Let’s stay positive in 2025 and beyond, we shall bounce back stronger
The Member of Parliament for Effiduase Asokore and a pioneer in NPP youth advocacy, Hon. Dr. Ayew Afriye, has encouraged the youth of the party to remain positive about its electoral prospects as we enter the New Year 2025.
Dr. Ayew Afriye believes the NPP will bounce back stronger, urging the party’s youth not to despair despite the December 7, 2024, electoral defeat.
In a heartfelt message to the party’s teeming youth, the outspoken legislator noted that although last year’s electoral defeat came as a shock, it is time for the party—especially the youth wing—to shake the dust off their feet and approach the coming years with renewed hope and commitment.
Concerns have been raised about how the NPP will revive its base following the embarrassing defeat to its bitter political rival, the NDC, in the December 7 polls.
However, the Effiduase Asokore Member of Parliament emphasized that 2025 should mark a new dawn for the party. He called on all groups within the party to gird their loins for the battle ahead.
Noted for his leading role in sustaining the party’s grassroots advocacy as the founding leader of the once-vibrant Alliance For Accountable Governance (AFAG), Dr. Ayew Afriye declared his readiness to support the party’s grassroots resurgence, even as “we prepare to offer constructive and credible opposition to the incoming NDC administration.”
“This is not the time for us to lose hope. The NPP is a party with a strong foundation. We have been here before as a party and came out even stronger. We need to stay focused as we begin the healing process, identify the cause of our failure, and rebuild this party,” he said.

Why should anyone be awarding a state honour to Bryan Acheampong and Hawa Koomson? – Asiedu Nketiah
The National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia, has taken a swipe at President Nana Akufo-Addo for awarding state honours to certain government officials, including Bryan Acheampong and Hawa Koomson.
Asiedu Nketia questioned the rationale behind these awards, alleging that the recipients had failed to distinguish themselves in their roles.
Real Madrid consider second offer for Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold
Real Madrid had their first approach rebuffed by Liverpool for Trent Alexander-Arnold. Despite their intention to recruit him in the summer, they are not giving up entirely on bringing him in this season.
Los Blancos feel they have the advantage in terms of a negotiating position, believing that Alexander-Arnold will sign a precontract with them if he does not join in January. As such they are not willing to spend big on Alexander-Arnold in January. However The Times report that Real Madrid are considering coming back in for him to bolster their depleted ranks this season.
Liverpool have thus far made their position clear, even with Real Madrid willing to reach €20-25m to get the deal done. They still hope that they can persuade Alexander-Arnold to sign a contract renewal. The same source explains that no figures were discussed with Liverpool when Real Madrid opened talks, but Carlo Ancelotti is pushing for the deal, with Lucas Vazquez his only natural alternative at right-back due to a sesaon-ending injury to Dani Carvajal.
It seems unlikely that Los Blancos will be successful in their attempt in the winter transfer window, and it has even been suggested by Liverpool icon Jamie Carragher that it is a play by Real Madrid in order to help Alexander-Arnold leave on better terms, with the club turning down offers. Certainly the approach of Real Madrid is one that speaks from a position of confidence though, suggesting they have certain assurances.

Tema ECG loses cables to fire
The Tema Region of Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has suffered from a fire incident that has gutted parts of its major cables running behind the Lube Oil Company in Tema, in the Greater Accra Region.
The fire, which was reportedly seen around 5 pm on Tuesday, December 31, 2024, has ravaged the cables, which will need to be replaced as they can not be salvaged.
This incident caused temporary power cuts to customers in areas such as Adjetey Ansah, the Naval Quarters, Aunty Kate, Leonardo, and Bankuman, some of whom unfortunately had their power cut unresolved till the following day. However, as of the morning of Wednesday, January 1, 2025, all affected customers had their power supply restored.
The cause of the fire is currently unknown. The Public Relations Officer of the Tema Region of the power distributor, Ms. Sakyiwaa Mensah, appreciated the Ghana National Fire Service for their timely intervention in curtailing the fire.
Ms. Mensah was asked about the cost of the damaged cables, to which she said that “the extent of damage is still being assessed. Until this assessment is done, it will be difficult for us to ascertain the cost associated. ”
She, however, added that “it will be an appreciable cost as the damage is major.” She also apologised to the affected customers who had no power to usher in the new year due to this fire incident.
The PRO further cautioned the public generally to be careful of how open fire is handled in such times of dry weather and bushes as the bushes can easily catch fire and end up causing massive property damage, and affect businesses.
May 2025 bring us joy, peace and abundant blessings – Akufo-Addo
Former NPP Deputy Organiser Arrested..See Reason
The victims’ stories paint a clear picture of desperation and betrayal. They trusted Opei, believing in his claimed connections to high-ranking officials and institutions, including Ghana’s presidential residence. The sums involved—ranging from 7,000 to 450,000 Ghana cedis—show the extent of financial harm caused, as many victims spent life savings or borrowed money to pay for promised jobs that never materialized.
This case underscores several critical issues:
1. Exploitation of Vulnerability: Jobseekers, especially those looking for positions in prestigious government sectors, are often targets for fraudsters due to the competitive nature of recruitment.
2. Integrity of Recruitment Processes: The alleged fraud raises questions about transparency and fairness in Ghana’s security services’ hiring practices. Perceived insider connections can create a breeding ground for scams.
3. The Role of Political Figures: Opei’s former political position may have lent credibility to his claims, making it easier for him to exploit trust.
4. Public Awareness and Prevention: This incident serves as a cautionary tale, emphasizing the need for public education about recognizing and avoiding fraudulent schemes.
5. Need for Accountability and Reform: The incident highlights the urgent need for stronger oversight and reforms to prevent similar scams in the future.
As authorities investigate and prosecute Opei, this case should prompt a broader conversation about improving governance, fostering trust in public institutions, and protecting citizens from such predatory practices. Victims coming forward and sharing their stories is a significant step toward justice and systemic change.

