There’s Meaning in the Mess, Trust God’s Bigger Plan

Genesis 50:20 (KJV): “But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.” Life itself is not the most recognizable logical thing. The suffering, the deceiving, and the misunderstanding, it all seems fruitless when you are in the thick of it all. However, as was mentioned in the story of Joseph, there usually is divine purpose even in the most sorrowful of time. Joseph experienced a lot of disappointments in life -he was sold by his brothers, thrown in prison and forgotten. However, each step he took put him in an advantage why the nations would look troubled upon famine as a savior. God turned the evil people meant to do onto the good. Like Joseph you might be undergoing a series of challenges that do not make sense to you. God looks beyond this present moment of you. He takes even what is broken in our lives and he writes beautiful stories. You do not now see how it will work--but believe this, God is...

Disappointment in the Air. Breman Asikuma SHS Missed Out on NSMQ National Slot After Fierce Regional Contest

Breman Asikuma SHS Misses Out on NSMQ National Slot After Fierce Regional Contest
The journey to the 2025 National Science and Maths Quiz (NSMQ) came to a heartbreaking end for Breman Asikuma Senior High School (BASS) after a tough regional qualifier contest held at the University of Cape Coast.

BASS faced strong competition from Aggrey Memorial SHS, Mozano SHS, and Swedru School of Business in a four-round battle of wits, speed, and scientific knowledge.

The contest started on a promising note for BASS, ending Round One tied with Aggrey Memorial SHS at 18 points each, a sign of a potentially tight race. However, as the contest progressed, Aggrey Memorial gradually pulled away, establishing dominance in the subsequent rounds.

At the end of Round Two, BASS trailed Aggrey with a 10-point difference (Aggrey: 35, BASS: 25). Despite valiant efforts to regain momentum, the team from Breman Asikuma couldn’t close the gap. Round Three saw BASS at 34 points while Aggrey stretched further ahead to 50 points.
The final scores sealed the fate of the contest:

* Aggrey Memorial SHS – 54

* Breman Asikuma SHS – 34

* Swedru School of Business – 22

* Mozano SHS – 18

Though the results didn’t go in BASS’s favor, the team showed great promise, resilience, and dedication throughout their preparation and during the contest itself. Their earlier performances in trial contests had boosted hope and belief in a possible national qualification.

Speaking after the contest, a team representative expressed gratitude to the school's staff, old students, and fans for their unwavering support.

“It’s not the result we hoped for, but we gave it our all. We’ve learned a lot and we’ll come back stronger next year.”

As the curtain closes on this year’s NSMQ campaign for Breman Asikuma SHS, the focus now shifts to rebuilding and preparing for the next opportunity. With the determination shown by this year's squad, there's every reason to believe that BASS will bounce back stronger in 2026.

Tragedy Strikes Agona Abodom: Festival Turns Deadly Amid Renewed Chieftaincy Dispute

What was meant to be a peaceful and joyous celebration in Agona Abodom has turned into a community-wide tragedy. The town, located in the Agona West Municipality of Ghana's Central Region, was plunged into chaos after violent clashes erupted during a traditional festival, leaving three people dead and many others seriously injured. According to reports, the violence stems from a deep-rooted chieftaincy dispute that has plagued the community for more than four decades. Though tensions had appeared to ease following the installation of Nana Osamdade Obrempong XI earlier this year, recent events suggest the conflict is far from over. The Attack: As traditional leaders and residents gathered to celebrate the festival, an opposing faction allegedly hired land guards to violently disrupt the occasion. Eyewitnesses say the assailants stormed the chief’s palace, damaging vehicles, tables, chairs, and other property before clashing with residents. “It was terrifying. We didn’t expect viole...

Cocoa Sacks and Cameras: When Dignity Died with the Dead

Image
In the annals of national tragedy, August 6th, 2025, will be remembered not only for the helicopter crash that claimed the lives of eight distinguished sons of Ghana, but for something far more disgraceful the stripping away of their dignity in death. Yes, a nation mourns. Yes, grief hangs thick in the air. But how did we become so numb to reverence, so desensitised to human worth, that we thought it appropriate, no, necessary to broadcast their remains live, and even more horrifying, to show their noble bodies shoved into cocoa sacks? Cocoa sacks? For the defenders of the realm? For the leaders, the trailblazers, the men who once wore the nation’s badge with pride? This is not only a tragedy of aircraft or altitude, but of attitude. The accident was sudden. The heartbreak, unimaginable. The silence of their departure, deafening. But what followed was even more deafening; the clatter of camera shutters, the relentless clicking of phones, the livestreams of agony, the footage of bodies,...

What started as a vibrant, joyous celebration in the town of Agona Abodom took a heartbreaking turn when clashes broke out between rival factions during the annual festival. The event, known for bringing together families, friends, and communities in a colorful display of culture and unity, ended in violence, panic, and widespread concern. The festival had begun peacefully, with traditional performances, music, and a strong sense of pride among attendees. Crowds filled the streets, dancing and sharing in the excitement. However, beneath the surface, tensions between opposing groups had been quietly building — and by afternoon, those tensions erupted into open confrontation. Captured in Real Time Photos and videos from the scene (included below) show the stark contrast: smiling faces in the morning, then fear, confusion, and chaos as the day wore on. Screams replaced songs, and what was once a celebration quickly became a scene of people fleeing, shouting, and trying to avoid danger. Ey...
