The palaver of impotence and Viagra craze

The fastest selling drug has found its way into Sikaman and no one should be surprised if teenage pregnancy assumes a fourth-dimen­sional character and becomes a na­tional tragedy. The name of the drug is VIAGRA and it is supposed to be a magic pill that turns impotent men into he-goats.

In the United States and Europe, the drug has been hailed by many who claim it has indeed helped them to perform their marital duties in pomp, pump and style. “It saved my marriage,” crooned one jubilant ex-impotent man.” Now my wife doesn’t misbehave. This drug must be the messiah.”

A 47-year old British New York-based journalist, Drew Mackenzie who tried it said. “It made me feel I was 18 again.”

Newspapers and magazines world­wide have praised Viagra and finally the drug has landed in Sikaman and is selling like hot suya. Ghanaman likes things of this nature, and many people are going to pretend they are impotent so that they can buy the drug to improve their nightly perfor­mance.

Yes, Ghanaman likes it. If a herb­alist comes around and says he has a drug that can enhance sexual per­formance like the celebrated AK 47 Bitters, it would be fully patronised. The problem with Ghanaman is that he doesn’t want things by the halves. Drink deep or taste not!

Go to your hometown and you might find people punching each other’s ears over the common dregs of palm wine. It contains yeast and is reputed to be very good for newly married men who must prove to their brides that they are not ‘hopeless’. At least they can prove a point, and prove it beyond doubt!

Impotence is a personal tragedy and men who suffer from it feel deflated and inferior. The hospitals have not helped much; the herbal­ist’s concoction has not been of any lasting value. Some have benefited from natural therapy, but a greater proportion of impotent folks have still not been able to get it up.

They have lost their wives because women want to be entertained at night. It is their situational right and they demand it even if you give chopmoney. A girlfriend may also not tolerate an impotent mate for too long because the relationship is ex­pected to be with watered love and passion. The rod must wake up for a while before going back to sleep.

Because of the self-pity that is associated with impotence, victims of the condition will do anything to redeem their self-image. They must bear children and above all show by rhythm a flow that they are capable of something so that his pride must not be wounded forever.

CRAZE

Sikaman is soon going to be engulfed in the Viagra craze because the drug comes in the form of pills and I hear it is fast acting. With earlier drugs, you probably had to take an injec­tion and wait for your ‘instru­ment’ to get charged which time the lady might have change her mind. That can cause more prob­lems including waist pains.

With Viagra, impotent men are allegedly having less problems. Immediately they take, they start bleating and misbehaving. They do their worst before the drug loses its Mankind!

Viagra may be solving the problems of many but there is an ALARM! It has been reported in the United States, some people (at least six) have died after taking the medicine. It is not quite known whether they died from the toxic nature of the drug, over-ex­citement or over-performance, or a combination of the three.

May be some of them got too pepped-up with the new discovery and worked themselves up to the point where their bodies could take no more. Anyhow, it is believed that they died from the effects of the drug.

As it were, Ghanaman must be­ware! Any drug which has been proved to be potent can easily be imitated by crooks who would want to cash in and make some money. So you’d find that Viagra can have many versions in a matter of weeks – the genuine one, semi-fake one, semi-toxic one and the one which can put you into coma for a century.

Sikaman has had to contend with fake drugs. Some capsules do not contain the chemicals they are sup­posed to contain. Instead, they are filled with Kokonte powder. Even if you take one million of the capsules, you can’t get cured. The only thing you probably might benefit from is di­arrhoea -free bowels, induced by raw Konkonte powder which should have gone into the preparation of ‘FACE THE WALL’.

I think it is time the Standards Board girded its loins because I can bet on my jaw that fake Viagra will be sold to Ghanaman at high cost. Some agents are even going to price it in dollars, so the Bank of Ghana should start warming up to net the dollar-charging miscreants.

In any case, I hear impotence is best cured by spiritual or divine heal­ing. When Reverend Reinhard Bonke was at Tema to fight red-eyed witch­es, a woman swore she was going to carry her husband shoulder-high to the crusade so that Jesus could repair his waist. It was a nice way of saying her husband was ‘off-road’ and could not embark on any journey, long or short distance.

