Chale, this is some fishy business.

Don't get hooked!

DEEP DIVE

So the Fisheries Enforcement Unit of the Ministry of Fisheries and Aquaculture Development have one golden rule: no fishing during the closed season.

Since July 1, both artisanal fishermen and industrial trawlers have been told to chill out and let the fish increase on all sides.

But Commodore Francis Ayiteyvi Nyarko and his squad, know that some people are like stubborn grass. So he said, “okay, me and my squad are on high alert. If we catch you, straight to the marine police, navy personnel, Ghana police and others.
Bottom line, he don’t care if you’re a big fisherman or small fisherman; there’s no slipping through the net.

So fisherfolk, keep it 100. Don’t go near the water.

PS: At lunch time, Asabea, the fufu joint owner will tell you the half piece of salmon in your light soup is GHS 100 and blame it on this story. But don’t gree for anybody.

Mahama vs Bawumia Debate? Mogtari says, nope!

Joyce Bawah Mogtari, spokesperson for John Mahama's campaign, has just thrown some serious shade on the idea of a pre-election debate between NDC's John Mahama and NPP's Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.

Despite the buzz from political analysts and stakeholders pushing for a head-to-head, Bawah Mogtari isn't having it.

“Look, the government's performance speaks volumes,” she said, “We don’t need a debate to prove what’s already crystal clear." A debate is just…unnecessary.”

Her stance? Why bother with a debate when Mahama's track record and skills are unmatched?

So, will we see a showdown? “Maybe” Mogtari says. But she’s sure that if it happens, Mahama’s gonna slay.

Ignore the noise: Trotro fares are not going up…

So, if you’ve heard whispers of your daily trotro ride costing more, chale relax – it’s all fake news.

Samuel Amoah, the Deputy National PRO of GPRTU says so! He also said fuel may have gone up but your trotro fare is at rest until the mother body puts it in upward motion.

So yeah, the price may go up, but not today. So don’t let them take chook your eye. Collect your exact change.
