A Member of the Public Interest and Accountability Committee (PIAC), Dr Steve Manteaw, is urging the government to make a full disclosure of the details of the petroleum agreement between Ghana and ExxonMobil. According to him, because the government entered into the agreement on behalf of Ghanaians, it is necessary for the details to be made public. Speaking on the topic, “The New Exploration and Production (E&P) Law vis-à-vis the ExxonMobil Agreement” at a PIAC-Institute of Financial and Economic Journalists (IFEJ) workshop at Koforidua over the weekend, Dr Manteaw said it was unfortunate that the government has kept details of the deal under wraps.

Asamoah Gyan says he is not moved by persistent attacks by his detractors as he is more concentrated on giving his all for the Black Stars. The Stars captain took to his official Instagram page, Wednesday night, to rubbish allegations of him using black magic to destroy other players in the team to his advantage. The Kayserispor man has advised players, who go round spreading those false allegations, to spend time, work hard and improve because he, Gyan, won’t stoop so low to use black magic on players that are not on his level. ”A player will say he is not progressing because his teammate cast a spell or used Juju (black magic) [on him]. But that player should ask himself if he has more qualities than whoever he is [accusing],” Gyan said furiously. ”For example, if I want to do something [use black magic] on somebody then the person should be higher than me not someone who’s not at my level.” He added; ”People think I will be distracted when they accuse me but am more focused.

So I was in Church on Sunday and all I heard was give your life to Christ and He will show you the good path of life. Yeah, I know it's a retrospect. Hey, Emmanuel! Wake up it's a service for the young ones who will be ushered to be born again Christians. I usually hate this idea of going to church as early as 6am. I woke up and took my bathe and within a time frame of forty minutes, we had arrived in the church auditorium. I joined the lost sheep (children service) to proclaim the sovereign of the Lord. Before that, my aunty once told me that if Jesus comes in your life, you will see a light and your soul will gladden. The pastor started singing hymnals to give way for Jesus to be in our lives. Suddenly, a bowed legged boy stood up and proclaimed salvation. It followed till I was left alone. I opened my eyes and I could see and hear people praying for the last lost sheep (me) to be saved. I sat and imagined how Jesus could come into the other kids and save them. It wa
