African Court bid farewell to immediate past President
“It is indeed under President Oré’s leadership that the African Court attained its highest productivity, obviously negotiating significant increases in both the duration of sessions, and financial resources allocated by the African Union. “Justice Oré devoted an outstanding commitment to seeing the African Court face some of its greatest challenges, which manifested during both his two terms in a complex cooperation with states. “In the face of the wave of states withdrawals from the African Court, it is only fair to praise President Oré and his team for earning the institution more ratifications and more declarations due to the incessant visibility work deployed over the past four years,” the African Court President stated. Such qualities cannot be taken for granted, which is why we are here to celebrate his legacy to the African Court,” Lady Justice Aboud stated. Justice Ore in brief a remark commended the current leadership of the African Court for the honour of acknowledging his service as President of the African Continent Court.

Man explains why straight women are caught up in marriages with gay men
"Many will disagree with me especially straight women who are caught up in the web of getting married to gay men. A gay man who is in a sexual relationship with another gay man cannot marry, if he does, he could end up in jail for 40 years. "Next time before posting a comment on social media questioning why gay men are marrying straight women, think about the society you have contributed to create. Until we allow gay people to marry gay people... nothing will make them marry a woman. It could be you a gay man will get married to, your sister, your Aunt or your best friend.

Our drivers are not formally trained but they are better drivers - GPRTU defends its own
The virtual conference includes stakeholders who have been carefully selected to discuss viable ways of curbing the road accident canker on Ghana's roads. “The way the industry was started, we have most illiterates as professional drivers but let’s ask ourselves that any time accidents occur, does it come from these illiterates or does it come from the trained drivers that he is referring to? The answer is no because most of these illiterate drivers are the ones who drive perfectly and they drive very well and so he can’t describe professional drivers as so-called professional drivers,” he said in response to a comment by the MTTD representative during the webinar. Abbas Ibrahim Moro further clarified that admittedly, most of their drivers do not formally get training before hitting the roads to drive but it is unfair they are categorized as somewhat unprofessional or unfit for the roads. The discussions are being moderated by the GhanaWebRoadSafety Ambassador, Bice Osei Kuffour, and GhanaWeb Managing Editor, Daniel Oduro.

The youth and aged can be mutually inclusive in governance - Social commentator
He explained that for both sides of the coin, each one can work together with the other to promote development in the sub-region. Irbard Ibrahim was speaking on The Lowdown on GhanaWeb TV when he made these comments. Even in Ghana, we have the #FixTheCountry, in Nigeria, we saw #EndSARS and what the youth wanted to do; they wanted to push the [envelope] further that beyond the dissolution of the Special Armed Robbery Response Squad, they wanted something else. “And so, I don’t think it’s an either-or situation: the youth and the aged can be mutually inclusive.
