Christmas is a hugely popular holiday celebrated by some 2 billion people worldwide. It's become such an ingrained part of modern culture that even people in nations with little or no Christian history or tradition are celebrating it in increasing numbers. Christmas is so big that it plays a key role in the economies of many nations. Christmas is big— very big. Schools and colleges commonly take a week or longer break at this time, some businesses shut down to give their employees time off, many families plan trips and get-togethers, and some people darken the door of a church for perhaps the first time all year. So it's not surprising that when people say to me happy christmas , I get some pretty shocked looks when I tell people I don't celebrate christmas. So what's up with this? Why would anyone not want to celebrate christmas like nearly everybody else? Are there valid reasons for not participating in the media driven christmas. Christmas is driven by commercia...

I was not into dancehall but 'like my thing' by shatta wale made me love dancehall a bit. Lyrics was on point, the voice was spectacular, video was on point. Shatta Wale is very talented and has taken Ghana music to different level. My dad always become happy anytime he sees shatta wale performing and that made me love Shatta. Not all the artiste will love or understand him though but as long as God and his fans got his back, he is safe. I have never come across any musician with loyal fans than Shatta Wale. Dude is blessed seriously. Thanks to all the shatta movement for the love and support. Keep on supporting him. By Festus Anim Ahenkorah.

King Goodwill Zwelithini praised the apartheid era during an event in Nongoma at the weekend. The National Party, he said, had built a powerful government with the strongest economy and army on the continent, but then came "this so-called democracy" in which black people started destroying the gains of the past. The king said history would judge black people harshly as they had failed to build on the successes of the Afrikaner regime. The king was speaking at his kwaKhethomthandayo royal palace in Nongoma on Saturday night during a celebration of his 44 years on the throne. He said black people "loved to use matches" to burn down infrastructure built during apartheid. Delivering a speech which ended just after midnight, the king told hundreds of people packed into a big marquee that he felt lucky that he was born the same year the National Party came to power in 1948. The king's speech came in the wake of a series of anti-government statements made by the...

Is the title for Today's Motivational Message Written by Counselor Adofoli I have lived with babies before; at one moment they want food, at the next they don't want it again. They don't seem to know what they want and parent always decide for them, whether they want or not. But growing up, they begin to make decisions on their own, knowing what they want and what they don't. Strange enough there people who claim they love you today, the next day they are out of love. They get back the next year yet with a different story. They have succeeded in turning your emotions into a switch; they put it on when they want it and turn it off when they don't want it. When asked why, they just they don't know. Only babies don't know what they want. Emotional maturity is one of the requirements of relationships, one has to be decisive. In the last two days, I met with a tertiary student who is a victim of such a relationship. She couldn't eat, sleep or study; just rest...

Women are less prone to memory problems in old age but men are less likely to be affected by disabilities, a study suggests. The amount of time that men spent in a state of 'mild cognitive impairment' increased slightly, scientists from Newcastle and Cambridge Universities found. It contradicts other research which predicts that rates of dementia will increase as people live for longer. However, men's life expectancy has increased more than women's since the 1990s, the research showed. Between 1991 and 2011, the remaining lifespan of women aged 65 in England went up by 3.6 years, and that of men by 4.5 years. While for women the amount of time spent coping with moderate or severe disability had increased by seven months, and with mild disability by 2.5 years, the same trend was not seen in men. Men had only 1.3 more years of mild disability and saw no increase at all in the length of time they were affected by moderate or severe disability. Male Female Brian Wor...

President John Mahama has accused the media of peddling falsehood in their reportage of a recent corruption perception report. Many accounts of the report ranked Ghana as the second most corrupt country in Africa, but according to the president, the reports were misleading as the survey conducted by Transparency International only sought to establish whether corruption in their respective countries was increasing or not. He said, "This report was not an index and did not seek to rank countries in order of perception of corruption as the CPI normally does. The simple and straight forward question that respondents to the survey were asked was how has the level of corruption in your country changed in the past year? Has it increased, decreased or remained the same?" Transparency International last week released a Corruption Perception Index (CPI) rating Ghana as the country with the second highest respondents (about 71 per cent) saying that corruption had increased over the l...
