  • Casual sex: Harmless fun or harmful to the soul?

    Casual sex: Harmless fun or harmful to the soul?

    Source: psychologytoday.com

    The COVID-19 pandemic has caused lockdowns across the world, cutting off opportunities for socializing with others. While hard data is not readily available, this lockdown likely led to a massive decrease in promiscuity and casual sex. Now that lockdowns are easing, social venues are beginning to reopen and singles are once again starting to mingle. This will undoubtedly increase opportunities for casual sexual encounters.

    However, the long period of home confinement will have given many people pause for thought about their lifestyles—including their sex lives. For some, this may have led to a rethinking of sexual priorities, while for others this extended period of involuntary celibacy can not end quickly enough.

    Interestingly, the research literature on the mental health consequences of casual sex is inconclusive. For example, one large-scale U.S. study found that young adults partaking in casual sexual encounters had similar levels of psychological well-being to those in committed relationships.

    In contrast, other studies indicate that casual sex is associated with worse mental health. For example, another large U.S. study found that people engaging in casual sex reported decreased well-being, self-esteem, and life satisfaction, as well as increased psychological distress and depression symptoms. Interestingly, this study found no difference between men and women, though other research indicates that men are more likely to report that casual sex is a positive emotional experience than women.

    To shed further light on these issues, I recently completed a research study that involved in-depth interviews with dozens of men who had engaged in regular casual sex to understand the impact on mental health and emotional well-being. These interviews revealed a complex picture.

    To be sure, many men reported hedonistic enjoyment of casual sex. However a large number of men also reported that a promiscuous lifestyle was damaging to their mental health, and many felt better after ceasing such activity, as evidenced in the words of a study participant:

    “The reason I stopped essentially is because I met this girl I really liked, and I was really like ‘oh, why am I doing this?’ There’s no purpose and I’m just like draining a part of my soul. Because, each, each girl you meet and have sex with, it’s like if you’re giving her part of your soul. And, at some point it’s like if you broke your soul into like, a lot of fragments and you’re giving it away and you like feel empty because you’re not, you don’t have this special relationship with anyone.”

    Interestingly, the concept of the “soul” was used by several other study participants, who similarly stated that causal sex “damaged their soul.” Moreover, some noted that promiscuity could feel almost dangerously addictive, interfering with important functional activities such as employment and education. This is witnessed in the words of another study participant:

    “I was totally addicted. It was soul-eating. I discovered I was addicted about 3 or 4 years in, and I realized that my life was taking a drastic turn. I was in school but I wasn’t interested in school anymore. I was heavily into running but I wasn’t interested in a single bit of running. I was just interested in clubs and girls… and I was tired of just focusing on girls and not focusing on my life… I decided to build myself first, that is what I am doing now…”

    Another concept that emerged from the study was “emptiness,” with participants reflecting that regular casual sex led to an existential emptiness. Again, this was an unpleasant subjective experience, prompting some men to change their lifestyle, as stated by another participant below:

    “I just wanted to f**k as many women as I can, but I could feel like its empty… during one week, I was with 4 or 5 different girls but the next day I felt this emptiness, and I would say each of them take a part of your soul, and make you more empty… because of that I stopped doing that… and I knew this was a mentally healthy thing to do.”

    In a free society, it is a fundamental right to enjoy a sexual lifestyle of one’s own choosing (within the limits of the law). As lockdowns continue to abate, more and more people will be looking to rekindle their sex lives: including casual sex, one-night stands, and “friends with benefits.” For some people, this will be harmless fun and an enjoyable recreational activity.

    But some research—including results from my own aforementioned study—indicates that a promiscuous lifestyle can be detrimental to mental health. Casual sex can have a damaging dark side and may come at a psychological cost. This should give pause for thought.

    Be warned.

  • Ridge Hospital Begins Probes Into ‘Alleged Death’ Of Woman At Facility

    Ridge Hospital Begins Probes Into ‘Alleged Death’ Of Woman At Facility

    Management of the Greater Accra Regional Hospital, also known as Ridge Hospital says it is probing the circumstances under which a patient died on the evening of June 25, 2020, while receiving treatment at the facility.

    The patient in question is a 48-year-old woman said to have been wrongly medicated.

