Amanokrom ofie market draws big crowds
Hundreds showed up at Amanokrom Community Centre Park last Saturday morning. The crowd packed into the Eastern Region's Akuapem North Constituency for the first-ever "Ofie Market." Local MP Samuel Kwabena Awuku transformed the quiet community space into a lively marketplace buzzing with farmers, vendors, and shoppers from near and far. The March 29, 2025, market day tackled big farm problems head-on. Farmers finally sold fresh organic food at fair prices without middlemen taking cuts. Awuku created this market back during his 2024 election campaign when he heard about massive food spoilage issues. He promised farmers they'd have direct access to buyers, cutting waste and boosting profits. This market brings together over 500 farmers...
Mahama to scrap illegal builds on waterways and wetlands
President Mahama just promised big changes regarding the water problems in Ghana. During his talk at Black Star Square for Eid-ul-Fitr 2025, he made it clear that anyone building on wetlands needs to watch out. He plans to tear down every single building that blocks waterways across the country. The rainy season starts soon, yet floods already happen because buildings block rivers. The President looked really upset about how many people break building rules. He talked about how these illegal buildings make flooding way worse every year. Ghana faces these same flood problems year after year because rivers can't flow where they should. Many houses end up underwater because some builders put profits ahead of safety. Mahama directly...
Mahama takes a stand against rogue building projects
President Mahama came out swinging against people who build houses where they shouldn't. He talked tough at Black Star Square during this year's Eid-ul-Fitr event, making it clear he plans to knock down any buildings put up illegally on wetlands or waterways. The rainy season approaches fast, bringing early floods because construction has blocked rivers from flowing naturally. These waters have nowhere to go except backward, causing widespread damage. The President pointed fingers not just at random builders but also called out certain chiefs who help sell protected Ramsar sites to developers. He made his position crystal clear - this practice must end immediately. Mahama promised decisive action against these unauthorized buildings...
Who Should Announce Veep Health Status
Samuel Koku Anyidoho from the National Democratic Congress party just jumped into a hot debate about who should tell the public when Vice President Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang gets sick. The Vice President fell ill last Friday, March 29, after her workday ended. Doctors at the University of Ghana Medical Centre took her in right away. Felix Kwakye Ofosu signed the official notice as Minister of State for Government Communications and Presidential Spokesperson. The notice said doctors recommended the Vice President travel overseas for extra medical care. Many people complained that Nana Ama Pratt should have signed this notice instead since she works as the Vice President's official Spokesperson. Anyidoho stood up for Kwakye Ofosu on...
New awards for integrity and calling out low standards
Parliament Speaker Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin launched a brand new award program to promote honesty and hold everyone accountable. He thinks this plan will create a big movement where people all over the country look for and reward honest actions. When he spoke to Parliament, Bagbin said the National Integrity Award would celebrate anyone who acts ethically, stays transparent, and works against corruption. He aims to spark a nationwide push where everyone sees honest behavior as something they want and reward for. The Speaker also devised another award called the National Vulture Award. This one works differently—it calls out and shames those who act with little integrity. As Bagbin put it, they'll honor honest people with the...

ASUS ROG Ryuo IV short and standard tube water cooling
ASUS is shaking things up with its ROG Ryuo IV all-in-one CPU water cooler, dropping two killer versions that'll make PC builders do a double-take. They've got a short-tube model called the ROG Ryuo IV SLC 360 ARGB that slashes the cooling tube length to just 200mm - basically half what you'd see in most liquid coolers. This compact design means it'll squeeze into tighter computer cases like a champ. Measuring 394mm long, 140mm wide, and 32mm thick, the cooler has a trick up its sleeve: a side-outlet tube design that makes it feel more like a 420mm radiator.
