“The number you pick during balloting will be your position” – ElBernard tells Ken face-to-face

0

Prophet Bernard ElBernard Nelson-Eshun, the General Overseer of Spiritlife Revival Ministries, has boldly told Ken Agyapong face-to-face that he would become the New Patriotic Party flagbearer for the 2028 election.

According to Prophet Bernard ElBernard Nelson-Eshun, the same angel who revealed to him all his successful prophecies he had made in the past revealed to him that the former Assin Central MP would win the NPP presidential primaries.

Speaking at Ken’s National Praise 2026, United in Praise, at the University of Professional Studies, Accra, Prophet Bernard ElBernard Nelson-Eshun stated, “It was this same angel that, when I met the Ga Mantse, when he was sitting in a church in Kumasi — Family Chapel — in the congregation, instructed me to call him, and I picked him, and the angel said, ‘Tell the Ga Mantse, there will be a day he will come and rule as the government of the people of Accra.’

“His Excellency, it is the same angel of God that, in a service in Ghana, when I saw two ladies in the service and I called them out, and I mentioned the name Laurent Gbagbo, and I said the Lord said their mother, who has been sentenced to a prison term of over 20 years, will not even spend three years in jail. Their mother will come out of jail, and when their mother is out, their father will come out from the International Criminal Court,” he said.

“His Excellency, it is the same angel that told me that John Dramani Mahama will come and become His Excellency, the President of the Republic of Ghana. His Excellency, it is the same angel that made me speak to the current Inspector General of Police that in 2025 a new government will be in power, and in less than four months after they are in power, he shall be made the IGP. It is the same angel that made me speak to Dr Gideon Boako that there are two elections ahead of him. One is a primary. He will win, and he will win the main election. And in 2025, he will be in the Parliament of Ghana,” he said.

“It is the same angel who has made me consistently speak about your coming. Today, the angel said I should tell you face to face that ‘on January 31, 2026, the number you pick during balloting that has made this (pointing a finger in the air) as your symbol after the election, this will be your position’.”

Meanwhile, some other Ghanaian prophets have been left divided following their conflicting 2026 prophecies regarding the New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential election on January 31, 2026.

Some Ghanaian prophets have revealed that the former vice president and NPP flagbearer for the 2024 elections, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, will emerged victories; others also stressed that Kennedy Agyapong, the former Assin Central MP, will be declared victorious.

In the short 32-second video compilation of the Prophets prophets shared on social media, Prophet Roja stated, “Kennedy has won the election handsdown”.

Nigel Gaisie also stated, “I saw Dr Bawumia take it”.

Also, the General Overseer of Spiritlife Revival Ministries, Prophet Bernard Elbernard Nelson-Eshun, said, “Bawumia will not lead the New Patriotic Party”.

Prophet Elijah King, “I saw Bawumia as the winner of the NPP presidential seat”.

Subsequently, another man of God in the video stated, “I saw Hon Ken leading the NPP to become president”.

Rev Owusu Bempah added, “ Dr Bawumia say he wants to be president in this country, we shall see?”

Prophet Eric Boahen Uche, commonly known as Prophet Uche, the Founder-Leader of Creator’s House Chapel, maintained, “ I saw Bawumia winning the primaries”.

US captures Venezuela’s President Maduro and wife 

0

President Donald Trump has announced the US has carried out a large-scale strike on the capital city of Caracas, capturing Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife.

According to President Trump, the Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife were captured and flown out of the country.

Donald Trump, in a post, stated, “ The United States of America has successfully carried out a large-scale strike against Venezuela and its leader,  President Nicolas Maduro, who has been, along with his wife, captured and flown out of the country.

This operation was done in conjunction with the U.S. Law Enforcement”.

The post further revealed, “Details to follow. There will be a News Conference today at 11 A.M, at Mar-a-Lago. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President Donald J. Trump”.

Reports emerging around the situation suggests the US has, for years, accused Nicolas Maduro of “drug trafficking and narco-terrorism — linking him to criminal networks that export illegal drugs, especially fentanyl, into the United States; corruption and repression — claiming his government is illegitimate, unfairly rigged elections, and has jailed political opponents; threat to US security and regional stability — including designating Venezuelan criminal organizations as foreign terrorist groups”.

“The US Justice Department previously indicted Maduro on federal charges, and the Trump administration offered a reward of up to $50 million for information leading to his arrest”.

Meanwhile, reports from CNN have earlier revealed several explosions in Caracas and reported that some areas of the city were without electricity.

CNN stated, “The first blast was recorded at approximately 1.50 AM local time on Saturday (0.50 AM ET).

Trump has repeatedly warned that the US is preparing to take new action against alleged drug trafficking networks in Venezuela.

The Venezuelan Defence Minister Vladimir Padrino López had earlier said the US attack on Saturday impacted urban areas across Venezuela, with missiles and rockets fired from American combat helicopters.

He said Venezuela is currently gathering information about the number of people killed and wounded, and confirmed the Fort Tiuna military installation in Caracas was attacked.

Lopez insisted the country would resist the presence of foreign troops in the country”.

“This invasion represents the greatest outrage the country has suffered,” he added.

Some netizens reacting to Donald Trump’s post stated, “The US has done what it wanted and needed, though in 2026, why is a legitimate country being attacked for Oil? Surely can’t win a peace prize doing this?”.

Another stated, “Thank you, President Trump, for your leadership & resolve and to our brave service members who have conducted a stellar military operation.

Praying this is the beginning of freedom and democracy for #Venezuela.

Our community is forever grateful & our country is safer than ever!”.

“We are not at war” – Afenyo-Markin on disagreement in Parliament

0

Alexander Kwamena Afenyo-Markin, the Minority Leader in Parliament, has clarified that the heated exchanges witnessed in Parliament.

According to Afenyo-Markin, the heated exchanges should not be mistaken for anger but rather are a way the MPs express their disagreements as part of democratic process.

Speaking in a video shared by GraphicOnline on X on Thursday, January 1, 2026, he explained, “Don’t think that we are fighting. It is only our way of expressing disagreement. We are not at war in Parliament; we are only expressing our disagreements”.

“That’s why when there’s chaos, you see calmness the next day in Parliament. So, if you go and fight, you are fighting your own trouble, so don’t fight,” he emphasised.

Some Ghanaians reacting to Afenyo-Markin’s comment stated, “That is not how to express disagreement. Stop the gaslighting and take responsibility for the indiscipline you and your colleagues are leading in parliament. Lead by example”.

“I like how Hon. Edem Agbana is closer to Hon. Afenyo. Afenyo is one fine guy you can associate yourself with if you want to drive infrastructure and employment in your constituency”, a netizen added.

A netizen quizzed, “Expressing disagreement by leading your dishonest colleagues to destroy state properties? Is vandalism a disagreement? Ghanaians are asking you”.

One last X user added, “The main concern of well-meaning Ghanaians is the reckless behaviour of the minority members, to the extent of destroying state properties and frequently disrespecting parliamentary leadership”.

Meanwhile, an aide to former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, Dennis Miracles Aboagye, has said every chaos in parliament is on the head of the Speaker Bagbin.

Dennis Miracles Aboagye accused Speaker Bagbin of being biased, partisan, unjust and not transparent.

According to Miracles Aboagye, the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, is the worst Speaker Ghana has had since 1992.

He further urges the NDC to ‘end their delusions’ and focus on delivering the governance Ghanaians voted for.

Speaking on Asempa FM, Dennis Miracles Aboagye claimed, “Bagbin remains the worst Speaker of Parliament since 1992. He is biased, partisan, unjust and not transparent, and all he does is skirmish. Every chaos is parliament is on the head of the speaker. He is the one who must maintain order in the chamber, but because of his inconsistency…”

He cited the Speaker’s conduct during the 8th parliament and the 9th parliament, arguing that the Speaker turned the 8th parliament into a nursery because of his skirmishes.

Miracles Aboagye added, “What happened in the 8th parliament is what we are seeing in the 9th parliament. We saw parliament turned into a nursery, and it all happened under this same speaker because of his skirmishes. He’s unable to make firm decisions. How can the Speaker of the House move a motion in the midst of chaos?

That is not leadership; that is you supporting impunity. You did it in the 8th Parliament when the NPP has majority, and you are doing it in the 9th Parliament, and it is time to call the Speaker out, let him know that he is responsible for the House. So if the House is in chaos, it is on his head and nobody else”.

2 dead, 21 injured as a bus carrying Adom Kyei’s Church members crashes

0

Two people have been killed and 21 others injured after a church bus carrying Adom Kyei’s Church members crashed.

According to reports, the tragic incident occurred on the Assin Fosu–Kumasi highway on the night of January 1, 2025.

The crash occurred around 9:00 p.m. when a church-branded bus returning worshippers from a 31st Night service in Kumasi rammed into a crowd gathered for a street parade at Assin Dansame.

The bus, upon reaching Assin Dansame, collided with a crowd participating in a street parade, killing a 21-year-old apprentice and a Sunyani Technical University student, Maame Yaa, and another victim who died on the spot.

Reports suggest 21 other people sustained various degrees of injury and were rushed to different hospitals across the region.

The information gathered suggests the accident sparked outrage among residents, which led to the youths vandalising the bus.

The bus was completely destroyed; however, the Police were deployed to restore calm.

ASP Wonder Lumor of the Central North Regional MTTD Commander confirmed the incident.

He revealed investigations have been launched to determine the cause of the crash.

Some netizens reacting to the news stated, “The rising accidents on the Accra–Kumasi road have become a serious public canker. It’s hard to tell what leadership is doing, but urgent, thorough investigations must be launched and the real causes addressed immediately. No human life is too small”.

One X user added, “The entire Ghana arterial roads needed to be reconstructed. Our road lacks engineering capacity. Hence, it has become a graveyard. Citizens need to hold present and past governments accountable. Simply, politicians had done more harm than good to Ghana”.

“Ghanaians and their fake pastors. They all didn’t see this, but will be busy predicting who will win the NPP flagbearership. Confused charlatans. How can grown adults be so easily deceived? It’s actually very crazy”, one netizen added.

An additional X user added, “Fosu Road is no joke oo…lots of parked trailers on the road. Timber long vehicles thread that road often, tricky curves with no sight of incoming vehicles till you are in front of it. Before you reach your destination, you will shout, “Jesus,” at least 5 times before you get there”

Over 25% increase in academic fees caused by SRC, GRASAG – UG Management

0

The management of the University of Ghana (UG) has explained that the over 25% increase in academic fees for the 2025/2026 academic year is due to the Students’ Representative Council (SRC) and the Graduate Students’ Association of Ghana (GRASAG).

According to the management of the University of Ghana, the fee hike is attributed to fees imposed by the SRC and GRASAG to support their activities.

The  UG management urged students to communicate their grievances to their respective student leadership bodies.

Speaking to Citi News, the Pro Vice-Chancellor of the University of Ghana, Professor Gordon Awandare, stated, “What is being reported as fee increases relates to third-party fees imposed by student leadership. These are fees approved through their own governance structures and communicated to students over two weeks ago.

