GIJ launches 2016 women's week celebration


The Student's Representative Council of the Ghana Institute of Journalism (GIJ) under the auspices of its Women’s Commission has launched the 2016 women’s week celebration with much emphasis on educating students on abortion.
This year's event which is on the theme: ‘Abortion and the Tertiary Student’ comes with varieties of fun-packed activities lined-up to whip up students attention towards successful week celebration.

Highly tipped on the events calendar are line-up of interesting activities like clean-up exercise and food bazaar which comes off at the school campus on Thursday, April 21 followed by fashion show, trade fair and Pre- party on April 22. 

The celebration will be climaxed with a delightful night show to crown the next ‘Face of GIJ‘for 2016 at the Alisa Hotel  in Accra on April 23.

Speaking at the launch, Head of Marketing Department for GIJ, Mrs. Rodaline Amartey advised the students to concentrate their minds solely on studies for now and avoid any pre-marital activities likely to mar their future. “For now you are in school to learn, make sure you learn, when you finish with the school, and then you can take care of other things”.

Chairperson of the Youth Advisory Board for IPAS, Richard Mawutor Dzikunu cautioned the students against unsafe abortion practices, adding the barbaric act could lead to premature death thereby destroying their future. 

He advised them to always endeavor to seek help from health practitioners before taking any such decisions in an event they become pregnant.

Meanwhile, the Women’s Commissioner of GIJ, Dora Badu Acheampong has entreated all students regardless of their sexes to show interest and fully partake in all the activities lined-up for the celebration. 

According to her, no student can afford to miss out on the vast education centered on demystifying the mysteries surrounding abortion within tertiary schools in Ghana. 

The Women’s week celebration activities are being organized by GIJ SRC and proudly supported by Joy Industries, Guinness Ghana, Daviva, Indomie, Alisa Hotel, Kofi Ababio and Sons, Vaettel, Darling and Collen Makeup.

Photo of a man with amazingly ‘super head’ causes a stir on social media

Image
Many eyes have seen it but are yet to believe. To those who are convinced that God's creature exits on earth with such a weird shape of head have been left totally flabbergasted and worried too.That is human nature; doubting Thomases everywhere. A man whose photo has been making rounds on social media platforms has been the one in the centre of a huge controversy that rendered onlookers astounded and divided. The photograph in question has really created a scene that is of comic relief and over-sensational. The problem per se is not about his facial appearance but borders specifically on the 'caricature' shape of his head coupled with his jaw-jutting chin which has become the point of attraction at all cost.  It appears no amount of words could best describe the shape of his 'Hill-Valley-Hill Head' which looks very sparkling without hairs on it.  But some social media users who caught sight of the photograph have been reacting with varying
