Friday is here again, so let's recap the week.

It's almost all been about Talensi and the by-elections, hasn't it? The actual polls happened on Tuesday, but we started the week with an in-depth analysis of the contest for this otherwise insignificant seat which suddenly became vacant when the sitting MP went off and became a chief, leaving the NPP one parliamentarian short.

Suddenly, all political parties had an unexpected opportunity to make use of their long-dormant election erections, and of course, the not-so-maidenly virtue of Talensi became the target for every sweet-talking politician in the nation, including El Presidente himself, who wooed her with his practiced lyrics at a rally over the weekend.

Nana Akufo-Addo and the NPP held their own courtship session with a rally of their own. So did the PNC and the CPP, who fielded one joint candidate. Dr Nduom's PPP were there in their strong numbers too, hoping that their suitor would be the one Talensi would invite into her not-so-soft and velvety folds.

Enough of the erotic imagery.

The by-election happened on Tuesday, and the NDC's B.T. Baba, a former Chairman of the Ghana Olympic Committee, among other previously donned and doffed hats, was announced winner by the electoral commission. The NPP came second after the count, and the PNC/CPP came in a very close third, with only nine votes between them.

The whole thing would have gone off without a hitch if not for a sudden explosion of violence late in the afternoon. Now, I would have concluded that this violence was election-related - and I suppose in a certain basic way, it is, since all the factions were in town because of the contest - but the fights did not happen at the polling stations. They happened at party headquarters, at a time when the actual voting was winding down. Essentially, several political parties found themselves together in one town, so they fought. That's it. Nothing more sophisticated than that.

So this is the political landscape of Ghana now? We belong to different political parties, so whenever we meet, we must shoot and butcher each other, mustn't we? Yep. Makes perfect sense. I mean how can a person who has a different opinion from me be allowed to live?

On Wednesday, we talked a little more about this. These groups - Azorka Boys, Bolga Bulldogs, and Invincible Forces - are they even legal? Is there not a process by which armed security forces are to be established in this country? Must they not be established by an act of parliament?

Well, if anyone would know the answer to this question, surely, it would be the Interior Minister, Mr Mark Woyongo. Well, when a colleague journalist asked him about it, his answer was "violence begets violence. He suggested that his party's security group, the Azorka Boys, were attacked, and so they retaliated. I'm not entirely sure how that makes them a legally formed entity, but Mr Woyongo, who is also a member of parliament - a lawmaker seemed to think that "violence begets violence" is a reasonable explanation for armed attacks by an illegally formed security force. Do you agree?

Other issues this week include trouble in Bimbila, where some traditional meat rituals were being circumvented by butchers.

We also heard of the hunter who shot an armed robber and helped apprehend members of his group. The police handed him a cash reward for his efforts and invited the press to photograph and publish the man's image and details. We asked whether this wasn't a risk to his safety.

Also, we discussed the government's plans to enforce higher TV Licence tarriffs. Is there even a place for TV Licensing in a country where our national broadcaster is a commercial station? Besides, they are already the most resourced TV station in the country. Is it really a lack of funds that is responsible for their often-criticized quality of output?

Today, we're ending the week with some important conversations. West Blue is in the headlines again. The man who sues the government every chance he gets will be here to tell us about his plans to sue them again over the West Blue contract. Also, Uncle Ebo Whyte joins us to answer one simple question: does distance increase the chances of infidelity?

It's Friday. Let's have some fun while we consume crucial content on the Nation's favourite Breakfast, the Super Morning Show.

My name is Kojo Yankson, and this week has been all about Talensi and TV Licensing.

GOOD MORNING, GHANAFO!