University management did not impose these fees. If students have issues with these charges, they should take them up with their SRC or GRASAG leadership. These fees are meant to support student programmes and activities”.

He added, “When you look at the fees about GHS2000 for an entire academic year at Ghana’s premier university, it is difficult to describe them as excessive. Utilities and operational costs have increased significantly, yet university fees have largely remained unchanged since 2022.

Even the students themselves recognise that the previous fee levels were no longer realistic under current economic conditions, which is why they have adjusted their component of the fees to match the cost of running their activities.” he said.

His comments follow news of the provisional schedule of academic fees for University of Ghana students for the 2025/26 academic year, which shows a substantial upward adjustment.

According to the provisional schedule of academic fees, the adjustments affect both fresh and continuing students.

The 2025/2026 academic year fee increase sees students paying over 25 per cent more across all colleges.

Firstly, at the College of Humanities, “approved fees indicate that Level 100 students will pay GH¢3,110 for the 2025/26 academic year, representing a 34 per cent increase from the GH¢2,319 charged in the 2024/25 academic year. Continuing students at the college will pay GH¢2,253, reflecting a 27 per cent increase from the previous GH¢1,777”.

Also, the University of Ghana School of Law freshers are paying an increase of 33 per cent. “University of Ghana School of Law, undergraduate freshers under the College of Humanities will pay GH¢3,226, a 33 per cent increase from GH¢2,435 last academic year. Continuing law students will also see their fees rise from GH¢1,890 to GH¢2,396”.

Subsequently, “Health Sciences, Basic and Applied Sciences, and Education, have also recorded fee hikes ranging between 25 and 35 per cent. The increases have generated agitation among students and parents, many of whom say the changes were introduced without prior notice”.

Additionally, there has been a rise in third-party fees. In the 2024/25 academic year, third-party fees stood at GH¢255 but have now been increased to GH¢767 for freshmen and GH¢455 for continuing students.

The breakdown includes,

“SRC Hostel Development Levy – GHS 300

75th Anniversary Legacy Project – GHS 100

SRC Welfare – GHS 50

Reprographic Fees – GHS 5

Telecel Data (optional for continuing students)”

“Don’t know exactly what my boy’s crime is” – Sarkodie breaks silence on Ebo Noah’s arrest

Ghanaian rapper Sarkodie has broken his silence on the arrest of self-acclaimed modern-day Noah, Evans Eshun, commonly known as Ebo Noah.

According to him, he does not know what exactly Ebo Noah’s crime is that led to his arrest, adding that from day one, he knew Ebo Noah was just making content.

Sarkodie, in a post on his Instagram story, wrote, “Don’t know exactly what my boy’s crime is, but from day one I knew he was making content, unless he’s been charged with something else,”

In court, the Self-acclaimed prophet Evans Eshun, commonly known as Ebo Noah, has been remanded into police custody.

Ebo Noah was earlier spotted at the Adenta Circuit Court in handcuffs following his arrest.

He was arrested by the GPS Special Cyber Vetting Team on December 31, 2025, after his viral video claiming God would destroy the world with a flood on December 25, 2025.

In a viral video shared on X, Ebo Noah was spotted by excuted to court by officers of the CID.

Ebo Noah is facing charges of false communication, deliberately misleading the public, and publishing false news intended to cause fear and panic.

He was remanded into police custody for two weeks, following the adjournment of court proceedings at the Adentan Circuit Court.

The court has also ordered a psychiatric evaluation of the suspect at the Pantang Psychiatric Hospital, before his next appearance in court.

The case was subsequently adjourned to January 16, 2026.

It will be recalled that Ebo Noah, in a viral video, had claimed he received divine instruction that God had warned him that the world would end on December 25, 2025.

He claimed he had been instructed by God to build the ark to rescue souls who wished to be saved.

However, Ebo Noah later claimed that after intercession, God had given him some more time to build more arks.

According to Ebo Noah, looking at the number of people coming all over the country, the ark could not contain the numbers.

In a viral video update, Ebo Noah claimed he received a fresh vision in which he saw large numbers alleging that the ark was unable to contain the influx of people.

Speaking in the viral video, Ebo Noah warned Ghanaians not to rush to any location but stay in their houses and enjoy Christmas.

Ebo Noah stated, “And through my prayers, I got another vision and, in the vision, when you look at the number of people coming all over the country all over the world into the ark the expansion of the ark couldn’t contain them, so I shared my vision to some great men of God who also interceded with me.

“After the intercession, God has given us some time to build more arks in addition to the tent that will contain all of us, so tomorrow nobody should rush to any location. I am not selling tickets, I am not taking money from anyone, so please stay home, enjoy yourself, “he said.

Agradaa will be released from prison – Nigel Gaisie

0

Prophet Nigel Gaisie, the Founder and Leader of Prophetic Hill Chapel, has revealed that Nana Agradaa, also known as Evangelist Mama Pat, will be released from prison.

Agradaa is serving a 15-year jail term after she was sentenced for two counts of defrauding by false pretences.

She was sentenced by Her Honour Evelyn Asamoah of the Circuit Court.

Agradaa was also fined GH¢300 for one count of charlatanic advertisement, with a 30-day custodial sentence in default of payment.

Her charges stem from a televised advertisement she aired in 2022.

In the ad, Agradaa claimed she has the power to double the money for her congregants at the Godsway International Heaven Church, misleading them into surrendering their money during an all-night church service at her Weija-based ministry in Accra.

The Judge, Evelyn Asamoah, highlighted that Agradaa skilfully executed the offences and showed no remorse during proceedings.

Speaking to his congregants during his church’s December 31, 2025, Watch Night service, Nigel Gaisie stated Agradaa would be release but he does not know when or how it is going to happen.

He stated, “I saw Agradaa’s release. I don’t know how it’s going to happen. On December 22, I was sleeping, and the Lord carried me into a vision. Then I saw, and I heard on the radio in a local language that she had been released.

“So when I was about to get out of my vision, I saw white handkerchiefs. I don’t know when. I don’t know how, but as a prophet of the Lord, who says and it cometh to pass, I’ve seen spiritually that Agradaa will be released,” he said.

Meanwhile, Osofo Appiah Biblical has alleged that Evangelist Nana Agradaa had a case with the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) before her conviction.

According to Osofo Appiah Biblical, EOCO invited both Kudos and Nana Agradaa after she transferred GH₵7 million into her general manager’s account.

He further claimed that the GHC7 million transfer was only one of several transactions that drew EOCO’s attention.

Speaking on Angel TV on December 21, 2025, Appiah Biblical alleged, “EOCO invited both Kudos and Nana Agradaa because the money she gave him was not the only amount involved. There was a lot of money in question, and the GH₵7 million was just one transfer from one account to another”.

“Mahama will be forced to go for another term” – Prophet

0

Prophet Eric Boahen Uche, commonly known as Prophet Uche, the Founder-Leader of Creator’s House Chapel, has boldly declared that President John Mahama will be forced to go for another term.

According to Prophet Uche, President John Dramani Mahama has another term to rule Ghana, adding that he must rule Ghana for 8 years and not four years.

Speaking to his congregation during the 31st Night watch service, Prophet Uche detailed, “In the spiritual court, where heaven met, our father John Dramani Mahama must rule Ghana for 8 years and not four years. He has another term to rule in the highest office of Ghana”.

“I told people who are close to me and ‘papa’ about this about eight months ago. I told them that he (Mahama) will be forced to go for another term,” he said.

Meanwhile, Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, the General Secretary of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), has fired NDC members calling for a third term for President John Dramani Mahama.

According to Fifi Kwetey, those calling for a third term for President Mahama are sycophants and boot lickers who are only singing his praises to gain favour from him.

He stressed that those people are only singing the praises of Mahama as the only way they can survive.

“These days, it saddens me when I see so much sycophancy creeping into our party.

I see a group of people who, obviously, from every indication, believe that singing the praises of a leader is the only way they can survive.

Speaking at NDC’s 31st December Revolution at Ada, the General Secretary fumed, “And that’s why you hear some of those people even urging statements like there should be a 3rd term. It says nothing but sycophancy, pure sycophancy and boot licking of the highest order”.

Fifi Kwetey noted that even Jerry Rawlings, who was the founder of the NDC, was never urged by anybody to go for any 3rd term

“Jerry Rawlings, who was the founder of this party, never, at any point, was urged by anybody to go for any 3rd term. You have a bunch of sycophants who today think that all they need to do is sing praises and hope that somehow those praises will get them some opportunities that they are looking for”.

“You don’t love our country, you don’t love our party. If you do, you will not be such sycophants. It’s important for us to appreciate that this party was grounded in the need to work for our people. We say cadres may go; cadres may come, but the revolution has come to stay. That simply means it is not about individuals. It’s about us as a collective,” he said.

Rev John Ntim Fordjour, the Ranking Member on the Defence and Interior Committee of Parliament, has urged Ghanaians to pray that President John Mahama does not fail.

According to Ntim Fordjour,  a president must not fail before another person takes power from him.

He stressed that Ghana’s prayer is that the country must succeed, whichever political party one belongs to.

Rev John Ntim Fordjour, during a church service, leading a prayer session, stated, “Our prayer is that Ghana must succeed. Our prayer is that President Mahama must not fail. Whatever political party you belong to, let this be your prayer, because the President must not fail before another takes over from him”.

Some Ghanaians reacting to Rev Ntim Fordjour’s remarks stated, “He was talking like Napo and others till he realised that there is no way Mahama will fail….NPP di3 45 years opposition paa. If this is your new year resolution to be truthful and patrotic then may God answer you”.

A netizen added, “This is what a typical Ghanaian should have in mind: one nation, one people, one  Ghana. Let’s pray for the government to progress so that we can have a convenient environment for all of us. Ghana doesn’t belong to NPP nor NDC”

“Na only today you Dey talk sense. Definitely not from his heart. We know this people. He is saying that because he knows President Mahama will succeed with his prayer or without his prayer”, a Ghanaian added.

Additionally, an X user added, “If this is your new year resolution to be truthful and patrotic then may God answer you. Ghanaian will not fail him. You fail Ghanaian without mercy, allow the man to reset your trousers well”

Meanwhile, President John Dramani Mahama, in his New Year’s Message to the Nation on January 1, 2026, has called on Ghanaians to rise above partisan divisions and embrace collective nation-building.

He highlighted that whether some Ghanaians voted for him or not, they are all Ghanaians, adding that the reset agenda is for all Ghanaians.

He further detailed that Ghana’s development agenda must transcend political affiliation, regardless of how citizens voted in past elections.

President Mahama added that Ghana faces pressing challenges that need collective unity, adding that political conflict risks diverting attention and resources.

Mahama added, “We are one people with a shared destiny, whether you voted for me or not, whether you supported the NDC or not. We are all Ghanaians, and this reset is for all of us”.

“Let’s reject the politics of division and embrace the patriotism of nation-building. Let us disagree without being disagreeable. Let’s compete in the marketplace of ideas without treating our opponents as our enemies”.

“The challenges that we face are too urgent, and the opportunities before us are too precious for us to waste our time and energy in needless conflict”, he added.

