80% of akara residents live in slums
grin grin grin grin



The chief executive officer of the People’s Dialogue on Human Settlement has said 80% of Accra’s residents live in slums.

“There are basically two definitions we can ascribe to a slum. We identified five key areas; the one that talks about improved sanitation, the one that talks about clean water, the physical condition of the house, tenure security and overcrowding,” he said.

Speaking on Our Cities, Farouk Braimah said his outfit worked with the UN and Ministry Of Local Government to find a localized definition of slums and they discovered that some slums had grown, matured and nothing could be done about them except for regeneration.

“There are different categories of slums. We have one that has grown and matured and there is nothing we can do about it unless you wipe them out or do some regeneration; and we have the smaller slums which are more transient and we can deal with them by getting the people out of the area,” he stated.

Mr. Braimah further stated, “If you have a settlement that provides toilet facilities for a hundred people and the population increases to five hundred and you don’t expand the network of toilet facilities, there is definitely going to [be] an over-stretched pressure on this facility.”

“Over a long period of time, we have not had a significant improvement in housing… The houses are not there; the infrastructure is not expanding and more people are moving in so definitely, we’ll have a rundown tournament,” he added.


Your economy is like a biatch, it's fvcked up grin grin grin grin which country spends 70% of its allocation on wages? grin

gayna may borrow to pay, as 70% of revenue is spent on paying wages


The Minister of Finance and Economic Planning (MoFEP), Mr Seth Terkper, disclosed this when he took his turn to present the fiscal imbalances in the economy, partly caused by the rising wage bill, to labour unions, government agencies and other social groups at the just-ended two-day presidential stakeholders' forum.

The compensation payment covers salaries, allowances and other benefits.
Wages and salaries alone accounted for GH¢4.3 billion or 64.2 per cent of the tax revenue and 92 per cent of non-earmarked tax revenue of GH¢4.69 billion.

If the trend does not change, Ghana will be heading to the point where its revenue will not be enough to cover compensation, Wages and salaries and other benefit.

Even 50% of your budget come from foreigner donors! grin gayna is fvcked and should be annihilated grin grin grin


gayna is morally sick, needs urgent help grin grin

Former National Security Adviser Brigadier-General Joseph Nunoo-Mensah has expressed frustration at the moral decadence in the country, saying until critical introspection is carried out, the nation will continue to wallow in a state of “gloom” and “despair”.

To the Head of the Human Security Department of the National Security Council Secretariat, there is no need for Ghana to go anywhere looking for answers to its economic problems.

“We know what to do but lack the moral and political will to do so.”

Brigadier-General Nunoo Mensah was speaking over the weekend at a special ceremony to confer on him an honorary doctorate degree in humanity by the Pan-African Bible Seminary due to his philanthropic works.

“We are morally a sick nation,” he stated, mincing no words. “We need to seek urgent treatment.”

According to him, the country will never make any headway in its economic recovery programme as a result of the moral decay in the society.

“We do not have patriots anymore,” he said, citing the recent ignominy suffered by the nation as a result of the cash demands made by members of the senior national soccer team, the Black Stars, at the 2014 FIFA World Cup.

He said the only way to get the nation back on track is “to take certain brave measures to deal with this."

gaynaians are eating maggots grin grin grin grin

How's it my fault that gaynaians are maggot eating apes?



Accra, June 13 (Crusading Guide) -- Creamy and crispy Malt n Milk, Cleo Digestive, Wafer and Sweety biscuits are hot confectionaries for children and adults in the homes of most Ghanaians and other African countries. Cocktail parties buffet, wedding ceremonies ad other social gatherings, are spiced up with these tasty and nutritionally rich biscuits.

Little do people know, however, that when they eat these biscuits, they are indirectly gulping down roasted maggots, worm, weevils, termites and fungi. A company, Eurofood (Gh) Limited, situated off the Spintex Road in Accra, is where these unwholesome biscuits and others like Anibal, Bolo, Fitini, Baba Junior, Mobile, are produced.

The owners of the company, knowing very well that the flour used for producing the confectionaries had expired and could pose health hazard to unsuspecting consumers, put pressure on the labourers to work day and night so as to finish the over 1000 bags which had been stocked in the warehouse near the production room. Products of Eurofood can be found in the markets of Benin, Togo, Burkina Faso, Cote D'ivore and other West African countries.

The flour was produced by Grand Moulins of France under the brand name Melissa; but had been left to go bad. It weighs 50 kg and the expiry date on it is June 2006. Workers of the company said that they spotted the worms in the flour over two months ago. "In this company we do not sieve flour before using it; we pour it straight into the mixer, but in this particular case, we sieve the content of every sack because of the worms and insects. In every sack you find a lot of worms.

After sieving them we empty the maggots and the other little creatures into a big dustbin outside. These are direct instructions from the owners of the company.

I once reported it to some of our supervisors, Makoo, Kasim and Ellem, to advise management on what we were seeing but nothing has been done so far about it and we are quiet, because if you make small noise, you will be fired the next day and that will mean no food for your family", said Kwame Ansah, one of the labourers.

