High Court orders Achimota School to admit Rasta student, Tyrone Marhguy

The Human Rights Court 1 Division of the High Court in Accra, has ordered Achimota School to admit Tyrone Marhguy, the dreadlock-wearing Rastafarian boy into the school.

The Court in the same spirit directed Achimota School to also admit Oheneba Nkrabea, another Rastafarian student into the school.

The saga has been ongoing since March 19, 2021, during which the two students have not been able to start academic work with their colleagues.

This is the current state of Old Adansiman park being developed by Doctor Boakye, the sitting member of Parliament for Obuasi East

 This is the current state of Old Adansiman park being developed by Doctor Boakye, the sitting member of Parliament for Obuasi East, at New Akaporiso, off Stamford Bridge Junction. The second of such facility after Boete. 'Pɔmpɔɔla' park is his next target and other communities.

The facility is about 90% complete. A bore-hole for constant water supply, reserve stands, fencing, Net, water hoses and sprinklers are all available. The metallic poles are currently being worked on and will soon be erected for official commissioning of the park.

I mowed/cut the grass just a fortnight ago while the Mp himself and other few committed people did the watering, cutlass weeding, removal of stones and unwanted weeds. I touched base last night from Kumasi and this morning I decided to come around to inspect it. That has been the kind of help we have decided to, besides our work, offer in realising his dream of unearthing the pool of football talents we have in Obuasi.

You don't love or play football more than anyone.

These facilities are for the youth, the community and the entire district (not for him) and shall surely be handed over when the right things are put in place. Our poor attitude of maintenance and management of public property has culminated for what you think is delaying the handing over. The right football people who are committed should be seen managing such facilities.

Since the commissioning (Easter Monday), the new Boete Park has witnessed more football matches than Lenclay stadium this year and if care isn't taken, the facility won't last before some people start crucifying the man.

Let's all support people with good intention to help Adansiman.