President Mahama further made a rallying call to every Ghanaian to support the government in its efforts to build the nation.

There will be a coup attempt against President Mahama – Rev Owusu-Bempah

0

The Founder and Leader of the Glorious Word Power Ministries International, Rev Isaac Owusu-Bempah, has warned of a possible coup attempt against President John Dramani Mahama by certain foreign elements.

The man of God boldly told the person planning the alleged coup against Ghana that they would not be successful.

Rev Owusu Bempah, speaking to his congregation about events to expect in 2026, stated, “Certain people have planned, and some of the people who are planning, or have planned, are foreigners who will come into Ghana. What I am saying is something I saw, that they entered this nation when we were not conscious of ourselves as a nation. All of a sudden, we heard there was a coup d’état,” he said.

He added, “Those who are planning that evil and want to stage a coup in this country, this is a warning to you because you will not succeed. And so we will pray about it, but the security agencies we have in this nation must be vigilant.”

Meanwhile, President John Mahama has already told the National Peace Council at the Jubilee House that Ghana is not immune to coup d’état.

According to John Mahama, Ghana is not immune to coup d’état, which is why his government is doing their best to make sure that they regain the trust of the people.

He stressed that democratic governance must let citizens have faith that it can deliver development.

Speaking during a courtesy call by the National Peace Council at the Jubilee House on December 10, President John Mahama stated, “For those of us who practice democratic governance, we must let our people have faith that democratic governance can deliver the kinds of opportunity and development that they are looking for”.

“You see a certain cynicism where young people said, even this voting is useless. I go and vote every four years, and I don’t see what difference it makes in our lives,” he said.

He cautioned, “One of my major campaign messages was that we have a last opportunity to keep the faith and trust of our people in the political elites. Otherwise, Ghana is not immune to coup d’états”.

President Mahama added, “I don’t enjoy prosecuting people, but the people of Ghana will not forgive us if people develop impunity in terms of abusing the trust that people have put in them”.

“That is why we are resourcing the Economic and Organised Crime Office and the other anti-corruption institutions, including the Office of the Special Prosecutor,” he added.

To our entrepreneurs and business leaders: Invest in Ghana. Build businesses that create jobs and wealth for yourselves and for the economy. I pledge to maintain a conducive environment for your businesses to thrive; your commitment must be to seize the opportunities that we create.

To the public servants: Yours is a noble calling. Serve with integrity, efficiency, and dedication. The people’s trust in government depends on your daily conduct.

And to our diaspora community: You are Ghana’s global ambassadors. Continue to make us proud. When you can, bring your skills, resources, and networks back home. Ghana needs you.

We are one people with a shared destiny. Whether you voted for me or not, whether you supported the NDC or not, we are all Ghanaians, and this reset is for all of us. There is no NPP Ghana. There is no CPP Ghana or NDC Ghana. There is only one Ghana. The one our forebears fought for and shed their blood to give us our freedom.”

He further added, “From that angle, I am seeing a military liaison with several military angles, where even in Ghana, we will be handling a lot of nuclear power and other things in this country. Not just nuclear bombs, but nuclear power for electricity and other things.

Where we will have the capacity to have such weapons if we need them, and we will have the capacity to enter that liaison very soon in 2026. The country will be able to face the world aswell”.

Prophet Telvin Sowah further revealed that Ghana will have a strong economic development in 2026.

“Aside from that, I saw a very strong economic development. Once I saw it in March, it never came down again. We were nailing the dollar to the ground, but in January, it was a bit quick, and it was adjusted”, he disclosed.

“The next road project in my constituency will have me rolling on the floor” – MP

0

Haruna Mohammed, the member of parliament for Asunafo North, has boldly stated that the next road project in his constituency will have him rolling on the floor.

The lawmaker made this known following a viral video of him, going down on his knees, praising President John Mahama for the swift commencement of a major road project in his constituency.

The lawmaker in a viral video asserted that the Goaso and Tepa road project was just awarded in three months under the Mahama government’s big push initiative, but the contractors are already asphalting the road.

Haruna Mohammed boldly highlighted that the Goaso and Tepa road was the main reason the people of Ahafo voted against the NPP government.

Speaking in the viral video during the ongoing works on the Goaso and Tepa road, Haruna Mohammed stated, “God bless Mahama, God should make him bigger.

I am so happy that even my white shirt I will roll on the floor with it to thank President Mahama and the NDC”. 

This road, in particular, is the reason why the people of Ahafo voted against the NPP. This contract was awarded just three months ago”. 

Reacting to the viral video, the MP in a post on X wrote, The next road project in my constituency, I will literally roll on the floor as gratitude”.

Also, Haruna Mohammned, in another post, has debunked claims that the NPP started the current massive works on the Tepa to Goaso road.

According to him, the claims are false, plain and simple.

He wrote, “The claim that the NPP started the current massive works on the Tepa to Goaso road is false. Plain and simple.

Before the 2024 elections, even the Ahafo Regional Chairman of the NPP publicly admitted that this same road was in a deplorable state and had become a serious political threat to his own party. At that time, there was no real construction on site. No momentum. Just abandoned sections, dust and endless excuses.

What the people are seeing today is not propaganda, not warnings and not fear driven promises. It is real work. Heavy equipment on site. Asphalt going down. Measurable progress. This only began after the change of government and the clear directive from President John Dramani Mahama under the Big Push infrastructure agenda for the contractor to return to site and deliver”.

He added, “Let it be clearly understood. Barely three months after the contract was awarded, the project is almost completed. That is what seriousness looks like. That is what leadership looks like.

For years, the people of Ahafo endured accidents, dust and hardship under NPP governance. If this road had truly been started and prioritised, it would never have become the very campaign liability their own leaders complained about in public.

They can amuse themselves with claims and self-praise if that makes them feel better. The political reality is staring all of us in the face. Today, the NPP holds only one seat out of six in Ahafo. That verdict was delivered by the people, not by words but by experience.

Ahafo deserves honesty, not recycled lies. Progress is visible. The people can see it. And no amount of noise can rewrite that truth”.

I had a lot to speak to you about that, but I’m being guided. But I’ve spoken the mind of God,” he said.

“If they don’t take care, the election will end in court, and I saw security discrepancies, security problems, so the NPP primaires which will be on 31st January, Mr Tesite was going as if he had won, I saw men of God praying, and it was switched, and I saw Dr Bawumia.

Watch MP go down on his knees to praise Mahama for the swift commencement of Goaso and Tepa road

0

Haruna Mohammed, the member of parliament for Asunafo North, has gone down on his knees praising President John Mahama for the swift commencement of a major road project in his constituency.

The lawmaker in a viral video asserted that the Goaso and Tepa road project was just awarded in three months under the Mahama government’s big push initiative, but the contractors are already asphalting the road.

Haruna Mohammed boldly highlighted that the Goaso and Tepa road was the main reason the people of Ahafo voted against the NPP government.

Speaking in the viral video during the ongoing works on the Goaso and Tepa road, Haruna Mohammed stated, “God bless Mahama, God should make him bigger.

I am so happy that even my white shirt I will roll on the floor with it to thank President Mahama and the NDC”.  

This road, in particular, is the reason why the people of Ahafo voted against the NPP. This contract was awarded just three months ago”.  

Still on the Big Push, President Mahama has made a bold declaration that Ghana will have the best roads in West Africa within the next 24 months under the Big Push Initiative.

According to John Mahama, his government is dedicated to constructing more roads over the next two years, with the aim of making transportation safer and more efficient.

Speaking at the sod-cutting ceremony of the 195-kilometre Wenchi–Bole–Sawla–Wa Road, President Mahama stated, “I wish to repeat my apology and regret to the people of Ghana that with the start of the big push, the whole of Ghana is going to be a construction site for the next two years.

Wherever in this county you go, the road will be under construction, so I ask the Ghanaians to be patient with us and to accept the inconvenience.

Twenty-four months after the launch of the Big Push, you will have the best roads in West Africa”.

He further added, “For the past few years, this strategic artery has been allowed to deteriorate. Potholes, failed pavements, and broken drains have made travel difficult and hazardous.

Vehicle operating costs have risen by nearly 40%, and travel time between Wenchi, Sawla, and Wa can take up to eight hours. Because of the slow pace of movement, armed robberies have also become common. This is unacceptable in modern Ghana.”

Meanwhile, the Association of Road Contractors has praised the Mahama administration for clearing part of the arrears owed to road contractors.

John Afful, the former Chairman of the Association, stated, “The initial assurance was that some funds would be released to reduce the debt, and we have seen progress. The Minister of Roads has indicated that over GH¢5 has been paid into outstanding projects, with contractors encouraged to return to site. This is very welcoming, and we are already seeing some contractors resume work,” he said.

“At least something is being done, and if this continues, we will be grateful because the arrears will keep reducing,” he added.

“Loss of lives, bloodshed, division” –  Rev Owusu-Bempah drops prophecy ahead of NPP’s flagbearer race

0

Rev Isaac Owusu-Bempah, the Founder and Leader of the Glorious Word Power Ministries International, has dropped a prophecy ahead of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential primaries on January 31, 2026.

According to the man of God, if care is not taken, the NPP primaries will be chaotic with bloodshed, people losing their lives, leading to division in the party.

Speaking during the 2025 31st Night Service, Rev Isaac Owusu-Bempah stated, “NPP, please listen to this. Don’t despise what I’m saying to you… I saw an image which had human characteristics; it was like a human being. And this personality was standing in the midst of the contestants who were contesting in the flagbearership race.

“I saw that the personality, the image standing in the midst of the contestants, was bleeding, and I was asking God, what is the significance of this? And God said to me that the party’s election, if care is not taken and they are not careful enough, will become chaotic and there will be bloodshed, and some people will lose their lives in the process, and it will lead to division in the party,” he said.

He added, “Don’t despise what I’m saying. This is not politics; I’m not doing politics here. This is about the lives of people.”

Also, Isaac Owusu-Bempah has warned of a possible coup attempt against President John Dramani Mahama by certain foreign elements.

He, however, highlighted that the coup will not be successful.

Rev Owusu Bempah stated, “Certain people have planned, and some of the people who are planning, or have planned, are foreigners who will come into Ghana. What I am saying is something I saw, that they entered this nation when we were not conscious of ourselves as a nation. All of a sudden, we heard there was a coup d’état”

He added, “Those who are planning that evil and want to stage a coup in this country, this is a warning to you because you will not succeed. And so we will pray about it, but the security agencies we have in this nation must be vigilant.”

Meanwhile, Ghanaian prophets have been left divided following their conflicting 2026 prophecies regarding the New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential election on January 31, 2026.

Some Ghanaian prophets have revealed that the former vice president and NPP flagbearer for the 2024 elections, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, will emerged victories; others also stressed that Kennedy Agyapong, the former Assin Central MP, will be declared victorious.

In the short 32-second video compilation of the Prophets prophets shared on social media, Prophet Roja stated, “Kennedy has won the election handsdown”.

Nigel Gaisie also stated, “I saw Dr Bawumia take it”.

