He also mentioned that he will be expecting President Akufo-Addo to get a replacement for him as mandated by law. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/breaking-news-j-j-rawlings-dies-at-73 He cited the Agyapa deal among public backlash as reasons for his resignation. "I am grateful to every Ghanaian for both the support and criticisms during my tenure. When the real facts of my tenure become well known to the public in the future, history may judge me kindly. Ghana First!" he added. Below is a copy of the resignation and full text: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE RESIGNATION OF APPOINTMENT AS SPECIAL PROSECUTOR WITH IMMEDIATE EFFECT: MARTIN A. B. K. AMIDU, ESQ This is to inform the public that I resigned from my position as the Special Prosecutor of the Office of the Special Prosecutor with immediate effect upon the submission of my letter of resignation with reference number OSP/2/AM/14 dated 16th November 2020 which was received at the Office of the President at 15:15 HRS this afternoon. I should not ordinarily be announcing my resignation to the public myself but the traumatic experience I went through from 20th October 2020 to 2nd November 2020 when I conveyed in a thirteen (13) page letter the conclusions and observations on the analysis of the risk of corruption and anti-corruption assessment on the Report On Agyapa Royalties Limited Transactions and Other Matters Related Thereto to the President as Chairman of the National Security Council cautions against not bringing my resignation as the Special Prosecutor with immediate to the notice of the Ghanaian public and the world. In undertaking the analysis of the risk of prevention of corruption and anti-corruption assessment I sincerely believed that I was executing an independent mandate under the Office of the Special Prosecutor, Act, 2017 (Act 959) and the Office of the Special Prosecutor (Operations) Regulations, 2018 (L. I. 2374). The reaction I received for daring to produce the Agyapa Royalties Limited Transactions anti-corruption report convinces me beyond any reasonable doubt that I was not intended to exercise any independence as the Special Prosecutor in the prevention, investigation, prosecution, and recovery of assets of corruption. My position as the Special Prosecutor has consequently become clearly untenable. It is essential for me to state for the purpose of the records, and contrary to public perceptions, that my appointment letter was received on 5th February 2020 (almost two (2)-years after my appointment). The copy addressees made no efforts to honour any of the conditions of appointment in terms of emoluments and benefits of the appointment ever since my warrant of appointment was issued on 23rd February 2018 to the date of my letter of resignation. I accepted the offer on 10th January 2018 to be nominated to be Special Prosecutor because Mr. President and Ghanaians knew I have been an anti-corruption crusader all my life and not an anti-corruption entrepreneur. This explains why I have never put the emoluments and benefits of the Office as central to my commitment and my passion for the establishment of an independent, effective, efficient and impartial anti-corruption Office of the Special Prosecutor before the end of the first term of Mr. President. This has not been possible for several reasons. The Deputy Special Prosecutor has also not been paid any emoluments since her appointment, and there is the need to redress that situation for her now that I am out of the way. The events of 12th November 2020 removed the only protection I had from the threats and plans directed at me for undertaking the Agyapa Royalties Limited Transactions anti-corruption assessment report and dictates that I resign as the Special Prosecutor immediately. Fear is the enemy of change and I am prepared from the vacuum created on 12th November 2020 to meet the threats of my demise as the price to pay for serving my country without fear or favour affection or ill will. I acted professionally throughout in the discharge of my duties and my conscience is the anchor of my strength to face any consequences. I am grateful to every Ghanaian for both the support and criticisms during my tenure. When the real facts of my tenure become well known to the public in the future, history may judge me kindly. Ghana First! MARTIN A. B. K. AMIDU, ESQ Story by: Joshua Kwabena Smith

