I attended a college that was built and handled by a mission. And I had an opportunity to lead the students. One of the hazards that will come with leading students of such a school is to strike a balance between serving the interest of the institution ( the mission of the Mission) and the social and spiritual needs of those who do not necessarily belong to the Mission. If one has been in such a dilemma, one would understand what is means to be put to pressure to show others where power lies.
In this College, there was a Mosque, but there was no Church. So one of the classrooms that were closer to the Mosque was converted into a Church for daily prayers while on Sundays, students left the College to a nearby institution to have Church service. They were not stopped, by the way, even though they required to sign exeat to do so which they never got.
For a very long time, the church services happened at exactly the time that we prayed Maghreb( the prayer at sunset). Obviously, not being a Catholic service, the prayer went with a lot of singing and dancing. This ALWAYS disturbed our prayer much to the agitations of the students.
What did we do? I went to the Church and invited their leader. I sat him down and explain to him that our time of prayer is transitory. That means if we do not pray at the exact time, we may miss it entirely, but theirs was not. So if they could wait for the 10 to 15 minutes that we needed to pray, they could continue. We had an agreement then.
A few weeks later, as our Imam raised his hands a said “God Is Great” , which, by the way, is the meaning of Allahu Akhbar, the sound of a very big drum is heard from the church. As we prayed, our supplication were swallowed by serious dancing and drumming fifty meters away. I think my colleagues had had it up to their neck. They could not contain it any longer, they must show them that this is their college.
What did we do? We went to the Church again and repeated the earlier transaction. Then after that, we met the entire Christian Community, I think SU and CCR at the time with some leaders from town. We agreed that they will have to adhere to the treaty that we had. Until we left the college, this clash never happened again.
Why did we do that? We did so because the fundamental tenant of that Mission is tolerance for varied religious opinions which we followed to latter. In tolerating the Church, we were adhering to the basic belief of the Mission.
The reasons for this narration are not so many. The first is to show that, religious tolerance or intolerance as the case may be, is a matter for the individual. A group may have its mission, but that mission will be carried out by individuals. These individuals may be intolerant towards others, but that will not mean the group as a whole is intolerable. Wesley Girls was built by the Wesleyan Missionaries for the purpose of educating Ghanaians both circularly and spiritually, but most importantly, to imbibe in them the Methodist beliefs of Christiandom.
At the time, the current headmistress was not consulted if at all she was born. They built the school in order to contribute to Ghana’s education and to also promote their faith. At the time, they could tell Muslims not to attend the school or if they attended, they could not complain of religious bias because they knew what that school was set up to do. Saint Francis Xavier Minor in my hometown still operated like this. They may say that because that would have been a private entity operating to educate children in Christianity for the wards of parents who were willing to pay- an entirely private affair.
If however, this private entity become public entity, that seeks support from a budget that is funded by everyone, their power of choice between what to enforce becomes moot. It becomes at most, limited and has to follow the Constitutional requirements of providing education in Ghana. This has been followed by several other mission schools including those I attended.
While Saint Francis Xavier Minor does not admit Muslim students, Saint Francis of Assisi has a very large Muslim population- my girlfriends were there. And, there are other Catholic schools that have Muslim students who are allowed to practice their faith. I have taught in one of them and remember how the voice of Father Mathew Tuurosung- may God bless his soul- admonished students not to discriminate against each other. He lived it as an example and never gave any hint of hate for Muslim students. The story is not the same under some other persons.
My conclusion is that, we should not be quick to do broad brush stroking of the entire system discriminating against Muslims. We are the system which some people like the headmistress of the school will like to test. If we want to tackle something like that, we know where to go.
As a bonus, the Muslim MPs in Ghana’s Parliament last week met with the leadership of the Church of the issue and the church was supposed to have met the board of the school. It may not be only in respect of this fasting, but other Islamic practices as well. May God five is understanding and patience to wait when things aren’t quiet.

Football as they say is not meant for only the matured, rather, it enclaved all, both the old and young. It also depends on how well you know the game. A little genius and 16 years old Abdul Aziz Tawab, naturally born maestro and delightful to watch is a player for Wa Yassin Juniors Football Club.
He was born in Wa, the capital of Upper West Region, Ghana to Mr. and Mrs. Aziz. He has a height of about 5.2cm and plays the Goalkeeping Role in the team. He is a right-footed and a first-team player in the junior side of Wa Yassin Juniors Football Club.
Abdul Aziz Tawab, has the strength to be between the sticks of any game if called upon. His automatic response to a simple stimulus is excellent and a good ball handler. He has the power of moving his limbs quickly and easily towards the ball.
His confidence level in the 18 yard box is super fantastic, a wonderful footwork and distribution of the ball. His eyes are like the owl type ( Hyperbolically) which makes him a good close range shot-stopper. Tawab’s concentration and reactions is something we cannot finish discussing.
Edwin Van der Sar, formally of Ajax Armstadam, formally of Manchester United FC and formally of the Netherland National Team, inspires him to become a shot-stopper.

