Majority Leader, Osei Kyei Mensah Bonsu is of the view that sacking Chris Hughton will not solve the problems with the Black Stars. He is of the view that Black Stars can only flourish if the football people leave coaches to do their work rather than influence every decision coaches take. Osei Kyei Mensah Bonsu was speaking on Kumasi-based Angel FM when he made this position known. Speaking about Adre Ayew, he indicated that the captain of the Black Stars is now a spent force who should be discarded and not given a place in the Black Stars. “I had hope in Jordan He acknowledged that Dede Ayew has paid his dues and should realize that his being in the squad has been very problematic in recent times. “The constant peeling off of coaches will not help us.

Franklin Cudjoe of IMANI Africa is of the view that Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s exploits in 2017, and 2018 were a result of the investments made by the John Dramani Mahama-led administration. He is of the view that the next government, which will take over from the current government, will certainly need some form of honeymoon to get things right, as Ghana’s economy is currently in shambles. Franklin Cudjoe expressed these views on social media in reaction to claims that John Dramani Mahama is not ready to be president because he told labour unions he will need some honeymoon to fix the economy. “Besides, all the things you mentioned Nana Addo did from 2017 to 2018 were mostly the results of NDC’s investments- it was no master stroke of the NPP that it inherited/achieved a 7% growth in 2017 from 3.4% in 2016. I would even add some of the growth in 2018 largely owning in part to NDC’s investments- if for nothing at all the NDC ended dumsor in 2016 and made investment in sound po...

Melanie Safka, often simply known as Melanie, was a melody weaver, a poet with a guitar, and a barefoot whirlwind who danced through the 60s and 70s, leaving behind a trail of timeless tunes and an infectious brand of sunshine-and-rain optimism. Born in Queens, New York, in 1947, Melanie’s musical roots stretched back to childhood, when she made her first radio appearance at the tender age of four. Her voice, a unique blend of childlike wonder and earthy wisdom, would become her signature, gracing songs that spoke of peace, love, and the simple joys of being alive. Her 1969 performance at Woodstock catapulted her onto the international stage. Barefoot and adorned with flowers, she captivated the crowd with the anthemic “Brand New Key” and the introspective “Lay Down (Candles in the Rain),” a song born from the festival’s downpour that transformed into a plea for unity and understanding. But Melanie was more than just a festival darling. Her music, a genre-bending mix of folk, po...

The purpose of the article is to concentrate on Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT) and their impact on copyright holders and copyright law. However, to properly comprehend these ramifications, it is equally important to understand how an NFT is created or “minted” and how ownership of an NFT is transferred. Minting of an NFT: Meaning Minting NFT is the process of creating a crypto collectable or digital asset on the Ethereum blockchain. An item or file can never be edited, modified, or deleted from a decentralized database or distributed ledger. Minting is the process of uploading a particular object into the blockchain. In other words, “NFT Minting” is the process of adding your digital art or material to the Ethereum blockchain. Like real money, non-fungible tokens are “minted” after creation. This procedure converts a basic file into a crypto asset that can be purchased or sold on a digital marketplace without an intermediary. Purchase of NFT Once the NFT is generated, the digital a...

Ghana are all but out of the Africa Cup of Nations after failing to win any of their group stage matches, ending with two points. On Monday, the Black Stars played out a disgraceful 2-2 draw in their last group game against Mozambique in Abidjan.
