Go back to court, I don’t think your chief arbitrator is giving you fair treatment —Paul Danka gives free advice to Yenyeya Mining Enterprise
John Paul Danka a Communication Team member of the Opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) who doubles as a native of Talensi District of the Upper East Region has advised Yenyeya Mining Enterprise an aggrieved registered small scale mining company operating in Gbane Community to proceed back to court. Apexnewsgh.com reports According to a brief history between Yenyeya Mining Enterprise and Shaanxi Mining Limited now known as EARL International. It is public knowledge that Shaanxi mining now Earl International Group (GH) Gold Mining Limited came into Gbane community of Talensi through Yenyeya the owner of the concession they currently occupied. It is also public knowledge that Shaanxi Mining was brought in to give Yenyeya a mining support service. It is also public knowledge that these two entities have worked together as partners since 2008. However, the latest development causing albatross per what is out there in the public domain got to do with the Chinese moving into a large-scale mining business under the name “Earl International Group (GH) Gold Mining Limited” through the back door which has been described as a strategy of taking over the concession that belonged to Yenyeya (his Ghanaian employer). Yenyeya Mining Enterprise later went to court praying for “an independent professional auditor” to audit the “mining operations and other related activities” that have been carried out inside the Yenyeya Mining Enterprise’s concession from 2008 to date. However, the Plaintiff is also praying the High Court to pronounce a restraining order “in the nature of a perpetual injunction” stopping Earl International Group (GH) Gold Mining Limited “from doing illegal mining and related activities” in the Yenyeya Mining Enterprise’s small-scale concession and from entering the concession until the court case is over. Yenyeya Mining Enterprise further seek “relief for damages resulting from injury caused to Plaintiff’s rights by the willful and malicious conversion of Plaintiff’s ownership of its small-scale mining concession by the defendants”. It is also looking for relief for “damages sustained from injury to Plaintiff’s property resulting from breach of contract and the unauthorized and wrongful exercise of control over Plaintiff’s concession by the defendants”. But according to Mr. Danka who was speaking on Dreams FM Morning Show monitored by Apexnewsgh.com on October 8, 2021, the actions exhibited so far by the regional minister who happens to be the arbitrator between the mining partners has not shown any atom of equal fairness to Yenyeya Mining Enterprise. “I was expecting that time the sector/regional minister will be giving the commentary and even before the company that are coming in are given there prospective licensing and what have you per whichever stage they have gotten to MOU should have been signed with the assembly and our Tidaan and Chiefs been parts of these MOUs. “Because our land tenant system here they should remember, is different from any other land system here in the country depending on where you found yourself. In Talensi, we know that Tindaana’s own lands so they need to be part of parcel of these MOUs and to appreciate exactly what the mining Companies have brought”. “And here is the situation, the politicians is usual of them, we will come and speak big big grammer, introduce the miners to you chiefs and what have you and they will leave you and whatever they have signed for the companies and what the companies are giving them in return, they have taken their share and they are gone. And remember, an appointment is not forever”. “So, I am expecting that by now, we should have been talking about MOU been signed by the assembly and telling the people of Talensi what they intend to do for us in 2 years, 5 years, 10 years, 15 years 20 years as they mine, so that we can track their activities. This is what they called, (we are learning from the past). But what they did, is the same thing. The repeated has been happening. Those coming to chief created an impression that they are the best, but they can’t be at the site to know the damage and how activities will affect the people on the ground. That is the situation we are still confronted with” “You see, the companies they have mentioned their names apart from I think Cardinal Resource that am aware that they had their own concession. ”This company that they went to visit for instance… Why are we doing this to ourselves? You see, the regional minister mislead the sector minister. Because we all know that where he went and met EARL is not for EARL. Shaanxi is no more Shaanxi because Shaanxi should have even moved their things long ago. You see, in all these happenings, I blamed Yenyeya, I still don’t know what they are waiting for. They are your employees, you didn’t even need to wait for these people to come and write to them to leave because the law