Nigeria’s Nwabali opens up on anguish

Stanley Nwabali is the Captain of the Super Eagles Stanley Nwabali is the Captain of the Super Eagles

Veteran Nigerian goalkeeper, Stanley Nwabali, has revealed that he nearly quit the national team after learning about the death of his mother during the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).

He disclosed that he was informed of his mother’s passing on December 31, 2025, while resting at the team hotel ahead of other AFCON matches.

The goalkeeper noted that he was deeply saddened and pained by the loss of his mother, who was very dear to him and with whom he shared many cherished moments.

“I don’t want to talk about my parents because tomorrow should be crossover night, right? Yeah. Today, my mom died around 12. I try to keep a lot of things to myself, try to move on, try to be a strong guy.

“Most times, I feel like quitting, you know, because of mom and dad. But my mom was so dear to me. It’s really painful, man. It’s really painful to be talking about my mom today, bro. It hurts. It really hurts,” he told the media.

The Super Eagles shot‑stopper further indicated that losing his father in November and then his mother in December nearly made him lose focus on football, but some of his teammates encouraged him to carry on.

“Let me talk as a soccer player, as a human being in general to lose both parents at the same time. My dad died last month. My mom died today. And I’m standing here playing football. It’s true, some people move on, some people don’t. Honestly, I wanted to leave football, you understand me? But with the help of some of my teammates, I stayed,” he added.

Nwabali will lead Nigeria into the knockout stage after their brilliant group‑stage performance, where they amassed nine points from three matches.

Free Ato Forson from Defence Minister duty – Franklin Cudjoe urges Mahama


The CEO of the IMANI Centre for Policy and Education, Franklin Cudjoe, has urged President John Dramani Mahama to relieve Finance Minister Ato Forson of his additional role as Defence Minister to allow him to focus on fiscal discipline and the execution of major government projects.

In a statement shared on social media, Cudjoe commended President Mahama for a strong start in office but cautioned that 2026 will be a critical year for the rollout of high-budget projects.

“Now though the honeymoon is truly over. 2026 is a crucial year for the rollout of some of your Big Push projects with significant budgets. Please free Finance Minister Ato Forson from the additional duty as Defence Minister so he can focus and continue being fiscally disciplined,” he urged.

He recommended creating an Administrator or Assessor-General within the civil service to oversee government projects, conduct risk analyses, and ensure timely delivery while reducing opportunities for corruption.

Cudjoe also suggested strengthening the Cabinet Office to coordinate accountability across ministries, departments, and agencies.

“We do not want to spend time and money setting up another ORAL after your tenure. We are already suffocating from the organised loot and heist under the last guy. We may not survive the next one. We can reduce or eliminate theft and looting before they occur even though, on balance, most of your appointees are fairly responsible and smarter,” he said.

He praised Executive Secretary Dr. Callistus Mahama for his efficiency, urging that this standard be maintained across the Presidency.

The IMANI CEO emphasized that the public will continue to monitor and report on the execution of these projects to prevent losses and inefficiencies similar to those witnessed under the previous administration.

Congratulations on your first year in office

Former Vice President and New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer hopeful, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has congratulated President John Dramani Mahama on completing his first year in office, describing the mandate entrusted to him as a sacred responsibility.

In a New Year message, Dr. Bawumia said he sincerely wishes the President well and urged him to prioritise the protection of Ghana’s peace, stability and national unity.

He noted that Ghana has long been regarded as a beacon of stability in a region prone to unrest and cautioned against allowing the country’s democratic and security foundations to weaken.

Dr. Bawumia observed that the foundation inherited by the Mahama administration was solid in many respects and stressed the need to build on existing structures rather than allow them to erode.

He further referenced the 2025 Global Peace Index, which ranked Ghana 60th globally and seventh in Sub-Saharan Africa, warning that the decline points to emerging security concerns and pockets of unrest that must be addressed.

According to him, safeguarding peace and unity remains critical to Ghana’s continued progress and democratic development.

“I congratulate President John Dramani Mahama on his first year in office and I sincerely wish him well in the discharge of his mandate. The Ghanaian people have bestowed a sacred trust on him, and he cannot afford to fail them. I therefore urge him to continue to guard jealousy, the peace, stability and unity of our nation.

“Ghana has always stood out as a beacon in a region that has seen too much turmoil and instability. The foundation President Mahama inherited was solid in many ways. It is imperative that we build on it and not let it slip. I say this because this matters more now than ever. You may have heard about the results of the 2025 Global Peace Index. Ghana has dropped 6 places to 60 first in the world and from 4th to 7th in Sub-Saharan Africa. They point to growing security worries and pockets of unrest in the country,” he said.

LilWin is a Kumawood actor LilWin is a Kumawood actor

A video of Ghanaian Kumawood actor Kwadwo Nkansah, popularly known as LilWin, has sparked widespread discussions on social media.

In the video, which was shared on X on January 1, 2026, the Kumawood actor is seen spraying cedi notes on the leader of the Philadelphia Movement during the church’s 31st night crossover service.

In the footage, LilWin is dressed in military camouflage and is seen spraying about 30 bundles of cedi notes on the prophet.

As the actor sprayed the money, Prophet Adom Kyei Duah, who appeared overwhelmed, was also seen in a worshipful mood.

The video has triggered numerous reactions on social media, with some netizens questioning the rationale behind the actor’s actions.

While some netizens have condemned LilWin’s act, others have questioned whether Christianity has now become a space for people to display their wealth.

Relive the 90s: Joy FM’s 90’s Jam takes over this Friday

If you miss the days when music had groove, attitude and unforgettable lyrics, Joy FM is inviting you to relive it all again. The much-loved 90’s Jam returns tomorrow, bringing back the sound, style and spirit of the decade many still call the golden era of music.

From classic jams to dancefloor anthems, the 90’s Jam promises a night packed with nostalgia, energy and good vibes. The event comes off on Friday, January 2, at Pleasant Gardens in Dzorwulu, Accra, starting from 6:00 pm and running straight through the night till dawn.

Speaking on the Joy FM Super Morning Show on Thursday, January 1, 2026, General Manager for Sales and Marketing at Multimedia Group Limited, David Max-Fugar, said everything has been put in place to give patrons a better experience than last year.

“Last year, there were concerns about the cabanas. I can assure everybody that those concerns have been fixed. Everything is fixed. It’s very conducive,” he said.

However, he noted that space will be more exclusive this year.

“Unfortunately, we don’t have the large numbers we had last year. We have only 13 cabanas, so they are very limited. If you call the number we’ve been sharing, you register and pay for your cabana,” he explained.

He added that VIP and executive tables are also limited.

“The VIP tables are thin this year. We want to make sure our patrons get the experience we want to put out there,” he said.

One big upgrade this year is more room to dance.

“We’ve expanded the arrangements a bit, so there’s more dancing space this year than we had last year,” he said.

Parking and security, he assured, have also been improved. “The parking area has been well done. We can take double the number of cars we took last year,” he said.

On safety, he said that security has been taken more seriously. “We met the security team. The police were there yesterday. So the safety of life and property is assured,” he noted.

He, however, gave a special caution to patrons arriving on motorbikes.

“If you’re coming with a motorbike, you’ll need to provide evidence that you’re coming for the event. Once you do that, you’ll be allowed in and directed to a designated parking area. It’s very important and it’s for the safety of all our patrons,” he said.

Mr Max-Fugar said the organisers are building on the success of last year’s event.

“We had a very successful event last year, and we want to improve on it,” he said.

So if your playlist still has 90’s hits, your dance moves are ready, and your outfit is screaming retro, then Pleasant Gardens is where you need to be tomorrow night. The 90’s Jam is not just a party, it’s a full-blown throwback experience.

Tickets are going for a cool GH₵300. Simply dial *725*3404# to secure yours.

Asante Kotoko SC will come better in the second round says Coach Kwesi Appiah


Asante Kotoko SC Interim Management Member (IMC), Kwesi Appiah is very much optimistic his side will pick up better in the second half of the ongoing 2025/26 Ghana Premier league campaign.

The Premier league record holder’s (25) have had to deal with several injury concerns and inconsistency in performance, hence constant growing agitations from their fan base. Under Coach Abdul Karim Zito Kotoko have lost twice in 16 league games yet pressure keeps mounting on the team.

Currently with 8 wins and 6 draws sit 2nd on the log with 30 points.

