Exposing The Leak Around The World

The phrase, “to create, loot and share”, which was coined by Justice Jones Dotse in reference to the Waterville scandal, is being replicated in some parts of the country, where illegal Chinese miners were operating. Investigations by The Independent have uncovered that vehicles and machines which were seized by the government task force on illegal mining are shamelessly being used by the foot soldiers of the party. Some foot soldiers of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Amenfi Central District/constituency are reaping where they did not sow. Some of the seized items include excavators, caterpillars, tipper trucks and tractors. Some of the vehicles include; Toyota Hilux with registration number, GN 2084-12, Nissan Pick-up with registration number, GR 8130-12. The rest are Nissan pick-up number GN 7783-11 and Toyo Hilux number GC 2674-09. Some of the party foot soldiers who have allegedly benefited from the booty are the Propaganda Secretary, Ebow Forson. Tinkorang and Armooh all members of the party have also benefitted. These men allegedly used the seized vehicles like their own property. Their callous behaviour has however infuriated some members of the party who believe they have been handed a raw deal. According to some of them, they served as informants and also took part in the seizure and burning of the properties belonging to the deported Chinese illegal minors and that it was total unfair for a few greedy members to enjoy the booty. Further investigations have revealed that the vehicles will be used by party foot soldiers for the party’s impending constituency and Zonal elections in the area. Meanwhile, the Amenfi Central District Assembly is also renting out the seized excavators and caterpillars to some illegal miners and contractors are making huge profits as a result. Further investigations by this newspaper indicate that some of the party foot soldiers have taken advantage of the departure of the national task force and are mining in the national forest reserve at Dwabo Sraha and Wassa Kumasi in the Amenfi District of the Western Region. The DCE for the area, Mr. Peter Kwakye Ackah could deny or confirm the allegations when The Independent contacted him on the matter. He instead, dared this reporter to come to ground and verify things for himself. According to him, the attempt to link him and his good office to the alleged looting is a grand design to have him replaced by the president as many interest groups jostle for that position.

A 43 Year old man from Onna Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State in Nigeria, Mr. Felix Lawson has allegedly beheaded his sixteen years old step-son, Master Effiong Lawson (fondly called Ifeanyi).
Investigation revealed that Mr. Lawson who is a junior staff worker in the riverine Ibeno Local Government Council returned home over the weekend and was enjoying his evening meal when his step-son sneaked into the backyard and whispered to his younger sister to bring him food remnant as he was said to very be hungry, having not eaten in three days Unknown to him, his father was at home and heard his whispering and recognized his voice.

Mr. Lawson went for his machetes and flung himself out to the backyard; Ifeanyi and his brother who was his escort took to their heels but he was not all that lucky as his father ran fast that when he got closer to him, he slammed the machetes on his head, the young lad fell down, and he cut off his head instantly with the machetes

The last thing that you probably want to do is waste your time in a relationship with a guy who isn’t really all that serious about you. To spend time with someone only to realize that you were way more serious about the relationship than they were can be a humbling and even humiliating experience. You probably are not looking for that to happen, so you may be interested in figuring out whether or not the guy you are with is really serious about you or if you are just wasting your time.
Here are 3 clues that he is NOT really serious about being with you:

1) He makes just about everything else in his life a priority over you.
Does he seem to break plans with you whenever anything else comes up? Is he the kind of guy who will blow off date night with you just to go hang out with the guys at the bar and shoot some pool? If he is willing to ditch you for something else most of the time, I’d hate to say it, but he is probably not that serious about you. When a guy is serious about a woman he is dating, he’ll make sure that he spends time with her.

2) He doesn’t want to talk about the future with you.
Have you tried to get him talking about future plans with you and every time that you do, he seems to find a way to talk about something else or he just flat out makes it clear that he doesn’t like to talk about that stuff? While it is true that some guys just have a really hard time talking about future plans, usually they will at least try and give it some effort if they are really serious about the relationship working out. If he is unwilling to even give it a shot, then chances are it is because he is not that serious about the relationship.

3) He talks about other women in front of you.
I don’t mean talking about celebrities that he is never going to meet. I mean, does he talk about women that pass by when you are out with him and make comments that show he is still kind of looking around? That would probably be a good indication that he is the kind of guy who will up and leave if he feels like he can “upgrade” and that is probably not the kind of guy you want to be with.

 
 A SIXTY-YEAR-OLD man was last Wednesday arrested by the police in Kumasi after he was caught fingering a 17-year-old girl in a car at Kwadaso, a suburb of Kumasi.

Opanyin Kofi Appiah was caught in the act on Wednesday morning by some residents, who had suspected him for the past three months of engaging in sexual activity with young girls in the area.

According to information, the suspect was frequently found parking his vehicle on the road side, close to the Kwadaso Beposo Cluster of Schools, and would call young school girls under the pretext of sending them on an errand.



His persistent attitude did not, however, go down well with a security man at the school, who decided to put him under surveillance.

Luck, however, ran out on the suspect last week, when he called one of the school girls, Sarah Nimo and asked her to buy him a slice of water melon.

The security man, Nana Nimo, told a radio correspondent with KESSBEN FM, Awuku Addo that after the girl had brought the water melon, Opanyin Kofi Appiah, asked her to sit in the car which the girl innocently obliged.

