Drop Andre Ayew from Black Stars to make way for young players – Osei Kuffour

Ghana News, Sports

Ex-Ghana midfielder Emmanuel Osei Kuffour believes it’s time for Andre Ayew to be dropped from the Black Stars to make way for other young, talented players. According to him, Ayew has run his race with the national time and must now take a back seat for other players to shine. The former Hearts of Oak man was, however, quick to add that Andre’s younger brother, Jordan Ayew, still has a lot to offer the Black Stars. “Andre Ayew is done with the Black Stars and should be shown the exit in order to open doors for emerging talents like Kudus Mohammed,” Kuffour told Onua Sports, as quoted by 3news.“Dede Ayew has been with the Black Stars since 2008, and it’s time to leave.

Neville: Klopp sent Man Utd and Newcastle a message: ‘He’s coming for you!’

Sports, World News

Gary Neville believes Newcastle and Manchester United will be sweating over Liverpool's late-season resurgence in the race for Champions League qualification. Curtis Jones' double pushed Leicester to the brink of relegation as the Merseysiders cruised to a 3-0 win at the King Power Stadium - two years to the day since the Foxes' FA Cup triumph. The midfielder's first-half brace and Trent Alexander-Arnold's stunner eased the visitors to victory as the hosts capitulated to leave them staring at the drop. That it came on the anniversary of their first ever FA Cup win underlined the 2016 Premier League champions' fall from grace - but Liverpool moved to within a point of Manchester United as their late charge for the top four continued. Jurgen Klopp celebrated wildly with his t...

Ghana school students talk about their social media addiction, and how it affects their use of English

Ghana News, Lifestyle & Social, Science & Technology

Social media networks such as Facebook, WhatsApp, Telegram, YouTube and Instagram have been shown to have significantly transformed student behaviour. But the focus has been on students’ social behaviour. And on how the English language is being spoken because of social media use. The relationship between social media and students’ English language writing has been largely ignored. Our team of four researchers who specialize in language studies set out to study the relationship between social media use and English language performance. We studied one English as a Second Language class at Fiaseman Senior High School in Tarkwa, western Ghana. English is Ghana’s official language and is the medium of instruction for all levels of education. We learnt from the students th...
