Registration of Ghana Card begins today

The nationwide registration for the National Identity Card (Ghana card) begins today May 28, 2018.

Head of training at National Identification Authority (NIA), Abdul Ganiu, who disclosed this on Adom FM’s Morning Show “Dwaso Nsem” Monday said the Ghana Card, will replace sectoral identity cards in circulation.

He said it will become the only card to be used in transactions where identification is required as provided by law.

The National ID card is to help formalize the Ghanaian economy through the establishment of a credible national database.

The project, which started under the Mahama government, was re-launched by President Akufo-Addo in September 2017 and new registrations will be carried out through out the country.

NIA had targeted to complete the first phase of the registration exercise by October 15, 2017 but it failed to do so, following delays in amending portions of the bill backing the project.

Mr Ganiu indicated that registration is starting from the Greater Accra region on May 28 and that the NIA expects to register all Ghanaian citizens in Ghana within one year.

From Greater Accra, the registration team will move to the Volta Region followed by Northern, Upper East, Upper West, Brong Ahafo, Western, Ashanti, Eastern and Central regions.

Documents such as driving licences, National Health Insurance cards, and baptismal certificates and voters identity cards are no longer tenable as sources of identification for the Ghana Card.

Only birth certificates and passports, he noted, will be used as identification for the acquisition of the card, as provided for by the National Identification Amendment Law 2017 (Act 950).

Abdul Ganiu said the National Identification Authority has recruited and trained 2,700 commissioners of oath to operate alongside the staff of the NIA during the registration for the Ghana Card.

Ghana Ranks 1st in World Manhood Ranking

A graph revealing the average size of a man’s erect penis from all over the world has surfaced online and Africa is topping the list. Ghanaian men have the world’s largest penises, while Nigerian ranks 5th according to the latest ranking. South African men are ranked at number 10. It appears countries such as Asian countries such as India, Thailand and South Korea are not as gifted in terms of ‘eggplant’ as they are sitting at the bottom of the table. Nigeria is in the top five with Gabon, Jamaica, and Haiti. Target Map published a graph showing the differing lengths of a male’s manhood size across the World and Africa, Western Africa particular, takes the top spot. Target Map created the colour-coded interactive infographic which shows the different sizes of men’s manhood depending on where they’re from. The African countries have the largest manhoods while erect, while orange comes second, yellow is in middle, light green is the smallest and green is the smallest. ...

Mauritania court gives toughest sentence for slave owners

Two slave owners in Mauritania have been jailed in a country where slavery remains widespread but convictions rare, activists say. The sentences of 10 and 20 years are said to be the toughest-ever for the crime in the West African country. Slavery was outlawed in 1981 but 1% of the population are still living in bondage, human rights groups say. Black people of certain ethnic groups are often enslaved as domestic workers by lighter-skinned Mauritanians. The country has jailed more anti-slavery activists than slave owners, rights groups say. The court in the north-western town of Nouadhibou gave a 20-year prison sentence to Hamoudi Ould Saleck. His father – who died before the trial ended – received the same sentence posthumously. Both were accused of “reducing to slavery” a family, two of whom were children. A woman, Revea Mint Mohamed, was jailed for 10 years for keeping three slaves – one of whom was a 29-year-old who had been kept since she was a small girl. Both cases had...
