mikeapollo: Thank you, Was so scandalized with some people claiming Ghana is copy cating Nigerian music. Anyone who has had anything to do with music knows its the other way round. It didn't start today, somewhere around the 1960s that Nigeria has been copying Ghanaian beats and rhythm. The current Pumpum beat is an evidence. 1 Like |

No one kmows any Mandynews in Ghana here,by force popularity. They're dead now, can't respond to your allegation but if i were her family member, i would have searched for you and drag you before the law court. Our laws as Ghanaians prohibit such things. Show some respect (1) Any person who, in the presence of at least three persons, commits the offence of insult to the memory of a dead person shall be sentenced to a penalty of imprisonment for a term of three months to two years, or a judicial fine. If the offence of insult is committed publicly the penalty shall be increased by one sixth. (2) Any person who removes, fully or partially, or makes insulting statements about, the body or bones of a person, shall be sentenced to a penalty of imprisonment for a term of three months to two years. 1 Like |

Sports / Statue Unveiled For The First Black Professional Footballer by djfiifi(m): 10:22pm On Oct 16, 2014 |
A statue of the world's first black professional football was unveiled at St. George's Park in Burton, England, on Thursday. Arthur Wharton, a Fantse from Gold Coast, modern-day Ghana in 1865, played professionally for Rotherham Town and Sheffield United. He had initially joined up as an amateur with Darlington at the age of 19, having arrived in Britain with the intention of training as a Methodist missionary but opted for a career in sport, playing predominantly as a goalkeeper but also as a winger. He has now been honoured with a 16-foot statue at the FA's national football centre and St. George's Park chairman David Sheepshanks said on the governing body's official website: "Today is a historic day to mark the achievements and the legacy of the late, great Arthur Wharton. "But it's also a future day because it's a day that going to inspire a whole new generation of young players and in particular young coaches to want to reach for the top and be the best they possibly can be. "When you look at what this man achieved it's simply extraordinary. Imagine the courage he had to display to achieve what he did in those days. "We often talk how hard it is for young people from black and Asian minority backgrounds to get into top jobs today, so imagine what it was like then. Certainly not enough people know about his story and we're going to embrace it in the tour programmes of all the young people and schools that come here. "We're going to make sure his story is told to all the coach education cohorts that come through here -- and that will manifest and grow and I think it will become a really important part of what St. George's Park is all about. "We are here to embrace talent from wherever it comes. Hopefully today will be a moment in time that everyone will look back and say: 'You know from that day onwards opportunities grew -- no matter what background you came from.'" Wharton was also became the Amateur Athletics Association's national 100-yard running champion in 1886 and is said to have become the first man to run 100 yards in 10 seconds. Shaun Campbell, who founded the Arthur Wharton Foundation, added: "Today is a very proud day. It's been a long journey but it's one that's been an absolute honour and a privilege to be part of. "But this statue is not the end, it is the beginning. Football is part of the wider problem, but it is also the biggest army in the world. If you can unite the fans, the support base, it has the capacity to really make a difference -- and it's very exciting. "To move forward we have to tackle it on a global scale, but football can kick-off that campaign. "You don't have time to feel the stresses and strains of championing something like this because your own adversity can never match that which he faced. "This is the beginning of true recognition for the black and ethnic minority groups to this country." http://m.espn.go.com/soccer/story?storyId=2091950&top&wjb=

Sports / Breaking News - Ghana Sacks Coach After 3:2 Win Over Togo by djfiifi(m): 10:08pm On Sep 11, 2014 |
The Ghana FA have today agreed to make Milovan Rajevac the new Black Stars coach following an interview earlier. Citi Sports understands that Kwesi Appiah is done as the coach of Ghana and a severance package will be held by the end of the weekend. The former Black Stars coach touched down in Accra on Monday in what he thought was a quiet entry, but he was caught by journalists. Citi Sports understands that the 60-year old had an interview with the Ghana FA on Thursday. Following a dismal World Cup, the plan was to get a technical adviser for Kwesi Appiah, who then chose veteran local coach Ben Koufie. The choice was rebuffed by the three-man committee setup to do the job, who then went about looking for another choice. Milovan’s coming sends clear signals that key people within the FA are paving the way for him, despite the initial plan being for him to be a technical adviser, if at all. Citi Sports had reported on Tuesday that if Appiah lost against Togo, Rajevac could be named coach before the week ends. But the GFA are said to have moved up the decision even after Appiah commandeered a resilient 3-2 win against Togo on Wednesday. The FA are aware of Milovan’s popularity despite the abrupt way he left Ghana following his historic leadership of the team to the last eight of the 2010 World Cup. He also led Ghana to a final place in the 2010 African Cup and, a year before, another final place finish of the nation’s CHAN team. Rajevac has since insisted that he only left the job because a deal to renew a contract was not handled by the FA well.

