Hearts of Oak secured their first victory of the 2025/26 Ghana Premier League season with a narrow 1-0 win over Dreams FC at the Nii Adjei Kraku II Sports Complex in Tema Newtown on Monday.

The decisive moment came in the 14th minute when midfielder Mohammed Hussein found the back of the net.

Hussein reacted quickly inside the penalty area and struck a composed effort past Dreams goalkeeper Gidios Aseako to hand the visitors an early lead.

It was a goal that ultimately proved enough to separate the two sides.

Dreams, who were looking to respond following their opening-day defeat to Heart of Lions, grew into the game after conceding but struggled to convert their chances.

The Still Believe side enjoyed long spells of possession and pressed for an equaliser, yet they found Hearts’ defence well-organised and difficult to break down.

The win provides an important response for Hearts after their disappointing goalless draw with newly promoted Hohoe United last weekend.

Head coach Mas-Ud Didi Dramani will be encouraged by the team’s ability to withstand pressure and protect their slim advantage in Tema.

The result also ended Dreams’ six-match unbeaten run against Hearts and marked their first home defeat since December 2024, when they lost to Asante Kotoko.

Hearts now move onto four points from their opening two games, while Dreams remain without a point after back-to-back defeats.

Ghana will host its first-ever Transport and Logistics Fair in October 2025, marking a strategic pivot toward positioning the country as West Africa’s mobility and logistics hub.

The landmark three-day event, scheduled for October 22-24, 2025, at the World Trade Centre in Accra, represents a collaboration between the Ministry of Transport and technology partner Digital Eye. The fair aims to showcase Ghana’s transportation transformation while attracting regional and international investment.

President John Dramani Mahama is expected to officially open the fair, underscoring the government’s commitment to modernizing Ghana’s transport infrastructure as part of broader economic development goals. The presidential endorsement signals the strategic importance of the event in Ghana’s national development agenda.

The fair operates under the theme “Resetting Ghana’s Transport Sector for Improved Connectivity, Innovation and Investment,” and is expected to attract approximately 200 exhibitors from 50 countries with an estimated 10,000 attendees. This scale positions the event as potentially the largest transport sector gathering in the sub-region.

The three-day showcase will feature Electric Vehicles (EVs), green transport solutions, and advanced logistics technologies, reflecting global trends toward sustainable mobility. Interactive policy dialogues will provide platforms for developing forward-looking strategies to reposition Ghana’s transport and logistics landscape for international competitiveness.

A unique aspect of the fair involves comprehensive government agency participation. All agencies under the Ministry of Transport will establish exhibition stands, creating a one-stop customer service experience for visitors. Citizens and businesses will engage directly with sector leaders on progress in driver and vehicle registration, aviation development, port and rail infrastructure, and public transport reforms.

The inclusive platform brings together diverse stakeholders including commercial vehicle operators’ associations, the Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU) of the Trades Union Congress (TUC), logistics companies, entrepreneurs, students, and investors. This cross-sector collaboration aims to strengthen foundations for a modern, connected, and investment-ready transportation system.

Transport Minister Felix Kwakye Ofosu described the fair as “a bold national statement and a deliberate convergence of innovation, investment, and inclusive dialogue to address longstanding inefficiencies in the sector” during the official media launch in Ho, Volta Region.

Ghana’s strategic positioning as a gateway to West Africa makes the fair particularly significant for regional connectivity. The country’s central location, political stability, and ongoing infrastructure reforms create opportunities for investors seeking to access broader regional markets through improved transport and logistics networks.

The timing aligns with Ghana’s broader infrastructure development agenda under President Mahama’s administration. Recent initiatives include courting Singapore investment in port and logistics infrastructure, demonstrating the government’s systematic approach to transforming the transport sector through international partnerships.

For the private sector, the fair represents an opportunity to showcase innovations while accessing government contracts and partnerships. The emphasis on electric vehicles and green technologies positions Ghana ahead of regional peers in sustainable transport adoption.

The event’s focus on addressing sector inefficiencies through innovation and investment dialogue could accelerate solutions to persistent challenges in Ghana’s transport network. These include inadequate road infrastructure, limited rail connectivity, and inefficient port operations that have historically constrained economic growth.

International exhibitors will gain insights into Ghana’s transport policy direction while exploring investment opportunities in a market undergoing significant transformation. The government’s commitment to creating an enabling environment for private sector participation enhances the fair’s appeal to foreign investors.

The Ghana Transport and Logistics Fair 2025 establishes a new platform for annual engagement between government, private sector, and development partners. Success of the inaugural event could position Ghana as the preferred location for future regional transport and logistics conferences and exhibitions.

King Xenodzi claims he uses the secret Bitcoin code name as the founder of bitcoin

King Xenodzi, formally known as Professor Dr Torgbui Xenodzi Dogbey II, is emerging as one of Ghana’s most fascinating and controversial modern figures.

