Well, I don’t believe at all, that they are, and I am tempted to assume that the Ghanaian Times, perhaps, blew their reactions to the recent happenings in Libya out of proportion. Well, maybe not. And I may be wrong. Apologies to our MPs, but they are outraged and so what? How does that save our brothers and sisters? But, how could they have been outraged?

Former President John Agyekum Kufuor, a Freemason and Senior Grand Warden of the United Grand Lodge of England, says the Craft of Freemasonry is about charity, transparency and accountability in advancing the cause of humanity. Therefore, he said, those who desired to promote these tenets and principles must acquire knowledge and understanding in order to espouse them well. He said Freemasonry was an ancient craft and hitherto, it was almost a taboo to talk about it publicly because the ‘High-and Mighty’ and the ‘Powers-that-be’ in society at that time, wanted to expunge it. This is because they did not understand…

But as a grown woman, you’ve learned your vagina is pretty resilient and totally flexible—after all, it can stretch to accommodate everything from a tampon, to a penis, to a human baby. Still, no matter how wise you may be about your lady parts, chances are you may still feel confused about what’s going on down there from time to time, especially when it comes to how your vagina…

The General Agricultural Workers Union, an umbrella of the Ghana Trades Union Congres, has asked government to cancel the celebration of farmers’ day as a statutory public holiday, arguing it has no significance to the country’s hardworking farmers and fishers. “The holiday has no significance to farmers. Farmers per their nature of work do not need a specific day through legislation as holiday. The holiday does not benefit them,” GAWU said in a statement to congratulate farmers on the occasion of this year’s celebration Friday, December 1. Following the vital role played by farmers and fishers in lifting Ghana’s economy…
