No concerned citizen of this country can deny the fact that the perennial Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) shortage in the country since 2009 is leaving severe untold hardships on the good people of this country. This has come about as a result of the disruption of many small scale businesses in the country not to mention the inconveniences that the households nationwide are experiencing for lack of what is commonly referred to as gas. I was moved to write this article when I made several unsuccessful attempts to find and buy gas to finish cooking my light “Aponkye Nkrakra” which was left half-way on my cooker for shortage of gas after a hard day’s work.

Japan international midfielder Shinji Kagawa has opened talks with German champions Borussia Dortmund with the intention of signing an extension to his current contract that runs out in the summer of 2013.

Kagawa, who joined Dortmund from Cerezo Osaka for €350,000 £310,000 last summer, proved an instant hit in his first six months in Germany. He now wants to put his future on a more secure footing, in the wake of reported interest from several foreign teams, including Manchester United.

“We have already had an initial conversation with Dortmund director of football Michael Zorc,” Kagawa’s agent Thomas Kroth told Bild.

“Both parties are interested in a longer-term contract.”

Kroth also said that the 22-year-old is eagerly waiting for the 2011-12 season.

He added: “Shinji is really looking forward to the new campaign and the great atmosphere in the Signal-Iduna-Park. The contract talks will probably resume sometime during pre-season.”

Kagawa, who scored eight league goals in his first season, made a substitute appearance in Dortmund’s final Bundesliga game against Eintracht Frankfurt having been out since January with a broken foot.