With the aforementioned statistics, Kwesi Appiah knows Asante Kotoko will come better than they are in the Ghana Premier League.

“Am part of the IMC and we thank God they’re also picking up. It won’t be easy especially the second round of the league so am hoping that we try to pick up”Last season during the second round, some of the players had just come to the team and needed time and that is one of the key problems we always have”, he stated.

“And sometimes, we don’t have patients but I understand they’re now picking up slowly. I hope the second round they’re able to play and everyone who supports Kotoko back home gets happy”

The Reds are unbeaten in their last thread league matches and with face Swedru All Blacks in the last game to end first round on Sunday January 4, 2026.

A look at Ghana and the ICC’s new approach to environmental justice

A look at Ghana and the ICC’s new approach to environmental justice

A quiet but significant shift is taking place in international law, one that could redefine how countries such as Ghana protect their natural resources and hold polluters accountable.  

On December 1, 2025, the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) released a new Policy on Addressing Environmental Damage through the Rome Statute.   

For the first time, the ICC formally establishes that severe environmental destruction may amount to international crimes, including crimes against humanity and war crimes.  

This development represents a historic expansion of international criminal justice. The ICC, traditionally associated with prosecuting genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes and the crime of aggression, now recognises that environmental harm can reach the threshold of the gravest crimes of concern to the international community.   

The shift moves environmental destruction beyond regulatory fines and civil liability into the realm of individual criminal responsibility.  

For Ghana, a country endowed with gold, cocoa, timber and offshore oil resources, the implications are far-reaching. Natural resources remain central to national development, but they also place the country on the frontline of environmental risks and governance challenges.  

It is against this backdrop that Ghana’s leadership has already taken notable steps to strengthen national responses to environmental crimes. In October 2025, President John Dramani Mahama, working with the Acting Chief Justice at the time, Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie, announced plans to establish specialised financial courts to prosecute cases involving illegal mining, popularly known as galamsey, and other environment-related crimes.  

This initiative reflects a recognition that environmental degradation requires focused judicial attention. The proposal to decentralise specialised adjudication across the country acknowledges that environmental crimes often have local impacts but national consequences, and that justice must be visible and accessible to affected communities.  

The approach also aligns with a core principle of the ICC framework, known as complementarity, which emphasises that states should take the lead in investigating and prosecuting international crimes at the national level.  

 By strengthening domestic capacity, Ghana positions itself not merely as a rule-taker but as a regional example of how national legal systems can respond proactively to emerging international standards.  

In practical terms, the ICC policy reframes how environmental harm is understood within Ghana’s context. Illegal mining activities that contaminate major rivers such as the Ankobra, Pra and Birim with mercury and cyanide are no longer viewed solely as regulatory or environmental breaches. Where such acts are widespread, systematic and result in severe harm to communities, including illness or loss of access to clean water, they may fall within the scope of crimes against humanity under international law.  

Similarly, Ghana’s offshore oil and gas operations, while economically significant, carry environmental risks that now attract heightened legal scrutiny. Practices such as gas flaring, oil spills and marine ecosystem degradation could, under certain conditions, engage international criminal responsibility, particularly where civilian populations are adversely affected.  

Deforestation and land-related conflicts present another area of concern. Ghana has lost a significant proportion of its primary forest cover over the past two decades, often linked to illegal logging and mining concessions.   

Beyond the ecological damage, such activities may intersect with forced displacement, loss of livelihoods and social disruption, factors that elevate environmental harm into broader human rights and justice considerations.  

One of the most consequential aspects of the ICC policy is its message on corporate accountability. Corporate executives may be held personally responsible under international criminal law for environmental crimes committed through corporate operations.   

The policy signals that company structures can no longer serve as shields where business activities cause severe and widespread environmental harm.  

For companies operating in Ghana’s extractive sectors, this represents a decisive shift. Environmental and human rights due diligence moves from being a voluntary standard to a legal necessity.   

Ghana’s proposed specialised courts would reinforce this message locally, demonstrating that environmental compliance is a matter of legal responsibility rather than corporate discretion.  

The principle of complementarity further strengthens Ghana’s strategic position. The ICC intervenes only where states are unwilling or unable to prosecute serious crimes genuinely. By proposing specialised courts, Ghana demonstrates both willingness and capacity to address environmental crimes domestically, reinforcing national sovereignty while meeting international expectations.  

Concerns about sovereignty often arise when international institutions expand their reach. In Africa, debates around the ICC have historically been shaped by questions of fairness and external interference. Ghana’s response, however, reflects a different posture. By developing its own judicial mechanisms, the country asserts sovereignty through institution-building rather than resistance.  

Ghana’s voluntary decision to join the ICC in 1999 was rooted in a commitment to accountability for grave crimes. Extending that commitment to include protection against severe environmental harm is consistent with national values and long-term development goals.  

The proposed specialised courts offer a foundation for further action. They create space for reviewing domestic laws to ensure alignment with evolving international standards, particularly in areas of corporate liability and community rights.   

They also provide a framework for building judicial and prosecutorial expertise in complex environmental cases.  

Beyond national borders, Ghana’s approach has the potential to influence regional cooperation within ECOWAS, contributing to harmonised standards for addressing environmental crimes across West Africa.  

The ICC’s new policy arrives at a moment when Ghana is already charting a forward-looking path in environmental governance.   

The convergence of international legal developments and national judicial reform presents an opportunity for the country to position itself as a regional leader in environmental justice.  

Rather than responding to external pressure, Ghana is shaping its own solutions to environmental harm. In doing so, it affirms that protecting the environment is inseparable from protecting communities and safeguarding the future.

Prophet Nigel Gaisie reveals shocking visions for 2026

Founder and Leader of Prophetic Hill Chapel, Prophet Nigel Gaisie, has described 2026 as a generally good year, a departure from his often doom-laden prophecies, pointing instead to economic growth, business expansion and national progress.

In his end-of-year prophetic declarations, Prophet Gaisie revealed several visions and warnings, some of which he said he spiritually averted, while others were communicated directly to authorities due to their sensitive nature.

His prophecies include:

National security threats – He called for heightened protection for Sammy Gyamfi, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson and the Governor of the Bank of Ghana, warning that they are engaged in spiritual battles and face potential attacks.

Economic growth – 2026 will be positive for Ghana, with a strong economy, new companies rising and thriving, and favourable prospects for businesspeople.

Cedi forecast – He claimed to have seen the cedi drop to GH¢8 against the US dollar, alongside unprecedented national progress.

Support for President Mahama – God will support President John Dramani Mahama, using him to embark on new projects, including road construction and other development initiatives.

International concerns – He called for prayers for Italy, which he said is under spiritual stress, and warned of a possible attack on former US President Donald Trump, predicting mourning in America. He also urged prayers for President Joe Biden.

Côte d’Ivoire instability – He predicted possible military unrest and a coup attempt in Côte d’Ivoire, urging the country’s leadership and security apparatus to remain alert.

Local threats – The paramount seat in Techiman is under threat, and self-styled evangelist Nana Agradaa will be released.

Ghanaian security vigilance – He advised Ghana’s security services to remain on high alert throughout the year.

NPP primaries prediction – He foresaw a candidate initially leading and appearing victorious before facing tribulation, bleeding and lamentation, with Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia eventually overtaking to secure victory.

World Cup forecast – The World Cup to be hosted in the United States may be halted or postponed due to turbulence.

Black Stars performance – Ghana’s national team is predicted to reach the finals and perform exceptionally well.

Media and entertainment sector challenges – Trouble is expected at the Ghana Broadcasting Corporation and within the entertainment industry.

Religious revival – Churches will experience revival, and men of God will be restored in standing and influence.

Agradaa’s release – Nana Agradaa is expected to be pardoned from serving her 15-year jail term and released in 2026.

The prophet further revealed that some of the visions, particularly sensitive issues concerning Ghana, were acted upon, with authorities alerted as recently as December 30, 2025.

His declarations have sparked mixed reactions, with supporters welcoming the optimistic outlook for 2026, while others have urged caution, especially over the security-related predictions.

NDC working to block my Jan 31 flagbearer bid due to my 2016 campaign

Dr Mahamudu Bawumia is Ghana's former vice president and NPP flagbearer hopeful Dr Mahamudu Bawumia is Ghana’s former vice president and NPP flagbearer hopeful

‎NPP flagbearer hopeful Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has stated that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) remains aggrieved over his self-styled campaign in 2016, which he believes contributed to the New Patriotic Party’s victory.

