Ken Yeboah added that a military officer and a young girl also died in the ghastly accident involving the black Jeep car of the musician.

“No one in the bus was dead or injured but occupants of the Jeep vehicle were hurt. The passengers told us the accident involved another car and that a soldier and a small girl were trapped in the vehicle. We called fire service from Bechem and when they came they were incapacitated so they relied on their colleagues in Sunyani who managed to open the mangled vehicle before they could retrieve the bodies. I saw her she was the Ebony we know.”

The District commander for Mankraso Superintendent John Adusei, in the Ashanti Region, confirmed the development to Accra-based Joy FM.

<h1>Try asking someone for money in the middle of the month and the response will be “I’m broke oooo” or “do you know today’s date?”</h1>

Often times many workers who receive a monthly salary are broke from 15th of the month. It even gets worse when we get to 25th till the last day of the month.

Just pray your employer does not delay payment for some days. That is when you see people eating moderately and using coins more than the notes.

Here are some reasons why you are broke by mid-month

• You do not budget

Most of the people do not plan financially. If you budget for the month you will know how much to spend each day. You will even be able to save for the future and also live a happier life.

• Impulse buying

Yes! You do this a lot. In the first week, you receive your salary the ladies especially buy new clothes, shoes and other accessories they don’t necessarily need. Some men also pay for a lot more electronic gadgets they live without.

The next time you decide to engage in unplanned buying just think through very well. It will leave you with no money by the middle of the month and you may go borrowing.

You borrowed in the previous month when you were broke. Now you need to pay back with about half of your monthly salary. The cycle continues if you do not make a change. You don’t want to be broke forever so you need to break the cycle.

When you join a trotro with your friends you are not obliged to pay for them. When you go to the mall or any other place on Friday or weekends with friends or family share the cost and pay.

Don’t buy all the clothes, makeup and electronic gadgets in vogue just to belong to a certain circle. It does not pay.

Do not show off. You are not Bank of Ghana (BoG).

• Dependency ratio

Manage the number of people who depend on you. I agree sometimes you cannot determine the number of people who depend on you but you can decide the amount you give them.

You can also encourage to engage in small businesses in order to reduce the financial burden on you.

• Low minimum wage

The current minimum wage in Ghana is currently GHC 8.80. In January 2018, it will be <a href="http://www.pulse.com.gh/news/ghanaian-worker-daily-minimum-wage-increased-by-10-id6980575.html" id="c50b1460-048c-50cc-8671-8776fc5de16f">increased</a> to GHC 9.68.

Currently, the minimum wage for each month is GHC 264, from January 2018 the minimum wage will be GHC 290

How can someone who owns a vehicle or joins trotro to work, eat three-square meals a day, cater for a family or dependents and do other needed things with such an amount? Over to you government.

<h1>We all agree that in Ghana now the salary from one job is not enough to sustain you till the next paycheck is ready.</h1>

Everybody has been looking out for other avenues to earn some extra money in order to survive in Ghana.

Here are some ways to you can make an extra income while you still work your regular job.

• Ask for a raise

Why don’t you start by asking for a raise? According to compensation data company PayScale, 75 percent of workers who negotiate their salaries get pay raises. However, less than half of workers have asked for raises.

You can invest in treasury bills, bonds and shares. You must access your long-term financial goals and the degree of risks before purchasing any investment instrument. You can speak to an investment adviser or officer who can help you choose the best policy which will give you the best returns.

• Entrepreneurship

Start your own side business. You can do that business after you close from your regular job or on weekends. Some businesses that can be done include retailing, photography, sewing, graphic designing, starting a food business etc.

Instead of spending before saving the left over, do the vice versa. Save first and spend what is left. You can have a separate account for saving only where you issue a standing order so you do not even touch the money at all. Also check interest rates before saving with a bank.

• Spend less than you receive

We all agree that sometimes we spend on items we do not need or use our salaries unwisely especially in the first week we receive it. Budget your spending so that you know how much you are using, remember to save before you start spending.

<h1>The Tamale police is looking for a group of attackers suspected to have strangled to death a 12-year-old Nigerian girl after gang raping her on Tuesday at Ggblo-Kpalsi in the Northern Region.</h1>

The police narrated that the victim was on her way to her parents’ store after closing from school when the incident occurred.

The residents in the area heard the noise and called the police thinking it was a robbery incident.

“The information first came as a robbery incident so police quickly dispatched a team to Ggblo Kpalsi. Police arrived at the scene timeously and we met some eye witnesses at the said suburb of Tamale but it turned out to be a homicide scene; because a 12-year-old girl was gang raped and later strangled to death,” ASP Tetteh said.

A colourful scarf was found tightly clutched around her neck and it is suspected the object was used in the murder.

The police say they suspect a contract killing or the attackers killed the victim to conceal their identity and crime after realising they may be exposed.

“So far we have not arrested any suspect but we are suspecting that is either a contract killing or the parents of this particular young lady might had problems with somebody and the person wanted to extend their anger on this young innocent girl or the third scenario could be that during the act she might have identified some of these suspects and just to cover up they decided to strangle her to death,” ASP Tetteh suggested.

The outgoing Public Relations Officer of the Northern Regional Police Command ASP Ebenezer Tetteh said the attackers caught the Nigerian girl and took her to an abandoned structure where they committed the atrocity and fled.
