Artisanal fishers in Ghana have, since time immemorial, relied on the ocean not just for their livelihoods, but also as a place where they have gained significant knowledge by observation and long-standing experience engaging with it. Through their trade, artisanal fishers are able to read slight changes in ocean currents, water colour, track bird movements and moon phases to predict fish availability and productive fishing grounds. In some cases, too, they are simply able to forecast weather conditions just by observing the shoreline. However, this knowledge is mostly ignored in formal fisheries management policies. As a result, Ghana’s fisheries continue…

President John Mahama Last Friday, Ghanaian workers had another ritual of rhetoric as they listened yet again to promises of better days ahead from the President.

Morose workers, they rested their heads in tired hands, visibly spooked as they listened in Koforidua and elsewhere if they have enough credit on their meters to power their radio…

Once upon a time—actually, just this past week—Ghanaian social media dropped everything. Giveaways were abandoned. Relationship coaches went silent. Even the sacred “Good morning family” messages reported late for duty. Because one church moment had turned timelines into pulpits and comment sections into revival grounds, complete with side arguments, scripture quotations, and unsolicited theology degrees. At the center of this digital crusade stands Sam Korankye Ankrah, with a pronouncement that did not end at “Amen”… it travelled. And like most things that travel in Ghana, it did not go quietly. It all began when a Methodist pastor reportedly described non–tithe-paying…
