Following a viral video posted yesterday exposing the poor state of the Kojokrom road and the heavy traffic it caused, the Mayor of the Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolitan Assembly (STMA), Lawyer FF Faidoo, has moved quickly to tackle the problem. This morning, under the Mayor’s instructions, the Department of Urban Roads began temporary reshaping works on the affected section. The works involve dredging, grading, leveling, and filling major potholes to improve traffic flow and ease delays for commuters and residents. The Mayor personally visited the site to oversee the emergency intervention, stressing that while this is only a short-term fix, a permanent reconstruction is already being planned in collaboration with the Ministry of Roads and Highways. He also expressed gratitude to the CEO of JustMoh Company for supporting the effort by supplying a 0-40 stone base to fill damaged portions of the road.

WHEN SORRY IN MARRIAGE BECOMES A POISON RATHER THAN A MEDICINE

-

Whosoever can easily say sorry when he or she is wrong is a strong and humble person. But whosoever says sorry when he or she is not wrong is neither strong nor humble because humility is not humiliation. People who say sorry when they're not wrong most times are not happy inwardly. They only say sorry in order to appease their partner who is obviously wrong. Where there is a huge misunderstanding and you say sorry for what you didn't do wrong just to save your relationship momentarily, this is understandable but it doesn't make it right neither should it become a norm or marital doctrine. Always saying sorry when you are not wrong will enslave you, destroy your sense of reasoning and ultimately makes your partner have wrong impression of himself or herself.

Christian virtue demands that a man should be sorry when he is wrong not to be told sorry when he is wrong. Marriage is more of a friendship relationship than boss and subordinate union. Even when you have a slave serving you, they shouldn't be subject to apologizing when they are not wrong. It will puncture their self-esteem at long run. It is wrong to force even our children to apologize to us when we are wrong. Strong parents will rather say "I'm sorry" when they wrong their children.

Scripturally and traditionally the husband is a king in marriage but his wife is not his slave.
The position of a wife is not different from that of a vice president to a president. Because responsibility laid it on her to be submissive to her husband does not make her inferior or second class citizen. Where there is genuine love, a wife does not have to always tell her husband "I'm sorry" when she is not wrong. Even though I had said sorry in few occasions as a husband when I thought I was not wrong but that is not a pattern in my marriage. But this happened when we didn't come to compromise on who was actually wrong, so as the head of the family I took the lead by making peace because I value my marriage and my wife.
I have a friend very close to me presently who is living in bondage because his wife has chronic hot temper and when she's angry the house can boil for several days and sometimes several weeks. She will never apologize except my friend makes the move. He is a pastor and to avoid talks and mockery from church members, neighbors and friends he will always go on his knees to say "I'm sorry" just to make it look like he is having a peaceful home. Because if his wife is angry, she shut down everything, e.g she stops going to church with him. He says sorry sometimes just to stop her from carrying out her threat of leaving the marriage. This is also happening because the woman is from a royal family and she is the breadwinner. Their two children had inherited that trait too.
Their 7 years old son was sent out of school because he slapped his classmate for no just cause and his teacher asked him to apologize to him but she refused. Even when the head teacher intervened he bluntly refused. His mum was invited to prevail on him to apologize but she saw no reason why her son should be humiliated and she threaten to withdraw her son from the school. The following day, he was expelled out of school. When my friend came back from his trip he was really disappointed.
Recently I advised him never to tell her sorry this time and allow her to carry out her threat for the first time. Since then she hasn't been to church neither has she say a word to him after two weeks and no peace in the family. Why was this case like this? Because that was what he started with. "Me I don't want trouble, I rather say sorry and let the trouble pass by". Unfortunately the troubles never passed by but stored up. Now she even brings up quarrel when there was no need of quarrel just because she knew oga will always come on his knees. What a pitiable marriage union.
We must train the next generation well. We must teach the boys and girls alike the essence of humility in marriage. We must not plant royalty in the man and plant slavery in the woman. They see what we do everyday and the seed will bear fruits tomorrow. Let's train our boys to be king and our girls to be queens.
Ephesians 5:21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.

Tragedy Strikes Agona Abodom: Festival Turns Deadly Amid Renewed Chieftaincy Dispute

What was meant to be a peaceful and joyous celebration in Agona Abodom has turned into a community-wide tragedy. The town, located in the Agona West Municipality of Ghana's Central Region, was plunged into chaos after violent clashes erupted during a traditional festival, leaving three people dead and many others seriously injured. According to reports, the violence stems from a deep-rooted chieftaincy dispute that has plagued the community for more than four decades. Though tensions had appeared to ease following the installation of Nana Osamdade Obrempong XI earlier this year, recent events suggest the conflict is far from over. The Attack: As traditional leaders and residents gathered to celebrate the festival, an opposing faction allegedly hired land guards to violently disrupt the occasion. Eyewitnesses say the assailants stormed the chief’s palace, damaging vehicles, tables, chairs, and other property before clashing with residents. “It was terrifying. We didn’t expect viole...

Cocoa Sacks and Cameras: When Dignity Died with the Dead

-
Image
In the annals of national tragedy, August 6th, 2025, will be remembered not only for the helicopter crash that claimed the lives of eight distinguished sons of Ghana, but for something far more disgraceful the stripping away of their dignity in death. Yes, a nation mourns. Yes, grief hangs thick in the air. But how did we become so numb to reverence, so desensitised to human worth, that we thought it appropriate, no, necessary to broadcast their remains live, and even more horrifying, to show their noble bodies shoved into cocoa sacks? Cocoa sacks? For the defenders of the realm? For the leaders, the trailblazers, the men who once wore the nation’s badge with pride? This is not only a tragedy of aircraft or altitude, but of attitude. The accident was sudden. The heartbreak, unimaginable. The silence of their departure, deafening. But what followed was even more deafening; the clatter of camera shutters, the relentless clicking of phones, the livestreams of agony, the footage of bodies,...

What started as a vibrant, joyous celebration in the town of Agona Abodom took a heartbreaking turn when clashes broke out between rival factions during the annual festival. The event, known for bringing together families, friends, and communities in a colorful display of culture and unity, ended in violence, panic, and widespread concern. The festival had begun peacefully, with traditional performances, music, and a strong sense of pride among attendees. Crowds filled the streets, dancing and sharing in the excitement. However, beneath the surface, tensions between opposing groups had been quietly building — and by afternoon, those tensions erupted into open confrontation. Captured in Real Time Photos and videos from the scene (included below) show the stark contrast: smiling faces in the morning, then fear, confusion, and chaos as the day wore on. Screams replaced songs, and what was once a celebration quickly became a scene of people fleeing, shouting, and trying to avoid danger. Ey...
