ‘Oyakhilome Replies Okotie’, etc.
It was later that we were made to know that the publicity given to the Oyakhilome’s visits to the Synagogue was arranged by TB and his media assistants. The same people that did the ‘work’ are now saying so. Have you watched the video confessions of Bisola Joshua (Bisi) and Pastor Godwin Paul Agomoh, all formerly with TB at the SCOAN called "Deception of the Age (www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IskOpvuWMI&feature=player_detailpage)? Bisi said she was the head of TB’s media team and Agomoh, the former Deputy to the prophet. The pictures and the confessions in this video are simply shocking, revealing, unbelievable and unprintable.
They graphically, in details, with clips, pictures narrated how this man abuses women; whites, blacks, minors, choir members, sisters of same parents, wives of his workers and pastors, etc. Even Bisi confessed she was also mercilessly, thoroughly abused, used, manipulated and rendered useless by this man. She showed her pictures when she came newly to the synagogue and the ones while leaving to show how she was virtually turned into a ghost through sexual abuse and spiritual manipulation.
They also revealed how the so-called miracles and healings take place in the synagogue, how people are hired to do fake confessions, the media manipulations, how they arrange words of knowledge and wisdom, the source of the man’s power and influence, his hatred for true ministers of the gospel; how he marches on their pictures making powerful incantations against them.
They also talked about his hit squads, rituals, deceits, hatred for whites, love for money, etc. I mean on video. It is a must-watch. And remember these are his erstwhile confidants. Insiders! You will get very very angry in the spirit after watching the video. I watched it objectively, comparing it with other facts that I have. And if these things are fake, why have the producers not been sued for defamation up till now?? But are these men truly fake prophets or anti-Christ?
How do you know a fake prophet or a fake place of worship?

Some Surprising Facts About Orgasms

An orgasm is the peak of sexual pleasure. It typically consists of a series of involuntary muscle contractions in the sexual organs, lower pelvic muscles, and the anus. An orgasm is accompanied by the release of endorphins - opioid-like chemicals produced in the brain that give a feeling of euphoria. During an orgasm the person experiences a change in heart rate, blood pressure, and respiratory rate and depth. There is an intense and explosive feeling of pleasure. Great deal of differences exist in the manner in which men and women achieve orgasm during sexual intercourse or intimacy. In males, the most common way of achieving orgasm is by the stimulation of the penis. In females, the most common way of achieving orgasm is by stimulation of the clitoris.
Female orgasm occurs when beforehand the vaginal walls moisten and the clitoris enlarges. Then the clitoris goes inward under the clitoral hood and the vagina gets about one-third smaller. There are rhythmic contractions of the pelvic muscle, vagina and uterus. Females do not have a refractory period. On the other hand male orgasm is achieved as the male experiences rapid, rhythmic contractions of the urethra, the muscles at the base of the penis, and the prostate. Ejaculation of semen usually occurs through the urethral opening of the penis. A male orgasm usually lasts from 4 to about 10 seconds. Ejaculation without orgasm is possible, as is having an orgasm without ejaculation. After an orgasm the male goes through a refractory period - this is a short period after the nerve cell fires during which it cannot respond to additional stimulation. An orgasm cannot occur during the refractory period.
Men rarely have problems reaching orgasm. Women usually do hence knowing some female mysteries help to understand and work to stimulate faster orgasm. Women are complicated creatures. It seems like men never fully understand what they want both emotionally and physically. While men haven’t quite figured out how to keep women from getting mad at them, or from breaking into spontaneous crying fits,experienced has helped to devise a surefire way for us to figure out their plumbing down below and help them reach orgasm faster. The big “o” is sex isn't about the destination; it's about the means of travelling. Well, that is a lovely sentiment, but if it takes five buses, two trains and a plane to arrive at Destination Orgasm, the journey can get a tad tedious! That is why you want to learn the way to Destination Faster Orgasms instead. The good news is, there's a lot you can do to speed up your orgasms:
Prime yourself for sex by turning yourself on beforehand. Even if you are out to dinner with friends, while he is talking, think about what that tongue will do to you later, how much you would rather his fingers be inside you than wrapped around that beer glass, you get the picture. Several factors seem to influence whether women have both multiple and vaginal orgasms (as opposed to clitoral orgasms, which are more common): You can't control the sensitivity of your G-spot and other internal spots, but you can strengthen your PC muscles by doing your Kegel exercises. Also, be sure you are being flexible when it comes to trying different stimulation and orgasm triggers. In other words, when one technique brings you to orgasm quickly, make a note of what worked so you can try it again!
Match your foreplay to your mood. If you're feeling really horny, odds are good that you'll want to hastily apply some lubricant and get him to penetrate with no foreplay at all. If you're feeling only so-so sexy, lots of oral sex might be necessary to get you anywhere close to orgasm.
The better he can control his orgasm, the better your chances are for having more orgasms. As you are stimulating him, get him to rate how turned on he's feeling on a scale from 1 to 10 (10 being the no-looking-back-now point). Drive him to distraction by revving him up to a seven or eight, then slowing it down again, several times over before letting him go all the way. Make frequent contact with his penis. If your hand, tongue or vagina touches it more frequently, it will be less sensitive to the touch and he'll last longer. If he starts to feel out of control, try giving him a squeeze. Squeezing the base of the penis firmly for a few seconds can delay ejaculation.

