@BlayAckah Thx for the insights. U learn something new everyday.

The Supreme Court of Ghana has settled an interesting question which sometimes comes up in divorce cases. When for instance a wife sues for divorce and names “the other woman" whom she alleges to be having an affair with her husband in her petition, must that woman be joined to the case as a party? (works the other way round as well) The court answered: not always. Sometimes yes. This is the decision in the case of Vida Yeboah v Dr Stephen Yeboah & Mercy Agyeiwaa decided on 29th April 2026. In April 2019, Vida Yeboah filed for divorce against her husband, Dr Stephen Yeboah, at the High Court, Agona Swedru. The fact in support of her claim that the marriage had broken down beyond reconciliation was adultery, and she named one Mercy Agyeiwaa as the woman the husband was seeing. According to the petition, the husband had even moved Mercy from Kasoa into a new flat about twenty feet from the matrimonial home in Gomoa Oguaakrom. When Mercy got wind of the petition, she did not stay quiet. She applied to be joined as a party. Her position was interesting. That she was no side chick. She said she was already the husband's customary wife from 15th July 2012, two whole years before Vida and Stephen's 2014 ordinance wedding. She tendered photographs of the customary ceremony and named witnesses. She also said she had contributed her own money to the very properties Vida was asking the court to share equally. The High Court allowed her to join. The Court of Appeal threw her out, saying her presence would only "murky the waters". The Supreme Court has now restored her place and sent the matter back to the High Court for trial. The Supreme Court however cautioned that this judgment is no general invitation for every named "party" to walk into a divorce. In its own words, persons "commonly referred to in Ghana as 'side chicks' or 'side guys'" generally have no place as parties in a divorce. If the only thing such a person can offer is to admit having had something with someone else's spouse, the most they can ever be is a witness. It noted that Section 12 of the Matrimonial Causes Act 1971 uses "may", not "shall" and that joinder is at the discretion of the court, not automatic. What set Mercy apart is that she did not show up with just a denial. She brought two legal issues: a competing customary marriage which, if proved, would invalidate the very marriage Vida wanted dissolved; and a property claim in the assets Vida was asking the court to share equally. This the court reasoned made her presence necessary for the trial court to settle the matters in dispute.

@AsanteKotoko_SC WTF ?

Full time.

Hwɛ ne fɛ 🥰 The Royal Dancers of the Manhyia Palace captivated the audience with their elegance, precision, and energetic display of the Adowa dance during the Akwasidae celebration. Sei kutuu sei bam!

@luchogarcia14 @LFC He reminds me of yourself Luis. Organic, Silky exquisite and born to play ✌🏿

Wirtz, needed just time. Talent doesn’t disappear, it adjusts, learns, and eventually takes over. @LFC 3 v 1 NEW (67')

@OtiAdjei Darren is a very sensible chap always on point with hus submissions

He says it best about this narrative about afcon based on Sunday's events.

@OtiAdjei Well said

By the way, this narrative that last night somehow invalidates a wonderful Afcon and the growth of the competition is nonsense. The Euros didn't become a bad tournament when Figo walked off the pitch in 2000 and Portugal's players hounded match officials after an ET pen call.

@dizzee190 @Fentuo_ Well said bro

@Fentuo_ It’s the mediocrity and absence of competition in the current squad that makes a championship player feels untouchable in the current Black Stars squad. We’ve really lost it.

This is not a good look and you don’t need Jesus to tell you why…

@SaddickAdams Nice thread. Can u elaborate along the line where or when taxes are collected if any and by who?

I’m discussing rising prices of basic street food in Ghana, despite some farmers selling at cheaper prices. A coconut farmer and trader from Gomoa Afransi gave us a breakdown of the coconut business. Famers in Gomoa sell 100 pieces of coconut for GHC120. That means the farm gate price of one coconut is GH1.20 pesewas as at September 2025. Farmer makes GHS 3,600 for 3,000 pieces of coconuts. The distributors purchase 100 pieces for GHS120 then pay the pluckers, the carriers and load each truck with 3,000 pieces of coconuts. A truck driver from Gomoa to Accra for instance is paid GHS1,800. That cost is by their trade custom, borne by the distributors. The distributors therefore sell to the retailers for GHS 3.20 for a piece of coconut. That means a GHS2 addition to the farmgate price. A distributor makes GHS9,600 for the 3,000 pieces his operational cost inclusive. Then come retailers and the selling joints. Coconut is currently selling at between 7-10 cedis. The 3,000 pieces of coconut for 8 cedis a piece is 24,000. The difference between farmer income GHSS3,600 (for one truckload) and market seller GHS24,000 is GHS 20,400. Do The Maths.

