Sad story: Unemployed professional Nurse now working as Kayayei in Accra as she awaits MoH posting Her hopes of taking care of patients dashed the moment she left the walls of the nursing training school in 2016 after several years of training. Homebound for two years without a job, she decided to engage in head-ferrying for survival. Fadila Ndebugre, a young nurse who was trained at the Dunkwa-On-Offin Nursing Training College in the Central Region, has had to resort to head-ferrying of loads (kayayo) for shoppers at the Madina market, for survival, as she awaits her posting by the Ministry of Health, so she can practise as a nurse – two years after leaving school. Watching Fadila Ndebugre, a trained nurse, struggling with other head potters in Accra to make a living is the moment that causes one to wonder why millions even bother to queue for enrollment into tertiary institutions in Ghana. The young nurse who has resorted to carrying wares for patrons who are unable to co

Chelsea star Eden Hazard admits he prefers Maurizio Sarri’s football to Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte’s The Belgian superstar believes his new manager allows him to play his natural game, whereas his defensive-minded predecessors did not Chelsea star Eden Hazard believes Maurizio Sarri helps him to enjoy his football, unlike previous bosses Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte. The 27-year-old has two goals and two assists in his opening four games under the new Blues manager and appears to be thriving with his possession-based style of play. After last season’s 1-0 defeat away at Manchester City, Hazard claimed he could’ve played for three hours and not touched the ball, as Conte forced him to chase aerial balls. Mourinho often criticised Hazard for ignoring his defensive responsibilities, but Sarri allows the Belgian to express himself in attacking areas with the ball at his feet. Hazard told  Chelsea  TV: “I like to have the ball. Not in my own half, but in the last 30

How many years did the Roman Civilization last?

How many years did the Roman Civilization last?   The Roman Empire existed from 27 BC to AD 1453 for a total of 1480 years. What? 1453! Yes, only Rome the city fell in AD 476. Western European historians (and people) are too focused on the impact of the Fall of Rome (the city), because that was a time of tumultuous change for them. The capital of the whole Roman Empire had already moved to Constantinople in AD 330 by Emperor Constantine. That was because the east had always been was the economic centre of the Empire. Ephesus (now in Turkey), Rome’s second largest city, was the terminus of the various Silk Trade Routes. The people of that day still called it the Roman Empire. It was still large but they gave up on Northern Europe. A revisionist German historian in the 16th century came up with the name Byzantine Empire. There was no such thing. The reasons why it lasted so long will be explored in walk 3 of my series on Rome Walks, starting with Amaz

Re: ‘Scorpion’ – At This Point, Drake Is Only Competing With One Person… Count this writer among the people who’ve often looked for a reason to doubt  Drake  and his accomplishments. On the Friday release of his latest album,  Scorpion , billed as (only) his fifth proper album (some of the others were considered mixtapes, playlists, curations, etc.), the urge to be a doubter – not a hater, a doubter…there’s a difference – returned once more. For me, it hasn’t been the urge to “put a knife in his ribs,” as the OVO rapper might put it, just a desire to put those ribs in check, by pointing out all the asterisks that should go with his many accomplishments on the charts and with his music in general. But just as Drake has done with his many haters and his beefs with other rappers over the years,  Scorpion  shows, once more, that the Canadian rapper will always wind up on top, and that maybe I should change my approach to covering Drake.   Whether he’s squashing a beef with

News. The 30,000-square-foot property was privately listed for $135 million, but it appears Bey and Jay's  reported $120 million bid  was enough to secure the incredibly lavish home for their growing family.  E! News obtained exclusive images of the property, which was in its final stages of a four-year construction project at the time they were taken. As expected, this isn't any 'ol celebrity pad. The Carter-Knowles' brood can look forward to kicking back in one of four pools, eight bedrooms, 11 bathrooms as well as an expansive kitchen and living area with custom-made fixtures from It

Nicki Minaj  and  Future  have cancelled the entire North American leg of their joint tour.
