In a bold and decisive move, President John Dramani Mahama has ordered the immediate termination of all contracts between the Government of Ghana and Strategic Mobilisation Ghana Limited (SML).
BREAKING NEWS: President Mahama Terminates SML Contract 2
This follows the conclusion of a far-reaching investigation by the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) into the company’s dealings with the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA). According to inside sources, the OSP’s report uncovered serious procurement breaches, irregularities, and possible acts of corruption within the controversial SML-GRA revenue assurance contracts.
The Office of the Special Prosecutor has announced plans to press criminal charges by the end of November 2025 against several high-profile figures who allegedly played roles in the deal.
Those expected to face prosecution include:
Ken Ofori-Atta, Former Minister of Finance Rev. Dr. Ammishaddai Owusu-Amoah, Current GRA Commissioner-General Emmanuel Kofi Nti, Former GRA Commissioner-General Isaac Crentsil, GRA Official Kwadwo Damoa, GRA Official Ernest Akore, Former Technical Advisor at the Ministry of Finance
The termination marks one of President Mahama’s strongest anti-corruption actions since assuming office, signaling his administration’s readiness to restore accountability and transparency in public financial management.
Government officials have stated that further audits will be conducted to recover all funds misappropriated through the SML contracts and to prevent similar incidents in future procurement processes.
The public now awaits the OSP’s next steps as the nation braces for what could become one of the biggest corruption trials in Ghana’s recent history.
In a major move within Ghana’s entertainment industry, three of the country’s most popular content creators — Mr. Amprah, Ahafo Stuba, and Ziggiboot — have officially signed a five-year management deal worth over $500,000.

The new management emphasized that the creators will maintain full creative freedom, but consistency and hard work remain central expectations under the contract.
Known for their hilarious skits, creative storytelling, and strong fan engagement, the trio has built a massive digital following across platforms like TikTok, YouTube, and Facebook. Their decision to remain together under the same creative vision highlights their strong bond and proven chemistry in content creation.
With this deal, Mr. Amprah, Ahafo Stuba, and Ziggiboot are poised to scale even greater heights in the entertainment world, setting new standards for content creators in Ghana and beyond.
Ghanaian forward Antoine Semenyo continues to make headlines as one of the top six most valuable African footballers in 2025 — and rightly so. From humble beginnings in London to becoming one of the Premier League’s most dynamic forwards, Semenyo’s story is one of perseverance, discipline, and hard-earned success.
A Meteoric Rise
Semenyo’s football journey began in the lower tiers of English football, where his early raw talent caught the eye of scouts. After proving himself at Bristol City, he earned a transfer to AFC Bournemouth in January 2023 for around £10 million. What followed was a steady, relentless progression that has seen his market value soar to an estimated €55 million, placing him among Africa’s elite stars, alongside players like Victor Osimhen, Mohammed Kudus, and Mohamed Salah.
In the ongoing Premier League season, Semenyo has been electric — recording six goals and three assists in just his first seven league matches. His combination of pace, power, and intelligence in front of goal has made him a nightmare for defenders and a standout performer for Bournemouth.
Why He Deserves More Recognition
Many analysts believe Semenyo’s current valuation doesn’t fully reflect his importance to both club and country. His work rate, humility, and growth mindset have become hallmarks of his game. Bournemouth’s head coach recently described him as “a player who learns fast and gives everything for the badge.”
His market value, as listed by Transfermarkt, might tell one story — but Bournemouth’s valuation tells another. Reports from English tabloids suggest that the club has rejected offers exceeding £50 million, with Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur monitoring his progress closely. Internally, Bournemouth is said to have set his release clause at £70–£75 million, a testament to just how crucial he has become to their ambitions.
Semenyo’s Impact Beyond the Pitch
For Ghana, Antoine Semenyo represents a new generation of Black Stars — technically sharp, mentally tough, and globally competitive. His performance during Ghana’s international fixtures, particularly in crucial qualifiers, has earned him respect from fans and coaches alike. He embodies the confidence that modern Ghanaian players bring to the world stage: disciplined yet daring.