‎

‎According to him, this resentment has led the NDC to dislike him and resort to insults whenever his name is mentioned.

‎

‎Speaking during a campaign event in the Okaikwei South constituency and shared on X, Dr Bawumia noted that although such attacks persist, he has chosen not to be distracted by them.

‎

‎“The 2016 campaign was a heated one, and that is why the NDC does not like me. Whenever they hear my name, they resort to insults, but I will not be bothered,” he said.

‎

‎
‎

‎The former vice president further alleged that the NDC is working tirelessly to ensure he does not win the NPP’s upcoming January 31 primary, preferring that delegates vote for another candidate instead.

‎

‎“Do you know that the NDC does not want you to vote for me in the primary, but instead for someone else? But why should a different party decide who becomes the candidate for your party? I do not believe the constituents of Okaikwei South will allow that,” Dr  Bawumia declared.

Philadelphia Church camp meeting causes massive gridlock on Accra-Kumasi Highway

Thousands of commuters found themselves trapped in a gruelling parking lot scenario on the Accra-Kumasi Highway early Thursday, January 1, 2026.

This followed the conclusion of a massive ‘Watch Night’ service by the Believers Worship Centre, also known as the Philadelphia Church or the Second Chance Church, led by Prophet Stephen Adom Kyei-Duah.

The gridlock, which centred around the Atwidie stretch of the N6 Highway, was triggered by the synchronised departure of thousands of worshippers from the major religious camp meeting hosted by the Philadelphia Church.


As the 24-hour New Year’s Eve vigil concluded, an overwhelming surge of private vehicles and chartered buses merged onto the main artery, overwhelming the road’s capacity.

Commuter Nightmare: A Three-Hour Standstill

For many travellers attempting to make the cross-country trip to Accra for New Year’s Day celebrations, the journey became an endurance test.

Reports indicate that the tailback extended for several kilometres, affecting key transit points including Juaso and Konongo.

Maame Adepa, a distressed traveller who spoke to reporters while stuck in the heat, described a frustrating start to the year.

“I have been stuck in this traffic for three hours since 4:00 a.m. this Thursday,” she lamented. “We thought leaving Kumasi at dawn would give us a clear path to Accra, but we have barely moved a few metres since reaching the Atwidie area. It is a complete standstill.”

She was not alone in her distress, as another traveller said he had been on the road since 10:00 p.m. the previous night, indicating that he had been stuck in the traffic for more than six hours.

The “Philadelphia” Surge: Logistics vs. Faith

The Philadelphia Church camp meeting, which reportedly drew participants from across the northern and middle belts of Ghana, is one of several large-scale religious events held annually during the “Crossover” season.

While the events bring spiritual renewal, the logistical fallout on the N6 Highway—Ghana’s most vital commercial corridor—has reignited calls for better traffic management during religious holidays.

Local residents in Atwidie noted that the lack of adequate parking within the camp grounds forced many buses to pick up passengers along the shoulders of the highway, further narrowing the available lanes for through-traffic.

A look at Ghana and the ICC’s new approach to environmental justice

Ghana News
-
0

A quiet but significant shift is taking place in international law, one that could redefine how countries such as Ghana protect their natural resources and hold polluters accountable.  

On December 1, 2025, the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) released a new Policy on Addressing Environmental Damage through the Rome Statute.   

For the first time, the ICC formally establishes that severe environmental destruction may amount to international crimes, including crimes against humanity and war crimes.  

This development represents a historic expansion of international criminal justice. The ICC, traditionally associated with prosecuting genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes and the crime of aggression, now recognises that environmental harm can reach the threshold of the gravest crimes of concern to the international community.   

The shift moves environmental destruction beyond regulatory fines and civil liability into the realm of individual criminal responsibility.  

For Ghana, a country endowed with gold, cocoa, timber and offshore oil resources, the implications are far-reaching. Natural resources remain central to national development, but they also place the country on the frontline of environmental risks and governance challenges.  

It is against this backdrop that Ghana’s leadership has already taken notable steps to strengthen national responses to environmental crimes. In October 2025, President John Dramani Mahama, working with the Acting Chief Justice at the time, Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie, announced plans to establish specialised financial courts to prosecute cases involving illegal mining, popularly known as galamsey, and other environment-related crimes.  

This initiative reflects a recognition that environmental degradation requires focused judicial attention. The proposal to decentralise specialised adjudication across the country acknowledges that environmental crimes often have local impacts but national consequences, and that justice must be visible and accessible to affected communities.  

The approach also aligns with a core principle of the ICC framework, known as complementarity, which emphasises that states should take the lead in investigating and prosecuting international crimes at the national level.  

 By strengthening domestic capacity, Ghana positions itself not merely as a rule-taker but as a regional example of how national legal systems can respond proactively to emerging international standards.  

In practical terms, the ICC policy reframes how environmental harm is understood within Ghana’s context. Illegal mining activities that contaminate major rivers such as the Ankobra, Pra and Birim with mercury and cyanide are no longer viewed solely as regulatory or environmental breaches. Where such acts are widespread, systematic and result in severe harm to communities, including illness or loss of access to clean water, they may fall within the scope of crimes against humanity under international law.  

Similarly, Ghana’s offshore oil and gas operations, while economically significant, carry environmental risks that now attract heightened legal scrutiny. Practices such as gas flaring, oil spills and marine ecosystem degradation could, under certain conditions, engage international criminal responsibility, particularly where civilian populations are adversely affected.  

Deforestation and land-related conflicts present another area of concern. Ghana has lost a significant proportion of its primary forest cover over the past two decades, often linked to illegal logging and mining concessions.   

Beyond the ecological damage, such activities may intersect with forced displacement, loss of livelihoods and social disruption, factors that elevate environmental harm into broader human rights and justice considerations.  

One of the most consequential aspects of the ICC policy is its message on corporate accountability. Corporate executives may be held personally responsible under international criminal law for environmental crimes committed through corporate operations.   

The policy signals that company structures can no longer serve as shields where business activities cause severe and widespread environmental harm.  

For companies operating in Ghana’s extractive sectors, this represents a decisive shift. Environmental and human rights due diligence moves from being a voluntary standard to a legal necessity.   

Ghana’s proposed specialised courts would reinforce this message locally, demonstrating that environmental compliance is a matter of legal responsibility rather than corporate discretion.  

The principle of complementarity further strengthens Ghana’s strategic position. The ICC intervenes only where states are unwilling or unable to prosecute serious crimes genuinely. By proposing specialised courts, Ghana demonstrates both willingness and capacity to address environmental crimes domestically, reinforcing national sovereignty while meeting international expectations.  

Concerns about sovereignty often arise when international institutions expand their reach. In Africa, debates around the ICC have historically been shaped by questions of fairness and external interference. Ghana’s response, however, reflects a different posture. By developing its own judicial mechanisms, the country asserts sovereignty through institution-building rather than resistance.  

Ghana’s voluntary decision to join the ICC in 1999 was rooted in a commitment to accountability for grave crimes. Extending that commitment to include protection against severe environmental harm is consistent with national values and long-term development goals.  

The proposed specialised courts offer a foundation for further action. They create space for reviewing domestic laws to ensure alignment with evolving international standards, particularly in areas of corporate liability and community rights.   

They also provide a framework for building judicial and prosecutorial expertise in complex environmental cases.  

Beyond national borders, Ghana’s approach has the potential to influence regional cooperation within ECOWAS, contributing to harmonised standards for addressing environmental crimes across West Africa.  

The ICC’s new policy arrives at a moment when Ghana is already charting a forward-looking path in environmental governance.   

The convergence of international legal developments and national judicial reform presents an opportunity for the country to position itself as a regional leader in environmental justice.  

Rather than responding to external pressure, Ghana is shaping its own solutions to environmental harm. In doing so, it affirms that protecting the environment is inseparable from protecting communities and safeguarding the future.

‘Momo’ miracles galore as thousands gather for Alpha Hour crossover

Elvis Agyemang is the Head Pastor of Grace Mountain Church Elvis Agyemang is the Head Pastor of Grace Mountain Church

The Accra Sports Stadium was transformed into a landscape of intense prayers and celebration as the Grace Mountain Church hosted its annual crossover convocation.

