Ghanaians Commit To Peace After Supreme Court Verdict

-

The Chairman of the National Peace Council, Most Reverend Professor Emmanuel Asante, has asked Ghanaians to advance the country's democracy by keeping faith in the Constitution and abiding by the decisions of its institutions. 

The parties in the Supreme Court petition hearing must therefore accept the outcome either way it goes.

Speaking at a National summit on the theme,'' Justice, Peace and Reforms will strengthen Ghana'', Professor Asante noted that the country since the inception of the 4th Republic pulled together in difficult elections. 

A better opportunity has even come in the petition hearing for the country to hold together and prove to the world that their democracy is matured.


Professor Asante said the public should take a cue from the joint action taken by the Counsel in the petition hearing where they unanimously pleaded for the first contemptuous victim. 

This example, he said, teaches us to reach out to our political opponents and come together to overcome many hurdles.

Meanwhile, the Metropolitan Archbishop of Accra, Most Rev Gabriel Palmer Buckle, says Ghanaians must reflect on the words in the National Anthem that reminds them of their responsibilities of ensuring peace in the country. 

He said God has an agenda for the nation, stressing that despite the tribulations and worries that characterised the election petition hearing, Ghanaians must have confidence in God to do a new thing. Arch Bishop Palmer Buckle tasked those in religion to be fervent in prayer to build the peace in the country. 

In a related development, media practitioners have been reminded of the significance of the ethics that guide the profession. 
Speaking at the National Summit in Accra, the President of the Ghana Journalists Association, Roland Affail Monney said though there cannot be true democracy without a free and vibrant media, the onus lies on the media to refrain from publications and news items that have the tendency to incite passions and create tension.

Why do you want to kill yourself?

Imagine this. You come home from school one day. You’ve had yet another horrible day. You’re just ready to give up. So you go to your room, close the door, and take out that suicide note you’ve written and rewritten over and over and over You take out those razor blades, and cut for the very last time. You grab that bottle of pills and take them all. Laying down, holding the letter to your chest, you close your eyes for the very last time. A few hours later, your little brother knocks on your door to come tell  you  dinners ready. You don’t answer, so he walks in. All he sees is you laying on your bed, so he thinks you’re asleep. He tells your mom this. Your mom goes to your room to wake you up. She notices something is odd. She grabs the paper in your hand and reads it. Sobbing, she tries to wake you up. She’s screaming your name. Your brother, so confused, runs to go tell Dad that “Mommy is crying and sissy won’t wake up....

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo There are strong indications that efforts by the Peoples Democratic Party to make former President Olusegun Obasanjo to have a rethink  on his decision to stay away from the party’s activities  have failed.  Investigations on Thursday showed that Obasanjo insisted when the new PDP National Chairman, Adamu Mu’azu visited him on January 26, that Jonathan  must  honour his alleged promise in 2011 not to contest the 2015 presidential election. A very reliable  PDP national officer  confided in  The PUNCH that  Obasanjo also  gave  other conditions that the new leadership of the party must meet before he would have a change of mind.  They include the restructuring of the party as well as   the correction of the  anomalies relating to the removal of Olagunsoye Oyinlola as the national secretary of the PDP  and Bode Mustapha  as  national auditor in early...

Many Nigerians have since reacted in different ways to the private session which they had in the Wii hours of the night in the Big Brother Double Wahala house.
