The football exhibited by the national soccer team in 90 minutes against the Chipolopolo of Zambia, cannot win any tournament. That is the bottom line. http://news.peacefmonline.com/editorial/201202/94112.php http://news.peacefmonline.com/editorial/201202/94066.php Koku Anyidoho, the President’s Spokesperson, has reportedly stated that President John Evans Atta Mills’s integrity has soared. The enhancement, according to him, was fueled by the Woyome debacle. http://news.peacefmonline.com/editorial/201202/94066.php http://news.peacefmonline.com/editorial/201202/93117.php In Prof. John Evans Atta Mills’ so-called ‘Better Ghana’ where an orange sells at Gp50 in Accra, it is next to impossible to pay for any goods or services of any substance with less than two Ghana cedis. http://news.peacefmonline.com/editorial/201202/93117.php http://news.peacefmonline.com/editorial/201202/92974.php The mobile phone craze appears to be defying all rules of decency and discipline. A young lady is crossing a busy street in an Accra suburb, taking advantage of the slowed down car close to her. http://news.peacefmonline.com/editorial/201202/92974.php http://news.peacefmonline.com/editorial/201202/92604.php Boko Haram is not a Nigeria-only security challenge. It poses a major sub-regional headache whose solution lies in a containment approach by the membership of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). http://news.peacefmonline.com/editorial/201202/92604.php http://news.peacefmonline.com/editorial/201201/91921.php The refusal of the Managing Director of the Metro Mass Transit Company to hire out buses to convey New Patriotic Party (NPP) supporters to Sekondi’s Essipong Stadium sounded like a wild rumour at first. It was too absurd to be credible, given especially that the company is state-owned. http://news.peacefmonline.com/editorial/201201/91921.php http://news.peacefmonline.com/editorial/201201/91482.php This month marks the third anniversary of the assumption of office of President John Evans Attah Mills and his NDC government. Exactly eleven months from now, Ghana will embark another political journey to decide the future direction of the country: another Presidential and Parliamentary election slated for December 2012. This means that President Mills is in the last quarter of his four-year mandate. http://news.peacefmonline.com/editorial/201201/91482.php http://news.peacefmonline.com/editorial/201201/91176.php We are at a loss as to what exactly is happening to this country. http://news.peacefmonline.com/editorial/201201/91176.php http://news.peacefmonline.com/editorial/201201/91171.php Whatever prompted the dismissal of Lawyer Martin Amidu from President John Evans Atta Mills’s team, the truth is still beyond the ken of many Ghanaians. It is doubtful whether the truth will be out anytime soon given the determination of the Presidency to cover the Woyome debacle and subdue the details surrounding the ouster of the former Attorney General (AG). http://news.peacefmonline.com/editorial/201201/91171.php http://news.peacefmonline.com/editorial/201201/90078.php The announcement from the seat of Government that President John Evans Atta Mills has relieved the Attorney-General, Martin Amidu, of his post, has the potential of advertising to the international community that Ghana, under the current Head of State, has no stomach for fighting corruption. http://news.peacefmonline.com/editorial/201201/90078.php http://news.peacefmonline.com/editorial/201201/89406.php The internet in Ghana has become a platform for committing crime and watching pornographic videos and pictures, rather than a medium for transacting genuine business, making friends and educating oneself. http://news.peacefmonline.com/editorial/201201/89406.php http://news.peacefmonline.com/editorial/201201/89079.php Earlier this week, Accra witnessed a gory accident within one of the city’s outskirts. It was one of those accidents referred to as freaky by the nature of their oddness and unusualness. http://news.peacefmonline.com/editorial/201201/89079.php http://news.peacefmonline.com/editorial/201201/88601.php The circumstances underpinning the death of an eight-month-old pregnant woman at the Kwesimintsim Polyclinic in the Western region is a frightening reflection of the challenges of accessing medical attention in Ghana. http://news.peacefmonline.com/editorial/201201/88601.php http://news.peacefmonline.com/editorial/201201/88146.php Warmest greetings, Abusuapanin. I hope the recent New Year gift from the president in the form of increment in petroleum products has not put your budget out of gear. http://news.peacefmonline.com/editorial/201201/88146.php http://news.peacefmonline.com/editorial/201201/87831.php Straight to the point, President Atta Mills’ Attorney General & Justice Minister, Mr. Martin Amidu, is a big disappointment and an albatross hanging around the neck of the Better Ghana agenda. http://news.peacefmonline.com/editorial/201201/87831.php http://news.peacefmonline.com/editorial/201201/87479.php A new year has finally dawned, but the bitter memories of the corruption-laced twilight of the disturbing chapter in our history continue to resonate across the country. http://news.peacefmonline.com/editorial/201201/87479.php http://news.peacefmonline.com/editorial/201112/86395.php The year 2011 is in its death throes, leaving the political scene fraught with oddities. The Information Minister, John Tia Akologo, is one such oddity, although no match for the Woyomegate debacle. http://news.peacefmonline.com/editorial/201112/86395.php http://news.peacefmonline.com/editorial/201112/85298.php It is 10 days to Christmas. But, the usual hustle and bustle of activities that herald the annual celebrations is completely absent. In place of the excitement that builds up to the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, some 2,000 years ago, the average Ghanaian is looking forward to the event in anxiety. http://news.peacefmonline.com/editorial/201112/85298.php http://news.peacefmonline.com/editorial/201112/84806.php There is widespread agreement in the Ghanaian society that the illegal import and export, as well as local peddling and consumption, of narcotic drugs such as cocaine, heroin, marijuana, etc, are no longer just a threat to the lives of individual users of those drugs but also pose real danger to the peace, order and stability of society. http://news.peacefmonline.com/editorial/201112/84806.php http://news.peacefmonline.com/editorial/201112/84547.php The story of four students who went on an abortive armed robbery mission made disturbing headlines last week. It broke the hearts of many a parent as they imagined the possibility of their children embroiled in a similar aberration outside the boarding school they were supposed to be in. http://news.peacefmonline.com/editorial/201112/84547.php
