Woman wake up

From a woman to women

"When a real man finds a wife in you he will never let you go, this is guaranteed"

...The race to marry a BIG BOY is what is now in vogue. Most ladies nowadays can't function if there is no cash involved. The urge for material things has changed the STORY OF LOVE. Do NOT make money your only priority when choosing your spouse, only spend it when necessary. There's more to marriage than money alone. A man with a good heart is better than a rich man with the heart of a beast. Most women say they want security in life so they won’t date the poor, I know so many Carpenters and Bricklayers that have built their house and feed their families through their hard working but girls hardly look their side. If he's not rich today doesn't mean he will be poor for life as long as he is ambitious. The happiness and security of your life is YOUR responsibility. Those who choose never to endure at all may have to suffer for long. Getting married to the rich doesn't guarantee happiness in life. HAPPINESS IS PRICELESS. Perhaps those who say they will rather cry inside a Range Rover Sports than laughing on a bicycle have never experienced pain in their life. Some relationship mistakes can cause life regrets. Many young women have blindly turned themselves to TEST DRIVE VEHICLE for the love of material things. What qualified you as great woman is not in designer Prada shoes and Gucci bags. It’s in your good heart, good characters and real personality. When a real man finds a wife in you he will never let you go, this is guaranteed. It’s funny how material women blame men for breaking their heart and conclude men are the same. A man who wins your love with cash may not stay for long. Real men don't settle down with fake women, they might be your temporary server but they'll leave as soon as the coast is cleared. THE ONLY PLACE YOU CAN FIND A FAKE WOMAN IS TEMPORARILY IN THE HEART OF A FOOLISH MAN. Choose wisely!!!

This youthful nonsense must stop.

Politics is not as dirty as some people see it but am wondering how I will describe politics to my kids because there are too many blockheads and I mean way too many idiots getting into politics and sadly they believe in spewing all sort of nonsense and lies about their opponent to gain political advantage.(Am not sorry for my choice of words)

So many fine brains are shying away from politics because of these yet we expect this country to develop. Of what use is a educated fisherman in electricity company of Ghana board? Go to parliament and find out the caliber of people winning elections and you will feel sad where this country is heading. That is not to say we don't have smart ones in there but imagine all of these people have to sit on various committees and make decisions for me a you.

I am thrilled by certain people nominated by the president(his election into office is being challenged by my party and am in support 100%) to spearhead his government. These are professionals and smart brains in their fields and we only hope they will be able to do their job and not give meaning to Samuel Goldwyn's saying that "he will choose a smart idiot over a a stupid genius".

What do we see now? Just when the nominations came out people started digging and spewing all sort of rubbish about these fine brains. Prof Jane Agyemang all of a sudden is being called names but I ask can she do the work? Is she competent enough?
Raymond Atuguba's softer stands on gay right suddenly has become an issue just because he didn't make any recommendations after the constitutional review in that regard. Again is he competent for the job? Are you not tired of the Koku Anyidohos and Tony Aidoos ?
Nana Oye Lithur is in the news for all the foolish reasons just because she is a human right activist who sees the human on gays first but what seriously made me write this today is that stupid assertion that she is a lesbian. Hello is she sleeping with you or your mother. Has anyone accused her of any crime? What arrant nonsense! Is she competent enough?

Can't people just move away from this stupid way of politicking. Am sick and tired of this and funny enough am not hearing the Senior politicians spewing such rubbish but the youth. Seriously what is the future of this country? Almost every silly comment is coming from the youth. Am just ashamed and feel scandalized. Take a journey through all the young activist of political parties on Facebook and see the insults on people they don't even know,people they haven't even achieved half of what they have achieved in life nor have their parent even made it close to them.

Seriously we need to define and refine our politics . This youthful nonsense must stop . People need to grow up.

