Who is to blame? Men, Women, Society, Destiny? Who???

For sometime I have made some observations and honestly I find it a hard nut to crack. Most of our young ladies in the training colleges and polytechnics always find themselves in Marriage situations which many people judge them without knowing their motives or reasons. In the northern region of Ghana where I began this research and also seek public opinion some blamed the Parents, for not establishing themselves before getting married, others blamed the ladies/young girls Husbands for not supporting their wives, others blamed the young girls/ladies, for venturing into marriage early, some blamed the extended family for not helping. Some advised that the ladies should work to gain grounds before venturing in to marriage because the man or their husbands also have problems of their own. Others advices that since girls or females experience menapose early, they should marry early to avoid difficulty in picking a seed. Others also advised that the African society don't respect single

An avid American hunter accused of illegally killing a protected lion in Zimbabwe said Tuesday that he thought everything about his trip was legal and wasn’t aware of the animal’s status “until the end of the hunt.” Walter Palmer, who has a felony record in the US related to shooting a black bear in Wisconsin, released his statement through a public relations firm after being identified by Zimbabwean authorities as the American involved in the July hunt. They said he is being sought on poaching charges, but Palmer said he hasn’t heard from US or Zimbabwean authorities. Wildlife officials have accused an American hunter of killing Cecil, one of the oldest and most famous lions in Zimbabwe, without a permit after paying $50,000 to two guides. The lion was lured out of Hwange National Park using a bait and was shot by Walter James Palmer, Johnny Rodrigues, chairman of Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force (ZCTF), told reporters.

AFRICAN SOIL HEALTH CONSULTANTS AND SAVANNAH AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH INSTITUTE ON RICE SHOP

Rice is an important cash crop in Ghana, However production is not as high as it should be, and such yields are low. Farmers often apply inappropriate agricultural management practices at the wrong time; often the rice that is growing is from cycle seeds which are of low quality. There is also a shortage of organic matter in the soil and farmers don’t correct this problem .the rice program at the Savannah Agricultural Research Institute[SARI] in Ghana has been working on technologies that can rise farmers to increase crop yields and improve livelihood. These however have been a long term challenge for agricultural science organizations to translate their expertise into farmer friendly information. Farmers have limited information on the best ways to manage their fields. To meet these challenges the African soil health consultants with support from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is working with Agricultural Value Chain mentorship project to find the best ways to pac

Some 10 Corrupt Officials You Did Not Know

Corruption is characterized as the abuse of public resources, power and position to provide unfair advantage to individuals, families and friends. Common public resources that often pocketed by politicians are money, goods, medical aid funds and budget allocations. Corruption is a complex problem that affects social, economic and political aspects in almost all countries. Corruption can undermine democratic institutions, slow down development projects and may even cause destabilization in the government. It is high time that people be more conscious of the corruption in our midst today. Knowledge and public awareness of corruption can help minimize the problem. Mohamed Suharto was Indonesian president from 1967 to 1998. His regime was considered as the most corrupt of the 20th century. He and his family had control of private companies and charities. Suharto resigned from office after huge protests by Indonesians. Transparency International had estimated that Suharto had embezz

The eight-foot tall bronze statue, which features a goat-headed Satan, was revealed to hundreds of ticket holders at a private event in the city. WWJ -TV reported: The group said the bronze Baphomet monument, which weighs about one ton and has never been seen before in public, “is not only an unparalleled artistic triumph, but stands as a testament to plurality and the power of collective action.” The statue, which backed by an inverted pentagram and flanked by statues of two young children gazing up at the creature, shows Satan with horns, hooves, wings and a beard. The group went on to say the unveiling event “will serve as a call-to-arms from which we’ll kick off our largest fight to date in the name of individual rights to free exercise against self-serving theocrats.” A Detroit restaurant was originally going to host the event, but canceled after learning of the Satanic Temple's in

Bobbi Kristina Brown, 22, the only daughter of singers Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown, died Sunday, nearly six months after she was found unresponsive in a bathtub of her home, her family said. Brown has been unresponsive in hospitals and hospice care since she was found in a bathtub of her Roswell, Georgia, home on Jan. 31. Her family said she suffered irreversible brain damage. She never regained consciousness to explain what happened before she was found Jan. 31, face down and unresponsive in her bathtub. "It is hard to say goodbye.

Jean-Michel Basquiat

He took the 1980s art world by storm – and then at just 27, he was gone. Alastair Sooke looks back at the short life and stunning work of Jean-Michel Basquiat. Everybody loves the story of a prodigy. As a teenager, Van Dyck exhibited tremendous facility with a paintbrush in Rubens’s studio. In 1901, the 19-year-old Picasso announced himself with preternatural self-confidence in a blazing self-portrait inscribed “Yo – Picasso”. These rank among the most exciting moments in the history of art. So does the meteoric rise of the ultimately ill-starred American artist Jean-Michel Basquiat, who mesmerised New York’s hard-boiled art world during the ’80s, and is now the subject of a new retrospective containing around 100 artworks at the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao. He wore paint-spattered Armani suits with his pockets stuffed full of hundred-dollar bills Since his death, aged just 27, from a heroin overdose in the summer of 1988, Basquiat has become a kind of mythical figure. He is often t

I had to give [the pimp] all my money. If I did not [earn a set amount] they punished me by removing my clothes and beating me with a stick until I fainted, electrocuting me, cutting me. -Kolab, sex trafficking survivor from Cambodia Sex trafficking – whether within a country or ac

Sex Trafficking in America

The pathway leading to the dark corners of human trafficking began in the fluorescent-flooded hallways of a Florida middle school. Sacharay, which is how she wants to be known, was 14 years old and looking for a friend. "I used to get picked on a lot about being dark-skinned. I started wearing glasses and was called 'four-eyes.' And then they knew because I was so sensitive, they knew it was getting to me," she said. But when an older classmate approached her and offered to be her friend, Sacharay thought maybe her fortunes had finally started to turn. "I thought she was like my best friend because I could tell her everything. One day she asked if I wanted to skip school and have fun, you know, so we went to the barber shop. When I was there, she introduced me to these guys," said Sacharay, now 19. One of the men, in his mid-30s, immediately took notice of Sacharay. He soon began courting her with gifts, paying her compliments and offering advice on the

It has been more than 10 years of change for Facebook, the social network founded February 4, 2004, by Mark Zuckerberg, right, Dustin Moskovitz and three other classmates in a Harvard dorm room. From its awkward beginnings to an international phenomenon with 1.4 billion users, here's a look at the many faces of Facebook. You think your Facebook profile is private? Think again. In a decision that raises crucial issues in the digital age, a New York state appeals court ruled this week that Facebook cannot protect users against search warrants obtained by law enforcement officials to access users' digital information. The case pitted the social networking giant against the Manhattan district attorney's office.
