Ghanaians were pretty much shocked when news broke of the assault on a Graphic journalist by Baffour Gyan and a group of thugs, apparently angered by a question the journalist posed to Asamoah Gyan at a press conference the day before.

The Graphic reporter, Daniel Kenu, asked Asamoah about his position on rumours regarding his “involvement” in the Castro disappearance saga. The Stars skipper was quite furious over the question, and whilst he didn’t answer the assault of the journalist occurred the very next day.

Baffour Gyan and Samuel Anim Addo, Asamoah Gyan’s manager, were both arrested in connection to the case: and earlier today were granted bail by the Kumasi Circuit court hearing the case- the two are facing two counts of assault.

Reports indicate lawyers for the accused are seeking an out of court settlement, thus aside pleading with the judge for bail for their clients, also requested an adjournment of proceedings for the parties involved to work towards an amicable settlement.

The judge granted both pleas, issuing bail to Baffour Gyan and Anim Addo in the sum of GHc 30, 000 with two sureties. Proceedings were also adjourned until this Friday, September 12, 2014.

The Future of Technology is ‘Human Based Innovation’ – Samsung CEO

Samsung-Electronics

The President and CEO of Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., Boo-Keun Yoon delivered the opening keynote speech at IFA 2014 consumer electronics trade show, calling on the consumer electronics industry to agree on open industry standards so that the ‘Home of the Future’ can meet the demands of people and adapt to their unique needs and lifestyles.

“The home of the future is not about the technology, nor is it about being smart and connected,” Mr. Yoon said. “It’s about human-based innovation. It’s about technology that isn’t overwhelming and works discretely behind the scenes to adjust to consumers’ needs at the right time.”

As part of Samsung’s vision for “bringing the future home,” Mr. Yoon said the ‘Home of the Future’ will adapt to people’s needs through three key attributes, ultimately becoming a home that cares for people:

Violence in relationships should never be tolerated—no matter where it is coming from, either from the man or the woman.

Few months ago, Beyonce’s sister Solange took a hit at Jay-Z in an elevator at a hotel and the footage became the talk of the world.

It looks like the elevator beat down is trending among celebrities as a new video has emerged, showing Baltimore Ravens football player- Ray Rice punching his wife in an elevator, to the extent that the wife falls flat on her face.

The about 3 minutes video shows Ray Rice punching his then fiancee-Janay Palmerin the face twice and proceeding to drag her unconscious body out of the elevator.

Because of the above incident and a shorter version of the clip that was seen by the National Football League (NFL), Rice received a two-match ban for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy.

But now that a longer version of the video has emerged showing the extent of the battery, people have come out to condemn the NFL, asking for tougher punishment for Ray Rice

My Ordeal with the ‘FAKE’ Man of God | These Men Are Not SCARED of God

Businessman silhouette

Hello Chris-Vincent,

The Mercy of God is being taken for granted by several people and worst of them all are his own people, those who claim to working in His name for the good of His people.

I’ve heard several bad accounts from people on different men of God but until my recent encounter, I did not know from experience how some of these men of God operated.

Few years ago, someone I knew briefly in America offered to buy me through auction a cheap BMW x5 and ship it to Ghana for 15,000 dollars and since I was excited about the deal and its perfect presentation, I cleared all my accounts including my credit cards to send this guy the mentioned amount.

And after this man that I got to know through a flat mate received the money via moneygram, I did not hear from him again. That was the beginning of my many woes!

Two years after my money was gone for good, I was making dinner in the kitchen with another flatmate (a woman) when we heard a Pastor speaking on the kitchen stationed radio, saying, someone listening to him right now has been duped and he can pray to help the person get his money back.

I felt this man was referring to me and since the woman I was in the kitchen with wanted her boyfriend at the time to marry her, we decided to go and see this Pastor having taken his name and phone number from the radio show.

We called the Pastor the next day and booked for an appointment to see him. On the train, I thought about what I would do with my money when the guy finally give it back to me and how I will never send any money to anyone even if I know the person for many years to get me anything in this world. I have learned my lesson the hard way.

We saw the Pastor and told him about our problems and after listening and saying a short prayer with us, he asked that we pay 150 pounds so he can use this money to buy some oils and other things to pray for us. I was desperate and my flat mate was also so we paid this money. And that was it all. We lost the money to this man of God and we did not see any result.

Soon after, my flatmate’s boyfriend even left her and I did not hear anything from this guy who had taken my money and when I called the Pastor, he said he had  prayed for us and wonders shall happen in few days.

A Journalist Asks Asamoah Gyan a ‘STUPID QUESTION’ in Ghana & He Gets Beaten? | The Animalistic Behaviour of Third World Citizens

Asamoah Gyan-Captain of Black Star

Few days ago, it emerged that a certain journalists with Daily Graphic- Mr. Daniel Kenu had asked Ghana’s Black Stars’ captain-Asamoah Gyan a “stupid question” and apart from the fact that, Asamoah Gyan and many others were angered by the question—Asamoah Gyan’s older brother-Baffour Gyan was later reported to have gotten the journalist beaten/assaulted, by some macho men he hired.

As a strong Human Rights advocate, the above makes me wonder what sort of animals some of us are or have become, at a time when we are relentlessly fighting to move away from such barbaric happenings…

From what I’ve heard, the ‘absurd’ question the journalist asked was to get a confirmation or otherwise from Asamoah Gyan on whether he actually “sacrificed” his friend-Theophilus Tagoe popularly known as Castro for riches—considering the mystery surrounding Castro’s recent disappearance at Ada.

This question may seem unnecessary in relation to the timing but no one can totally ignore the fact that the hovering superstitions and speculations somewhat make this a valid question—and if a journalist wants to ask, he has every right, be it legal or moral to ask.

Asamoah Gyan has a RIGHT to answer or choose not to answer and for a person in his position, answering the question even if he thought it was absurd would have been the best option.

I do not think it would have taken much of his breath or taken anything away from him to have just answered with a smile by saying; that is a far-fetched superstition and nonsense; I do not know anything about this and I can never do this to anyone, talk of my own friend I love.

It is interesting to know that Asamoah Gyan has played and stayed in the United Kingdom before—and currently plays and stays in a foreign land where you have some very provocative press men well protected by Press Freedom or Freedom of Speech who could have asked this same question. And I wonder if he would have treated them the same or his brother would have proceeded to have a journalist from UK’s Mirror or Sun Newspaper beaten for asking this same question.

Such occurrences do not just bring to light our poor understanding of the most important RIGHT we may have as human beings, Freedom of Expression but also, it puts to test how much we’ve developed out of the animal skin—and more importantly, how we believe those whose words offend us must be treated.
