A customer sent some thugs to collect back the money he paid to me for a job I did for him . I got the customer and one of the thugs arrested, the customer gave back the money the thugs took from me to the police. When I got home that day, more of them thugs attacked me again for arresting their friends in their own country. They beat me up and robbed me of 2,600gh and some other items I had on me. I managed to escape to the police station.

We made another arrest, but they released them on the ground that the thugs work with the police as informants.

I went to the office of the PPSB in tafo. At first they promised to help but later asked me to go back to the police station and work with the station commander.

I wasn't safe with the commander because he started cooperating with the thugs parents'. So I had to write a petition to the IGP in Accra.

When they invited the officers involved to Accra that was when they called me to come to the station for peace talk. When I got to the station they told me I want to make them lose their job in their own country. They got me arrested, seized my car before repatriation.

I hope this will do!

Hmmm. This's sad to hear. I'm Ghanaian. Where I live I've seen three different sets of police constables in the past 5 years or so. I think they rotate them every 2 years probably, because of issues of corruption, 'familiarity', etc etc. I hope it's nationwide. BUT the big men, the commanders I still see around

Your best bet for redress is 'publicity'/ exposure, where your Issue is discussed in public and the offending parties interrogated. Hopefully you have hard evidence and witnesses to back your case

Unfortunately most people like to report their Issues to the radio/TV stations because they usually get results. The 'big men' hate to be 'embarrassed', so when their issues are out there, they quickly want to address it so they're not seen in bad light

So contact the radio/TV stations. Go to their twitter pages, the police's/IGPs twitter pages. Get a lawyer's opinion. At least exhaust these avenues before you go further

I'm not sure anybody is worried. Brazilians see naked, near naked bodies all the time, it's not this 'covered up naked woman' who'd tempt them. And Brazilians have sexy bodies, covered up or not

Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm now trying to contact joy FM. I'll post n update on that.

The IGP already signed an investigator, by then I was already in Nigeria. When we spoke on phone, he ( investor ) said he can't carry on with the case only when am in the country.

I couldn't go back because I was fearing for my life, and also the office of the Nigeria people in diaspora didn't get involved. I don't know who to trust anymore.

Am asking, is it safe to go back and fight for my properties, or should I forget them and start all over here in Nigeria??

For people now hearing about your issue, If you don't mind, can you briefly tell us what​ the issue is?

Charlie not true my guy , Ghanaians are generally biased towards Nigerians to be frank.
Very bad on the habits of some Nigerians committing crimes in Ghana.
I will implore you to visit GhanaWeb to see the Prison sentence their judges dish out to the Ghanaians on such crimes.

I'm Ghanaian so I know these stuff. Ghanaian prison sentences are generally very high, some are even unreasonable. I see ivory coast too dishes out very hefty prison sentences. And yes there's the 'foreigner' especially nigeria bias too where Nigerians are handed very high sentences.

Some Nigerians don't help matters with the heinous crimes they commit. There's the infamous case of the Nigerian Takoradi kidnapper who kidnapped 4 teen girls, raped them, killed them and dumped their bodies in a septic tank for no reason. You could imagine the Nigeria hate then. Lots of Ghanaians didn't even know what kidnapping was

I contacted PPSB at tafo kumasi, they signal the police station. I think they work with the local police. At first they promised to help me. They invited the Inspetor, he came and wrote statement involving the station crime officer, they also invited the crime officer in north santraso station kumasi , one Mr Emmanuel , later he said he was taking orders from the station commander ( Mr Yeboa ). Mr yeboa didn't show up, they only spoke on phone . They ( PPSB ) sent me back to the station to meet with the station commander hoping he would do the right thing because they are now involved, when I got to the station, the commander was not happy with me .
So I wrote petition to the IGP. The invited him to Accra, he ( Mr yeboa called me so we can sort things, when I got to the office he got me arrested for reporting him. They beat me up and seized my car before repatriation.
Please how do I contact joy FM from Nigeria??

Joy FM's contact info is on the internet, I'm sure you can reach them from there.

I don't know the nature of your issue, but some few things to share with you. when you're dealing with Ghanaian leadership, especially in your capacity as a 'foreigner', you have to tread cautiously

You don't 'fight' them alone, you make sure there're at least 2 of you meeting with them. Especially a respectable country man or a local)

You try to be cooperative and 'compromise' in some aspects. Like in most parts of Africa, most of our leaders have never been challenged, or 'embarrassed' so the least 'embarrassment' they're angry and want to show you where power lies. Etc etc

All the best

brandsoncharlie:
Nigerian government dey mumu pity dem now, them give your citizen 40 years but u dey give them 7 years, no be to give them 60 years as payback.

It's 20 years per person, and the judges, who didn't make the law, are only following what the law prescribes for that type of crime. Has nothing to do with them being Nigerian/foreigners or not. Ghanaians also get hefty years

businesshub101:
Exchanging Naira to cedis holds no water again.

