An influential northern caucus is secretly meeting and grooming him to contest the man who will select him as a vice presidential candidate. A meeting between the first lady and the Brong-Ahafo caucus results in, perhaps, the fastest ministerial reshuffle in the history of the country. At 2a.m., before the breaking of a major scandal, there is a meeting between the president’s friend and the investigative journalist about how to involve the main opposition leader, in the story to minimise its damage to the president in the upcoming election. The wife of the president reports the wife of the vice president to the vice president’s mother. The night before a crucial election, the president and his main contender are locked up in a meeting with Ghana’s most revered traditional ruler.
These and other revealing accounts on governance, policies and programmes of the fourth presidency of Ghana’s Fourth Republic are the intriguing contents of this book. Here, the journalist whose investigations are believed to have contributed to the downfall of the administration gets brutally intimate with the regime.
Rare interviews with key figures of the governing party and historical contexts to contemporary events provide readers and students of African politics the inside story of what is considered the model democracy on the continent. The fluidity of the writing style and humour make this book about politics and governance in Ghana’s Fourth Republic both informative, educative and entertaining.

Women Marrying Women in Northern Ghana: Wading into the Homosexuality Debate from a Ghanaian Perspective
When the late Zimbabwean president, Robert Mugabe, vehemently insisted that homosexuality is un-African, many scholars and commenters from around the world disagreed with him and went on to cite many cultural practices in certain African societies signifying the presence or traces of homosexual activities in African societies. Among many of these cultural practices often cited is the practice of women marrying women as evidence of female homosexual traits and, therefore evidence of homosexuality embedded in certain cultures in Africa.
The Frafras of the Upper East Region of Ghana are a prominent ethnic group that practice this cultural arrangement. Delving into the the practice from the Frafra context, the books documents the practice of women to women marriage and its relationship or otherwise with homosexuality, with an explanation for the strong resistance of Ghana to homosexuality

Who am I? Exploring the Concepts of Gender and Identity from the Frafra Perspective
In a world where many seem unsure of who they are, the concepts of gender and identity are prime for discussion. Yet through my years of study of the subject of identity, I have come to realise the definition of identity is so vague it can pass for whatever you wish it to be. If anything, it has become more difficult for people to define themselves, making it look as though the customary (re)sources for and of identity formation are no longer as direct or straightforward as before, particularly in the face of globalisation and modernisation, or identity has become self mutating. So, I ask, how can we easily describe who we are and more importantly, how can we defend that understanding?
Perhaps a cultural perspective to the concepts could offer more insights. In this book, I adopt a culturally contextual framework of description to gender and identity as it relates to the Frafras of Northern Ghana.

Emigrant
The unquenchable desire of every young Ghanaian man is to have regular delicious sex and to get a visa to a European or North American country. He would pray fervently to God so long as He owes him his wants. But if enemy spirits, like a dictatorial father, deny him the chance to leave Ghana, he would stay, fleece the country, have more sex, and watch European football. For these desires, he’d make a fetish of the church or the mosque. Joseph Adenera Akolgo was one such young man.

60 Second LifeClass: Become as you Think!
Available on 14th October, 2024
Why this book?
In today’s fast paced world, there can be a tendency to neglect one of the most important aspects of our lives; making time to think and shape our mindsets. This book is a practical mindset-change tool, one in the Mindset Revolution [MR] mini-series. It is targeted at anyone who desires to live their best life through conscious thinking. In here you will find fifty life lessons, one for each week of the year with a two-week break of your choice. The lessons deal with the following themes; fear, love, forgiveness, belief, law of sowing and reaping of thoughts and the power in declaring ‘I Am’. The lessons are short and to the point but their effects are long-lasting and enduring.Why LifeClass?
To be successful in any profession, we accept that you must receive the requisite training. Typically, the more technically challenging the profession, the more the number of years training one needs to receive. Somehow, we neglect the greatest profession of all which is Life. This has resulted in most of us existing instead of living. We operate as though our lives are happening to us rather than responding to us.Why 60 second?
We now live in a world of busyness and this I believe is the ploy by which the ego keeps us from true fulfilment. Whilst this needs to change, it is unrealistic to expect that change to happen overnight. This mini-manual is meant to ensure that in spite of the busyness, we will be able to ‘fit’ in daily ‘snacks of conscious thinking’. It is my sincere belief that the addiction to these snacks will soon inspire you to have full ‘meals of conscious thinking’.₵150.00 -
