Image
The day wonders will end in this world would be another wonder. As we thought we has seen it all, the unthinkable has happened again and this time it is my male gender.  A married woman is seeking a divorce from her husband in court because he fled and hid inside the bathroom during a robbery attempt and emerged only after the thieves had left. The Nigerian woman, Asiata Oladejo, claims that she has "yet to recuperate from the shock" caused by witnessing her husband escape, leaving her and the kids all by themselves to endure the horrible anguish at the hands of the crooks. She testified before a Mapo Grade A Customary Court in Ibadan, Oyo State, Oladejo, that she has chosen to divorce her husband, Abidemi, since he is unreliable in trying circumstances

Image
  The NIA office was raided, and the printing equipment for the Ghana Card was stolen. It has come to light that thieves broke into a National Identification Authority (NIA) office in the Ahafo Region's Asunafo South constituency and stole equipment used to make Ghana Cards. On August 8, 2022, the local member of parliament, Eric Opoku, revealed that despite the burglary being reported to the police, no solid leads regarding the criminals have surfaced. According to Mr. Opoku, a member of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), the NIA office where the robbery took place has since been shut down, he told Okay FM. He made the following remarks about the radio station in Twi, which are translated into English as: "The government has set a deadline for SIM card registration, and your NIA office has been broken into. How are those who are qualified to register going to be able to register for their Ghana Cards, even their SIM cards, and perhaps their voter ID cards?...

AMENFI WEST PROSTITUTION BASE AND STRUCTURES WERE DEMOLITED The Chief Executive of Amenfi West Municipality, Hon. Lord Nana Tandoh, has led a taskforce to destroy numerous buildings that were being used by commercial sex workers in the Municipality as a base of operations and a gathering place for business. The aforementioned efforts are being carried out in mining regions since some miners and residents of the impacted villages appear to be satisfied with the Nigerian-dominated industry. In order to develop the Municipality, Hon. Lord Nana Tandoh led a team from the Municipal Security Council (MUSEC) made up of personnel from the Ghana Police Service, Immigration, National Security, and Fire service to break into and loot the buildings where the illegal activity takes place. In the center of Asankrangwa, Aboi Nkwanta, and Wassa Dunkwa are the structures, which are primarily composed of plywood and polythene.

                                                         Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, the minister of communication and digitalization, has extended the deadline for SIM registration until September 30, 2022. This happened after the deadline had passed and many citizens were still unable to register their cards. She claims that she was compelled to extend the date due to valid justifications provided by several parties, including telecommunications firms. The text of her entire news conference statement from July 31, 2022, in Accra is reproduced below. "The NIA was unable to provide the Ghana Card to all eligible individuals. The Ghana Card has been registered for by 16,969,034 people as of Thursday, July 21, 2022, and approximately 16,535,623 cards have been printed. While 832,904 cards have not yet been issued, 15,702,719 have." "Regarding Broadband ...

Communication minister, Ursula Owusu Ekuful The minister for communications and digitalization, Ursula Owusu, has stated that there will be no further extension of the deadline for sim card registration. She said this during a National Communications Authority forum in Kumasi. According to her, the sim card registration is very crucial because it will help lessen the prevalence of cyber crimes in the country. The exercise will make it possible to create a subscriber database with integrity to keep the customers safe from scams and fraud. She went on to urge all who have not yet linked their Ghana cards to the SIM cards to do so before the deadline. The SIM card registration began in October 2021 and was supposed to end in March 2022 but was extended to July 2022 due to the fact that a number of Ghanaians were not able to register their sim cards. About 12 million citizens have, however, been able to register their SIMs, representing a little over one third of the population of Ghana. S...