Paul Anum, a casual worker, said that he was always hurt on seeing that the products of Eurofood bear the inscription "Made in Ghana, "Foreigners must respect the people of this country. "These foreigners would not manufacture such bad products in their own countries. Infact, they don't even eat their own country biscuits produced by their own company. They buy other biscuits from super markets for their family while they produce these unwholesome products for Ghana and other countries", Anum lamented.

The World Health Organisation in a risk analysis report in 2002 (Geneva Switzerland, WHO/CDS/CSR EPH 2002.21) stated that the symptoms of food poisoning from such maggots can vary.

"Common symptoms include nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, diarrheoa, and sometimes fever. Occasionally, food poisoning can be very serious and even cause death. The length of the incubation period depends on the type of bacteria and how many are swallowed. It could be hours or days. The bacteria stick to the lining of the intestine and destroy the cells, either by sheer weight or numbers or by the toxins (poisons) they produce. Sometimes these toxins are absorbed and cause damage elsewhere in the body" the report said.

As at press time yesterday, the Ghana Police upon information by the Crusading Guide invited Ghana Television News team and stormed the premises of Eurofood to see things for themselves.

The operation was led by Chief Superintendent J K Agboada, Deputy Director, Police Operations. The Police, Ghana Standards Board and the Food and Drugs Board as a result of the shock they saw on the spot, immediately closed the place down, pending further directives from the top hierarchy of the Ghana Police Service.



suicide rate on increase in ghana grin grin grin grin



It was the classic study of Emile Durkheim on suicide in 1897, that exposed the subject matter to many people in the world.

The academic piece categorised the subject matter into egoistic, altruistic, anomic and fatalistic suicides.

According to the Theorist who was also a renowned Sociologist, suicide of all sorts were blamable on the society, explaining that society pushes individuals to commit the act.

Durkheim said egoistic suicide occurs when an individual in the society losses the bond; togetherness and oneness that humans have with their families and friends. Excessive individuation, that is the increasing detachment of the individual from his/her community and family makes the person to feel worthless and could result in suicide. This individuation is more common in individualistic societies like Europe, but is gradually catching up in Africa due to rapid urbanisation.

He said another cause of suicide is a sense of being overwhelmingly engaged in group goals and believes. This occurs in societies with very high integration, example being the military field where people may kill themselves to satisfy group goals. This type of suicide is termed altruistic suicide.

Anomic suicide reflects an individual’s moral confusion and lack of social direction, which is reflected in dramatic social and economic upheaval and includes extreme economic failures or dramatic economic fortunes.

Fatalistic suicide is common when a person is extensively regulated, when their futures are pitilessly blocked with oppressive discipline. It occurs in oppressive societies such as prisons because the person is denied of his/her freedom.

Suicide, an act of one killing him/her self is becoming increasingly high in Ghana lately. Not too long ago, a lawyer of high repute allegedly hanged himself in a popular suburb in Accra. A pastor equally died in similar strange and unexplained circumstances.

A national daily reported that the 44-year-old Lawyer, Kofi Yawson-Adjei, who was the Secretary of Ghana Institution of Surveyors and a Valuer, hanged himself in his private office on the first floor of rented premises at Adabraka.

The father of three is said to have left his Kokomlemle residence about 0300 hours for his office in a taxi. He left a written note directing a lady named Narh to give a signed cheque for GH¢3,000 to his wife.

The Ghana News Agency also reported that two persons including a fetish priest committed suicide in separate incidents in the Eastern Region. They were Andrews Dramani, 25, a worker of the Ghana Youth Employment and Entrepreneurial Development Agency, and Kwasi Kuma, a 54-year fetish priest.

Unconfirmed report indicates that at least five people commit suicide each day in Ghana.

The America Centre for Disease Control and Prevention which is responsible for collecting data on suicide said in 2010, 38, 364 persons committed suicide in the US, making the act the 10th leading cause of death in that country.

It noted that someone died every 13.7 minutes through suicide that year. This situation might not be too different in Ghana given the rapid social changes affecting every fabric of the society.

Dr Dan-Bright Dzorgbo, Head of the Sociology Department of the University of Ghana said there was no scientific statistics of suicide in Ghana but agreed that the trend is increasing in the country.

He said the rising cases of suicide are as a result of social inequality due to the wide gap between the rich and the poor.

He explained that even though Ghana could be classified as a lower middle-income country, only few people are economically satisfied, leaving the majority to wallow in abject poverty.

Dr Dzorgbo told the Ghana News Agency that due to social mobility, many people strive to move up the social ladder and through that they might contract loans and their inability to pay back results in suicide.

He said there is so much hopelessness in the country without any social support mechanisms to address the needs of the disadvantaged.

Dr Dzorgbo noted that the family system had also broken down and created individualistic societies where each one fends for him or herself. Sociologically speaking, Dzorgbo said suicide is becoming very common in Ghana because life is becoming very competitive.

“People move to urban environment trying to do something better but they are unable to meet the target…This can cause suicide”.

Dr Dzorgbo said in traditional societies like Ghana, most people who commit suicide might have done something wrong and might not want to expose themselves and as such commit suicide to end it all.

