Ghanaian nurses being taught how to master and practice d0ggy style in the classroom
A viral video on social media gives an account of Ghanaian nurses being taught how to practise and master doggy style in the classroom.
These nurses are being introduced to the other aspects of sexual education where they are made to understand the various sexual positions and how they can replicate them.
The video reveals a set of nurses being taught how to bend and position their bums to make the doggy style more pleasurable and effortless.
This piece of somewhat educative video has caused a stir on social media with many raising concerns over the qualify of education these nurses get before they are enrolled into the health sector to take care of patients.
Many believe the education nurses receive in the country must be revised so these individuals are taken through the rudimentary of health care in order for them to be as professional as they could.
No wonder most nurses are in the bad books of Ghanaians considering how lackadaisical they are about their duties and the quantum of time they waste away on social media.
The Paramount Chief of Nkoranza Traditional Area, Nana Kwame Baffoe IV, has stated that President Akufo-Addo’s reputation of resilience and courage has been exemplified in the unprecedented achievements achieved, thus far, by his administration in the Nkoranza Traditional Area.
The Nkoranza Chief made this known on Monday, 8th August 2021, when the President of the Republic paid a courtesy call on him at his palace, as part of his 2-day working visit to the Bono East region.
According to Nana Kwame Baffoe IV, the decision to decentralize state institutions beyond the regional capital, resulting in the establishment of the Regional Education Directorate in Nkoranza and the Health Directorate in Kintampo, all under the Nkoranza Traditional area, remains the single most well-thought-through idea to equitably develop every part of the country.
In addition to this, he indicated that the construction of a dining hall, a 12-unit classroom block, an assembly hall, and a 2-unit girls dormitory block for Nkoranza Technical Institute, together with the construction of 16 other 3-unit classroom blocks across the district in the first term of the President “is truly unprecedented.”
In the health sector, the Chief was grateful for the inclusion of Nkoranza North as a beneficiary district in Agenda 111.
He also expressed his appreciation to Government for the construction of a new nurses’ quarters in Tumiebu, a Maternity Block at Dromankese, and the provision of an ambulance for Nkoranza.
On roads, Nana Kwame Baffoe IV thanked the President for the commencement of phase 2 works on the Jema Nkwanta-Asekye road, which, when completed, will shed off some three (3) hours off normal trips between the North, Bono East, and Ashanti regions, and also for steady progress of work on the Yefri, Boana and the Tanoboase road that links Nkoranza.
On agriculture, which is the main stay of the people in the area, he said the new warehouses at Yefri and Donkro Nkwanta will eliminate post-harvest losses, adding that the supply of 100,000 cashew seedlings yearly to tree crop farmers was a welcome initiative.
President Akufo-Addo, prior to his visit to the palace of the Nkoranza Paramount Chief, also paid a courtesy call on the Omanhene of Techiman, Oseadeayo Ameyaw Akumfi IV, and inspected ongoing work on an 18-unit classroom block for the Techiman Senior High School.
The President also commissioned staff bungalows for staff of the Bono East Regional Co-ordinating Council, and also commissioned a two-storey assembly complex building in Nkoranza for the Bono East Regional Co-ordinating Council.
Henry Nana Boakye, Youth Organizer of the ruling New Patriotic Party, NPP, has averred that persons behind the #FixTheCountry protests have been badly exposed with respect to their motives.
“The #FixTheCountry people have been badly exposed… We had just come out of the elections and there were COVID-19 issues, it did not take long before we heard about fix the country.
“Let us remember that John Dramani Mahama’s election petition also took about two months. It was barely two months after President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo had taken his oath and in March 2021, I heard #FixTheCountry,” he said on Okay FM’s Morning Show late last week.
He, however, admits that there is difficulty in the system but that it is also very exciting to know that the government has plans to employ some 11,000 plus people.
He cautioned politicians to be careful about their pronouncements and added that he was in favour of any counter group that will project the good works of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and the NPP government.
Political activist, Kwame Asare Obeng (A-Plus) has pooh-poohed Captain Smart’s libation pouring exercise during the #FixTheCountry demonstration.
The protest, organized on August 4 by some Ghanaians in their quest to register their displeasure over hardship that has engulfed them, saw the celebrated broadcaster invoke the spirit of Ghana’s first president Dr. Kwame Nkrumah with bottles of schnapps.
Captain Smart, clad in a white t-shirt with inscriptions, a red cap, and a Ghana flag around his neck, pleaded with Nkrumah to unleash wisdom on national leaders. He also asked spirits gathered to deal mercilessly with persons who intend to steal from the state.
Making a submission on UTV’s United Showbiz, Saturday, A-Plus who was conspicuously missing from the demonstration indicated that Captain Smart’s action was pointless.
“Someone is pouring libation and invoking the spirit of Kwame Nkrumah. For what?” A-Plus questioned.
The convenor of The People’s Project (TPP), without mincing words, labeled the demonstration exercise as “jogging” insisting that it had no focus.
“The era of shouting has ended. I don’t go jogging or keep fit; my understanding of exercising and demonstration are two different things… Let’s get serious in this country. What was the plan, what is the end game?” A-Plus argued.
“You cannot change a constitution by holding a placard and standing by the roadside. I agree there should be demonstrations in the country but I’m telling you that the demonstration must have an end goal. That is why we go to school to learn decentralization and local governance. It is important to create awareness but that has been created over and over again.
“Next year, there’s going to be district-level elections. What is the plan of the youth knowing the assemblymen and district committee are the parliamentarians for the district assembly? What is the plan of people to go and take assemblyman position so that they control the assembly?” A-Plus added.
The much-talked-about #FixTheCountry demonstration finally came off on August 4 in Accra with hundreds taking to the streets to demand good governance, accountability, as well as better living conditions from the Akufo-Addo administration.
Before the demonstration saw the light of day, it was hit with hiccups. On May 6, for instance, the Ghana Police Service secured an injunction from the High Court using COVID-19 induced restrictions as the excuse to stop a planned demonstration.

