Facebook user, Cofie Justice queries HE Nana Addo over a George Floyd's murder case

On the late hours of Monday 1st June,  2020, HE. Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo Addo took to his Facebook news feed to join the campaign against racism with respect to the cruel treatment given to Black Americans overseas. He considered the recent murder case which involved a Minneapolis Derek Chauvin choking George Floyd's neck until he suffocated and died. 
One Cofie Justice, a Facebook user commented and queried the president sighting a scenario with the Takoradi missing girls that we have had many terrible murder and kidnap cases in Ghana than this which we have not heard any justice been delivered for the deceased.


 If black people kill ourselves everyday and we can't deal with it, how do we deal with that of other countries? are we not being cruel to ourselves enough? is about time we become serious with ourselves first before any other person can take us serious. The fight against racism should be tackled within before we can move externally, seems like we're our own enemies. 


HE Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo Addo's statement; 

"Black people, the world over, are shocked and distraught by the killing of an unarmed black man, George Floyd, by a white police officer in the United States of America. It carried with it an all too painful familiarity, and an ugly reminder. It cannot be right that, in the 21st century, the United States, this great bastion of democracy, continues to grapple with the problem of systemic racism.
On behalf of the people of Ghana, I express my deep condolences to the family and loved ones of the late George Floyd.
We stand with our kith and kin in America in these difficult and trying times, and we hope that the unfortunate, tragic death of George Floyd will inspire a lasting change in how America confronts head on the problems of hate and racism."

Ghanaian nurse Ellen Asare mistakenly shares ‘raw’ video of herself meant for her boyfriend in school group

Image
A young pretty Ghanaian nurse known as Ellen Asare has mistakenly released a very raunchy video of herself meant for her boyfriend in her school group and its already causing wildfire on the internet. It’s not clear who leaked the video to other platforms and why anyone would like to disgrace someone they attended the same school with on a National level but I guess if Ellen didn’t record the video in the first place, there wouldn’t be any video to trend.     The Ghana Health Service and the Ministry of Health are yet to comment on the misconduct of the young nurse like they did with the nurse who shook her backside in her uniform.   Ellen Asare is likely to lose her license as a medical practitioner, lose her job, and might even lose her boyfriend for whom she recorded the video for in the first place. Due to the policies of this website, we cannot upload the video here but since it’s already trending, you will surely chance upon and watch it somewhere. Source: ghsplash
