Ankara Dress Styles for Young Ladies

Ankara fabric, known for its bold prints and vibrant colors, has become a cornerstone of African fashion. Popular among young ladies for its versatility, Ankara dresses offer a perfect blend of modern style and cultural heritage. Whether for casual outings, weddings, or formal events, the variety of Ankara dress styles available means there’s something to suit every occasion and personality. Here’s a look at some of the most stylish Ankara dress options for young ladies.

1. Off-Shoulder Ankara Dresses

Off-shoulder dresses are a chic and youthful choice for young women. The off-shoulder style adds a touch of elegance and sophistication while maintaining a playful vibe. With the vibrant patterns of Ankara fabric, these dresses become eye-catching and unique. They can be designed as mini, midi, or maxi dresses, depending on personal preference, making them versatile for both day-to-day wear or a more glamorous evening look.

2. A-Line Ankara Dresses

A-line dresses are universally flattering, making them an excellent choice for any young lady. The silhouette, which gradually flares out from the waist, creates a balanced, feminine shape. A-line Ankara dresses can be sleeveless, short-sleeved, or long-sleeved, making them adaptable to different weather conditions. The beautiful Ankara prints enhance the dress’s style, making it perfect for everything from casual brunches to family gatherings.

3. Ankara Peplum Dresses

Peplum dresses are a fashionable and elegant option that adds a flared detail at the waistline, creating a feminine shape. Ankara peplum dresses can be styled in a variety of ways, from short to knee-length or even floor-length versions. The peplum detail adds texture and movement to the dress, and when paired with Ankara’s vibrant prints, the result is a stunning piece that exudes confidence and style.

4. Ankara Shift Dresses

Shift dresses are known for their loose, straight-cut silhouette, which makes them both comfortable and flattering. Ankara shift dresses are ideal for young ladies who want a simple yet stylish outfit. These dresses can be dressed up or down with the right accessories, making them perfect for both casual outings and semi-formal events. The bold Ankara patterns add a dynamic touch, making the simple design come alive.

5. Ankara Wrap Dresses

The wrap dress is a timeless style that creates a flattering, curvy silhouette by tying the fabric at the waist. Ankara wrap dresses, in particular, are popular because they combine comfort, elegance, and style. This design is perfect for a figure-hugging, yet modest look. Wrap dresses in Ankara fabric can be worn for both daytime and evening events, depending on the accessories and shoes paired with them.

6. Ankara Maxi Dresses

For a more dramatic and formal style, Ankara maxi dresses are a perfect choice. The floor-length design offers full coverage while still maintaining a fashionable and elegant appearance. With the beautiful, colorful patterns of the Ankara fabric, these maxi dresses are ideal for special occasions such as weddings, dinner parties, or festivals. The long, flowing nature of the dress adds movement and grace to any look.

7. Ankara Tunic Dresses

For a laid-back, casual style, Ankara tunic dresses are an excellent choice. These dresses typically feature a relaxed fit, making them perfect for everyday wear. They can be paired with leggings or skinny jeans for a trendy, comfortable look. Ankara tunics come in various styles, with some featuring unique details like pockets, ruffles, or pleats, giving the dress a modern twist.

Conclusion

Ankara dresses for young ladies are a fashionable and versatile addition to any wardrobe. Whether opting for an off-shoulder dress, a peplum style, or a chic maxi, the bold prints and rich textures of Ankara fabric ensure that these dresses stand out. Young women can express their cultural heritage while embracing modern trends, making Ankara dresses a timeless fashion statement. With a variety of styles to choose from, these dresses are perfect for any occasion, combining elegance, comfort, and vibrant flair.

Samini Demands Higher Compensation For Actors

Samini Demands Higher Compensation For Actors

Samini

 

Celebrated Ghanaian dancehall musician, Samini, has expressed concerns over the poor remuneration of actors in Ghana’s film industry, stating that the pay structure does not match the effort actors put into their craft.

Speaking on a podcast, the celebrated musician revealed that his personal experiences on movie sets have given him a firsthand understanding of the challenges actors’ face, particularly when it comes to compensation.

While responding to a question about why he hasn’t pursued acting more seriously despite his evident talent, Samini admitted that the industry is too draining, both physically and financially.

“It’s a very, very draining profession to be in,” he noted, emphasising that he holds no disrespect for the film industry but believes actors deserve better.

The dancehall icon, who has graced multiple movie sets in the past, revealed that actors are severely underpaid compared to musicians, despite both being part of the entertainment industry. He illustrated this disparity by comparing performance rates for musicians versus actor fees in 2025.

According to Samini, A-list musicians can command between GH¢150,000 to GH¢250,000 for a full-band live performance. Even lesser-known musicians can earn GH¢15,000 to GH¢20,000 for a 30-minute performance in Accra.

