Why January has ‘60 days’
Business News of Sunday, 4 January 2026Source: www.ghanaweb.comYou may have heard the term “January has 60 days” before, whether at your workplace, at home, or just somewhere around. Surveys reveal that many people blame Christmas spending for January's financial strain, with many reporting regret and increased debts. This extended gap forces people to stretch limited funds further, especially after the holiday spending depletes their funds. Additionally, for many with children of school going age, school resumes, along with school fees, stationaries and additional expenses for the children. And the time spent waiting for the January salary can indeed feel like 60 days.

They allegedly betrayed Kwame Nkrumah
Well, in this GhanaWeb article, we reflect on the names and the personalities of the people who betrayed Kwame Nkrumah; people who were mostly very close to the country’s first president. Right after the coup, Quayson-Sackey returned to Accra and pledged his loyalty to the men who had illegally seized power. To fully understand the situation, it is worth stating that Dr Kwame Nkrumah was on his way to Hanoi, Vietnam, at the invitation of President Ho Chi Minh as the Vietnam War was ongoing, and Nkrumah had been invited to help mediate peace. Nkrumah later described this act as a betrayal. Eric Otoo appears in accounts of early CPP politics as one of the figures who fell out with Kwame Nkrumah during the turbulent years after independence.
