SAVE me my feLLow Ghanaians, i'm Sandra, a 24 years oLd Ghanaian Lady that was scammed by some Nigerians, i'm currentLy stranded in Nigeria, it aLL started few months ago when i got a WhatsApp message that a traveL agency in Lagos Nigeria is recruiting Ghanaians and Nigerians for job openings in Canada, i soLd my business and everything i had and kept sending them money for the traveL to Canada, when i ran out of money to send to them, they invited me to Lagos that my visa is ready, when i got to Lagos they took the remaining money i had on me and took my phone and refused to give me my passport that i posted to them earLier from Ghana, i was Left stranded, i sLept on the streets for few days before i got a restaurant that accepted me to be working for them so i can be eating and have a pLace to sLeep, they don't pay me, what i gain is just the free food and sLeeping in the restaurant, pLease i need heLp of around 100,000 naira which is around 800 cedis so i can transport myseLf back to Ghana, my transport back to Ghana is expensive because i'm not with my passport, the transport companies here charge more for passengers traveLing without passport, i promise to pay back the money once i'm back to Ghana and start working, i can aLso work for anyone that heLps me with the money so the 800 GHS can be deducted from my saLary, i know it might be hard to get a singLe person that can heLp me with 800 GHS so i wiLL appreciate any amount sent to me and be gratefuL, even if i receive 50 GHS or Less i can be saving up untiL i compLete the money to 800 GHS, i can be reached on my private emaiL via sanw47354@g m a i l.com as i don't have a phone now, i'm Lucky there's a cyber cafe beside the restaurant i work so i go there whenever i'm free from work to check my maiLs and seek for heLp on Ghanaweb.

Mission School Is Mission School Period!
This is the grand agenda of Arabic countries that this NDC government is seriously flirting with.
It's crazy for anyone to think that Mission School like my own alma matter, Mawuli School, founded by EP Church would allow certain group of people to wear hijab and also congregate five times in a day for prayers whiles others are in class. And the Traditional believers will also pour libation, slaughter fowls and spread the blood all over. Whoever is thinking of this madness should be hanged.

Mr Yohuno's highest position shd have been the Deputy he got to under Akuffo Addo. He was not competent enough to have been promoted to IGP. His presence in Ghana Police Service is demotivating his men & women

Personally, I completely lost trust in the Police Administration and how they carried on with their services and thought they lost the sense of direction until Akuffo Dampare happened, and my perceptions changed.

IN THE END DAMPARE FAILED. HE SHOULD HAVE DISOBEYED JEAN MENSA AND AKUFFO ADDO WHEN HE WAS GIVEN ORDERS TO GIVE PROTECTION TO JEAN MENSA AND HER COHORTS WHEN ALREADY DECLARED RESULTS WERE CHANGED AGAIN WITH POLICE PROTECTION. AT THE TIME, AKUFFO ADDO HAD LOST POWER AND COULD NOT DO FOKO. PROVIDING POLICE PROTECTION FOR JEAN MENSA TO CHANGE RESULTS CAUSED DAMPARE HIS POSITION

He leaves no room for divergent views or consultation.

What happened to the president promise of not extending tenure in the public services. What has changed. Now the police openly collect bribes from motorists. The okada, tricyclists and the aboboyaa are the worst victims. Dampare restored respect to the police. How can others being expectants become a cause for extension. Kwesi Pratt the hypocrite theory.

The IGP is increasingly resembling a life-sized cut-out when compared to his predecessor. Let's hope that President Mahama is paying close attention to the performance of this IGP.
Former IGP for sure made some missteps but he was the first IGP in a very long time to inspire public confidence in the Ghana Police. Under Dampare we began to see the first green shoots of Respect for the Rule of Law in Ghana. That momentum appears to have fizzled out already.

LIFE-SIZED CARDBOARD "CUT-OUT" :A life-sized, often cardboard, cutout of a person, typically a celebrity or important person.Term used to imply an individual is occupying a position of authority but has little to show for it.
