Piece by Fentuo hits several spots. A good line:
"The truth is uncomfortable.
The public isn’t consistently interested in the ideas that can transform Ghana football.
They’re interested in the Black Stars."
The hope is that people will actually read this. Hopefully.
“I am not surprised that the lawyers for Bernard Antwi Boasiako have filed for a plea bargain, as some of his responses to questions from party executives were a bit concerning to me,” says Kwasi Kwarteng, former spokesperson for the Ministry of Education.

Benjamin Mendy was charged with eight counts of rape, attempted rape, and sexual assault involving around six women. He was arrested, suspended by Manchester City, and held in custody for months.
After a lengthy trial and retrial, he was acquitted on all charges. He lost key years of his career at his peak, while his accusers faced no consequences.
The Thomas Partey case shows why the presumption of innocence is essential: no one’s livelihood should be destroyed by allegations alone, only by a proven guilty verdict in court.

For a man of God and MP, Rev Ntim Fordjour has to exhibit candor in public discussions. I just watched his press conference and I want to address his duplicity
First video is him in Parliament saying he didn’t object to any amendments from clause 1-8
2nd video, he’s against
Rev Ntim Fordjour on Friday shared this proposed amendment on the order paper and one sub clause he said would encourage promotion acts proscribed by the bill was 9(d)
If he was attentive, the Majority called for its deletion and the house voted to delete that
Let’s be serious

South Africans have been attacking Nigerians for years. No proper actions from Nigerian officials.
South Africans confront one Ghanaian. We summoned their ambassador and we have escalated the issue to be put on AU’s agenda!
This is Ghana we deserve. 24/7!
Can we make Ablakwa Prime Minister? The Foreign Ministry is becoming too small for him la.
The curved line outside the penalty box is not decorative. It has one job. And it is more important than most people realise.
It is called the penalty arc.
That small D-shaped curve sitting just outside the top of the penalty area. A lot of fans have even looked at it thousands of times without ever stopping to ask what it actually does.
Here is the answer.
Under Law 14 of the IFAB Laws of the Game, every player except the penalty taker and the goalkeeper must be at least 9.15 metres away from the penalty spot when a penalty kick is taken.
The arc is simply how that rule is drawn onto the pitch.
The penalty spot is 11 metres from the goal line. The penalty area itself only extends 5.5 metres behind that spot toward the halfway line.
Without the arc, a defender could legally stand right on the edge of the box, just 5.5 metres from the spot, and that would violate the required distance without technically breaking any visible boundary.
The arc closes that gap. It is drawn with a 9.15-metre radius centred exactly on the penalty mark, bulging outward to guarantee that every player behind it is the correct distance away.
That is its only function. It plays no role in free kicks, corners or any other situation in open play. The moment the penalty is taken, the arc becomes irrelevant again until the next one.
Referees check it before every penalty kick. Players who step inside it before the ball is struck are penalised for encroachment.