However, when it comes to actors, the situation is vastly different.

Samini disclosed that even A-list actors struggle to secure GH¢10,000 to GH¢25,000 for an entire movie project, which often requires them to dedicate up to three weeks of their time on set.

“Some of the big names are able to push for maybe GH¢20,000 to GH¢25,000, but that even depends on who is hiring them,” he explained.

Meanwhile, lesser-known actors are paid as little as GH¢2,000 for weeks of work, a stark contrast to a musician earning GH¢15,000 for just three songs. “It’s crazy, and something has to be done about it,” he stated passionately.

He proposed that industry players should set a minimum pay structure to ensure that actors are fairly compensated.

He further exemplified that A-list actors for instance, should not be paid below GH¢50,000 per movie. B-list actors should earn at least GH¢30,000, and no mainstream actor should be paid less than GH¢15,000 for any role.

Samini believes that a structured and fair payment system will ultimately improve the livelihoods of actors and elevate the quality of Ghanaian films.

He urged producers, directors, and industry stakeholders to re-evaluate how they compensate actors.

Amoakohene’s behaviour was unprofessional – Ntim Fordjour

Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, Member of Parliament for Assin South and Ranking Member on the Defence and Interior Committee, has condemned the actions of the Ashanti Regional Minister, Dr Frank Amoakohene, towards the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) at the scene of the fire outbreak at Adum Central Market in Kumasi.

Speaking on Joy News on Tuesday, March 25, Ntim Fordjour described Amoakohene’s conduct as highly unprofessional. He emphasized that the GNFS already operates with limited resources, yet their efforts in extinguishing fires often go unappreciated by the public and politicians.

Instead of acknowledging their challenges, they are met with criticism, which he believes is unfair.

A viral video circulating online captured Dr Amoakohene instructing firefighters to move their fire engines away if they insisted on having a standby tanker supply them with water.

Clarifying the situation, ACFO II Peter Tetteh explained that at the time of the Minister’s remarks, firefighters had temporarily paused operations to allow excavators to create access for more effective firefighting.

Ntim Fordjour further highlighted the struggles the GNFS faces in responding to fire incidents, stressing that despite their efforts, they continue to receive harsh criticism.

“One of the agencies that have been unfairly treated by the public and often misperceived as incompetent, ineffective, and unwilling to help is the Fire Service. These firefighters have been unjustly criticized.

“Whenever there is a fire outbreak, and they arrive at the scene, the first reaction from politicians and victims is to throw tantrums at the personnel, who are already frustrated due to the lack of equipment,” Ntim Fordjour stated.

He elaborated on the logistical challenges faced by the GNFS, explaining that navigating densely populated settlements to access fire sites is often difficult. Additionally, the water capacity of a fire tender is limited, and within five minutes of active firefighting, the supply can be depleted.

“By the nature of the structures in some areas and the volume of water that the tanker carries even when fire tenders arrived at the scene, their water can run out within five minutes of attacking the fire.

“When this happens, it is unfair to throw tantrums at the firefighters, as we saw the Ashanti Regional Minister do. His actions towards the officers were most unprofessional,” he added.

The fire at the Kumasi Central Market destroyed several shops, leaving nine people injured and others in a traumatized state.

‘Playing At Neutral Venue Against Madagascar Gives Ghana An Advantage’

Otto Addo

 

Otto Addo, head coach of Ghana’s National Men’s Football Team-the Black Stars- believes that playing against Madagascar at a neutral location gives Ghana an advantage.

He said this ahead of Ghana’s 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Madagascar on Monday, March 24 at 19:00 GMT at the Mimoun Al Arsi Stadium that seats 12,000 spectators.

The crucial game is set to take place in Morocco and not in Madagascar as originally scheduled due to the unapproved status of Madagascar’s home venue.

While acknowledging the advantage that comes with playing at a neutral site, Otto Addo was quick to point out that such circumstances set up “psychological traps” Ghana should look to avoid.

“Should be [an advantage for us]. Actually yes [it’s an advantage for us] because it’s always not that easy if you play away [from home] and there a lot of spectators but sometimes it’s also a trap, psychologically. Sometimes if you think [that] it’s not going to be a hot atmosphere, it’s kind of a trap and you give maybe one or two percent less and for me…we have to be on our toes.”

Ghana is aiming to qualify to the FIFA World Cup for the fifth time.

Ghana, Morocco move to scrap visa restrictions for all travelers

The Minister for Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, announced that the agreement would be presented to both nations’ parliaments for approval in the coming weeks.

This marks a significant milestone in promoting seamless travel and reinforcing bilateral partnerships.

