    HEALTHS BENEFITS OF TIGER NUTS…

    A lot of Ghanaians are fascinated with tiger nuts for reasons best known to them.

    Word on the street, however, is that the Atadwe as it is called in Twi helps to solve erectile dysfunction and most traditional healers apparently recommend this to their patients with such conditions.

    We cannot confirm or deny if the tiger nut helps you to “rise up” properly as a man though, what we know, however, is that tiger nut contains Vitamin E and this helps the sperms to move actively to fertilize the eggs.

    This is probably what fascinates the men and causes them to continually make a fuss about tiger nut.

    Tiger Nuts go a long way in being beneficial to everyone and not just the Men.

    Aside from Vitamin E, Atadwe also contains high fibre content. A diet high in fibre helps with your blood sugar control, weight loss as well

    Here are 6 emerging health benefits of tiger nuts.

    GUTA THREATENS TO HIT STREET

    The government has been urged to make a definite pronouncement that will quell the rising tension between Ghanaian Traders and their foreign counterparts, particularly those from neighboring Nigeria in the retail trade arena.

    The Ghana Union of Traders Association (GUTA) in the Ashanti region, are threatened to stage a Massive Demonstration against gov’t over foreigners infiltrating local business in the country.

    “He has described the recent closure of Nigeria’s trade borders to Benin and other neighboring countries as Ghana as an outright breach of ECOWAS treaties.

    According to the Public Relations Officer of the Association, Mr. Albert Mensah Offei said, failure on the part of the Foreign Affairs Ministry as well as the ECOWAS parliament to put the member state in check is enough evidence of all treaties and protocols under ECOWAS being ineffective.

    “Nigeria has blatantly flouted ECOWAS protocol if there is even something like that. Surprisingly, the foreign affairs ministry has failed to deal with this issue and for two months Ghanaian goods have been locked up in Nigeria.

    This act by the Nigerian government nullifies the entire ECOWAS Treaty on the free movement of people and goods,” he said.

    “We will stage a massive demonstration against the government, if he refused to address our Challenges.

    Mourinho Rejected Lyon as He Has ‘Already Chosen Another Club.

    Jose Mourinho turned down Lyon’s approach to become their new manager because he has already found another club, according to president Jean-Michel Aulas.

    We had some fairly flattering exchanges over text, Aulas stated. “It was nice for everyone. He did not accept our proposal to meet because he has already chosen another club.

    Ligue 1 heavyweights Lyon sacked Sylvinho on Monday after just one win in his last nine matches at the helm and Aulas had identified Mourinho as a target to take the helm.

    Sylvinho’s arrival coincided with the return of club icon Juninho Pernambucano as sporting director in pre-season. 

    Aulas confirmed the decision to dismiss the former Manchester City and Barcelona defender came from Juninho, with Sylvinho’s perceived negative brand of football doing little to endear himself.

    Dembele Handed 2-Match Ban; Set to Miss El Clasico

    Barcelona winger Ousmane Dembele is out of the Clasico meeting with Real Madrid after he was handed a two-match domestic suspension for his comments towards referee Mateu Lahoz.

    Lionel Messi and head coach Ernesto Valverde had defended the former Borussia Dortmund star’s actions, claiming that he doesn’t speak Spanish well, suggesting that his punishment should be reduced as a result.

    However, the Spanish Football Federation has upheld a two-game ban, meaning that Dembele will miss the league matches against Eibar and Real Madrid, subject to any appeal from the Catalans.

    It is the latest setback in the 22-year-old’s Barcelona career, which has yet to really ignite since moving from Dortmund in the summer of 2017.

  • 5 Million Employed in Illegal Mining Sector – Report

    5 Million Employed in Illegal Mining Sector – Report

    Five million Ghanaians are directly and indirectly employed in the illegal mining sector, which is popularly called galamsey, a new report by the Institute of Statistical Social and Economic Research (ISSER) of the University of Ghana has revealed.

    The report, dubbed: “Ghana Social Development Outlook (SDO) 2018” has, therefore, urged the government to re-examine the sector by streamlining it instead of banning the activities of those involved in the sector.

    In an interview after the launch of the report at the University of Ghana in Accra, the Coordinator of the Social Development Outlook at ISSER, Dr. Elizabeth A. Asante, said putting a total ban on galamsey meant that five million people were going to be put out of a job.

