Prostitutes in Cameroon release new prices ahead of 2021 Afcon

Ahead of the 2021 Afcon to staged in Cameroon, prostitutes in the country have increased their prices as they are ready to serve those who will patronize them in a different level

Prostitutes in Cameroon have revealed an updated price ahead of the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations to be staged in January, 2022.

The tournament which was originally scheduled to take place between last June and July in five cities and six stadiums, will now be held in January of next year with kick off slated for January 9 and ends on February 6.

Although, supporters and stakeholders who travelled to the last Afcon staged in Egypt could not find enjoyment since prostitution is prohibited by Islamic religion, Cameroon is quite different.

The laws of the country prohibits prostitution but it is done in the underground world with huge market.

Ghana are set to face the Atlas Lions for the second time in six months after the two teams were pitted against each other in Group C which also contains Gabon and Comoros.

It will be their first encounter since Morocco registered a 1-0 victory in an international friendly in Rabat in June.

The draw for the final tournament, which runs between January 9 and February 6 next year, was conducted in the Cameroonian capital of Yaounde on Tuesday evening.

Ghana, who are on the search for their fifth tournament title and their first since 1982, will face Morocco in their opening game at Stade Ahmadou Ahidjo in Yaounde.

The Black Stars will then switch attention to face a Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang-led Gabon in their second game on January 14 before wrapping up their group stage assignment with a tie against the Comoros Island who are set to make their debut appearance at the tournament.

Milovan Rajevac’s outfit will hope to finish among the top two in their group or among the best four third-placed sides to make it to the knock-out stage of the competition.

At Afcon, Ghana and Morocco last faced each other at the 2008 tournament where the former, hosts of the tournament, registered a 2-0 victory in their last group game, courtesy of goals from Michael Essien and Sulley Muntari.

The Black Stars’ last fixture against Gabon at the continental showpiece ended in a 1-0 victory at the 1989 championship.

The West Africans and Comoros have never met at Afcon but their last encounter in any competition came in the 2018 World Cup qualifiers where Mubarak Wakaso and Jordan Ayew scored to ensure passage from the preliminary round to the group stage of the series.

At Cameroon next year, Ghana will hope to make amends for a disappointing outing in Egypt in 2019 where they exited the competition at the Round of 16. It was their first time since 2006 failing to reach the quarter-final of the tournament.

Price list below:

Round one: $30 and has been increased to $40

Round two: From $20 to $70

Round three: From $40 to $100

Half night: From $70 to $130

Full day: $250.

These prices were grabbed from a long-term prostitute ‘Ashawo’ in Cameroon whose name can not be mentioned.

You’ll REGRET it if you reject 1teacher-1laptop – Angel Carbonu to teachers

Amidst concerns raised by teachers across the country on how substandard laptops are being forced on them, the NAGRAT chief insists its members should accept the laptops and give them out to their family members even if they don’t personally need them

The National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT) has warned its members across the country that they stand disadvantaged if they reject the laptops being provided to them by government under the One Teacher-One Laptop programme.

According to NAGRAT, the laptops form part of the measures being rolled out by the Ministry of Education to better-motivate teachers to do a lot more for the education sector.

NAGRAT is of the view that teachers who refuse to take the laptops because of the issues surrounding their procurement will later regret their decision.

The president of NAGRAT, Mr Angel Carbonu, said the laptops are to unearth the professionalism in teachers across the country.

He was of the view that this is a good deal from the government to all teachers.

Mr Carbonu said teachers stand to lose a great deal if they refuse to take the laptops because the government is bearing a major portion of the price.

He said the laptops are a motivator rather than a burden on the teachers.

Mr Carbonu made this comment in an interview on Accra-based Neat FM on Wednesday, 8 December 2021.

In his view, having the laptops in this teacher licensure dispensation would do the teachers a lot of good.

“Teachers who feel they already have laptops should still take it and give it out to their family members because the product is one of the subsidised freebies from the government to teachers. Don’t reject it or you’ll badly regret the action in future,” he said

Asante Kotoko CEO Nana Yaw Amponsah and others meet StarTimes to settle differences

The Porcupine Warriors top hierarchy held a meeting with the Ghana Premier League television right owners on Thursday to thrash out several issues

Management members of Ghana Premier League giants Asante Kotoko held a successful meeting with the top hierarchy of Chinese television company StarTimes on Thursday in Accra.

