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.

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,...

On Wednesday, August 6, 2025, Ghana was plunged into mourning following the tragic deaths of two esteemed government officials—Defence Minister Dr. Edward Omane Boamah and Environment Minister Dr. Ibrahim Murtala Muhammed—in a military helicopter crash near Adansi Sikaman in the Ashanti Region. The Ghana Armed Forces confirmed that the Z-9 military helicopter, carrying eight individuals including the two ministers, lost contact shortly after departing from Accra en route to Obuasi. The aircraft was also transporting a presidential staffer, Samuel Sarpong, and members of the ministers’ security detail. Emergency response teams were dispatched to the crash site, but the wreckage revealed the devastating loss of all onboard. Chief of Staff Julius Debrah officially announced the deaths, describing the incident as a national tragedy. In honor of the deceased, all national flags are to fly at half-mast. Remembering the Fallen Leaders:  1. Dr Edward Omane Boamah - Minister for Defence 2. ...

In a world that often expects men to be strong, stoic, and emotionally invincible, many young men silently wrestle with battles they cannot easily speak about. Behind every confident smile and composed posture lies the untold stories of pressure, fear, disappointment, and emotional exhaustion. Today, more young men are experiencing depression, anxiety, and identity crises than ever before. Yet, society’s definition of masculinity has made it difficult for them to express vulnerability. They are taught to "man up," to suppress their emotions, and to avoid seeking help — even when they are breaking inside. The pressures are real: the burden of expectations, job insecurity, failed relationships, financial struggles, social comparison, and the internal fear of not being enough. These battles are fought silently — in bedrooms, behind closed doors, and deep within their hearts. But strength isn’t always in silence. It’s in speaking up, reaching out, and allowing oneself to heal. As...

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...