The event, organised by the popular non-denominational prayer movement Alpha Hour, saw the stadium filled to its maximum capacity, with “Alpharians” eager to usher in 2026.

Led by Pastor Elvis Agyemang, the night was marked by fervent spiritual activities, but the highlight for many was a series of unconventional “financial miracles.”

As the congregation sought spiritual breakthroughs and a change in fortunes for the new year, the atmosphere shifted from prayers to testimonies.

A significant number of attendees rushed to the altar to report receiving unexplained Mobile Money (Momo) deposits directly into their digital wallets during the service.

Congregants displayed their mobile phones as evidence, showing SMS alerts of cash inflows that they attributed to divine intervention.

These ‘Momo miracles’ became a focal point of the night, with many claiming the funds appeared instantly as they prayed for financial deliverance.

The sheer scale of the gathering underscored the massive influence of the Alpha Hour movement.

Thousands of believers from across the country — and beyond — began filling the stands hours before the event started, seeking a “positive change in circumstances” for the year ahead.

“I came here expecting a touch from God, but to see an alert on my phone while the pastor was praying is something I cannot explain,” one congregant shared during the testimony session.

While the financial testimonies drew significant cheers, the core of the night remained focused on the crossover transition.

Pastor Elvis Agyemang led the massive crowd through hours of rigorous intercession, focusing on themes of protection, favour, and spiritual growth for 2026.

As the clock struck midnight, the stadium erupted in a roar of praise, signaling the start of a new year for a movement that continues to blend traditional faith with the digital age.

I cheated on my husband with my ex whiles pregnant

File photo of a worried woman File photo of a worried woman

Dear GhanaWeb,

I’m a 30-year-old woman and I’ve been married for three years now. An ex of mine is in the country at the moment.

He texted me four days ago that he was around and wanted to meet me later that night. I told him we were far apart but he drove all the way to come and see me that night so I had to sneak to meet him because of my husband.

I have a two-year-old baby and I am currently four months pregnant. The man and I used to chat when he travelled abroad but we lost contact. He claimed he got my contact from a mate of mine when he got to Ghana a week ago.

He didn’t know I was married but I told him everything so he would stay away. He still said he wanted me, despite me being married and currently pregnant.

That evening we met, he seduced and slept with me in his car. I was ashamed and I had to sneak in to wash down so my husband wouldn’t suspect anything.

This man wants to put me into trouble because he wants us to continue our relationship. He said he loves me and would have married me if I was single. He wants to meet again; he is willing to risk everything for me.

My feelings for him have been revived. It’s not about money, I just want this man for real. My husband too noticed I’ve been off for some days now.

I think of him all the time but considering my condition, I don’t know how to manoeuvre this feeling. I love my husband too but I don’t yearn for him like I used to.

I can’t let my feelings destroy my marriage. I’m trying hard to forget about my ex but he keeps calling, texting and wanting to see me. I’m pregnant so I don’t want to be having sex on the baby.

It’s so hard to say I don’t want anything to do with this man. I need your help. What do I do now?

Bawumia urges unity, institutional strength as he outlines vision for Ghana in 2026

Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia has called on Ghanaians and members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to rally behind the principles of unity, strong institutions, and inclusive leadership as the nation begins 2026.

In his New Year message, Bawumia reflected on the state of Ghana one year into President John Dramani Mahama’s administration, congratulating the President on his first year in office and urging continued focus on peace, stability, and national cohesion.

He noted concerns over Ghana’s drop in the 2025 Global Peace Index, falling six places globally to 61st and from fourth to seventh in sub-Saharan Africa, citing rising security worries and unrest in certain areas.

The Vice President stressed that it has become important to preserve the independence of democratic institutions, highlighting the controversial removal of Ghana’s third female Chief Justice as an example of weakening institutional trust.

“When institutions are weakened, democracy is weakened. When institutions are politicized, trust is lost,” he said.

Addressing members of the NPP ahead of the party’s flagbearer selection for the 2028 elections, Bawumia emphasized unity, discipline, and service-oriented leadership. He encouraged members to focus on ideas and vision rather than personal attacks, stressing that internal divisions only provide ammunition to political opponents.

He pledged to rebuild the party and ensure it regains the trust of Ghanaians, stating that parliamentarians from the NPP minority will continue to hold the government accountable, fight for ordinary Ghanaians, and champion opportunities for youth, education, and healthcare.

Looking ahead, Bawumia painted a vision of a Ghana that works for everyone, where ethnic and religious differences are set aside, and institutions are restored to safeguard democracy.

He reiterated his readiness to lead the NPP into the next election and, with the support of Ghanaians, serve as the nation’s next president.

The Vice President concluded by wishing Ghanaians a prosperous 2026, calling for renewed hope, strengthened efforts, and faith in Ghana’s shared destiny.

The Ghana Police Service has arrested a suspect, Salim Mohammed, also known as Fariwata, in connection with the daylight robbery attack on a jewellery shop at Adabraka where an amount of GH₵7.5 million proceeds from a gold transaction was stolen while being conveyed to the bank.

In a press conference held at the Police Headquarters, Accra today, Director General of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) COP Lydia Yaako Donkor said the arrest was made on November 20, 2025 at a hospital in Ashaiman, following months of intelligence operations.

She revealed that preliminary investigations revealed that the suspect and his accomplices, armed with AK47 assault rifles, intercepted the victim’s vehicle, fired multiple shots to disperse onlookers, and injured the driver before fleeing with the cash.

COP Lydia Yaako Donkor said efforts are underway to arrest the remaining accomplices and recover the stolen money.

Free Ato Forson to focus on fiscal discipline

Policy think tank IMANI-Africa has called on President John Dramani Mahama to relieve Finance Minister, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson of his additional role as acting Defence Minister, warning that the dual responsibility could undermine fiscal discipline at a critical moment for the economy.

The call was made by IMANI-Africa President, Franklin Cudjoe, in a Facebook post assessing the early performance of the Mahama administration and outlining priorities ahead of the rollout of major government projects in 2026.

According to Mr Cudjoe, while President Mahama has “started off very well”, the scale and complexity of the government’s planned “Big Push” projects demand undivided attention from the Finance Minister to safeguard public finances.

“Please free Finance Minister, Ato Forson from the additional duty as Defence Minister so he can focus and continue being fiscally disciplined,” he wrote.

He argued that Dr Forson must be allowed to concentrate fully on managing the economy, maintaining fiscal discipline and overseeing budget execution, especially as significant capital expenditure is expected in the coming year.

Cudjoe warned that overstretching key officials increases the risk of inefficiencies, procurement challenges and weak oversight, particularly in large-scale infrastructure projects.

He also proposed strengthening the Cabinet Office and appointing an Administrator-General or Assessor-General from the civil service to independently monitor and conduct risk analysis on all major government projects.

IMANI’s Boss said proactive oversight would help prevent corruption, cost overruns and delays, stressing that Ghana cannot afford another cycle of waste and post-tenure accountability exercises.

Anthony Joshua released from hospital in Nigeria after fatal car crash – The Irish Times

Boxer Anthony Joshua has been released from hospital in Nigeria after the crash in which two of his friends died, authorities have said.

Sina Ghami and Latif ‘Latz’ Ayodele died after the vehicle they were travelling in along with Joshua struck a stationary truck on a major road near Lagos on Monday.

British heavyweight Joshua sustained injuries, but was released on Wednesday, Lagos state commissioner for information Gbenga Omotoso said.

In a joint statement with Ogun state, which he posted on X, Mr Omotoso said Joshua was “deemed clinical fit to recuperate from home”.

The statement said: “Anthony and his mother were at the funeral home in Lagos this afternoon to pay their final respects to his two departed friends as they were being prepared for repatriation scheduled for later this evening.”

In addition to being long-term friends of Joshua, Ghami acted as his strength and conditioning coach, while Ayodele was a trainer.

Joshua, who was born in Watford to Nigerian parents, was on holiday in Nigeria following his win over YouTuber Jake Paul in Miami on December 19th.

Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn – who has promoted 36-year-old Joshua since he turned professional, after he won gold at the London 2012 Olympics – posted on Instagram: “Rest in peace Latz and Sina. Your energy and loyalty among so many other great qualities will be deeply missed.

“Praying for strength and guidance for all their family, friends and of course AJ during this very difficult time.”

