MOURINHO NOT ENJOYING MAN UNITED STRUGGLES.

The former manager says the current United side is no better than they were a year ago, but he isn’t reveling in their struggles after being sacked

Jose Mourinho admits he deserved to be sacked as Manchester United manager – but he isn’t enjoying watching them struggle under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

United was deservedly beaten 2-0 at West Ham on Sunday, a result which saw them drop down to eighth in the Premier League table.

The club was in sixth when Mourinho was sacked midway through last season, with fans disgruntled at what they saw as an overly defensive style of football.

I’m not the right person to answer it,” Mourinho said when asked about United’s problems.

They are far behind. It’s difficult for me to answer. I was there for two seasons where I could feel lots of positive things and I could feel the direction to go in, then obviously the third season was not good enough.

“I was sacked, I probably deserved to be sacked because I was responsible as the manager, but the sad reality is that they are worse than before. And for me, that is a sad thing. Maybe people think I’m enjoying the situation but I’m not enjoying it at all.”

EFFECT OF EATING BREAD DAILY

There is nothing wrong with eating several slices of bread. The problem comes in when we decide to have it in our diet on a daily basis. Bread is not exactly one of the healthy foods to consume. Here is why;

IThere is nothing important that we are getting from eating bread.

Especially consuming white bread that lacks fiber due to the absence of the whole grain. Bread baked out of whole grains should be something we opt for.

Contains too much salt. Most bread varieties that we buy from the supermarket contain a lot of salt. Consuming lesser bread ensures that the level of sodium in your body is significantly reduced. One can opt to bake bread at home without adding too much salt.

Makes you gain weight. Eating bread in moderation is important. It contains carbs, salt, refined sugar and preservatives that can make you add pounds. Always take time to ensure that the bread you are eating is healthy.

Will always make you feel hungry. Since most bread we eat lacks nutrients one is bound to feel hungry now and then. Basically bread is not a wholesome filling meal.

5 THINGS YOU SHOULDN’T DO WITH YOUR MONEY.

You have been dreaming of becoming the next millionaire in town. You have spent sleepless nights working on your dreams. Your efforts seem not to bear fruits. There are chances you are not making good use of the money you get. Never do these 5 things with your money, as outlined ;

1. Relying only on cash when travelling

You might be travelling to a business function. Relying on cash puts you at risk. It is recommended to carry credit cards or a cheque in the event that something bad happens while away.

2. Living above your means

Living below your means is among the tenets of wealth creation. Many have failed to achieve their dreams because they do not live below their means. You will have nothing to save if your expenditure is more than your earnings.

3. Co-sign a loan you can’t afford

Your property risk being auctioned if you sign a loan you know very well you cannot afford. Learn to avoid loans that will make your life harder. Understand the terms and conditions before asking for a loan.

4. Falling for unclear finance deals

There are some deals that look special but they are not. Understand the deal before you when seeking for funds. Some of the deals are not affordable.

5. Shopping when you’re emotional

Never shop at the time you feel very emotional. You risk buying what you never intended. Instead, go back home and come back another day

HEALTH BENEFIT OF GARLIC AND HONEY.

By combining the honey and garlic you make it more tolerable to eat raw garlic in high quantities. The honey is also loaded with health benefits and the two together can keep your immune system operating at its best.

Although garlic and honey have good benefits for the body, you should still be careful in using both. For honey, choose pure honey instead of mixed honey and do not dab garlic on your skin to avoid burns.

1. Improve the quality of your bloodstream

Garlic promotes the production of gastric juices which are essential for the correct absorption of iron. In addition to that, it’s rich in vitamins and minerals, so by consuming it you enrich your bloodstream. It also reduces cholesterol and triglyceride levels so it prevents your blood from thickening, allowing it to flow normally which helps prevent cardiovascular problems.

2. Protect your defences

Garlic helps your immune system stay stronger, helping to defend you against microbes and bacteria. It’s also important to keep your immune system in a healthy state to avoid critical conditions like cancer.

3. It helps you lose weight

Honey is very satisfying. When you consume garlic with honey on an empty stomach it nourishes you while also reducing your cravings for food. This reduces stress and the production of cortisol.

4. Reduces inflammation

If you have chronic pain, add honey and garlic to your diet. Not only would it relax you, you would need fewer painkillers or ibuprofen.

5. A source of energy

Honey will provide you with that extra shot of energy without any side effects.

I have profound respect for Otumfuo and Asanteman- Mahama

The recent statement from my office was meant to shed more light on the events surrounding the 2016 poll and not to disparage Otumfuo’s efforts at promoting national peace and unity.

I therefore find the language and commentary in the ensuing public discourse very disturbing, dikoder.com, reports.

Clearly Mr. Julius Debrah’s statement was intended to simply clarify that I never had the slightest intention of seeking to hang on to power unconstitutionally, as some media houses sought to infer from Otumfuo’s speech at the UN.

I have profound respect for Otumfuo and Asanteman and will not allow this issue to mar our long standing cordial relationship. On Otumfuo’s return home, we will take the necessary steps to bring closure to this matter.

In the meantime, I urge the general public and party members not to be baited into non-constructive flogging of this issue.

We Are Wise Now NPP Grassroots To Parliamentarians

The Eastern Regional grassroots communicators of the New Patriotic Party NPP have bemoaned the inability of their Members of Parliament across the Region to offer jobs to its supporters and how it is affecting party work at the grassroots due to the inaction of constituency executives.

