A Leader Without Wisdom Brings Chaos – Mensa Otabil Updated: 10 -Nov -2014

General Overseer of the International Central Gospel Church (ICGC ) , Pastor Mensa Otabil has underscored the need for people in leadership positions to seek wisdom . In his view, it is a calamity of life to be positional powerful but bereft of wisdom.
“ Wisdom brings about rulership , riches and righteousness . It is calamity to be in a place of
leadership and not have wisdom” he noted. Pastor Otabil made the comment while delivering a sermon Sunday on the theme
“ Wisdom Part 3 ” .Citing the father as the head of the family as an example , the renowned preacher said the children will be doomed if
the father lacks wisdom. “ When you are a father , head of a family and you have no wisdom, you cause chaos in the life of you children” .“ When you are a leader in any form of life , a teacher without wisdom is going to disturb the confidence of the pupil ”. Pastor Otabil also chastised parents who curse their children instead of motivating them to
choose the right path in life. “ There are parents who are in leadership but run their homes with foolishness and create mayhem in their children ” he stressed .

Three Times Sex Dosage A Week Is The Best - Doctor Updated: 10 -Nov -2014

Chief Executive Officer of Champion Divine Clinic (CDC) , Dr. Kwaku Frimpong says having sex 3 times in a week is the best way to go in fulfilling a healthy sex life stressing having sexual intercourse five times a week puts a strain on the body and weakens the potency of sperms.
According to Dr. Frimpong , the increasing number of childlessness and its attendant divorce cases bear testimony that Ghanaians
must take their reproductive life serious and adopt healthy life choices to safeguard the continuous production of off - springs. The CDC executive also disclosed that excessive alcohol intake, hepatitis B cases, spiritual
attacks and personal errors all can lead to bareness or impotency. He urged citizens especially males to consume more carrots to help boost the sperm count adding that although the work of pastors and
other spiritualist in breaking curses and warding off spiritual attacks is commendable there is need for medical attention to be sought to make the healing whole .              Dr . Kwaku Frimpong noted for a male to be able to bear children he must have a sperm count of 45 million adding that infections have
been found to inhibit males who love to bear children . He called on such people to seek medical help
from centres with proven track records cautioning that whiles all doctors are potentially good it is the diagnosis and efficacy of drugs they prescribe which makes one stand out from the crowd .
Dr . Frimpong advised the youth as well as oldies to avoid taking alcoholic beverages disguised as aphrodisiacs to limit the harm
such concoctions will have on their hearts , liver and kidneys.

CJ, Speaker have been "constitutionally lawless" - Baako. Update: 08 - Nov - 2014

Political pundit Kweku Baako Jr has accused the Chief Justice and Speaker of Parliament of dabbling in “constitutional lawlessness.”
The New Crusading Guide Editor-in-Chief told Joy FM’s Newsfile programme Saturday that the arbitrary decision taken by the two
constitutional figures against swearing the Speaker in as acting president in the stead of the President and the Vice President – who are both out of the country – was not right. “They must offer an explanation and apology because they had no business” doing what they did, Baako told Samson Lardi Ayenini on the programme.
As far as he is concerned, the Speaker “usurped authority without any constitutional basis.”
Edward Doe Adjaho, within this week, acted in the President’s stead twice, without freshly
subscribing to the oath of the presidency. He argued that his September 19, 2013 subscription to the same oath administered by
Chief Justice Georgina Wood, when both the President and the Vice President were out of the country, still held sway, thus unnecessary
for him to be sworn in afresh. That
interpretation was reportedly reached after consultations between the Chief Justice and
Speaker. President Mahama travelled to Burkina Faso Wednesday while his vice Kwesi Amissah-Arthur was also in India on an official visit. He returned home shortly and then took off to
Nigeria Friday. Mahama is also billed to travel to the Vatican
Sunday. All these travels come on the heels of an earlier two-week sojourn to the UK and Denmark.
According Article 60 (11) of Ghana’s 1992 Constitution: “Where the President and the Vice-President are both unable to perform the
functions of the President, the Speaker of Parliament shall perform those functions until
the President or the Vice-President is able to perform those functions or a new President assumes office, as the case may be.” Also Article 60(12) of the Constitution states
that: “The Speaker shall, before commencing to perform the functions of the President under
clause (11) of this article, take and subscribe the oath set out in relation to the office of the
President.” Some Lawyers, including Kwame Akuffo, have
argued that the Speaker committed treason when he held himself as acting president
without taking the presidential oath of office, and must be impeached.

