One hundred and twenty-seven Ghanaians who were in detention camps in Libya returned home on Wednesday night. These Ghanaians and some other black Africans were reported to have been subjected to inhumane treatment after giving away their life’s earnings and making torturous journeys through the Sahara hoping to make it big in Europe. Two chartered flights full of Ghanaians touched down at the Kotoka International Airport on Wednesday night. Citi News’ Caleb Kudah and Philip Nii Lartey who kept vigil to interact with the returnees, reported that “after touching down around 9.45pm, the returnees spent extra three hours going through immigration formalities.” One of them passed out in the process, and was whisked to the Airport hospital for medical attention. They were spotted in uniformed cardigan like sports men ready for a match, only that they did not look fit enough. For some of them, it was as if a thin sheet of skin was drawn over their skeletons with bushy hair and mustac

Last Saturday I decided to cover the National Sanitation Day exercise in Sekondi – Takoradi Metropolitan Assemby (STMA), an example of one of the few instances when I have had to run away from commenting on a national issue – whether gay marriage is coming, or it is not coming. Even the fact that I am saying I don’t want to be part of that conversation, can, in itself, generate problems for me. So I have adopted a convenient approach; I have decided not to understand the issues around same sex relationships– or is that one too a problem? Anyway, the Sekondi – Takoradi sanitation exercise, which started at about 7am, took place at the market circle, Bank of Ghana, and AJIP round about, with the army, and the STMA city guards undertaking the cleaning. Unfortunately the general public was not involved. The low patronage of the exercise was so loud, that I wondered where all the millions of cedis, and all the funfair that greeted the 2012 inauguration of the Sanitation Day, had gone to.

Affail Monney, President of Ghana Journalists’ Association (GJA), spells out PRINPAG’s code of ethics while acting President of PRINPAG, Kenteman Nii-Laryea Sowa (third right) and others look on Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of MTN Ghana Limited, Ebenezer Asante, has urged owners of newspapers in the country to consider digitizing the articles as a way of creating additional source of revenues. According to him, much as the introduction of digital technologies appear to be a threat to the survival of traditional media outlets such as newspapers, it also presents opportunity for newspaper publishing houses who had gained credibility, trustworthiness and accuracy to make extra revenue by making their contents available for readers to subscribe to them. He made the call at an evening lecture organized by MTN in partnership with the Private Newspaper Publishers Association of Ghana (PRINPAG) on media digitization. The essence of the lecture, which coincided with the launch of a code o

At least three Ghanaian migrants are said to be among those who were auctioned as slaves in Libya, Ghana’s Foreign Affairs Minister, Shirley Ayorkor Botchway, said yesterday. The identities of the three are yet to be established, but they have told Ghanaian officials that they were abducted by their captors when they ran out of funds to continue their journey across North Africa, through the Mediterranean Sea to Europe. Video footage of migrants sold in apparent slave auction in Libya has provoked worldwide condemnation, with UN Secretary-General António Guterres urging the international community to unite in fighting this modern-day slavery. In a statement on social media, President Akufo-Addo condemned the slave auctions, which were brought to light in a special report by CNN . Men from Niger and other sub-Saharan countries were sold to buyers for about $400 in Libya. “The current slave auctions of Africans in Libya are not only gross and scandalous abuses of human rights, but

This year’s Grammy nomination has broken a record that would give hope to every black entertainer. The nominations were mainly dominated by black and Latino artists in the main categories of album, record and song of the year for the 2018 Grammy Awards. Jay-Z, already the winner of 21 Grammy awards, led the nominations with eight, followed by Kendrick Lamar with seven, Bruno Mars with six, and Childish Gambino, Khalid and SZA, all have five nominations.

A former hip-hop and rap promoter known as Jimmy Henchman has been found guilty in New York of ordering the killing of a friend of rapper 50 Cent. A federal jury convicted James Rosemond on murder-for-hire charges. Rosemond was accused of hiring a crew to kill an associate of the rap group G-Unit as payback for an assault on Rosemond’s son. It was Rosemond’s third trial in the case. The first ended in a hung jury. Rosemond was convicted in the second, but a new trial was ordered. Rosemond already was serving two life sentences for separate drug and gun convictions. Rosemond’s lawyer claimed witnesses were only trying to reduce their own jail sentences. G-Unit associate Lodi Mack was killed in 2009.

