Ford is not my taste, I prefer Toyota - Mahama

President John Mahama has again reacted to the Ford Expedition car gift saga indicating that “I don’t use Ford, I don’t like American cars, I use Japanese cars, Toyota is my car…”

Meanwhile he has also indicated that his outfit is awaiting an official letter from the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) and “appropriately, we’d respond to it.”
The president’s latest comment comes on the back of a similar response on Wednesday June 23 at Ashaiman during his ‘Accounting to the People Tour’. Addressing members of the Clergy on

Thursday morning at a breakfast meeting at the Flagstaff House, President Mahama said “recently there’s the issue of a Ford Expedition…, I’ve never been under the illusion that that vehicle was a gift to the state and it’s never been used for my personal comfort. “In any case I don’t use Ford, I don’t like American cars, I use Japanese cars, Toyota is my car but it’s a matter for the Commission on Human Rights. I hear there’s a petition there, appropriately we’d respond to it.”

President Mahama has come under criticism in the last few days over reports of a car gift given to him by a Burkinabe contractor who is purported to have given the vehicle to the president to gain contract favours. The presidency has refuted the allegations but some political parties including the leading New Patriotic Party have asked for a probe into the allegation. Some other institutions have petitioned CHRAJ to investigate the accusation leveled against the president

Mahama acquires pistol with 200 rounds of ammunition

President John Dramani Mahama appears to be jittery about his personal safety, in spite of the heavy security detail he has at his disposal 24 hours a day as he has requested for a pistol to protect himself.

The reason for the acquisition is not yet known but this may lead to the ordinary citizen also applying to own guns, especially when robbery attacks have been the order of the day in recent times, with even policemen dying in the line of duty from the hands of armed robbers.

Mr Mahama is said to have imported a pistol and subsequently applied for licence from the Arms and Ammunition Unit of the Police Criminal Investigations Department (CID).

This is evident in a letter written and signed by the deputy Interior Minister, James Agalga, and addressed to the Director of Police CID dated August 27, 2015.

In that letter headlined, ‘Permission to import and license a pistol,’ – a copy of which has been stumbled upon by DAILY GUIDE – Mr Agalga sought to approve the request by the president to enable him import and use the pistol.

“Permission is hereby granted to H.E John Dramani Mahama to import and license one pistol and two hundred (200) rounds of ammunition,” he stated.

The purpose, he noted, “is to request you to issue H.E John Dramani Mahama with a permit to import and license the items.”

The letter, which was copied to the Commissioner of the Customs Division of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) at its headquarters, the officer in-charge of the Customs Division (of the GRA) at the Kotoka International Airport, the Director of the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI), the National Security Coordinator and President Mahama himself, was supposed to expire on December 31, 2015. The reasons for importing a pistol for the president was not stated but the letter indicated that the permit was not transferable.

But Deputy Interior, James Agalga who signed the letter is not forthcoming with information.

When DAILY GUIDE called him yesterday for explanation, he declined to comment.

Instead, he sought to know why the paper was asking him the question as to whether or not he issued the permit.

Not even the explanation that the paper had stumbled on a letter to that effect could suffice as he still asked, “Why are you asking that question? Comment declined.”

Pressed further, he reacted with rage, asking rhetorically, “Do you want to put me under investigation? Do you want to put my office under investigation?” while noting with emphasis, “Whatever responses you want, you can’t get.”

It is not certain whether this state of insecurity compelled some of the security details of the president to use wild dogs during his recent tours in some parts of the country.

During some of those visits, some of the president’s close security guards who were seen in khaki uniforms rather than the regular uniforms used by the police and the military, were seen handling huge dogs, thereby raising questions as to what had necessitated the use of such wild dogs to protect the president.

However, sources told DAILY GUIDE last night that presidents are taken through security drills, including handling of weapons, but had not seen them owning any.

Algeria Blocks Facebook To Stop Exam Cheats

Facebook, Twitter and other social networks have been temporarily blocked in Algeria to try to stop cheats posting high school exam papers online.
Thousands of high school students are retaking part of their baccalaureate exams after details of earlier papers were shared on the internet, according to state media.

An official source quoted by the APS news agency said: “The cut in social media is directly related to the partial baccalaureate exams that are taking place on Sunday.