Some few minutes later, Nana Nimo, who was carefully watching proceedings approached the vehicle and forcibly opened the door and saw the suspect busily fingering the girl whilst she also massaged his penis.

Opanyin Appiah, who was in pajamas with no pants on, had folded the cloth up to the stomach and busily taking advantage of the poor girl, said to be an imbecile.

An alarm raised by Nana Nimo drew the attention of neighbors and passersby to the scene and the suspect was subsequently arrested and handed over to the Sofoline Police.

Some residents around the area confirmed that they had seen the suspect on countless occasions in a parked vehicle at the vicinity. E N D.

1. Being too domineering.
Without a doubt, a woman likes to be with a man who has ability to make her feel safe. But that does not mean every decision is made by the man. Relationships are a series of decisions that don’t happen in a vacuum. Everyone wins when decisions are made based on mutual needs and compromises. Relationships are democracies, not dictatorships.


2. Indecisive.
Women hate it when a man waffles. Make decisions whether they are right or wrong. Be confident and show leadership.

3. Lack of romance.
Romanticism is certainly what all women want when it comes to relationship. Romance can mean different things to different women but women all love the words “l love you”. Start or end you day with those words.

4. Having a foul mouth.
Women are turned off by men who overly use swear words. Not only is it rude, but also shows a limited vocabulary. It can be extremely embarrassing when your man doesn’t know he’s actually swearing and does it in front of your parents or friends. Swearing is a habit and like any habit, can be broken.

5. Lack of non sexual intimacy.
How often do you just hold hands, massage your partner, cuddle, or kiss without expecting sex. Try it. She’ll love you for it. See #6 below.

6. Being too predictable.
A lack of spontaneity can make a relationship boring. TV at 8:00, bed at 10:00 blah blah. Get out of your routine and break out of your paradigm. Create a spark and go out to dinner or a movie on a weekday. Surprise your women with flowers for no reason. Make her dinner on a Wednesday. Surprise her and stop being predictable. Throw her a curveball, she’ll love it.

7. Unable to prioritize their partner’s needs.
Among many relationship problems, it seems that inability for some men to put their partner first is a major one. Consider your partner’s needs and wants above everything else. Find a quite time to talk and ask questions about your partner’s day. Make her feel special. Look her in the eyes when you talk to her. Ask questions and listen deeply. Making her feel important is about paying attention and prioritizing her in your life.

8. Being too confident.
Being too confident tends to make men look cocky and arrogant. Being humble is an attractive attribute. You aren’t perfect so don’t act like it. It’s okay to make mistakes, you are human. Get the opinion of others, it’s the best way to learn.

9. Jealousy.
No one likes a jealous partner, especially women. Jealousy is usually a sign that one partner doesn’t trust the other. When communicating, take what she says at face value and remember that women and men communicate at different levels. Try not to read anything into what she says or does. Listen only to the words she uses and base your perceptions on what is said.

10. Not being romantically exclusive.
Most relationship problems tend to manifest from different expectations about the relationship. Men tend to fantasize about having multiple partners. When committing to a woman who expects an exclusive relationship, be true and stay in the moment. If you can’t be, don’t get into a relationship where one partner wants exclusivity.

When it comes to dating, men aren’t exactly the smartest most of the time. Sure, there are a lot of men out there that can get women and dates, but they are perpetually single and always looking for another option, because they just can’t seem to make things work. If you find yourself in the same boat, or in a lonely place, and you want to change things up, you’ll want to avoid making the 3 mistakes that guys make with women all the time. There are 3 major problems that you’ll find is common when dealing with women and avoiding them is not that difficult, it’s just a matter of knowing what to do, and what to say.
The first major thing that you need to avoid is trying to talk about sex or insinuating anything in relationship to that. Do not talk about this and do not try to be too aggressive, this will turn her off. You absolutely need to avoid this at all costs. You will find that if you make unwarranted passes and try to communicate about this before it’s time, you will not get her to stick around too long. Let her make the first move in this department if it’s about communication, or else you could be on another lonely path.
Some say that chivalry is dead, while others assume that women want equal rights. The biggest mistake when dating is trying to be too much on either side of this coin, which can prove to be somewhat negative overall. Instead of trying to be too much on either side, make sure that you move towards more chivalrous actions when they are open. For instance, open doors, offer her your jacket, and try to focus on doing things that make her feel comfortable.
Another big mistake that men make is they don’t listen enough. Pay close attention as to what is going on, and ask questions that show her that you are listening. If you aren’t interested, try to force some sort of attention so that you are not ignoring her in any way. Most men end up trying to talk about themselves or ignore their date, which can only prove to be problematic. Don’t go that route, you will be sorely disappointed, so pay attention, and keep in the conversation no matter what.
The preceding 3 mistakes that guys make with women are just some of the disastrous things that you’ll end up having to avoid if you’re serious about getting the girl of your dreams. Do not make the above mistakes, and instead try to focus on treating her with the utmost respect, and above all else, pay attention! If you want to move forward, you won’t need to throw up a huge banner, it will come easy, but only if you try to stick to being thoughtful, kind, and a good conversationalist.
One thing that you will want to be wary of, is being too nice, so don’t let her simply run all over the place without you, get involved, ask questions, and communicate. More back and forth there is, the better your dating experience will become.
