Over the past few weeks, I have been following the events happening in Nepal with a mixture of shock, sadness, and deep reflection. It is not every day that we see a country being shaken to its core by its own citizens, particularly its young and energetic people who should be building the country. What started as discontent over a government policy has quickly evolved into a national crisis that has shaken and disturbed the political order, uncovered deep frustrations, and written a new chapter in Nepal’s history. How It All Started The spark that lit the fire was the government’s decision to impose a ban on popular social media platforms such as Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, and others. One may ask why. The main reason was that these companies had failed to comply with new regulations requiring them to register locally and appoint representatives in Nepal. But for ordinary citizens, especially the younger generation, this move felt more like a dictated order than a regulatory step. F...

  When it comes to celebrity weddings, most of us expect luxury, fashion, and a lot of headlines. But every now and then, a wedding takes place that travels beyond glamour and becomes a story of culture and love. That is exactly what happened with the marriage of singer Mr Eazi and actress Temi Otedola . Their union was not just about two people tying the knot. It was a journey across three continents, three styles of celebration and unforgettable moments. I followed their wedding story closely even though I wasn't there, but what impressed me most was how they managed to balance simplicity and culture. Let me take you on a journey of my personal thoughts on this one-of-a-kind wedding. It's my personal thought. Leave your thought in the comment session. The Beginning: A Civil Wedding in Monaco, France The journey of this unforgettable moment began in  Monaco , and it was as romantic as we can all imagine. The couple chose May 9th for their civil ceremony, which was not jus...

The news of Daddy Lumba’s passing hit me in a way I was not fully prepared for. Personally, it was unexpected. Like many young Ghanaians, I grew up to love his songs, his unique voice, his message, and the emotion he carried in every lyric. To hear that he was no more felt like a personal loss, not just to his family but to the whole country and even beyond. In Ghana, when someone passes away or dies, we usually gather for what we call the “one week” observance. It is a time to mourn together, to reflect, and to officially make preparation for the main or actual funeral. For Daddy Lumba, such a day could never be ordinary. Never! Not for a legend like Daddy Lumba. He was not just a musician; he was an icon, a storyteller, a father, and for some of us, even a teacher through his music. The Candlelight Vigils Before the official one week, there were candlelight vigils in both Accra and Kumasi. I wasn’t there in person, but I followed closely. Watching videos online and seeing the pict...

  The wait is finally over. On Saturday, 23rd August 2025 , the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) officially released the much-awaited  Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) results . For months, students, parents, and teachers across the country have been holding their breath, and now the results are out for all candidates to check. As someone who has sat for this kind of before, I see this moment not only as the end of a cycle but also as the beginning of a new chapter for thousands of young people who also sat for the exams this year. Behind every result slip is a story—of sleepless nights, mock exams, nervous prayers, and hope for a greener future. The ultimate announcement According to WAEC, the results were dispatched to schools through the Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Directors of Education. This means each school will soon have hard copies for collection. But in today’s digital age, candidates can also check their results instantly online th...

  For weeks, social media and entertainment circles in Ghana and beyond have been buzzing and chanting about one name: Shatta Wale . The Dancehall King, known in private life as Charles Nii Armah Mensah, found himself at the center of a storm after being held by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO). His arrest and subsequent detention made headlines not only in Ghana but across the world, largely because of his immense influence in music and the controversy surrounding a luxury car—the Lamborghini Urus. Now, after days of uncertainty and speculation, the musician has finally been set free. His exit from custody has left fans heaving a sigh of relief while critics and industry watchers analyze what this episode means for the future of the self-proclaimed “Shatta Movement boss.” The Drama Behind the Detention The trouble began when EOCO picked up Shatta Wale in connection with a high-profile investigation into a Lamborghini believed to have ties with a $4 million fraud ...

Wednesday, August 6, 2025, will forever remain a dark day in Ghana’s history. I was getting ready for the day when I received the shocking news that a Ghana Armed Forces helicopter had crashed. At first, I didn’t believe it. But as updates began to pour in, the truth settled in painfully—the crash had taken the lives of eight people , including two respected ministers and other important personalities who were on board. This blog is my way of expressing not just what happened, but how deeply this tragedy has shaken me, and indeed, the whole country. The Crash That Shook a Nation The military helicopter, a Z‑9 type, left Accra that morning, heading towards Obuasi in the Ashanti Region. These were not just any passengers on board—they were national leaders on duty, committed to building a better Ghana. Sadly, the aircraft never reached its destination. It crashed in the Adansi District , and there were no survivors. The victims on board were: Dr. Edward Omane Boamah , our Minist...