Following discussions with the Moroccan Ambassador to Ghana, Her Excellency Imane Ouaadil, Ablakwa disclosed that the two nations had also committed to deepening cooperation in agribusiness, tourism, and security.

“We have both additionally pledged to deepen collaboration in agribusiness, tourism, and security,” he stated.

Ablakwa also used the platform to address concerns arising from social media reports about alleged violence against Africans in Morocco. He reassured the public that the Moroccan Ambassador had firmly denied allegations that 700 Africans had been killed in the country.

“Apparently, the footage in issue is an old 24th June 2022 border incident which led to the tragic, unfortunate, and condemnable loss of 23 lives. That deplorable incident has since been investigated by Moroccan and Spanish authorities,” he clarified.

He further assured that no Ghanaian was affected in the reported incident, urging the public to verify information before spreading misinformation.

Shifting the focus to education, Ablakwa announced that Morocco had doubled its annual scholarships for Ghanaian students. The scholarship slots will increase from 90 to 180, beginning this year, providing more opportunities for Ghanaian students to pursue higher education in Morocco.

Prior to his meeting with the Moroccan Ambassador, Ablakwa also held discussions with the Russian Ambassador to Ghana, Sergei Berdnikov. Their talks focused on strengthening diplomatic and economic ties between Ghana and Russia.

“Ghana will continue to pursue our longstanding foreign policy of positive neutrality and serve as a credible voice for global peace,” he affirmed in a Facebook post.

This series of engagements underscores Ghana’s commitment to fostering international partnerships and advancing economic, educational, and security collaborations with key global allies.

Rappers who have won ‘Artiste of the Year’ at Ghana Music Awards since the 2000s

Black Sherif, Sarkodie, Okyeame Kwame and EL Black Sherif, Sarkodie, Okyeame Kwame and EL

Since its inception in 1999, the ‘Artiste of the Year’ title at the Ghana Music Awards has been the most coveted accolade.

This category stands at the peak of the award scheme, and the bragging right it carries are immense.

Discussions and debates about who should win have been overwhelming each time the award season comes around for the past 25 years.

This year (2025), the nominees include Joe Mettle, King Paluta, King Promise, Stonebwoy, Black Sherif, Kweku Smoke, and Team Eternity.

Fans are already debating fiercely on social media about who deserves to win the ‘Artiste of the Year,’ with each fanbase passionately defending their favourite.

However, the focus of this article will be on solo rap artistes who have claimed the prestigious ‘Artiste of the Year’ title at the Ghana Music Awards since the 2000s.

Lord Kenya (2002)

Lord Kenya won four awards at the Ghana Music Awards, including ‘Artist of the Year.’

He arguably opened the floodgates for other rappers to also receive the award in subsequent years.

Kontihene (2003)

In 2003, his song ‘Aketesea’ from his debut album ‘Nyankonton’ won ‘Popular Song of the Year’ and ‘New Artist of the Year’ in 2003.

Kontihene was also awarded the overall ‘Artist of the Year.’

Obour (2005)

Obour, whose real name is Brice Osei Kuffour, made an impact at the Ghana Music Awards in 2005 by taking home five awards.

With his album ‘Atumpan,’ he won ‘Hiplife Album of the Year’.

He also won the coveted ‘Artiste of the Year’ title and was awarded the ‘Hiplife Artiste of the Year.’

Kwaw Kese (2008)

In 2008, he won five awards, including the ‘Hiplife Song of the Year,’ ‘Hiplife Artist of the Year,’ ‘Hiplife Album of the Year,’ and the overall ‘Artiste of the Year.’

Okyeame Kwame (2009)

In 2000, Okyeame Kwame and his group, Akyeame, won the ‘Group of the Year’ and ‘Hiplife Song of the Year’ awards.

However, after the group split, Okyeame Kwame returned as a solo artiste and claimed the prestigious ‘Artiste of the Year’ award in 2009.

Sarkodie (2010 & 2012)

In 2010, his album ‘Makye’ won multiple awards, including the ‘Artiste of the Year’ at the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMAs).

In 2012, Sarkodie claimed the coveted award once again and has since been nominated consecutively for the past decade, with the exception of the 2025 edition, where he has not nominated in the category.

EL (2016)

In 2016, Ghanaian rapper, singer, and music producer Elorm Adablah, popularly known as E.L, was crowned ‘Artiste of the Year’ at the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMAs).

E.L beat stiff competition from some of the industry’s biggest names, including Sarkodie, Stonebwoy, Bisa Kdei, VVIP, and gospel singer SP Kofi Sarpong.

His dominance that year was largely due to exceptional work, which included hit songs like ‘Koko,’ ‘Mi Naa Bo Po,’ ‘Shelele,’ and ‘Too Much.’

Black Sherif (2023)

Rapper Black Sherif won ‘Artiste of the Year’ at the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards in 2023.

