In a video message shared on its X page on Saturday, the commission said it had observed that some individuals were using its identity in online content without approval. It stated, “It has come to the attention of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission that some individuals and content creators are using the name, logo and likeness of EFCC in skits and other media content.”

It further clarified its position on endorsements, stating, “The EFCC does not endorse, sponsor or approve any comedy, drama or online content that uses our identity without written consent.”

NOT HAVING S£X FIVE TIMES A WEEK CAN LEAD TO MENTAL DISORDER

Image
Claims circulate online suggesting that not having sex several times a week can lead to mental disorders. However, scientific research does not support a specific number or frequency of sexual activity required for mental health. What studies do show is that positive physical intimacy and emotional connection can influence mood through the release of certain brain chemicals. During intimate moments, the body may release Dopamine, Serotonin, and Oxytocin, which are associated with pleasure, emotional bonding, and stress reduction. These neurochemicals interact with the brain’s Reward System, which plays a role in motivation, mood regulation, and feelings of wellbeing. Because of this, healthy relationships and emotional closeness can contribute to improved mental wellbeing. However, mental health is influenced by many factors, including sleep, stress, social support, genetics, and lifestyle. There is no medical guideline stating that a certain number of sexual encounters per...

"WHEN YOU PAY CONTRACTORS EVERYONE BENEFITS INCLUDING SIDE CHICKS" -- PRESIDENT OF GHANA

Image
President John Mahama has sparked conversation after pointing to the role of “side ch+cks” in the wider flow of money following contractor payments. “When the contractors get paid, they go and buy a Land Cruiser for themselves, car dealers also benefit,” he said. Mahama went further to stress that the spending extends into personal relationships, adding, “And even their spouses, the wives, and the side ch+cks also benefit. Because when they are paid and they get something, they give their wives and side ch+cks, you know, some of the money. In his remarks, Mahama noted that when contractors receive funds, part of that money is often shared beyond official households, extending to romantic partners outside marriage. He stressed that this stream of spending should not be ignored, as it contributes to economic activity in subtle but impactful ways. According to him, once these partners  receive money, it quickly circulates through everyday services supporting businesses suc...