Stonebwoy Dares Shatta Wale Updated: 07 -Nov -2014

Popular dancehall artiste , Shatta Wale may be biting more than he can chew after setting his eyes on a new target for what some
entertainment commentaries refer to as, his favourite past- time – “rival -bashing ”. His new target , Ashaiman -based dancehall
sensation , Stonebwoy , has dared the Shatta Movement King to call him (Stonebwoy ) by name and unambiguously direct his
insinuations of plagiarism against his person and music. ‘Burniton 's dare comes days after the ‘Dancehall King ’ released a new video in which he attacked Stonebwoy for “ stealing” his
friend , Rashid Metal’s ‘Baafira ’ song . In Shatta Wale ’s words…“ Me the Baafira, Baafira make nobody try take the title cos e be
Rashi Metal wey I dey hear from am . The boy be my youth, straight from Tankase line so make nobody try like he wan use the Baafira;
make we give people chance make den do dema thing . I hear say some Artiste wan claim he bring the Baafira, herh herh if you bring
your Baafira come, herh, herh , herh, don’ t do that e be wanna language.” In a response to Shatta ’s veiled swipe at him, Stonebwoy said the ‘Dancehall King ’ is only
trying to remain relevant to his fans by doing what he knows to do best. “… He would want to stay relevant in the system because we all know that he is one of the Artistes who made it onto the scene hugely by propaganda and then all sort of negative influence. For a guy like him, I don ’t blame
him, he will continue to be smart to feed that ego so that he keeps relevance ,” he said in an interview with Eboo , host of Green lounge
Empire FM’ s Saturday afternoon entertainment programme .
The “Ghetto Love ” hit maker also advised Shatta Wale to be brave enough to address issue head - on.
“… Exactly, he is referring to me but cowardly enough he hasn’ t still mentioned my name so
why would I take it personal you understand? If you are starting the fight and you want to really refer to somebody and you are brave,
yo , you just have to say my guy this is to you .” “ Although indirectly he is referring to me , I’ m
supposed to be wise because I don’ t find my name in there. He is just trying to be smart to create wave to feed the original image he has brought on himself. It is no news to Ghana that Shatta is that kind of Artiste who has some kind of negativity around him,” he noted. He added that he is now well- known because he made " good music ". " That is why I came on the scene not because I
insulted anybody or started beefing, so the masses respect me for the fact that if they want good music and intelligent music , they
can always turn to Stonebwoy” .
He , however, said he will not be swayed into releasing a reprisal video. “ I think he has not gotten to that extreme that he requires my reply but if he tries , ah ah ah
ah , me and Ashaiman we will not wait for one second” , he threatened.

Parliament imports more furniture from Italy. Update: 07 - Nov - 2014

Just days after parliamentarians received heavy criticism for importing furniture from China to
refurbish their chamber, it has emerged that Parliament is importing more from Italy for
their offices. Local furniture companies have criticized
government for ignoring them to import what they describe as “inferior” chairs and tables
from China. The speaker of Parliament, Edward Doe Adjaho
has revealed that “some Members of Leadership and MPs, as well as Members of the Technical Team traveled to Italy to inspect and
confirm various facilities and units of furniture.” This was contained in his opening remarks when Parliament reconvened on Tuesday.
The Speaker of Parliament said six MPs traveled to inspect the furniture “prior to their being shipped to Ghana.” The MPs are Hajia Mary Boforo (Deputy Majority Whip), Irene Naa – Torshie Addo
(Deputy Minority Whip) and Emmanuel Bedzrah, MP for Ho West. The rest are David Oppon Kusi, MP for Ofoase-Ayirebi Constituency, Kofi Safo-Duodu, and
Ebenezer Dzietror.
Some Minority Members of Parliament have criticised the leadership of the House for
ignoring President Mahama’s campaign to promote made-in-Ghana goods. Responding to the criticism, leadership of Parliament has explained that it imported
furniture from China because it was impossible for a local company to produce the over 300 furniture pieces within a limited time.
The Deputy Majority Leader in Parliament, Alfred Kwame Agbesi stressed that Parliament in no way ignored the President’s directive to
patronize made in Ghana products.
“We needed over 300 chairs and 300 tables before resuming sitting and now which furniture company in Ghana would have given us this quantity of furniture within this short time?” he asked. Meanwhile, Trade and Industry Minister, Ekow
Spio Gabrah on Thursday launched a Made-in-Ghana Fair on Thursday in Accra.

committee that was put up by the three member committee to appoint the new coachgfor Ghana ," FA boss Kwesi Nyantakyi said.

small details which will be sorted out soon ."Grant' s appointment will be completed after a financial agreement is reached with the man
who led Chelsea to the finals of the Champions League in 2008 and is now a technical director in Thailand . The GFA also confirmed that if an agreement
proved difficult, it would fall on Juan Ignacio Jimenez to take over the job . Grant will face a hard task as he looks to rebuild a national team recovering from an embarrassing World Cup and will have his first hurdle as the AFCON in Morocco in January.

Obrafour says “Ghanaian music is gradually losing its identity” Update: 07 - Nov - 2014

A veteran hiplife artist, Kwabena Otchere Darko known in showbiz as Obrafour, has expressed worry over what he termed the swift
perishing of Ghanaian traditions and cultural values in our music.
Obrafour in an exclusive interview with Dj Sly on Ark Fm over the weekend said “change is good but the change should be such that our
foundations remain original since change is the law of nature”.
He said Ghana music is gradually losing its sense of identity and belonging as compare to the previous years. “I sometimes get worried about the trend of
our music because most musicians nowadays do not recognize and consider the traditions and cultural values of our homeland in their
content which is gradually killing our identity as Ghanaians”
When asked about how he feels when the he sees the younger generation going astray with
the music content, he advice that they should always remember where they come from and their background because music is a powerful tool that can sell our culture and traditions to the outside world.
“Music is a powerful tool which brings change to the individual and the nation at large, so just as we always yearn for good and healthy food for our body, so must we give the best of satisfaction to the soul because music is the
food of the soul”. The “Odasani” hitmaker has again advice the
youth that, music has taken a lot of twist and turns over the years which has put the Ghanaian music on the high ladder making it
possible to rock shoulders with the foreign music so they should preach through their music by given the right message the audience.
