Back from Kumasi……….
I spent last Wednesday and Thursday visiting Kumasi and its environs with my show. As part of the coverage of the 2008 elections, I am travelling across the country to offer Ghanaians all over an opportunity to speak up about the things that really matter to them. I am doing this with the hope [...]
I’m now in Jeans and a short sleeve shirt…………………………… ……………..I think I should relax some more.
On the first of July this year, my second anniversary in radio almost passed without notice. It actually took a txt from a listener congratulating me for surviving, to remind me I was two years on this job.
I thanked the listener for remembering and felt touched that it wasn’t only my programs director and my [...]
Selling Ghana Telecom – Selling our eggs
I heard of this sale of GT about three months ago when a source at the finance ministry hinted me that government was gradually finding itself in a tough spot and might resort to some “interesting” measures to salvage its economic fortunes.
At that time, cabinet was just considering the effects of the rising crude [...]
Alas, the Politicians are focusing on issues.
“Has anyone noticed that in the past one month the Politicians are beginning to tone down on rhetoric and focus on some issues that are really important to the electorate?”………That was a question one of my banker guests popped up during a commercial break on one of our banking month interviews.
I argued that we really [...]
Alan Kyeremanteng’s Resignation. Who Loses?
Sometimes when sources hint on the impending big news, it is easy for a media practitioner to take it with a pinch of salt. Sometimes, these hints sound so farfetched that you are left with a feeling that it will be false.
But when I heard a senior NPP member had tendered in his resignation letter [...]
Would John Mahama Bring any more votes?
On Thursday, the much expected announcement of John Mahama as NDC Vice Presidential candidate was made. This effectively ended the debates and lobbying for the job. Betty Mould Iddrissu and her supporters had put up a bold lobby (for something I hadn’t ever seen any man/woman openly lobby for –the veep slot). At the end [...]
Our Politicians are Failing Us
For many Ghanaians, reports of a clash between NPP and NDC supporters at the Chief Imam’s residence last week, came as a surprise against the background of promises by the candidates that the campaign would be based on issues.
For me I was surprised not at the clash of the supporters, but at the lack of [...]

SHOULD STUDENTS CONFORM TO THE RELIGIOUS PRACTICES OF MISSION SCHOOLS?
Last week the nation was consumed by a debate on this subject following the death of a muslim student at Adisadel college who jumped off a fourth floor building in an attempt to escape punishment for not attending a Sunday morning service.Since then, there have been many opinions expressed mostly suggesting that ‘when you go [...]
The Alleged Bloating of the voter’s Register
I always expected the election year 2008 to hold many interesting surprises for us all. I even expected it to start off with an explosive clash of the candidates (looking at their Political pedigree) on key issues. But Like many, I was surprised to find that the issue of the alleged bloated register is what [...]