Did you know that one can actually faint after reaching orgasm during a sexual encounter? This assertion has now made it difficult for some persons to reach orgasm. Low blood sugar, intense sex, fatigue, and even anxiety may trigger fainting. People who pass out after an orgasm usually do not need to worry. 1. Vasovagal syncope Vasovagal syncope is the most common type of fainting. It happens when a person’s blood pressure suddenly drops, temporarily depriving the brain of oxygen, and it results in the person falling unconscious. It occurs when the vagus nerve, which regulates heart rate and blood vessel constriction temporarily loses normal regulation due to overstimulation. As a result, the blood vessels widen, blood pressure drops, and the person faints. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/breaking-news-j-j-rawlings-dies-at-73 2. Hyperventilation Hyperventilation during an orgasm or intense sexual activity can reduce the amount of oxygen flowing to the brain, which may cause a person to faint. People who feel anxious about sex may also hyperventilate during an orgasm or shortly afterward. Once a person’s breathing returns to normal, the risk of fainting passes. 3. Hunger and thirst Sometimes, sex or masturbation can temporarily distract a person from other physical needs, such as water and food. Intense sexual activity is a lot like aerobic exercise, also increasing a person’s need for water and oxygen. So, if a person does not drink enough water, they can become dehydrated and even pass out. Sexual pleasure may likewise distract a person from their hunger. Low blood sugar can cause fainting. The risk of fainting is higher in people with certain medical conditions, including those with diabetes on blood glucose-lowering medications.

Stress and anxiety While an orgasm itself might be pleasurable, the sensations surrounding it might not be. Some people feel anxious or ashamed about sex. Anxiety and stress can cause fainting in several ways. A person might hyperventilate, depriving the brain of oxygen. Anxiety may also cause vasovagal syncope, which causes a sudden drop in blood pressure. In some cases, anxiety may distract a person from their basic need for food or water, causing hunger- or dehydration-related fainting. 5. Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) causes too little blood to flow back to the heart when a person changes position, often when going from sitting or lying down to standing. Similar to vasovagal syncope, it can cause blood pressure to drop very low suddenly. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/entertainment-i-have-been-asked-not-to-mimic-late-rawlings-until-he-is-buried-clemento-suarez Following an orgasm, POTS can happen when a person stands, or if they changed position frequently or quickly during sex. Most people with POTS do not have an underlying medical condition, but some may have heart arrhythmias or circulation disorders. 6. Heart health problems Rarely, fainting may warn of a problem with the heart or the circulatory system. Some health issues may cause a person to pass out after orgasm. 7. Autoerotic asphyxiation Some people deliberately pass out during an orgasm or attempt to induce feelings of dizziness that lead to fainting. People may refer to this as autoerotic asphyxiation. People do it by trying to cut off their supply of oxygen or decrease blood flow to their brain. It is extremely dangerous and can even be lethal. If you did not know, then now you know. Will you still reach orgasm wen having sex with your partner or you will not? Credit: Medicalnewstoday.com

Ghana, a bastion of democracy on a troubled continent goes to the polls in three weeks time, but the sudden death of her longtime leader, Jerry John Rawlings this past week seems set to ensure that the controversial leader's image continues to loom large over the country at large and the upcoming polls even in death. Rawlings dominated political life in Ghana for almost two decades, coming on twice as a Military strongman and finally as a civilian leader. Growing up, I never though I would know any other leader apart from him, just like his friend and contemporary, the late Cuban leader,Fidel Castro,his stronghold over the country for most part of his rule ensured that he was an ever present feature in our consciousness. Images of the charismatic ruler in his favourite military fatigues, either taking part in communal activities with the citizenry,addressing the nation on pertinent national issues and reviewing national parades dominated the state owned print and electronic media. But a combination of factors and circumstances ensured that Rawlings returned the country to democracy. going on to rule as a democratic leader for eight of the toddling years of the fourth republic. His crowning glory came when he surprisingly ceded power to John Kufuor of the then opposition NPP, who had come out triumphant in elections held at the twilight of Rawlings's rule.this singular act by Rawlings boosted his international image and placed him in the exclusive league of the few African leaders who yielded power without compulsion. days to Rawlings' death,images of him in a very mournful and reflective mood at his mother's funeral dominated social media. They showed a man gutted and broken at the death of his beloved mum,an image hardly associated with the tough guy during his long years in national politics. Months to her death, Rawlings had spoken fondly of his mum in a wide ranging interview with Veteran Journalist, Kweku Sakyi-Addo. There would be another opportunity to dissect the impact of Rawlings on Ghana, without thought his impact was heavy and would be difficult to erase. For now one would hope that the calm that his death,as unfortunate as it is has foisted on the nation, will hold the desperate political elite in check as we head to the polls and ensure that they tone down the acidic political rhetoric in reverence to the departed statesman. The next few weeks will be telling! For now, may the soul of Jerry John Rawlings continue to rest in peace!