The communicator’s organizer Abenbebom said the grassroots has tried on many occasions to be employed but ” anytime they go not even a single person to endorse the forms especially on the issues of car loan to the grassroots

He claimed they are wise now and the opportunity for grassroots to make a clear case and send a clear signal to many of the MP’s who had neglected the grassroots. The primaries are their power to choose the correct representatives

“You can give me a 5 kilo of rice and ghc50 as well but will vote against you because No Amount Of Money Can Buy Me. Abenbebom stated

Also, the framers of NPP party and Ghana constitution, as well as Democrats all over the world, knew that some MP’s when given the people’s power to rule and be in a comfort zone will rather neglect and ignore the people who toil for their leadership to serve this nation and their party manifesto promises

Abenbebom then advised the grassroots and delegates to change all those types of leaders who will not serve on their interest and neglect all those who go there only for their families and friends to the detriment of the party ,” let not entertain any form of begging, many of those had become tricksters ,let be careful.

” We have to take their monies and enjoy it and vote them out to serve as a lesson for others who are coming on boards or not even campaign for them during their primaries

Abenbebom finally thanked ALHAJI Opass and David Prah for their advice and supportive of the grassroots communicators’

COCOBOD SIGNS AGREEMENT TO ESTABLISH PROCESSING FACTORY.

The Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD) has signed an agreement with the China General Technology (Group) Holding (Genertec) for the establishment of a cocoa processing factory in Ghana.

The factory, which will be located at Sefwi-Wiawso in the Western North Region will be operated by COCOBOD and Genertec through a Public-Private Partnership (PPP).

Implementation of the plan for the construction of the cocoa processing factory will involve the China International Development Operating Agency, with funding from the China Development Bank (CDB) and the Sino-African Fund.

The project holds great potential to contribute significantly to the improvement of the Ghanaian economy, and particularly, for the local economy of the Sefwi-Wiawso area, said the Chief Executive of COCOBOD, Hon Joseph Boahen Aidoo, in his address to the Chinese delegation led by the country’s Ambassador to Ghana, Mr. Zhou Wang. The signing ceremony took place at the Cocoa House in Accra.

The project, Hon. Aidoo added, also has the potential to grant Ghana access to the huge Chinese market of well over a billion people. There lies a unique opportunity to reach several-million consumers of cocoa made and processed in Ghana.

“This is a project that is going to benefit both countries,” he said with some glee. “It is going to be of mutual benefit; a win-win situation. Ghana will benefit and of course, China will as well benefit.”

Hon. Aidoo said, the project will also aid in COCOBOD’s drive towards and also increase local consumption and more importantly, it fits into the agenda of the present government, that Ghana should increase its share of the USD$ 100 billion global cocoa industry through value addition to cocoa beans.

“It is a matter of taking a bigger part of the global value chain, worth over USD$ 100 billion annually. Once the comprehensive feasibility studies are completed, we are looking forward to the commencement of the project.”

On his part, Mr. Tan Xinghui, the Vice President of Genertec said the company already has some foothold in the Ghanaian cocoa sector spanning some 15 years, however, the establishment of the cocoa processing plant commences a new model of corporation between Ghana and China.

Although China has invested in other sectors of Ghana, they are yet looking for other opportunities where the two countries can cooperate for mutual profit and a deepening of relations.

“We regard Ghana as the regional hub”, Mr. Tan Xinghui added. “We believe that our portfolio in Ghana is not yet enough, so, basically we are looking forward to expanding our investment here in Ghana and that is why we are here today.”

The Chairman of the Board of Directors of COCOBOD, Mr. Hackman Owusu Agyeman, was grateful for the co-operation and was hopeful that the project will commence in due time to achieve the objective of expanding the consumption of cocoa in the country.

He was positive that the mutual relationship between the two countries will be further strengthened.

Exercise your voting rights – NCCE Boss to Ghanaians

The Chairperson of the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE), Josephine Nkrumah has called on Ghanaians not to stay away from voting ahead of the 2020 elections.

Some Ghanaians have expressed apathy towards the 2020 general elections; a situation that has been partly blamed for the low turnout in the ongoing voters’ register exhibition exercise.

However, speaking at a forum dubbed ‘Making Democracy Work for the People’ which was organized by the Centre for Democratic Development (CDD) Ghana, the NCCE boss said staying away from elections is not the solution to the problems of democracy.

“I use every opportunity to always encourage the participation of Ghanaians in democracy by exercising their voting rights. If we want a vibrant democracy as a people, we shouldn’t say that because we’re not getting what we want, we’re not going to vote. Now more than ever, we should vote.”

“This is about multi-party democracy. If you feel that you are not getting what you want from either of the two dominant parties, there are other options for you. There are other parties. So we should begin to interrogate what those other parties also present and determine whether this is a better option or not,” she stated.

The voters’ register exercise experienced low patronage and a number of challenges at the various registration centres.

JOSEPHINE NKRUMAH

Constituencies like New Juaben North and South in the Eastern Region faced the challenge of not having the needed materials supplied from the EC headquarters, thereby hindering residents from checking their details on the first day of the exercise.

A similar incident happened at the Tamale Central constituency of the Northern Region.

The Director of the Centre for Asian Studies at the University of Ghana, Dr. Lloyd Adu Amoah, at the event, urged political parties to focus on development rather than the privileges that come with being in power.

“When power is won, the next thing is the spoils of power; who gets what within the party. Our parties lose focus on those big questions; futuristic questions. So I think that there needs to be a reconfiguration of the overall mindset and philosophy in terms of our parties in Ghana,” the Director said.

EC extends voters’ register exhibition exercise

The Electoral Commission has subsequently extended the voters’ register exhibition exercise.

The exercise started on September 10, 2019, and was expected to end on September 17, 2019.

A statement signed by Acting Director of Public Affairs at the EC, Sylvia Annor said the exercise will now end on September 20th, 2019.