He beat seven fierce competitors: Piesie Esther, Sarkodie, Joe Mettle, Stonebwoy, Camidoh, Kidi, and King Promise.

This was the first ‘Artiste of the Year’ award for the ‘Kwaku the Traveller’ hitmaker since his big break in 2021.

Agalga criticises Akufo-Addo over military promotions

The Chairman of the Defense and Interior Committee of Parliament, James Agalga, has criticised former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo for his decision to promote some military officers to the rank of General before leaving office.

According to Mr. Agalga, the move was unwarranted, as Ghana’s military contingent does not meet the international threshold required for such high-ranking promotions.

Speaking in Parliament on Monday, March 24, Mr. Agalga argued that the former president’s decision to elevate the Service Chiefs to the rank of three-star general and the Chief of Defense Staff (CDS) to a four-star general was inconsistent with international military standards.

He stated that Ghana’s military personnel strength is currently around 30,000, which falls far below the 50,000 threshold that typically justifies such promotions.

“Having failed abysmally in expanding the Ghana Armed Forces, Mr. Speaker, the President came and stood before this House in his departing State of the Nation address and announced that he had appointed the Service Chief to the rank of three-star general or its equivalent and the CDS to the rank of a four-star general when the size of our force hovers around 30,000. We haven’t met the threshold of 50,000 to have warranted such a promotion.”

GDPC workers kick against appointment of new CEO

GDPC workers kick against appointment of new CEO

Some workers at the Ghana Deposit Pro­tection Corporation (GDPC) have appealed to President John Dramani Mahama to urgently reconsider the appoint­ment of Mr Galahad Alex Andoh, a former basic school teacher, as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the GDPC.

According to them, the position of CEO for such a critical institu­tion should be given to an individ­ual with strong educational and professional experience in finance and business.

Speaking in an interview with the Ghanaian Times yesterday, one of the workers, who pleaded anonymity, stated that he suspected the appointment was done quietly to prevent public scrutiny.

“This new CEO does not even know how to respond or interact with people via email. It is a worry­ing situation,” he alleged.

Due to the significance of GDPC in Ghana’s financial sector, he said the former board chair was the then-BoG Governor, Dr Ernest Addison.

This, the worker further under­scored the agency’s importance and the need for a qualified leader.

Unlike the former CEO, Mrs Pearl Esua-Mensah, who has a strong background in business and finance, he noted that Mr Andoh’s professional experience was limited to being a teacher and serving as a district coordinator for the Nation­al Disaster Management Organisa­tion (NADMO) during President Mahama’s first administration.

He also revealed that the current CEO is also the communication officer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Ajumako Enyan Essiam Constituency.

“Mrs Esua-Mensah, on the other hand, is a seasoned business leader with decades of experience in finance, banking, and corporate leadership,” he added.

Available information on the official website of the GDPC indicated that before becoming GDPC’s CEO, Mrs Esua-Men­sah was the Founder and Managing Consultant of Feniks Limited, a business consulting firm. She also served as Chief Executive of Media General limited and Deputy Managing Director of UT Bank Ghana.

The website also reveals that the previous CEO’s interna­tional experience includes roles as Group Financial Accoun­tant for Parity Group PLC and Group Reporting Accountant for Kantar Group in the United Kingdom.

With over 20 years of global experience, Mrs Esua-Mensah has expertise in mergers and acquisitions, capital raising, business reorganisation, strategy development, and operational systems. She holds a BSc in Business Administration from the University of Ghana and an MBA from Manchester Business School. She is also a Fellow of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (FCCA).

The anonymous worker further questioned why the new govern­ment appointed someone without financial expertise instead of look­ing for a competent person, saying, “such positions can be given to people within the NDC who are qualified,” he lamented.

The Ghana Deposit Protection Scheme was established by the Ghana Deposit Protection Act, 2016 (Act 931), as amended by the Ghana Deposit Protection (Amendment) Act, 2018 (Act 968).

The scheme aims to protect small depositors from losses due to bank failures and to ensure a stable financial system in Ghana.

It was conceived based on fea­sibility studies conducted in 2012 through collaboration between the BoG and the Government of Ghana, with financial and techni­cal assistance from the German Government through KfW, a state-owned development bank.

With the agency’s critical role in ensuring financial stability, con­cerns have been raised over wheth­er Mr Andoh’s appointment will enhance or weaken its operations

President Mahama appoints 1st Quantity Surveyor as Acting CEO of Ghana Highways Authority

Surveyor Mallam Issah Ishak is the first Quantity Surveyor to lead the Ghana Highways Authority Surveyor Mallam Issah Ishak is the first Quantity Surveyor to lead the Ghana Highways Authority

President John Dramani Mahama has appointed Surveyor Mallam Issah Ishak as the Acting Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Ghana Highways Authority (GHA).