Rajevac has since insisted that he only left the job because a deal to renew a contract was not handled by the FA well. Writing on the wall The GFA, in August, set up a three-man committee to appoint a technical adviser for the Black Stars. Citi Sports had earlier revealed that the Serbian, who was one of three names being considered, was favourite to land the job . He told GNA Sports earlier this week: “I cannot wait to join the family again. I am very excited to be back here; my second home. It is always relaxing and I love it here.” Kwesi Appiah who has previously stated that he has not considered resigning from his position, http://www.citifmonline.com/2014/09/11/breaking-milovan-rajevac-is-new-ghana-coach-citi-sports-sources/ |

Politics / India Swaps Ice For Rice In New Bucket Challenge by djfiifi(m): 12:33am On Aug 27, 2014 |
http://edition.cnn.com/2014/08/25/world/asia/india-rice-bucket-challenge/index.html?hpt=hp_c5 This is what I call SENSIBLE COPYING ,they did it to solve their problem, what are our celebrities doing to help curb Ebola in Africa? New Dehli (CNN) -- The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge has morphed into a considerably warmer and drier alternative in India. Enter the "Rice Bucket Challenge." Indian journalist Manju Latha Kalanidhi, who works for the U.S.-based rice research website Oryza.com , says when she first heard about the ice bucket challenge, she got thinking. "Why waste water?" she asks. "I felt like doing something more locally tangible. Rice is a staple here. We eat it every day, we can store it for months. Why not donate rice to someone who is hungry?" And it rhymes with ice. So Kalanidhi started her own challenge: Donate a bucket of rice to someone in need, post a photo online, and challenge your friends to do the same. The original version, designed to raise funds to fight amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) — also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease and motor neurone disease (MND) -- is a global viral phenomenon. People take videos of themselves getting doused with a bucket full of ice, share it online, and challenge friends to do the same or donate money to the cause. It is in effect a modern virtual chain letter. Hundreds of celebrities -- from Oprah Winfrey to Roger Federer -- have participated and fueled interest, raising more than $70 million in donations for the ALS Association. In India, the ice bucket challenge has generated attention too -- Bollywood stars have mirrored their Hollywood counterparts -- but it now seems it will be eclipsed by what some are describing as an Indian challenge for Indian needs: fighting hunger. #RiceBucketChallenge is on its way to going viral in India -- it's on TV news, on Twitter, and it now has a Facebook page with thousands of likes. "People from all over the world are responding," says Kalanidhi, listing off letters of appreciation from people in Sweden, England, and beyond. The explosion of interest in the rice challenge is an indicator of how powerful social media has become in India. According to eMarketer, the number of internet users in India is expected to be around 200 million in 2016, a nearly three- fold increase since 2011. Much of the growth comes from smartphone users: younger Indians who would be more likely to use social media.

I now understand the verses below,especially the 17. 2 Peter 3:14-17 14 Therefore, beloved, since you are waiting for these, be diligent to be found by him without spot or blemish, and at peace. 15 And count the patience of our Lord as salvation, just as our beloved brother Paul also wrote to you according to the wisdom given him, 16 As he does in all his letters when he speaks in them of these matters. There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures. 17 You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, take care that you are not carried away with the error of LAWLESS people and lose your own stability. |

The establishment of Ghacem Limited marked a major turning point in Ghana’s development. Ghacem was founded by the Government of Ghana in collaboration with Norcem AS of Norway, on August 30, 1967. 4 Likes |
