The Oba Adejuyigbe Adefunmi of Oyotunji African Village, Southern Carolina, United States of America, is seen below having his leisure time. Last year, Oba Adejuyigba Adefunmi of the Yoruba community in the U.S revealed that he has seven wives. ”My wives are in Canada, Atlanta, Oyotunji, Virginia and different places. African people always did things upfront as opposed to doing it closed doors. European people would sneak out of the big house, go into the plantation and sleep with all the slave girls, then sneak back into the house like nothing ever happened”. ”That is not the case with African men. I like to quote the great Fela Kuti who said that African men don’t run around the street chasing women. Instead, he brings the women to his house and surrounds himself with them as he sits in one spot. At Oyotunji everybody does not practise polygamy, it is reserved for only the people that can afford it. It requires a lot of money and land. That scares people away from polygamy a...

Former President John Dramani Mahama has taken a swipe at the governing New Patriotic Party urging the government to focus on transforming the country instead of baselessly crucifying former appointees in the media. According to him, if the government has evidence of corruption against any of the former appointees, they should use due process and pursue them in court instead of using what he described as “media trial.” “This trial by newspaper affects the credibility of the government. If you hear that several sums of money have gone missing yet no one has been arrested for prosecution, then you are destroying the confidence of people in the credibility of the government. So the trial by media must stop,” he said. Ever since the NPP assumed office, the government has accused some former officials of the Mahama administration of causing financial loss to the state.Somegovernment communicators recently said the Tema Oil Refinery could not account for an amount of GHc150 billion from i...
