Men ought to love women and women, men. It is just natural for a man to have a thing for another woman. Indeed, God made man for a woman just as like a jigsaw, He made the woman to fit into the life of a man. As boys grow into young men and then into old men, one pledge they must make to themselves is to owe allegiance to one woman… as much as it may seem impossible. Even though it may seem one woman is not satisfactory enough, every man must know that staying away from the entanglement of…

South Africa’s African National Congress (ANC) has been returned to office after winning parliamentary election, but with a reduced majority. The ANC secured 58% of the vote, ahead of the Democratic Alliance (DA) on 21%. The radical Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), came third with 11%.

This was pressure cooker stuff for Isaac Dogboe. More like a David-versus-Goliath situation where Goliath triumphs. Nothing different from what was seen in the first fight last December. The sweet smell of Mexican flavour flowing through the Convention Centre in Arizona. Navarrette had it. Crowd support, power, tactics, composure. Everything. From the offset, the Mexican Emmanuel Navarrette controlled the fight and played it all to his advantage till he finally won with a technical knockout in the 12thround. Punch after punch, round after round Naverrette kept coming into his own, making fewer mistakes and using his merits to overpower the…

Former President Jerry John Rawlings has expressed concern that though Ghana has been able to achieve electoral democracy, she has been unable to translate that into combatting and containing corruption. He said a good system of democracy should be able to contain corruption, stating that while a lack of democracy is usually associated with tyranny and corruption, Ghana has been able to achieve electoral democracy without its associated reward of the containment of corruption. “We can judge the quality of democracy by the extent to which it is able to bring on board the participation, the strength, the defiance, the…
