“I ' m Prez of Ghana .. .I Haven’ t Decided We Host AFCON 2015 - Mahama Updated: 19 -Oct- 2014

Ghana has not decided to host the Africa Cup of Nations for 2015 , President John Mahama has clarified. He told Ghanaians in the United Kingdom where he is visiting that: “We haven’t taken a
decision to host” . “ I am President of Ghana , I chair cabinet. No
such decision has been taken by cabinet advising me to accept to host” . The President’s clarification follows an avalanche of civil society opposition to comments by Sports Minister Mahama Ayariga that the West African country had the capacity to host the AFCON in January 2015 should original host, Morocco, decide to pull out due
to fears over the deadly Ebola Virus Disease ..Morocco has asked CAF to consider postponing the event , but the African football body insists on holding the game per the original schedule. It has written to Ghana and South Africa to consider hosting in the stead of Morocco, should the North African country pull out . Ghanaian civil society groups including OccupyGhana , Christian Council , and an adhoc anti- Afcon 2015 social media group, fear Ghana could be importing the haemorrhagic fever into the country if it accepts to host the
game. President Mahama , however , said : “ I want to tell you that we will take the best interest of
Ghanaians at heart. As President , I don’t want to see Ebola spread to my country and so if Morocco expresses concern that that is one of the concerns for which they want a postponement, we are going to look at that carefully before we host AFCON or not , but
certainly 2017 we are putting in a bid for it ”.

Why Ghanaians Urinate In Public - Mensa Otabil Updated: 19 -Oct- 2014

Motivational Speaker and Preacher Mensa Otabil has said Ghanaians urinate in public because the system within which they grow up
lacks optimal wisdom to govern their behaviour . “ The same Ghanaians who’ll urinate in the
street here go to London and their body functions the same way, but they don’t urinate on the street . Why ?” he wondered .
The Founder and General Overseer of the International Central Gospel Church ( ICGC ) said Ghanaians refrain from the bad habit abroad
because those systems have structures that govern people’ s bahaviour . “ They are governed. Their desire is governed. They would hoard whatever they are feeling for five hours to get to the right place to deposit it . How come here they have no patience ?” he asked his congregation on Sunday October 19, 2014 when he taught the church about wisdom. According to him, Ghanaians do not restrain themselves from urinating in public back at home “because the wisdom for the governance of the space we have, is weak” . “ Wisdom is the principal thing ”, he reiterated , but clarified that the governmental nature of
wisdom , which he was referring to was not restrictive to political governance . “ The fifth dimension of wisdom is that wisdom is governmental. That is ruling with fairness and equity. Now I know when I say governmental the first thing you think about is the government . But in the Hebrew society where much of the wisdom we know in the Bible originated from , the first governmental system was the family ”.

“I am the sexiest, daring, annoying, but the best Ghanaian female artiste in Africa” – Kaakie

I remember during my primary school days when teachers asked for a description of myself in one sentence, I fumbled. It’s usually
very hard to condense all the description you could give of yourself in one sentence. Even as
an adult, same thing happens when I go for interviews; and am asked to describe myself in one sentence. This “one sentence” description of yourself, is not the easiest of tasks. But, well, this is not
the case for Kaakie. Over the weekend “The white carpet”, an
entertainment show on JoyNews on multi TV, hosted dance hall queen Kaakie. The queen diva as popularly called when asked to describe herself in one sentence took a deep breath and without punctuations, she said; “I am the most sexiest, daring, annoying but the best Ghanaian female artiste here in Africa, the world and
aiming to empower women, and very sweet”. Think otherwise? Well you can take a swim in the ocean but Kaakie won’t care. The Diva who was just describing herself in one sentence added that she can be very naughty at times. Who would think the daring Kaakie will
fear anything? Well everybody has fears and Kaakie's biggest fear at the moment is Nigeria's Jesse Jagz. The two have been nominated in the same category “Reggae Dancehall” in the 2013 Channel ‘O’ awards. But the sexy dancehall queen assures herself and her fans; “I won’t board a plane to South Africa and come back with nothing. I’m hopeful irrespective of my competition.” The last time Samini was on “The White Carpet”
he referred to Kaakie as his little baby, so it didn’t come as a surprise when Kaakie responded in similar fashion, when asked who
Samini meant to her, that: “Samini is like my father, brother and everything to me”. She added that the 30% of “Patwa” she speaks
is by kind courtesy, Samini Meanwhile Kaakie has entreated all her fans to keep praying for
her and look forward to a whole new Kaakie after the channel O awards.

Pope Suffers Synod Setback On Homosexuals Updated: 18 -Oct- 2014

divorced or contracted a civil marriage. But those paragraphs were not approved , and stripped from final the report . The Pope said the full draft document should nonetheless be published .