Also, the General Overseer of Spiritlife Revival Ministries, Prophet Bernard Elbernard Nelson-Eshun, said, “Bawumia will not lead the New Patriotic Party”.

Prophet Elijah King, “I saw Bawumia as the winner of the NPP presidential seat”.

Subsequently, another man of God in the video stated, “I saw Hon Ken leading the NPP to become president”.

Rev Owusu Bempah added, “ Dr Bawumia say he wants to be president in this country, we shall see?”

Prophet Eric Boahen Uche, commonly known as Prophet Uche, the Founder-Leader of Creator’s House Chapel, maintained, “ I saw Bawumia winning the primaries”.

“Sell your properties and come and buy Adom Nyame” – Prophet Adom Kyei urged church members

0

Prophet Stephen Adom Kyei Duah, the Founder and Leader of the Believers Worship Centre, has urged his church members to sell their properties and buy Adom Nyame.

The man of God made this known as his congregation prepared for the 31st Watch Night service.

According to Prophet Stephen Adom Kyei Duah, after his church members buy Adom Nyame, they would experience God’s glory in their lives.

Speaking to his congregation in a viral video shared, Prophet Stephen Adom Kyei Duah stated, “Listen to me; sell all your properties and come and buy Adom Nyame, because that is what I am offering tonight. After buying Adom Nyame, people around you will witness what the Lord will do through you. You will also prosper”.

“Considering all the testimonies being shared in this house, if I were to take your offerings and tithes, it would imply that the God I am following isn’t able to provide. So, sell your properties and buy Adom Nyame.

“I won’t plan to extort money from you, and I will never beg to eat. I won’t create fear or panic to take your money. This is the Adom Nyame I have possessed,” he added.

Meanwhile, Godsbrain Smart Nkansah, popularly known as Captain Smart, some months ago quizzed Prophet Stephen Adom Kyei Duah on why he would be selling Yesu Mogya in church.

Captain Smart noted that Adom Kyei Duah is exploiting his congregation for profit by selling ‘Yesu Mogya’ in church.

He highlighted that the man of God is doing business in his church and must be taxed by the government.

Captain Smart further recounted how a woman who was suffering from high blood pressure abandoned her prescribed medication to rely on ‘Yesu Mogya’ for miraculous healing.

According to Captain Smart, if he were president, such acts would not be tolerated.

He argued that religious leaders who profit from their congregations under the guise of spirituality should be held accountable.

Speaking on his show Onua Maakye, Captain Smart stated, “Physically, Adom Kyei-Duah is older than me, but spiritually, he knows I’m older. How can you be selling Yesu Mogya in church? There’s a woman I knew who was a BP patient. Instead of her taking her medicine, she was taking Yesu Mogya.

“If I were president of Ghana, this nonsense wouldn’t be allowed. Nobody would be able to sell oil in church. If a pastor sold ‘Yesu Mogya’ during services, I would treat it like a business and make them pay tax,” Captain Smart stated.

Also, Ghanaian gospel artiste Diana Asamoah has labelled Adom Kyei-Duah as an anti-Christ, and by 2028, his church will collapse.

She further claimed Adom Kyei-Duah isn’t a true man of God.

In a video shared on social media, Diana Asamoah stated, “Listen to me, you anti-Christ, I am going to let you know that whatever you are doing is all anti-Christ spirits. I have seen what you have been doing. You have been arresting pastors in this country. I want to tell you that I am ready for you”.

“By 2028, your church will collapse. You have already informed us that your ministry is not a church, but a movement; therefore, it will likely collapse by 2028. Members of the NPP shouldn’t be scared by his words”, she added.

Prophet Eric Boahen Uche, commonly known as Prophet Uche, the Founder-Leader of Creator’s House Chapel, maintained, “ I saw Bawumia winning the primaries”.

Some Ghanaians reacting to the viral video of the Prophet conflicting with each other wrote, “Roja prophesied that Bawumia will win the primaries and now saying Kennedy will win. So which one should we take? When one happens, he will be saying that I said it, I said it. They must be careful”.

“Certainly, many of them aren’t speaking the mind of God. This is not new if you read the Bible. Many of these people may be using Word of Wisdom and other sources of spiritual assistance, other than the only true God, Elohim. Some are influenced by anger, money and other benefits they expect to receive.

This is why discernment is crucial. God is not confused. There are just many people using His name wrongly for their own purposes”, a netizen asserted.

One X user added, “So far as there are true prophets, there would certainly be false prophets, and the false ones would always outnumber the true ones in a country not governed by biblical laws. What has hod got to do with who leads who?”,

“Hmmm, sometimes I wish the power of God worked so fast, like what was happening in the Old Testament. Na thunder strike some of us who used God’s name to lie apampemu. Lord has mercy on us, for we don’t know what we are doing”, a netizen added.

A netizen added, “One God, many interpretations. Do you not wonder if these men of God truly hear from God? What God is interested in the politics of poor Ghana to the extent of revealing who will win some local elections 😉 Lord, have mercy”.

“Whether you voted for me or not, we are all Ghanaians” – President Mahama

0

President John Dramani Mahama, in his New Year’s Message to the Nation on January 1, 2026, has called on Ghanaians to rise above partisan divisions and embrace collective nation-building.

He highlighted that whether some Ghanaians voted for him or not, they are all Ghanaians, adding that the reset agenda is for all Ghanaians.

He further detailed that Ghana’s development agenda must transcend political affiliation, regardless of how citizens voted in past elections.

President Mahama added that Ghana faces pressing challenges that need collective unity, adding that political conflict risks diverting attention and resources.

Mahama added, “We are one people with a shared destiny, whether you voted for me or not, whether you supported the NDC or not. We are all Ghanaians, and this reset is for all of us”.

“Let’s reject the politics of division and embrace the patriotism of nation-building. Let us disagree without being disagreeable. Let’s compete in the marketplace of ideas without treating our opponents as our enemies”.

“The challenges that we face are too urgent, and the opportunities before us are too precious for us to waste our time and energy in needless conflict”, he added.

President Mahama further made a rallying call to every Ghanaian to support the government in its efforts to build the nation, saying, “Ladies and gentlemen, governments do not build nations alone. They do that with the citizenry. As we enter 2026, I call upon each one of you:

Our young people: You are not the leaders of tomorrow. You are the leaders of today. Take ownership of this Reset Agenda. Innovate. Create and Build. Ghana needs your energy, your ideas, your commitment.

To our entrepreneurs and business leaders: Invest in Ghana. Build businesses that create jobs and wealth for yourselves and for the economy. I pledge to maintain a conducive environment for your businesses to thrive; your commitment must be to seize the opportunities that we create.

To our civil society, media, and watchdog institutions: Continue to hold us accountable. A vibrant democracy needs your critical voice. We may not always agree, but we shall always respect the role you play in strengthening our nation.

To our traditional leaders and faith-based communities: You are the custodians of our values and the anchors of our communities. Help us build social cohesion and national unity. Help us nurture the moral fabric that holds our society together.

To the public servants: Yours is a noble calling. Serve with integrity, efficiency, and dedication. The people’s trust in government depends on your daily conduct.

And to our diaspora community: You are Ghana’s global ambassadors. Continue to make us proud. When you can, bring your skills, resources, and networks back home. Ghana needs you.

We are one people with a shared destiny. Whether you voted for me or not, whether you supported the NDC or not, we are all Ghanaians, and this reset is for all of us. There is no NPP Ghana. There is no CPP Ghana or NDC Ghana. There is only one Ghana. The one our forebears fought for and shed their blood to give us our freedom.”

“A former Ghanaian president will die in 2026” – Rev Owusu-Bempah warns

0

Rev Isaac Owusu-Bempah, the Founder and Leader of the Glorious Word Power Ministries International, has warned Ghanaians to pray to avert the death of the country’s former president.

The man of God prophesied that some persons who have led Ghana before are going to die in 2026.

He warned that if former leaders do not heed the prophetic warnings, the prophecies will come to pass.

According to Rev Owusu Bempah, Ghanaians must pray for former leaders who have previously ruled Ghana to prevent calamities.

Speaking to his congregation during his 31st Watch Night service about events to expect in 2026, Rev Isaac Owusu-Bempah prophecied, saying, “Those who have once ruled Ghana, let us remember them when we pray, or else it will not be just one event that will happen.

Those who this prophecy concerns must not rebel against this prophecy, but let them deal with it in prayer or else it will happen, and it will shock Ghanaians, and Ghanaians will say Prophet Owusu Bempah said it”.

He further urged, “let pray about this calamity, someone who has ruled Ghana as a president that person wouldn’t lose his life this year. Let’s take this seriously”.

Also, Bishop Daniel Obinim, the Founder and Leader of the International God’s Way Church, has announced a revelation he claimed to have received about Ghana’s former President John Agyekum Kufuor.

According to Bishop Daniel Obinim, in his vision, he saw former President Kufuor waving at him in a vision with a large crowd gathered.

Speaking during the 2025 31st Night Service, Bishop Daniel Obinim stated, “I saw former President Kufuor waving at me in a vision. I only shared this with one person. In that vision, there was a large gathering, and he was waving at us. Suddenly, the whole place became dark”.

‎”I did not realise I had this prophetic gift earlier, otherwise I would have spoken about it last week,” he added.

‎”Since he is from my wife’s hometown, I have fasted for two days for him. I believe he will be safe, because when he dies it will affect me,” Obinim added.

A netizen who shared the video wrote, “So IGP Tettey Yohunu is watching these so-called men of God give these fake prophecies without any consequences? But wait, do you call the d£@th of 80-plus-year-old men a calamity? Chief Imam is over 100 now. What didn’t this man say? I pity his congregation. Tweakai”

Some netizens reacting to the Rev Owusu Bempah stated, “Tell us about the exchange rate and the GDP? Are they going to change or the world market prices of gold and crude? Or that’s not possible?”

“When he prophesied during ur regime, u were here saluting and calling him names. Now u call I’m scam. Now u call him fake”, a netizen added.

“Stomach direction, pastors. Kuffour and Nana Addo are over 80 years old, and there are probabilities that either of them can die anytime. This is not a prophecy”, One X user added.

A netizen added, “Nana Addo di33 he shouldn’t die oo. That man needs to suffer before he dies. He should suffer so much that he calls for death, but even death rejects him. The most evil man I’ve ever seen”.

“The applause this government is getting is fake and AI-generated” – Bryan Acheampong

0

Dr Bryan Acheampong, a New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer hopeful, has confidently stated that the applause the John Mahama-led National Democratic Congress (NDC) government is getting is fake and AI-generated.

Speaking in a video shared on X, Bryan Acheampong detailed that the government is being praised for using artificial methods to restore Ghana’s economy.

According to Bryan Acheampong, when the artificial methods stop working, Ghanaians will begin to ask the government tough questions.

Dr Bryan Acheampong, in the interview, stated, “I’m saying that artificial intelligence can be used for a lot of things. Most of the applause and all the praise we are seeing are mainly generated by machines clapping.

“Very soon, Ghanaians will start asking questions. They will start asking questions,” he said.