is no more working. Once you have been told to demobilize and leave, so be it. EARL claimed they have paid compensation to other people close to 16 square acre, you should have gone to meet them there. Do you meet Cardinal Resource in somebody’s concession? He questioned And you see, the matter is at court concerning certain unfilled agreements they have not done and you the Regional Minister requested for an out of court settlement, you are now the Chief arbitrator of this case and you know that there is an injunction that no one should enter the place and no one should use the place. So, how then did you the Chief arbitrator get up and be following one party? When you know that we have not solved the problem, the problem is not been solved, we have not finished. For me, I will advise Yenyeya, they should go back to the court because, the way and manner the chief arbitrator is acting, I don’t think they will get any fair treatment from him. They should go back

As part of his annual humanitarian initiative of rendering a helping hand to the vulnerable, a Human Rights award-winning freelance journalist and director of Apexnews Gh Ngamegbulam Chidozie Stephen with the assistance of few individuals in the Upper East Region have handed over some undisclosed amounts of Ghanaian cedis to the family of a widow and her two crippled daughters. According to Mr. Ngamegbulam, the condition of the family was a terrible one that demands some level of urgent attention. “The family only son who happened to be the family breadwinner died somewhere 8 months ago and since then, life has become so unbearable to the family, eating has become a problem, their shelter has turned to nothing than a death trap. I mean you could see the suffering this particular family is going through each blessed day”. Mr. Ngamegbulam expresses Meanwhile, according to their widow mother Madam Janet Nsoh Abotsi, the condition of her cripple children seems to be spiritual because they were not naturally born crippled. One of her cripple daughters Paulina was 20 years old when she and the family witnessed her regrettable cripple situation whiles Ayine received her share of the deformity at the age of 13 and since then, the family has been in such a humiliating struggle to date. However, according to Mr. Ngamegbulam, even though he had already planned his 2021 humanitarian activity somewhere in May 2021, immediately after listening to the heartbreaking story of the widow and her cripple children, he decided to channel all his attention on the family as part of his annual humanitarian project for 2021. He also used the medium to call on well-meaning personalities and NGOs within and outside the country to come to the aid of the family, because a lot needs to be done to address the important needs of the family. Madam Janet after receiving the undisclosed amount of money on Wednesday prayed and expresses gratitude to Mr. Ngamegbulam and those who contributed in cash and kind, as she added her voice by calling on Ghanaians to further come to their aide. The widow currently survives the family with her little kosee and yam frying business. However, Mr. Ngamegbulam Chidozie Stephen started his humanitarian initiative in 2018 following his late father’s advice whose humanitarian kind gesture has impacted lots of lives during his active days.

BBNAIJA: See Big Brother Naija fans reactions about Yousef dairy session
There have been some public reactions about the unnecessary quantity of time used by Yousef of Big Brother each time an opportunity is given to him to appear in the Big Brother diary room. According to a survey conducted by Apexnewsgh.com a growing popular online platform based in Ghana West Africa, housemate Yousef who is known to be a high school teacher, model and trainer is noted to be the longest stayed housemate in Big Brother diary room. Even though most of Yousef supporters in the ongoing Big Brother Naija game battle see Yousef as a very gentle and nice personality, but majority have expressed some level of discomfort with what they described as a boring dairy session each time he is called to appear in the diary room. As for Yousef, a simple question from Big Brother will take him a long time to answer instead of giving a straight answer to the question as expected by his supporters. An example is, BIG BROTHER: Yousef, How are you feeling today? One would have expected that Yousef as a teacher will give a straight answer, but unfortunately, Yousef will give such a simple question a duration of 2 to 3 minutes. In most times, due to his lengthy style of answering the Big Brother simple question, Big Brother himself had to interject him by way of asking him to summarize his answer. This was an observation posted on a public Big Brother Naija 2021 (Season 6) Updates group: And below is the reactions by supporters: However, fans of Big Brother Naija and supporters of Yousef want Ebuka Obi-Uchendu to draw Yousef attention to the negative reactions from his supporters on Sunday during the eviction session.
