The clash erupted Friday afternoon after the angry youth invaded the residence of the man at Choggu to set it ablaze.

This has been the year of Beyoncé. Not only did she make music history by becoming the first female artist to have 12 songs on the ­Billboard top 100 (all on her sixth album, ­Lemonade), but she also made waves in the business world too. In April she launched the ­athleisure clothing brand Ivy Park. While the venture is her first major foray outside the music world, Beyoncé is no stranger to being the boss. Back in 2007 she founded her own entertainment and management company, Parkwood Entertainment. This year Parkwood added a music label to its operations and signed its first three artists, all of whom are women. Empowering women seems to be an ongoing theme for the music mogul: In May she announced an investment in WTRMLN WTR, a ­female-founded watermelon-­water startup.
When I call her king Beyonce, some people get mad...lol. She actually clocked at no. 51 on the list of Fortune 50 female CEOs and business tycoons. They couldn't leave her out! Go here for the full …

When I arrived at Harvard in 2013 for my Master of Laws Degree (LL.M.), I took the further step of applying for the Corporate Law, Finance & Governance Concentration. Together with ten others, I got in. I was bent on making the best of my time at this hallowed institution. I cross-registered at the Harvard Business School to retrofit my intellectual wiring to suit the world of business.

Some of my friends, who like me were not quantitatively endowed, steered clear of courses such as Analytical Methods for Lawyers and Business Strategy for Lawyers. I took the former course in the semester in which Professor Kathryn Spier, an economist with a background in Mathematics, taught it.

As she announced on the first day of class, she was not a lawyer so quite predictably everything hinged on my worst fears – quantitative methods.

I had a torrid time in her class. My previous studies had not prepared me for that aspect of legal studies. With the selfless help of Michael Waks (the …

Zimbabwe's government is axing 25,000 civil service jobs in an effort to rein in government spending.
It is also cancelling annual bonus payments as part of a series of measures aimed at saving $118m (£89m) in employment costs.
In July, civil servants went on strike over delays in the payment of their salaries.
The country is going through its toughest economic situation since the hyper-inflation of 2008.

Speaking to parliament on Thursday, Finance Minister Patrick Chinamasa said that currently the government wage bill takes up nearly 97% of the revenue it receives.
He hopes to bring that figure down to 75% by the end of next year.
The 25,000 job losses, which amount to 8% of the civil service workforce, were described in the state-owned Herald newspaper as a "bold measure" to reduce "unsustainable" spending.  Last year, Mr Chinamasa made similar proposals which were then blocked by the cabinet.
In the past few months, the government has struggled to pay civil s…

The first vice chairman of the New Patriotic Party, Fredrick Fredua Antoh, has apologised for suggesting that that President John Mahama should be killed in a firing squad fashion for seeking a second term in office.

Speaking on a Kumasi-based radio station on Thursday, the NPP firebrand said, “Acheampong embarked on massive infrastructural development, he built Kumasi Sports Stadium, Komfo Anokye Polyclinic, but when he mismanaged the economy and inflation shot up, he was overthrown.

“Do you remember what happened to him? He was shot to death. The way and manner Mahama has mismanaged the economy, if not for civilization and democracy, he should have been killed by now,” Mr Antoh stated. Government and the Christian Council have since condemned his comment.

Communication Minister, Edward Omane Boamah said in a statement “We believe elections are about counting heads and not cutting heads” and advised the NPP and all political actors to engage in progressive politicking and…

A Facebooker user, Judith Juahla, has made a startling claim about how her lecturer at the university reneged on a promise to give her ‘A’ in an examination.

According to her, the lecturer, whom she did not name, slept with her in exchange for giving her an ‘A’ grade, but when the result came she was shocked to find out that she got an “E”.

She said when she called the lecturer to find out what had gone wrong, he said he failed her because she prevented him from ejaculating in her during their intercourse.

Stressing that what the lecturer did was “so unfair”, Judith said she felt “wasted” and that she would expose him to the public.

“He must explain whether the E is for ejaculation or what,” she said.

Reports say Judith is an electrical engineering student at the University of Nairobi while the lecturer has been identified as Dr Kiogora.

"When you go away and you're out of people's consciousness, they stop noticing you," she told Jonathan Ross at a recording of his ITV chat show.

Before her starring role in Bridget Jones's Baby, the 47-year-old had not appeared on screen since 2010.

Popular boxer, Ayitey Powers, is going into the record books as the first Ghanaian professional boxer to have become born again and released a 12-track gospel album.

Interestingly, Ayitey Powers says he will distribute the songs for free instead of selling the album to make money because he sees the message in the songs as a true life testimony that will make more people believe in the power of God.

Facebook has controversially removed the iconic image of a girl fleeing a Napalm attack during the Vietnam war from a post, on the grounds of nudity.
The editor of Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten said the entire post, which was about iconic war imagery, was later deleted and the account of the reporter behind it suspended.
Espen Egil Hansen has accused Mark Zuckerberg of "an abuse of power".

Facebook said it has to restrict nudity for cultural reasons.
Mr Hansen said the image of Kim Phuc, then aged nine, was removed less than 24 hours after the newspaper received a request from the firm to either take down the image or pixelate it and before it had responded.
"While we recognise that this photo is iconic, it's difficult to create a distinction between allowing a photograph of a nude child in one instance and not others," Facebook said in a statement.

US swimmer Ryan Lochte has been hit with a 10-month suspension following his bogus gunpoint robbery story during a drunken night out at the Rio Olympics, according to US sports authorities.
As part of the penalty, Lochte will forfeit bonus money from the Games and will not be allowed access to United States Olympic Committee (USOC) training centres. He will also not receive his monthly funding from USOC and USA Swimming.
The 32-year-old, who won gold in the 4x200 metres freestyle relay in Rio, will miss next year's national championships and will therefore not be eligible for the world championships in July. He must perform 20 hours of community service and will miss Team USA's post-Olympics trip to the White House.

The USOC gives a $25,000 bonus to Olympic gold-medal winners, and USA Swimming has awarded a $75,000 gold-medal bonus at past Olympics.
Lochte admitted he "over-exaggerated" a tale about being robbed and held at gunpoint after a part y during the Oly…

For the second straight year, Serena Williams saw her bid for a seventh US Open title halted in the semifinals with a 6-2 7-6(5) loss to Karolina Pliskova on Friday (NZ time) that also ended her long reign as world number one.
A year ago, Williams went into the semifinals on the cusp of a rare calendar-year grand slam but was the victim of one of the biggest upsets in tennis history when Roberta Vinci, a 300-to-1 longshot, prevailed.
This year it was Czech 10th seed Pliskova, who until this week had never played beyond the third round of a grand slam, delivering the upset as she swept Williams off an Arthur Ashe Stadium court she claims as her own in one hour, 26 minutes.


"I don't believe it. Actually, I do believe it," Pliskova said in a courtside interview. "I always knew I have a chance to beat anybody if I'm playing my game.
Karolina played great today. I think if she had played any less, then maybe I would have had a chance," Williams said.

The Berlin-born represented Germany youth teams before switching allegiance to play for Ghana national team, coincidentally lining up for the Black Stars against a German side featuring his younger brother Jerome at the 2010 Fifa World Cup in South Africa.

Boateng also spoke about his decision to join Las Palmas

“Why not? I had two or three opportunities as well,” he said.
