Dear GhanaWeb: I have to beg my wife to have sex with me
When we began the relationship, she requested that she wanted to abstain from sex till we got married, and I agreed with the terms she proposed. That night, I had prepared myself to give my wife hot, steamy sex since it was the first time we were going to do it. From that day till now, I always have to fight her before she gives me sex. So, if you’re okay, why do you let me beg you for sex before you give me some?

Cocoa prices soar to highest in 45 years while Ghana farmers struggle to get paid
As cocoa reached its highest level on the commodities markets since 1978, there are also reports of Ghana’s cocoa farmers claiming they have not been paid by Cocobod, the county’s regulatory body, exasperating an already severe situation after some companies were accused of not paying the full price to farmers for their cocoa. The farmers are obliged by law to sell their beans to Cocobod, but it has not paid them. Surging pricesMeanwhile, the tightening supply of cocoa is mainly attributed to lower crop yields in Ghana and Cote d’Ivoire, the two largest cocoa producers. With skyrocketing cocoa prices in New York, price hikes by major companies in the industry are just one consequence. The long-term effects could also have an impact not only on the farmers but also on producing countries and consumers.

NPP Delegates Weren’t Allowed To Choose Their Choice – Buaben Asamoa
A former Communications Director for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Yaw Buaben Asamoa has indicated that the delegates of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) were not allowed to choose their choice of candidate as flagbearer for the 2024 polls. “The import of skewing the election is that there wasn’t a genuine choice. Delegates were not given the room to select a person of their choice... it means that the person that the party has brought may not necessarily reflect the choice of voters in Ghana,” he said. Because voters have evolved faster than the NDC and NPP. Please report any inappropriate content to us, and we will evaluate it as a matter of priority.

Otumfuo Osei Tutu II is not a King – Historian Anokye Frimpong
General News of Sunday, 12 November 2023Source: www.ghanaweb.comYaw Anokye Frimpong, a lawyer and a historian, has asserted that the overlord of the Ashanti land, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, is not a king, as suggested by some factions in the public. According to him, the Asantehene is not a king because the Ashanti Kingdom, which used to be very prominent in the past, no longer exists and the laws of the country, which the Otumfuo himself is subject to, do not support the establishment of kings. The historian, who made these remarks in an interview with GhanaWeb, added that Asantehene is a paramount chief and not a king as in the likes of King Charles II of England because kings are normally the head of state of their country and are not subject to any state institution. “The words kingdom and king are not in Ghana’s chieftaincy laws and regulations. TWI NEWSThe historian, however, noted that the Asantehene is a “super paramount chief” because he has powers that no other paramount chief in Ghana has.
