My husband is not perfect, but I am a proud wife – Empress Gifty

Empress Gifty has replied to rumors that her husband is a chronic cheat and womanizer. According to Gifty, her husband is not perfect, but she is proud to be called his wife.

A video of Empress Gifty ranting on social media has caught our eye. In the video, a livid Empress Gifty has spilled all the tea on her previous marriage and her current husband’s extracurricular activities.

She said, “Ghanaians, I said if you blog about me, I will not go to your page to reply. I would come to my page and put you in your place. I will also tell you the truth. Now let me describe the husband that I have. I don’t have a perfect man, I don’t have the richest man, I don’t have a handsome man, but I have a God-fearing man.

“My husband is a politician. My husband has the freedom to go wherever he wants to go. I am a wife. What I need to do is to respect my husband’s decision. And that is why the Bible said, husband, love your wife. And wife submit. So that is what I am doing. If you see me glowing, it is inner peace. It is not money. I am the only legal Mrs Adorye.”

“What did you say my husband has done? Does he go from hostels to hotels? Oh sister, is that all you have to say? You said he has a sugar mummy? I pity you.

Empress Gifty continued

“I have not told you that I have a perfect man. I never said I have a rich husband, no. I am happy and honoured that my husband can enjoy my success. Because before, they don’t even eat the food I cook. So today, if I have something and my husband is using it, I am happy. I am a proud wife, Mrs Adorye.”

Halt the – Introduction of “Zoom Nurses”-GRNMA to Gov’t, GHS

HALT THE RE-INTRODUCTION OF “ZOOM NURSES”-GRNMA TO GOV’T, GHS

The Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA) says they are unhappy about the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed between the Ghana Health Service (GHS) and the Youth Employment Agency (YEA) for the re-introduction of the modular Six (6) month training for Community Health Workers (Zoom Nurses).

According to the Leadership of the Association, the International Council of Nurses (ICN) defines a nurse as a person who has completed a program of basic, generalised nursing education and is authorised by the appropriate regulatory authority to practice nursing in his/her country.

Speaking to the First Chairman of the Ashanti Regional Branch of the Association today, Mr. Philimon Adu Brempong said, they are worried about the constant efforts of stakeholders, especially successive governments to adulterate the nursing profession.

He said the Association is therefore entreating stakeholders and the general public to desist from attaching the name “nurse” to any undertrained person who attains a Six-month training or less and parade himself or herself as a nurse.

Nursing is a noble profession and requires extensive training to become part of the profession.

“We have over Fourteen Thousand (14,000) qualified Nurses and Midwives who are awaiting government ployment thus the GRNMA is urging government and the necessary stakeholders to employ these professionals instead of the Six-month training to unqualified persons to become part of the service”, Mr. Adu told Nana Ampratwum on Silver FM’s Omanbapa Morning Show.

He added that instead of committing new funds to train the Community Health Workers (Zoom Nurses), those funds should be channeled into the issuance of the Financial Clearance to employ those awaiting employment who have the requisite skills and knowledge to help the country especially in it’s fight against the COVID 19 pandemic.

He finally called on the government to as a matter of urgency halt the Re-introduction of the Community Health Workers (Zoom Nurses) to save the profession.

Persistent building materials price affecting house rent

Persistent building materials price affecting house rent – Landlords Association

Landlords association in Bampenase-Asumanya in the Kwabre East District in the Ashanti Region have expressed worry over persistent increases in the building materials and called for a national action to curb the trend.

Some of the landlords during the launch of Anidaso landlords Association said persistent hikes in the price of cement and other building materials had raised the cost of building and contributed to increases in house rent. Cement prices were anticipated to grow by 3.9 percent in 2019 and 2020.

Elder Owusu Akyaw, chairman of the Anidaso landlords Association, said since Ghana’s economy continued to expand, cement was very key to infrastructural development. However, constant increases in the prices of building materials would have serious repercussions on the economy.

Elder Owusu Akyaw explained that the formation of the association is to come together and fight one goal by so far as rent advance is concerned.

He said, most of the tenants don’t know the act of rent control and it’s creating problems between landlords and the tenants.

Assemblymember of the area Hon Williams Asamoah commended them for the formation of the association which according to him will bring development in the area. He then called them to do some background checks before giving out their room to a tenant.

Angela Gyeibiwaa who is a senior rent control officer at the Kwabre East municipal advises landlords and tenants to understand the rent control act so that both the tenants and the landlords will live in peace.

#FixTheCountry movement has been badly exposed – Nana B

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.

A-Plus takes a dig at Captain Smart

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.

When the Fourth Estate Falls

When the Fourth Estate Falls

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.

politicians

SEE ALSO: Rev Obofour & wife enstooled as Aboafuohene and Aboafuohemaa at Tepa

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.

We are all in this together.

We are doing this.

Let’s do this.