Retired cruiserweight world champion Tony Bellew, two-time undisputed heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk, British former heavyweight champion Tyson Fury and former world champion Wladimir Klitschko have also offered condolences. – PA

Ghana at a ‘critical crossroads’, must mentor youth in integrity – Duffuor

Former Finance Minister, Dr. Kwabena Duffuor, has issued a public New Year message for 2026, extending “sincere goodwill and renewed hope to every Ghanaian, at home and abroad.”

In the statement, Dr. Duffuor described the new year as “a national moment of reckoning” that calls for reflection on Ghana’s collective journey. He asserted that the nation “stands at a critical crossroads” and stated that “truth with danger saves generations.”

The message identified specific challenges, including “the erosion of discipline, the weakening of moral restraint and the dominance of self-centeredness over selflessness” in public life. It cited “indiscipline on our roads, disregard for our environment and the persistent abuse of public trust” as developments that “threaten not only our institutions but the very values that once defined us as a people.”

Dr. Duffuor called for “citizens and leaders who are truthful, dependable, public-spirited and guided by a higher sense of duty.” He emphasized the need to “mentor the young ones to be deep rooted in integrity before acquisition of skills,” stating that “skills without integrity are insufficient” and “integrity without skills is incomplete.”

The message further advocated for an intentional investment “in religious values across our society” to raise a generation that “values truth, keeps its word, respects life and places the public good above private gain.”

While acknowledging a “sobering reality,” the statement noted that “Ghana’s story has never been one of despair,” but rather one of “resilience, conscience and renewal.” It concluded that “national transformation will not begin in policy alone. It must begin with character.”

The message defined renewal as “the duty of every parent, teacher, professional, faith leader and public servant,” and described the year 2026 as “a defining moment.”

The communication ended with the wish that the new year “renew our conscience, strengthen our unity and awaken in us a shared commitment to the Ghana we owe ourselves and generations yet unborn.”

The ‘missed’ prophecies of 2025

The year 2025, in less than 24 hours, will come to an end, and as has become a custom, Christians across Ghana would gather at various worship centres for the 31st Night Crossover Services.

At these services, which start on the night of December 31 and end on January 1, pastors issue prophecies into the lives of their congregants as well as some prominent Ghanaians. They also foretell some major events — mostly tragedies — which are supposed to happen in the country.

Before the prophets in the country issue their prophecies for the ensuing year, 2026, let us take a look at some of the prophecies made by some renowned prophets for the year 2025, which didn’t come to pass, possibly because of prayers to avert them, as urged by the men of God.

Rev Owusu Bempeh:

The Founder and Leader of the Glorious Word Power Ministries International, Rev Isaac Owusu-Bempah, made numerous prophecies about events to expect in 2025, which did not happen, including the following:

Mass Blindness

“If we don’t pray this year, many people will experience eye diseases. A lot of people will go blind. I see numerous spectacles shedding tears. We curse that spirit of blindness,” he prayed.

Coronavirus-like disease

The man of God warned about the spread of a deadly disease resembling the coronavirus, which could emerge this year if prayers are not offered to avert it. According to him, he saw numerous people worldwide being affected by this disease.

“Just like the coronavirus we experienced a few years back, if we don’t pray, we will face another deadly disease of similar nature. I see a spirit hanging in the air, spewing the disease from its mouth, spreading it, and causing mass deaths. We must pray to avert this,” he added.

Child deaths

Rev. Owusu-Bempah also prophesied about a disease that could claim the lives of many children in Ghana this year if preventive prayers are not made.

Nigel Gaisie:

The founder and leader of Prophetic Hill Chapel, Nigel Gaisie, also released a series of prophecies set to unfold in 2025, which have so far not happened.

Here are some of them:

Terrible weather conditions in Europe

Gaisie prophesied severe weather disruptions, foreseeing devastating climate conditions in Europe.

A vice president from a West African country will pass away

Gaisie predicted the death of a vice president from a West African country.

Attacks on two traditional leaders, including a beheading

He warned of severe attacks on two traditional leaders, including the potential destoolment and even a beheading.

A significant loss involving a prominent female figure from the Central Region

Gaisie foresaw a significant loss involving a prominent female figure from Ghana’s Central Region, comparing the situation to the tragic death of former Vice President Paa Kwesi Amissah-Arthur, and predicted a state burial.

Prayers needed for American media personality Oprah Winfrey

He called for prayers for American media mogul Oprah Winfrey, suggesting that she may face health challenges.


Pastor Agyemang Elvis:

The leader and founder of Grace Mountain Chapel International, Pastor Agyemang Elvis, the host of the midnight prayer section, Alpha House, also stated that there was going to be a pandemic greater than the COVID-19 pandemic.

“I am not a prophet, but I saw that something terrible is going to happen. There is going to be another serious pandemic in the world. This one is going to be more serious than we ever thought. It is going to have something to do with the skin. No one can touch the infected person because the disease can easily be transmitted through body contact. However, those who will seek the face of the Lord and delight in His words will be saved. Some years ago, I spoke about how they were creating a disease in a lab, but nobody paid attention to me until the coronavirus came into the system,” Pastor Elvis Agyemang stated.

Foreign Affairs Minister completes rollout of Passport Application Centres in all regional capitals

The Minister for Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has commissioned a Passport Application Centre in Damongo, effectively completing government’s pledge to establish passport offices in all 16 regional capitals.

The commissioning ceremony, held on Wednesday, December 31, 2025, marks a significant milestone in the government’s decentralisation agenda, aimed at expanding access to essential public services and easing the burden on citizens who previously had to travel long distances to apply for passports.

Addressing stakeholders at the event, Mr. Ablakwa revealed that when he assumed office, only nine regions had passport application centres.

He said the Ministry deliberately worked towards ensuring that all regional capitals had fully operational centres before the end of 2025.

“In pursuit of this vision, application centres were successfully opened in Bolgatanga, Dambai, Techiman, Damongo, Goaso, Nalerigu and Sefwi-Wiawso within the year,” the Minister noted.

He also outlined ongoing reforms within the passport administration system, stressing government’s commitment to protecting the integrity of Ghana’s passport.

According to him, strict verification processes will be enforced to ensure that only eligible Ghanaian citizens are issued the travel document.

The Paramount Chief of the Gonja Traditional Area, Yagbonwura Bii-Kunuto Jewu Soale I, commended the government for bringing the service closer to the people, describing the initiative as timely and impactful.

Savannah Regional Minister, Isifu Salisu Bi-Awurobe, pledged his administration’s support to ensure the smooth operation of the Damongo centre.

He further announced plans to allocate a two-acre parcel of land for the construction of a permanent passport office in the region.

Representing the Savannah Parliamentary Caucus, the Member of Parliament for Salaga South, Zuwera Mohammed Ibrahimah, expressed optimism that the facility would significantly reduce the challenges residents previously faced in accessing passport services outside the region.

The event drew service commanders, traditional and religious leaders, as well as residents from across the Savannah Region.

Earlier in the day, the Foreign Affairs Minister paid a courtesy call on the Yagbonwura at the Jakpa Palace, where he briefed the Overlord on the government’s passport reforms and decentralisation efforts.

Nigeria drops criminal charges against Sam Jonah

Nigeria’s Attorney General of the Federation has ordered the discontinuation of criminal proceedings against Ghanaian business mogul Sir Sam Jonah and three other individuals, after determining that investigations failed to establish a prima facie case.

The directive follows a petition submitted by Sir Sam Jonah to Ghana’s Minister for Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, on December 13, 2025.

In the petition, the statesman appealed for diplomatic intervention over what he described as the unlawful takeover of his investments at the River Park Estate in Abuja, allegedly carried out by Nigeria’s Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC).

The decision to terminate the case was conveyed through official correspondence from the Office of the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF), signed by the Director of Public Prosecutions, M.B. Abubakar, after a detailed review of police investigation files.

According to the AGF, allegations of forgery, fraud and related offences brought against Mr Samuel Esson Jonah, Kojo Ansah Mensah, Victor Quainoo and Abu Arome could not be substantiated.

Investigations by the Nigeria Police Force, the AGF noted, fell short of the evidentiary threshold required to sustain criminal charges.

“No prima facie case of forgery and other related offences… has been established against the aforementioned individuals,” the Attorney General stated in reference to Charge No. CR/402/25.

