SHS Female Student Gives Birth In Girls' Dormitory

A form two student of the Saint Ignatius Loyola SHS (LASSEC) in the Wa West District of the Upper West Region has shockingly given birth to a baby boy inside the girl’s yard.

The School in questions is also known as Lassia Tuolo SHS.  

This was during prayer hours before preps. This amazing real life story occurred between 7-8pm Monday 8th June 2015.

According to information gathered after the incidence, the teenage girl (name withheld for privacy sake) returned from home just a few days before the sudden occurrence.

Surprisingly, not even her parents, colleague’s nor staff member was able to determine she was pregnant all this while due to her plump nature.

Situational analysis by some students and staff have arrived that even the now mother was not aware she was pregnant.

Parents, guardians and school authorities are thus reminded to be watchful and vigilant especially with matters concerning the female child in school.

Two Ghanaians Named In Forbes Africa 30 Under 30 Tomorrow’s Billionaires List

Forbes Africa magazine dedicated their June’s edition to the youth in Africa making major strides in
 their various fields and impacting their societies positively. Chris Bishop, Managing Editor of Forbes 
Africa said that in a interview that the June 2015 issue makes history with its first ever homegrown 30
 under 30 list. That is the young and gifted, burning stars on the horizon; the billionaires of tomorrow 
who will create the jobs and wealth that this continent needs. The list was heavily dominated by East
 and South Africans but two Ghanaians namely Sangu Delle and Raindolf Owusu were named amongst 
the pack. The question swelling your mind by now is who are these young men and how did they land 
on the list.


I first heard of Sangu Delle when he was named a Ted 2014 Global fellow. Sangu Delle is entrepreneur 
and investor who founded Golden Palm Investments to fund promising start-ups and build world-class 
businesses in Africa. Raindolf Owusu on the other hand was in 2013 awarded the Ideas awards by 
Albert and Comfort Ocran’s Legacy and Legacy in 2013 for championing a cause that they need not have 
pursued, but which ultimately proved beneficial to the wider society.Raindolf Owusu is a software engineer
 and founder of Oasis Websoft a technology solutions company based in Accra. He was recently named
 a Mandela Washington fellow by the US Embassy which gives him an all access pass to meet President 
Barack Obama in Washington later this year. These are two great Ghanaians worth celebrating for
 championing a great course to put Ghana on the map. See below their profiles I gathered online.


RAINDOLF OWUSU: Raindolf Owusu is a Ghanaian born Entrepreneur and Software Developer
 with a proven track record of successful projects. He is also the Founder and CEO of Oasis Websoft. 
A Ghanaian based technology startup. He is a strong advocate for Free and open-source software
 (FOSS) and this led him to be awarded by the Free software and Open Source foundation for Africa 
(FOSSFA) as a Guido Sohne fellow in recognition of his continuous use and support for open source 
technologies in March 2012. His software projects include deploying Africa’s first web browser called
 Anansi web Browser, Anansi Calcpad and Dr Diabetes a simple web application that allows uses 
a predictive model


to give you an idea about your status online. Anansipedia an educative platform that allows the
 seamless sharing of educational resources to help less privileged students in environments 
with little Information Technology infrastructure to have ubiquitous access to better quality academic
 content. Information is power and we believe in sharing the banquet of knowledge with the world. 
When Ebola hit the West African continent last year, he came together with other change makers 
and key holders to develop and deploy Ebola Ghana Alert. 

The aim of the Ebola Alert Ghana initiative
 is to provide people in Ghana and beyond with a reliable and easy-to-use application for the tracking,
 training and disseminating of information to the general public about the Ebola virus. His most recent 
project is called Bisa which means ask in twi. Bisa is a mobile application that allows users to ask 
doctors doctors questions, guidelines, information and tips for managing their health. Users can
 also send a clear snapshot of the area they’re concerned about and medical professionals will


review and respond to their query with a short report. His company Oasis Websoft provides
 IT solutions for businesses , nonprofits and individuals. Their specialization is big data / server 
technologies , 
Software as a service, innovation and high end mobile technologies. His company organizes
 IT training programs to train the next generation of software developers.


He was won many awards and accolades from Ghana and beyond. He was dubbed the
 “Mark Zuckerburg” of Accra by Forbes Africa magazine in 2012. In August 2013, he was
 honored as one of the three award recipients of Ideas Awards 2013 by Legacy and Legacy.
 The US Embassy named him a 2015 Mandela Washington Fellow in June which will allow 
him to meet President Barack Obama in August and also study for short course in the USA.


