I can’t explain the joy I felt doing this interview.
My guest is Mrs. Charlotte Brookman-Amissah, a retired nutritionist with a remarkable career spanning decades.
And guess what? She turns 90 on Thursday.
I asked her the secret to staying fit and healthy at 90, and she graciously shared some valuable tips with me.

31 days to go - There were 31 passes in the build-up to Mohammed Kudus' goal for 🇬🇭 Ghana against 🇰🇷 Korea Republic at the 2022 @FIFAWorldCup.
That's the most passes before a goal scored by an African nation in World Cup history. Slick.

@seth_doe22 What about those lands that are for the family for farming, and then the town expands onto them, and now it's being demarcated for sale? What's the process around that, Lawyer?
“Imagine working for a company for years… then one day they send you a letter saying:
‘We are giving you the first offer to buy the company house you live in for US$70,307. Payment within 6 months.’
That was exactly what happened in the famous Ghanaian case of NTHC Ltd v. Antwi.
Yaa Antwi was a senior employee at NTHC and lived in one of the company houses at East Legon.
The company wrote to her officially:
You can buy the house.
Price stated.
Payment period stated.
Deadline for acceptance stated.
So Antwi replied:
‘I accept.’
Simple.
At that moment, she believed the deal was done.
But then…
Months later…
After she had left the company…
NTHC suddenly changed its mind.
They wrote back saying:
‘We are withdrawing the offer. We need the house for new management staff.’
Then they asked her to vacate the property.
Now the real legal battle started.
NTHC argued:
‘That letter was not an actual offer.
It was only an invitation to treat.’
In simple English:
They claimed they were only ‘testing interest,’ not making a binding promise.
But Antwi argued:
‘No.
You gave a specific house.
A specific price.
A payment timeline.
And I accepted.
That is a contract.’
The case went all the way to the Supreme Court of Ghana.
And the Supreme Court agreed with Antwi.
The Court said:
An offer becomes legally binding when it shows FINALITY and certainty.
NTHC’s letter was not vague.
It was not casual negotiation.
It contained clear contractual terms.
Once Antwi accepted it, a valid contract was formed.
So NTHC could not simply wake up later and withdraw it.
The Court ordered specific performance — meaning the company had to proceed with the sale.
This case became one of Ghana’s most important contract law cases on:
• Offer vs invitation to treat
• Acceptance
• Formation of contracts
• Specific performance
Big lesson from the case:
In law, wording matters.
A single letter can become a binding contract if it shows clear intention to be legally bound.”
One word. LEADERSHIP. One of the many telling things LKY did was to use 'Housing' to prevent brain drain and public protests. He allowed citizens to tap into their pensions in owning homes. With this, the vibrant workforce felt the 'owned' part of the nation, stayed.. 1/
@Kyekyequ 💯. That's an interesting leadership strategy. By allowing citizens to use their pensions for housing, he effectively created a sense of ownership and stakeholding among the population.
@gyaigyimii It's interesting how some drivers completely disregard common sense while driving. I'm surprised that the area where the accident would have occurred — the side of the road — seems to be filled with sand. Is this a known accident-prone area?