He added, “They will say that we voted for you 12 months ago, and you used 10 billion dollars to hold the economy; what fundamentals are you putting in place for it (the economy) to stabilise?

“The money you inject into the economy from the Bank of Ghana is one thing, but what you have to do for the economy to stabilise is another thing. The Bank of Ghana will not always be in the position to inject money, so the fundamentals must be strong,” he said.

He added, “So, very soon, Ghanaians will start asking that the money from the Bank of Ghana is no longer coming, the dollar is going up… where is the 24-hour economy? These are the pillars which are supposed to hold the economy.”

Some netizens reacting to Bryan Acheampong’s video stated, “Honestly, when these people speak, you tend to see how much disrespect they have for us Ghanaians. So we don’t think we don’t know when the government is doing well and it’s not? So, what were the elections? Was it AI that voted, or it was the same Ghanaians? May he never come close to the presidency..!!!”

An X user added, “Being an opposition party member doesn’t mean you have to oppose everything that the government does or pretend to be blind to the progress being made. The govt is completing most uncompleted projects by the previous govt and instead of commending the govt, you’re rather criticising the govt for not completing their own project.

You see why they abandoned projects by their predecessors during their 8 years in power? When you try to undermine the progress we all see, you become annoying and unattractive. There are many areas of the country’s development that he could have criticised, i.e., unemployment etc but to pretend nothing is happening is disingenuous”.

“So now even national goodwill needs a software update? 😂If applause is “AI-generated,” then maybe the complaints are manual errors.

When performance speaks, the noise always starts calling it fake”, one more netizen wrote.

Another Ghanaian added, “Things have really turned out positively! This is remarkable and enduring in its purpose: Ghanaians are asking real questions. Dismissing public sentiment as ‘artificial’ only exposes how far some leaders have drifted from the people they once governed”.

“The number of payments halted by this government, I pray the day they start releasing these payments to institutions and contractors, it wouldn’t have any negative ripple effect.

The truth is, the cedi is gona rise once these payments start..”, a netizen added.

“Those calling for a 3rd term for Mahama are sycophants and boot lickers” – Fifi Kwetey

0

Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, the General Secretary of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), has fired NDC members calling for a third term for President John Dramani Mahama.

According to Fifi Kwetey, those calling for a third term for President Mahama are sycophants and boot lickers who are only singing his praises to gain favour from him.

He stressed that those people are only singing the praises of Mahama as the only way they can survive.

“These days, it saddens me when I see so much sycophancy creeping into our party.

I see a group of people who, obviously, from every indication, believe that singing the praises of a leader is the only way they can survive.

Speaking at NDC’s 31st December Revolution at Ada, the General Secretary fumed, “And that’s why you hear some of those people even urging statements like there should be a 3rd term. It says nothing but sycophancy, pure sycophancy and boot licking of the highest order”.

Fifi Kwetey noted that even Jerry Rawlings, who was the founder of the NDC, was never urged by anybody to go for any 3rd term

“Jerry Rawlings, who was the founder of this party, never, at any point, was urged by anybody to go for any 3rd term. You have a bunch of sycophants who today think that all they need to do is sing praises and hope that somehow those praises will get them some opportunities that they are looking for”.

“You don’t love our country, you don’t love our party. If you do, you will not be such sycophants. It’s important for us to appreciate that this party was grounded in the need to work for our people. We say cadres may go; cadres may come, but the revolution has come to stay. That simply means it is not about individuals. It’s about us as a collective,” he said.

Meanwhile, Fifi Fiavi Kwetey had already reiterated the party’s position, dismissing claims of a third-term agenda for President John Dramani Mahama.

Speaking on Channel One TV’s Face to Face on Tuesday, December 16, Fifi Fiavi Kwetey highlighted that the NDC is committed to Ghana’s constitutional order and democratic principles.

The NDC General Secretary stated, “First and foremost, you must appreciate that all over sub-Saharan Africa, if there is one country that has been able to provide the model that continues to be an inspiration in terms of democratic transition, it is Ghana”.

“We at no point should never encourage a situation where there is a disruption in our constitutional stipulations. The president has spoken about that, and clearly he did well because he didn’t want to allow such conversations to continue as if he is entertaining it,” Kwetey said.

“The party itself that has promised to ensure that we do what is right for the country has to ensure that, in this spirit of reset, even though we have such a huge majority in Parliament, we use it only to do what is good for the country and not try to change the Constitution because we are trying to make maybe one person happy,” he explained.

“Mahama must rule Ghana for 8 years and not four years” – Prophet Uche prophesies

0

Prophet Eric Boahen Uche, commonly known as Prophet Uche, the Founder-Leader of Creator’s House Chapel, has boldly declared that President John Mahama must rule Ghana for 8 years and not four years.

Prophet Uche prophesied that President John Dramani Mahama has another term to rule Ghana.

According to Prophet Uche, he has informed some people about this particular prophecy.

He revealed that President John Dramani Mahama will be forced to go for a third term.

Speaking to his congregation during the 31st Night watch service, Prophet Uche detailed, “In the spiritual court, where heaven met, our father John Dramani Mahama must rule Ghana for 8 years and not four years. He has another term to rule in the highest office of Ghana”.

“I told people who are close to me and ‘papa’ about this about eight months ago. I told them that he (Mahama) will be forced to go for another term,” he said.

Meanwhile, Veteran broadcaster Kwesi Pratt has cautioned the National Democratic Congress (NDC) that they will be handing the opposition NPP a bonanza if they keep pushing a third-term agenda.

According to Kwesi Pratt, the NPP is in tatters, but the NDC’s third-term agenda will revive the NPP very quickly and enhance its chances. 

Speaking on Good Morning Ghana, Kwesi Pratt stated, “How can we as a people, 35 million people, come to the conclusion that there is only one person who can lead us out of 35 million? That is an insult to the population.

 To make the general preposition that for us long us that person is alive, he is the only person capable of leading”. 

He further replied to the Majority leader in parliament, who claimed Ghanaians are calling for President Mahama to run for a third term.

“I wish he would have learnt a little more history, he would have thought twice because Ghana’s history clearly shows that it is an adventure that could lead to very dangerous consequences”, Kwesi Pratt noted.

He further explained, “If you look at our history, one of our most popular leaders was General Acheampong. Don’t forget when Gen Acheampong was being shot at the Teshie range, he was being shot to public applauds what did he do wrong? Study that history.

People should be careful about what they advocate and what they wish. I have told some of my friends that today the NPP appears to be in tatters, and the NPP would revive itself very quickly and enhance its chances of coming back to power if this third-term bid is pushed. It will be a bonanza for the NPP if they like, they should try it”.

Kwesi Pratt further highlighted that, fortunately for the NDC president, Mahama has already come out to say he is not interested, and the NDC has also stressed they are not going to support any third-term bid.

“Fortunaetely the president himself has said he is not interested and fortunately, the leadership of NDC has also comeout to say they will not support a third-term bid so it is clear those who are still clamouring for a third-term bid should learn from our history”, he added.

Meanwhile, the Public Relations Manager of the National Peace Council, Kwesi Yirenkyi Boateng, had earlier cautioned prophets, evangelists, and other religious leaders on how they make their prophecies during the 31st Watch Night services.

It will be recalled that during the leadership of former Inspector General of Police, Dr George Akuffo Dampare, the Ghana Police Service consistently warned against doom prophecies that could create fear and panic.

According to Kwesi Yirenkyi Boateng, prophecies must not threaten national peace or disrupt the country.

Speaking to Citi News on Monday, December 29, 2025, Kwesi Yirenkyi Boateng stated, “I believe the level we have gotten to as a nation, we all understand what it means with the directive the former IGP gave. But be that as it may, we ought to also be cautious and measured in the prophecies that we share.

“I think with respect to Prophet Nathan telling David about his sins, he committed with Uriah and all those things, Prophet Nathan put it allegorically, and then he confronted David nicely. Prophecies should come, but we need to see how we deliver these prophecies so that they won’t disturb the peaceful coexistence. It won’t disturb or unnecessarily exacerbate the tension in the country.

“We should be measured in how we communicate these prophecies to each other or to the country, especially on 31st [December, 2025], that we will still have our country intact. This is our plea to Christians and our prophets,” he said.

King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, the Ga Mantse, has announced plans to arrest the parents of children found at the seashore during school hours.

According to the Ga Mantse, a child found at the seashore during school hours will be taken home by authorities, and their parents will be arrested.

He further revealed plans to criminalise child fishing activities, adding that parents who allow their ward to fish once the by-law is passed will be prosecuted.

The Ga Manste made this known while speaking at the 2026 Kinka Blonya, an annual New Year children’s celebration on Thursday, January 1, 2026.

Ga Mantse stated, “All the traditional authorities in the Ga State have come together to actively promote education. A time is nearing when fishing by children at the expense of education would be criminalised”.

“We are at a point where prioritising education in the Ga state is non-negotiable. We are providing over 1000 scholarships; therefore, parents have no excuse to enrol their kids in schools. Let’s all come together and raise the Ga Children for the future” he added.

In related news, King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, the Ga Mantse, has called for a new master for the Greater Accra Region.

The Ga Mantse stressed that the current state of Accra is choked with congestion in planned settlements.

According to the Ga Mantse, modern capital is not inherited, they are deliberately built and designed.

Speaking at the 3rd Ghana Construction Industry Excellence, on December 18, 2025, the traditional ruler stated, “It’s choked with congestion on planned settlements, strained sanitation systems, inadequate drainage, and uncondemnated infrastructure. To confess, the modern capital is not inherited. It is designed. It is planned. It is deliberately built.”

“I therefore urge government and the private sector partners to form a strong, well-coordinated coalition to revise the current master plan of Accra,” he said. “That is very, very important. Accra must have a new master plan, and it must cover everywhere, especially the central business district,” he noted.

“We must redevelop and modernise the Greater Accra Region, implement a sustainable decongestion strategy, revitalise the inner-city communities, invest in green areas, waste systems and efficient transport corridors, and create new planned urban centres to support population growth,” he said. “The capital city should reflect the aspirations of its people.”

“Ghana deserves a city that is clean, that is efficient, livable and globally competitive,” he stated.

The Ga Mantse further highlighted that Ghana is facing a housing deficit of over 1.8 million units.

He added, “Ghana is facing a housing deficit of over 1.8 million units. The lower and middle income groups, which are the backbone of our economy, struggle daily to find decent accommodation.”

“Government must partner with private developers in genuine public-private housing initiatives that are affordable, that are sustainable, well-located and built to modern standards,” the Ga Mantse said.

Watch Prophet Roja share a frightening prophecy ahead of 2026

0

Prophet Samuel Henry, popularly known as Prophet Roja, has dropped a frightening prophecy that he will occur in Ghana in 2026.

According to Prophet Roja, in the spiritual realm, there is a kingdom which would have a vacant throne, which would lead to intense chaos and disputes before a chief is eventually installed.

He further highlighted that a Chief would be installed, but would not complete his tenure, as death would cut the reign short.