He believes technology is powerful tool to boost economic growth , poverty reduction and
solve most of Africa's problems. He writes about technology during his leisure time. 
He has written for the worldpolicy.org in USA , iAfrikan.com in South Africa and General
 Telegraph news paper in Ghana.

SANGU DELLE: Born in Ghana, Sangu’s childhood home was a refuge for victims of
 torture and violence from neighboring Liberia and Sierra Leone. Sangu was fortunate
 to have been awarded a full merit scholarship to attend the Peddie School, a boarding
 school in New Jersey. He then went on to Harvard University, where he was inspired to 
pursue social and economic entrepreneurship. Sangu graduated from Harvard with highest
 honors in African Studies and Economics, where he was awarded the Thomas Hoopes Prize, 
the Reverend Peter Gomes Prize, the Philippe Wamba Prize, the Deshaun Hill & Harvard 
Stephens and the Maurice Sedwell Prize among others.


At Harvard, enrolling in the Social Engagement Initiative program that bridged the academic
 study and practical service gap, Sangu co-founded cleanacwa (formerly the African Development
 Initiative), which embarked on a five-year project to bring sanitation and clean water to Agyementi, 
a village in Ghana. Today cleanacwa is working in underdeveloped regions to make sure that water
 and sanitation, basic human rights, are provided. Starting in Ghana, Sangu and his team have
 rallied academics, non-profits, businesses, and local government to help find and spread effective
 solutions for water and sanitation access. Cleanacwa is currently working to bring clean water and
 sanitation to over 60,000 people in 120 villages in the Ayensuano and Suhum districts in Ghana.


Sangu has previously worked at Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and Valiant Capital Partners. 
Convinced that the real needs of communities can best be met through entrepreneurship,
 in 2008 he founded an investment holding company, Golden Palm Investments (GPI) to fund 
promising start-ups that can have social impact and generate jobs. GPI has backed startups
 such as SOLO Mobile in Nigeria, mPharma in Ghana and Zamsolar in Zambia. Sangu serves
 as the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of GPI.


When he’s not working on wells in Suhum or meeting startups in Nairobi, Sangu works on his coursework. 
He is a current Soros Fellow pursuing a dual Juris Doctor of Law and MBA at Harvard Law
 School and Harvard Business School. Sangu loves the outdoors and trekked Mount Everest in 
2013 and is currently training to summit Kilimanjaro during the summer of 2015.

The Member of Parliament for Ahafo –Ano North constituency, Akwasi Adusei has donated Mathematical Instruments and Pens to all BECE candidates in his district ahead of the exams which begin Monday, June 15.

He says providing the mathematical instruments and pens will help prevent candidates turning to ask for instruments which could be recorded as exams malpractice. He added that the leaders of the district do not want their name to be included in the Districts that engage in examination malpractice and as such providing the items is a priority.

When asked by the media why the branded Mathematical Instruments have his image on them, Hon. Adusei Stated that it is to help the candidates know their MP and the leadership of the district, to recognize him when they meet them doing something good or bad and also to serve as role models for most of the pupils but not for political expediency.

He challenged the students to study hard in order to excel in the upcoming exams. He promised the best student in the district a full scholarship to study at the next level of education just like last year’s best student who is studying Science at Opoku Ware School.

VIDEO: Woman 73 Looks 30- Check out Her Secrets To Youthful Life

Annette Larkins has 73 years and looks like she is in her late 30s. 

She is incredibly vital and healthy lady, she has a perfectly clean skin

 and a body figure that all dream of.

Annette never drank any chemical drug. She treats all ailments exclusively 

naturally, she has a large selection of herbs that she knows how to properly use, 

and fruits and vegetables that she grows herself.

Every morning she wakes up beside her longtime husband who looks as

 if he is her grandfather, and her sons who are 40, look like her friends peers.

The reason for this is that no one in her family is persistent enough to

 follow her lifestyle.

The secret of Annette is that she has been a vegetarian for years, and

 she recently became a vegan. She believes that the elixir of youth is the vegan diet actually, rich in fresh squeezed juices and salads.

Her day starts at 5 am; after waking up, she works in her garden garden, 

sews clothes, prepare healthy meals, and in the leisure time, she writes a 

book and leads her YouTube channel with tips for a healthier life.

Who would say that this woman is 73-years old?
