Every year, at least 50 pupils at the Lawui D/A Primary School in the Akatsi South District of the Volta Region, are unable to further their education to Junior High School after completing Primary six. The reason being that the community has no JHS facility as the Lawui D/A Primary School which is the only school that provides basic education to children from nine other surrounding villages cannot accommodate more pupils. Apart from lacking JHS blocks, pupils are forced to learn under sheds roofed with straws because the two 3-unit classroom blocks are not enough to accommodate the over 350 kindergarten and primary school pupils. The headteacher and staff of the school have no office. They sit under a tree, a situation which is reportedly making teaching and learning difficult.                         Teachers sit under this tree Mr. Peter Senu, Headmaster of the school, laments how most of the students drop out of school due to the lack of JHS facility in t

Behind every love relationship, there is either a beautiful or sad story, and meeting one’s life partner depends mostly on the places the individual frequently visits.  While some meet their lovers at the church, others find theirs at the club, school, weddings and other ceremonies, workplaces and in several mysterious ways. Private legal practitioner, Maurice Ampaw also has an interesting story to tell about how and when he fell in love with his companion and the mother of his children. He is one of those men who fell in love at first sight and was slept off his feet by the magic and beauty of the lady. In an interview with Kwaku Sintim-Misa popularly known as KSM on the “BO ME NKOMO” show, Maurice Ampaw said he met his wife while on his way to school. He said the then 16-year-old girl was on her way to purchase local red oil popularly known as Zomi for her mother. “I identified her when she was 16 and I was 21. I was passing by to Aburi Secondary School

Private legal practitioner, Maurice Ampaw has disclosed the amount commercial sex workers charge for their services. According to the “Celebrity Lawyer”, the amount charged by prostitutes depends on the type of sex and how long the man wants to last during the intercourse. He said, some of the prostitutes take GHC50 which is the cheapest amount, for sex that does not involve kissing, touching and fondling.  “I have done research on that and I know that some of the prostitutes take GHC50 for short time; even that one there’s no kissing and touching involved and it lasts for at most two minutes,” he said. Mr. Ampaw explained that, for a man to have a full night with a prostitute and be able to satisfy his libido, he is required to pay not less than GHC150.  “We also have full night. That one you can play all the sexual games with the lady. They charge from at least GHC150 and GHC200, and even some charge in dollars,” he revealed. Lawyer Maurice Ampaw was speaking on “BO ME NKOMO” wi

Officials of the Ghana International Bank have said the Bank has no evidence of money laundering against Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, debunking media reports that suggest otherwise. They said the ongoing tribunal hearing that has gained much public attention, has nothing to do with the Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, as it is about the former Executive Director of the bank, Mark Arthur’s breach of the Bank’s internal policies and procedures. Clarifying the Asantehene’s involvement in the money laundering case, the bank in a statement said, “There has never been any suggestion by the Bank that the King was or is involved in money laundering. In fact, we have no evidence to that effect. The bank has also not in any of its submissions questioned the integrity of the King.” It further stated, “The Bank never mentioned the King nor identified him in any of the documents submitted to the Tribunal in its defence.” Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II became a subject of discussion in both

The Bible strictly warned of the signs of the end time, which clearly indicates that in the last days, there would be fake pastors and miracle workers and many who call him lord but are not his servants. This scripture in the Bible seems to be manifesting in today’s Christian worship as the rate at which “fake” prophets are evolving and people craving for signs and wonders is very alarming and a cause to worry. Many Christians have developed the habit of demanding miracles from their pastors which explains why they end up being conned by these pastors they so much trust and revere.  Most of these fake pastors are capitalising on the weaknesses of their followers by conspiring with people to forge sickness or claim to be in difficulties so they can publicly perform miracles and gain more attention. This is exactly what happened to a 20-year-old woman. The nursing trainee student, narrating her story on Accra-based Vision 1 FM, said she was invited by her friend
