The emotional labour of concession
Concession speeches are often seen as mere formalities of defeat. This study argues they are potent tools of emotional governance. Through a critical discourse analysis of Mahamudu Bawumia’s 2024 concession speech in Ghana, we demonstrate how emotive language is strategically deployed to manage post-election turbulence. In a climate of acute political tension, Bawumia’s rhetoric deliberately countered public ambivalence, despair, and animosity by…
Verbal attacks on Ghanaian traditional leaders on an online news platform
The aim of this paper is to analyse verbal attacks targeting three prominent Ghanaian traditional leaders in comments on news articles published on GhanaWeb. The paper relies on appraisal theory, social actor analysis, and the theory of impoliteness to qualitatively analyse a number of purposively selected comments on the subject, published on the news website in 2022.

This study examines the factors associated with the number and timing of ANC visits among married women in Cameroon using data from the 2018 Cameroon Demographic and Health Survey. The outcome variables were number of ANC visits, categorized as…

Gender Variation in the Writings of Ghanaian Colleges of Education Students
This study explored the differences in the writings produced by both male and female students in colleges of education in Ghana with respect to syntactic complexity. The study was based on a corpus of two hundred examination essays which were collected from two hundred students in Assin Fosu, Wesley and Presbyterian colleges of education who took the English language Studies course (FDC 211) in 2018/2019 academic year. The study adopted a descrip…
Self-reported sexually transmitted infections among sexually active men in Ghana
The study has revealed a relatively low prevalence of self-reported STI among sexually active men in Ghana. Sexually active men aged 25-34 years, those whose age at first sex is below 20 years and those with two or more sexual partners apart from their spouse had higher odds of reporting STIs. However, reading a newspaper was found to be positive in reducing the odds of reporting STIs. To reduce STIs among sexually active men in Ghana, it is impo…
Proximate, intermediate, and distal predictors of under-five mortality in Chad
The study found that the determinants of under-five mortality in Chad are region of residence, place of residence, ethnicity, education, sex of child, and birth rank. These findings show that both socio-economic and proximate factors explain the disparities in under-five mortality in Chad. The identification of these factors can be pivotal towards the design of evidence-based interventions intended to improve child survival. Therefore, improving …
A multi-country cross-sectional study of self-reported sexually transmitted infections among sexually active men in sub-Saharan Africa
STIs prevalence across the selected countries in SSA showed distinct cross-country variations. Current findings suggest that STIs intervention priorities must be given across countries with high prevalence. Several socio-demographic factors predicted SR-STIs. To reduce the prevalence of STIs among SAM in SSA, it is prudent to take these factors (e.g., age, condom use, employment status, HIV/AIDS knowledge) into consideration when planning health …
Barriers to accessing healthcare among women in Ghana
This study shows that individual and contextual factors are significant in predicting barriers in healthcare access in Ghana. The factors identified include age, marital status, employment, health insurance coverage, frequency of listening to radio, frequency of watching television, wealth status, and region of residence. These findings highlight the need to pay critical attention to these factors in order to achieve the Sustainable Development G…
Individual and contextual factors associated with disposal of children’s stools in Papua New Guinea
Both individual and contextual factors predict unsafe disposal of children's faeces in Papua New Guinea. It is recommended that sanitation programs should focus on behavioral change and not only on the extension of water and improved toilet facilities. Such programs should also focus on both individual and contextual factors of women