1. Orgasms can relieve pain. Got a headache? Maybe you should have sex after all. There is some evidence that orgasms can relieve all kinds of pain—including pain from arthritis, pain after surgery and even pain during childbirth. The mechanism is largely due to the body’s release of a chemical called oxytocin during orgasm. Oxytocin facilitates bonding, relaxation and other positive emotional states. While the pain relief from orgasm is short-lived—usually only about eight to 10 minutes, past research indicates that even thinking about sex can help alleviate pain.

2. Condom use doesn’t affect orgasm quality.
In case you’re wondering if a condom has anything to do with the quality of your orgasm, don’t. “Women are equally likely to experience orgasm with or without a condom, dispelling myths that condoms don't make for good sex. In fact, condoms may help a couple spend more time having sex, as a man doesn't have to ‘pull out’ quickly if he's worried about ejaculating too soon.
3. Thirty percent of women have trouble reaching orgasm.
If you’ve ever had trouble climaxing, you’re not alone. According to Planned Parenthood statistics, as many as 1 in 3 women have trouble reaching orgasm when having sex. And as many as 80 percent of women have difficulty with orgasm from vaginal intercourse alone. Clitoral stimulation during intercourse can help but so can medical treatment. Female sexual dysfunction (FSD), which encompasses the inability to orgasm, is very common—as high as 43 percent, according to some surveys—and has been a topic of much debate and medical investigation lately. For some women, topical testosterone therapies or some oral medications can be helpful, but few medical treatments have solid evidence behind them.
4. Finding your G-spot may improve the likelihood of orgasm.
Can you identify your G-spot? The "G" refers to Ernst Gräfenberg, MD, a German gynecologist who is credited with “discovering” it in the 1950s, and sex experts have long touted this area of female genitalia, which is believed to contain a large number of nerve endings, as the key to helping women achieve longer and stronger orgasm. But it’s a controversial topic.
5. Orgasm gets better with age.
Sure, there are plenty of things to gripe about when it comes to age, but your sex life may actually improve—specifically the quality and frequency of orgasm. As an example, while 61 percent of women ages 18 to 24 experienced orgasm the last time they had sex, 65 percent of women in their 30s did and about 70 percent of women in their 40s and 50s did. Though the survey didn't indicate why orgasms come easier with age, we can assume that as women become more sexually experienced, they have more confidence in the bedroom and therefore enjoy themselves more. Additionally, the trust and intimacy that most women experience in long-term relationships can help improve sexual confidence as well.
6. Women who mix things up in the bedroom have more frequent orgasm.
If you have trouble reaching orgasm during intercourse, consider switching things up. It is significantly easier for women to experience orgasm when they engage in a variety of sex acts as opposed to just one act . For example, vaginal sex plus oral sex would be linked to a higher likelihood of orgasm than either one of them alone. This may be because more sex acts mean that people spend more time having sex.
7. A woman’s sexual self-esteem can affect the quality of her orgasms.
Research shows that how a woman feels about her genitals is linked to the quality of her orgasms. Every vagina looks different and there is no ‘perfect’ way for a vagina to look. As long as your vagina is pain-free and you don’t have any abnormal discharge, sores or other medical problems, you can consider yourself healthy and normal. Increase your orgasm potential by increasing your confidence. It’s important to treat yourself the way you would want others to treat you—send yourself healthy, positive messages about yourself and your body. Another trick: Pull out a hand mirror and take a look! Getting to know yourself down there is the first step in feeling confident about your parts.

8. There is an orgasm “gap.”
While it’s true that a small number of men have trouble with orgasm, sex experts report that it’s rare. Instead, a significant percentage of women report not having had an orgasm the last time they had sex, even when their male partner thought they had. While 85 percent of men thought their partner had an orgasm during their most recent episode of sex, only 64 percent of women reported having an orgasm. The cure? It’s complicated but women who are comfortable with and understand their body’s pleasure points can often learn to orgasm regularly.

9. In rare cases, orgasm can happen without genital stimulation.
We’ve all heard about women who can orgasm while sitting on a train or while getting a massage, but it's no urban legend. Experts say it’s a real phenomenon. The reason for spontaneous orgasms during certain activities is twofold—increased blood flow to the genitals and vibration of or contact with the clitoris. The increased blood flow and the general relaxation of a massage can lead to orgasm sometimes, too.

10. For most women, it takes a while…
Many women take longer to climax than their male partners, and that’s perfectly normal. In fact, according to statistics, most women require at least 20 minutes of sexual activity to climax. If you find that your partner often reaches orgasm before you do, there are ways to help him slow down. Mental exercises can sometimes work, and so can firm pressure around the base of the penis.

Hottest hit in town


Should now be obvious to all why he is 'CRAZY' else how on earth announce on radio 'contemplating resigning' instead of doing so. I guess he is hoping such antics will sway the powers that be to spare him his crumbling and untenable position.
In the mean time, eii dark humour has emerged! A dude has gone and twisted Tic Tac's hit song of the early 2000s ‘Philomena’. He's got earphones on, and is busily dancing on a patched-up video:

Cocaine hyɛ ha, cocaine wɔ ha, cocaine hyɛ ha...POW! Philomena kpitinge...coke coke
Wee hyɛ ha, wee wɔ ha, wee hyɛ ha....POW! Philomena kpitinge...wee wee
This song dey be kɛkɛ
Comedy Ghana; that is the only way to keep one’s sanity in the land of our birth!!
