Afriyie Acquah Set To Divorce Amanda Over Leaked Photos.

Footballer, Afriyie Acquah is set to divorce his wife, Amanda Owusu just a little over a year after their marriage. A calculated attempt to shame Amanda on social media with semi-nude photos she allegedly sent to another man, might have been the last straw that broke the camel’s back for Afriyie Acquah, according to yen.com.gh The photos that have been circulating on Instagram and WhatsApp show a woman seductively flaunting her voluptuous boobs with little care. According to a source, Afriyie Acquah was upset by the photos and has decided to say ‘enough is enough’ to Amanda. Another source also revealed that Amanda has changed the password for Afriyie Acquah’s Instagram, and she is using the photo-sharing medium to paint a perfect picture that all is well with the footballer’s marriage. Afriyie Acquah married Amanda on July 19, 2014. Amanda Owusu who is also the ex-wife of businessman Kennedy Agyepong of Kenpong Group of Companies, gained widespread notoriety when she threatened to release pictures showing Asamoah Gyan, Sulley Muntari, Michael Essien, John Painstil, Boakye Yiadom, Sheyi Adebayor and others having sexual intercourse with the millionaire’s fiancĂ©e, Mona Moutrage.

Doctors Strike Is Illegal; We Can't Single Out One Group.... And Accede To Their Demands.. Prez Mahama Talk Tough.

"Nobody must die because of an illegal strike, the strike is illegal, absolutely illegal," - President Mahama said during an interview with Uniq FM on Wednesday. Lauding moves to deny striking doctors their August salary, President John Dramani Mahama indicated that the planned action falls in line with the Labour laws and will be enforced to ensure sanity. “The labour law says that nobody should negotiate under duress, and that is what has led us to where we've always come back to...And its's not on doctors alone who are in the business of giving health to people, we have the nurses, we have the midwives, we have the X-ray technicians, we have the laboratory technicians, we have the pharmacists, we even have the cleaners..." Speaking to State broadcaster Uniq FM to mark World Youth Day, President Mahama questioned why doctors are on strike over conditions government is making efforts to fulfil – “It’s the first time being introduced [conditions of service], so it takes a process”. “We can’t single out one group of the health workers and accede to those demands...it’s not as simple as it is,” he added. The president further described the Ghana Medical Association's ongoing strike as “illegal” – after insisting that they must end it - “We are taking remedial actions, and I say they should go back”. "Even before negotiations begun they declared strike. Nobody must die as a result of an illegal strike. The doctors strike is illegal…The doctors must go back to work while negotiations continue in good faith,” he said. Members of the GMA have insisted that they will not return to work unless government provides them with their conditions of service. The striking doctors are yet to resume work after declaring their nationwide strike two weeks ago. But the president countered that “If we don’t live by our laws we’ll go back to the jungle” whiles stressing that their demands are being negotiated. "It's not about 2,800 doctors, it's about another 5,900 and something who are waiting to see what the linkages are and say alright you gave doctors this, we too are demanding this and they can also go on strike," he told the state broadcaster.

Let's wait to see the outcome of it.

Arthur Kennedy Writes To Prez Mahama.

Politician, author and physician, Dr Arthur Kobina Kennedy believes while President Mahama’s remarks on the demands by doctors for improved service conditions appear consistent with his “dead goat philosophy”, his “posture is unfortunate.” Read Dr. Kennedy’s open letter below. MR. PRESIDENT, NEGOTIATE AND SAVE LIVES Irmo, South Carolina 9TH August, 2015 Your Excellency, RE: NEGOTIATING WITH THE DOCTORS I have read with alarm, your comments regarding the curtailment of services by Ghanaian doctors. While your remarks appear consistent with your “dead goat philosophy”, your posture is unfortunate. To add to your remarks, NDC officials and communicators have taken to the airwaves to applaud your posture, to belittle the doctors and to openly call for replacing them with Cubans. These developments are delaying, unfortunately, the difficult negotiations that must occur to halt the needless loss of lives. The Cuban solution, considering cost and the language barriers that reduce their effectiveness, is spiteful and wasteful diversion. Mr. President, every day that this crisis is not resolved will take a toll--- in lives—the lives of innocent citizens. In this case, your Excellency, TIME IS LIFE! Sir, you have sworn an oath to dedicate yourself to the “service and well-being of the people “and the doctors have sworn to “first, do no harm” to people. Both you and the Doctors must live up to your oaths. I know you care about the lives of the innocents caught in this cross-fire. I know that the Doctors are led by a man who takes his oath to do no harm seriously. I know because when I worked with you to resolve an earlier strike by Doctors, you conveyed that to me in the strongest terms. I also know of Dr. Opoku Adusei’s unbending commitment to medicine and his patients because he has expressed them to me and lived that commitment in my presence repeatedly. Your Excellency, regardless of the mistakes that may have been made in presenting their grievances, the doctors have legitimate grievances. How can you justify having people work for nearly a year without pay? How can those who care for others not have adequate provision for their care when they need it? I urge you to move expeditiously to resolve this crisis as only you can. While you must not negotiate out of fear, sir, you must never fear to negotiate. While you get down to the negotiating table, I urge you to silence and rebuke those in your party who have made this a partisan issue. Disease and death are not partisan and we must stop the pretense that there is partisan advantage to be gained from this crisis. Any politician, regardless of party, who puts partisan advantage ahead of the lives of Ghanaians is, quite simply, a traitor to Ghana. I commend to your Excellency and the leaders of the doctors, the words of Isaiah 1:18 “Come, let us reason together”. Finally, when this crisis is over, Mr. President, lead a national conversation on the crisis in healthcare and on the labour front. Is it time to abandon the Single Spine Salary System? Is there a need to look at additional revenues for NHIS, including an increase in existing taxes and the raising of new revenue--- from health professionals who were educated by Ghana and are practicing elsewhere? May God bless you. May God bless Ghana. Let move forward, together! Sincerely, Your Vandal Mate, Arthur Kobina Kennedy His Excellency John Mahama, President of Ghana Jubilee House, Accra.