His rise also offers inspiration for African youth — proof that with persistence, self-belief, and faith, a player can move from the lower leagues to Premier League stardom.
Eyes on the Future
Semenyo’s story is far from complete. With major tournaments like AFCON 2026 and World Cup qualifiers ahead, Ghana’s hopes will, in many ways, rest on his shoulders. If his current form continues, he could soon break into the £100 million valuation bracket — a milestone that would make him one of Africa’s most expensive players ever.
In a recent interview, Semenyo stated:
“I don’t let the price tag define me. I just want to improve every game and help my team win.”
Those words sum up the humility and hunger that have fueled his rise. Whether he stays at Bournemouth or moves to a bigger club, one thing is certain — Antoine Semenyo is Ghana’s golden boy, and his best chapters are yet to be written.
The continent of Africa, long celebrated for its spirit of perseverance and communal solidarity, now finds itself bearing the weight of two deeply troubling crises: the escalating civil war in Sudan and the persistent killings of Christian communities in Nigeria. These events raise a haunting question: where is the solidarity among nations and institutions to protect innocent lives?
Sudan: “A killing field” in Darfur
In western Sudan, the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has seized the city of El Fasher in North Darfur after an 18-month siege. In the aftermath of the city’s fall, reports from doctors, satellite imagery, and human‐rights monitors describe mass killings of civilians, house-to-house executions, ethnic targeting and credible allegations of genocide.
Medical and humanitarian aid workers have documented scenes of utter devastation: hospitals attacked, displacement camps bombarded, families starving—among them children who have known nothing but war. The world’s largest humanitarian crisis has unfolded in Sudan.
Despite this scale of suffering, responses from regional institutions and international bodies have often been too slow, fragmented or mediated by foreign powers with vested interests. The African Union’s role in peace-keeping, mediation and enforcement of human rights is being deeply tested.
Nigeria: Christian communities targeted, global alarm raised
Meanwhile in Nigeria, attacks on Christian villages continue with alarming frequency. In Plateau State, at least 13 people — among them children — were killed when militants struck Christian communities in October.
These incidents are part of a complex tapestry of violence — militant groups, herder-farmer conflicts, ethnic tensions and religious fault-lines. While some Western politicians label the events as “Christian genocide,” analysts warn that simplistic narratives risk mis-diagnosing the root causes of violence and may hamper real solutions.
The United States has even threatened to cut off aid or press for military action if the Nigerian government does not prevent killings of Christians. This injects external pressure into an already volatile situation and raises the question: have domestic and regional African actors done enough?
Where is the solidarity? Where is the African Union?
In both Sudan and Nigeria, the African Union is formally positioned as the principal regional body mandated to uphold peace, security, governance and human rights. Yet in practice:
In Sudan, despite huge civilian suffering, mass displacement and allegations of genocide, the AU’s enforcement structures (e.g., peace-keeping, sanctions) have been limited in impact. In Nigeria, where internal security, religious freedom and inter-communal harmony are at stake, the AU’s voice is muted compared to the noisy international headlines triggered by Western governments.
It begs the question: when does the African Union move from discussion to action? When its member states convene, do they speak of early warning systems, rapid deployment forces, protection of religious minorities, and accountability mechanisms — or do they default to diplomatic statements? The urgency of the moment demands more than words.
Africa in anguish: Sudan’s civil war deepens, Nigeria’s Christians under fire 8
A call for humanitarian solidarity
Citizens, NGOs and faith-based organisations across the continent and beyond must offer solidarity: funding humanitarian relief, documenting abuses, pressuring governments, and ensuring survivors’ voices are heard. In Sudan, displaced families and children are starving, vulnerable and abandoned. In Nigeria, entire communities live in fear of attack.