The problem with politicians and political parties owning media outfits (radio, TV, etc.) is that they are able to do propaganda as much as they want, project their parties and political ideologies, whether good or bad, and inevitably misinform and miseducate the public. Even when they don’t have their own radio or TV stations, they end up contracting some media personalities who then cultivate the corrupt habit of turning a blind eye to or sidestepping major issues and asking frivolous questions when they get the opportunity.
How many media houses and media personalities are talking about Government’s corrupt dealings in the Ghanaian oil and gas sector?
Take a good look at the Volta Region for instance. There are no less than 4 radio stations owned by NPP party people and despite the attempt to be unbiased in their reportage and during their morning shows, you can still see where they are headed and what the long term-term strategy is.
Even radio stations that claim to be unaffiliated to political parties, end up inviting only NDC and NPP reps on their morning shows. I don’t even know who told them that you can’t have a morning show and discussions without NPP-NDC reps in the studio.
It’s mediocre really and a tacit promotion and endorsement of the duopoly.
We need experts discussing national and topical issues, not NDC and NPP representatives.
You owe us, the public, that duty. We don’t want politically biased takes on issues, we need expert opinions.
Edmund Burke said the Fourth Estate is the most powerful, most important and most influential among the four arms of government, and he is right.
politicians
The media can affect and influence public participation in politics, serve as a platform to educate or miseducate the masses, and when political persons and parties start owning media houses, that’s when the public is deceived, becomes less politically conscious, and not able to think and see the duopoly for what it is.
A political pact that desires to keep the general populace ignorant in order to perpetuate their stranglehold on Ghanaian politics.
If we are ever going to reverse the damage politically biased journalism is causing in Ghana, we need to own media outfits and also make judicious use of the internet and word-of-mouth.
If you can’t fight the information wars, forget it. You are not making inroads and you can’t get enough people informed and moving in opposition to the duopoly.
Get people and groups signed up, develop a clear strategy, put an organizational structure in place, democratize every decision making process, and then move.
This fight is bigger than any of us, but you can’t discount the role of individuals, you can’t alienate anyone. You shouldn’t.

Sharing the video, Obofowaa indicated a variation in their titles as compared to the regular development chief.
Though the chieftaincy titles for Obofour and Ciara are in the concept of a development chief, they will be known as Aboafourhene and Aboafourhemaa (helping chief and queen) respectively. “Ladies and Gentleman meet your newly crowned king and queen.