Brief History Of Ghana formerly Gold Coast

According to oral traditions, the ancestors of the Akan people, today the largest ethnic group, entered the country from the north and spread southwards between CE 1200 and 1600. The Fanti State of Denkyira was at that period already established on the coast. By 1400 the Akan had established their Bono and Buida kingdoms in the forested central region.
Their highly developed culture was centred on the city-state, surrounded by vassal villages, and rule by a court where the queen mother was often a more powerful figure than the king who, being sacred, was hidden from the people and consequently often politically isolated. The Akan traded gold and kola nuts for salt and cloth, in the west and north, and were also involved in the slave trade.
In the 15th century, the Ashanti people waged war against the Denkyira Kingdom and by 1700 had gained control of the slave trade. They developed a powerful army and a centralised state, ruled by the Asantehene (king of the Ashanti nation).
Portuguese traders, arriving after 1450 in search of gold and ivory, named the country Gold Coast; appropriately since, by the end of the 16th century, it produced ten per cent of the world’s gold.
From the middle of the 16th century other Europeans began arriving; in the mid-18th century there were Dutch, Danish and British settlements.
The British became involved in internal conflicts when they backed the Fanti against the Ashanti who were extending their power into the coastal areas. There were four wars in the 19th century.
The Bond of 1844, entered into by Britain and the Fanti chiefs, endorsed British control of small pockets of settlement; six years later Britain set up a legislative council to govern these areas. The British took over abandoned Danish settlements in 1850 and the Dutch settlements in 1871. By Orders in Council (1901) Britain declared the southern territory a colony by settlement, the northern territory a protectorate and Ashanti a colony by conquest.
In 1922 a part of the adjoining German territory of Togoland was placed under British administration by a League of Nations Mandate and after World War II it became a UN Trust Territory. The principle of elections was introduced under the 1925 constitution.
During the first half of the 20th century, there was growing national pressure for self-determination, and the UK gradually surrendered control.
The 1946 constitution required the legislative council to have an African majority. Following civic disturbances in 1948, the UK agreed that a committee consisting entirely of Africans should examine the structure of the country’s government.
In 1949, Kwame Nkrumah set up the Convention People’s Party (CPP) to campaign for independence.
Elections took place in 1951, and the following year Nkrumah became the country’s first Premier. The 1954 constitution provided for a legislative assembly of 104 directly elected members, and an all-African Cabinet; the UK kept responsibility for foreign affairs and defence. The CPP campaigned for full independence. The general election of 1956 returned the CPP with a big majority.
Modern-day Ghana was formed when the British-administered part of Togoland voted to join the Gold Coast in an independent state, in a UN-supervised plebiscite in May 1956. Ghana achieved independence within the Commonwealth on 6 March 1957.
In 1960 Ghana became a republic, with Nkrumah as President, and in 1964 a one-party state, the CPP being the sole authorised party.
However, less than a year later, Nkrumah was removed by military coup, the first of four coups.
The army and police set up a National Liberation Council, which dissolved the legislative assembly and suspended the constitution while a new one was drafted.
Political activity was permitted again in 1969; a general election followed in August. It returned the Progress Party; its leader Dr Kofi Busia became Prime Minister, with the National Alliance of Liberals as the opposition.
Two weeks before the elections were to be held in June 1979, a military coup led by junior officers ousted the government. Flt-Lt Jerry J Rawlings and the Armed Forces Revolutionary Council declared that they had assumed power, in order that an honest election could take place. Elections were held as scheduled; they returned the People’s National Party, whose leader Dr Hilla Limann took office as President in September 1979.
Another coup, in 1981, put Rawlings back in power. He suspended the constitution and banned political parties. From December 1981 until November 1992 Ghana was ruled by a Provisional National Defence Council (PNDC). In May 1991 the PNDC government set up a 260-member consultative assembly to oversee the restoration of multiparty democracy.
A committee of constitutional experts was appointed to draft a new constitution for submission to this assembly. In April 1992 the draft constitution was overwhelmingly approved in a referendum; political associations were unbanned; and six opposition movements were granted legal recognition.
The National Democratic Congress (NDC) was formed to contest the elections on behalf of the PNDC. The November 1992 presidential election (witnessed by Commonwealth observers, and considered ‘overall free and fair’) returned Jerry Rawlings (with 58.3 per cent of the vote).
The parliamentary elections of December 1992 returned the NDC with 189 of 200 seats in the new Parliament. The NDC united with the National Convention Party (NCP) and the Every Ghanaian Living Everywhere Party to form the Progressive Alliance.
In January 1993 Rawlings was sworn in as President, and the Fourth Republic was inaugurated. In May 1995, the NCP left the coalition. In the December 1996 elections, President Rawlings was re-elected with 58 per cent of the votes. Turnout was 75 per cent. His party, the NDC, won 133 seats.
The opposition alliance of the New Patriotic Party and the People’s Convention Party won 66 seats, just reaching the level at which they could successfully oppose constitutional changes (which need a two-thirds majority).
The elections were seen as a step towards full multiparty democracy; the opposition had boycotted the 1992 parliamentary elections, but accepted defeat the second time round.
Ghana thus acquired a significant legislative opposition for the first time in 15 years. After Rawlings was chosen as ‘life chairman’ of the party in December 1998, the NDC suffered a serious split in its ranks with the formation by some of its founding members of the National Reform Party, which was registered in July 1999. In 1972, another military coup led by Colonel Ignatius Acheampong overthrew Busia’s government and set up a National Redemption Council. In 1978 Acheampong was replaced by General Frederick Akuffo, who promised civilian rule by the middle of the following year.

W/R: Operation Halt II destroys about 20 excavators, several other equipment

 

Operation Halt II takes anti galamsey fight to Western Region; destroys about 20 excavators

Operation Halt II has begun its Western Region operation with a bang

- It destroyed several excavators and other illegal mining equipment along Ankobra, Bonusu, and Bonsa Rivers

- It comes a day after President Akufo-Addo declared his full support for the operation

Operation Halt II has destroyed several excavators along the Ankobra, Bonusu, and Bonsa Rivers in the Western Region.

