Ghana is losing more than GH¢6.2 billion every year due to poor waste management and sanitation, a new report has revealed. The report, “Waste or Wealth? The Economic Returns to Sanitation Investment in Ghana,” indicates that the country spends far more treating diseases linked to poor sanitation than it does preventing them. According to the study, Ghana spends about GH¢5.58 billion annually managing sanitation-related diseases such as malaria, cholera, and typhoid–illnesses often associated with dirty surroundings, choked drains, and uncollected refuse. Beyond medical costs, the report estimates that the country loses about GH¢650 million in productivity each year as illness…

Musk reposted a claim by the X account Wild Videos recently, alleging Nigeria had “become the first country to ban white and British models in all advertising.” His terse reaction and retweeting, a single “hmm” was enough to ignite an international…

Kenya’s Savings and Credit Cooperative Societies (SACCOs) remain one of the most trusted institutions for teachers, civil servants, and professionals to grow their savings. Beyond offering convenient loan products and secure savings accounts, SACCOs reward members through dividends on share capital and interest on deposits. For teachers, who often depend on structured incomes and disciplined saving plans, SACCO dividends represent more than just bonuses; they are a crucial component of long-term financial planning, from school fees and housing to retirement cushions. Tracking SACCO performance across the country reveals stark differences in payouts. While some institutions declare above 20 percent on…

Bola A. Akinterinwa Political governance in Nigeria does not appear to have been rooted in historical lessons. Whenever a government comes to power, by election or by unconstitutional means, there is hardly any linkage of continuity between the immediate past government and the succeeding government. What is more interesting to note is when a military junta ousts an elected government on the basis of allegations of corruption, nepotism and poor governance, one would have expected that the military would truly come to serve as a corrective regime. Most unfortunately, they continue with the same poor governance in a new form.…

1 This is the second leg of the series we started on Nigeria and Ireland. It is time to be more strategic and purposeful. The Nigeria–Ireland relationship is often described as warm, historically grounded and people-centred. That description is accurate but incomplete. Warmth without structure rarely translates into development outcomes. History without strategy rarely produces influence. For both countries to be serious about turning goodwill into tangible gains, then the next step is not rhetorical celebration of ties but the operationalisation of a clear strategic agenda. At the heart of that agenda sits the Nigerian diaspora in Ireland— one of…
