]]> Eleven months after handing over power to President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, former President John Mahama has been opening up about some of the things that transpired after he handed over power.

In one of the revelations, the former President mentioned that, his nine-year old daughter, Farida Mahama, was very happy that he lost the December 7 general elections.

According to John Mahama, his daughter was excited because she will be seeing him [Mahama] more often.

John Mahama said whilst he served in the highest office of the land, he hardly saw his daughter because he comes home late and leaves very early the following day, adding that sometimes he goes a whole week without seeing Farida.

Former President John Dramani Mahama made the revelation on Thursday when he delivered a lecturer during a graduation ceremony at the Institute of Security Studies in Abuja, Nigeria.

No office to go to

Mahama at the ceremony said: “I remember the day after I had handed over – this was the 8th of January – I woke up in the morning and remembered there was no Office to go to.”

“So, I relaxed in my bed and turned on the TV, watching CNN.I spent the whole day watching TV at the time Donald Trump was the President-elect, and they were going through the transition, waiting to hand over; so, I just kept watching what was going on,” he added.

I’m happy you lost

The former president said whilst he was cooling off, his 9-year-old daughter who he barely spent time with as President, enquired why he was still at home and had not gone to work.

“My daughter, Farida, who had gone to school in the morning, arrived in the afternoon. She found me lying in bed which was unusual, because when I was President we could go a whole week without seeing each other.”

“She leaves the house early in the morning to be able to get to school on time, by which time I probably had not gotten out of bed. She gets back home late afternoon and I am in the Office and I get back in the night when she is asleep. So, we could go the whole week without seeing each other. For the first time, she came back from school and there I was lying on my bed and watching television.”

Below is what ensued between John Mahama and his daughter:

Farida:  Daddy, didn’t you go to the Office?

John Mahama: No, don’t you remember that I handed over to President Akufo-Addo yesterday?

Farida: OK; so it means you are not going to the Office anymore?

John Mahama:  No, I have no Office to go to

Farida: Then I am happy!  So will I be coming home from school and meeting you in the house?

John Mahama: Yes

Farida: Then I am very happy that you lost the elections!

International assignment:

The former President also noted that, ever since he left office, he has also been preoccupied with international assignments, speaking at different fora, including mediating the political impasse in The Gambia as well as monitoring elections in Kenya and Liberia.

Some celebrities never crack under the pressure of public criticism. Some even prove a harder nut to crack; they don’t give a hoot when lies, downright negative lies, are spun around them. They take everything in their stride and go about their normal business. One such person is TV presenter, Afia Schwarzenegger.

For several weeks now, Afia has been at the recieving end of various undesirable stories that could otherwise ruin her career.

First, it was rumoured that she was HIV positive and then later, she was said to be pregnant with a man who was not her husband.

The latest scandal has been the appearance of her supposed nude picture which has been circulating in social media circles.

“It is about time people got to know that I am not moved by negative stories. Afia Schwarzenegger is bigger than such silly stuff. Anyone who seeks my downfall will never succeed because God is with me all the time” she told Showbiz on Monday.

Afia said whoever was trying to destroy her was rather making her popular. “I am rather becoming popular because of the negative stories. I may be crazy but I have my limits. I have never been pregnant with any man who is not my husband. I am not HIV positive and  the said nude picture is not me”.

According to Afia Schwarzenegger, if the negative stories were even true, they would not  stop her from doing what she does.

“If even I was HIV positive and pregnant, I would still have carried on with my duties. My naked picture will not stop me from doing my job. Yes, I am the crazy Afia Schwarzenegger and I am not moved by silly pranks.”

Asked why anyone would want to bring her down, Afia Schwarzenegger said: “I’m aware of the people who want to bring me down because some of them have walked up to me and told me they would do whatever it takes to bring me down.

I have been attacked spiritually in the past and when it failed, they now want to attack me physically. I am growing stronger every day because I serve a living God.

“I would encourage my enemies to stop wasting their time on me and rather build their careers because I am making big time money with the kind of stories they put out there,” she said.

Afia revealed that she is the type who spends more time with her family and has few friends due to the way she was brought up.

“Only few people know my true person  because I am noted to be the crazy Afia Schwarzenegger. On my other side, I am a very responsible person.  The sky is my limit and I encourage my fans to support me and not to be discouraged by the stories they read or hear about me,” she said.