    According to her, the government could prevent job losses in the galamsey sector by ensuring that the activities of the illegal miners were properly regulated.

    You are putting five million people out of a job when you criminalised galamsey,” Dr. Asante said, pointing out that “and we are asking you (the government) to reconsider it; why don’t you regularise the galamsey sector?

    She explained that when illegal miners (galamseyers) were taught on what to do and what not to do, it would help to protect the country’s environment whilst creating job opportunities for the various people whose livelihoods depended on the sector.

  • Dybala Never Wanted to Leave Juventus

    Dybala Never Wanted to Leave Juventus

    Paulo Dybala has reaffirmed his commitment to Juventus after a summer in which he came close to a move away from Turin.

    Dybala has been reintegrated back into Maurizio Sarri’s squad, however, and has helped Juve to make a strong start to the season. The reigning Italian champions are top of Serie A and unbeaten in all competitions.

    They also beat title rivals Inter at San Siro on Sunday, with Dybala and fellow former castaway Gonzalo Higuain both on the scoresheet. Dybala scored a fantastic opener barely five minutes in, smashing into the far corner past the desperate dive of Samir Handanovic.

    Dybala has claimed that he always wanted to stay and fight for his place at Juve, saying.I have not experienced an easy summer. Obviously hearing your name linked with every team you don’t want to go to is not a nice thing, but this is football.

    Before the market started I had already done an interview in which I said I wanted to stay in Turin, then I never spoke again, not even at the Copa America.

    I think it’s more important to talk on the field, with facts. You never know how the market goes until the last day, but I wanted to stay here, I wanted to continue my career at Juventus.

    I think I can still give so much to this shirt and I’m very happy with what I showed against Inter.

    Pochettino says Spurs’ Chairman Levy Still Backs Him

    Mauricio Pochettino has said that he still has a very good relationship with Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy, despite his side’s disappointing start to the season.

    After their 3-0 defeat to Brighton at the weekend – a game in which, to make matters worse, Hugo Lloris sustained a serious elbow injury – Spurs have won two of their last five games in the Premier League and are currently ninth in the table.

    Speaking at the Aspire Academy global summit in Qatar, Pochettino suggested that he and Levy still share strong mutual respect.

    We maintain a very good relationship and it is extraordinary to have that support, I have always told him that, in addition to my chairman, I consider him a friend.

    Football is not a drama, it is passion and we cannot separate it from emotions, he went on, but neither can we make a sport as fantastic as this one [all about] the latest result.

    We must learn from defeats to be able to exceed our limits and that begins by accepting that you don’t always win and that the opponent also works hard and [has] merits.

    You must always react with dignity to the result, regardless of whether it is good or bad.

  • Gareth Bale is Angry and Wants to Leave Real Madrid.

    Gareth Bale is Angry and Wants to Leave Real Madrid.

    Real Madrid forward Gareth Bale is angry and fed up at the Spanish giants and wants to leave the club.

    Gareth Bale is fed up,He can do this no longer. At a time when he began to stand out, knowing that as he plays matches his fitness would be sharpened, he suddenly had to watch the game against Bruges in the stands. Nobody knows why.

    He is angry, confused. When Zidane returned to the club, he decided he did not want Bale, without anyone having offered a clear reasoning. Bale was told that Zidane, with whom he has a professional relationship, had made an unequivocal decision and was preparing for his departure.

    His agent, Jonathan Barnett, set out to find his alternative options, but Bale preferred – ahead of any other possibility – to remain at the club.

    Bale had been set to join the Chinese Super League side Jiangsu Suning on a three-year contract in the summer – earning a reported £1m a week – but Real canceled the deal because they wanted a transfer fee.

    According to a report, Welshman does not quite understand is why the doors were opened, and then they did not let him go. Madrid agreed not to charge a transfer fee to the Chinese side Jiangsu Suning, but ultimately they backed down because they believed that another Chinese team was willing to pay a large amount for James Rodriguez, a rumor that ended up being false.

    Bale has played well in recent weeks – partly because he is angry – in response to the distance and coldness with which the coach treats him, and he has finally rebelled at his situation.

    In July, Real manager Zinedine Zidane said we hope he leaves soon a comment to which Bale’s agent Jonathan Barnett replied: “Zidane is a disgrace – he shows no respect for a player that has done so much for Real Madrid.
