    Emmy Awards: Quinta Brunson wins Best Actress in a Comedy, becomes the first Black woman in over 30 years

    Brunson became the first Black woman to win the category with “Abbott Elementary,” having previously won with “The Jeffersons” in 1981.

    Quinta Brunson became the first Black woman to win the best actress in a comedy category since Isabel Sanford did so in 1981 for “The Jeffersons.” Quinta Brunson played the tenaciously upbeat second-grade teacher Janine Teagues on ABC’s “Abbott Elementary.”

    She remarked, “I am incredibly happy to be able to live out my dream and act out comedy, and I love making ‘Abbott Elementary.’” “I know I say this all the time, but I just love comedy so much that I am thrilled to have this.”

    For Brunson, who also created and wrote “Abbott Elementary,” which follows a group of committed teachers at a Philadelphia public school, it was her first acting Emmy.

    Although she was also nominated for best actress at the time (Jean Smart took home the trophy for “Hacks”), she took home her first Emmy last year for best writing for a comedy series.

  • Elections 2024: SDA Church requests that the AG sponsor a bill to move the election day from Saturday, December 7

    Elections 2024: SDA Church requests that the AG sponsor a bill to move the election day from Saturday, December 7

    The Attorney General’s office has been requested by the Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) Church leadership to sponsor a bill that would change Saturday, December 7, 2024, election day to reflect that it is the Sabbath Day for worshipping God.

    However, in order to guarantee an inclusive democratic process that would not purposefully prevent others from exercising their right to vote, the Church suggested that the election take place on the first or second Tuesday in November.

    According to the Church, this bill’s nature justifies its sponsorship by the Attorney General (Executive) and the Office of the Ministry of Justice. In light of this, I have requested to meet with the Honourable Minister.

    The Church stated that as a result of its fruitful interactions with the EC, the amendment is now required. The Constitutional Review Commission (CRC) in 2011 and the Electoral Reforms Committee in 2015 made proposals that are the basis for the church’s stance.

    “The Electoral Reform Committee (2015) and the Constitutional Review Commission (2011) recommended holding elections “not later than 60 days to the installation of a new President and Parliament on January 7,” citing in particular (i) Paragraph 265 on page 193. (ii) According to the church, the ECRC recommended changing the date in Proposal 8 from “December 7 to November 7 on pages 10 and 11.”

    “The Seventh-Day Adventist Church (SDA) is proposing the ‘Ghana Elections’ Date Amendment Bill,’ which would amend the non-entrenched Article 112(4) for Parliamentary elections to meet the period guaranteed in Article 63(2) for Presidential elections.”

    Encountering the Commission on Elections 

    The Church met with the Electoral Commission in June of last year in an attempt to secure the modification of the election day of December 7.

    A section of the petition to the AG states, “The leadership of the Seventh-day Adventist Church met with the Electoral Commission (EC) on Wednesday, June 7, 2023, in anticipation of changing the date for general elections from December 7 to the first (1st) or second (2nd) Tuesday of November.”

    “In a general election year, the Church suggested to the EC moving the date from December 7 to the first or second Tuesday of November. The meeting with the EC had a positive outcome. The SDA Church emphasised that the Commission had assured its leadership that it would be willing to examine the proposal.

    The Adventist Church states that this proposal aims to “ensure that no one is excluded from participating in the electoral process and help deepen electoral democracy.”

    Video: Angry supporter ‘attacks’ Chris Hughton after Ghana’s defeat to Cape Verde

    A furious fan ‘attacks’ Chris Hughton following Ghana’s loss to Cape Verde

    Following Ghana’s defeat in their opening 2023 AFCON match, an enraged fan reportedly confronted Chris Hughton at the Black Stars hotel.

    On Sunday at the Felix Houphouet-Boigny Stadium, Hughton’s team lost disappointingly, 2-1, to lowly-ranked Cape Verde.

    Ghana 1–2. Cape Verde: The 2023 Black Stars are off to a losing start. AFCON
    After Jamiro Monteiro’s rebound, the Black Stars fell behind after just 17 minutes due to a lacklustre performance.

    With a header from Alexandre Djiku in the second half, Ghana recovered, and for a brief while, it appeared as though the evening might be theirs.

    But late in the game, Cape Verde surprised them when Garry Rodrigues scored the game-winning goal by taking advantage of a defensive blunder.

    Hughton is alleged to have been confronted by an enraged Ghanaian fan at the team hotel following the game, where he was pelted with obscenities.

    According to Joy Sports journalist Muftawu Nabila, security had to restrain the supporter and escort him away from the Irish coach.

    “Security removed a supporter who was acting furiously and using profanity towards Chris Hughton; he has not been charged.” Actually, there was no communication with the coach,” the reporter stated on X (the former Twitter).

    Group B now has the Blue Sharks at the top, and Ghana at the bottom, behind Egypt and Mozambique, who drew 2-2 earlier in the day and now share a point apiece.

    The Black Stars’ next match is scheduled for Thursday, January 18. They will take on Egypt.