Speaking during an interview on Nhyira FM, Prophet Roja stated, “In a certain kingdom, there will be a vacancy for a chief to sit on the throne. There will be a lot of chaos, but despite all the confusion, someone will be installed as chief,” he said.

“However, the chief will not be able to complete his tenure. The person will die, and they will have to find another person to replace him after his death.”

“This is deep. Ghanaians should watch out. This will happen in 2026. Write it down, it will happen in Ghana,” he added.

Also, Prophet Roja, in a separate interview, revealed that President John Dramani Mahama will run for a third term in office by winning the 2028 elections.

The man of God claimed that the parliament would make some amendments to certain laws in 2026, which would allow President Mahama to contest for a third term.

According to Prophet Roja, he has seen this from the realm of the spirit, with the parliamentary process unfolding in 2026, eventually impacting the 2028 general elections.

He revealed that the political landscape of Ghana would remain unchanged.

Speaking in an interview on Angel FM, Prophet Roja stated, “Parliament will make an amendment to a law that will ensure that an existing arrangement remains… I have seen it that President Mahama will go for a third term, and he will win it”.

Meanwhile, the Public Relations Manager of the National Peace Council, Kwesi Yirenkyi Boateng, has cautioned prophets, evangelists, and other religious leaders on how they make their prophecies during the 31st Watch Night services.

“Don’t be distracted by the few people making so much noise” – Steve Manteaw to Sammy Gyamfi

0

Dr Emmanuel Steve Asare Manteaw, a Policy analyst and communication strategist, has told the GoldBod Chief Executive Officer, Sammy Gyamfi, not to be distracted by the few people making so much noise.

According to Steve Manteaw, Sammy Gyamfi must remain focused as he has the full support of the majority of Ghanaians.

He highlighted that all the brouhaha around GoldBod is politically motivated and rooted in personal attacks against Sammy Gyamfi.

Dr Manteaw asserted that if anyone else were put in charge of the affairs of the Goldbod, all the noise would be gone.

Speaking on Metro TV’s Good Morning Ghana, Dr Manteaw stated, “He sounded a bit frustrated with what appears to be an attempt to demonise the institution”.

“I think the attack on the GoldBod is all because of Sammy Gyamfi. If you put another person there, all this noise will stop,” he stated.

He added, “It can be frustrating when you are doing something with the best of intentions, and you find people trying to distract you from your mission”.

“He’s a very smart guy. He’s doing a good job. He should remain focused. He’s got the majority of Ghanaians behind him and should not be distracted by the very few people making so much noise,” he added.

His remarks follow the Minority in Parliament, led by Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, Member of Parliament for Ofoase Ayirebi, who are demanding a bipartisan parliamentary probe into BoG-GoldBod $214m loss.

According to Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, they in the minority believes state money is being used to buy galamsey gold.

Addressing journalists in Accra on Monday, December 29, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah called for a bipartisan investigation into the operation of Goldbod.

He stated that a parliamentary ad-hoc committee should conduct a bipartisan investigation into all contracts, licenses, intermediaries, and related entities of the Goldbod.

He further noted that Ghana has lost $214 million, heading to $300million under the Bank of Ghana and the Ghana Gold Board and urged the committee to call on the two institutions to disclose their fee structures, pricing formulas, aggregator selection criteria, and foreign exchange arrangements.

Speaking to journalists in Accra, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah stated, “We are demanding the following: a bipartisan parliamentary inquiry into the circumstances under which the Republic of Ghana has lost $214 million, heading to $300million, to be done here by the parliament of Ghana. We are asking for a parliamentary ad hoc investigative committee with the power to subpoena all contracts, licences, intermediaries, including this power rock monopoly.

“Under this bipartisan enquiry, we will be expecting the BoG and the GoldBod to publish the fee structure, the pricing formula, the aggregator selecting criteria and all foreign exchange arrangements that they have tied to this scheme, which has led to this loss.

“…One of the things we will be asking for is the suspension of permits in forest reserves and the introduction of serious measures on traceability because, as at now, we have every reason to believe that state money is being used to buy Galamsey gold…Where negligence or corruption is proven, prosecutions must follow, and all recoverable funds must be given back to the state,” Nkrumah stated.

According to the Ofoase-Ayirebi MP, the NDC’s promised reset agenda was nothing more than rebranding projects and initiatives.

Addressing journalists on Monday, December 29, 2025, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah stated, “Fellow Ghanaians, let us be brutally honest; this government has shown, in its very first full year, that it came with no ideas and has governed with no new ideas.

“Ghanaians have found out that the promise to reset Ghana was nothing more than rebranding projects and initiatives that were already in place by the NPP government. But rebranding without the requisite competence can be disastrous,” he noted.

“When the IMF is no longer here after mid-2026, and they have finished copying from the NPP, who will they copy from? Who will shepherd them then?,” he quizzed.

The Minority in Parliament, in that same press confernce demanded a bipartisan parliamentary probe into BoG-GoldBod $214m loss.

It must be noted that the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has raised concerns over the reported losses of Goldbod.

The IMF described them as a potential risk to Ghana’s macroeconomic stability.

They further attributed the losses to transactions involving artisanal and small-scale mining, dore gold and referenced alleged “GoldBod off-taker fees.”

According to Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, they in the minority believes state money is being used to buy galamsey gold.

Addressing journalists in Accra on Monday, December 29, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah called for a bipartisan investigation into the operation of Goldbod.

He stated that a parliamentary ad-hoc committee should conduct a bipartisan investigation into all contracts, licenses, intermediaries, and related entities of the Goldbod.

He further noted that Ghana has lost $214 million, heading to $300million under the Bank of Ghana and the Ghana Gold Board and urged the committee to call on the two institutions to disclose their fee structures, pricing formulas, aggregator selection criteria, and foreign exchange arrangements.

Speaking to journalists in Accra, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah stated, “We are demanding the following: a bipartisan parliamentary inquiry into the circumstances under which the Republic of Ghana has lost $214 million, heading to $300million, to be done here by the parliament of Ghana. We are asking for a parliamentary ad hoc investigative committee with the power to subpoena all contracts, licences, intermediaries, including this power rock monopoly.

“Under this bipartisan enquiry, we will be expecting the BoG and the GoldBod to publish the fee structure, the pricing formula, the aggregator selecting criteria and all foreign exchange arrangements that they have tied to this scheme, which has led to this loss.

“…One of the things we will be asking for is the suspension of permits in forest reserves and the introduction of serious measures on traceability because, as at now, we have every reason to believe that state money is being used to buy Galamsey gold…Where negligence or corruption is proven, prosecutions must follow, and all recoverable funds must be given back to the state,” Nkrumah stated.

The Abusuapanin and Otumfuo’s Chief Security, Nana Susu Bribi, popularly known as Arafat, has told critics of the former wife of the late John Kumah, Lilian Owusu Kumah, now known as Lilian Aryeequaye did not sin by remarrying.

He cited that God detailed that only death separates married couples, adding that Lilian has completed all the necessary traditional processes to remarry.

Nana Susu Bribi further told critics to mind their own business.

Speaking during church service at Lilian’s church on Sunday, December 28, 2025, Nana Susu Bribi stated, “I want the whole world to know that Lilian has committed no sin by remarrying. John Kumah is my junior sister’s son, and my elder son is 50 years old. I personally received the marriage for them in Obuasi. For John Kumah to become who he was, it was through me.

“Even God says only death separates married couples. After the one-year widowhood rites, she has completed all the necessary traditional processes to remarry. So, what sin has she committed?

“I encouraged her to remarry, so she has committed no sin against the family or against God. As former President John Atta Mills once said, Mondi mo fie asem’ everyone should mind their own business.”

Also, the brother of Dr John Kumah, Frank Kumah, has broken his silence concerning his brother’s widow, Apostle Lilian Owusu’s remarriage.

According to John Kumah’s brother, the family do no oppose Lilian Owusu’s marriage, but they believe she could have honoured the brother’s sacrifice.

He explained that he wished his brother would see what is happening after his death.

Speaking in an interview, Frank Kumah stated, “When you make it seem like you only remember someone when you are enjoying the benefits, I feel some way about such people”.

“If you look at the four families John Kumah built around him, two have already moved on so quickly. People were fasting and praying for her to get another man to marry, yet this is someone who struggled to build the church she worships in,” he stated.

He added, “If someone gives you such honour, at least give him that respect, whether he is alive or dead. I even wrote on my Facebook page that if there is a second chance, my brother should come and see what is happening behind him after his death”.

“I will always advise people to take care of themselves before anything else, even including their children,” he said.

Meanwhile, Apostle Lilian Owusu has said she believes in forward ever and backwards never.

She asserted that when one is crying, God brings something to wipe one’s tears, adding that his new husband is not a replacement.

Apostle Lilian Owusu revealed she met her new husband at a business alliance and fell in love with him at first sight.

Speaking during a Thanksgiving service to her congregation on Sunday, December 21, 2025, Apostle Owusu detailed, “When you are crying, sometimes he brings something to wipe your tears. I think over the years, if you know me, I believe in forward ever and backwards never. I have made up my mind to move forward at all costs.

“I will not allow pain to cage me. I have a lot to do. This is the culture of the family, no matter what comes, we look at the positive side, and we move forward, and by the grace of God… my prayers and my request, God carry a man to the house of God.

“They came for a business alliance, and it was love at first sight. As soon as he saw me, he pursued, and fortunately, it was just within the time I was ready, “she said.

She added, “We have been praying, and God has answered those prayers, has given us a calm man, and he is not a replacement; nobody has said we have gotten a replacement. “

“God knows your journey, and he brings in people at particular times to support your journey. I thank God for bringing such a visionary, courageous and confident man into my life. I am moved by boldness, hard work, and visionary men”.

28 Chinese, 3 Ghanaians arrested for mining in Apamprama Forest

0

The Rapid Response team of the Forestry Commission has also arrested 28 Chinese nationals and three Ghanaians.

The Forestry Commission foils attempts by the galamseyers to mine illegally in the Apamprama Forest Reserve in the Ashanti Region.

According to the Forestry Commission, the miners were found to have pitched camp, pretending to be granted a permit to reclaim the land.

The illegal miners were arrested in Compartment 17 of the Apamprama Forest Reserve near the Obeng ne Obeng community, where four erected structures were immobilised.

One pickup truck, one Foton mini truck, and one generator were seized from the operation.

In a related operation by the Forestry Commission, eleven Chinese nationals and ten Ghanaians have been arrested by the Forestry Commission over illegal mining activities in the Yakombo Forest Reserve in the Buipe Forest District of the Savannah Region.

Reports reveal that the 21 arrested follow an intelligence-driven raid which occurred on Tuesday, December 2, by a 51-member team made up of forest guards.

The suspects were arrested in Ghana’s largest forest reserve.

The suspects arrested are namely:” Tang Shao Qi (28), He Peng (40), Zhou Qin Sar (25), Wu Xu (39), He Chuang Ye (45), Cheng Lin (40), Long Xi (32), Yang Gesheng (51), Zhang Honzhaojie (34), Zhou Peng (39), and Wu Yujie (24).

