With no mechanical updates, the car is now less of a threat to Ferrari kind than it ever was. Recently, t he founder of the All-People’s Congress (APC), Hassan Ayariga showed off this flashy Lamborghini Gallardo cars in a post on social media. The pictures alone sent tongues wagging on social media after cruising in town in his vintage vehicle showing that driving one is still a delight – if not as rewarding as being behind the wheel of one of its supercar rivals. Lamborghini Gallardo is an Italian supercar-make and has hot entry-level model, don't assume it is a lesser striking sports car. One only has to take a look at the statistics to which you’ll realise that this darling Gallardo is the real desire. This hot Lambo has a mid-mounted V10 that churns out 552 horsepower, acceleration to 60 mph in less than 5 seconds, a 199-mph top ...

WAICA is the trade Association of all insurance companies in Anglophone West African countries.   The nomination is coming the heels of a request from the WAICA secretariat in Ghana for a Vice President to assist the current President, Saye Gbalazeh of Liberia, whose term expires in April 2022.

Traditional leaders around the country have been admonished to embrace and preach peace and development at all times.

Lack of good roads coupled with heavy traffic in most cities had forced a lot of people to look for faster means to transport themselves. What come in handy are okadas (Motorbike) and aboboyaa ( Tricycle) as emergency transport service for quicker meet-time and delivery.

They operate as if traffic laws were made for other road users and not them. I recently visited Bolgatanga, the capital of the Upper East Region, close to the border with Burkina Faso, and to my surprise motorist over there seem to obey traffic regulations and driving over there was fun. No reckless counter-crossing or heavy-handed driving. In most parts of the capitals, in Ghana, okadas and aboboyaas compete with heavy-duty trucks, high-capacity vehicles on the highways and even on main road lanes. One...
