Nana Ama McBrown recently explained that her marriage to Maxwell Mensah ended because both people felt completely drained. During a sit-down on a TV3 program in Accra, the media star mentioned that walking away from the relationship was a joint choice. She claimed that the last couple of years involved a major personal overhaul where she focused on her well-being and professional path. The actress insisted that a split does not ruin a person, and she feels more powerful than ever. Her daughter, Maxine, remains a priority for both sides as they navigate this transition.
The celebrity noted that her relatives and her former in-laws still get along well despite the breakup. She described the situation as a mature move where everyone...
Bryte Ashong-Katai recently shut down claims that Black Sherif uses bots to boost his numbers, insisting his massive stats are totally legit. Speaking on a program with a host named Prudent, the media personality argued that the artist has naturally captured the global ear. This defense comes after the musician dominated charts for years by mixing genres like hip-hop and highlife. His recent project, titled IRON BOY, has been crushing it, especially with hits like Sacrifice and Soma Obi taking over. The pundit mentioned that the rapper has earned his spot through actual effort, rather than cheating the system.
The analyst noted that heavy hitters like Burna Boy and Odumodublvck have worked with the star, which proves he has real...
Another Ghanaian university is getting a name change after parliament passed a bill. The Simon Diedong Dombo University of Business and Integrated Development Studies is dropping the historical figure's name. It will now just be called the University of Business and Integrated Development Studies, or UBIDS, located in Wa, up in the Upper West Region.
The government's reasoning is all about branding and perception. They think the shorter, more generic name will make the place more attractive. The idea is to pull in more students, secure better funding, and get alumni and international partners more interested. Officials believe this renames positions the school better on a global scale, helping it compete for foreign students and...
The Ghana police just busted three people for pretending to be the country's top politicians online. The Cyber Vetting and Enforcement Team arrested the group for impersonating the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, and the Inspector General of Police, Christian Tetteh Yohuno. The suspects are identified as Judith Soku, Gideon Awudi, and Edem Soku.
The crew was not just roleplaying. They are accused of using fake social media profiles of those officials to scam people. Their operations were based in the Volta Region, with arrests happening in Sogakope and Dabala after a longer investigation around Sogakope, Dzodze, and Penyi. Beyond the political impersonation, they allegedly ran various other fraud schemes. These included mobile...
Seventy-seven deaf students just threw down at a Taekwondo tournament in Akuapem Mampong. The event was the second Chung Do Kwan and Deaf Empowerment Open Championship. It pulled kids from two schools, the Koforidua School for the Deaf and Individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, and the local Akuapem Mampong Demonstration School for the Deaf. There were forty four girls and thirty three boys competing.
The whole point was to use martial arts to fight isolation and abuse against deaf people, with a special focus on girls. They did all the standard Taekwondo stuff. That means board breaking, which they call Gyeokpa, sparring or Kyorugi, and forms displays known as Poomsae. Esther Asomaning from the Mampong school...
Cops in the Eastern Region just bagged three guys and a pile of drugs and ammo. This was in Kwahu Nkwatia, a coordinated raid based on tips targeting drug spots and hideouts. They picked up two suspects, Kwame Asomani and Kwasi Dwamena, at a place near the Nkwatia SDA School with a bunch of dried leaves they think are weed. Earlier, over in the Kwayeano area, they found forty-six wraps of the same suspicious plant material.
A third dude got caught separately. That is Kwadwo Ofori, arrested in Aduamoah for having ten rounds of BB gun ammunition with no permit. All three are sitting in a cell right now while the police figure everything out. The seized stuff is locked up for testing. The Eastern North Regional Police Command says the...
So Ghana's parliament just finally got around to fixing a university name that was pissing everyone off. They passed a bill to rename the C.K. Tedam University of Technology and Applied Sciences. It is now just the University of Technology and Applied Sciences, Navrongo. The whole thing is up in the Upper East Region.
The reason for the change was pretty straightforward. Local chiefs and community bigwigs thought the old name felt wrong, like it was cutting people out or causing drama. They complained to the Ministry of Education about it being divisive. The government's official line is that the new name is more inclusive, helps with national unity, and just sounds more like a normal university you would find anywhere else in the...
Got a real-life video game boss getting locked up over in Ghana. A court in Sefwi Bodi, that's in the Western North Region, tossed a guy named Victor Biney in a cell. They call him Abeiku around Juaboso. This dude is not your average thief. He apparently ran a whole side hustle as a spiritualist, selling magic charms and what he called black powers. His sales pitch was that his clients would become bulletproof, immune to gunshots and machete swings.
This arrest went down after cops spent weeks digging into a nasty robbery at a mining site in Sefwi Antobia. They connected Biney to that one and a bunch of other heists in Juaboso. One of those was a brazen daytime hit on a wholesale shop where someone got killed, and a ton of cash was...
A major Ghanaian university denied any role in a national service scandal. The Akenten Appiah Menka University of Skills Training and Entrepreneurial Development stated that claims about its involvement are wrong. The school said it only provided a list of final year students to the National Service Authority, following the exact guidelines given in April. Officials requested institutions to upload eligible student data using a specific template.
The university explained that a verification team from the service authority visited its campus earlier this month. That group included the Deputy Director General and the Head of IT. After checking the portal data, they reportedly found no problems with the submission. However, recent media...