The Ghanaians suspected are Alhassan Yakubu, Daniel Mba (33), Pious Kwabena (20), Emmanuel Amankra (40), Seidu Suleman (44), Sampson Akawuni (22), Thadeus Gideon (27), Mohammed Salim (21), Mohammed Kanamu (25), and Saaka Yakubu (22)”.

The Forestry Commission operation also led to the seizure of one Toyota Hilux, two Great Wall pick-up trucks, three Howo tipper trucks, and one Man Diesel low-bed truck carrying an excavator.

The 21 suspects have since been transferred to the Damongo Regional Police Command for investigations and possible prosecution.

 Meanwhile, five Chinese galamseyers mining along the Birim River have been busted by the National Anti-Illegal Mining Operations Secretariat (NAIMOS).

Following the raid, two excavators were seized and immobilised with a Toyota Hilux and a Toyota Land Cruiser used by the miners were also seized.

The Chinese galamseyers’ makeshift structures, water pumps and other equipment were destroyed.

In related galamsey news, the Rapid Response team of the Forestry Commission has also arrested 28 Chinese nationals and three Ghanaians.

The illegal miners were arrested in Compartment 17 of the Apamprama Forest Reserve near the Obeng ne Obeng community, where four erected structures were immobilised.

One pickup truck, one Foton mini truck, and one generator were seized from the operation.

Meanwhile, Peter Lanchene Toobu, the Member of Parliament for Wa West and Vice Chairperson of Parliament’s Defence and Interior Committee, has criticised the GH₵150 million allocated to the National Anti-Illegal Mining Operations Secretariat (NAIMOS).

According to Peter Lanchene Toobu, the GH₵150 million for the NAIMOS in the fight against illegal mining is too small.

The lawmaker further asserted that Ato Forson, the Finance Minister, will do something about the allocation to NAIMOS in the 2026 mid-year budget.

The NDC MP is quoted by TV3 as having said, “GH¢150 million for NAIMOS, that is just in the budget. And I’m quite sure that it is too small. Looking at the volume of what they have to do, and their mandate, I’m sure in the media budget review, the Minister of Finance will do something about it”.

“Raise the strength to 1,000, give them full retooling, provide enough resources, and define a clear mandate with timelines. Soldiers can be trained for war and never see battle, but the galamsey menace is destroying our country. If we want the armed forces to succeed in enforcement, we must give them the tools, resources, and a defined timeline,” he stated.

His remarks come after Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, the Minister for Finance, has revealed that an amount of GH¢150 million has been allocated to the National Anti-Illegal Mining Operations Secretariat (NAIMOS) in the 2026 fiscal year to fight galamsey.

According to Dr Forson, the allocation demonstrates the Mahama government’s continued commitment to protecting Ghana’s natural environment.

Presenting the 2026 Budget Statement and Economic Policy to Parliament on Thursday, November 13, Dr Ato Forson stated, “An amount of GH¢150 million has been allocated to the National Anti-Illegal Mining Operations Secretariat (NAIMOS) for their activities against illegal mining and forest degradation”.

He added that the GH¢150m allocated will support ongoing enforcement, intelligence, and monitoring operations led by NAIMOS in the fight against illegal mining.

“I will arrest my own child if they steal state funds when I am president” – Ken Agyapong

0

Kennedy Agyapong, a New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer hopeful, has confidently stated he would arrest his own child who steals state funds.

According to Ken Agyapong, his children knowing who he is won’t even come close to state funds.

He highlighted that if he would arrest his own children who steal state funds, what of ministers who steal.

Ken Agyapong stressed that because of his principled nature, other NPP bigwigs are against his bid to lead the party.

Speaking to NPP delegates during his campaign runs, Kenned Agyapong stated, “If my own child steals state funds, I will arrest him; my children already know of my attitude, so they will not even come close to the state to become president son and come and disgrace me. I will arrest my own child.

So if I arrest my own son, when you are minister, and you make a mistake, what will I do to you? That is the reason why they do not want to vote for me. When that is not done, Ghana will never succeed.

When everyone comes, it’s his family and friends, and they come for their share, and they leave with the country left to go backwards. I am promising you, I kennedy Agyapong, I will serve this country with my heart and honesty”.

Some netizens reacting to Kennedy Agyapong’s remarks stated, “But your ‘own son’ will never have to steal state funds.  Only low-level civil servants do.  Your son would be awarded a juicy, over-bloated, nearly bursting government contract.  He will then be hailed as an astute businessman just like _____ (fill in the blank)”.

“It’s not true, though, and does he plan on appointing his children to offices? The children, too, are plenty, party members should relax koraa, lol”, a netizen added.

“Then arrest your wife, because she failed to install the street lights after getting a GH¢100 million streetlight contract… where are the street lights?”, a netizen reminded Ken.

An X user added, “There are some streetlight contract issues making waves, streets say your wife had a hand in it… @realKenAgyapong. Walk the talk by reporting your wife first? Then we’ll know you’re serious…. if not, that’s another joke no one will fall for. So you free our ears”.

Additionally, an X user added, “If you are rich in this country and want to help a Ghanaian, first read comments on social media about fellow Ghanaians and decide whether helping is even worth it. A simple Google search about this man would substantiate what he is saying, but no, they prefer ignorance and gyimie”.

“Who else has realised that he talks, threatens,  and brags too much but shows very little action?Do you remember this man and Obinim some time ago? There are many instances, even with Kevin Taylor’s case, in which he lost miserably. The other one too is a liar with zero competence”, a netizen noted.

Meanwhile, a latest poll by the Global Info Analytics in December 2025 has revealed that the former Assin Central legislator, Kennedy Agyapong, has gained huge momentum in the NPP presidential race.

According to the Global Info Analytics, Kennedy Agyapong has moved from 18 per cent to 31 per cent in the NPP race.

However, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the former Vice President, remains in the lead with 45% in December.

The poll revealed that Bawumia led the race with 45 per cent, Ken Agyapong with 31 per cent, with 11 per cent undisclosed and 9 per cent undecided.

The survey, which was conducted through a random computer-assisted telephone interview of about 3000 delegates, revealed Ken Agyapong made 13% gains on his November output, while Dr Bawumia moved closer to the 50% by 2 per cent.

With a little over a month to the NPP primary, the former Vice President will require at least 6% of the undecided votes.

However, for Kennedy Agyapong to clinch victory, he will be required to secure nearly all the 19 plus percent undecided and undisclosed votes.

“It is a curse for me” – Despite breaks silence on Akosua Serwaa and Odo Broni feud

Dr Osei Kwame Despite, a Businessman and media mogul, has finally broken his silence concerning the feud between the wives of music icon Daddy Lumba.

According to Dr Osei Kwame Despite, it will be a curse for him to support one side during the commotion that ensued during the funeral planning and subsequent court cases.

He revealed that he gave Lumba’s family GH¢100,000 to support the family in public.

Dr Kwame Despite further added that, Akosua Serwaa visited him upon his return to Ghana from Germany with her kids, and he later gave money and a car to Papa Shee to be given to her, but never supported anyone.

He stressed that he had never spoken to Serwaa nor Odo Broni’s lawyer, and did not know what was happening.

Speaking in a viral video shared on X, Dr Kwame Despite detailed, “Charles was a close associate for a long time. When his death happened, I went to commiserate with the family and gave them GH¢100,000 to support the family. I gave the money to them in public and not privately”.

“I didn’t have any interactions with the family after that until I received a call from Serwaa in Germany informing me of her arrival for the funeral,” he explained.

He added, “Serwaa, upon her arrival, came to greet me with her kids after visiting Charles’ house. A few days before the one-week observation, I was planning a trip to Holland for a funeral, which also clashed with the date for Charles’ funeral,”

“I gave money and a car to Papa Shee to be given to Serwaa. I don’t have an issue with anyone, so I’m surprised at the claims that I am supporting someone. It is a curse for me to even do such a thing. I’ve never spoken to Serwaa nor Odo Broni’s lawyer, and do not know what is happening. I haven’t spoken against anyone,” he insisted.

Meanwhile, the Kumasi High Court later declared Akosua Serwaah Fosuh and Priscilla Ofori, popularly known as Odo Broni, as the surviving spouses of the late highlife legend Daddy Lumba.

The court presided over by Justice Dorinda Smith‑Arthur ruled that Akosua Serwaa cannot be declared the sole surviving spouse, as the evidence she provided did not affirm her claims.

During proceedings on Friday, November 28, evidence showed Odo Broni was customarily married to Daddy Lumba before his passing.

The court also highlighted that Akosua Serwaa was customarily married to Daddy Lumba, but rejected her alleged German marriage certificate presented as it was not an original certificate.

The court ruled that both Akosua Serwaa and Odo Broni are recognised as surviving wives of Daddy Lumba and must be acknowledged by the Abusuapanyin in the performance of the widowhood rites.

 The plaintiff, Akosua Serwaa Fosu, was seeking a court declaration that she is the only surviving wife of the late musician, allowing her to have exclusive authority to carry out all widowhood rituals.

She was also demanding that the court restrain Odo Broni from falsely claiming to be the late singer’s wife.

Daddy Lumba was later buried on December 13, following subsequent back and forth in court a day before the burial.

The Accra High Court paved the way for the funeral of highlife legend Daddy Lumba, scheduled for December 13, 2025, to proceed as planned.

This follows the failure of applicants seeking to block the arrangements amid a family dispute to deposit GH¢2 million into court by the 2:00 pm deadline on December 12, as ordered by the judge to cover potential costs.

The court subsequently struck out their injunction application, lifting the earlier legal barrier.

“Attack on GoldBod all about Sammy Gyamfi, not losses” – Steve Manteaw

0

Dr Emmanuel Steve Asare Manteaw, a Policy analyst and communication strategist, has claimed that all the attacks on GoldBod are because of the Chief Executive Officer, Sammy Gyamfi.

According to Dr Manteaw, the brouhaha around GoldBod is politically motivated and rooted in personal attacks against Sammy Gyamfi.

Dr Manteaw stressed that if anyone else were put in charge of the affairs of the Goldbod, all the noise would be gone.

He further urged Sammy Gyamfi not to be distracted by the few people making so much noise as he has the full support of the majority of Ghanaians.

Speaking on Metro TV’s Good Morning Ghana, Dr Manteaw stated, “He sounded a bit frustrated with what appears to be an attempt to demonise the institution”.

“I think the attack on the GoldBod is all because of Sammy Gyamfi. If you put another person there, all this noise will stop,” he stated.

He added, “It can be frustrating when you are doing something with the best of intentions, and you find people trying to distract you from your mission”.

“He’s a very smart guy. He’s doing a good job. He should remain focused. He’s got the majority of Ghanaians behind him and should not be distracted by the very few people making so much noise,” he added.

Addressing journalists in Accra on Monday, December 29, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah called for a bipartisan investigation into the operation of Goldbod.

He stated that a parliamentary ad-hoc committee should conduct a bipartisan investigation into all contracts, licenses, intermediaries, and related entities of the Goldbod.

