The fact that it's generally accepted doesn't make it a fact. Our culture is loaded with myths and half-truths. Most are harmless. But when doctors start believing medical myths, perhaps it’s time to worry. The British Medical Journal looked into several common misconceptions and we present them as follows Myth: We use only 10 percent of our brains. Fact: Physicians and comedians alike, including Jerry Seinfeld, love to cite this one. It’s sometimes erroneously credited to Albert Einstein. But MRI scans, PET scans and other imaging studies show no dormant areas of the brain, and even viewing individual neurons or cells reveals no inactive areas, the new paper points out. Metabolic studies of how brain cells process chemicals show no nonfunctioning areas. The myth probably originated with self-improvement hucksters in the early 1900s who wanted to convince people that they had yet not reached their full potential, Carroll figures. It also doesn’t jibe with the fact that our ot...

Reverend Owusu Bempah says he has an issue with Ps Otabil over a viral sermon video where Otabil made some comments implying Christians tend to stop thinking when their faith increases. Rev Bempah accused Pastor Otabil of insulting Christians who pay large sums of money in church. "I respect Mensa Otabil a lot but I won’t have him call all prophets fake, there may be some fake prophets but the same way there are fake bible teachers too, he can’t put us all into one bracket,” he fumed. “Unless Mensa Otabil tells me that he takes money collected in his church to heaven, we all use the monies collected in the church for God’s work, I am asking him to apologize to Ghanaian Christians and prophets by Monday, if not he will have me to contend with,” he warned.

Dr. Mensa Otabil of ICGC in his sermon told believers at the Greater Works conference not to apply logic to matters of faith. The pastor told the congregation that belief can make all things possible. “Beliefs goes beyond logic. Logic will tell you what is probable or things being equal. Logic will tell you that if you have a thousand cedis in your account, then you can spend thousand cedis because that is logical. Beliefs will tell you that if you have five loafs of bread you don’t feed five people. “Belief will tell you that if you have five loafs of bread you can feed five thousand; that is not logical. Now, many times if we say we believe, we believe according to logic, so even what you are believing for is a just progression of logic,” he explained. “I want you to stretch your faith and you are going to believe according to what is written and what I want you to believe is He says all things are possible, I don’t know what that is to you but it is a blank cheque" he add...

Many "old" or conservative Ghanaians disapprove of Ebony’s sense of fashion. The talented musician is considered a bad girl. But her father, Nana Poku Kwarteng has no issue with his daughter showing off her body. Read his interview with graphic showbiz below. “I am supportive of anything my daughter does and anything she wears. I am not ashamed as a father, the truth is that, I choose what she wears and I bless her before she goes out to perform. Some Ghanaians are hypocrites and I am sorry but I am not one of them,” he said. Touching on how he feels when he hears of or reads negative things about his daughter, he said, “I am not bothered at all. The reason is simple, I know my daughter than anyone else. What people see out there is what we want them to see and that is because she is an artiste and needs a brand that will sell. “For God’s sake, she is a Dancehall artiste and she wears what will make her feel confident when performing on stage. Something that wil...