Describing himself as a monarch, scientist, entrepreneur, philanthropist, mystic, and political voice, his multidimensional life continues to spark both admiration and debate.

Born on December 21, 1983, the 41-year-old is the Dufia (Chief) of Worgbato-Klikor in the Volta Region.

Beyond traditional leadership, he has made a mark in science and innovation, inventing the Xenodzi Decoction Machine, a device designed to modernise the preparation of herbal and scientific medicines by blending ancient healing practices with technology.

Meet the brilliant scientist who brought internet to Africaec

His humanitarian footprint is equally global. In 2024, he received the World Humanitarian Award in the UK, with his initiatives said to have impacted over 100 million lives worldwide.

Known for his humility, according to online reports, he famously stated, “Respect the poor. When helping the poor, leave the cameras at home.”

King Xenodzi’s spiritual journey began after a near-death experience in 2002, which he says took him through “10 Heavens” and reshaped his worldview.

His mystical studies have since included guidance under Rabbi Yitzhak Kaduri of Israel, tying him to Jewish and Christian traditions of spiritual knowledge.

On the political front, he once declared his ambition to contest as a parliamentary candidate for the Ashaiman Constituency under the NDC in 2019, before being enstooled as chief in 2020. Reports added that he is also recorded in Ghana’s official gazette.

But, perhaps, the most headline-grabbing claim linked to King Xenodzi is his association with Bitcoin.

He has publicly claimed that he is the man behind the hidden identity Satoshi Nakamoto, the mysterious founder of the world’s largest cryptocurrency.

He further asserts that his wealth positions him on the verge of becoming the world’s first trillionaire.

King Xenodzi also maintains strong ancestral and spiritual connections with his book, Complete Generations, which traces his lineage back 97 generations to biblical figures, including Jehoahaz of Judah.

Identifying as Jewish-Ewe and Christian, he embraces both faith and heritage in his leadership, an article by thenewindependentonline.com said.

With three children, global collaborations with personalities like former US President Barack Obama and Ghana’s late President John Evans Atta Mills, and a strong social media presence, King Xenodzi continues to blend tradition, science, politics, mysticism, and now cryptocurrency into a narrative that is as unconventional as it is captivating.

Whether or not his claim of being the mind behind Bitcoin holds weight, King Xenodzi’s story secures him a place among Ghana’s most intriguing personalities of the 21st century.

Bodi (WN/R), Sept. 22, GNA – The Sefwi Bodi Calvary Methodist Church under the Afere Circuit, Sefwi Bekwai Diocese, has organised a Send-Off Church Service in honour of Reverend Kingsley Frimpong Tandoh and his family.   

In his farewell message, Rev Tandoh urged Christians especially those in the Afere Circuit to put God first in everything they did, saying mankind could not serve God and something else at the same time.  

He was preaching on the theme: “YOU CANNOT SERVE GOD AND WEALTH. (Luke 16:1-13).”  

According to him, the Bible had stated clearly that one could serve two masters, adding “you either hate one and love the other or you will be devoted to one and despise the other.”  

Rev Tandoh said: “It is very sad that human beings have allowed themselves for many things to compete for their devotion to God, and wealth is one of the greatest obstacles, and this is unacceptable in the sight of God.”  

As part of the ceremony, a Pulpit built for the Sefwi Bodi Methodist Church by Rev Tandoh was dedicated to the church by the Very Reverend Alex Asante Anom, the superintendent minister for  Sefwi Dwenase Circuit of the Methodist Church with the help of the Assistant Synod Secretary of the Bekwai Diocese of the Methodist Church Ghana.

Former Government Spokesperson on Governance and Security, Dr. Palgrave Boakye-Danquah, has called on President John Dramani Mahama to urgently appoint a Minister of Defence, warning that the President is losing grip on the country’s security.

Speaking on Breakfast Daily on Channel One TV on Monday, September 22, 2025, Dr. Boakye-Danquah said recent violent incidents and intelligence he has gathered point to a deteriorating security situation.

“There have been pocket of clashes everywhere. Do you know that this pocket of clashes will not end because the solutions have not meted out and I will state it again… on the 10th September in Sampa in Bono people died, Tamale technical, some people died, just yesterday in Kukurantumi, where next? We are not safe in this country and the more I receive intelligence from the east of this country, the west of this country, the south and north of this country, I don’t think that the president is in charge, he is almost losing grip of the security situation in the country,” he said.

He stressed that the situation would persist if the President does not quickly appoint a Defence Minister to restore order, noting that the police appear overstretched.

“Do you know that this pocket of clashes will not end because the solutions have not been meted out… He must immediately appoint a minister for defence, designate, call parliamentary committee to vet that person, so that security can be in place well. The Police seem to be overwhelmed by the situation that is happening,” he added.

His comments follow violent confrontations in Kukurantumi between the youth and the police after a suspect, identified as Bright, died in custody.

