Everyday Law for Everyday people.
Daniel, a 32-year-old software engineer, meets Ama, a 29-year-old graphic designer, at a social event in Accra. They spend the evening together and later return to Ama’s residence.
Before engaging in sexual intercourse, Daniel expressly states that he does not want children and is careful to avoid any possibility of pregnancy. Ama agrees that the encounter is intended to be a casual, one-time sexual relationship. Daniel uses a condom throughout intercourse.
After ejaculation, Daniel removes the condom, ties it, and disposes of it in a wastebasket located in Ama’s bathroom. He spends a short period of time at the residence before leaving.
Unknown to Daniel, after he departs, Ama retrieves the discarded condom from the wastebasket. Desiring to become pregnant and believing Daniel possesses qualities she would like in the father of her future child, she extracts semen from the condom using a syringe and artificially inseminates herself.
Several weeks later, Ama discovers that she is pregnant. She does not initially disclose the circumstances of conception to Daniel.
Nine months later, she gives birth to a daughter, Adwoa.
A DNA test subsequently confirms with 99.99% certainty that Daniel is the biological father.
When informed of the circumstances surrounding conception, Daniel states that he never consented to father a child and that his use of a condom demonstrated an affirmative intention to prevent conception. He contends that he has been made a father through conduct that circumvented his reproductive choices.
Ama responds that:
* Daniel voluntarily engaged in sexual intercourse.
* He voluntarily ejaculated.
* He voluntarily discarded the condom in her home.
* The child is biologically his.
* Whatever dispute exists between the adults should not affect the rights and welfare of the child.
Ama applies to court for declarations of paternity, child maintenance, inheritance rights, and other parental obligations.
Daniel commences a separate action seeking declarations that:
* He did not consent to reproduction.
* He should not be treated as a legal parent.
* Alternatively, he should not be liable for child support.
* Alternatively, he should be entitled to damages for the non-consensual use of his genetic material.
You are the judge. How would you rule?
A city flooding after heavy rain is one thing. A capital city flooding year after year for generations is a failure.
What bothers me isn’t the rain. It’s how we’ve normalized the consequences. A child growing up today can expect the same flooding problems their parents and grandparents experienced. Ghana is failing us.
What kind of club when they qualify for Champions League and need improvements goes out and spends nearly £100m on Jamie Gittens & Alejandro Garnacho?
No, el Atlético de Madrid nunca haría algo así. Sin embargo, en los últimos meses venimos sufriendo una campaña de acoso y derribo sobre uno de nuestros jugadores. Filtraciones interesadas, 'fake news', faltas continuas de respeto, la versión culé de la maquinaria inventando historietas, llamadas antes de enfrentamientos directos... Pero claro, a nosotros tampoco se nos ocurriría tener a sueldo al vicepresidente de los árbitros o recurrir a favores políticos para inscribir a jugadores. RESPETO y VALORES.

Let them know that there was no way president MAHAMA would form a government without Hon Haruna and Hon Muntaka.
🚨 Thomas Tuchel: “Cole Palmer wasn’t as decisive as previous seasons, he wasn’t available for us a lot and wasn’t decisive”.
“He also competes in the right half 10 position, where we decided for Jude, Morgan and Ebs who are outstanding players, had better season and more decisive in our camps than Cole”.
Don't tear up too much.

That sex part always makes me laugh because I vividly remember when my wife turned me down for sex many times after minor disagreements. Every time she said no, I simply replied, “Okay,” and moved on.
She then started going through my phone at night to see if I was cheating. She found nothing. You should have seen the frustration on her face. She became so restless.
Later, when she was finally ready to have sex, I turned her down many times too. She almost went crazy. Ever since then, once I say I’m ready, she’s ready too.
One thing I will never do is beg for sex. I’m a very good-looking man, got no worries.