UNITED TO PURSUE PEACE, UNITY AND DEVELOPMENT FOR BAWKU-BAWKU NABA
The Paramount Chief for the Bawku Traditional Area, Zug-Raan Naba Asigri Abugrago Azoka II, has called on the people of Bawku to aggressively pursue the cause of peace and tranquility as they usher in the new year (2025).
He said the protracted conflict had dealt a huge blow to the progress of Bawku and its environs, and that, it was only proper the youth and elders in the area charted a progressive path to deliberately and consciously consolidate peace in the area.
This, he believed, was the only way to restore permanent calm, after hundreds of people had been killed, with many others fleeing the area in the wake of the long-running local power struggle.
The Zug-Raan was speaking at the occasion of a joint celebration of his 40th anniversary and the 37th Samanpiid marked in Bawku of the Upper East Region, Tuesday (December 31, 2024).
The Paramount Chief of Bawku who doubles as the President for the Kusaug Traditional Council, Zug-Raan Azoka II ascended the throne of on April 24, 1984, after succeeding his late father, Naba Abugrago Azoka I.
Speaking on the theme: “Forty Years of Selfless Leadership; Consolidating the Peace, Unity and Development of Kusaug”, he noted that the people of Bawku had been confronted with dire socio-economic development issue following some disturbances, as many corporate and government agencies fled the area in the heat of the impasse.
The impasse, he said, had rendered the community destitute and backward, and rallied all tribes in the area to embrace peace, so as to to rekindle the hopes of the once economically vibrant municipality in the region.
“As I call on each and sundry to embrace peace in Bawku, I wish to extend a special thanks to our security services who have worked tirelessly to ensure the protection of lives and property in Bawku”, he added.
The Bawku Naba also highlighted some achievements chalked in his 40-year reign.
Notable amongst them include his immense contribution to abolish the practice of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) that threatened the lives of adolescent girls; enskinment of Queen Mothers, and the elevation of many sub-chiefs to the status of Divisional Chiefs.
On education front, the chief touted his efforts in converting the experimental Junior High School into Bawku Senior High/Technical School; the establishment of the Tempane SHS, Zebilla SHST; and the Community Day Senior High Schools in Pusiga, Binduri, Sapelliga and Garu.
Zug-Raan Azoka II called on natives of Bawku and the region at large to endeavour to protect the environment from depletion.
“As part of efforts to protect the natural environment, a ban on bush fire was placed, while I took steps to enskin an Environment Chief called ” MoogNa’ab to take care of the environment in Kusaug following the increasing desertification and its associated climate change effects”, Bawku Naba disclosed to a rousing applause from celebrants.
He used the platform to remind the incoming National Democratic Congress-led government to prioritize the completion of the reconstruction of the 103-kiliometre Bolgatanga-Bawku-Pulimakom road, and the Tamne irrigation dam project.

Dr. Bin Salih further said: “As a community, you may have your differences in beliefs and ethnic extraction, but that should not make you fight each other.
” Your cultural diversity should drive sustainable development, not a source of division and conflict. Let us rise above sectarian differences and reason together for peace and development “.

