Critical Facts Checkers

 

Claim: The president of Ghana, Nana Addo Danquah Akufo-Addo has a transportable chair. 

  Source: Ghanaweb 

  Rating: TRUE 

  Does the president truly have a transportable chair?

 Nana Addo and his presidential seat have been  trending in recent times. The president has been seen with his seat in some viral photos on more than one occasion this has raised some questions by social media users. So we at critical fact checkers are here to analyze and provide clarity on the matter. 

Source of claim 

A report from BBC also confirmed that there is a special (v8)Vehicle which transports the special chair from the presidents office on his official duties. We also found out that the said special chair is a regular chair that can be found in the presidents office. 

Conclusion

It is not withstanding that every president that has ever governed Ghana has his special chair for official duties. The issue of the president is not different from that which we have in the traditional setting. 

Their chairs are a symbol of their power, but in this die hard economy allocating one vehicle to a single chair is a problem. So in conclusion it is true that the president has a particular chair he takes on official duties. 

Our ratings 

True: It true that he has a chair and also a specific car for transporting  it on his official duties.

False: It is false that he takes it to every event. 

Blend: There is accurate and inaccurate content .The accurate fact is that he does have a special chair that is transported by a (v8) vehicle and the inaccurate is that he takes it to every event. 

Inflated: It was exaggerated that he takes the chair everywhere.

And about the Ghanaian Culture .

Culture is the unique tradition , morals, worldviews , academic creative expression and language of a civilization or a group of people. These principles and ideas serve as the cornerstone of customary actions and practices and are transmitted from generations to generations.

Oral history has it that , a great Queen of the Ashantis  ( ABREWA TUTUWAA ) was sick and the only way to get her healed was through getting a life ANTELOPE from the wild to pacify the gods and make her well again as revealed by the chief priest . This brought about the ADOWA DANCE.

 Alcohol can increase levels of estrogen  and other hormones associated with breast cancer 🎀. That's why it is adviceable to stay away for a healthier life.

  Again , mind you ,alcohol is not your friend at all as research  says that alcohol users are more likely  to have increased amount  of folic acid in their system which  can lead to increased cancer risk.

Online Shopping Brouhaha

 Would this ever stop?

Shopping online is the act of buying goods or services over the Internet.  With online shopping, consumers can find and purchased items they need without ever leaving the house.

Buying online is one thing and getting the item that you really ordered for is another. These days, buying online has become something normal.  Most people love to order almost everything online including basic things like food. 

However,  observations made suggests that most of these people don't always get the very items that they order for, hence the term "What I Ordered Vs. What I Got", to make comparisons on the items received and the ones ordered.

With all these, buying online is not all that a bad idea because there are others that do receive the actual items that they order for. 

So it's up to you to be more vigilant when buying online.

That will be all for today,  so till we meet again...

 The rate at which people are purchasing pica rice pudding than to preparing our local rice water at home is really amazing.

Instead of going for our local rice water I would prefer the pica rice pudding because it already prepared and mixed for quick consumption.

Assignment 10- Ruth Akua Maanu Annoh

 Using a fufu machine over the normal way of pounding with a pistil and a mortar.

I will definitely prefer the fufu machine because it is fast, and also saves time and energy. Your fufu will be ready in less than 10minutes.
