Christmas is here! New year follows a week later; this is the moment for reflection towards a better 2026. If your income pauses today, what practical skill puts cash in your hand immediately? Smartphone repair & accessories is one of the few skills that still pays daily, even in hard times. Phones break every day. People fix them the same day, that's money changing hands fast. Many unemployed people, even those with jobs — are learning this skill quietly to support themselves, or gifting the book to train siblings, relatives, or community youths. Many are buying copies to empower others this season, instead of giving other gifts that finish. GET Chukky Oparandu’s guide - it breaks it down clearly for beginners: repairs, flashing, accessories sales — the skill opens doors into IT careers. No big capital. Just a skill you earn from once you apply it. If you’re planning ahead for 2026, this is one move people are already making. Rush now, Search “Chukky Oparandu” on Amazon or visit selar.co/m/chukky (French edition "Gagnez de l'Argent en Réparant des Téléphones & Tablettes" Available!). Don’t miss his blockbuster career guide:“IT Career: A Roadmap” ,4

No one should back 5 years term for the presidency. Imagine having Akoffo Addo for 5 years, two terms.

Presidential term is not our problem ,our political parties are not good enough.A good political party shd be able to identify someone with the same ideology to take over when one is stepping down.Africa's problems cannot be attributed to Presidential terms but rather bad leadership. How many of the countries in Africa whose Presidents have overstayed in power are doing well economically

No wonder Mahama said we have short memories. You must be ashamed to write such nonsense. Son of a brain dead idiot full of Gyimie.

CHEAP PRAISE SINGING LECTURER JUST LIKE GYAMPO
Leave these free loading hungry lecturers with their idiocy. All of them have now found the formula used by Professor “Mma to” Gyampo and are busily adopting same. How can a Law Lecturer just come out to voice support for such foolishness. You have all sorts of sick judgements and breaking of rules by the judiciary but so called professors in Law are quiet. Is this so important that you will come out swiftly off the block to voice out idiotic praises? All of you will one day vomit your hypocrisy and veiled ignorance and lack of intelligence. NKWASEAFUO NE NKWASEASEM !!!!!!!

The election is in December and if it does not go for a second round, it means we have one month before inauguration. The elected president can make nomination of ministers and other appointments within this period

The pre-election and post-election time spent by these politicians are nit wasted but for them to prepare how to recover the money they spent on their campaigns. Our colonial masters, United Kingdom, USA and other developed and democratic nations all practice four-year term for the presidency. For peace to prevail in our motherland, devoid of chaos and possibility of military intervention, that part of the constitution should be maintained. NDC founder JJ Rawlings ruled for 20 solid years continuously, but could not develop our country and it is the same political party advocating for a longer term for their president. Ghanaians should watch and pray.

Prof if the four years is too short for a president to effectively implement policies, five years will also be TOO SHORT. Let it be TEN years instead.

"Professor" Appiagyei-Atua, JJ ruled for over 19 years uninterrupted and tell me what he did? Give an African leader a hundred years and the best he will do is to have unrelenting sex then tell people that the 100 years is not enough.

The four years term is good enough for a wise leader to implement his policies to be renewed else, we should forget it. Remember John Mahama's presidency from 2012-16, and imagine he won the next four years, what exactly do you think Ghana would have been?

Those agitating for extending the four years to five years are just stomach directed fools, yes, that is the best description I have for them. We live in a world that behaves like the "Weather" unpredictable and who knows what comes tomorrow to be stuck under a leader who is clueless for five years?

For a professor, your argument for extended presidential term from 4 to 5 years is very shallow to say the least. If 4 years is too short, what makes 5 adequate. Why not 6 or even 10. If you think the president spends so much time appointing all those many people, perhaps a better suggestion is to change the constitution to limit the president's appointment powers to ministers and a small circle of advisors. This reduces nepotism (deployment of party foot soldiers) - good for the economy, and also frees time for the president.

Five year term to create, loot and share. If things are getting worse within the five years, it means the citizens must continue suffering throughout the five years. Four years is enough. Nothing more, nothing less. If you couldnt pull your weight, you are booted out like what we just saw. Ghanaians have now understood the political game.

Prof, if you give these 10-year presidential term, these our incompetent and corrupt leaders will end up destroying the country. Can you imagine giving someone like Akkufo-Addo 5-year term? If Akkufo-Addo had stayed on one more year, this country would have been destroyed completely. The 4-year term is more than enough for any serious and organized president to do something. It takes 4 years for the potential candidate to campaign, plan who to select as oficials and what policies to implement. So from the first day of assumption of power, such president should be able to know exactly what to do. Prof, you are wrong on this.

Nonsense. Rather than repealing the indemnity clause in our constitution, so that presidents like Akuffo Addo will be held accountable for the total collapse of our country during his tenure in office. I believe it should rather be three years term not five. If the administration cannot make head ways in four years, adding an additional year is not going to make any difference.