The AGF also endorsed the findings of a Special Investigation Panel report dated March 28, 2025, which examined petitions involving Jonah Capital Nigeria Limited, Houses for Africa Nigeria Limited and the River Park Estate in Lugbe. The report was described as “valid, comprehensive and unbiased.”

Conversely, the Attorney General criticised conclusions reached by the IGP Monitoring Unit, describing them as “highly misleading” and faulting attempts to criminalise what he said was essentially a commercial dispute, contrary to Nigeria’s Administration of Criminal Justice Act, 2015.

Concerns were also raised about a police press briefing held on June 27, 2025, where certain individuals were publicly presented as owners and managers of the River Park Estate without any judicial determination.

The AGF said such actions were inappropriate and exceeded the lawful mandate of the police.

As part of the directive, the Attorney General ordered the Corporate Affairs Commission to reverse any administrative measures taken against the affected companies based on the disputed police report, and cautioned the Commission against actions that could interfere with ongoing court proceedings.

Beyond ending the case against the four individuals, the AGF called for fresh investigations into alleged incidents of intimidation, assault and property destruction at the River Park Estate, reportedly involving persons acting on the instructions of one Paul Odili.

The Nigeria Police Force was further directed to ensure the safety of residents and guarantee their peaceful enjoyment of property at the estate.

Ghana’s reset must begin with character, not policy

Ghana’s reset must begin with character, not policy

Former Finance Minister and ex-Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Dr Kwabena Duffuor, has issued a sweeping call for national moral renewal, warning that Ghana’s future depends as much on character as it does on policy and economic reforms.

In a New Year message to Ghanaians at home and abroad, Dr Duffuor said the nation stands “at a critical crossroads” and must confront what he described as a deepening erosion of discipline, integrity and public-spiritedness.

“A new year is more than a change in calendar. It is a national moment of reckoning,” he said, urging citizens to reflect honestly on the country’s direction and the values shaping public life.

Dr Duffuor cautioned that indiscipline on the roads, environmental neglect and the abuse of public trust were steadily undermining Ghana’s institutions and moral foundations.

“Our nation stands at a critical crossroads. We must address uncomfortable truths because ‘truth with danger saves generation’,” he stated, adding that “the erosion of discipline, the weakening of moral restraint and the dominance of self-centeredness over selflessness increasingly define our public life.”

Calling for a deliberate reset, the former central bank governor stressed the need for leadership rooted in both competence and ethics, particularly among the younger generation.

“We must mentor the young ones to be deep rooted in integrity before acquisition of skills. Skills without integrity are insufficient. Integrity without skills is incomplete,” he said. “Our nation needs both because, integrity and skills are the two pillars of leadership.”

Dr Duffuor also advocated stronger investment in religious and moral values across society, arguing that national transformation cannot be achieved through policy alone.

“National transformation will not begin in policy alone. It must begin with character,” he said, while calling for a generation that “values truth, keeps its word, respects life and places the public good above private gain.”

Despite his sober assessment, Dr Duffuor struck an optimistic tone, reminding Ghanaians of the country’s history of resilience and sacrifice.

“Ghana’s story has never been one of despair. It has always been one of resilience, conscience and renewal,” he noted, urging citizens to draw inspiration from the selflessness of the nation’s forebears.

He emphasised that moral renewal is a shared responsibility, not one confined to government.

“Renewal is not the responsibility of government alone. It is the duty of every parent, teacher, professional, faith leader and public servant,” Dr Duffuor said, adding that when integrity becomes the standard, “corruption loses its grip.”

Framing 2026 as a decisive year, he challenged Ghanaians to act collectively to restore the country’s values and secure a stronger future.

“The New Year, 2026 is therefore a defining moment for us all,” he said. “Let history record that when Ghana faced moral decline, we the people rose with courage and conviction.”

Dr Duffuor ended his message with a call for unity and renewed national purpose: “May the year renew our conscience, strengthen our unity and awaken in us a shared commitment to the Ghana we owe ourselves and generations yet unborn.”

“Happy New Year, and May Ghana rise to be the Great Nation we all want.”

Deputy Foreign Affairs Minister commissions Passport Application Centre in Goaso

The Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs and Member of Parliament, James Gyakye Quayson, has commissioned a new Passport Application Centre in Goaso, in the Ahafo Region, marking a significant step in government’s drive to decentralise public services.

The facility was officially opened on Wednesday, December 31, 2025, and is expected to ease the burden on applicants who previously had to travel long distances to access passport services.

Speaking at the commissioning ceremony, Mr Gyakye Quayson said the Goaso centre would help reduce travel costs, delays, and the frustrations associated with passport acquisition, while also curbing the activities of middlemen who exploit applicants.

He reaffirmed government’s commitment to bringing essential services closer to the people and urged staff of the centre to discharge their duties with professionalism, integrity, and efficiency.

To demonstrate the centre’s readiness, the Deputy Minister personally presented a passport to an applicant who had completed the application process at the Goaso facility.

The Ahafo Regional Minister, Charity Gardiner, described the commissioning as a fulfilment of President Mahama’s vision of improving access to public services nationwide.

She noted that the new centre would not only improve efficiency but also decongest other passport application centres across the country.

She further called on stakeholders and residents to support and protect the facility to ensure its sustainability and effective operation.

Representing the parliamentary caucus of the Ahafo Region, the Member of Parliament for Asutifi South, Collins Dauda, expressed appreciation to the government for its continued investment in development projects aimed at improving the welfare of residents in the region.

The ceremony was attended by several traditional authorities from across the Ahafo Region, including the Goaso Manhemaa, Nana Afia Serwaa, alongside chiefs and representatives from Hwidiem, Mehame, Ayomso, Dadiesoaba, Techire, Yamfo, Acherensua, Akodie, and Kenyasi, underscoring broad community support for the initiative.

Ghana Premier League: Medeama hold GoldStars to reclaim top spot

Medeama SC stretched their lead on top of the table by a point following a goalless draw at GoldStars in the delayed week 14 fixture of the Ghana Premier League on Wednesday.

The Mauve and Yellow were level on 30 points with Asante Kotoko prior to their trip to the Duns Park and settling for a stalemate brought them to 31 points with a game to close the first half of the season.

The two-time FA Cup winners walked into the game with a confident boosting 1-0 victory at Heart of Lions in week 16 and the result chalked at GoldStars increased their unbeaten streak to 13 in 16 matches.

Medeama have gone 13 games without a defeat

Medeama have clocked wins against tougher opponents like former champions Berekum Chelsea, 2023 CAF Confederation semifinalists Dreams FC and Nations FC with nerve-wracking draws against former champions Asante Kotoko and Aduana FC.

Their 31 points haul sees them one step above Asante Kotoko, two away from reigning champions GoldStars and Aduana and three adrift of Hearts of Oak.

Medeama coach Ibrahim Ibrahim Tanko will look to retain the top spot when he leads his charges against Hearts of Oak at the Tarkwa TnA Park in the final game of the first half of the season on Sunday, January 4.

Philadelphia Overrun by Motor Miracle as Adom Kyei Duah Devotees Turn Bompata Into Mega Parking Lot

Philadelphia Overrun by Motor Miracle as Adom Kyei Duah Devotees Turn Bompata Into Mega Parking Lot

Philadelphia City in Adansi Bompata has transformed into a maze of metal and pilgrims as thousands of private vehicles and commercial buses flood the area ahead of the much-anticipated annual pilgrimage and crossover service with Prophet Stephen Adom Kyei Duah. What is typically a quiet township has become the epicentre of spiritual tourism, drawing worshippers from every corner of the country and beyond all determined to usher in the new year under the prophet’s ministry.

By midday, the main access roads resembled a locked-down highway. Buses carrying congregants in their thousands crawled bumper-to-bumper toward the church grounds, while car owners scrambled for any available space to park, from roadside shoulders to school fields and even private lawns. Traffic direction has quietly shifted into the hands of church volunteers, who are working with local authorities to keep the situation under control.

The economic ripple is already visible. Food vendors have set up improvised kitchens along the streets, serving everything from local meals to quick snacks for tired travellers who have spent hours in the congestion. Fuel stations are recording booming sales, while petty traders are cashing in on the massive crowd with items ranging from water and headscarves to folding chairs for the night-long service.

Despite the overwhelming pressure on infrastructure, the atmosphere remains expectant rather than chaotic. Pilgrims chant prayers as they march from their parked buses; others wave banners and flags bearing the prophet’s image. The crossover service, which has gained national attention in recent years, promises prophetic declarations, deliverance moments, and messages of renewal as worshippers prepare to step into 2026.

