Instead of sterile ringing, callers were greeted by highlife classics, gospel choruses, or the latest Afrobeats hits. It felt personal. It felt modern. More importantly, it felt like progress for Ghanaian music.Telecom giants, particularly MTN Ghana with its “CallerTunez” service, rode that wave brilliantly in the mid-to-late 2000s. By around 2008, CRBTs had become a cultural staple across Africa, and Ghana was no exception. Subscribers loved it. Artists…

For decades, our national discourse has been trapped in a zero-sum illusion: the false belief that to lift the poor, we must restrict or heavily penalize the wealthy and successful. This mindset breeds over-regulation, unpredictable taxation, and a hostile environment for the enterprise engines that drive national growth.To break this cycle, Ghana must look to a timeless truth articulated in 1914 by former US President Calvin Coolidge: “Don’t expect to…