The irate youth accused a police officer of allegedly assaulting the suspect after he was arrested during a swoop for substances suspected to be Indian hemp.

Kennedy Agyapong is NPP flagbearer hopeful

New Patriotic Party flagbearer hopeful, Kennedy Agyapong, has outlined his vision for Ghana’s economic future, pledging to adapt the principles of the Asian Miracle to drive industrialization and development.

He explained that the Asian Miracle referred to the rapid rise of economies such as Singapore, South Korea, and Taiwan, where governments played an active role in nurturing local industries.

Agyapong noted that the growth of these companies were as a result of support given to them in the form of targeted policies, credit facilities, subsidies, and direct financial assistance.

Speaking at the National Emerging Leaders Economic Forum 2025, Kennedy Agyapong said companies that used these resources effectively were strengthened, while those that failed to deliver were replaced by better managers to ensure efficiency and results.

Meet the brilliant scientist who brought internet to Africa

He stressed that Ghana could follow the same path by combining government intervention with accountability.

In his view, this approach would channel public resources toward capable entrepreneurs, prevent waste, and build industries that could compete globally.

A critical aspect of his plan is ensuring that no one treats government support as a free ride.

Beneficiaries of soft loans and other incentives would be required to deliver results, and if they failed to perform, the support and in some cases the entire enterprise would be taken away and reassigned to more competent managers.

This, he argued, would instill discipline, reward hard work, and guarantee that resources are used productively.

He concluded that Ghana possesses the talent and potential for such transformation, but it requires courage, discipline, and the determination to replicate strategies that have already proven successful elsewhere.

The residents of Dobile woke up on Sunday, September 21, 2025, to news of the death of a night watchman in the area.

The deceased, identified as Issah Yahaya, was found with his head smashed and a knife lying on his chest under a shed near the Wa new market.

The deceased, also known as ‘Soldier’, was said to be one of the security men of the market who patrolled the area at night.

The body has since been retrieved by the Ghana Police Service and conveyed to the regional mortuary for preservation.

The recent incident has brought back memories of a series of killings that the metropolis experienced in recent years.

In the previous killings, some of the victims had parts of their bodies missing, and this fueled the perception that the killings were for rituals.

No arrest was made in the previous incidents.

The Municipal Chief Executive of Wa, Alhaji Issah Nurah Danwana has appealed to residents to remain calm while the police carry out investigations.

As part of measures to improve security in the metropolis, he said the assembly was fixing all the street lights.

Already, he said about 70 percent of the existing streetlights have been replaced and made functional.

However, he said there was a deficit of about 400 streetlights that needed fixing and stated that the assembly has written to the stakeholders involved for support.

He also appealed to the Inspector General of Police to support the region with police Patrols to improve security in the town. 

He said at the peak of the killings in the previous administration, the police mounted barriers in some areas within the metropolis, but said some of these barriers have since been removed and the men withdrawn.

The streets of Borteyman in Accra came alive on Sunday, September 21, 2025, as the Gladiators Cycling Club staged the 4th edition of the Osagyefo Criterium in celebration of Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah’s birthday.

The event drew 33 men and 5 women who tested their endurance and strategy over 110km and 77km respectively, giving fans a thrilling display of speed, power, and determination.

Nigeria’s Mary Sunday stole the spotlight in the women’s category with a commanding ride that secured her victory and the GHS 5,000 prize. She was joined on the podium by Coxson Treasure of Team Subsea in second place and Ghana’s Ellen Anim in third.

The men’s race was a tense battle from start to finish, with the peloton shutting down every attempt at a breakaway. It all came down to a breathtaking sprint finish that required a photo review to decide the winner.

Prince Kudufia of EPIC Cycling Club emerged champion, claiming the GHS 7,500 top prize, with Solomon Tagoe of Gutten Cycling Club finishing second and Prince Maison of Club Sky Team taking third.

The success of the race was made possible by the tireless work of more than 23 volunteers, the coordination of race marshals led by Madam Cassandra Tawiah, and safety officers from the Ghana Police Service and National Ambulance Service.

Technical support and officiating were provided by the Ghana Cycling Federation through Rudolf Mensah, John Zormelo, Nii Anum Quaye, Wilson Nkurmah, Elizabeth, and Eric “30 30 Laps” Adjetey Sowah.

At the heart of the organisation were Hansen Quao, Andrew Kamkam, and members of the Gladiators Cycling Club, who delivered a spectacle many described as world-class.

President of the Club, Mr. Kojo Graham — popularly known as Power to the People — praised the winners, organisers, and fans, stressing that the Osagyefo Criterium is more than just a race but a symbol of teamwork, unity, and a living tribute to the visionary legacy of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah.

With thrilling speed, strategy, and solidarity on display, the 2025 Osagyefo Criterium once again reaffirmed its place as Ghana’s premier cycling showcase.
