MUST READ: Just One More Point Of Separation | Ghana’s Current Religious Divide in Education Taking Focus Off What’s Most Important

It’s the issue that has been raging the most the past fortnight or so. It has raised fundamental questions about the freedom of association as enshrined in our constitution; and has caused so much furore the President addressed it in both his State of the Nation and Independence Day speeches to the nation.

I refer, of course, to the brouhaha surrounding the question of whether students of differing faiths in our educational institutions should be forced to partake in activities not of their faith.

It has become such a contentious issue, with claims and counter claims by adherents to both Christianity and Islam. The Christians are essentially saying ‘if you go to Rome, you do what Romans do’, the Muslims are saying this is a secular state and one should not be forced to adhere to the tenets of a religion they do not believe in. The argument rages on with neither side ready to budge an inch.

The root cause of all these, of course, is religion. Good old Christianity and Islam, just another point of division in a country chock full of them already.

A Menaye Donkor fan has just written in to tell GhanaCelebrities.Com that, the wife of Ghanaian footballer-Sulley Muntari is pregnant—and she is pulling “Nadia Buari” on us all…

Of course everything is possible and the fact that Menaye Donkor’s mother-in-law nearly ended the marriage to her son over Menaye’s inability to give her a grandchild means this a good news to the Menaye and Sulley family—that is if the fan is not just turning wishes into reality.

According to the fan who wants to be known as Adwoa, her sister is a friend of Menaye Donkor and yesterday when they were discussing Nadia Buari’s twins, the sister mentioned that Menaye Donkor is also pregnant and she wants to keep a lot of people in the dark, especially the media.

Few months ago, we reported that Menaye Donkor has been trying to get pregnant without any success—contrary to people’s speculation that the former Beauty Queen is intentionally failing to give Sulley Muntari a child despite her age…

How much money do you make in an entire year?

There has been a lot of talk about on-going scam and fraud relating to police recruitment in Ghana for the last one week—with several fraudster having been arrested.

Adwoa N.B Writes: 58 Years & Counting…Still We Cannot Provide the Basics

Ghana
Ghana

Growing up, I had always heard the voices of my parents state that they would one day love to return to motherland Ghana. The quest of greener pastures to the shores of North America or Europe by my parents and other family members provided a sense of hope and prosperity for  for many… To some, providing more than what mother Ghana at the time could have provided. Was it wrong for some of our forefathers to think this way? leaving family, friends and or loved ones back home to make due with whatever they had?

Living in ABROKYERE, is not necessarily the easy life. Thanks to the use of social media, internet and international news reports, the rest of the world also plays the role of a witness to the pressures and vices presented within these environments.

Many a times, I question.. is it all worth it?

Being a Black individual, I have always wondered if my color played a factor in the numerous refusal of work, whether my car is being followed based on a sincere suspicion or if my identity plays a role. Sometimes, I wonder why I am being followed in a store, when I probably have more money in my account than the person actually following me.

On the positive flip side, one must be truthful and say that the systems in some of the countries we face the above challenges do work. The implementation of taxes, constant maintenance of roads, cleanliness of the environment, effective healthcare system and make back home a hell of a joke. What does the White man do right that we as Africans can’t seem to get?

My ancestral home being mother-land Ghana, visiting often, I would sometimes say to myself; Why don’t more of us move back home to help in moving ahead? The main objective should be, to aid in the fixing of the never ending day to day issues which live with government to government and term to term. But then reality sets in and I ask..how do we go home?

Here is a list of the many issues that I think are of great concern;

University Student Falls to Death Whilst Possessed By ‘Holy Spirit’ During Prayer Session Held On School Roof

OMG
OMG

It sounds incredulous when you think about it but this is where we’ve gotten to; where students would not only hold service on a rooftop but one gets possessed by the ‘holy spirit’ leading to her plunging off the top to her death.

The student has been identified as Benedicta Aidoo, a first year student of the All Nations University College in the Eastern Region, according to myjoyonline.

A member of the campus Prayer and Evangelism group, they were holding a prayer session on the roof of the building when the ‘holy spirit’ was said to have descended on her. She therefore started jumping around, as people are wont to do when that particular divine affliction strikes them; oblivious to the fact she was on a rooftop.

Other students say despite several attempts to stop her, she kept jumping around till she fell off the roof, onto an old tractor parked near the building.