Africa’s moral compass, guided by shared values of Ubuntu (“I am because we are”), must not evaporate in the face of bullets, war, sectarian violence and foreign indifference. If the African Union cannot act decisively, civil society must step up. If regional leaders shy away, the world will see — yet again — Africa in anguish without meaningful protection.
Conclusion
From the blood-soaked streets of El Fasher to the vulnerable hamlets in Nigeria’s Christian belt, Africa is crying out. The question is no longer just “Where is humanity?” but “Who will stand up now?” For the African Union, and for every African country, the time for talk is over. Lives are at stake. Solidarity must become action — swiftly, fiercely, compassionately.
U.S. President Donald J. Trump on Saturday escalated a diplomatic row with Nigeria by warning that Washington could halt all aid and — if the violence does not stop — even send U.S. forces into the country “guns-a-blazing” to strike Islamist militants he blamed for a wave of attacks on Christians. The comments were published on his social platform and accompanied orders to the Pentagon to begin planning for possible action.
Trump threatens possible military action in Nigeria over alleged “killing of Christians” 10
Trump’s post said he was designating Nigeria a “country of particular concern” for religious-freedom abuses and accused so-called “radical Islamists” of carrying out a “mass slaughter” of Christians. He gave no operational details and did not cite new evidence to substantiate numbers in his post. The president’s remarks mark a sharp intensification of U.S. rhetoric over violence in Nigeria, where militant groups such as Boko Haram, Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) and militant herder-farmer clashes have produced widespread insecurity over many years.
Nigeria’s federal government immediately rejected the accusation that it is tolerating religious killings. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the government is committed to protecting all citizens and continuing operations against violent extremists; Nigerian officials stressed that attacks have also killed many Muslims and that the security challenge is complex and multifaceted. Diplomats cautioned that unilateral military action by the United States on Nigerian soil would raise serious legal and regional consequences.
U.S. lawmakers and rights groups will closely watch what steps follow Trump’s directive. The “country of particular concern” label is a State Department tool that can presage sanctions or other measures; military intervention, however, would represent an unprecedented escalation in U.S. policy toward an African partner and would likely require Congressional engagement and complex legal authorities. Analysts also warned that foreign strikes risk inflaming local tensions and could put civilians at greater risk.
Reaction across the region and from international partners was cautious. Human-rights and humanitarian groups reiterated the need for verified investigations into abuses and for stepped-up support for vulnerable communities, while urging diplomatic channels and multilateral cooperation rather than unilateral force. The sharp U.S. statement comes amid growing domestic political pressure in Washington over global religious-freedom claims and follows calls from some U.S. officials and lawmakers to investigate and press Nigeria on the issue.
In an inspiring turn of events, Ghanaian socialite Angel Asiamah has revealed that his wife, now serving time in prison, has discovered a new purpose through drumming. According to Angel, she has become a “powerful drummer” who continues to inspire hope and joy among fellow inmates.

“My wifey is now a powerful drummer in prison. She’s doing very well by God’s grace,” Angel Asiamah shared joyfully on social media, accompanied by photos of her performing energetically while surrounded by cheering inmates.
The images have since gone viral, capturing the hearts of many Ghanaians who praised her resilience and faith. Many social media users described her transformation as a testament to how God can use difficult situations to birth talent, strength, and ministry.
Observers say her story is a reminder that even behind bars, one’s gift and calling can still shine. Her lively drumming sessions reportedly bring unity and encouragement among the women, turning the prison yard into a place of hope and worship.
Renowned Ghanaian journalist and social commentator, Shamima Muslim, has appealed to President John Dramani Mahama to safeguard his political legacy by ensuring that his appointees do not tarnish his image or derail the progress of Ghana’s democracy.
In a strongly worded statement circulating on social media, Shamima cautioned the President against tolerating any acts of misconduct, abuse of power, or corruption from his appointees that could damage his reputation and the credibility of his administration.