200 people for a management team of GFA is outrageous

The simple question i asked myself this morining as i listened to the Joy Fm newspaper headlines was why 200 when a whole governing body of world football has just 205 management members.What do we pay all those people for?Beats my mind.
I remember during the appointment of Kwesi Nyantakyi to the CAF board people opposed it citing inefficiency on his part since he was overloaded with other similar roles and the spokesperson for GFA then Randy Abbey rubbished that assertion citing so many examples to buttress the point that he was capable of delivering since the CAF job wouldnt take much time and that they even met quarterly or so.Now to my point,cant these same people managing say the Black Stars also manage the local Black Stars?Do we need some extra 5 people to be paid some extra money to do that job?Seriously how so people who mismanage be managers?They cant even manage the money they have yet they want to develop the sports.Are we just giving money to the boys like they do in politics with some mediocre appointments.
Not long i supported the unnecessary interference by government with regard the FA's role but i think its about time we question some of these rot in the system.I support a complete overhaul of the system now and i dont care if FIFA ban us for good we will organize our own 4 poles or "gutter to gutter" to bring some sanity into the system.

Akyena Brantuo Benji Dumps AFRO(Alliance For Responsible Opposition)

.Because they thought AFRO was an NDC thing and that it was promoting the government, THEY WERE BOUGHT TO DESTROY IT. I wish LORD HAMAH and ANUGA FORTUNATE well for destroying such a wonderful initiative and tarnishing the image of the national security and the presidency. Though I founded AFRO, am out. LORD HAMAH can take it. To all my friends, thank you for standing by me in this difficult moment.

Castle Boys Fight Over Cash

The Boys employed by the Presidency to counter the pressure group, Alliance for Accountable Governance (AFAG), under the name, Alliance for Responsible Opposition A(FRO) are allegedly fighting among themselves over cash. AFRO, which was formed barely a month ago by elements of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) with support from the National Security Co-ordinator, Lt. Col. Larry Gbevlo-Lartey (rtd) and other NDC chieftains, is already throwing punches, with a statement dismissing their leader, Benjamin Akyena Brantuo, former Junior Common Room President of the Commonwealth Hall, University of Ghana. The members met at Paloma Hotel last night to endorse the decision by the AFRO leadership to expel the Castle boy. Some members of the group have dismissed the Castle boy who prides himself as the convener and chairman of the AFRO because of some cash allegedly released by Gbevlo-Lartey for their recent outreach programme at the Teachers Hall in Accra, where they attacked the opposition. Akyena stands accused by his colleagues including Lord Koranteng Hammah, AFRO Co-ordinator, and Fortunate Anuga, AFRO Press Secretary, for using the name of the group to solicit funds and using them for his personal gains.AFRO has put a disclaimer on Akyena Brantuo, asking all media houses and the general public to desist from dealing with him in the name of the group. Apart from that, the group said Akyena had persistently not been able to espouse the core ideals, doctrine, philosophy and sacred principles of AFRO and indeed, your (Akyena’s) appearances on several media stations have been a source of worry to members since your arguments are usually not in consonance with our avowed aims and objectives.” They made specific reference to what they said was his ‘abysmal performance’ on Adom FM, where he was reported to have addressed listeners as ‘fellow NDC supporters’ at a time he was supposed to be on a platform of AFRO.They also accused the Castle boy of grammatical inexactitudes, inelegance of speech and downright inability to express himself with flawless eloquence which, according to them was steadily blotting the reputation of the group since the flaws “countenance mediocrity.” AFRO said it had come to its notice that Akyena was making desperate attempts to create the erroneous impression in the public’s eye that AFRO was his personal creation. They noted that he had variously bestowed on himself titles such as chairman, leader and even founder to the chagrin of the entire membership of the group, stressing that “all these positions are non-existent in our constitution.” The group said Akyena had never contributed financially or intellectually towards the success of any of its programmes, apart from appending his signature to statements issued by AFRO, thereby referring to him as a ‘white elephant’. The group has appointed Bernard Brock Nii Aku Yartey, a man described as a businessman and a philanthropist, to act in his stead as the convener of AFRO with immediate effect whilst Akyena has been asked to hand over all assets of AFRO at his disposal to the National Secretariat immediately. Akyena said he would respond to the issue appropriately when he was contacted by Daily Guide on Friday.It is not too clear whether the confusion in AFRO has anything to do with a text message making the rounds in sections of the media, purported to have been sent by a certain James who is suspected to be a deputy Minister. The said text message, which is branded ‘private and confidential’ states, “Yesterday’s meeting did not go the way Prof wanted us to conduct these meetings, if der is a new face around, we must be notified. Konadu has Jerry’s network dat gathers gud intelligence. I don’t trust some of these hungry CPP guys we are using to form this AFRO pressure group! I am tracing one of them to someone around Konadu and this is dangerous.” The message continued. “If the primary goal of this group is to scatter Konadu’s ambition as uncle Ato (Ato Ahwoi) wants indicated, we can’t afford any scandalous leaks, the Bempah and Dela boys have the media, and Jerry’s commandos sniffing around for them. We must double check on of the CPP guys we programmed has links with Nduom because NPP will know. See you at castle meeting morrow. Watch your back esp these stupid foot soldiers. James”. Though Daily Guide has made several attempts to speak to James to ascertain whether or not the text emanated from him, he has continuously failed to answer his phone.