    Her husband, Emmanuel Kuto, the Director of the Ghana Institute of Languages, who broke the news on social media described some staff of the Hospital as callous.

    He had taken to Facebook to express what he said was the “impunity” and “total disregard for accountability” displayed by some staff of the hospital.

    But the hospital authorities say they are taking appropriate steps to expeditiously bring finality to the matter.

    “Management will like to assure the public that, with a matter of urgency, an investigation has been instituted into this unfortunate incident in order to establish events leading to the sad situation. The findings of the investigations would be shared with all stakeholders”, the hospital’s Medical Supretenidnt, Dr. Emmanuel K. Srofenyoh noted in a statement.

    While commiserating with the widower and the bereaved family, the hospital says it will continue to prioritize the health and safety of its clients.

    “We will like to assure you that we will continue to provide quality health care to the people of this country and beyond. Mahameneht would like to extend our heartfelt condolences to the husband and family.” Open-door policy

    Lately, the Ridge Hospital has gained notoriety over claims of medical negligence.

    The Hospital is already facing a GHS 5 million lawsuit for possible negligence from a man whose wife and baby died at the hospital.

    However, the management has asked the clients who seek healthcare at the facility not hesitate to report any issue in line with its ‘open-door’ policy.

    The Greater Accra Regional Hospital, Ridge practices an open-door policy and we encourage our clients to report any misgiving or seek clarity on any clinical procedure with the Customer Service or Public Relations Units for proper Management response.

    Mr. Kuto’s experience

    The cause of the death of Mr. Kuto’s wife is yet to be established but he has requested and paid for an autopsy.

    He detailed his experience in a long post on Facebook, noting that: “A lady in the ward told me she collapsed and died. Just like that.”

    Mr. Kuto recalled that amidst all this, there were discussions around him by the health workers pointing towards the administration of wrong medication.

    “That is what I heard the doctors say. I was standing right there when they were talking. That is what I heard them say.”

    But a source of frustration for him has been the lack of transparency. “Nobody bothered to speak to me or explain anything to me so I was just standing there in the dark.”

    He also hasn’t heard from the hospital’s medical director following the death.

    “Since yesterday I have been in a state of paralysis; like in a trance. I can barely think straight. We are very traumatized.”

    The next step for him, he said, was unravelling the cause of death, but “they are yet to give me a date when they will do the autopsy.”

  • President Mahama’s Proposed Comprehensive Health Reforms

    President Mahama’s Proposed Comprehensive Health Reforms

    By Peter N. Jeffrey

    Ghana has always prided herself as one of the best countries when it comes to medical education. Ghanaian doctors and nurses are highly sorted after around the globe and the country has been known to be home to some of the best medical schools in Africa.

    Over the last 15 years, Ghana has built some of the best medical facilities, increased her medical schools, from innovative teaching methodologies to ultra-modern clinical and research faculties (Ho, Tamale, University of Ghana, teaching hospitals and Bolgatanga Regional Hospital among others), medicine is fast becoming Ghana’s top academic faculty.

    With a population of over 30 million and one of the countries in Africa with the youngest population, Ghana’s health care delivery has been found to be inadequate.

    In an address he made to the nation in the early days of the lockdown due to the COVID 19 pandemic, the President of Ghana, Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo Addo pledge to build 88 district hospitals and 6 regional hospitals plus rehabilitation of Effia Nkwanta Regional Hospital in Sekondi/Takoradi, however he admitted that in other to staff these new facilities more medical personnel would have to be trained. Not long after, the former President, John Mahama, also pledge to build a first-class hospital in the newly created regions and a district hospital in all the districts in the country.

    According to the World Bank development indicators data the ratio (2017) of doctors (per 1,000 patients in Ghana) was reported at 0.1359. Emigration of doctors have always been a challenge for the Ghanaian authorities which has crested shortages in the health and has affected health care delivery in the country. The training of physicians is low relative to the country’s needs. From 2014 a raft of reforms was introduced by President Mahama led NDC administration to assist with the retention and enhanced productivity of health workers, however there are still shortages outside of the large cities.

