Volta chiefs who declared support for Akufo-Addo lack respect among their people



The Greater Accra Region Organizer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Anthony Nukpenu has condemned the 57 Volta Region chiefs, who recently declared support for the 2016 presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Akufo-Addo, saying they lack respect and dignity among their own people. According to him, “they should not be taken serious”.




His comment was made in an interview following the massive endorsement given to the NPP flagbearer by some chiefs in NDC’s stronghold after he paid a courtesy call on the Paramount Chief of Nkwanta Akyode Traditional Area, Nana Obonbo Sewura Lipuwura, on Wednesday, October 26 2016.

The Chiefs are made up of five paramount chiefs and 52 sub-chiefs. According to the chiefs who spoke through the Paramount Chief of Nkwanta Akyode Traditional Area said “they have had the opportunity to witness governance under the NPP and National Democratic Congress (NDC) over the last 16 years, and are under no illusion that a government led by the NPP represents Ghana’s best hope of offering her citizens progress and prosperity”.

But comparing the chiefs who graced President Mahama’s campaign during his tour to the Volta Region to that of Nana Akufo- Addo’s, Mr. Nukpenu disclosed Mahama’s are far better and more respected than Akufo-Addo’s. He further described Nana Akufo-Addo’s tour of the Region as a flamboyant fashion show.

Indicating that the NDC is not shaken by the recent endorsement of Nana Addo by Voltarians, he warned NPP to stop predicting its party’s chances of increasing the 23% percentage of votes gained from the Region in the previous elections (2012) to 30% this year, saying it is impossible that if care is not taken it will even be squashed.

The Greater Accra Regional Organizer vowed to retire from politics should NPP manage to obtain at least even one seat in the Volta Region in this year’s elections.

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

  People and the diseases they carry can be easily transmitted to any location in a matter of hours since we live in a linked, globalized society. Infectious illness epidemics are becoming more common, particularly in developing nations, where they have severe effects on people's health, social conditions, and economies. An epidemic is the rapid spread of disease to a large number of hosts in a given population within a short period of time. Being no respecter of person, an epidemic disease can affect both young and old of the society. The world since its creation has encountered several kinds of epidemics which have claimed many lives and caused great devastations to nations of the world. In the last century for instance, the world has been hit by six (6) different kinds of epidemics with devastating results on its economy, people’s health and social conditions. Between 1918-1922, Russia was unfortunate to have been hit hard by Typhus, (a fever caused by bacteria that are spread t

  In a bid to help end the kidnappings as well as the burgeoning human rights and social issues in Ghana and beyond, the Human Rights Reporters Ghana (HRRG) in 2019 embarked on a ‘Nationwide Sensitization Campaign on Kidnapping, Teenage, Pregnancy and Tramadol/Drug Abuse’ (KTT). The campaign, popularly known as the ‘KTT Project’, focused on addressing issues of kidnapping, teenage pregnancy and drug abuse but equally set about creating a deeper education on human rights to bring about a cultural change. The ‘messiah initiative’ which saw a dedicated team of young volunteers in communities, schools and religious settings within three regions of the country managed to reach over 60,000 Ghanaians over two years sensitizing them on the most pressing and critical and social issues Ghana is facing.   HRRG team of volunteers The HRRG is a non-governmental organization (NGO) which brings together journalists, news editors, human rights activists, advocates, defenders and lawyers to advan
