Author:-Mahmoud...
The president has been saying that he tried to introduce electronic payment and acquisition systems into the public sector {to reduce human contact with cash} in his effort to fighting corruption, but lamented that the systems were often resisted.

This has become so monotonous that Ghanaians are beginning to wonder whether the president is actually serious and interested in fighting corruption as he claims, or it's just another crocodile's tears to deceive Ghanaians into believing that he is making an effort, while the government and its cronies amass billions of dollars at the expense of this struggling HIPC nation.
Why should Ghanaians hire a president that can't even introduce an electronic system successfully into the public sector to save us from criminals masquerading as civil servants? Mr. Mahama must be seen to be fighting corruption with all his might rather than go on lamenting helplessly like the rest of us who hired him to do the job.

If she was hungry, Light-headedness obviously caused her to become disoriented, possibly losing her balance.

Sooner or later, someone will come on here and blame the witches from her family. Let'a wait and see.

Africa!!!!!!!!!! When shall we learn. People go to school to learn but what you hear these days are prayer groups and the like as if Einstein had to fast in order to propound theories and the like. It is more surprising when students in tertiary institutions are the worst. No wonder they come out of college to form unemployed graduates associations. They just can't think outside the "box". The mantra is "leave it with God an shall be done". It is pathetic. The christian brothers/sisters will be consoling themselves with the words "she lived and died in Christ". Who is the loser here, the poor old single parent, probably

This story is very incomplete. How did she fall? Was she alone when she fell? Did she complain of any dizziness during the day? If it was after a day fast what time of the day did she fall cos u do not get dizzy cos u fast for a day. I fast three days no food or water and never felt dizzy, yes we are all not the same but come on. Ghanaian journalists should try harder and do a better work, sounds as if u basing her fall on the fact that she's a christian who FASTED.

The book of Ecclestiasis says that there's a time and place for everything. Considering this factor, why will there be a fasting held in a school sector? If only that was the place the congregation meets then different case. However, school is a place to learn not prayer. Don't misquote me, as a believer, you can pray anywhere you are but what kind of prayer is it? Are you forgetting that the Messiah himself, prayed privately before his crucifixion? Did he fast? What does this tell us Christians? There are dynamics behind the concept of prayer. And the bible itself has reveled it but Man never understands. God should grant us all understanding. And RIP Miss as it's unfortunate. I pray the lord receives you in Abraham's bosom.

Such a beautiful girl. What I want to know is who regulates the opening of these ' mushroom' universities all over the place; what health and safety standards prevail; and who carries out regular inspections? With a clown like Okudjeto Ablakwa in charge of tertiary education but making political statements on anything but his portfolio, it's no wonder students are literally dying in these universities. May she rest in peace!!!

Benedicta, may the Lord keep you in His good rest. We are saddened to hear about your untimely departure but are consoled that you knew and sought after your God. In a short life you achieved through your knowledge of your God and His Christ what could elude someone who lives to be a hundred: "What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul."
May your family be consoled by the knowledge of your love and quest for God. Those of us who know and love God will give thanks to Him in everything. While your passing looks accidental to us, it is not so to God who foreknew it. That's why we must always thank Our Holy, Omnipotent, Omniscient, God All-Wise.
