Over a short but steady period of time, actress Lydia Forson has metamorphosed from one of the intellectual pillars of the celebrity world to a pathetic beta version of Akuapem Poloo. From writing critical theses about societal ills, Lydia has now been reduced to peddling her flesh for the chance to trend on social media … Read more
Today is the fourth anniversary of the hiring of our Managing Editor, Godwin Nii-Armah Okine.
In exactly a week’s time the 2018 FIFA World Cup kicks off in Russia. Four years ago to the day, also with just about a week to go before the commencement of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, a young, fresh faced journalist just out of school was hired to write about Ghana’s participation in the mundial for this portal, GhanaCelebrities.Com.
In recent times and with the booming of the mobile money business, scammers looking to take advantage of it have risen in huge numbers.
Over the years they have developed different kinds of scams which they use to try and dupe the unsuspecting customer, and one of their most long running ones has been the ‘mistaken deposit’ scam.
Legendary Ghanaian music producer Hammer of the Last Two Music Group has revealed that his switch to selling A1 Bread has made him a hell of a lot more money than he ever made during his career in showbiz.
Hammer, known for his groundbreaking beats and discovering some of the biggest stars this industry has ever seen, appeared on Starr Fm recently to talk about his mini career switch and the benefits he has been accruing since becoming a bread salesman.
It’s a cliche of sorts that the youth are the future leaders of a nation, which is a simple fact because we would definitely grow up and take over the leadership of the nation.
But being the future leaders of a nation, which is simply a matter of time, is not the same as being the FUTURE of that nation.
Ghanaians have gotten their panties in a bunch because President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, speaking to Al Jazeera, failed to validate their worst homophobic impulses by actually giving a reasoned answer to the question of gay rights.
Akufo-Addo did not endorse homos*xuality, as some are pretending he did, but he did not personally denounce it either. He simply said Ghanaians are against it and that one day if enough pressure arose, it might become legalized.
What the recent gay marriage legalisation in the United States has brought about is the rekindling of the eternal faith vs the state debate.
Most religious people, especially those from the Abrahamic religions, love to say that they deserve a sort of special treatment because their worldview is what has shaped our societies. They like to tell us that without their bible and their religion we would have devoured each other to oblivion, and that religion is the only thing that has reined in man’s excesses.
Ignoring the inconvenient fact that a great deal of man’s worst wars and persecutions have been in the name of God, that worldview still remains factually incoherent. The bible is not some great book of moral teachings.
Whilst the Old Testament is possibly the most repugnant book ever written, Leviticus and Deuteronomy definitely are.
So whenever someone tells you our morality comes from Judeo-Christian values, they are selling you a load of bollocks. To demonstrate that, I am going to take the most often held up document of morality, the Ten Commandments, and prove that they scarcely guide our lives.
I would prove to you that they barely guide the lives of Christians themselves, so there is no way that we derive our morality and laws from them.
I present to you, the not so moral Ten Commandments.
