Today is Ghana Constitution Day. Hurray!!! Constitution Day is a maiden holiday declared by the current government of Ghana to commemorate coming into effect of the Fourth Republic without any form of coup d’état through military operations. The day has been set aside to earmark how far Ghana has come in the acceptance and application of the Rule of Law, the 1992 Constitution, and the Democratic Governance. Prior to the 4th Republic, Ghana had experienced myriads of coup d’état that have overthrown several presidents out of power and led the country into military governance. However, since the commencement of the 1992 Constitution of Ghana on 7th January 1993, the country has enjoyed peace and stability. Therefore, the Constitution Day serves as a means to remember efforts made to ensure peace and stability after gaining independence and coming into effect of the 4th Republic. The maiden Constitution Day Public Lecture will take place today, 7th January 2020. It will include a public lecture which will be delivered by the Rector of Ghana Academy of Arts and Science GIMPA, Professor Bondzie-Sampson on the topic, “Constitutionalism in Ghana’s Fourth Republic: Towards Functional Performance”.

When you rent a car, there are some responsibilities for you to take. In order to ensure that the car you rented is in good shape, you have to abide by the terms and conditions required by the car rental firm. The following are five ways to take care of a rented car: 1. Take good care of the tires Always ensure that the tire pressure is good before you set off to town or anywhere you might be using the vehicle. Hard braking and other aggressive driving styles have a negative effect on the tires. It will wear them faster and cause them to degrade. 2. Check the engine oil level A critical area to take a look at when renting a car is the engine oil level. If you would be renting the car for a longer period, then you need to ask the car rental companies their policy regarding the engine oil and all others. As a precaution, make sure the car’s engine is also in a good state. 3. Check the brakes of the car frequently If the brakes of the car are faulty, it can lead to a disastrous accident. Therefore, you have to make sure the brakes of the car always check, repaired and in a good condition. Look at the brake system and the brake pedals. Consider applying a brake fluid where necessary. Look for warning systems before issues emerge. 4. Check the car lights In order to ensure your safety while driving at night, you need to make sure that the headlights, brake lights, and the flashers are all working appropriately. Where there is a problem, consider visiting the nearest mechanic shop to avoid disaster. 5. Good maintenance for the car’s body If you are using the car to pass a rough road, then taking care of the car’s body is very important. If the car’s body has become muddy as a result of passing through a rough road, you might want to visit the nearest car wash to give a quick wash to the car. 6. Drive safely This is very important. Most people know how to drive but in their quest to meet meeting schedules and deadlines, they engage in offensive, reckless and aggressive driving which leads to serious problems. Refrain from any reckless driving. Take note of road signs and drive safely.

Homowo is a festival celebrated by the GA people of Ghana, located at the Greater Accra Region of Ghana. As a result of the festival’s celebration in Accra, the capital city of Ghana, the festival has attracted lots of international recognition. Homowo is celebrated to remember how the ancestors of the GA-People were about to survive the severe famine and hunger that plagued them as they were migrating to Ghana. According to Oral tradition, the GA people acted industriously and planted cereal crops like maize and millet to combat the hunger.  As they worked hard to farm, the gods rewarded them bountiful with rain and bumper harvest. So after harvesting the crops, they jubilated and initiated the celebration, “Homowo”! “Homowo” simply means “hooting over hunger” or “hooting at hunger”. The festival is celebrated annually to express the cultural value of being industrious, creative and resourceful—as a way of ensuring the younger generation picks up these rich values of the ancestors. The celebration of Homowo usually begins in May when the Ga people begin planting maize and millet. The period and date for the Homowo festival celebration is selected and announced by the Dentu Priest or the Ga-Mantse (King of the Ga People). During the celebration period, there is a ban in Accra on drumming, singing, PA systems and wild noise making. It is believed that the serenity, calmness and silence in the Ga-Traditional Area would give the gods the peace of mind to prepare for the harvest, bless the people with bumper harvest and protect them. The festival is celebrated at various quarters of the Ga Traditional Area before the final celebration is celebrated by the entire area. Homowo festival is marked with parading twins on the streets of the Ga Traditional area who are being dressed in white calico. While the celebration date varies, the festival is usually celebrated in the month of August, the same month where the cereal crops like maize and millet are harvested. The harvested maize is used to prepare a traditional food called “ kpokpoi.” Kpokpoi is spread through the Ga Traditional area by the chief priest accompanied by the “Kpanlogo” dance. The festival is climaxed with a grand durbar, attended Ga Mantse and other ethnic chiefs, Ga-chief priests, people of origin, national delegates, politicians and foreigners. The Ga-Mantse gives his annual speech, advises the Ga people to work hard and develop the community. The chief priests also pour libation to pray for the people, ask for blessing and protection from the gods. There is merry making, dancing, drumming and socialization with the streets of Accra being heavily trafficked. Interested in renting a car for your business and personal engagements in Ghana?