The most admitted story tells that the game was developed in England in the 12th century. In this century, games that resembled football were played on meadows and roads in England. Besides from kicks, the game involved also punches of the ball with the fist. This early form of football was also much more rough and violent than the modern way of playing. Football has therefore extended it wings to other parts of the world and got to the people of Wa, the capital town of Upper West Region of Ghana.
Alhassan Nupaya, a young talented footballer, who started his footballing journey at Wa Yassin Football Club, a third tier football club based in the Upper West Region. He was born on May 5, 2001 into the Nupaya family in Wa. Having the passion and zeal to play the game, in 2009, when he was eight (8) years old, joined the Wa based club.
Alhassan Nupaya was so much into the game right from the start, and was promoted into the senior team when he was only sixteen (16). He played a very vital role as a Center Back in the team in the Regional Division Two League and has won more MOTM Awards than any other player in the team.
Upon his wonderful performance in the Regional Division Two, he was fortunate to be taken out of the country for trials in clubs such as Sheffield United (U18, U19 and U23) in England and Al-Hillal in Dubai. He also played in the Kosovo League for FC Fariza.
He returned to Ghana and was playing for Shooting Stars. A third tier football club based in Achimota, Accra.
Nupaya Alhassan was with FC Pinzgau Saalfeldeen in the Austrian Regionalliga Salzburg, a third tier league in the Austrian Football for just a season.
He is currently with Ghana’s second tier side, Akosombo Krystal Palace Academy. He plays very important role for the club ever since he joined prior to the start of the season.
Alhassan Nupaya is a very good center back. A rock at the defense, he is also known as the “Great Wall of China” when it comes to defense. He plays like Virgil Van Dijk of Liverpool and the Netherland National Team.

Being a professional footballer is the dream job for many and it’s easy to see why. After all, it offer one the chance to become a millionaire by playing a game one loves. Not only that, but those who excel in the sport are, more often than not, revered and their legacies resonate for years, even decades. Dawda Mubashir, a plorific young footballer, whose dream is to become one of the finest footballer in the world.
Dawda Mubashir, a native of Wa, the capital town of Upper West Region of Ghana was born into a family of dreams. As a dreamer, Mubashir used to be kicking balls around and calling himself of ex-footballers names.
He joined Wa Yassin Football Club, a third tier football club in Wa at an early age. He went through all the ranks at the club and had his first team appearance and was the club’s youngest player ever to feature in the senior team. He has ever since been a key player in the team and has helped them in the Regional Division Two as well as in the MTN-FA CUP Competition for some couple of years.
Before the beginning of the 2020/2021 football season in Ghana, Bofoakwa Tano Football Club, a second tier football club based in the Brong Ahafo Region of Ghana, signed him on a two-year deal due to the spectacular performance he put up the trancated 2019/2020 season because of the advent of Covid-19 pandemic. He has featured in some games of the ongoing Ghana Division One League for Bofoakwa Tano FC and has performed better much. Bofoakwa Tano were runner-up in that zone. In the following season, thus, 2021/2022 season, Daud Mubashir was injured and could not take part in the league.
Upon his return to football, Wamanafo Mighty Royals Football Club signed him on loan from Bofoakwa Tano FC to help them get a slot in the Ghana Premier League. He joined the Royals ahead of the 2022/2023 Division One League Season.
Peter Daud Mubashir returned to his home town Wa, and join Wa Power Sporting Club ahead of the 2023/2024 Access Bank Division One League. Wa Power Sporting Club gained the qualification to compete in the 2023/2024 Access Bank Division One League, which is their maiden season. He joined the attacking department of the “We Can” family.
As a striker/attacker, he has chosen Emmanuel Adebayor, formally of Togo National Team, of Real Madrid FC, of Arsenal FC, to be his role model. He has the same physic as that of Adebayor, and facially, they look a little bit alike. He is working hard to be better than his brother, Hafiz Wontah Konkoni, who plays for Bechem United FC in the Ghana Premier League.

Football, as we all know is any of several games played between two teams on a usually rectangular field having goalposts or goals at each end and whose objective is to get the ball over a goal line, into a goal, or between goalposts by running, passing, or kicking, as done in British game, American soccer, etc.

Abdul Hack Arafat Erasung spent only thirteen (13) month with Supper Upper Stars and went on trials at a newly established club in the same region, Wa United FC, and was fortunate to be picked among a lot who went for the trials but he did not have any cap with Zebras. Arafat Erasung chose Marcus Rashford of Manchester United as his role model and plays like him too.
His dream is to one day represent his country at the highest level in the game, and also make the region proud like how Ismail Abdul Ganiu, Imoro Ibrahim, for T.P Muzembe in DR. Congo and Al Hilal Omdurman, and Mohammed Kudus of Ajax Armstadam, among others are doing.

This has been a very difficult decision, and not one that the owner and the Board have taken lightly.
We are grateful to Frank for what he has achieved in his time as Head Coach of the Club. However, recent results and performances have not met the Club’s expectations, leaving the Club mid-table without any clear path to sustained improvement.
There can never be a good time to part ways with a club legend such as Frank, but after lengthy deliberation and consideration it was decided a change is needed now to give the Club time to improve performances and results this season.
Roman Abramovich said,
“This was a very difficult decision for the Club, not least because I have an excellent personal relationship with Frank and I have the utmost respect for him’.
“He is a man of great integrity and has the highest of work ethics. However, under current circumstances we believe it is best to change managers.
“On behalf of everyone at the Club, the Board and personally, I would like to thank Frank for his work as Head Coach and wish him every success in the future. He is an important icon of this great club and his status here remains undiminished. He will always be warmly welcomed back at Stamford Bridge.”
The Club will be making no further comment until such time as a new Head Coach is appointed.