I Was Called To Service A Big NPP Man Because I’m Part Of The Organization — NPP Lady
A woman who identifies as a staunch supporter and active member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has shared a shocking and thought-provoking account of her experience within the organization. Speaking in confidence, the NPP lady revealed how she was allegedly called upon to render personal services to a high-ranking male member of the party, simply because of her affiliation with the group.
According to her, the request was made with the implication that her loyalty to the party demanded such sacrifices. While she did not disclose the specific nature of the “service” she was asked to provide, her statement has sparked a wave of speculation and heated debate. “I was called to service a ‘big’ NPP man because I’m part of the organization,” she said, emphasizing her dismay at the audacity of the request. “Being a member of the party doesn’t mean I should compromise my dignity or personal boundaries.”
Her revelations have ignited discussions about the treatment of women within political organizations and the pressures they face to conform to unethical demands. Many have questioned whether such practices are systemic within the NPP or other political parties.
The story has also drawn attention to the broader issue of gender inequality in politics, where women often face exploitation or marginalization. Several women’s advocacy groups have condemned the alleged incident, calling on political parties to prioritize the protection and empowerment of female members.
“This is unacceptable and goes against the values of any democratic institution,” said one activist. “We urge political organizations to investigate such claims and ensure that women are treated with respect and dignity.”
The NPP has yet to issue a formal statement addressing the allegations. However, some members have dismissed the claims as baseless, accusing detractors of attempting to tarnish the party’s reputation.
Despite the controversy, the NPP lady remains resolute in her call for accountability. “We must speak out against such behavior to protect others who may find themselves in similar situations,” she said.
As the story continues to unfold, it serves as a reminder of the need for transparency, accountability, and a commitment to ethical practices in all spheres of leadership. Political parties must ensure a safe and inclusive environment for all members, regardless of gender.
This incident has become a wake-up call for political organizations to address the systemic challenges women face and build a culture of respect and equality.

Mandamus application: The people’s will must stand
The National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentary candidate for Ablekuma North, Ewurabyna Aubynn, has conveyed her optimism regarding a favourable ruling from the High Court.
She asserted that no efforts by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) will succeed, expressing confidence that she will ultimately be recognized as the winner.
Ewurabyna Aubynn was declared the MP-elect for the constituency following a contentious situation at the Greater Accra Regional Collation Centre.
This declaration occurred on December 10, 2024, after the results from 219 out of 281 polling stations had been compiled.
Her comments follow the High Court’s adjournment to January 4, 2025, to deliver its ruling on the mandamus application filed by the NPP concerning the constituencies of Tema Central, Okaikwei Central, Techiman South, and Ablekuma North.
Speaking to journalists after the court hearing on January 1, the NDC parliamentary candidate for Ablekuma North said, “Delay is not denial, we were all in the courtroom, it’s been 6 hours of sitting. And no matter how the NPP decides to twist and turn issues, we are all privy to events.
“So, I have no doubt that the will of the people will still stand. Our counsel has been doing a brilliant job. I mean the whole team has been doing a brilliant job.”
This decision follows the court’s earlier dismissal of an objection by the NDC, which questioned the court’s jurisdiction to entertain the application.
Lawyers for the NPP argued that the Electoral Commission (EC) should be compelled to complete the collation of results in the affected constituencies.
Gary Nimako, leading the team of lawyers for the NPP candidates, stated that the EC had failed to complete the collation process between December 8, 2024, and January 1, 2025.

Mahama’s 24-hour economy will be a game changer for 2025
The Head Pastor of the Assemblies of God Church in Adaklu Kodzobi, Rev. Peter Etsey, has expressed optimism about the new year, citing the 24-Hour Economy Policy promised by the incoming government led by John Dramani Mahama as a potential game-changer for boosting productivity in Ghana.
The 24-Hour Economy Policy is a flagship programme proposed by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) during their campaign for the December 7, 2024, general election.
According to the NDC, the policy aims to enable the country’s economy to operate continuously, ensuring that businesses, institutions, and state agencies provide round-the-clock services to their customers.
Rev. Peter Etsey believes that Ghanaians, having endured significant challenges, will see transformative changes in their lives in 2025, particularly with the successful implementation of such a policy.
“We have gone through a lot in the previous years. But now that we have even changed government, I am expecting that the lives of people shall change this year. People have been crying, things are not well. But this year I am seeing the beginning of greater things.
“So things will change. People’s destinies will change. People’s lives will change for the better for those who are looking for a job. But because of the 24-hour economy, I am expecting that those who have been looking for a job for several years now will get their job. So things will be better this year,” he stated.

