The death of a pastor of Cross of Calvary Healing and Deliverance Ministry in Teleku-Bokazo in the Ellembelle District of the Western Region has left many in wonder after they heard death threats issued on radio by a man he was fighting over a land with. Reverend Anthony Kwame Nyame died exactly five days after one Samuel Erzoah was heard on radio spuing the death threat. The two were said to be fighting over a land at Teleku-Bokazo. But there was a heated exchange between them on West End Radio on October 7, 2018, when they were hosted on air…

There is something cruel in regular life about celebrating when another man loses their job.  Then again, not many jobs have the sort of direct bearing a football manager’s job has on people’s collective emotions and moods. So on Tuesday morning, when Manchester United issued a statement announcing that their hugely popular Portuguese manager Jose Mourinho “has left the club with immediate effect” it triggered a mass wave of delight among Manchester United fans. The memes flowed and the once Special One became the sacked one. Videos of fans celebrating, posts declaring “good riddance to bad” rubbish were rife. That reaction…

Kofi Kinaata and Team Move last week launched the 2018 edition of ‘Made In Tadi’, an event that has metamorphosed into an annual festival for the Christmas season in Sekondi-Takoradi. At a press conference held at the Anaji Choice Mart, the Public Relation Officer for ‘Made In Taadi’ Concert, Nana Kwesi Coomson, detailed how the event is slated to unfold. Unlike the maiden edition in 2017, which was basically a concert, Made in Tadi 2018 will be in two parts, he said. The first part dubbed ‘Family Day Out’ will commence at 10 am and end at 5 pm on Saturday, December…

…Maybe so. It is said that power reveals a person’s character. That is what the President’s character confirms beyond his smooth accent and his ‘tennis ball lenses’. I am wondering whether the NPP’s 2016 manifesto has changed from ‘Agenda for Jobs’ to ‘the Naming Agenda’ or ‘Restoring Ghana’s Skewed History’. Otherwise, whoever committed this sin against the gods to have caused our president to lose focus must go back to appease them. As I thought about the haphazard manner by which government’s flagship Free SHS is being implemented, I have concluded that we have a leader who would go any…

Work by the Ghana Football Association (GFA)’s Normalisation Committee continues to be scrutinised every day following their inauguration on September 13, 2018. The scrutiny won’t stop until their mandate ends on March 31, 2019 or anytime a new GFA is ushered into office. In the last few days, certain questions arising out of the committee’s own work, have agitated my mind and I will like to put them to the honourable committee. Depending on the information available to you, some of the questions might come either as relevant or irrelevant. Whatever it’s, my right to free speech and free thinking…

Chairperson of the Electoral Commission, Ghana (EC) Jean Mensa says she was excited about her appointment when it was made known to her. “It came as a pleasant surprise and of course, I was happy about it. I was joyful about it and elated about it and thankful to God about it.” She stated, nonetheless, that she felt she had taken a wrong decision to accept the appointment because she was on her way for her Sabbatical leave when she had a call from the presidency. She said she initially thought the call was on some of the recommendations by…

Former President John Dramani Mahama is scheduled to be at the headquarters of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) on Monday to submit his presidential nomination forms, 3news.com can confirm. He will do so at midday. It will be the first day of the filing of forms at GH¢300,000. Mr Mahama is seeking to lead the NDC for the third time into an election. After winning the 2012 polls, he lost to Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo in the 2016 elections. But his return to contest the seat for the third time depends on the January 26 primary of the NDC. He…

Ghana Premier League side Asante Kotoko on Saturday held Kenya’s Kariobangi Sharks to a goalless drawn game at the Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani, Kenya. It was the first leg of a Caf Confederation Cup qualifier. The Sharks had walloped Djibouti’s Solar7 9-1 to reach this stage of the qualifiers. The Porcupine Warriors, on the other hand, were kicking a ball for the first time in the competition after gaining a walkover following the Cameroonian FA’s failure to meet a deadline regarding their second club aside New Star FC. The goalless draw in Kenya gives Kotoko the needed advantage ahead…

The Confederation of African Football (Caf) has confirmed that the South African Football Association (SAFA) and the Egyptian Football Association (EFA) have submitted bids to host the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations. Cameroon were stripped of the rights after they were adjudged to be unprepared for the tourney. Security issues were also raised as a major source of concern for Caf. Caf, therefore, opened window for nations to bid to host the tournament, which is scheduled to start from 15 June and end on 13 July next year. In a statement on Saturday, Caf announced that Egypt, who last hosted…

Chair of the Electoral Commission, Ghana (EC) Jean Mensa says a powerful woman should not be seen exhibiting her powers outwardly. She says a powerful woman should let her power show from within. “I don’t believe a powerful woman should wear her power,” she admonished. Mrs Mensa was speaking on Today’s Woman on TV3 on Saturday as the featured woman. This is considered as a subtle jab at her predecessor, Charlotte Osei, who was seen by some as condescending prior to the 2016 polls. She was removed by a petition from some staff of the Commission for some of the…
