Following a viral video posted yesterday exposing the poor state of the Kojokrom road and the heavy traffic it caused, the Mayor of the Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolitan Assembly (STMA), Lawyer FF Faidoo, has moved quickly to tackle the problem. This morning, under the Mayor’s instructions, the Department of Urban Roads began temporary reshaping works on the affected section. The works involve dredging, grading, leveling, and filling major potholes to improve traffic flow and ease delays for commuters and residents. The Mayor personally visited the site to oversee the emergency intervention, stressing that while this is only a short-term fix, a permanent reconstruction is already being planned in collaboration with the Ministry of Roads and Highways. He also expressed gratitude to the CEO of JustMoh Company for supporting the effort by supplying a 0-40 stone base to fill damaged portions of the road.

Grace After the Storm: A Reflection on 1 Peter 5:10

-

 _"But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you."_ – 1 Peter 5:10

Life’s journey is not without trials. There are seasons of pain, uncertainty, and spiritual dryness. But 1 Peter 5:10 reminds us of a powerful truth: God never wastes our suffering. In fact, He uses it as a tool for transformation, not punishment.

The God of All Grace

Grace is more than unmerited favor—it is God’s divine empowerment to endure, grow, and overcome. Peter describes God as “the God of all grace,” meaning His grace covers every aspect of our lives—our past failures, our present struggles, and our future uncertainties.

A Purpose Behind the Pain

Peter doesn’t deny suffering. He acknowledges it: _“after that ye have suffered a while…”_ The suffering is temporary, but the outcome is eternal. God allows seasons of challenge to shape us into stronger, wiser, and more Christ-like individuals.

What God Will Do
The verse outlines four promises that follow the period of suffering: 

1. Make you perfect – God matures us, completing what was lacking in our character.

2. Stablish you – He gives us a firm foundation in faith.

3. Strengthen you – He empowers us with spiritual and emotional strength.

4. Settle you – God brings peace, stability, and rest to our lives.

Our Call to Eternal Glory

The end goal of God’s work in us isn’t just survival—it’s eternal glory in Christ Jesus. Everything we endure is preparing us for something far greater than we can imagine.

Conclusion

If you’re going through a difficult season, take heart. God is not distant. His grace is working behind the scenes—shaping, strengthening, and settling you for His glory. The suffering will pass, but the growth it produces will remain forever.

Hold on. Grace is at work.

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...