The constitution of the Eighth Parliament in January this year, Prof Henry Kwesi Prempeh, Executive Director of the Ghana Centre for Democratic Development (CDD-Ghana) who had flagged the appointment of Members of Parliament (MPs) to management boards of state-owned enterprises as a bad governance practice and urged the President and the Speaker to ensure that such appointments are not done has been left disappointed as the practice has persisted.
Nana Akuffo Addo and Hon.Albin Bagbin
According to Prof Henry Kwesi Prempeh, he said that appointing MPs to state corporate bodies undermined the oversight responsibility of Parliament and was not a sound corporate governance practice. He called on the President to end the bad practice, stressing that if the President failed to end it, the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin could end it by refusing MPs the opportunity to be both MPs and members of boards of state enterprises.
“The appointment of MPs to state corporate boards is antithetical to good governance. It undermines both Parliament’s oversight role and sound corporate governance in the SOE sector. It must stop. Having MPs double as Ministers in our system is bad enough, but that, for now, is what our Constitution mandates. MPs as board members is not compelled by the Constitution or by best practice, and it has zero, indeed negative, governance value.
The President must end this bad practice in the interest of good governance, or, failing that, the Speaker must exercise his prerogative under Article 98(2) of the Constitution to disallow it. This is low-hanging fruit when it comes to reforming the way we do business in this town,” Prof Prempeh had written.
Henry Kwesi Prempeh
With the recent appointment of the Members of Parliament(MPs) to boards, notably the MP for Effutu as the board chair of the Ghana Road Fund, the issue of the inappropriateness of such appointments has resurfaced.
“And here was I thinking Speaker Bagbin could put the brakes on this practice,” Prof Prempeh said while referencing his earlier appeal to him to stop the practice.
Meanwhile, several boards of state corporate bodies remain unconstituted and it is expected that some more MPs will be appointed to serve on those boards.

Jacob Zuma moved to an outside hospital for ‘routine observation’, says prison authority

The department of correctional services said on Friday that former president Jacob Zuma has been admitted to an outside hospital for medical observation.
Zuma, who was sentenced last month to a 15-month jail term for contempt of court, has been medically supervised by staff from the SA Military Health Services since his admission at the Estcourt Correctional Centre.
“A routine observation prompted that Mr Zuma be taken for in-hospitalisation,” said spokesperson Singabakho Nxumalo.
The JGZ Foundation, which speaks on behalf of the former president and his family, downplayed Zuma’s move from the prison to hospital.
In a short statement posted on its social media page, the foundation said the 79–year-old Zuma “is attending to his annual medical routine check-up. No need to be alarmed … yet.”
Zuma began serving the prison sentence on July 8 on the order of the Constitutional Court after repeatedly snubbing a call to appear at the commission of inquiry into state capture. He is classified as a “short-term low-risk inmate”.
Two weeks ago, he joined his family for the funeral of his brother Michael, in Nkandla, after he was granted compassionate leave.
When asked how Zuma was doing in jail, his son Edward said at the time that while there were a few things his father was not happy with, he was doing well. “He is in top spirits.”
President Nana Akufo-Addo says despite the unfortunate events that led to the exit of Martin Amidu as Special Prosecutor, he does not regret appointing him.
The former Attorney General, Mr Amidu was appointed to lead the fight against corruption for seven years, but nearly three years after he had been sworn into office, the Special Prosecutor (SP), resigned.
Mr Amidu cited what he described as “political interference in the independence of his office” as the main reason for his decision to leave office.
Additionally, he said, his office was given inadequate staff who were mostly on secondment, a situation that made it nearly impossible for his outfit to effectively carry out its functions.
On the 4th floor of the Jubilee House, President Akufo-Addo sworn into office 43-year-old legal practitioner, Kissi Agyabeng, for a seven-year mandate as Special Prosecutor.
Describing him as highly qualified, the President charged him to fight corruption independently.
“Kissi Agyabeng comes into office with the needed capacity, experience and values and I am very confident he will do a good job and we in the executive will respect the independence of his office and will provide the office with the needed support to enable him work efficiently,” he said.
The President also assured government will increase budgetary support to other anti-corruption institution to help with the fight against the canker.
Kissi Agyabeng
Mr Agyabeng takes office as the second special prosecutor.
According to his profile on the University of Ghana School Of Law website, Mr Agyabeng has been a lecturer since October 2006, teaching and researching Criminal Law, International Humanitarian Law, International Law, Corporate Law and Legal Research and Writing.
He was awarded the Bentsi-Enchill Prize for Best Graduating Student of the University Of Ghana School Of Law in 2001.
He proceeded to the Ghana School of Law and was called to the Ghana Bar in October 2003, earning the E.N. Sowah Memorial Prize for Best Student in Family Law.
Since then, he has successfully argued numerous cases before the superior courts of Ghana and participated in several international arbitration hearings.
Mr Agyebeng has a wide range of expertise in consulting for public sector institutions, including the A-G’s Department, EXIM Bank Ghana Ltd, the Youth Employment Authority, the National Lottery Authority, the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation, the Ghana Trade Fair Company Limited, and the Ghana Olympic Committee.
He is also an associate at the African Centre for Cyber Law and Cyber Crime Prevention and the National Moot Court Coordinator for the Commonwealth Moot Court Competition on International Criminal Justice.
He has also served as the Vice-Chairman of the Appeals Committee of the Ghana Football Association.