This appointment marks the first time a Quantity Surveyor has been selected to lead the institution since its establishment in 1974.

The Ghana Institution of Surveyors (GhIS) has expressed its profound appreciation for the President’s decision, recognising it as a progressive step towards acknowledging the diverse expertise required in Ghana’s road infrastructure sector.

The institution conveyed its gratitude in a formal letter, commending the President’s commitment to broadening the leadership scope within the GHA.

Historically, the CEO position of the GHA has been held primarily by Civil Engineers, despite provisions in the now-repealed Ghana Highway Authority Act, 1997 (Act 540) allowing for professionals with relevant experience in the road industry to be appointed.

The GhIS believes that this new appointment signifies a major shift in leadership selection, emphasising the value of administrative and managerial skills over purely technical backgrounds.

In their letter of appreciation, the GhIS cited a previous precedent in 2001 when former President John Agyekum Kufuor appointed Surv. Alex Twumasi-Boakye, a Quantity Surveyor, as the Director of the Department of Urban Roads.

His outstanding performance later earned him the position of Chief Director at the Ministry of Roads and Highways, where he oversaw major developments in Ghana’s road infrastructure.

The appointment of Surv. Mallam Issah Ishak was also celebrated at the recently concluded 20th Surveyor’s Week and 56th Annual General Meeting in Accra, which was themed “Harnessing and Projecting Surveying Competencies: A Catalyst for National Development and Embracing Emerging Opportunities.”

The event recognised the significance of the appointment as a landmark achievement for the surveying profession in Ghana.

GhIS has since expressed confidence in Surv. Ishak’s ability to bring immense value to the GHA, particularly with his expertise in procurement, value management, cost estimation, project analysis, contract administration, financial reporting, and risk management.

The institution believes his leadership will significantly contribute to the government’s infrastructure agenda, especially in light of the country’s current financial challenges.

GhIS also reaffirmed its commitment to supporting the government’s road and infrastructure projects under President Mahama’s leadership.

The institution concluded its letter by wishing the President success in his tenure and pledging continued collaboration to drive national development through efficient and professional infrastructure management.

Kevin Taylor, Twene Jonas, and Young Don’s Dispute Turns Physical

Kevin Taylor, Twene Jonas, and Young Don’s ongoing dispute with social media commentators and media personalities has taken a perilous turn, escalating from online verbal attacks to physical confrontations. What began as a war of words has now become an alarming situation, raising concerns about safety and the potential legal consequences.

According to Ghpage, For months, the three influencers have been engaged in a bitter exchange of accusations and insults, using their respective platforms to criticize one another. Kevin Taylor, known for his hard-hitting political commentary, has repeatedly clashed with Twene Jonas, a Ghanaian-American influencer famous for his outspoken criticisms of Ghanaian leadership. Young Don, another vocal personality in the Ghanaian social media space, has also found himself in the middle of this heated dispute.

The situation took a drastic turn when reports surfaced of a physical altercation involving associates of the feuding parties. Unconfirmed sources indicate that an attempted confrontation in the U.S. led to an exchange of physical threats, prompting concerns about the dispute spiraling out of control. Videos circulating on social media suggest that Young Don was allegedly ambushed by individuals believed to be supporters of Kevin Taylor, though Taylor has denied any involvement in orchestrating an attack.

Meanwhile, Twene Jonas, who is known for his unfiltered rants, has vowed to respond with equal force if he is targeted physically. Many social media users and fans of the three influencers have expressed concern over the situation, calling for peace and urging the parties involved to resolve their differences amicably. There have been warnings that the situation could result in legal repercussions, the risk of deportation, or even more violent confrontations if it is not handled appropriately.

Public figures, including fellow media personalities, have also weighed in on the matter, advising Kevin Taylor, Twene Jonas, and Young Don to de-escalate the tensions before things spiral further out of control. As the drama continues to unfold, many are watching closely to see whether the three will choose dialogue over violence or if this feud will take an even more dangerous turn

‘Ghanaian Comedians Can Sell Out O2 Arena’

Lekzy De Comic

 

Ghanaian comedian, Lekzy De Comic, has made a bold statement about the potential of the new generation of Ghanaian comedians.

According to Lekzy, Ghanaian comedians have what it takes to fill the 20,000-capacity O2 Arena in the United Kingdom.

Lekzy’s confidence stems from the impressive growth and vibrancy of the Ghanaian comedy sector.

He believes that with proper promotion, he and his fellow comedians can easily fill the O2 Arena and deliver an extremely successful event.

This optimism is not unfounded, considering the remarkable success Ghanaian comedians have achieved in recent years.

