The coverage will also be on Takoradi-based Connect FM 97.1 and Kumasi-based Akoma FM. Over 6,000 delegates are expected to congregate…

Weird that I’m about to share my first orgasm story with you huh. I know, I feel  about it too but I just couldn’t help but compare sex talk with our parents then and the now “modern” parenting.   Some of you may relate to what you’re about to read so let’s just have a good laugh, shall we? My parents never taught me anything about sex because they said it’s a topic for adults. I wasn’t allowed to watch movies that were R-rated. I remember the number of times either of my folks will quickly change the channel when…

The Anana Kojo Yenadze Ebusua of Moree in the Abura-Asebu-Kwamankese District of the Central Region wants the body of the late Paa Kwesi Bekoe Amissah-Arthur brought home for burial. A head of the clan, Nana Sagoe Amanfo II, told 3news.com’s Central Region correspondent Kwame Kakarba on Monday that they will not allow their son to be buried neither in Accra nor in Cape Coast. The immediate past Vice President of Ghana passed away last Friday at the 37 Military Hospital after collapsing at a gym. He was rushed to the hospital but could not survive. It is likely a state…

Neymar scored one goal and played a key role in the second as Brazil edged out Mexico in Samara to reach the World Cup quarter-finals for a seventh consecutive time. Brazil did not have it all their own way, especially in an opening period dominated by Mexico, but the five-time winners grew into what became a controlled performance. It means Mexico are once again eliminated at the last-16 stage – as they have been at every World Cup since 1994. They did have plenty of chances early on, and it was only after a largely frustrating first half for Brazil…

National Organiser of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Kofi Adams has accused President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo of being behind a mastermind to get the former Chair of the Electoral Commission, Ghana (EC), Charlotte Osei, out of office. According to him, the president has been unfair in the way he handled the petition against the EC as against others that have been brought to his notice. Mr Adams argues that the swiftness with which President Akufo-Addo handled the “faceless” petition brought to have Mrs Osei investigated is not the same he handles other petitions. For example, the former NDC Deputy…

Edinson Cavani scored two superb goals as Uruguay beat Portugal to set up a World Cup quarter-final meeting with France. Defeat for the European champions finished Cristiano Ronaldo’s hopes of success in Russia just hours after Lionel Messi and Argentina were knocked out, beaten 4-3 by Les Bleus. This World Cup has not been short of stunning goals and Cavani added another to the collection when he opened the scoring early on, playing a superb one-two with Luis Suarez before thumping home a header from his strike partner’s cross. Uruguay had not conceded a goal at this World Cup before…

France became the first side to progress to the quarter-final of the ongoing FIFA World Cup in Russia after beating 2014 finalists Argentina 4-3 at the Kazan Arena. The first Round of 16 game saw the Europeans facing the South Americans in only their third meeting in the history of the tournament, the 1998 champions losing the previous encounters. But they started more aggressively with Paris-Saint Germain forward Kylian Mbappe becoming a mouthful for the Argentine defence. Little wonder an infringement against him in the South American goal area after just 10 minutes of play resulted in a penalty, which…

New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament for Akwapim South Constituency Osei Bonsu Amoah says the government may not have the luxury of time in triggering the process to have a new Chair for the Electoral Commission, Ghana (EC). He said with the removal of Charlotte Osei and two other commissioners and an impending mandatory retirement of one other before 2020, when the general elections will be held, the current Commission will find it difficult to take a decision given the lack of quorum. Mr Amoah was speaking on TV3’s New Day on Saturday during a discussion on Thursday’s decision…

Parliamentary sitting was on Friday suspended following news of the passing of the immediate past vice president of Ghana, Paa Kwesi Bekoe Amissah-Arthur. Mr Amissah-Arthur, who was Vice President from 2012 to 2017, passed away Friday morning after collapsing during a morning work-out at the Air Force Gym in Accra. He was rushed to the 37 Military Hospital but could not survive. After the news reached Parliament mid-morning Friday, sitting was immediately suspended. Leadership, consequently, proceeded to the Amissah-Arthur home at North Ridge to commiserate with the widow, Matilda, and the grieving family. But before embarking on the visit, Speaker…
