TAKE CARE OF YOUR HEARING

Image
Your hearing is hugely important. Not only is it one of your main senses, but it is actually directly and indirectly linked to many other health aspects which might be important to you too. Chances are unless you have had some kind of trouble with your hearing in the past, you haven’t really ever thought much about your hearing or what you might need to do to keep it in check. But taking care of your hearing is as important as looking after your eyesight or anything else of that nature. In this post, we will look at some of the essential things you will want to consider to make sure that you are going to take proper care of your hearing. Don’t Let It Worsen If you have noticed that your hearing has become a little worse as of late, it’s important that you don’t simply allow it to get even worse still. By doing that, you might well be causing long-term damage which you could otherwise avoid, and that is unlikely to be a wise way to go about things. Inst...

Ex-MASLOC Boss took GH¢500,000 in a ‘Ghana Must Go’ bag – Witness

Image
An Accra High Court yesterday heard how the former Chief Executive Officer of the Microfinance and Small Loans Centre (MASLOC), Christine Sedina Tamakloe Attionu, took an amount of GH¢500,000 in a ‘Ghana  Must Go’ bag at a filling station in Accra. The money was a refund of an investment MASLOC made in a private microfinance company, Obaatanpa Microfinance Company Limited, in 2014. The refund was necessitated by a high interest demanded on the investment made by the erstwhile managers of MASLOC under the leadership of Ms. Attionu. It would be recalled that the Attorney General at the beginning of the trial of the ex-MASLOC boss said the money was never returned to MASLOC, as she allegedly appropriated it. Trial Ms. Attionu and Daniel Axim, a former Operations Manager of MASLOC, are facing 78 counts of charges including conspiracy to steal, stealing, unauthorized commitment, resulting in a financial obligation for the government; improper payment, money l...

Speaking at the 3rd Chamber Business Awards 2018, Vice President Dr. Bawumia said by the end of next month, when ambulance numbers are called in times of distress, the problem of having to identify locations would be a thing of the past. “We are making sure that we have an ambulance management system to manage these ambulances.

Water Scarcity hits Sekondi-Takoradi

Image
Residents of Sekondi Takoradi have been battling water Scarcity for a week.  The shortage has badly affected the daily activities of residents since they had to walk for long distance to fetch water with regard to domestic and commercial activities. Residents who spoke to Egudzeonline say they are unhappy with Ghana Water Company for not alerting them before closing the taps. " At least they should  have known better by making proper announcement like how sometimes Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) announced." They stated. The unexpected situation has left many to rely on other unhygienic sources of water, a situation that could cause water - borne diseases. However, some consumers now rely heavily on sachet water for bathing, cooking and other activities. Sometimes one had to skip bath due to water shortage in Sekondi Takoradi. Residents of Sekondi Takoradi and its environs have been battling some temporal water crisis,  since Monday Novemb...

Western Togoland: Blame UK & UN, not Ghana

Image
Ever heard of the Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organisation (UNPO)? It is an international organisation whose “members are groups of indigenous peoples, minorities, unrecognised states and occupied territories that have joined together to defend their political, social and cultural right… and to promote their right to self-determination”. The literature describes them as non-violent, but one only has to remember the terror that is threatening to break up Cameroun because of the activities of the Ambazonia separatists, or the daily bombings that rocked the Niger Delta of Nigeria by separatists in Ogoniland. Guess the latest name I saw listed among UNPO. Western Togoland! Its mouthpiece is the Homeland Study Group Foundation, the group agitating for a break-away of Volta Region from Ghana. Last November 16, the group did hold a press conference and declared Western Togoland independent. They are already claiming that the Akosombo Dam is in their ‘country’ and “wa...