Made of three units of the Ghana Armed Forces—the 2nd and 5th Infantry Battalions and the 64th Infantry Regiment, Operation Halt II began its Western Region operation on Thursday, May 27, 2021.

The team is being supported by personnel drawn from the Ghana navy, air force, Southern Command, 48th Engineers’ Regiment, and the Support Service.

The operation is expected to end on Saturday 29 May.

According to a report sighted on Asaaseradio.com, the team destroyed two washing machines and floating platforms on the Bonusu River, and 18 excavators along the Rivers Ankobra and Bonsa.

“Ten changfans and two water pumping machines sited along the Bonsa River were also destroyed,” the outlet reported citing a source close to the operation.

“The Operation Halt II team, led by Lieutenant Colonel Prince Tandoh, located and destroyed one excavator, 100 changfan machines, 20 water pumping machines, four motorbikes, and other illegal mining equipment on a site close to the Ankobra River,” the source added.

Operation Halt II’s latest invasion of illegal mining sites in the Western Region comes a day after President Akufo-Addo endorsed the burning of excavators and other equipment confiscated at these mining sites.

“The presence of ‘changfans’ in water bodies is illegal, as is the unlawful use of excavators in protected forest zones,” President Akufo-Addo said on Wednesday, May 26, 2021, during the sod-cutting ceremony for the construction of the first phase of the “Law Village”.

“The devastation caused by this equipment is nothing short of evil and we should not compromise in our efforts to protect our environment, forest reserves, and water bodies.”

In other news, uneasy tension is brewing at Amanase, a community near Suhum along the Accra-Kumasi highway.

News reaching  adansiweb.xyz indicates that some irate youth of the community have blocked the highway in protest of reckless driving after a speeding vehicle crushed an elderly man to death.

They burnt tyres during the spontaneous protest, causing massive vehicular traffic.

According to a report sighted on Starrfm.com.gh, the speeding vehicle crushed the man to death whilst he was crossing the road at about 7:30 pm.

The “man’s mortal remain was shredded and littered on the road,” the report noted.

The irate youth created unbearable gridlock on the highway for close to an hour until the arrival of armed police to the scene.

They reportedly had to resort to the firing of warning shots to disperse the raging youth and clear the road to traffic.

HAS OBUASI BOETE PARK BEEN SEIZED OR MANHANDLED

 

Obuasi which is situated In the Ashanti region has been one of the breed of footballers for decades now.

The likes of John Mensah, Jonathan Mensah, Inkoom are some of the product of Obuasi.

Football in Obuasi is equivalent to fishing at the coastal areas.

For the past decades, a suburb of Obuasi which is Boete has seen massive contribution to the football family in Ghanaian 1st Division and premiere league.

Tijani Joshua(Aduana), Adono Godfred (Bechem), Kanyiri Samad (Wa suntaa), Nurideen Abdulai (Former Wa Allstars), Kuzuma Ebenezer (Former Dreams FC) ,Kuzuma Emmanuel (Former inter allies) many to mention but few...

Most of the youth depend on the colts and Division 3 sides.

But for the past 3 years what Boete used to produce which was football has decreased to 10% and 90% of drug addiction.

This as a result of good gone wrong. The MP for Obuasi East Hon. Dr. Boakye Yiadom did a great but bad call. He reconstructed Boete park but took years to complete leaving the youth to wander in bad and maintained attitude.

But nothing good came out of it.

From sources, Hon. Dr Boakye Yiadom keeps the field keys and opens it anytime he feels like.

Currently there's no team in Boete out of the two (Newcastle and Monaco) playing the colts league on the same field due to lack of training grounds when the one at their disposal is been worshipped.

The youth can't train

There are no colts teams again due to this act.

Was he helping secure better football or he was helping to destroy talent.

The youth of Obuasi Boete are fedup and needs the field for what the love doing.