He further noted that Ghana has lost $214 million, heading to $300million under the Bank of Ghana and the Ghana Gold Board and urged the committee to call on the two institutions to disclose their fee structures, pricing formulas, aggregator selection criteria, and foreign exchange arrangements.

Speaking to journalists in Accra, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah stated, “We are demanding the following: a bipartisan parliamentary inquiry into the circumstances under which the Republic of Ghana has lost $214 million, heading to $300million, to be done here by the parliament of Ghana.

“Under this bipartisan enquiry, we will be expecting the BoG and the GoldBod to publish the fee structure, the pricing formula, the aggregator selecting criteria and all foreign exchange arrangements that they have tied to this scheme, which has led to this loss.

“…One of the things we will be asking for is the suspension of permits in forest reserves and the introduction of serious measures on traceability because, as at now, we have every reason to believe that state money is being used to buy Galamsey gold…Where negligence or corruption is proven, prosecutions must follow, and all recoverable funds must be given back to the state,” Nkrumah stated.

Kwame Despite noted that he exports salt across Africa and questioned why it surprises people when he enjoys luxury cars despite his investments.

Despite questioned why it surprises people when he enjoys luxury cars despite such large-scale investments.

Speaking during an interview, Dr Osei Kwame Despite stated, “Whatever the public is saying, they should say it, as for me, I have placed everything in the hands of God. People could just criticise you for not even knowing what they were talking about.

Sometimes I even wonder who they are talking about, if you like, anyone in Ghana can move their car to my salt factory and see it is about 700 acres. I have been in this country pumping seawater to make salt. Sometimes when you go there, more than 600 people are there mining salt.

Go there and see, there are Niger cars loading salt, looking at the salt production there, and my factory, if I gain weath can’t I use it to feed myself and buy cars, is that a bad thing?

Some netizens reacting to Kwame Despite’s comments stated, “……..? I know why Elon Musk has a networth of $750 Billion. Everyone knows how he made his money. Some people in Ghana are rich without a source. They point to Cold Stores and Farming”.

Another added, “This man gets time, kraaa Dey reply . Me I won’t even mind you po na if you think sika duro is easy go do some errr lol hahahahaha. Ghanaians are funny”.

“God bless you shatta wale small neck press, now he is feeling it we like it like this in town. Everyone will start respecting other people’s hustle”, a netizen added.

A netizen added, “Mr Despite have time for stupid people. The fact is, so far as u have never seen 1m dollars doesn’t mean someone can’t make it in a day. Little-minded Ghanaians and Africans, there is real money in Ghana and in Africa. Ohia aduro deɛ lalai na sika duro deɛ yh. Go get some, eh. Ntweeee”.

“Most Ghanaians are bitter, especially the young people in this country. We all heard the name of Despite when we were young. People allegedly said he was an illicit drug dealer; meanwhile, there’s no proof of evidence to support this claim. He keeps winning while you live frugally”, one X user added.

“What a joke!” – Sammy Gyamfi blasts minority over BoG-GoldBod $214m loss

0

Sammy Gyamfi, the Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod), has fired back at the minority in parliament over the IMF findings, which revealed the BoG-GoldBod made some $214m losses in their operations.

According to Sammy Gyamfi, the minority are a joke, but welcomes their calls for a probe into the activities of the Goldbod.

Sammy Gyamfi stated he was going to respond to issues surrounding the IMF’s reported loss of $214 million under the Gold for Reserves (G4R) program of the Bank of Ghana.

However, due to the Minority Caucus press conference and several uninformed and unfounded claims, he decided to give a teaser.

The Goldbod CEO further detailed the losses incurred by the Bank of Ghana from artisanal small-scale gold purchases under its Gold for Reserves and Gold for Oil (G4O) programs since inception.

He wrote, “AUDITED LOSSES FROM ARTISANAL SMALL-SCALE GOLD PURCHASES UNDER THE DOMESTIC GOLD PURCHASE PROGRAM

2023 AUDITED LOSSES

G4O -GHS1.18Billion (gold component)

G4R – GHS973Million

Total losses – GHS2.15 billion.

2024 AUDITED LOSSES

G4O -GHS667.79 Million (gold component)

* G4R – GHS4.18Billion

Total losses- GHS4.84Billion

2025 UNAUDITED LOSSES

G4O- discontinued

G4R- approximately GHS2.3 billion ($214 million) from January to September, according to the IMF. This figure is unaudited”.

Sammy Gyamfi further called out the NPP minority in parliament, saying, “Now here is the interesting paradox; the NPP under whom the BoG made cumulative losses (2023-2024) of GHS7 billion under the G4O and G4R programs, is calling for a probe into how the BoG and GoldBod have reduced their losses to GHS3.3 billion. Lol!

What is even more revealing is that, when the BoG under the NPP in the years 2023 and 2024 made total G4O and G4R losses of GHS2.15 billion and GHS4.84 billion respectively, the Ghana cedi cumulatively depreciated against the U.S dollar by 27.8% in 2023 and 19.2% in 2022. While inflation for 2023 and 2024 stood at 22.3% and 23.8% respectively.

Today in 2025, the NPP is complaining about the fact that the BoG working in conjunction with the GoldBod, has reduced their recurring G4R and G4O losses to GHS3.3 billion and yet, inflation has declined for 11 consecutive months from 23.8% to 6.3%, while the Ghana cedi has cumulatively appreciated by over 35% against the U.S. dollar (the first time the cedi is appreciating since the year 2007).

What a joke! Well, they say they want a probe. We welcome that probe”, his post concluded.

Sammy Gyamfi’s post follows, the Minority in Parliament, led by Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, Member of Parliament for Ofoase Ayirebi, who are demanding a bipartisan parliamentary probe into BoG-GoldBod $214m loss.

Addressing journalists in Accra on Monday, December 29, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah called for a bipartisan investigation into the operation of Goldbod.

He stated that a parliamentary ad-hoc committee should conduct a bipartisan investigation into all contracts, licenses, intermediaries, and related entities of the Goldbod.

Tragic – Six-year-old boy drowns in a water tank while retrieving a ball

0

A six-year-old boy identified as Godfred Aboagye has drowned in a water storage tank in Kasoa Wallantu.

Reports suggest the tragic incident occurred when Young Godfred was playing with his ball, which accidentally bounced into an open, ground-level water storage within the compound.

In attempts to retrieve his ball, he entered the tank and was unable to climb out or stay afloat.

The Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) Central Regional Fire Service detailed that they received a distress call on Monday, December 29, at 5:03 p.m. Their team arrived at the scene by 5:13 p.m., and the rescue operation concluded at 5:28 p.m.

They confirmed that the child fell into a tank filled with water and was retrieved dead.

Abdul Wasiu Hudu, the Divisional Officer Grade II (DO II) and the Central Regional PRO of the GNFS, made a plea to property owners and guardians.

He stressed that preventable tragedies often occur in seconds when children are left unsupervised.

Part of the GNFS statement read, “GNFS strongly cautions parents, guardians, and property owners to ensure that all water storage facilities, tanks, wells, and pits are securely covered, particularly in homes where children are present”.

In related tragic news in Decmber 2025, a devastating fire outbreak at Abuakwa Manhyia in the Atwima Nwabiagya South Municipality of the Ashanti Region has claimed the lives of six people.

The tragic incident killed six people, including a 3-month-old baby, at a residential apartment.

According to reports, all the deceased were female, including a three-month-old infant.

Reports suggest the tragic incident occurred around 12:30 a.m. on Monday, December 22, 2025.

Evans Opoku, the Assembly Member for Abuakwa Manhyia, revealed the incident happened shortly after power was restored to parts of the Ashanti Region following a temporary outage on Sunday evening.

Personnel of the Ghana National Fire Service from Nkawie and Twedie Fire stations were dispatched to the scene to help fight the devastating blaze.

According to reports, the victims were, however, trapped in the apartment at the time of the fire, which led to their deaths.

The Ghana Police Service, in the meantime have identified the burnt bodies and is making arrangements to convey the bodies to the morgue as investigations into the tragic incident continue.

Meanwhile, the exact cause of the incident is yet to be established at the time of publication.

“GoldBod’s losses of $214M on $5BN of gold are real” – Bright Simons

0

Bright Simons, IMANI Africa’s Honorary Vice President, has said the losses of $214M on $5BN of gold made by the Goldbod are real.

According to Bright Simons, GoldBod’s losses are significantly higher than the loss-rate that has been crippling Ghana’s Cocoa board.

He, however, noted that the Bank of Ghana (BoG) also incurs sterilisation and opportunity costs, adding that without central bank funding, GoldBod would be insolvent within 11 months.

In a social media post on December 30, 2025, Bright Simons wrote, “GoldBod’s losses of $214M on $5BN of gold are real. It is significantly higher than the loss-rate that has been crippling Cocobod.

But those losses don’t tell the full story. Bank of Ghana (BoG) also incurs sterilisation and opportunity costs.

The losses are structural: GoldBod is compelled to buy high and sell low more often than it should. Read the piece for concrete scenarios. Without central bank funding, GoldBod would be insolvent within ~11 months. Its undisbursed 2025 budget allocation of US$279 million would last less than one year”.

Bright Simons further noted, “GoldBod did contribute something to the Cedi’s stability in 2025, but it is not the main factor. No one factor dictates exchange rates. Economists can prioritise over 15 variables.

Because Ghana’s exports are so dominated by gold, and exports are an important factor in exchange rate movements, we must bear in mind that gold prices rose over 70 per cent in 2025 alone.

Historically, however, such extended gold rallies explain only about 8 percentage points of FX strength. The Cedi, however, appreciated by roughly 24 per cent in 2025 (end-2024 to end-2025. The remaining improvement reflects IMF discipline, debt restructuring, and policy intervention that skewed it away from its likely natural path”.

His post added, “GoldBod’s maximum plausible contribution is therefore bounded and secondary. 3 percentage points would be a fair estimate. Continued losses would not be a trivial matter. They will hit BoG’s net reserve accumulation. And generate additional costs because BoG “creates” the money used to buy the gold and must mop it up to prevent inflation.

The methods at BoG’s disposal for this whole operation are expensive. Thus, losses weaken BoG’s ability to keep cushioning the Cedi.

If the gold price falls, all these risks will be hugely magnified. In a dangerous procyclical way”.

Bright Simons further warned that if Ghana must keep the GoldBod, Ghanaians must pray that gold prices stay up.

“Ideally, stability should not be built on opaque subsidies. Hence, why some of us have urged caution and openness about these state-led gold programs since 2022.

“But if we must keep on with GoldBod and the other gold gigs, then we must pray hard that gold prices stay up. Because, in the end, the ledger always balances”.

It must be noted that the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has raised concerns over the reported losses of Goldbod.

The IMF described them as a potential risk to Ghana’s macroeconomic stability.

They further attributed the losses to transactions involving artisanal and small-scale mining, dore gold and referenced alleged “GoldBod off-taker fees.”

Meanwhile, the Minority in Parliament, led by Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, Member of Parliament for Ofoase Ayirebi, is demanding a bipartisan parliamentary probe into BoG-GoldBod $214m loss.

According to Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, they in the minority believes state money is being used to buy galamsey gold.
