The United States (US) government has threatened to impose visa restrictions on Ghanaian citizens.

Ghana's Asamoah Gyan has hit back after it was wrongly reported Christaino Ronaldo had become the first man to score at eight successive major tournaments. Ronaldo scored a stunning hat-trick in Portugal's 3:3 draw with Spain on Friday night as he netted in an eighth major tournaments in a row. While it was reported that Ronaldo was the first to achieve that feat, it was in fact Asamoah Gyan, who has gone one better and scored in nine major tournaments in a row. Gyan wrote on Twitter "People disregard my achievements in the World Cup history but i want the whole world to know that i have not been given the fair shake but records will remain forever". Striker Gyan who plays for Kayserispor in Turkey, boasts an impressive CV at major tournaments, finding the target at three World Cups and six African Nations Cup tournaments. His first goal was against Czech Republic at the 2006 World Cup before following that up withwith the first goal of the

The FIFA World Cup begins this week. This year the storied competition takes place in Russia, and, as always, it will feature some of the biggest stars in world football. Among the elite footballers competing in Russia is Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo who will be captaining Portugal. The 33-year-old is five times Ballon d'Or recipient who has won everything there is to capture in club football. Ronaldo holds an European Championship winner's medal due to Portugal's triumph over France at Euro 2016. Russia 2018 holds what might be Ronaldo's last chance to add the prestigious World Cup to his long list of accomplishments. However, the veteran forward is facing a distraction heading into Russia after a specific threat was made against him by Daesh (the so-called Islamic State). Earlier this year a mocked up image circulated around the dark web showing masked men in the process of beheading both Ronaldo and Argentina/Barcelona's Lionel Messi. The image

The entrance cum exit gate of the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital around Larterbiokorshie, as at 6:00am has not been opened. According to the notice script on the gate "Gate closes from 10pm to 5:30am", meaning the gate is supposed to be closed at 10pm and opened at 5:30am. This morning at about 6:15am, the gates were not opened and this has caused a huge traffic jam. Staffs entering and exiting have to wait until any of the night security guards appear to come and open the gates. According to Mr Osei, one of those waiting for the gates to be opened said, he has been here since 5:40am and even the day security guards who are supposed to take over from the night guards are even present and none of the night guards have appeared in the scene. "All efforts have been made but none of both the night guards nor keys have been found" said one of the day guards in an interview with Ghnationhype. Some involved have complain bitterly especially Mr Osei, whom beh

Zimbabwe will hold nationwide polls to elect the president and members of parliament's lower house on July 30, President Emmerson Mnangagwa said. He made this known in an official publication on Wednesday. The election will be a major test for Mnangagwa who succeeded veteran former President Robert Mugabe as head of state following a brief military takeover in November that led to the 94-year-old's departure. "Monday, the 30th day of July, 2018 (is) the day of election to the office of President, the election of members for the National Assembly and election of councillor's," said the Government Gazette.

The President, Nana Akufo-Addo, has described as disgraceful the distressing state of mining communities in the country. According to him, after decades of mining in places like Obuasi, Tarkwa and Prestea, conditions there are not enough to match the amount of gold mined out of the communities. Opening the West African Mines Conference in Ghana, the President said his government is in the process of functioning out the Mineral Development Fund Act to address these problems. Some Prestea roads are anything but motorable "Why is Obuase not among the most beautiful cities in Ghana or the world if it holds riches in gold mines. Why do Tarkwa and Prestea not look like the golden towns ?" "Or why does Akwatia's appearance not reflect anything about the diamonds that have been taken out of the soils all these years?" he quizzed. He said his government is poised to work to change the distressed and disgraceful state of mining in the country. President