Security presence has increased to ensure crowd safety as dusk approaches, with plans in place to manage the exit rush after midnight. For many believers, the journey itself is a sacrifice and a statement faith in motion, wheels turning toward spiritual rebirth.

Tonight, as the township swells far beyond its usual population, Philadelphia City will serve not only as a place of worship but as a testament to the influence Prophet Stephen Adom Kyei Duah commands. And when the final prayer is said and engines roar back to life, the story of this holy gridlock will linger long after the new year’s first dawn.

Police nab suspect over foiled gold robbery plot at Manso Abrense

The Ashanti South Regional Police Command has arrested a suspect over an alleged conspiracy to rob a gold miner at Manso Abrense, near Manso Nsiana in the Ashanti Region.

In a statement issued by the police, the suspect, identified as Stephen Kwakye, was picked up on December 30, 2025, following intelligence reports that he and other accomplices were planning an attack on a miner who routinely transports gold to Kumasi for sale.

Police investigations indicate that Kwakye played a central role in organising the planned robbery.

He is alleged to have closely monitored the movements of the victim and coordinated with other accomplices to ambush him while he was in transit.

Acting on the intelligence, police officers placed the suspect under surveillance and allowed the plan to unfold.

He was arrested when he reportedly showed up to collect his share of the proceeds after being informed that the robbery had been “successful”.

During interrogation, the suspect is said to have admitted his involvement in organising the robbery.

Stephen Kwakye is currently in police custody assisting with investigations, while police efforts continue to track down and arrest his accomplices to face the full rigours of the law

Bloody NPP Primaries, Coup against Mahama, Deaths and More: 2026 prophecies by Owusu-Bempah

Bloody NPP Primaries, Coup against Mahama, Deaths and More: 2026 prophecies by Owusu-Bempah

The Founder and Leader of the Glorious Word Power Ministries International, Rev Isaac Owusu-Bempah, has made numerous prophecies about events to expect in 2026, claiming to have seen them through spiritual revelations.

Before issuing the prophecies, he defended his ministry, saying that God reveals future happenings to give mankind the opportunity to pray against them if they are bad things.

The controversial man of God prophesied about various issues, including child deaths, the spread of a disease worse than the coronavirus, the deaths of prominent Ghanaians, the passing of a great Ghanaian spiritual leader, and aeroplane crashes, among others.

1. Bloody NPP primaries

Owusu-Bempah said that the upcoming presidential primaries of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) are likely to become bloody if care is not taken.

He, therefore, urged members of the party and the general public to pray against it.

“NPP, please listen to this. Don’t despise what I’m saying to you… I saw an image which had human characteristics—it was like a human being. And this personality was standing in the midst of the contestants who are contesting in the flagbearership race.

“I saw that the personality, the image standing in the midst of the contestants, was bleeding, and I was asking God, what is the significance of this? And God said to me that the party’s election, if care is not taken and they are not careful enough, will become chaotic and there will be bloodshed, and some people will lose their lives in the process, and it will lead to division in the party,” he said.

He added, “Don’t despise what I’m saying. This is not politics; I’m not doing politics here. This is about the lives of people.”

2. Coup attempt against President Mahama

He also said that there is going to be a coup attempt against President John Dramani Mahama by certain foreign elements, but the coup will not be successful.

He urged the public to pray against a coup attempt by foreigners, which he said is meant to disrupt the good works of the current president, John Dramani Mahama.

“Certain people have planned, and some of the people who are planning, or have planned, are foreigners who will come into Ghana. What I am saying is something I saw—that they entered this nation when we were not conscious of ourselves as a nation. All of a sudden, we heard there was a coup d’état,” he said.

He added, “Those who are planning that evil and want to stage a coup in this country, this is a warning to you because you will not succeed. And so we will pray about it, but the security agencies we have in this nation must be vigilant.”

He urged the supposed coup plotters to desist from going ahead with their plan because they will be arrested.

3. The death of former Presidents of Ghana

He also prophesied that some persons who have led Ghana before are going to die in 2026, warning that if former leaders do not heed the prophetic warnings, the prophecies will come to pass.

LIVESTREAMED: 2025 31st Night Prophecies with Prophet Nigel Gaisie

He, therefore, called for prayers for former leaders who have previously ruled Ghana to prevent calamities, emphasising the importance of collective prayer and intercession for the nation’s leaders.

4. The death of a famous former Ghanaian boxer

He also said that the country is likely to witness the death of a former Ghanaian boxer, adding that this death is not the will of God and can be averted by prayers.

Below are more of Owusu-Bempah’s prophecies, which he urged the nation to pray against if they are bad, or pray to protect if they are good:

The death of an internationally acclaimed boxer who has made a mark on the world

The death of a great man of God and a faith-based leader

A fight on the floor of the Parliament of Ghana, which the army or the police will be deployed to handle

The death of a presidential aspirant for the 2028 election

Unprecedented prosperity for Ghana as a country, with more opportunities for people to make a living

The deaths of prominent chiefs and a very famous journalist

An unprecedented number of road accidents in Ghana

The deaths of very important personalities in Nigeria and the United States of America

Owusu‑Bempah’s ‘Mass Blindness’ and Nigel’s Beheading Didn’t Happen

Owusu‑Bempah’s ‘Mass Blindness’ and Nigel’s Beheading Didn’t Happen

According to a report by Ghanaweb on Wednesday, December 31, as 2025 comes to an end, Ghanaians are reflecting on a year filled with bold religious predictions that did not happen as claimed. Popular prophets, including Reverend Isaac Owusu‑Bempah and Prophet Nigel Gaisie, made several high‑profile prophecies for the year, but many of these forecasts failed to materialize. 

Reverend Isaac Owusu‑Bempah, leader of the Glorious Word Power Ministries International, made a number of dramatic statements early in the year. Among these was a warning of “mass blindness” that would affect many people in Ghana. However, as the year closes, this prediction did not occur in the literal sense, sparking discussions among Christians and critics alike. 

Similarly, Prophet Nigel Gaisie, founder of the Prophetic Hill Chapel Worldwide, made several forecasts that drew wide attention. One of his most controversial predictions was that a chief would be beheaded and various leaders would face violent attacks. These dramatic events, which captured public imagination, did not take place in 2025. 

Both prophets also made anticipations tied to political and national developments. In the past, Nigel Gaisie prophesied about significant political outcomes, including coups or instability, but these too remained unfulfilled for the year. Meanwhile, Owusu‑Bempah’s election‑related prophecies for 2025 also failed to reflect actual outcomes. 

The trend of high‑profile yet unfulfilled prophecies has stirred public debate in Ghana. Many citizens are questioning the credibility of prophetic declarations after 2025 ended without the predicted events. Some religious leaders and commentators have pointed to the risks of tying prophecy too closely to specific worldly events like violence or political upheaval, urging caution in how spiritual forecasts are communicated.  

Ghana declares war on illegal streaming of pay-TV content

Ghana declares war on illegal streaming of pay-TV content

The National Communications Authority (NCA), in a multi-agency collaboration, has announced a fresh offensive against internet streaming piracy of pay-TV content, citing severe financial losses to the state and creative sector, alongside heightened cybersecurity threats to consumers.

In a press release issued on December 31, 2025, the regulator stated that a stakeholder committee, led by the Minister for Communications, Digital Technology and Innovations (MoCDTI), is now actively working with the Cybersecurity Authority and Multichoice Ghana to clamp down on illegal streaming platforms.

The authority detailed the triple-threat posed by piracy, stating firmly, “The Committee, comprising representatives from the MoCDTI, NCA and Multichoice, is collaborating with other agencies including the Cybersecurity Authority to curb internet streaming piracy of pay TV content which causes loss of tax revenue, loss of revenue to the creative industry and increases consumer security risks to malware and phishing schemes.”

This coordinated move signals a shift towards treating content piracy not merely as a copyright issue, but as a national security and economic concern. The involvement of the Cybersecurity Authority highlights the government’s focus on the dangers posed to consumers, who risk exposure to data theft and malicious software through illicit streaming sites and services.

The announcement also provided an update on the revised DSTV subscription packages, which came into effect on 1st October, 2025. The NCA confirmed that these enhanced value offerings “were duly implemented as announced and REMAIN IN FORCE.” The regulator reported a positive public response to the changes, noting “a significant increase in subscriptions” following their implementation.