The cedis is gaining momentum.

A bottle of beer sells for around over 5cedis now.

I don’t take coke, but I assure you, coke in Ghana is much more expensive than coke in nigeria.

Fuel is also expensive here.

Can one bring cedis into nigeria, change it into naira and be able to 'enjoy' life, because things are cheaper in Nigeria? I've heard some Ghanaians do that last year when the cedi was stronger

Ghana police has a special office for sanctioning unruly police officers called PIPPS. Contact them. The new Ghana igp is no nonsense, friendly, professional, down to earth. Find a way to contact him

Contact some of the proper media houses in Ghana, like joy FM/tv, citi FM/TV etc. They're reputable, fear no one and would speak for you

Skibani99:
When will you guys make plans for us to begin tasting these food..looks yummy, Good job..

That's the next invention we're waiting for. Gadgets to enable remote smelling of food at least

Fried plantains go well with beans. Yams, unripe plantain go well with egg sauce. Where do you guys learn your wierd food combinations from?

kilimanjaro:
This is Ghana, they are so gullible in that country

It's a skit. The man does these "embarrassing" "bad pastor" skits to "educate" people. The actors are not naked. Look for his behind the scenes videos of how he does his skits. He's been warned to stop.

Wizzzzmike:
Do you know the meaning of gullible? Lol
Do you Nigerians take a good look at urself before you talk?

Exactly Mike. There was a story here yesterday of a Nigerian who bit off the penis of a fellow Nigerian thief. He literally put his lips to the thieve's penis and bit a part off.

If this had happened in Ghana, Kenya, Zimbabwe you'd get Nigerians tagging us with strange names. But these same Nigerians are no better

slawomir:
Damnnn niggar

I understand the feelings...

Nor be stone we dey cook na beans very soon he go done....na only time he go take...last last Stammerer go call he papa name

To all my real niggarrrrs lets Declare a war on poverty...we will drink all type of tea except pover-TEA

I die here tonight

Don't be encouraging crime. Do you know some of these people engage in ritual murders to further their cause? Thereby promoting insecurity in the country? Your friend or family could fall victim.

STOP deceiving us. These models you posted here before pictures are them without make up. In their After pictures, they put on make up.

Thank you. I really appreciate

Hello Pristine, i really need help.
I need a workout plan. I'm a rookie and only have a dumbell. Because of my work schedule and security conditions here I'll not be able to visit gyms around so i opted to buy dumbell and practice at home.
I really need a workout plan and other necessary advices. Waiting to hear from you soon, thanks

Let me offer some help, I'm also home gyming

Your focus should be on COMPOUND EXERCISES, like bench press, squats, deadlift, etc. They work multiple muscles at the same time, you're able to lift heavier weights and become stronger/muscular quickly as compared to ISOLATION EXERCISES like dumbbell curls etc

Build a home gym. Build a simple flat bench press, get plates from scrapyards etc, weigh them and write their weights on them so you know how much weight you're pushing, get 1 or 2 barbells for bench press, barbell curls, squats, deadlifts etc, build a gym rack so you don't drop weights on yourself in the absence of a spotter

Read up on bodybuilding/weight lifting. Lift heavy, don't spend more than one hour per gym session. Gym at least 3x per week. Don't gym everyday, but every other day because compound exercises are tasking, and you'd need adequate rest.

Eat small portions of food every 2/3 hours. Protein, beans, groundnut/groundnutspaste, eggs, fish, vitamin c etc

All the best

Has he gotten his chain? Is there juju in the chain?

hatakekakashi:
Ghana's complete attention is turned on football and developing Ghana premier league. They're trying in that aspect.

Even the football it's only the Black Stars that get the most attention. We need to pay good attention to all sports

Ghana has won 5 medals at the Commonwealth. 2 silver, 3 bronze, and is 7th on the African medal table out of 12 African nations. Our gold medal hopeful for boxing fell sick and couldn't compete in his final match so settled for silver. Our men 4 by 100 relay team qualified for the final race but got disqualified because of a technicality etc etc. Ghana should be doing better in these competitions

JaskanFactor:
if you gain weight, youre more likely to suffer knee problems that will eventually require continuous knee operation for the rest of your life. Youre are at your most beautiful just the way you are.

Its good to lift moderate weights, anything else will cause you all kinds muscle and bone damage.

A lot of people dont know that professional athletes and hardcore keep fit types end up in wheel chair as they age more than people who are not athletes .

The doctor who popularised jugging in the 70s/80s, died of heart attack before he was 70, jugging on concrete is bad for knees and dangerous for heart.

This is why they say, the best exercise is the one a 70 year old can do, anything else, and you risk doing harm to your body.
And lifting weights , gaining weight also comes with stretch marks all over your body.

Also excess food/fat in stomach eventually leads to cancer, this is why regular fasting is now getting very popular in western world as way to stay healthy.