The Ghanaian comedy industry has undergone a remarkable transformation in recent years.

Comedians like OB Amponsah, MC Okokobioko, DKB, Foster Romanus, Clemento Suarez, Kemical, Kojo PJay, Jerry Ashinyo and others have proven themselves to be world-class performers, capable of selling out major event centres in Ghana and beyond.

Their success has been replicated in countries like Nigeria, Southern Africa and the United States of America, demonstrating the global appeal of Ghanaian comedy.

Lekzy De Comic suggests that promoters in the United Kingdom should take notice of the talent and popularity of Ghanaian comedians.

He proposes that they be given the opportunity to perform at musical events in the UK, which would help to introduce them to new audiences.

Lekzy is convinced that once Ghanaian comedians are given the platform, they will prove themselves to be a viable and attractive option for UK audiences.

Lekzy De Comic’s bold claim is not just a statement of confidence; it’s a call to action.

It’s a challenge to promoters, event organisers and audiences to take notice of the talent and potential of Ghanaian comedians.

As the Ghanaian comedy industry continues to grow and evolve, it’s exciting to think about the possibilities that lie ahead.

DSTV to increase prices by 15% effective April 1

MultiChoice Ghana (DSTV) has announced a subscription price adjustment effective April 1, 2025, reflecting an average increase of 15 percent across all subscriber packages.

DSTV increased prices twice in 2024, which infuriated subscribers.

CUTS International has raised concerns with the proposed increase, urging DSTV to give fair notice to consumers over its intention to adjust subscription fees and desist from the short notices it gives to its subscribers in Ghana.

“This short notice period may not have given subscribers adequate time to review their options or make necessary adjustments. Respect for consumers is fundamental in any market, particularly where services are paid for in advance and on a recurring basis.

“Providing timely and transparent communication around price changes is not only fair and reasonable but also helps to build trust and foster good customer relationships”, CUTS International said in a press release.

Similar concerns were raised by Nigerians when MultiChoice announced similar intentions to increase prices. Nigerians subsequently rejected the increase.

57 radio stations face suspension over regulation breaches

The Minister for Communications, Digital Technology, and Innovations, Samuel Nartey George, has announced that 57 radio stations face the risk of frequency suspension for violating regulations.

The Minister says the suspension is intended to provide the media organisations an opportunity to rectify their regulatory breaches before resuming operations.

Addressing journalists on Monday, March 24, Samuel Nartey George stated that three out of the six radio stations that were recently suspended would have their frequencies restored in the coming days.

“The other six stations are a part of a total number of about 63 radio stations whose frequencies are not going to be revoked but are going to be suspended. We suspended the first six because we cannot have a situation where media houses would flout the regulation and say that because of press freedoms, the conditions for their licenses will not be met.

“I will be suspending the licenses, offering them the opportunity to remedy the anomaly in their cases. The six that were affected in the first phase, three of them have indicated to us and brought to the regulator the documentation required for the restoration of their frequencies and I will be authorising the restoration of their frequencies.”

What’s next for Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs after not guilty plea to the latest indictment?

What’s next for Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs after not guilty plea to the latest indictment?

Sean Combs, popularly known as P. Diddy or Puff Daddy Sean Combs, popularly known as P. Diddy or Puff Daddy

Embattled music mogul, Sean “Diddy” Combs, has pleaded not guilty to the latest indictment accusing him of orchestrating two decades of sex trafficking crimes.

The 55-year-old rapper and producer entered the plea upon returning to federal court in New York City on Friday. Addressing Judge Arun Subramanian, Combs confirmed he had read the indictment and understood the charges against him.

Held without bail since his arrest in September, Combs embraced two of his attorneys upon entering the courtroom. As U.S. marshals led him out, he blew kisses to family members and waved.

Judge Subramanian announced that jury selection will begin at the end of April, with questioning of prospective jurors set for May 5 and opening statements expected on May 12.

According to prosecutors, Combs leveraged his power and influence in the music industry to manipulate, intimidate, and coerce women into sex trafficking, often under the guise of romantic relationships.

The indictment details allegations that he used threats, violence, and financial intimidation to force victims—three of whom are explicitly named—to engage in commercial sex acts.

“On multiple occasions, Combs threw objects and people, struck, dragged, choked, and shoved victims. In one instance, he allegedly dangled a victim over an apartment balcony,” the indictment stated.

His defense team contended that prosecutors have exaggerated or misrepresented consensual encounters.

A key courtroom debate on Friday centered around a widely circulated hotel surveillance video aired by CNN last year, in which Sean “Diddy” Combs is seen striking his former protégé and girlfriend, singer Cassie, before throwing her to the floor.