Desmond Ofei revamps Black Satellites scouting ahead of 2025 U20 AFCON
Black Satellites coach Desmond Ofei
Black Satellites coach Desmond Ofei has unveiled a revamped scouting strategy aimed at assembling a competitive squad for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Ivory Coast.
The Ghana U20 team secured their place in the tournament after finishing as runners-up in the WAFU Zone B Championship, marking a remarkable turnaround under Ofei’s leadership.
Ofei inherited a team that had failed to qualify for the previous edition of the U20 AFCON. However, his tenure has brought about a transformation, with the team notably winning gold at the 2023 African Games.
In an interview with 3Sports, Ofei emphasized the importance of expanding the scouting network to ensure that every eligible talent has an opportunity to represent Ghana.
“To build a competitive and well-rounded U20 national team, it is essential to cast a wide scouting net that encompasses domestic leagues, regional competitions, and international talent pools. Our strategy outlines a comprehensive plan to identify and invite top talent for observation,” Ofei stated.
Ofei’s strategy includes scouting players from the Ghana Premier League, Division One League, and RFA leagues, alongside those who excelled during the qualifiers. Players from the squad that clinched gold at the African Games will also be reassessed, while international talents will be integrated to create a balanced team.
“We will broaden the scouting base to track young players globally, ensuring that we identify the best talents capable of excelling at the continental and international levels,” Ofei explained.
The selection process will focus on five key attributes: technical ability, tactical awareness, physical attributes, mentality and character, and growth potential.
Ofei highlighted the critical role of partnerships with local clubs, academies, and overseas agents in identifying and nurturing talent.
“By utilizing this multi-faceted approach, we can ensure that the U20 national team is well-equipped with the best available talent, both domestically and abroad, to compete at the highest level,” he concluded.
The Black Satellites aim to replicate their 2021 U20 AFCON success and secure qualification for the FIFA U20 World Cup—a feat Ghana has not achieved since 2015.
The Black Satellites remain the only African side to have won the U20 World Cup, achieving the historic feat in 2009.
Sulemana Braimah Questions Credibility of National Honour Awards
Sulemana Braimah Questions Credibility of National Honour Awards
News Hub Creator13h
Renowned journalist Sulemana Braimah has sparked a fresh wave of debate over the credibility of Ghana’s National Honour Awards, criticizing the selection of some recipients. His comments, shared on social media, have resonated with many who feel the awards fail to reflect the values of merit and integrity. Braimah remarked that the inclusion of certain individuals undermines the prestige of the awards. He questioned whether the honorees were truly deserving, given the controversies surrounding some of them. His sharp critique has amplified public scrutiny over the selection process and the criteria used to determine eligibility.
The journalist’s remarks have fueled conversations on social media, with many expressing agreement. Critics argue that the awards risk becoming a platform for political favoritism rather than a celebration of genuine contributions to national development. One social media user commented, “These awards have lost their value. They reward the wrong people while sidelining true patriots.” Supporters of the awards, however, argue that recognition is based on diverse achievements and contributions, not necessarily on public perception. They call for a balanced perspective, noting that national development takes many forms and impacts.
Braimah’s critique has reignited calls for transparency and reform in the award process. Advocates for change suggest implementing clear and objective criteria, as well as involving a broad, non-partisan panel in the selection process. This controversy highlights a deeper issue: the need for institutions and honors to uphold high standards of integrity and accountability. As the debate continues, many hope it will spark meaningful changes to restore trust in Ghana’s national awards.

Probe into mysterious death of boy who went to church on Christmas Day and body found days later with injuries
Investigations have begun in Busia following the mysterious death of a Form Two student, whose body was discovered by neighbours with injuries.
Daniel Barasa, a brother to the deceased’s father, said there have been conflicting reports about what actually happened to the boy, adding that the first report they received was that the boy was bitten by a snake.
I see deaths of MPs, many by-elections in 2025
The founder of Reign House Chapel International, Prophet Eric Boahen, has prophesied the deaths of many Members of Parliament in 2025.
According to the man of God, many lawmakers will not even complete their first year in the 9th Parliament of the Fourth Republic.
Speaking in an interview with Fifi Pratt on Kingdom FM, Prophet Eric Boahen stated that only fervent prayers could avert these deaths.
“Let us pray for our parliamentarians. We need to offer fervent prayers for them. There will be many attacks on them, and we need to pray to God to avert this. There will be many vacant seats in Parliament. Numerous by-elections will be held in 2025 if we don’t pray for our lawmakers. We should beseech God to save and protect them; otherwise, we will lose many of them.
“I’m not saying this to boast. By the grace of God, the things I say come to pass. With all humility, I urge anyone whose relative is a Member of Parliament to pray for them. The attacks have already started in the spiritual realm. Many seats will be vacant, by-elections will be held, and new MPs will occupy those seats,” he said.
The 2024 Ghanaian general election took place on 7 December 2024 to elect Members of Parliament (MPs) to the 9th Parliament of the Fourth Republic.
There are a total of 276 constituencies in Ghana. The 9th Parliament is set to convene on 7 January 2025 to elect a Speaker and Deputy Speakers, as well as administer oaths to the Speaker and Members of Parliament.
One new constituency, Guan, was contested for the first time in this Parliament, bringing the total number of constituencies to 276.

CETAG declares indefinite strike effective January 2
The Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG), has announced its decision to embark on an indefinite strike effective Thursday, January 2, 2025.
The declaration follows an Emergency National Council meeting of the Colleges of Education Teachers Association held on Monday, December 30, 2024.
In a statement issued on December, 31, CETAG explained that this decision follows earlier notices of strike served on September 26, 2024, and December 23, 2024, of which the National Labour Commission (NLC) failed to address the concerns raised.
CETAG said this action has become necessary due to the government’s continuous violation of signed agreements and roadmaps on the outstanding compulsory arbitration award issued by the NLC on May 2, 2023.
“The National Council of CETAG wishes to state unequivocally that members of the union shall not under any circumstance return to the colleges to undertake any official duties including teaching, and supervision of project work and macro-teaching, until the last pesewa is paid into our accounts. This declaration of an indefinite strike action is in accordance with section 159 of the Labour Act, 2003 (Act 651).”

