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...

It was all fun until I thought she was gone in her sleep. First and last sleepover!

-

A lady came to sleep over. I’ve known her for almost five months now. We started dating after about a month of meeting and she has actually visited me about five times already but yesterday, we agreed that she slept over because she wouldn’t go anywhere today. 

As usual, we had sezz - she’s my girlfriend so of course. 

We ate and while watching a movie, we both slept off. I woke up around 2:19 am. to put the laptop off and go to bed. Then it dawned on me, “what if this lady doesn’t wake up tomorrow?” I was just having random thoughts cuz I’m only 26, and this is the first time I’ve had a room of my own. I rented February this year and last night is equally the first time a woman slept over. 

While these thoughts ran through my mind, I decided to wake this girl up just to see if she’s still ok. I wasn’t even going to ask her anything, I was just going to say she should sleep well. 

Bro Kay, when I turned on the light, she had opened her mouth wide and her eyes weren’t closed well enough and saliva was dripping. It looked scary so I fearfully shouted her name but she wouldn’t even wake up. I looked at her stomach and it was like she wasn’t breathing. 

I shook and shouted her name about three times but she was silent. Just when I wanted to scream louder, she opened her eyes and looked at me someway. I’d tears in my eyes already. 

I woke her up and asked her to sleep well. I couldn’t sleep again so I packed her things and woke her up to leave around 5am.

I don’t know but, this has made me decided not to ever make another woman sleep over my place again. I really got scared. What would I have done?😬 maybe cuz it’s my first time but I don’t think it’s healthy. Hope I’m not overthinking?

Help a brother.

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...