Prosecutor Mitzi Steiner argued that the footage is “critical to the case,” while Combs’ attorney, Marc Agnifilo, called it “deceptive,” claiming the video had been manipulated—sped up in some parts and rearranged to misrepresent events.

Steiner further noted the government’s hesitation to share details about potential accusers with the defense, citing concerns over witness safety.

She emphasized that many individuals are “incredibly frightened” about their identities becoming public, even to Combs’ legal team.

I Have Never Received A Award – Mzbel

Mzbel

 

Songstress Mzbel has revealed that despite a 20-year career in Ghana’s music industry, she has never won any awards. Rising to fame in 2004 with her debut album Awoso Me, Mzbel quickly became one of Ghana’s leading female artistes, garnering fans not only in Ghana but also in Nigeria, Liberia, Ivory Coast, and Kenya.

Speaking in a recent interview on Joy FM’s A-Z, she expressed her disappointment with the lack of formal recognition for her contributions. “I have been in the industry for 20 years; I’ve never received any award,” she stated, suggesting that Ghana is yet to fully celebrate her achievements.

Reflecting on her career, Mzbel admitted, “If I were starting music today, I would put more effort into my branding. The branding wasn’t put together well. I was just put out there without proper branding. I would go on radio and say anything, wear any outfit, and go places I wasn’t supposed to.”

GIIF CEO hiding in Senegal

Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Dr. Dominic Ayine, has revealed that Solomon Asamoah, former Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Infrastructure Investment Fund (GIIF) and a central figure in the ongoing Sky Train Scandal, is currently in Senegal, evading prosecution.

Providing an update on the case, Dr. Ayine disclosed that $2 million was disbursed for the controversial project following a request from Professor Christopher Ameyaw-Akumfi, then Board Chairman of GIIF, and Solomon Asamoah.

We must prosecute, not persecute – Old Tafo MP tells AG

The Member of Parliament (MP) for Old Tafo, Vincent Ekow Assafuah, has strongly criticised the Attorney General, Dr Dominic Ayine, over what he perceives as an unjust approach to legal investigations, particularly in the context of the ongoing anti-corruption drive.

He raised concerns that the tactics employed in these investigations are not only unfair but could also be politically motivated, undermining the legal principle of justice.

Speaking on JoyNews AM Show, Mr Assafuah argued that individuals should not be presumed guilty before they have been given a fair opportunity to defend themselves in court.

He referenced Chapter 5 of Ghana’s Constitution, which guarantees the fundamental human rights of every citizen.

“Under the Constitution of the Republic of Ghana, particularly Chapter 5, which outlines the fundamental human rights of individuals, it is unequivocal that no person should be presumed guilty before being given a fair trial,” Mr Assafuah said.

His remarks came in the wake of a media briefing by Dr Ayine regarding the ongoing investigations into the government’s anti-corruption drive and the “Operation Recover All Loot” initiative.

During the briefing, Dr Ayine discussed various corruption cases being investigated, but Mr Assafuah expressed strong reservations about the handling of these cases in the public domain.

He criticised the tendency to publicly label individuals as guilty before they have had the chance to prove their innocence in a court of law.

“You are supposed to be presumed innocent until proven guilty,” Mr Assafuah stated. “But what are we seeing in this country? With what the Attorney General did yesterday [Tuesday], and the tactics being employed by the NDC, individuals are being publicly labelled guilty before they even have the chance to prove their innocence. This is not only unfair, but it is also deeply shameful.”

Mr Assafuah, who says he knows Dr Ayine personally, expressed disappointment with his actions. He suggested that Dr Ayine may be under pressure from his government and political party to use the investigations to damage the reputation of former officials of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government.

“I know Dr Ayine very well, and this is not the Dr Ayine that I know,” Mr Assafuah remarked. “Go and ask any senior MP, and they will tell you this is not the same person. I believe there is immense pressure on him from his party and government to tarnish the reputation of NPP officials and disgrace the party.”

Further expressing his concerns, Mr Assafuah stated, “I am not sure if he is acting out of his own conviction, but it certainly seems as though external pressures are influencing his actions.”

He concluded by reiterating his belief that justice must be served through proper legal channels, without the interference of political agendas.

$2m Sky Train Saga: I have not gone into hiding in Senegal

Solomon Asamoah is the former CEO of the Ghana Infrastructure Investment Fund Solomon Asamoah is the former CEO of the Ghana Infrastructure Investment Fund

The former CEO of the Ghana Infrastructure Investment Fund (GIIF), Solomon Asamoah, has denied allegations made by the Attorney General, Dr Dominic Akuritinga Ayine, that he is evading justice, hiding, and seeking refuge in Senegal.

The Attorney General, at a press conference on March 24, 2025, explained that Solomon Asamoah was hiding in Senegal after playing a role in the controversial $2 million payment for the failed Accra Sky Train project.