Anyhow, the Lord cares. God says, “Be fruitful and multiply”. How can you multiply if you can’t get it up? So the Lord doesn’t heal only blindness, poverty and insanity. He also heals impotence, barrenness or infertility, and indeed every kind of disease.

Beware of Viagra. But the Lord cares, remember!

Dagaaba, Frafra celebrate unity, culture, business at 29th Games

Frafra ladies celebrating one of their goals

The 29th Annual Dagaaba-Frafra Friendly Games have once again demonstrated that sports can be a powerful vehicle for cultural preservation, business networking, friendship and peaceful coexistence.

Held at the El-Wak Sports Stadium in Accra last Saturday, the games brought together members of the two ethnic groups from across Ghana and abroad for a colourful celebration under the theme, “Unity in Diversity: The Dagaaba-Frafra Model for Peaceful Co-existence.”

The event, which has evolved from a friendly football match into a major annual gathering, featured football, volleyball, sack races, lime and spoon, tug-of-peace and a penalty shootout for senior citizens.

At the end of the competitions, the Frafra won four events, while the Dagaaba secured victories in five, with the men’s soccer match ending in a draw.

The Frafra triumphed in the men’s lime and spoon, men’s sack race, women’s sack race and women’s soccer, while the Dagaaba won the women’s lime and spoon, men’s volleyball, women’s volleyball, women’s tug-of-peace and the senior citizens’ penalty shootout.

However, the games extended far beyond the sporting arena. The stadium grounds and surrounding spaces became a vibrant marketplace, with patrons enjoying and purchasing a variety of traditional foods, drinks and cultural products.

Local delicacies, including TZ, tubaani, bambara beans, pork, guinea fowl, local fowls, dog meat and kosie, were sold alongside traditional alcoholic beverages. Traditional dresses and other culturally inspired items also attracted buyers, turning the gathering into an important platform for small businesses and vendors to make sales while promoting northern Ghanaian culture.

The cultural exchange continued long after the final sporting contests, as patrons remained at the venue to eat, drink, socialise, dance and party well into the night.

In her remarks, the Guest of Honour, Dr Matilda Aberese-Ako, said the gathering represented much more than competition, describing the Dagaaba-Frafra relationship as a historic bond that had evolved into a modern sporting tradition and an instrument for peace.

MTN Ghana has been the headline sponsor for the games for the past 10 years.

MTN Ghana has undertaken a tree-planting exercise at the Chipa Forest Reserve as part of its commitment to protecting the planet and support the restoration of degraded sections of the forest.

The activity forms part of the company’s 2026 Sustainability Month celebration held under the theme “Small Actions: Big Impact,” and its 30th anniversary celebration.

It was held in partnership with the Forestry Commission (FC) and the Rainforest Alliance with MTN Ghana supporting the restoration of approximately two hectares of degraded forest through the planting of 1,666 trees.

Due to the current dry weather conditions, 833 trees were planted during the exercise, with the remaining 833 to be planted when the rain commences.

The exercise brought together MTN employee volunteers, officials from the Forestry Commission and representatives of the Rainforest Alliance, demonstrating the importance of collaboration in driving environmental sustainability.

Speaking at the event, the Acting General Manager for Sustainability and Shared Value at MTN Ghana, Georgina Asare Fiagbenu, emphasized the critical role trees play in sustaining life and protecting the environment.

“Trees are essential to human survival and healthy ecosystems. They absorb carbon dioxide, release oxygen, regulate temperatures, protect soil, support biodiversity and provide habitats for many species. They also conserve water, reduce erosion and help communities adapt to the effects of climate change,” she said.

The District Manager of the Tema-Ada Forest Services Division of the Forestry Commission, Linda Ansah, welcomed MTN Ghana’s support, describing it as a valuable contribution to efforts aimed at restoring degraded sections of the reserve.

The Country Director of the Rainforest Alliance, Nicholas Jengri, also welcomed the partnership and emphasised the importance of collective action in addressing environmental challenges.