@dkbghana Why are u writing on X in English instead of GA? Happy to write in Twi 4 u if u so desire

A kumasi international airport with WOEZOR boldly written at arrival. Will it sit well with Asantes? Simple yes or no. Thanks.

@SaddickAdams U can't compare UK to GH Nevertheless u seem oblivious to the current hardship in UK and what has been happening in the UK for the last 15 years

Bread & butter analysis of a layman Hourly minimum wage in UK £12. Price of 400g bread is averagely £1.5. Meaning the lowest earner in UK can buy 6 loaves from one hour of work. ONE HOUR DAILY minimum wage in Ghana was 18.15. Loaf of bread is average GHS 20. The lowest earner in Ghana cannot buy one loaf of bread from a whole day of work. It is not that life in these countries is easy but at least when you have a decent job work,you are able to afford basic necessities of life. Salary is important but unless it takes into account the cost of living vis a vis purchasing power.

@_owurakuampofo Best luck lad. One of the formidable defenders ever to play was also a Gariba for Kumasi Cornerstones and Asante Kotoko

FC Barcelona have signed 🇬🇭 Hafiz Gariba. The 18-year old defender was born in Ghana and was discovered in Teshie. The defender joined Marcet Soccer Academy in Spain two years ago and has been tracked by the La Liga side since. Gariba will feature for the Juvenil A side.

QUESTIONS FOR JOHN MAHAMA I have just read questions posed to me by former President Mahama. I would have thought he would be man enough to face me in a one-on-one debate for the Ghanaian public to assess our respective policies, achievements and visions. He should not hide behind these flimsy questions to avoid a debate. Come for a debate and I can ask the moderators to ask me these five flimsy questions. But I have many more substantive questions for him: 1. Can you name any broad-based social intervention policy that you implemented in Ghana as President? 2. Why did you run advertisements against free SHS? 3. If you think your economic management was so good how come we experienced more than four years of Dumsor under your government? 4.

Why was your government unable to deal with the problem of Ghost workers on government payroll? 35. During your period as president only 4% of Ghanaian adults had Tax Identification Numbers. Our government has increased it to 85%. Why were you unable to do similar? 36. Why was your government unable to digitalize the operations at the port to reduce corruption? 37. Why was your government unable to solve the problem of the lack of a functioning Ghana-wide property address system? 38. Why was your government not able to solve the problem of access to financial inclusion like we have? 39.

What specific measures did you implement to combat corruption during your tenure as president?

@QwaquQwaqu @SaddickAdams Well said Qwaqu 👏

@SaddickAdams Such disrespect! When will the black man learn! Just boycott the entire friendly and petition the GFA, Foreign Affairs ministry and US Embassy !

Ghana’s biggest football club Asante Kotoko were set to travel to the United States for a friendly with DC United. But only about 7 players of the entire team could secure visas. Now there’s an suggestion of drafting in players from other clubs with valid US visas to make up the numbers. I can’t make this up!

@AsanteKotoko_SC Good start lads ✌🏿

A winning start 😍

@GyapKay Thanks for educating the "youngsters" social media generation. Keep up the good work

Here are the faces behind the famous Kofi Kyinto beheading case at Sefwi Bekwai in the 1980’s. Afi or Affi was Kofi’s uncle. The story was made into a movie, titled ‘Kofi Nkrabea’. All four culprits were executed,that’s why you see the red-inked crosses on their foreheads.

@domynych Arguably the best musician 🇬🇭 of all time certainly top 3

There are great singers whose music are timeless and will continue to influence generations of listeners and artists. And there are pop culture musicians who songs trend within limiting space and get buried in the archives of superficial trends. Lumba is a serious timeless art!

@GyapKay Good music is never old and never dies

Her timing 🔥🔥 Borga highlife ankasaa, you can’t even refer to songs in that category as old, because how is this song(M’akoma Hō Toffee) THIRTY FOUR years old? Tie bass no!!

@GyapKay Hungry army😃

The banter on Tiktok is a permanent thing oo, with accounts created purposely to troll 🤣🤣. They say this one is: Nigerian Army vs. Ghana ‘Area Boys’ Using their own song to whip them. Enjoy 🤣🤣

@paakwesiarmah01 @GyapKay Go try give u

@OTBandoh @GyapKay I have zero connections there bro.

Borga highlife has a way of hitting you hard in a beautiful manner. This is Uncle Lee’s ‘Akwankwaa’

@GyapKay Pls post Akpeteshie by Lee
