Reverend Winfred Korku Domi from the Evangelical Presbyterian Church of Ghana told his congregation at the SSNIT Flats district in Ho that believers need to reject the devil's attempts to rob them of their joy. The pastor, who also works as an assistant headmaster at Mawuli Senior High School, delivered the message during an anniversary celebration at the Kekeli congregation.
Domi emphasized that struggles like being broke or dealing with health problems shouldn't kill people's ability to feel blessed. He pointed out that most believers forget God hasn't abandoned them when times get rough, and total surrender matters more than family background when it comes to restoration.
The reverend pushed attendees to maintain their faith even...
Dr Joseph Siaw Agyepong from Jospong Group told reporters that African countries need to stop treating garbage like a problem and start seeing it as a cash machine that could solve youth unemployment across the continent. The executive chairman said his company is pushing into markets all over Africa with waste-to-energy tech and management systems that turn trash into power while cutting emissions, and he wants governments to back local business leaders instead of politicians when it comes to driving this stuff forward.
Agyepong claims his group already runs operations in multiple African nations where they're building circular economy models and creating jobs through scalable sanitation infrastructure. He's calling for regional...
Ghana's military shot down rumors about UN peacekeeping pay after social media went wild, claiming soldiers get $300 daily. Captain Veronica Adzo Arhin from the Armed Forces told reporters the real number is $46 per day per soldier, and the government hands $35 straight to troops while keeping $11 for training, internet access, and morale stuff at deployment sites.
The military says that the extra chunk covers pre-deployment training at Bundase, holiday celebrations for battalions abroad, and visits from Ghana to check on personnel. Arhin called out whoever started the $300 rumor for trying to turn soldiers against their commanders, and she warned journalists that spreading this garbage hurts national security.

MTN Ghana threw its yearly Christmas event at the Accra International Conference Centre, and people showed up for the worship vibes and free stuff. The telecom company got retired cop Effia Tenge, soccer coach Prosper Nartey Ogum, broadcaster Anita Ekua Akuffo, and the Nungua Mantse to do scripture readings while DWP Academy handled the dancing.
CEO Stephen Blewett talked about how the company tries to focus on what customers actually want, and he mentioned some environmental programs they have going. The real action happened when attendees started finding Black Stars jerseys taped under their seats, and some lucky folks walked out with iPhone 17s, Google Pixels, Samsung Galaxy phones, smartwatches, and headphones after doing Christmas...
A guy got beaten to death in Lanja after people accused him of stealing chickens, and his family wants someone held accountable. The victim's uncle, Yakubu Mohammed, said his nephew went out one day and never came back. Turns out the 20-year-old tried selling some birds at Bakpaba market, got recognized by the owners, and ran off. Later that night, a group jumped him and beat him so badly that he died at Yendi Hospital.
Police grabbed one suspect already. The attacker's relatives admitted something bad went down, but are trying to spin it like the kid fell off a motorcycle while being transported. They're asking for forgiveness since everyone lives in the same area, but the victim's family isn't buying it and wants justice. Assembly...
Most of the local party coordinators in Sissala East just threw their weight behind Bawumia for the NPP presidential nomination. The former VP got backing from 18 out of 21 electoral area coordinators, who apparently like how competent and humble he seems.
The party's picking its candidate at the end of January next year. Bawumia's going up against four other people, which means Kennedy Agyapong, Bryan Acheampong, Yaw Osei Adutwum, and Kwabena Agyapong are all in the race.
Ghana's military boss, Lieutenant General William Agyapong, said the government plans to build 2,000 homes for troops across the country. The defense chief announced that 700 of these will go up around Accra at five different bases. He mentioned that if everything works out, another 8,000 units could get built over the next five years.
Agyapong also talked about plans to upgrade military gear with helicopters, jets, patrol boats, armored vehicles, weapons, and protective equipment. He pushed back against online rumors claiming Ghana doesn't properly pay peacekeepers despite getting UN funding, calling the whole thing misinformation that people shouldn't believe.
NPP elder Hackman Owusu-Agyemang said goodbye to Edward Kofi Omane Boamah and called the guy brilliant and super committed, even though they ended up on opposite sides of politics. The former defense minister died when a Ghana Air Force chopper went down back in August, and the crash killed eight people total.
Owusu-Agyemang knew Boamah as a sharp dude who put everything into his work before they split onto different political teams. He said the country lost someone who had way more to give, and Ghana needs people to chill with the partisan fighting.
Funeral proceedings in Koforidua got canceled because the weather rolled in with heavy rain and strong winds that made it unsafe to continue.
The PTA at Bawku Senior High School dropped off a Nissan Navara pickup and 400 desks, but chairman Abugri Haruna warned kids that breaking stuff means paying out of pocket. The school board backed his stance that students caught wrecking property face consequences.
Headmaster Bukari Abugbilla said the desks solve overcrowding problems and help students concentrate better during class. The PTA has already built staff apartments, fixed bathrooms, bought bus tires, and installed air conditioners in the computer lab over the past couple of years.
Haruna promised the group would keep helping out to make sure teachers and students have decent facilities to work with.
