For a while now I have been seeing this headline "John Mahama, father of Nadia Buari's twins" trending on social media -- and honestly I do not know which thick-headed blogger decided to start this ridiculous hoax. I haven't had time to read the story itself since it's obvious that it's a hoax. What I'm worried about is how a lot of readers have been deceived into believing that the story is actually true. With some lazy bloggers also copying the same "crap" and spreading the lies all over. The truth is Nadia Buari gave birth to twins as it was confirmed by her adopted father, but we still can't be sure who indeed owns the girls -- only Nadia Buari can point to us who the father of her children is -- and to even link such an act to the sitting President of Ghana is disrespect and who ever came out with such a story should be charged/sued with defamation of character.These are the kind of people who are giving journalism in Ghana a bad name and people keep saying we are not serious.
Another ridiculous story going around is that the Bank of Ghana is about to roll out new GHc100, GHc200 and GHc30 cedi notes. In addition to this ridiculous claim, that person also craftily made copies of the said notes which was also trending on social media this week.
As much as I admire his/her creativity, I would like to draw your attention to this that -- BoG which is the central bank of Ghana, has not issued nor has any intentions of issuing new cedi notes anytime soon. If they decide to do so, they will propagate their intentions through Radio and TV stations and not facebook or twitter. So my dear readers, beware of what you read, because what you read is who you are.
