DUAMPOMPOM, GHANA —Commuters on the bustling Accra-Kumasi highway faced significant delays today after a low-bed truck carrying a large excavator broke down at Duampompom, near the Anum Apapam junction. The incident, which occurred early this morning, caused a massive traffic jam, stretching for several kilometers in both directions. According to eyewitnesses, the truck suffered a mechanical failure, rendering it immobile and blocking a significant portion of the road. With the large excavator on board, the vehicle created a major obstacle, making it difficult for other motorists to navigate the already busy highway. Police and officials from the Ghana Highway Authority were quickly dispatched to the scene to manage the traffic flow and work on removing the broken-down vehicle. They have been directing traffic and are attempting to clear the road to restore normal traffic flow. However, the sheer size and weight of the truck and its cargo have made the operation challenging. Motorists ...

Lionel Messi tells Barcelona he wants to leave

-

 Six-time Ballon d’Or winner, Lionel Messi, has dropped a massive bombshell, reportedly telling Barcelona that he wants to leave the club and terminate his contract.


Messi, 33, has spent his entire professional career with Barcelona, scoring over 600 goals and winning 10 league titles and four Champions Leagues.


However, in the past couple of seasons cracks have started to appear in the relationship between Messi and the club, following high-profile exits in the Champions League. Messi had become more outspoken than ever, willing to criticise senior club figures as well as his own team-mates.


He reportedly was considering his future but manager Quique Setien was fired and his successor Ronald Koeman was announced. Koeman and Messi reportedly spoke on the phone where the new manager told him that the team has to come first and there can be no preferential treatment. Messi reportedly told Koeman on that occasion that he saw his future away from Barcelona.


 


Messi has now firmly decided that he wants to leave the club and has reportedly informed them of his decision via fax. It is a burofax which is a letter that has to be signed for which informs the sender that the recipient got the letter. The news, reported by several outlets in Spain and Argentina, comes shortly after it was reported that Koeman and Barcelona have told Messi’s close friend Luis Suarez that he will have his contract torn up by the club.


Messi reportedly wants to invoke a clause in his contract that allows him to leave unilaterally this summer. The clause was believed to have expired in June but could be extended due to the prolongation of the season due to the coronavirus pandemic.


Reports in Spain are now suggesting that the Barcelona board are having an emergency meeting following this development.


WHERE COULD MESSI GO?

Given Messi’s astronomical wages there aren’t many clubs who could afford to sign him.


Manchester City, managed by Messi’s former boss Pep Guardiola, are one of the options whilst recent reports have suggested local rivals Manchester United are also interested.


Serie A side Inter Milan have a long-held interest in signing Messi and might be players whilst PSG are a logical destination as a team who could certainly afford to sign him.

THE PEOPLE OF KUSAUG STAND UNITED AGAINST DIVISIVE RHETORIC AND DECEPTION

-
Image
Recent remarks made by Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, also known as Napo, running mate to Alhaji Mahamud Bawumia, represent a clear and dangerous attempt to sow discord within Kusaug. In a viral video, Napo falsely accuses H.E. John Dramani Mahama of plotting to divide the Kusasi and Mamprusi people, along with other tribes, should he return to office. These baseless claims are not only deceptive and irresponsible, but they also have the potential to inflame tensions and destabilize the peace we are striving to maintain in the area. Such reckless rhetoric must be unequivocally condemned. The people of Kusaug have closely followed the commitments of various political leaders regarding our area’s future. At no point has John Dramani Mahama ever sought to divide the Kusasi and Mamprusi people. During his visit to the Zugraan Bawku Naaba’s palace, Mahama responded to a request by the chiefs and people of Kusaug by highlighting the potential creation of a Kusaug Region. He described it as a via...
