Shulammite Ofori-Danso’s free starter vocational training is changing lives in Ghana

Despite many official efforts, the ILO projected young unemployment in Ghana at 13.7 percent in 2018. This, among other things, is a powerful motivator for Shulammite Ofori-Danso, a lively young entrepreneur, to begin spending her resources in training unemployed young females in order to provide them with readily accessible vocational skills to produce money. Seated between two of her trainees who will graduate this month, Shulammite, affectionately known as 'Lady Diamond' by her colleagues, describes how she was inspired to establish the Diamond Institute of Events and Weddings in order to train as many young people as possible into the event management and services sector. Lady Diamond claims that she has opened her school to people from all walks of life. "We provide free beginner instruction to...

NDC wrote to the Council of State over two new EC appointees

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has written to the Council of State, requesting that it reconsider its advice to the President on two of the three newly sworn-in members of Ghana's Electoral Commission (EC). The NDC presented evidence that Dr Peter Appiahene and Hajia Salima Ahmed Tijani had significant roots in the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and cannot guarantee Ghana's electoral administration body's neutrality and impartiality. “For any election to be accepted as credible, free, fair and transparent, every process must be accepted by key stakeholders, not least political...

The 2023 Apple Watch Series 9: What to Expect From Apple This Fall

Along with the iPhone, Apple has been updating the Apple Watch on a yearly basis, and it is one of the devices that we may expect to see this fall.Apple Watch speculations are frequently eclipsed by iPhone rumors, although we do get morsels of information here and there. This article compiles all of our knowledge regarding the Apple Watch Series 9. Iterative Improvements Apple's development resources in 2022 were focused on the Apple Watch Ultra, and we didn't see a flurry of new features for the basic Series 8. We predict the same general situation this year - Apple is working on future Apple Watch technologies for the largersized model, and reports say that the Series 9 will receive modest updates with few new capabilities for the time being. Processor Enhancements The S8 chip in the Apple Watch Series 8 is the same as the S7 chip in the Apple Watch Series 7, which performed similarly to the S6 chip in the Apple Watch Series 6. The Apple Watch processor hasn't seen any significant advancements in a few years, so we could see an updated S9 chip with minor performance enhancements. Bluetooth Apple adds Bluetooth 5.3 to the Apple Watch Ultra, and it could be expanded to the Series 9 in 2023. Apple has gradually updated its product assortment to include the most recent Bluetooth standard.

Nigeria authorizes malaria vaccinations following Ghana’s approval

Nigeria has authorized a new malaria vaccine created by Oxford University scientists. The announcement came just a few days after Ghana became the world's first government to approve the (R21) vaccine. Mojisola Adeyeye, the chairman of Nigeria's National Agency for Food and Drug Administration, stated that the vaccine would be used to combat malaria in children aged five months to three years, the most vulnerable group. Also read:50 Cent’s Relationship update About His Relationship The approval is rare in that it comes before the final stage trial data for the vaccine, which is expected to be 80% effective. Malaria is the leading cause of death in Nigeria. Every year, the disease kills around 6,000 individuals worldwide, many of them are youngsters in Sub-Saharan Africa.