    In terms of the policy differences between New Patriotic Party led by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo Addo and the National Democratic Congress led by Former President John Mahama isn’t much. In the 1970s and 80s Ghana lost majority of her skilled professionals, which was exacerbated by the expulsion of Ghanaians from the neighbouring countries in 1983 and 1985. Majority of Ghanaian professionals who returned to the country left soon afterwards to mainly Europe and North America. This excessive outmigration of Ghana’s professionals left the country in a very precarious state, especially the effects of the outmigration of health professionals affected Ghana’s health care delivery.

    Under the Structural Adjustment Programs, which was initiated under the Bretton Woods Institutions (World Bank and the IMF) in Ghana( a program that was first implemented in Japan, and later applied in a host of countries – the so called “Economic Miracle”) opened up the economy which allowed private investments into the country and selling of state assets and job cuts in civil service, including reforms in the financial, educational and health sectors. User fees were for the first time in the nation’s history were introduced in the health and education sectors.

    The shortages of health professionals, especially nurses and doctors led the PNDC/NDC administration under ex-President Flt Lt Jerry John Rawlings to “respond by expanding the training and allowing private sector involvement in the training of health workers especially nurses and midwives”, Asamani et al, March 2020. The expansion of nurses and midwifery training colleges and the improvement of health sector salaries attracted more people into the profession and other allied health colleges. This expansion in both government and private nursing colleges has led to the Ghanaian government’s inability to absorbed the excess graduates into the limited health facilities in the country.

    Throughout the history of Ghana’s health care delivery, nurses and midwives have played key roles and their contribution to health development in the country have been immense.

    Within the opposition NDC have emerged two schools of thought on how to health care delivery must be delivered, both at the district and regional levels. The first group, which includes NDC Ranking member for Health, Hon. Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, argued that by building more district hospitals, including accommodations, transport and scholarships for their children to attend boarding schools and improved allowances, would encourage them to work in the rural areas. However, the second group, which includes most of the NDC leadership have explain that in addition to proposals of the first school of thought, the incoming NDC administration under President John Mahama would ensure all the 16 regions of the country have a first-class Regional Hospital.

    With the shortage of physicians in the country Ex-President John Mahama (the current Presidential candidate of NDC) has proposed a series of measures to enhanced the delivery of health care in the country. Under President Mahama’s health reforms, medical school education would be expanded and encourage bright students from the rural and less privilege back grounds to attend medical school, as well as increased the number of teaching hospitals in the country. With the University of Technology and Applied Sciences to start medical school as soon as the university is inaugurated, it is envisaged that Bolgatanga Regional Hospital, which has all the facilities in place to train medical doctors and other allied health professionals, would be converted into a teaching hospital.

    According to those close to President Mahama, his health policy would be the most comprehensive health reforms ever implemented in the history of the country. President Mahama has been credited with building most of the current health infrastructure in the country which have helped Ghana to deal effectively with the COVID 19 cases. Under the Mahama health plan, the following hospitals would be converted into teaching hospitals:

    Greater Accra Regional Hospital (Ridge Hospital) Accra

    Effia Nkwanta Regional Hospital would be rehabilitated and converted into a teaching hospital

    Police Hospital in Accra would be converted into a teaching hospital

    37 Military Hospital and Kumasi Military Hospital would be converted into teaching hospitals

    Bono Regional Hospital in Sunyani would be converted into a teaching hospital.

    Eastern Regional Hospital in Koforidua would be converted into a teaching hospital.

    Upper East Regional Hospital, Wa, to be converted into a teaching hospital.

    Tema Regional Hospital, Tema, to be converted into a teaching hospital.

    As part of President Mahama’s health reforms all nursing and midwifery training colleges are to be University Colleges and will offer 4-year Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing and Midwifery. The shake of the health reforms would include a proposal where anyone with a health professional qualification, including nurses and midwives, can sit an entrance examination to go to medical school. Experience Nurses and Midwives would be trained to become nurse consultants and offer general practitioner services in rural and district hospitals alongside physicians as is the case in most developed countries.

    The growth of private for profit accredited health providers would be given added incentive to employ full time nurses and midwives, instead of relying on dual public sector health employees, a measure which would be strictly enforced to stimulate health sector job creation, Asamani et al.

    President Mahama’s health care expansion would reform the National Health Insurance Scheme. According to those close the NDC Ranking Member of Health, Hon. Kwabena Akandoh, the government would bring in innovative policies to make the scheme the best in Africa. Already, Hon. Akandoh is in the process of setting up a committee to look into the reforms on the NHIS. With the proposal to convert 6 regional hospitals and 2 Security Services hospital into Teaching Hospitals, the transformation of Ghana’s health care systems would bring first class health delivery to the citizens.