According to Dr Ayine, Asamoah, who is wanted for investigations, has been in Senegal since February 2, 2025, after initially traveling to South Africa.

“The CEO is hiding in Senegal. We tracked him first to South Africa, and now he is in Senegal. When we contacted him, he told us he would not return to Ghana until three months from now, and we are patiently waiting for him. If he does not return, he will be tried in absentia,” he said.

However, refuting the claims, Asamoah, in a statement dated March 24, 2025, shared by 3news and sighted by GhanaWeb, described the AG’s remarks as ‘inaccurate and untrue’.

Setting the record straight regarding his whereabouts, Solomon Asamoah confirmed that he is indeed in Senegal, but clarified that his presence there is for scheduled board meetings, which are part of his corporate responsibilities.

He explained that these meetings had been scheduled before the conclusion of his tenure at GIIF and that he traveled out of the country on March 21, 2025.

“I categorically deny the false and incorrect allegations that I have gone into hiding in Senegal. This claim is entirely inaccurate and untrue. In fact, I traveled out of Ghana on Friday 21st March 2025 to attend scheduled board meetings as part of a corporate responsibility that was planned well in advance,” he stated.

Asamoah explained that before his travel to Senegal, he had not received any invitation from the security agencies regarding an investigation into him.

He added that he was only contacted by the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB) a day after his departure from the country.

“Prior to my departure, I have been present in Ghana for long periods in both February and March. During this period, I was never contacted by any government official in relation to an invitation to assist in any investigation. However, on Saturday 22nd March 2025, a day after departure from Accra, I was indeed contacted via WhatsApp by an official of the National Intelligence Bureau who requested an online meeting with me which we agreed to hold on Wednesday 26th March at 4 pm. This would enable me to respond to any misconceptions and misunderstandings on any substantive matter related to investments by GIIF,” the statement added.

The former government appointee under the Akufo-Addo-led administration reiterated his stance, firmly stating that he had not engaged in any wrongdoing or criminal activity.

He emphasised his commitment to maintaining his integrity and reaffirmed that he was not attempting to evade justice.

“I have not committed any wrongdoing and I absolutely have no reason to run away from justice. I will return home shortly to offer all the assistance and information necessary to support the AG’s investigations which will ultimately vindicate my reputation and integrity,” he added.

The investigations are in connection with a $2 million payment made for a sky train project for the country by the GIIF.

However, the AG disclosed that investigations showed the $2 million payment was made at the request of GIIF’s Board Chairman, Prof. Ameyaw Ekumfi, and Solomon Asamoah without the necessary board approval.

“There was no board approval for the transaction, and the conditions precedent to disbursement had not been met. We tracked the company to Mauritius and a lawyer there has confirmed to us that it does not exist. But that is also a developing story.

“If there is going to be a delay, we will start the prosecution with him being tried in absentia. Prof. Ameyaw Ekumfi, who acted with him to transfer the money, is in the country, and the legal process will proceed,” he affirmed.

Prof Ekumfi has since been questioned by the National Investigations Bureau (NIB) and granted bail.

Why Adu-Boahene, Nii-Armah Quaye are trending

L-R: Kwabena Adu-Boahene and Richard Nii-Armah Quaye L-R: Kwabena Adu-Boahene and Richard Nii-Armah Quaye

Some Ghanaian netizens have expressed an array of reactions, including shock and surprise, following the release of a list detailing alleged properties and assets acquired by Kwabena Adu-Boahene, the former Director-General of the National Signals Bureau (NSB), by the Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Dr Dominic Akuritinga Ayine.

This has caused Adu-Boahene to trend on social media, particularly on X, for Tuesday, March 25, 2025.

According to the AG, while speaking at a presser on March 24, 2025, during which he provided updates on the arrest of Kwabena Adu-Boahene and about the investigations made so far into the matter, the suspect allegedly acquired landed properties in Accra and 2 others in London, with some of the properties estimated at millions of US dollars.

Some of the properties include landed properties at Mayfair Estates at LA, Accra; Vertex Properties at Oyarifa Gated Estate Development, among others.

In light of this, some netizens have called for the prosecution of the suspect, expressing outrage over his rapid accumulation of assets within a short period and the alleged embezzlement of state funds during his tenure in office.

Critics have further questioned the morality and greed often displayed by politically exposed persons, who, upon getting the opportunity to serve, accumulate stolen wealth for themselves.

They specifically highlighted how many individuals who, prior to entering public office, had limited assets, but managed to amass substantial wealth in relatively short periods.

Additionally, some have raised concerns about the extent of corruption occurring within major ministries and agencies, considering the alleged crimes committed at the NSB, which they regard as a lesser-known government entity.

Other trending topics are Atta Akyea and #RNAQ40.