So youre moving in the opposite direction of all currently known medical safety facts.

in short you are looking for medical trouble.

Working out, especially weight lifting is even the healthiest thing to do. It strengthens the bones, the heart, makes the body burn food efficiently etc etc. If a weight lifter is able to eat 'clean' healthy foods, and lift heavy weights with proper form, he's the healthiest he can be.

The use of PROPER FORM is crucial in weight lifting. It's people who use steroids etc who suffer debilitating effects of weight lifting

LUAN:
raw Bean. Can someone eat raw beans

I'm just emphasising that he should have plentiful beans, groundnuts etc in storage for consumption

Welcome to the world of bodybuilding. You'd NEED KNOWLEDGE to be able to 'gym' correctly and safely. Bodybuilding is a science. Go to bodybuilding. com or Wikipedia and read up on bodybuilding/weight lifting

Do more COMPOUND EXERCISES, like bench press, squats, pull up, deadlift, etc. They work more than one body part, allow you to lift heavier weights thereby making you stronger/bigger quickly as compared to ISOLATION exercises like bicep curls, leg extensions etc


Since you won't go to the gym, build your own gym. Get metal plates from mechanics etc. Weigh them with spring balance and write their weights in kilos on each plate. The plates are very important.

Build a bench press. Get 2 adjustable dumbbells. Get another bar for barbell curls etc

Have food around. Have beans, groundnuts, make groundnut paste, etc

Read on PROPER FORM on how these exercises should be performed. Very important.

So you are advising the doubting father to procure a rinoplasty for a baby he's not sure if he's the dad?

I'm just speaking in general terms. Small noses look good on people and monkeys.

blaquebelle:
I bet our noses look tiny and ugly to the monkeys

Lol.

Put a thin smaller nose on the monkey and it'd look cute. Our noses easily can enhance or mar our beauty

rickleye:
Where's the science behind your comment though.

It's just observational. The HD vs no HD picture quality is very noticeable in an air-conditioned vs non air-conditioned room. So I made my own conclusion. I'm sure if we look it up there'd be some science behind it

Ebubu3:
is dubai cold ?

Dubai pictures don't look HD to me. It's the glam, beauty of Dubai that gives great pictures

slimjohn2k5:
Why pictures abroad always dey look like HD

It's the cold environment. Compare pictures taken in air-conditioned environment vs one without

PetroDolla2020:
Which “incontrovertible answers” are you talking about? By the way, why are Nigerians soo desperate to sell themselves as having conquered all in West Africa? This “history” you are spinning exist in the minds of conceited Nigerians and their foreign cohorts. Tell me one Ghanaian history book that confirms all these crap?

what does abbosey okai, Nima etc have in common with Nigeria? And where is that HEAVY Nigeria origins you pontificate?

La Paz, is a popular Accra suburb. It is also the name of the capital city of a southern American country. Tell me, what is the connection between La Paz in South America and La Paz in Accra?

Citifm organises a monthly Heritage month in March every year where astute Ghanaian historians talk about the origins of some Ghana names, places etc. The Nigeria origins of Nima, Abossey okai spare parts business, Makola etc are all documented. Our current chief imam's father or grandfather is a Nigerian migrant etc etc

There're some Ghanaian families too that moved to Nigeria in those early days and made names for themselves. The Fante kramo (muslims) of Central region are Senegal soldiers who were brought here by the colonists to assist them. The Hausa are indigenous to Nigeria and Niger. The Hausa of Ghana are Nigeria migrants who were brought here by the colonists, came here to trade etc. These are all documented "facts"

Ghana's influence is what we have over ivory coast. Where about 50% of Ivorians are essentially made up of Akan people who fled there in the olden days. The Ivorians don't dispute this.

That our history books don't mention these "Nigeria influence" on Ghana doesn't mean they're ​not true. But our history books even mention them. The Ile Ife origins of the Ewe, Ga etc are well documented in Ghanaian books for example

Even that aside, you should know there're many PERSPECTIVES from which issues can be looked at. For instance I know the Ijaw are an ethnic group in Nigeria, I never knew they had some Ghanaian origins. Our history books never mentioned it. But I learnt about that on nairaland here

I also learnt about Nnamdi Azikiwe's paying of Nkrumah's travel fees to study abroad here. Our regular school history books didn't mention this. Although I hear Nkrumah mentions it in some of his autobiography. And how Nigeria would have gotten independence before Ghana etc etc. That Ghanaian historians or our history books didn't mention these stuff doesn't mean they didn't happen or are not true. OTHER people wrote on these things or saw things from a DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE

Nice one Chrisistruth.

PetroDolla2020:
And how did Brazilian slave descendants originate from Nigeria and ended up in Ghana?

You know you can easily look up these questions you're asking right? I'm glad Chrisistruth is giving you incontrovertible answers.

Our makola (original is mokola in Ibadan), abossey okai, nima etc have HEAVY Nigeria origins. When you know these stuff, you'd act differently
