Writer Every time a parent watches a child walk through a school gate, there is an unspoken expectation. The child will return home safer, wiser, and better prepared for the future. That expectation is shattered when the very people entrusted to educate and protect children become the ones who exploit them. A teacher who engages in a sexual relationship with a student does more than violate professional ethics. He destroys trust, abuses power, undermines education, and inflicts wounds that may last a lifetime. Such conduct transforms a place of learning into a place of fear and vulnerability. Across Ghana,…

It is three weeks since the country witnessed two important incidents related to abuse of the justice delivery system, and which I thought would generate some public reactions, notably from the quarters of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC). But it seems there has been none, or at least no reaction publicly. And I wonder why. I am referring to what I view as the historic double developments of Thursday, May 28, 2026, when Ghana’s political landscape experienced under different circumstances, and in different locations, two extremely significant and curiously related events. One happened in Parliament House in Accra,…

The writer The troubling scenes unfolding in South Africa, where fellow Africans are being harassed, beatened, threatened, and told to “go back home,” are unsettling to every conscience across this continent. As the June 30 ultimatum by vigilante groups such as ‘March and March’ approaches, the urgency and ugliness of the situation demands a simple but profound question: if Africans must go, then where should they go to? Though almost like a rhetorically flourish, the question is rooted in reality, history, and the future we claim to seek as Africans. In many ways, Africa is confronting itself through the…

Under-15s engaging in sex – GHS worried Graphic Online
Sedina Tamakloe-Attionu Many Ghanaians do not trust the government and would always want to ascribe shadowiness to everything that emanates from the Presidency and its appendages. Such suspicions are grounded in precedents. Many exposés have been released to the public through the Minority in Parliament’s painstaking oversight responsibilities over government business. The government of settings, as the youth would describe the propaganda-laced operations, do not portray the President and his team in good light and it hurts. Taking one step forward and doing double that backwards does not augur well for progress, unfortunately we are in a resetting mode…

The writer Loyalty to a party is not measured by the number of years on a membership card. It is measured by what you did for the party in its finest hours and what you refused to do to it in its darkest ones. Supporting the New Patriotic Party (NPP), a party whose history spans decades and whose roots run deep into the Danquah-Dombo-Busia tradition, is not for the faint-hearted. Every leader who has sought to carry this party’s standard has faced challenges that appeared, at the time, almost insurmountable. What is striking is not just that they overcame.…

Igbo Community in Ghana: Chukwudi Jude Ihenetu is not our leader; his ‘repackaged title’ of King of Igbos to ‘leader’ does not change anything.

According to the community, “repackaging himself under a different title while creating the false impression that he speaks on behalf of all Igbos in Ghana” was “misleading” for him to present himself as the Igbo Community Leader in Ghana.

Sedina Tamakloe-Attionu Franklin Cudjoe has announced that Sedina Tamakloe-Attionu is unwell and under house arrest. Hmm. The announcement emanating from him after many questions about her whereabouts made interesting brooding. Given his links with government, there was no doubt about the authenticity of the disclosure. In Ghana, under an NDC government, anything can happen. That is why many are doubting whether the lady will actually do time as the outcome of the adjudication spelt out.

Education Ministry Directs Suspension Of SHS Graduation Peacefmonline.com
The late Avinu Innocentia, UCC student Last week’s reports about scattered incidents of violence across the country, some involving students, cast a shadow on security in the country. The reports also point at a society in a degenerative mode even as adults or stakeholders with oversight responsibilities over the youth fold their arms somewhat helplessly and sometimes perhaps not taking note of the developing anomalies. We stand the risk of losing a generation should we continue the indifference towards taking responsibility for moulding our youth. A female student of the University Of Cape Coast was found dead at a nearby…
