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...

A member of the Progressive People’s Party (PPP) communication team, Ms. Harriet Anita Abaidoo has taken a swipe at President Akufo-Addo and his 11th address to the nation on measures to fight Covid-19, describing it as mere campaign speech centered on soliciting for mercy votes from Ghanaians in a bid to help him emerge victorious in the upcoming general elections so as to guarantee his second term in office.

The photo with a caption: "Man  forced a mad woman to have sex has been given two options either to be jailed for 10 years or to stay with the mad woman as his wife... one word for him". Although his story is not told yet, the caption attached to his photo is clear enough to confirm the sordid act which rendered many social media users surprised and worried. Since the photo went viral, the distraught youngman have come under barrage of attacks for the humiliating act which completely  reduced him to a status of "nobody". Now caught in a dilemma, the option  to either stay with the mad woman or go to jail for ten years has been his headache. If this man were to be your fri...