The meeting became necessary after a section of Kotoko fans accused StarTimes of bias way of telecasting their games.
Some of the supporters believe that StarTimes deliberately prevent viewers from watching replays of events that favour their club but they are quick to repeat those that go against them.

Some supporters have even accused StarTimes of conniving with referee Nunoo who officiated the Kumasi derby against King Faisal as he overturned a penalty he awarded Kotoko.

Reports were initially rife that fourth referee Daniel Laryea was prompted by some crew members of StarTimes that he should advise the centre referee to rescind his decision to award Kotoko a penalty since it was a wrong call.

Moreover, Kotoko chief executive officer Nana Yaw Amponsah has constantly argued that it is inappropriate for all clubs to equally share the television money since games involving Kotoko and Hearts are always televised live.

“Management today held a special dialogue meeting with the management of StarTimes, official broadcasters of the #GPL, to discuss matters of mutual concern,” a club statement read.

“Both parties laid bare their concerns and resolved to work harmoniously for the betterment of Ghana football.

“We entreat all our fans to remain calm and be rest assured that Management will always strive for the best interest of our dear club,” the statement added.

Kotoko’s matchday seven fixture against bitter rivals Hearts of Oak which would have been played over the weekend has been postponed since the latter is yet to arrive in the country after participating in the Caf Confederation Cup playoffs.

Hearts were thrashed 4-0 by Algerian side JS Saoura and got eliminated 4-2 on aggregate.

Asante Kotoko deny reports they’ve secured a loan to buy new bus

The Porcupine Warriors have vehemently denied reports that they have secured a bank loan to purchase a new bus

Asante Kotoko director of communications David Obeng Nyarko has denied reports that the club have secured a bank loan to purchase a new bus.

Reports were rife earlier this week that Kotoko had taken a Ghç1.3 million loan from an unnamed bank to purchase a new bus since the one the players currently use is not in a good shape.

Kotoko currently top the league log with 13 points despite losing the Kumasi derby against King Faisal last weekend.

Kotoko’s game against Hearts of Oak on matchday seven has been rescheduled due to the latter’s participation in Caf inter-club competitions. The Phobians faced Algerian side JS Saoura in the play off of Caf Confederation Cup.

POPE SAYS SEX OUTSIDE MARRIAGE IS ‘NOT THE MOST SERIOUS SIN’

POPE SAYS SEX OUTSIDE MARRIAGE IS ‘NOT THE MOST SERIOUS SIN’

The Catholic Pope has suggested that cheating on your wife or husband isn’t the greatest of sins that man will commit

Pope Francis, leader of the Catholic Church, has said sex outside of marriage is not the “most serious” sin.

During a question and answer session with reporters on a flight back to Italy from Greece on Monday, the Pope said: “Sins of the flesh are not the most serious.”

Instead, he said that pride and hatred were “the most serious” of sins.

The Pope was also asked about the resignation of the Archbishop of Paris, Michel Aupetit, who offered to step down earlier this month after a French magazine claimed he had engaged in an intimate relationship with a woman.

Traditionally, Archbishops and higher members of the Catholic Church follow clerical celibacy, which means they abstain from sex.

The Archbishop denied the affair, and said: “I poorly handled the situation with a person who was in contact many times with me.”

The Pope, who accepted the Archbishop’s resignation, said “it was a failing on his part, a failing against the sixth commandment, but not a total one.”

The sixth commandment says “you shall not commit adultery”, which applies to people having sex outside of their marriages but the Pope suggested it could apply to priests who don’t stay celibate.

During the flight, the Pope said he removed the Archbishop due to “gossip”.

“We’re all sinners. When the gossip grows and grows and removes someone’s good name, he cannot govern,” he said.

“This is an injustice. That’s why I accepted the resignation of Aupetit: not on the altar of truth but on the altar of hypocrisy.”

During his visit to Greece, the Pope encouraged young people not be to tempted by the consumerist “sirens” of today.

He explained: “Today’s sirens want to charm you with seductive and insistent messages that focus on easy gains, the false needs of consumerism, the cult of physical wellness, of entertainment at all costs,” he said. “All these are like fireworks: they flare up for a moment, but then turn to smoke in the air.”

“We are very grateful for everything he has done to develop our club forward and wish him well for the future.”

Kraft played 124 games with Lions and won 83, lost 16 and shared the spoils in 25.

Lions scored 266 goals in the process and conceded 115 goals.