AG suffers another defeat

The Attorney General has suffered another major defeat at the nation’s law courts.

The latest trouncing of the Attorney General was over the case in which two former top officials of the Ministry of Youth and Sports went to court to challenge their interdiction by the Civil Service for their alleged roles in the infamous Muntaka corruption scandal.

The Civil Service’s action was on grounds that Mr. Albert Ampong, a former Chief Director of the Sports Ministry, and Mr. Adim Odoom, former Chief Accountant of the same Ministry were interfering in ongoing investigations into allegations of financial impropriety against them.

But, in a landmark ruling delivered by the Human Rights Court this morning, trial Judge, Justice Paul Derry, quashed the interdiction of the two men and ordered the Civil Service to immediately reinstate them to their respective positions.

Since the scandal, Mr Ampong and Mr Odoom have been transferred from the Sports Ministry to the office of the head of Civil Service. Mr Dame told CitiNews he intends to immediately serve the notice of entry of judgment on the Attorney General to advice the Civil Service Council to take the necessary steps to reinstate his clients.

Mr Dame told CitiNews he has not yet gotten any indication that the Attorney General intends to appeal today’s court ruling.

Laptop use on laps might reduce sperm quality: report

Using a laptop computer as the name suggests may not be good for male reproductive health, according to a study.

And there is little that can be done about it, aside from using the laptop on a desk, said Yelim Sheynkin, a urologist at the State University of New York at Stony Brook who led the study published in Fertility and Sterility.

In the study, thermometers were used to measure the temperature of the scrotums of 29 young men balancing a laptop on their knees. Even with a lap pad under the computer, the men's scrotums overheated quickly.

"Millions and millions of men are using laptops now, especially those in the reproductive age range," said Sheynkin.

"Within 10 or 15 minutes their scrotal temperature is already above what we consider safe, but they don't feel it."

According to the American Urological Association, nearly one in six couples in the United States has trouble conceiving. About half the time, this is due to male infertility.

Under normal circumstances, the position of the testicles outside the body keeps them a few degrees cooler than the inside of the body, which is necessary for sperm production.

No studies have yet researched how laptops affect male fertility and there is no strong evidence that it would, Sheynkin added. But earlier research has showed that warming the scrotum even more than one degree Celsius (1.8 degrees Fahrenheit) is enough to damage sperm.

Though both general health and lifestyle factors such as nutrition and drug use can affect reproductive health, tight jeans and briefs are generally not considered a risk factor since people are moving around.

Holding a laptop on the knees, though, requires keeping the legs still and closed. After one hour in this position, the researchers found that the men's testicle temperature had risen by up to 2.5 C.

A lap pad kept the computer cool and meant that less heat was transmitted to the skin, but Sheynkin warned it didn't do much to cool the testicles and might give a false sense of security.

"I wouldn't say that if someone starts to use laptops they will become infertile," Sheynkin told Reuters Health, though he warned that frequent use might contribute to reproductive problems because "the scrotum doesn't have time to cool down."

When the men sat with their legs spread wide -- made possible only by placing the computer on a large lap pad -- they could keep their testicles cooler. But it still took less than 30 minutes before they began overheating.

"No matter what you do, even with the legs spread wide apart, the temperature is still going to be higher than what we call safe," said Sheynkin.