School Feeding Caterers confirm payment of arrears
National President of the School Feeding Caterers Association, Nana Amoh Otu Sekyi, has confirmed that caterers under the Ghana School Feeding Programme have begun receiving their outstanding third-term salaries.
This development comes after the Minister for Gender, Children, and Social Protection, Dakoa Newman made a promise to settle these payments.
In an interview with Citi News, Nana Amoh Otu Sekyi revealed that while some caterers have successfully accessed their funds, others are yet to do so due to bank holidays and limited access to banking services in rural areas.
“By the grace of god, they honoured their promise, they paid December 31, around 6:pm. Some of the caterers have been able to access the funds on January 1. Because some of the banks have their e-zwich machines outside.
“But others complained that they were not able to access it. Maybe by tomorrow [January 2], everybody will receive an alert. Not all of them have been able to access the account because today [January 1] is a holiday [bank holiday]. Some of them too are living in rural areas where they don’t have access to banks, until working days like January 2, up to Friday they will call to confirm receipt or otherwise.”
Meanwhile, the National President of the association has expressed optimism about their outstanding salaries from 2019 being settled.
“December 31, the chief accountant called me concerning that issue. I will be at the office on January 2, for us to talk about it. We are hoping that next week they will tell us something positive about the 2019 issue [arrears].”

Kwabena Kwabena reflects on ‘Aso’ legacy ahead of 20th anniversary celebration
Musician, Kwabena Kwabena
Kwabena Kwabena captivated the crowd at King Promise’s “Promiseland” concert, delivering an unforgettable performance of his iconic hit “Aso.”
The legendary highlife artist had the audience on their feet, singing along to the song that has stood the test of time.
As part of the evening’s celebrations, Kwabena Kwabena also shared the stage with King Promise, whose song “Favourite Story” from his “True to Self” album sampled the popular beat from “Aso.”
After his electrifying performance, Becky GH from Hitz FM caught up with Kwabena Kwabena for a brief interview monitored by MyNewGH, where the artist expressed his gratitude for the enduring love Ghanaians have shown toward the song.
He said, “I’m truly happy to see that Ghanaians still appreciate ‘Aso’ after all these years. It’s an honour to know that my music continues to resonate with so many people.”
Looking ahead, the musician revealed exciting plans for 2025, when he will celebrate the 20th anniversary of the track that helped solidify his place in Ghana’s music history. “We’re going to do something special for the 20th anniversary of ‘Aso.’
“Trust me, it’s going to be a celebration to remember,” Kwabena Kwabena promised. He also shared that the anniversary event would coincide with his annual Valentine’s Day show, a tradition that has become a staple for many fans.
Kwabena Kwabena was quick to acknowledge the rise of a new generation of artists, noting how artists like King Promise have drawn inspiration from his work.
“It’s amazing to see the younger artists like King Promise carry the torch. I see elements of my style in their music, and I’m proud to see how the genre continues to evolve.”
2025 has caused me a lot
A young man has been devastated after his shop at Kumasi-Tafo Mile 4, near the Hisense shop, was consumed by fire, reportedly caused by a fireworks display celebrating the New Year on January 1, 2025.
In a video shared on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, the roadside shop is seen engulfed in flames, leaving its contents reduced to ashes.
According to the victim, this tragedy marks a terrible start to the year.
In the video, the victim is heard lamenting that he had opened the shop less than a month before the unfortunate incident occurred.
“This year has caused me a lot. At about 2 a.m. yesterday [1st January], boys burnt my shop as they fired knockouts. My shop has been burnt to ashes less than a month after I opened it. Everything is completely destroyed. I am going to start life afresh.”
Ban on the importation of firecrackers
In 1999, Parliament adopted a Legislative Instrument (LI) prohibiting the importation of certain firecrackers and display shells.
The LI, “Export and Import (Prohibition of Importation), 1999,” conferred on the Minister of Trade the authority to ban the importation of firecrackers (knockouts), display shells, artillery shells, and ball and canister shells.
It took effect on Thursday, December 16, 1999.
Offenders were liable, upon summary conviction, to a fine not exceeding five million cedis [now GH₵500] or a term of imprisonment not exceeding one year, or both.
The LI, which resulted in heated and lengthy debates, was intended to give legal effect to an earlier Executive Instrument issued by the Ministry of Trade and Industry in July.
Injuries from firecrackers
Seventeen people reported sight-threatening injuries at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital in Accra following the misuse of firecrackers, popularly referred to as knockouts, during the Christmas celebrations. All received emergency treatment, though the majority would eventually lose sight in one or both eyes.
Dr. Stephen Akafo, Acting Head of the Ophthalmology Unit of the hospital, disclosed this in an interview. He explained that personnel from the unit often had to abandon regular cases to perform emergency surgeries on victims in a bid to save their eyesight. Unfortunately, most cases were severe, and the operations could not restore their sight.
Dr. Akafo cited a tragic case where a boy lost sight in both eyes after a bottle containing a lit firecracker exploded in his face. The firecracker had initially failed to explode, and as the boy bent over the bottle to investigate, it detonated.
He also mentioned the heartbreaking case of a two-year-old child who lost her sight when an unknown individual threw a firecracker into her face as her mother was feeding her.
A 17-year-old victim, David Antah, who lost sight in his right eye, recounted that he was buying food on Tuesday night when someone threw a firecracker into his face.
Dr. Akafo explained that the explosion of a firecracker near someone’s face is enough to rupture the eyeball. In such cases, the chances of restoring sight are minimal.
He urged the government to immediately enforce a ban on the use of firecrackers to prevent further harm.

