LIVERPOOL DISMANTLE THE GUNNERS.

The Humiliating defeat that was encountered today, 29th December, 2018 by Arsenalbcame as a shock to almost every football fanatic. Liverpool beaten Arsenal by that margin is no news but looking at the current form of the Gunners, one would have thought that,
Arsenals should have had a competitive game with Liverpool.

Arsenal registered the first goal of the game by Maitland Niles assisted by the Nigerian international Alex Iwobi at the eleventh(11th) minutes. Arsenal fans joyously celebrated the goal thinking that the game could continue in that order.
However, the trend of the skewed to the favour of Liverpool.

Liverpool equalized the goal at the 14th minutes by Firmino and it followed in a sequential order. Firmino registered a hatrick, Sadio Mane and Mo Salah also scored goals. The ended in 5:1.

KOTOKO ARE DETERMINED TO BEAT KARIABANGI SHARKS.

"Kum apem a apem bɛba."



Over the last 8 months, Ghana football has been put to a halt following the Anas Aremeyaw Anas' number 12 exposé. One would have thought that, the Normalization Committee would have expedite their activities to reshape Ghana football.
What have actually been their inputs? Can the Committee really bring something better on board? These questions have been asked severally by a lot of Ghanaian football fanatics.

Ghanaians doubted Kotoko's preparedness to represent Ghana in the CAF Confederation Cup for reasons best known to them. "Kotoko is not ready for CAF Confederation Cup." This became the talk of many football fans, most especially those who do not support the team in any way.

The Management Board of the team stood on their grounds and fought for their right. The really fought a battle and won.

WHAT AT ALL CAN THEY DO??




The above question became the lyrics that was found in the songs of many Ghanaians. As to whether the team can do something or not, it is a matter of time.

The team prepared thoroughly and played their first game with a Kenyan side KARIANBANGYI SHARKS on Saturday, 15th December,2018 which had already beaten a Djiboutian side SOLAR ART (agg: 9:1). Asante Kotoko put up a spectacular performance and managed to win a point from that match.
The outcome of the game had really boosted the morale of the playing body viz a viz the Management team. The players are mentally, emotionally,financially, spiritually and physically determined to beat the Kenyan side on Saturday.

CAN THE GATE FEES AFFECT THE TURN OUT?

Arguably, the major factor that inhibits a chunk number of supporters showing in a stadium during a football match is the gate fares.

The zeal for Ghanaians to support and follow local football  has totally diminished. One would have thought that, Management of Kotoko should have had a second look at the gate fees and make it quite affordable to all.  I strongly believe that, this would drive away a lot of football fans from going to the stadium to watch the Match.

However, the dire hard supporters of the team will overlook the gate fare and still show up in their numbers to cheer the boys up.

The possible scoreline of the match would be 2:0 in favour of the home team.

THE AMANKUMA FESTIVAL.

THE AMANKUMA FESTIVAL.
Adansimediagh.blogspot.com
Festivals are  occasions where a group of people who share common values and beliefs come together to celebrate and remember the past.
There are various Traditional festivals in Ghana. Some of these festivals are Aboakyir,Akwambo,Homoowo, Hogbetsotso, Kundum,Odwira,Damba, Kotoklo etc.

The Amankuma festival is one of the traditional festivals in Ghana. It is celebrated by the people of 'Apinto(Awudua)' a suburb of Tarkwa in the Western Region of Ghana. The Apinto Traditional Council are the custodians of the Tarkwa stool lands. These people are very rich and powerful.

This year's celebration starts from 10th to 16th December on the theme: "The Ban on Small Scale Mining: Our Socio-Economic Heritage and the Way Forward".
The launch was held at Tarkwa in the Tarkwa-Nsuaem Municipality of the Western Region.

Festivals and Durbars in Ghana are very colourful and vibrant part of the culture, and these are held in various parts of the country every year to celebrate the heritage and culture of the people.

Celebration of Festivals are also very important historically, and it has a greater impact on a country's socio-economic development. The people of Wassa in the Apinto Divisional Council cannot be left out when it comes to the celebration of festivals in Ghana.