    The number of medical schools in Ghana currently are:

    School of Medicine and Dentistry, University of Ghana, Legon, Accra, and the largest in the country

    School of Medical Sciences, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kumasi

    School of Medicine, University of Development Studies, Tamale

    The Medical School, University of Cape Coast

    University of Allied Health Sciences

    Family Health Medical School

    Accra College of Medicine

    C4C Homeopathic Medical College

    Under the Mahama’s health policy proposals, Ghana will have 3 additional medical schools, however, The Police Hospital Medical School, 37 Military Hospital Medical School, and Kumasi Military Medical School would only train service personnel who would work alongside their civilian counterparts.

    Ghana’s rapid development over the past decade has turned the country into a thriving hub for most companies setting up their regional headquarters in the country. President Mahama knows that a healthy and educated workforce would not only increase the productivity of the country but would encourage more inward investments into the country.

    According to those close to the NDC Ranking Member for Health, Hon. Akandoh, the committee set up by President Mahama during the COVID 19 pandemic would be transited when NDC takes over the government from NPP and advises the Mahama government in its health delivery policies.

  • The Humble Are The Greatest

    The Humble Are The Greatest

    IT IS common these days to hear one man of God referring to another as being great. How can a servant genuinely determine the greatness of another? In fact, a great man of God is not who people say he is but who Christ Jesus says he is. This means a servant is unfit to describe his brother as great or small. Only Christ qualifies to give such a description. And those who are great are humble like little children (Matthew 18:1-4).

    The lifestyle of a number of pastors or priests today has been greatly influenced by dogmas than the Bible. Many are interested in traditions of men which make them appear great, important and recognized in the sight of men. If God had wanted His servants to be ordained and called “Reverend”, it would have been mentioned in Scripture. And the biblical priests, prophets and apostles would have used it.

    Truth is God never commanded any of His servants to be ordained or called “Reverend”. One minister erroneously used it in Europe in the 17th Century or so and it spread around the world among some denominations and ministers of the gospel. One may describe its spread as blind imitation.

    Today, another title, “God’s General”, has emerged and some pastors are using it. It will not be long some pastors will be ordained like “General Richardson Smith” or “General Okofo Louis Larry”. Well, who is God’s General? Who determines ministers who qualify as God’s Generals? Is God’s General being used by the will of God?

    We know that Christians are soldiers of Christ. And so if there are God’s Generals, then, of course, there must be God’s Corporals, God’s Captains, God’s Majors, God’s Lieutenants and God’s Brigadier Generals and other such ranks in the church. But these have place in the Kingdom of God. It is better to be content with the ministry offices and titles – apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers – God has given to the church in Scripture (Ephesians 4:11).

    Moreover, Jesus Christ never asked His servants to wear priestly garments as a way of making them recognizable and known, so the 1st Century ministers never wore them. But most modern ministers wear some sort of priestly garments; who asked them to wear them? One sin by which many church leaders may fall on the judgement day is pride; it is subtle.

    On that day, a bishop’s expectation of having done mighty works to receive eternal salvation and great rewards will disappoint him. On that day, it will be realized the futility of man’s supposed great works without taking a careful precaution to do the will of God. In fact, what man considers great works may be deemed as works of lawlessness in the sight of Christ Jesus (Matthew 7:21-23).

    Undoubtedly, chains, rings, staffs, big chairs and liturgical vestments do not make any Christian minister greater or righteous in the sight of God. Again, if they do, the 1st Century apostles would have used them and also written about them. Paul, in particular, would have written and given instruction about them in his epistles to the church just as Moses wrote and gave instructions about priestly garments for Aaron, his sons and all other high priests after him under the Old Covenant (Exodus 28).

    God is looking for humble people who will minister as servant-leaders in His vineyard. Paul was a humble 1st Century minister. He called himself as an apostle, the least of the apostles unworthy to be called an apostle. A minister who Christ calls greatest is the one who is humble. Humility is not weakness but strength.

