Arbeloa: “The victory came from solidity and commitment”

Image
  Álvaro Arbeloa did not celebrate the win with grand gestures or sweeping statements. Instead, his words after the final whistle were measured, almost understated — a reflection of the values that have defined both his playing career and his work on the touchline. “The victory came from solidity and commitment,” he said, summing up not just a match, but a philosophy. From the first minute, Arbeloa’s team showed a clear sense of purpose. There was no rush to dominate possession for the sake of appearances, no unnecessary risks taken in dangerous areas. The structure was compact, the distances between lines carefully managed. Every player seemed to understand their role, prioritising collective balance over individual flair. It was a performance built on discipline — the kind that often goes unnoticed until it delivers results. Defensively, solidity was the foundation. The back line stayed organised, rarely allowing space between defenders, while the midfield worked tirelessly ...

Ghana has nothing to show for natural resources except huge borrowings – Togbe Afede

Image
The Agbogbomefia of the Asogli State, Togbe Afede XIV, has bemoaned Ghana’s inadequate infrastructural development despite its ballooning debt stock. He is concerned that although the country is heavily indebted, there is too little to show for the country’s borrowing. Addressing the gathering at the grand Durbar to climax the 2022 Asogli Yam Festival in Ho, Togbe Afede XIV, says, the economy of the country has been exposed by COVID-19 and the Russia-Ukraine war. “Our economic problems predate COVID-19 and the Russia-Ukraine war. We are lucky to have so much – 30 percent of all mineral resources in the world, so much of the world’s arable lands, yet we cultivate so little to the world’s output, and we remain poor, and the worst part is that, we are so much indebted.” He says the huge sums of money Ghana has accessed have not translated into the needed infrastructural development Ghanaians deserve. “More worrying is the fact that, with a lot of debt, we cannot tell what that has done fo...

GSS :About 8 million people in Ghana are illiterate

Image
  Findings from an upcoming report from the Ghana Statistical Service (GSS) have revealed that 7.9 million persons aged 6 years and older in Ghana are illiterate, i.e. they cannot read and write with understanding. This figure is broken down into 4.6 million illiterate females and 3.3 million illiterate males, indicating a female disadvantage that has been persistent over time. The report also finds that between the 2010 and 2021 Population and Housing Censuses (PHC), 1.2 million more illiterate adults (15 years and older) were added to the population – from 4.3 million in 2010 to 5.5 million in 2021. Ghana has lower levels of adult literacy compared to its comparators (lower middle income and sub-Saharan African countries), after three years of the provisions on illiteracy captured in the Education Strategic Plan (ESP) 2018-2030. This has necessitated the production of the 2021 PHC Thematic Report Brief on Illiteracy in Ghana, which will be released later this month, according to ...

Kylian Mbappe downplays Neymar feud, labelling Brazilian hot and cold

Image
Paris Saint-Germain begin Champions League campaign against Juventus but start of competition marred by reports of feud between Neymar and Kylian Mbappe, who has been dragged into Paul and Mathias Pogba's public falling out Kylian Mbappe has played down reports of a feud between himself and Paris Saint-Germain team-mate Neymar. The forwards clashed in August's win over Montpellier when Neymar prevented Mbappe, who had seen an earlier penalty saved, from taking another spot-kick, ignoring the order of penalty takers assigned by boss Christophe Galtier. Sergio Ramos reportedly had to separate the two feuding stars in the dressing room after the match and Neymar's liking of posts on social media poking fun at Mbappe's missed penalty have only fanned speculation of unrest. But, speaking ahead of PSG's Champions League Group H clash with Juventus, Mbappe revealed that while there were ups and downs in his relationship with Neymar there was still the utmost of respec...