HISTORIC BACKGROUND:

Apinto Divisional Council celebrate Amankuma Festival. The festival has historical background with it's people in the 17th century. History has it that, the people of Apinto from Awudua Dada (Old Awudua) had a crocodile god living together with them.

The crocodile according to history paid a regular visits to the people and whenever they are faced with challenges the crocodile would provide them with support in a form of vomiting gold to them. The people in Awudua has an enblem of crocodile which is an indicative of Amankuma. The crocodile normally provides the people the of Apinto with ease them from suffering.
In honouring the crocodile, the chiefs, elders and people of Apinto of Awudua made it a custom to visit the crocodile regularly and celebrate it supports. By doing these, the Crocodile gets satisfied and it's able to provide the people with their needs.

They have a belief that the crocodile supported them in difficult times during the migration from 'Awudua Dada' to the current place and so they owe it a duty to celebrate the crocodile god.

REALITY OF LIFE

THE REALITY OF LIFE:

1) Life is not all about money. Money is very good but it's not everything. Do not be deceived by the desire for money; for the root of all evil is money. Be submissive and committed to whatever you do and you will definitely be blessed. We should not allow ourselves to be controlled by MONEY; for money is not everything.

2) Prosperity comes from above. You can find any foul or dubious means to be affluent but at the end it will vanish. Blessings are of the Lord. Anyone who seeks refuge in the Lord and waits patiently upon the Lord enjoys the blessings thereof.

3) It does not matter how strong the storms may be, it shall surely be calmed down when the Lord speaks. Wait patiently for the Lord and you blessings shall surely be granted at the appointed time.

4) You may be despised by your family or friends for the sake of righteousness. You may be persecuted because of your  chaste life. When these things happen, do not give up; for the Glorious Father is always in control.

5) He who has no Christ is blind in disguise. You may  be considered as the richest and the most *respected your community; if you have no Christ, you have nothing. He who takes consolation in material things is like a farmer who cultivates  on rocks; he harvests nothing at the end.

6) There is more power in the name *JESUS CHRIST.* At the mention of the name CHRIST, every knee bows and every tongue confesses. (Ref: David vs Goliath). David had Dominion over Goliath through the name JESUS.

7) The Omnipotence of God can never be underestimated. In fact, we serve a LIVING GOD; a more powerful God whose Kingdom is indescribable.

8) All things being equal, the Key catalysts to a fruitful life are;
       a) Humility
      b) Honesty
     c) Hard work
    d) Commitment
    e) Self-Discipline
    f)  Chastity

9) You reap what you sow. This principle is very applicable in all facets of life. Do unto others as you want others to do unto you.

 *Think wisely, act wisely and the Lord will surely bless you.*

Thanks for your time. May the Good Lord bless you as you adhere to the WORDS above.

Have a blissful week.

"WE NEED OUR MONEY"- EX AGA WORKERS IN OBUASI.

Anglo Gold Ashanti is one of the reputable mining companies in the country. Their contribution towards the development of Ghana cannot be underestimated.

In the year 2014, the company faced some Economic hardship so it had to devise a management strategy that could reduce the size of the workers in the company. Majority of the workers at the operational level were mainly affected and became redundant; they were unexpectedly asked to go home with little or no  financial compensation. These workers had no option than to adhere to the decision thinking that, there would be some compensation packages there after.

Four(4) years down the line, the workers have not yet receive their compensation packages. The delay of the payment has really affected the lives of these Ex-workers. Some have had to sell their properties to make ends meet.


Adansi Media had an interview with one of the affected Ex-workers and he said it emphatically that," the Management keep on promising us about the payment of the money. Some of us have been affected in diverse ways,we have tried our possible best to get our Money but it is to no avail. All the media houses in Obuasi have kept mute on this matter and we do not have anyone to come to our aid."

We( Adansi Media) are not here to undermine the integrity of the company. We highly respect and hold Anglo Gold Ashanti to high esteem. The reason behind this is to showcase the plights and ordeals of our people to the world. 

We strongly believe that, if these people deserve to be paid, the Company should be agile in their administration of the payment.
Thank you.
