Former Miss Ambassador for Peace, Beauty Istifanus, has said in a chat with Vanguard that the issue of domestic  violence has continued to be on the increase mainly because more women have refused to submit to their men.  The beauty queen also buttressed her belief that women are inferior to men and that gender equality is impossible. “Gender equality is not possible in this part of the world because men are superior to women. This is my own opinion and I’m unapologetic about it. The major cause of domestic violence in homes today is the unwillingness of the wife to be submissive to her husband, thereby bringing friction between them. My advice to women is that they should be submissive to their husbands and in return they will be respected.”  she said

The President of the Republic, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, says his government is going to use oil revenues to create assets for the country, and not waste it on consumption. According to President Akufo-Addo, as a relatively new entrant in the league of oil-producing countries, Ghana is not going to treat her oil like she has done with gold, and allow it to be exported in its raw material form as crude. Ghana’s oil, President Akufo-Addo explained, presents the country with the perfect opportunity to transform the structure of Ghanaian economy through industrialization and value-added commercial activities. “Our oilfields provide us with the perfect opportunity to create a petrochemical industry in Ghana. We have begun the processes leading to the setting up of a gas feedstock industrial estate in the Western Region of the country,” he said. The President indicated further that “we intend to convert our petrochemicals into hundreds of industrial and consumer products produced in G...

Former President John Kufuor has attributed Ghana’s slow pace of development to failed leadership. Mr. Kufuor believes a mineral-rich country like Ghana should have been better developed than currently is the case. The former president said most of the country’s leaders across sectors are performing poorly because they were forced into those positions. He was speaking at the launch of an endowment fund for the John Agyekum Kufuor Foundation in Accra. The problem of unprepared leaders is not limited to Ghana, it pervasive in much of Africa, he said.But “I don’t blame the leaders because many of them wereforced into leadership positions; they were not prepared;…you cannot give leadership in any sector [to anybody] without they being prepared in terms of knowledge and experience and exposure,” he stressed. Mr. Kufour wants the process of preparing the country’s leaders to be focused on the youth, who form the foundation for Ghana’s leap to prosperity. He said businesses in a develop...

Mother’s Day means big business for retailers. This year is no different — shoppers will spend an average of $180 per mom. If you hate all of the commercialization behind the day that celebrates moms, imagine how Anna Jarvis would feel now. The holiday’s founder worked so hard to get the world to give moms everywhere a shoutout. But before her death, even she had to admit she had some regrets about starting Mother’s Day. If she were alive now, she’d probably be living her worst nightmare.She just wanted to honor her momLong before her death, Jarvis’ mom Ann Reeves Jarvis hoped someone would dedicate a day to honor mothers. When she died on May 9, 1905, Jarvis set out to do just that. She began campaigning not only for her mom but for moms everywhere. It started off with her hometown of Grafton, West Virginia, which takes credit for hosting the first official Mother’s Day celebration three years later at Andrews Methodist Episcopal Church. Since then,the church has been dubbed the “...