“This is to protect students from the publication of false papers for these exams.”
The country’s 3G mobile network also appeared to be disrupted on Sunday.

Emeka storms out of interview after questions on failed marriage

Controversial Nollywood actor and acting President of the Actors Guild of Nigerian, AGN, Emeka Ike, on Friday stormed out of an interview when asked about his marriage.

The interview on Television Continental, TVC, took an unexpected turn after the interviewer probed further into the crisis trailing the actor’s marriage.

On the show, Emeka was asked about the current status of his marriage with wife, Suzanne, with whom he has allegedly had a physical altercation and bitter divorce proceedings.

The interviewer said, ”At your home front currently, is everything fine?”

The actor responded, “I love my wife and she is my wife. Everything is fine, I just dropped off my mother-in-law before coming here for this interview.”

However, upon further probing by the presenter who asked if his wife was back with him, the Nollywood ‘bad boy’ in an amplified pitch, said “It is not your business.

“We are working things out and the thing is this, whatever it is, you keep working on things. You keep working things out. You are not going to give up on something you love.

“Now you have a gold chain on your neck and you are at Oshodi bus stop and you are driving and some guy puts his hand through your window to rip off that chain off your neck; the first thing your hand will do impulsively is to protect your neck.

“You need to protect your own so no man can walk into another man’s house and say I want to marry your wife, it’s not possible.”

The interviewer further pressed on, saying it was the business of the press on his marriage issues because he is a public figure but Ike went further to explain why he needed not to answer the question as he stormed out of the interview set.

DAILY POST recalls that the actor’s 12-year-old marriage had packed up after his wife, Suzanne, sought for the dissolution in court over alleged assault from her husband.

It would be recalled as well that just recently, popular singer, Omawumi had stormed out of an interview on Da Chat with HFTv when asked about her smoking and drinking habit.

President Robert Mugabe to Step down.

"I am on my way out," President Robert Mugabe told thousands of children attending celebrations to mark the Day of the African Child.

This is the first time that the President has publicly, clearly spoken about quitting politics instantly inflaming succession fires within his party, as the two main rival factions tear into each other. The factions are led by Mugabe’s wife, Grace who is behind the G-40 grouping fighting VP Emmerson Mnangagwa’s so called Lacoste Team.

Speaking at the celebrations held in Harare, Mugabe said he is on his way out and wants his successors to do a better job.

“Once upon a time, I was like you. But I am not like you anymore. I am on my way out,” he said.

“But when I look over my shoulder, I would want to see bold and courageous men. I want to look behind and say those coming will be better than me,” he was quoted by a local weekly newspaper.

Mugabe — the only leader Zimbabwe has known since independence 36 years ago — has used all manner of tactics to cling to power, including alleged violence against political opponents and electoral fraud.

A few weeks ago, Mugabe (92), declared he wanted to stay on while First Lady Grace Mugabe told the recent Zanu PF million-man-march that “he will rule from the National Heroes Acre”.

Constitutionally, Mugabe can run for one more term, which will end in 2022. But officially opening the 24th Children’s Parliament yesterday, the veteran ruler admitted his days were numbered.

“That is what we always fight to do. To be better than our parents, initially be like them but strive to be better.”

Meanwhile, children who spoke at the occasion painted horrifying images of what they go through in their daily lives, especially their rural counterparts. This was after Youth minister Patrick Zhuwao had told Mugabe that his government’s policies showed a deep commitment to addressing the needs of young people.

“The policies of our government are addressing the various needs of our children,” he said.

“Our youth must be given space to fight for Zimbabwe’s economic independence.” The government was called upon to take the Child Parliament seriously and not treat it like “a Christmas Day”.

“The government should do something to help children in the rural areas,” he said. “Some of them walk for as long as two hours to go to school. Children as young as Grade Zeros. They go to school without shoes in this cold,” lamented a child parliamentarian. A representative of children living with disabilities weighed in.

“The government has to do something to minimise the subjects of those children with disabilities. Focus should be put on practical subjects that can enable children who are disabled to become innovative because nobody is willing to employ them,” he said. Mugabe admitted that the scourge of rape was getting out of hand, threatening “inhuman treatment” to perpetrators.

“If it does not stop, we will be forced to use inhuman treatment to men who rape. It must stop and stop now,” Mugabe said. Another child lawmaker said grinding poverty was forcing children into early marriages.