The Founder and Leader of the Glorious Word Power Ministries, Rev. Isaac Owusu-Bempah, has advised Ghanaians against exerting pressure on President-elect John Mahama after he is sworn into office on January 7, 2025, to begin his work.
Speaking at his church during the December 31, 2024, Watchnight Service, the prophet urged Ghanaians to be patient with the new leader and give him the space and time to implement measures to restore Ghana to a path of development and prosperity.
“Our incoming President will be sworn in on January 7 to begin his work. I beg you to have patience with him. Let us not exert pressure on him. Things will improve, but it will take time. When you are resetting things, it requires patience. Let us allow him to press the right buttons to reset the nation,” Rev. Owusu-Bempah stated.
He added: “He has a good heart, deep love for Ghana, love for mankind, and humility. He has noble intentions for Ghana and will elevate the nation to a higher pedestal. We should be patient with him, and we will all witness how he will develop the country and improve life for all Ghanaians.”

Skin-to-Skin pandemic about to hit the world
Pastor Elvis Agyemang, the Convener of Alpha Hour and Founder of Grace Mountain Ministries, has prophesied the outbreak of another pandemic that could hit the world in 2025.
According to the respected man of God, this pandemic’s devastation will be significant unless fervent prayers are raised to prevent its occurrence.
Speaking at his church during the 31st December 2024 Watchnight Service, Pastor Elvis Agyemang revealed that the pandemic would spread rapidly through skin-to-skin contact.
“What the Lord showed me is that if we don’t take care, another pandemic is coming. The kind of sickness I saw that is about to hit the world involves the skin. Once an infected person touches you, you will also contract the disease.
“I am not a prophet, but I remember standing in church one Sunday evening and saying I see a sickness being created in a lab. Nobody took my words seriously. I was ignored until the outbreak of COVID-19. The Lord told me sorrow is coming, so present me to my people and tell them that the only safe haven is the one who came to carry the sorrow.”
Pastor Agyemang’s prophecy appears to be corroborated by the Founder and Leader of the Glorious Word Power Ministries, Rev. Isaac Owusu Bempah. He also prophesied the outbreak of a coronavirus-like disease.
Speaking to his congregation during the 31st December Watchnight Service, the controversial prophet stated that he saw in the spiritual realm numerous people worldwide being affected by this disease if prayers are not offered to avert it.
“Just like the coronavirus we experienced a few years back, if we don’t pray, we will face another deadly disease of a 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,” Rev. Owusu Bempah said.

Tinubu vows to take Nigeria to Promise Land
Despite the lamentations of economic hardship occasioned by the reforms introduced by his administration, President Bola Tinubu on Wednesday assured the citizenry that he will take Nigeria to the promised land.
The President said that he has the confidence, competence, determination and capability to ensure that he build a nation that the people would be proud of.
This is as he said that his administration is encouraged by the National Assembly’s support over the last 19 months and is determined to take Nigeria to the Promised Land.
The President spoke while receiving Vice President Kashim Shettima, the leadership of the National Assembly, and former principal officers of the National Assembly at his Oyinkan Abayomi Drive residence in Ikoyi, Lagos.
The New Year homage, led by Senate President Godswill Akpabio, preceded a similar visit by members of the Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF).
The President was quoted by his spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, as saying, “Nigerians are the heart of everything we are doing. We have come to serve. You have made my day by coming on this visit. Happy New Year. May God bless you and our country and give our nation more prosperity.

“Your commitment to value addition and bringing about the spirit of can do and must do is for all of us together.