The stakeholder committee, established to evaluate DSTV pricing, continues its work under the minister’s chairmanship. 

The NCA affirmed that the “Working Group will continue its engagements to ensure our mutual commitments to the objectives are attained,” indicating ongoing oversight of both the market’s pricing structure and the anti-piracy initiative.

This crackdown aims to protect legitimate content providers, ensure compliance with broadcasting regulations, and steer consumers towards secure, legal avenues for accessing pay-TV content, thereby safeguarding both the creative economy and individual users.

Gold boosts Cedi to shatter 30-year losing streak

In a historic reversal of a 30-year trend, the Ghana cedi has concluded the 2025 fiscal year with a performance that has stunned global economists and local traders alike.

Breaking a cycle of annual decline that had persisted since the early 1990s, the local currency capitalised on a surge in bullion prices and a retreating U.S. dollar to reclaim its seat as a heavyweight in the foreign exchange market.

According to year-end market data, the cedi posted a remarkable 41% appreciation against the greenback over the past twelve months, according to Bloomberg.

This surge represents the currency’s first annual gain since at least 1994—the year Bloomberg first began compiling comprehensive exchange data for the country—marking a definitive end to three decades of consistent depreciation.

Defying Thirty Years of Gravity

Since the mid-90s, the cedi has been synonymous with vulnerability, often ranking among Africa’s most volatile currencies.

However, 2025 became the year the pacesetter spirit of the nation translated into fiscal resilience.

The cedi’s rally was not merely a local victory but a global phenomenon.

In a year defined by volatile emerging market trends, the cedi emerged as the best performer among 144 currencies tracked by Bloomberg, surpassed only by the Russian ruble.

The ‘Golden’ Catalysts of 2025

Analysts attribute this unprecedented gain to a perfect storm of favourable conditions:

  • The Gold Boom: As Africa’s largest producer of the precious metal, Ghana benefited immensely from historic highs in global gold prices, which touched record peaks throughout the year.
  • Dollar Vulnerability: The Bloomberg Dollar Index is currently headed for its worst decline since 2017, as shifts in global trade and U.S. monetary policy cooled the greenback’s long-standing dominance.
  • Domestic Resilience: Strategic interventions by the Bank of Ghana, including the “Gold for Oil” and “Gold for Reserves” programmes, helped stabilise foreign exchange supply at critical intervals.

Impact on the “Ground”: A Mixed Paradox

While the macroeconomic data paints a picture of triumph, the impact on everyday Ghanaians remains a topic of intense debate.

The 41% climb has begun to stabilise the prices of imported essentials like fuel and electronics, but many households are still navigating the price stickiness of retail goods.

MetricHistorical Trend (1994–2024)2025 PerformanceEconomic Impact
Annual MovementConsistent Depreciation+41% AppreciationReduced Debt Service Costs
Global RankingFrequently Bottom-Tier2nd GloballyBoosted Investor Confidence
Inflation LinkMajor Driver of InflationStabilizing ForceEasing Import Costs

Sustainability: A New Chapter or a “Nine-Day Wonder”?

The Finance Ministry has been quick to assure stakeholders that this appreciation is “not a nine-day wonder” but the result of deliberate policy.

With the next major debt restructuring payments due in mid-2026, the current strength of the cedi provides a crucial buffer for the nation’s treasury.

As the first sun of 2026 rises, the narrative of the cedi has officially changed. For the first time in an entire generation, the local currency hasn’t just survived the year; it has conquered it.

2026 prophecies by Nigel Gaisie

The Founder and Leader of Prophetic Hill Chapel, Prophet Nigel Gaisie, has released a series of prophecies set to unfold in the year 2026.

Speaking to his congregants during his church’s December 31, 2025, Watch Night service, the prophet shared that these prophecies were revealed to him by God and have global implications.

He urged prayers to avert some of the more unfortunate and negative events.

Despite some of the prophecies indicating doom, he assured Ghanaians that 2026 would be a good and prosperous year, yielding great results, unlike previous years.

Spanning across politics, security, and traditional institutions, here are the 2026 prophecies highlighted by Nigel Gaisie:

1. 2026 will be a year of unprecedented prosperity and economic transformation

Prophet Nigel Gaisie said that 2026 will be one of the best years of prosperity the country has ever seen.

According to him, the country will see unprecedented progress under the National Democratic Congress government of President John Dramani Mahama, with the country’s currency appreciating further to GH¢8.

He urged the president to strengthen the security of Sammy Gyamfi, the Chief Executive Officer of the GoldBod; the Minister of Finance, Dr Cassiel Atto Forson; and the Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Dr Johnson Asiama, whom he hinted will champion Ghana’s economic transformation.

Economic stress on Italy

Gaisie also prophesied that there would be some economic turmoil in the European nation, Italy.

“I saw in a realm of the spirit, the Lord took my spirit to Italy, and I saw a little bit of stress in Italy. So let’s pray for Italy. Let’s pray for Italy. Italy will go through a little bit of stress, but we’ll keep praying for Italy,” he said.

3. Attack on Donald Trump, America crying after September, and the fate of Joe Biden

The third prophecy of Nigel was on United States President Donald Trump and former President Joe Biden.

He said that President Trump would be attacked again, adding that country.

“I still see an attack on the President of the United States of America. Let’s pray for Donald Trump against every attack on his person.

“Again, I saw America crying. I saw America crying prophetically after September. Let’s pray for Joe Biden,” he said.

4. Coup d’état in Ivory Coast

He also said that there is likely to be a military takeover in Ivory Coast in 2026.

“Let’s pray for the Ivory Coast and let the security apparatus and the president of Ivory Coast be on serious alert. I saw military instability in Ivory Coast.

“I saw a coup d’état prophetically, spiritually, in Ivory Coast. If they don’t act on it, if they don’t pray and physically act on it, it will come to pass,” he said.

5. Paramount Chief of Techiman must pray

Nigel also said that he saw something bad happening to the Paramount Chief of Techiman.

“The Lord carried me to Techiman. I didn’t like what I saw about the paramountcy of Techiman. Let the paramount chief of Techiman be watchful, more wishful, and prayerful,” he said.

6. Agradaa

He also prophesied that Patricia Asieduaa, popularly known as Nana Agradaa, who has been jailed for a number of crimes, will be released in 2026.

“I saw Agradaa’s release. I don’t know how it’s going to happen. On December 22, I was sleeping, and the Lord carried me into a vision. Then I saw, and I heard on the radio in a local language that she had been released.

“So when I was about to get out of my vision, I saw white handkerchiefs. I don’t know when. I don’t know how, but as a prophet of the Lord, who says and it cometh to pass, I’ve seen spiritually that Agradaa will be released,” he said.

7. Bawumia winning NPP presidential primaries

He also prophesied that former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia will win the upcoming presidential primaries of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP).

He said that Dr Bawumia, who was the flagbearer of the NPP in the 2024 presidential election, will snatch the victory from another contender in the race he called “Mr Tesite.”

“The Spirit of God carried me. The Spirit of God carried me. And when the Spirit of God carried me, I saw Mr Tesite leading and seemingly as though he has won. Then I saw lamentations. I saw pleadings. I saw lamentations. I saw pleadings.

“Then I saw that the win that is for Mr Tesite, I saw another take it. I saw Dr Bawumia take it. I saw the perfect will of God turning into the permissive will of God. I had a lot to talk there. I had a lot to speak to about that, but I’m being guided. But I’ve spoken the mind of God,” he said.

8. Postponement of World Cup

Nigel also said that the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which is scheduled to take place in the United States, Mexico, and Canada, is likely to be put on hold.

“I saw in America a lot of jets—a lot of jets in the space of America. If we don’t pray, the World Cup may not come on, or maybe we may postpone it, or there will be a problem with the America one.

“The LORD carried my spirit, and I saw planes in the space of America. I will pray and we will avert it because prayer can avert the black stars of Ghana,” he said.

9. Black Stars will be in the finals of the World Cup

He also prophesied that Ghana’s men’s national football team, the Black Stars, will do very well at the 2026 World Cup and will even reach the final of the event.

“I’ve seen that they will go to the finals, finals. Listen, the Black Stars will do extremely well at the finals. I saw it. Black Stars of Ghana will do extremely well at the finals,” he said.