    Christ Jesus was humble and meek and urges His followers, especially ministers, to learn from His humility. Humility is not necessarily being silent or appearing shabby. It is not being timid or fearful. It is not refusing to rebuke sin, correct errors or discipline disobedience. Jesus Christ and Moses stand out as unique humble persons who walked the earth yet they both punished sin in their ministries.

    However, humility is not thinking you are better than others. It is emptying yourself – casting down your crowns, degrees, status, money, beauty, position and titles to serve. Humility is taking a low position for Christ to take a high position in His church. Humility is making Christ Jesus increase while you decrease. It is submission to God.

    Humility is sacrificing your will for the will of God. Humility is seeking the interest of Christ over the interests of men. Humility is the willingness to accept corrections in love regardless of your achievements. Humility is admitting errors or mistakes committed and being appreciative of open rebukes. Humility is dying to self and living for Christ Jesus.

    Jesus Christ described John the Baptist, a prophet who wore no special clothing and used honourific titles, as being greater among those born of women. Yet the Lord explained that the one who is least in the Kingdom of heaven is greater than John (Matthew 11:11). This is because the least in the Kingdom of heaven is humbler than John. Indeed, the humble servant of Christ is great in the sight of God.

  • NDC Vs EC: The Comedy Of Amicus Curiae And Comfortable Lead

    NDC Vs EC: The Comedy Of Amicus Curiae And Comfortable Lead

    ..The Imani’s Amicus Curiae Joke

    By James Mckeown

    Many will agree with me the term amicus curiae brief became popular in Ghana in the 2012 election petition when the Supreme Court unanimously dismissed an application for amicus curiae, filed by Lawyer Benoni Tony Amekudzi, which sought to argue that it was unlawful for the NPP to join John Mahama to the lawsuit because he was a sitting president.

    The court rejected the application by indicating that John Mahama had been sued as a candidate who had benefited from a supposedly fraudulent election. It is important to note that Lawyer Amekudzi was in court to draw the court’s attention to a constitutional provision which he thought the court had not averted its mind to.

    What is amicus curiae? Literally,amicus curiae is a “friend of the court” andamicus curiae brief is a document filed by an individual or organization to present arguments in addition to those presented by the immediate parties to a case. Normally, a person or group who is not a party to a lawsuit, but has a strong interest in the matter, will petition the court for permission to submit a brief in the action with the intent of providing expert opinion, or providing relevant information missing in the statements of claim or defence of the litigants or averting the mind of the court to a relevant legislation the court or the parties may have overlooked.

    With this basic knowledge let’s interrogate the brief filed by Imani and the other Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) vis-à-vis the grounds for rejection of the application.

    It is instructive to note that the court rejected the application simply because the amicus brief was not supported by law.

    1. Imani failed to draw the court’s attention to any law or decision that appears to have been overlooked by the parties in the case. When Chief Justice Anin Yeboah asked lawyer Joe Aboagye Debrah whether he had read the two cases pending at the Apex court, he responded that he had not read. Is it not surprising to any sane mind how Imani was able to reach a conclusion that they can add something new to the court if they had not read the writ? All hail franklin Cudjoe and his friends, the new magicians in town. This was a joke!!!
    2. Imani failed to demonstrate any expertise in law or regarding the matter pending to merit audience in the case. This is a matter that borders on legal interpretation and the Supreme Court has the primary and final jurisdiction. So, how on earth do you submit an amicus brief without reference to any relevant legislation or facts missing in the writs submitted by the litigants? As a CSO which has opinion on every issue but expertise on none, what sort of expert opinion were they seeking to express at the Supreme Court?
    3. Imani lacked the neutral identity expected of an amicus curiae in order to submit a brief. It is a fact that for a person to submit a curiae brief, you must be an interested party. It is your interest in the case that would move you to submit the application in the first place. However, it is unacceptable to appear as a friend of a party in the litigation disguising yourself as friend of the court. An amicus curiae is more or less an intervener, an impartial adviser to a court of law in a particular case. What was the meaning of that trick? Was it a case of an overhyped goat thinking it can outrun and escape from a lion?

    We must recognize that the court is not deaf to happenings in its environment. The court takes cognizance of comments of people outside the court. This explains why some individuals including Sammi Awuku, Ken Kuranchie, Sir John and Atubiga were found to be contempt of the Supreme Court because of their comments outside the court.