We are determined, we are capable, and we are resolute, and we will be there. We will take Nigeria to that Promised Land with you,” President Tinubu said at the meeting.
Acknowledging the encouragement from the lawmakers, the President pledged to work harder, embrace intellectual inquisitiveness, and make courageous decisions for national development.
“We have a saying in Yoruba that it is only a courageous dog that will capture the animal in the bush,” he added.
Senate President Akpabio commended the President for his courage and commitment to reform and assured him that the National Assembly is firmly behind his administration.
“On this journey of restoration, transformation and rebuilding the nation, you are not alone. The National Assembly is with you and will stand by you,” he said.
Akpabio highlighted the positive economic outlook under the Tinubu administration, citing achievements such as oversubscription of Nigeria’s Eurobond, improvements in ease of doing business, and growing foreign investor confidence.
“We salute our men in uniform and commend you for your bold reforms. Investors remain interested in Nigeria because of your leadership, and we will continue to smile as the benefits materialise,” he added.
Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Tajudeen Abbas commended the President for his respect and support of the National Assembly.
He said many key figures in the administration, including the President, Vice President, Wife of the President, Chief of Staff to the President, Secretary to the Government of the Federation, and several ministers, were all former members of the National Assembly
”The National Assembly should consider itself lucky, and to God be the glory, Mr President, the National Assembly today is more united than ever.
”The National Assembly is more fulfilled than ever before because there is nothing we have ever knocked on your door to request for the National Assembly that you have not obliged.
”This is historic. This is commendable. We need to thank you for that. I also want to thank you for bringing more succour to the poor.
”Nigerians had more challenges at the beginning of 2023, but as the year ended, more food and prosperity started pouring in. We believe 2025 will be the ultimate year where every Nigerian will be proud of this administration, ” he said.

McDan Aviation calls for dialogue following its closure
The management of McDan Group of Companies says it is committed to a dialogue to resolve the issues leading to the shutdown of their terminal at the Kotoka International Airport, Accra.
“Nevertheless, we remain committed to engaging in constructive dialogue to achieve a favorable resolution” the company stated.
The private Aviation company also expressed its disappointment in the Ghana Airport Company Limited’s (GACL) decision to shut down its private jet terminal at the airport.
“McDan Aviation expresses its disappointment regarding the recent decision by the Ghana Airport Company Limited to deny access to our terminal,” the company said in a press statement issued following its shutdown by GACL.
On Monday, December 30, GACL shut down McDan’s terminal over an outstanding debt of $3 million.
The company acknowledged its financial responsibilities but stated that these issues had not been actively discussed.
McDan also confirmed that “last week, we made an additional payment with the plan to continue payments from January 2025.”
The statement, signed by McDan’s Chief Executive Officer, Kwaku Ampromfi, clarified that the company does not owe GACL the reported $3 million.
“It is important to note, however, that McDan Aviation does not owe GACL $3,000,000.00 for the terminal, as has been erroneously reported,” the statement read.
The company further explained that it is currently involved in a land litigation case, of which GACL is aware. McDan added that this issue had been communicated to GACL, with a request to suspend payments until the court case is resolved.
McDan Aviation Hub is the first and only freight company in Ghana to obtain an air carrier licence for chartered cargo flights. It is currently a general sales agent (GSA) for several airlines and holds a Fixed Base Operations (FBO) licence for private jet operations at Terminal 1 of Kotoka International Airport.

Deputy Minority Leader in Parliament, Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah
The Deputy Minority Leader in Parliament, Mr Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah, has expressed concern over some fraudulent accounts impersonating him on various social media platforms, particularly on Facebook.

Discussions concerning faith, introspection, and the various ways individuals discover meaning have been triggered by his tale. The man, who requested anonymity, stated that, like the majority of Ghanaians, he had always attended church on New Year’s Eve. Worship, prayers, and aspirations for the upcoming year are all part of church services around this time. But he made the decision to deviate from the custom this year. He clarified, “People expect me to be at church like everyone else.” “But this year, I needed a different kind of connection—one that wasn’t based on expectations or pressure.”
He frequently thought that going to church on December 31st was more of a ritual than a time for introspection. He acknowledged that although church provides a spiritual setting, the rites occasionally prevented him from concentrating on what he really wanted, which was clarity and serenity. Instead of attending church, he went to a neighborhood pub to think about his life in a less regimented environment—not to drink or party. “I wasn’t there for the noise or the drinks at the pub,” he remarked. “I wanted to have my own space to think while still being around people.” Seeing others have fun and laugh made me appreciate the little things we often take for granted.
He revealed that he felt free to reflect on the previous year and his goals for the future in a laid-back setting without feeling hurried or judged. His choice elicited conflicting responses. His honesty was respected by some of his friends and family, while others were distressed, believing he had given up his religion. He stated, “Church is great, but we all connect with God in different ways.” “I just needed something new this year.” He said, “What’s in your heart matters more than where you are.”

High Court dismisses NDC’s jurisdictional objection in mandamus case
File photo of court gavel
An Accra High Court has dismissed the National Democratic Congress’s (NDC) objection challenging the jurisdiction of the court to hear a mandamus application filed by the New Patriotic Party (NPP), according to a report by citinewsroom.com.
Justice Forson Agyapong, presiding over the case, ruled that the matter was not an election petition, as argued by the NDC’s counsel, Godwin Tameklo.
He emphasised that the mandamus application does not fall within the framework of challenging the validity of election results under the Representation of People Law, PNDCL 284.
The NDC had argued that the application sought to invalidate election results through a procedure other than the prescribed election petition.
The report noted that Godwin Tameklo asserted that sections 16 and 20 of PNDCL 284 mandate that election results can only be contested via a petition, and that any reliance on judicial review, such as a writ of mandamus, circumvented the evidence-based approach outlined in the law.
He further argued that these statutory provisions should supersede Order 54 of C.I. 47, which allows judicial review applications.
The ongoing legal battle centers on disputed results in constituencies such as Okaikwei Central, Ablekuma North, and Tema Central.
The Supreme Court had earlier overturned a High Court ruling that favored the NPP, directing the EC to re-collate results in constituencies where initial declarations were made in favor of the NDC.
Following the re-collation, the EC declared NPP candidates as winners in seven constituencies, sparking the current controversy.
The application seeks to compel the Electoral Commission (EC) to re-collate results in contentious constituencies.