He was of the view that traditional support systems have become weak in the country especially as economic and social nobilities are becoming supreme, and suggested the need for the academia to conduct research to ascertain the facts concerning the phenomena.

Dr Dzorgbo suggested to the government to introduce social protection policies to assist the less privileged in the society to overcome the problems.

He observed that insurance policies must equally be introduced to aid the people.

The American Foundation for Suicide, which has been focusing on the study of the subject indicates risk factors to suicide as; mental disorders, in particular depression or bipolar (manic-depressive) disorder, alcohol or substance abuse or dependence, schizophrenia, borderline or antisocial personality disorder and conduct disorder (in youth).

Additionally, the Foundation said psychotic disorders; psychotic symptoms in the context of any disorder, anxiety disorders, impulsivity and aggression, previous suicide attempt and family history of attempted or completed suicide are all serious risk factors to suicide.

Research from social psychologists shows that about 50 to 75 per cent of the people who commit suicide usually show symptoms.

People thinking about suicide may say so directly: “I’m going to kill myself,” “I just want the pain to end,” or “I can’t see any way out.”

Most of the time, people who kill themselves talk about wanting to kill themselves, or saying they wish they were dead.

They look for a way to kill themselves, such as hoarding medicine or buying a gun, talking about a specific suicide plan, feel hopeless or having no reason to live, feeling trapped, desperate, or needing to escape from an intolerable situation.

Some also have the feeling of being a burden to others, feeling humiliated, having intense anxiety and panic attacks.

More so, losing interest in things, or losing the ability to experience pleasure, insomnia, becoming socially isolated and withdrawn from friends, family, and others are all signs of to tragic incidents.

According to Assistant Superintendent of Police Ebenezer Tetteh, Northern Regional Public Relations Officer, suicide is a criminal offence and when convicted, a person may face stiffer punishment.

He explained that the criminal code Act 29 of 1960 gives the legal bases for suicide to be a crime.

It must be pointed out that suicide is not only a national crisis but a developmental obstacle that must be debated across the country and there must be a body responsible to reduce or prevent the menace.

The classification of suicide as a criminal offence must also be relooked, while government should concentrate efforts at improving social relations and the living standards of the people.

Ghana cannot afford to lose precious lives through suicide and something must be done without delay.

Toilet sanitation in south Africa

According to the World Health Organisation, a child under the age of five dies every 15 seconds due to diseases as a result of poor or no sanitation. It is estimated that nearly 1.5 million Children die every year of diarrhea (more) Approximately 133 million children under the age of five will die before the end of 2030. In 2007 the child mortality rate in South Africa accounted for more than 40 000 children or one child every 15 minutes.”

TODAY`S MARKET FOR SANITATION IS DYSFUNCTIONAL, MAINLY DUE TO MUTED DEMAND AND LOW PRIORITY AMONG INDIVIDUALS. MARKET BASED APPROACH IS REQUIRED TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM AT GRASS ROOT LEVEL AND AT A LARGE SCALE… JACK SIM FOUNDER OF THE WORLD TOILET ORGANISATION

SATO is a non-profit organization committed to improving toilet and sanitation conditions on the African Continent. SATO is also one of the few organizations to focus on toilets instead of water, which receives more attention and resources under the common subject of sanitation. SATO was founded to work towards eliminating the toilet taboo and delivering sustainable sanitation to Africans.

Important Facts: The world is still on track for reaching the MDG drinking water target, but the trend appears to be deteriorating. On current trends, the world will miss the sanitation target by more than half a billion people.
Every year, unsafe water, coupled with a lack of basic sanitation, kills at least 1.6 million children under the age of five years more than eight times the number of people who died in the Asian tsunami of 2004.
At the beginning of the Water for Life decade, 1.1 billion people did not have access to an improved source of drinking water.
84% of the population without access to an improved source of drinking water live in rural areas.


11 646 South African schools still using pit toilets grin grin

A reply to a DA parliamentary question has revealed
that 11 646 of the 23 906 schools in South Africa still
use pit toilets with KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) and the
Eastern Cape accounting for 60% of the pit toilets in
schools. KZN accounts for 3 419 of these pit toilets
and the Eastern Cape accounts for 3 535. This is a
disgrace.
The DA will write to the Minister of Basic Education,
Angie Motshekga, requesting a progress report on
her Department’s interventions in the provinces
most affected, and what steps will be taken to
address these continued problems.
The reply also reveals that 518 schools in KZN are
without electricity.
It is clear that most provinces are not meeting their
infrastructure targets, forcing learners to endure
horrific conditions at schools.
The use of open pit toilets presents a very real
danger to students as they breed disease and
harbour bacteria which can cause illness. It is
extremely dangerous for young children in
particular to use these toilets. As such, the Minister
must look to putting measures in place to ensure
that these toilets are maintained and kept safe in the
interim.
The relevant provincial departments must as a
matter of urgency provide functional sanitation
facilities at South African schools to ensure the
health and safety of our country’s young learners
while affording them the dignity that they deserve.
If the Minister is serious about transforming
education in South Africa, she would do well to
consider placing proper facilities in South African
schools for our youth to learn in a safe and clean
environment.