    The court was aware of the position and utterances of the CSOs so for them to cloak themselves as friends of the court was extremely disingenuous. For all intents and purposes, Imani and the other CSOs had not gone to the court to assist it with any new information useful in determining the matter but rather to support a side.

    I find it quite disturbing to read arguments from Prof ‘‘Azar’’ and Prof. H.K Nketia which sought to suggest that the issue of neutrality of an amicus curiae is alien. I am convinced Justice Baffoe Bonie was right in directing the CSOs to rather join the case or submit the so-called arsenals or relevant information they have to the party they support.

    I have always advised that we should be mindful of some of these vulture CSOs and the way the media gives them so much opportunity to sometimes express their pedestrian views as if they are experts and are embodiment of knowledge in all fields from archaeology to medicine.

    Franklin Cudjoe and Bright Simons made so much noise in the media that the Electoral Commission had no right and justification for compiling a new voters’ register yet they were afraid to take the matter to court. They knew it was going to be a Sisyphusian task to convince the Supreme Court with their hollow arguments so they sought to engage in populist gimmicks. We entertain too much empty noise in Ghana.

    I wish the Supreme Court had sanctioned Imani and the other CSOs to deter others from treating the apex court as some kind of an amphitheatre for comedy. I thought the Amekudzi amicus curiae joke in 2013 was enough. With all said, I feel very sad for lawyer Joe Aboagye Debrah. He is a fine, brilliant Lawyer. He didn’t deserve this. Unfortunately, a client with a bad case has a way of subjecting an experienced lawyer to public ridicule. I hope somebody has learnt a lesson.

    Asiedu Nketia’s Comfortable lead

    Were you surprised about the speed with which Asiedu Nketia spoke with the Media? The truth is, Asiedu Nketia is not happy with Mr Koku Anyidoho for his utterances in the media in recent times. Yes, seriously. Hm…Asiedu Nketia has become so petty and jealous of Koku Anyidoho to the extent that he was willing to go every extent to take the comfortable lead tittle from Koku. Hurray…let’s welcome General Mosquito, the new King of comfortable lead. You can laugh again!! But on a more serious note, I disagree with those who have subjected the NDC General Secretary to ridicule thinking he misunderstood the verdict. What Asiedu Nketia did was a calculated grand scheme to create unnecessary chaos. The NDC is not comfortable with the compilation of a new voters’ register and have decided to go every length to disrupt or stall the process no matter how ludicrous and farcical it will appear in the sight of right thinking Ghanaians. Didn’t you see the tenacity and confidence with which he spoke about their comfortable lead? Even legal aficionados who had read the statement of claim and the reliefs of the NDC and were sure the NDC didn’t have any strong argument intelligent enough to convince the Supreme Court were thrown off balance by the sheer bravado of Asiedu Nketia.

    Did you see how Abraham Amaliba and Edudzi Tamakloe both NDC lawyers who are supposed to know better were standing behind the general secretary nodding their heads like agama lizards in support of such ignorance, lies, misinformation and misreporting instead of correcting him? They knew what they were doing. I agree with those who say the journalists should have spoken to the lawyers instead of Asiedu Nketia. However, I do not think they would have said anything different from what General Mosquito said. They had rehearsed the same statement.

    The Facebook President

    As for the Facebook President, Mr John Mahama, the least said about him the better. He now behaves like a lousy boxer who has been dealt a hefty blow. Ntase ntase akye no. He struggled to make any sense in his press briefing after the Supreme Court verdict. His attempts to incite people against the Electoral Commission and the hardworking government of Nana Akufo-Addo will not wash.

    Indubitably, John Mahama and his NDC are setting the agenda to discredit the impending general election with the view to legitimizing their future post-election misbehaviour. Ghanaians should not treat such a devilish agenda against the peace of the country as some form of joke and laugh it off. We will resist any attempt by any dead goat to resurrect to disturb the peace of the country.

    The Supreme Court has spoken and the verdict is unambiguous. The EC is ready to ensure all qualified Ghanaians are registered. Remember you have the right to vote but you have responsibility to register before you can enjoy such right. Let us be citizens, follow the necessary COVID-19 protocols and join the queue to register to vote. Elections belong you. It’s your decision. But if you decide to turn your back on the fire and burn your behinds, then you will just have to sit on your blisters.

    Long live Ghana