Black Stars’ 2024 performance in retrospect
The prophecy comes after a challenging period for Ghana’s senior men’s football team.
Their 2024 campaign was marred by poor performances, managing only two victories throughout the year, per ESPN.
The team’s struggles were highlighted by their failure to secure a spot in the 2025 African Cup of Nations (AFCON).
Finishing at the bottom of their qualifying group, they failed to register a single win and netted just three goals across the series.
2026 World Cup hopes still alive
Despite these setbacks, the Black Stars’ performances in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers have kept their hopes alive.
Ghana’s two victories last year came in this campaign, securing wins against Mali and the Central African Republic.

“It Is Not The Duty Of This Court To Make A Determination On Who Won An Election
According to MyJoyOnline, the legal battle over the declaration of Ebi Bright as the winner of the Tema Central parliamentary election continues to unfold, with both the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) presenting their cases in court on Wednesday, January 1, 2025.
The case, which hinges on allegations of irregularities and incomplete collation of results, saw spirited arguments from both legal teams. Counsel for the NDC, Godwin Tameklo, asserted that the declaration of Ebi Bright as the winner was both valid and lawful. He argued that even the NPP’s affidavit acknowledged that a declaration was made, despite claims that results from two polling stations were excluded.
Tameklo referred to a letter written by one of the NPP applicants, Charles Forson, urging the Electoral Commission (EC) to instruct the returning officer to properly collate and declare results. He emphasized that the court’s role is not to determine the winner of an election but to assess whether proper legal processes were followed.
“It is not the duty of this court to make a determination on who won an election. They are inviting the court onto a slippery slope,” Tameklo said. He further argued that once results have been declared, dissatisfied parties cannot demand re-collation, questioning the EC’s suggestion that results could be revisited after a formal declaration.
In contrast, NPP counsel Gary Nimako Marfo maintained that the collation process was incomplete due to alleged acts of intimidation and irregularities. Marfo presented a video in court purportedly showing an unauthorized individual declaring the election results. According to Marfo, the man in the video was not the official returning officer, Mr. Kwesi Brobbey.
The video also featured NDC Deputy National Communications Officer Malik Basintale stating, “Our issue is not with the police, our issue is with the EC Officer. We will bring him out to declare Ebi Bright, whether he likes it or not. If the NPP does not like it, they can go to court.”
Marfo argued that such incidents undermine electoral integrity and set a dangerous precedent. “If this issue is not properly addressed, it could open the door for unauthorized individuals to manipulate election outcomes at collation centers,” he warned.
On its part, the Electoral Commission, represented by counsel Justin Amenuvor, called on the court to issue clear directives to allow the EC to complete the collation process in accordance with Constitutional Instrument (C.I 127).
Amenuvor stressed the importance of adhering strictly to electoral guidelines, warning of the potential consequences if the court failed to intervene. “If this court does not grant the necessary orders for the EC to finalize the collation process under the conditions outlined by law, it will set a troubling precedent for our democracy,” he said.
NHIA refutes claims of ongoing recruitment activities

Fire guts ECG cables at Tema
By Laudia Sawer
Tema, Jan. 01, GNA- A fire on December 31, 2024, gutted some major cables of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) running behind the Lube Oil Company in Tema.
The fire, which was reportedly seen around 17:00 hours on the last day of 2024, totally burnt down the cables.
Ms. Sakyiwaa Mensah, the Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the ECG Tema Region, told the Ghana News Agency (GNA) that the cables would need to be replaced as they were unable to salvage any.
Ms. Mensah added that the incident caused a temporary power cut to areas in Tema Manhean, such as Adjetey Ansah, the Naval Quarters, Aunty Kate, Leonardo, and Bankuman.
“Some of the areas unfortunately had their power cut unresolved till the following day. However, as of the morning of Wednesday, January 1, 2025, all affected customers had their power supply restored.”
She commended the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) for their timely intervention in controlling the fire from spreading, adding, however that the cause of the fire was currently unknown.
Ms. Mensah indicated that the extent of damage was being assessed, making it difficult to ascertain the cost of damage.
She said, however that “It will definitely be an appreciable cost as the damage is major.”
She apologised to the affected customers who had no power to usher in the new year due to the fire incident.
The PRO urged the public to be careful with how they handle open fire, especially in the dry season, reminding them that bushes could easily catch fire and end up causing massive damage to property and affecting businesses.