One of the Libyan migrants who arrived home on Wednesday night has disclosed that he was sold by a fellow Ghanaian in the unstable Northern Africa country. Over one hundred and twenty-seven (127) Ghanaian migrants returned from Libya with one in a critical condition. The migrants were transported by two flights, Air Libya and Afriqiya Airways following their rescue from detention centres in Libya after reports of slave trade of migrants in the country went viral on the internet. The clearly bothered returnee upon entry said the experience is so frightening he would not have any wish to envision it once more. “What I found myself in Libya, I wouldn’t wish for even my worst enemy, we were sold like bread by our own fellow Ghanaians. And it was a very disheartening experience. We went through the desert and some of us disappeared without a trace and others were shot and killed, luckily for some of us, we were able to escape and were arrested and brought to the deportation center,” He

Head porters, commonly called 'kayayei', could soon be benefitting from a special initiative to provide them with more decent ways of earning a living. The Aliu Mahama Foundation is working with the Council for Technical and Vocational Training to roll out the project.

President Akufo-Addo with John Agyekum Kufuor Former President John Agyekum Kufuor has observed that President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is his rightful successor who would continue with his good works to improve the lives of Ghanaians. He said that the good projects that he (Kufuor) started, including the numerous social intervention programmes, were abandoned by his immediate successors – Prof Atta Mills and John Dramani Mahama. As a result of the poor leadership style of the                Mills-Mahama administration, former President Kufuor observed that the country could not develop rapidly during the eight-year tenure of the National Democratic Congress (NDC). According to him, Ghana could have made giant strides in terms of proper infrastructural development and economic growth, if Nana Akufo-Addo had succeeded him as president in 2009. Mr Kufuor said that Ghana’s growth stagnated when he left office because his successors were not proactive leaders. “I started a good w

Brazil striker Neymar broke Troyes’ resistance as Paris St-Germain took a 10-point lead in Ligue 1 while Monaco lost ground by losing to Nantes. PSG wore down Troyes to win 2-0 thanks to second-half goals from their world-record signing and Edinson Cavani. Lucas Lima’s goal in the 92nd minute gave Claudio Ranieri’s Nantes a dramatic victory that pushed Monaco down into fourth place. Marseille won 3-0 at Metz to go second above Lyon, who lost 2-1 to Lille. Cavani had a first-half penalty saved by Troyes keeper Mamadou Samassa but Neymar broke the deadlock after 73 minutes with a left-footed shot from outside the box for his eighth goal of the season. Then at the end of normal time, Cavani made amends for his spot-kick profligacy with his 17th of this Ligue 1 campaign. Goals from Florian Thauvin, Luiz Gustavo and Lucas Ocampos stretched Marseille’s unbeaten run to nine games and moved them below PSG in the table. Ezequiel Ponce’s goal in the 40th minute proved to be the winner for

Donald Trump has told Prime Minister Theresa May to focus on “terrorism” in the UK after she criticised his sharing of far-right videos. “Don’t focus on me, focus on the destructive Radical Islamic Terrorism that is taking place within the United Kingdom,” Mr Trump tweeted. The US president had earlier retweeted three inflammatory videos posted online by a British far-right group. Mrs May’s spokesman said it was “wrong for the president to have done this”. The US and the UK are close allies and often described as having a “special relationship”. Theresa May was the first foreign leader to visit the Trump White House. The speaker of the House of Commons has granted a request for an urgent question on the matter from Labour MP Stephen Doughty. The videos shared by Mr Trump, who has more than 40 million followers, were initially posted by Jayda Fransen, the deputy leader of Britain First, a group founded by former members of the far-right British National Party (BNP).

Mohamed Salah came from the bench to bag a brace Match Day 14 in the English Premier League presented us with last gasp wins, close victories and even a rare win for a team on a steep decline. After Tuesday’s entertaining games, Wednesday treated us to 19 goals, four of which came at the Goodison Park, even when Everton have not kick started under Sam Alladyce yet. Wayne Rooney produced something of a rare sight in recent seasons, grabbing a hat-trick as Everton thrashed a hapless West Ham 4-0. The Hammers remain rooted in the bottom three this season with their eighth loss. Arsenal also produced some entertaining display at the Emirates last night hitting five past Huddersfield. It marked the first time Huddersfield concede five goals in the top flight this season. Liverpool were not to be left out of the match day high scoring, as Sadio Mane scored the Reds first goal in the 17 th minute. But he was robbed of the hero tag when red-hot Mohamed Salah was introduced in the second

The dwindling form of Belgian forward, Romelu Lukaku has been linked to the return of Swedish goal-poacher, Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Romelu Lukaku Former Manchester United defender, Rio Ferdinand says striker, Romelu Lukaku is struggling to score goals because of the pressure of competing with team-mate, Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Ferdinand has backed Lukaku to rediscover his goal-scoring form, but insisted the Belgium international must first learn to live with the pressure of competing for a spot with Ibrahimovic. “He’ll come out of this. I think that maybe the bigger problem for him is Zlatan Ibrahimovic being there. “Mentally, having a big striker behind you who wants to play, that’s a pressure from within, and sometimes people find that hard to deal with,” Ferdinand told BT Sport. Lukaku started his United career with 11 goals in his first 10 games following a £75 million move from Everton last summer. The 24-year-old has scored just once in his last 11 appear
