Host of Good Evening Ghana, Paul Adom-Otchere, has questioned the relevance of the newly launched United Party (UP Plus), arguing that the political alternative it claims to represent already exists in the form of Ghana’s two dominant parties—the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC). Speaking on The Big Issue on Channel One TV on Saturday, October 18, Adom-Otchere said the Ghanaian electorate already views the NPP and NDC as the main contenders for political power, and any new party seeking to present itself as a viable third option must overcome deeply rooted political loyalties and established…

Legal practitioner Martin Kpebu has expressed mixed feelings about the removal of former Chief Justice Gertrude Torkonoo, stating that while he agrees with the grounds for her removal, President John Dramani Mahama’s failure to give reasons for the decision weakens the credibility of the process. “The fact that the removal is correct does not mean everything is correct. The fact that we support her removal does not mean we support everything willingly. I support the grounds for her removal. I support the failure to give her reasons for the removal is wrong,” he said during an interview on TV3. His…

As discussions around Daddy Lumba’s marital controversy continue, counsellor Frank Adem Adofoli has stepped in with a practical take on what often drives marriages to collapse. According to him, many relationships fail not because of money problems, but due to emotional neglect and infidelity. Adofoli explained that when some men become financially successful, they tend to forget the sacrifices their wives made during the difficult years. Instead of showing gratitude, they seek affection elsewhere, leaving their partners feeling unappreciated and unwanted. “If a wife asks for divorce, it’s often because she feels no longer needed or valued,” he said. He…

The recent controversy surrounding highlife legend Daddy Lumba’s marriage has sparked nationwide discussions on the dynamics of relationships, love, and respect in marriage. Ghanaian counsellor Frank Adem Adofoli has weighed in, offering a timely reminder of the importance of discipline, loyalty, and honour within unions. According to Adofoli, modern society often holds distorted views of marriage, wrongly suggesting that women contribute little beyond managing household matters and are primarily motivated by financial gain.
