  Enough of these playing to the gallery.
  The mayor made a wrong decision and he has made amends.

  If you can write something about how our politicians will stop stealing and put the resources of the nation at work it will help us and not foregone tales.

  Yes, this issue is laid to rest when the President rendered an apology. Why resurrect it now?

  Noise indeed! The import of the article is not about Theodore Asihene-Okoh. It is about the fact some people always harbour the feeling that other people's mansions should be pulled down so they could build their own.

  The writer boldly asked the question:
  "Why should one heroine be reduced in order to place the other into the limelight" and I sincerely share his view
  
  This state of affair has unfortunately been the hallmark of EVIL P/NDC up to date. The change of name of the hockey pitch has its under-currents and must be condemned in no uncertain terms.

  A man was sick and tired of going to work every day while his wife stayed home. He wanted her to see what he went through so he prayed:
  "Dear Lord: I go to work every day and put in 8 hours while my wife merely stays at home. I want her to know what I go through, so please allow her body to switch with mine for a day. Amen."
  
  God, in his infinite wisdom, granted the man's wish.
  
  The next morning, sure enough, the man awoke as a woman. He arose, cooked breakfast for his mate, awakened the kids, set out their school clothes, fed them breakfast, packed their lunches, drove them to school, came home and picked up the dry cleaning, took it to the cleaners and stopped at the bank to make a deposit, went grocery shopping, then drove home to put away the groceries, paid the bills and balanced the checkbook. He cleaned the cat's litter box and bathed the dog.
  
  Then it was already 1 P.M. and he hurried to make the beds, do the laundry, vacuum, dust, and sweep and mop the kitchen floor.
  
  Then ran to the school to pick up the kids and got into an argument with them on the way home.
  
  Set out milk and cookies and got the kids organized to do their homework, then set up the ironing board and watched TV while he did the ironing. At 4:30 he began peeling potatoes and washing vegetables for salad, breaded the pork chops and snapped fresh beans for supper.
  
  After supper, he cleaned the kitchen, ran the dishwasher, folded laundry, bathed the kids, and put them to bed.
  
  At 9 P.M. he was exhausted and, though his daily chores weren't finished, he went to bed where he was expected to make love, which he managed to get through without complaint.
  
  The next morning, he awoke and immediately knelt by the bed and said: Lord, I don't know what I was thinking. I was so wrong to envy my wife's being able to stay home all day. Please, oh please, let us trade back."
  
  The Lord, in his infinite wisdom, replied: "My son, I feel you have learned your lesson and I will be happy to change things back to the way they were."
  
  You'll just have to wait nine months, though. You got pregnant last night."
  
  if Theodosia is a man will they try to remove his name from the Hockey stadium?

  A dirge is for a dead person. Try again.

  this is a useless belated article. The president represents the nation and has more than apologized to the lady. what other function are you calling for? Indeed playing to the useless gallery.
