The plan “Let’s have some fun. We got ourselves into the World Cup, now it’s time to have fun together.” – Dailon Livramento The Blue Sharks of Cape Verde are swimming in completely uncharted waters as they make their World Cup debut, but you wouldn’t want to bet against them. The tiny archipelago off the coast of West Africa only played their first World Cup Qualifier in 2003, but if any team can handle the pressure of a meteoric rise to the top of world football it is Cape Verde. After all, the country’s national slogan – morabeza – roughly translates to…

Before a single item can cross an international border or hit a supermarket shelf in Europe, it must pass through a solitary office at Accra-Shiashie – simply because Ghana Standards Authority has no offices in the regions’ districts and laboratories. This is the plight of manufacturers, exporters and small-scale producers in Tamale, Takoradi, Bolgatanga, Sunyani, Dambai, Keta and beyond, as each…

Ace Ankomah Ghanaian lawyer Ace Ankomah has told graduates that the Artificial Intelligence (AI) age will be defined by human character, not technology, and urged Africa to help shape it.

AI was already reshaping economies, politics and daily life, he said, but it could not supply conscience, wisdom or moral judgement, and those were the things that would decide how the technology was used. Much of his message was aimed at…

Their chests glistening with sweat beneath low tarps that provide partial relief from the intense heat.

In the vibrant landscape of West African politics, Ghana has long worn its title as the “black star” of democratic stability with pride. Yet, as our nation navigates the mid-point of the current administration under the “Resetting Ghana Agenda” and political party structures quietly re-align themselves for the 2028 presidential race, we are forced to confront a sobering truth: a democracy cannot survive on peaceful elections alone. True democratic resilience requires a fundamental shift from the cult of personality to the strength of permanent state institutions.A viral educational feature by the historical media channel The American recently highlighted the remarkable…