“Mr. President Mahama, please don’t allow your appointees to destroy your political records. If your four-year political mandate comes to an end, please step down and allow democracy to do its work for our beautiful nation,” she wrote.
Shamima Muslim Urges President Mahama to Uphold Democratic Principles and Protect His Legacy 14
Her comments have sparked significant public reaction, with many praising her for boldly calling for accountability and democratic integrity within the government. Others see it as a timely reminder for all political leaders to prioritize national interest over personal ambition.
Shamima Muslim, known for her advocacy in governance and women’s leadership, emphasized that Ghana’s democratic values must be preserved at all costs, warning that political power should never override the will of the people.
Political analysts say her statement reflects growing public concern over political excesses and the need for transparent governance as the nation looks toward the next electoral cycle.
Washington / Abuja — On October 31, 2025, Donald Trump announced that Nigeria would be designated as a “Country of Particular Concern” (CPC) under the International Religious Freedom Act, citing what he described as an “existential threat” to Christians in the country.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote:
“Christianity is facing an existential threat in Nigeria. Thousands of Christians are being killed. Radical Islamists are responsible for this mass slaughter.”
He also called on two U.S. House members — Riley Moore and Tom Cole — and the House Appropriations Committee to investigate the situation and report back.
Trump Labels Nigeria a “Country of Particular Concern” Over Christian Killings 16
What the Designation Means & U.S. Response
The CPC list is used by the U.S. government to identify countries that engage in or tolerate “particularly severe violations of religious freedom.” While the label does not automatically trigger sanctions, it opens the door for possible U.S. penalties — including cuts to non-humanitarian aid. Nigeria was previously on a similar list in 2020, but the CPC designation was lifted in 2023 under the previous U.S. administration.
The Nigerian government, through the Foreign Affairs Ministry, rejected Trump’s characterization, asserting that “these claims do not reflect the situation on the ground.” President Bola Ahmed Tinubu stated that religious freedom is “a core tenet” of Nigeria’s identity and that the country protects citizens of all faiths. Analysts caution that the violence in Nigeria is deeply complex: while Christians are targeted, many victims are also Muslims, and conflicts often involve ethnic, resource, and insurgency-driven dynamics rather than purely religious motives.
Why It Matters
Elevated International Attention: The designation signals heightened U.S. scrutiny of Nigeria’s handling of religious-freedom issues, which could affect diplomatic and aid relationships. Domestic Implications for Nigeria: The move may pressure Nigeria’s government to intensify protection of religious minorities, but could also provoke diplomatic tension. Impact on Christian Communities: For Christian advocacy groups, the U.S. action represents a recognition of what they say is large-scale persecution. However, for other analysts the data and narrative are contested.
Bottom Line
President Trump’s announcement to place Nigeria on the “Country of Particular Concern” list marks a sharp U.S. step in responding to alleged religious-freedom violations — especially violence against Christians. The move comes amid strong pushback from Nigeria’s government and experts who argue the violence’s root causes are multifaceted. While sanctions are not automatic, the designation raises the stakes for U.S.–Nigeria cooperation on aid, security, and religious-freedom issues.

In a bid to promote financial literacy among the younger generation, the Bank of Ghana (BoG) has hosted more than 250 pupils from five different schools at its Bank Square premises in Accra for an insightful currency education session.
Bank of Ghana Hosts Over 250 Pupils for Currency Education Session at Bank Square 22
The event forms part of the central bank’s continuous efforts to educate schoolchildren on the importance of money, currency security features, savings culture, and financial discipline. Officials from the Currency Department took the students through practical lessons on how to identify genuine Ghana cedi notes, handle money responsibly, and understand the role of the Bank of Ghana in maintaining the country’s financial stability.
Participating schools expressed their excitement and appreciation for the eye-opening experience, describing it as both educational and inspiring. The pupils also had the rare opportunity to tour the Bank Square, interact with BoG staff, and learn about Ghana’s monetary history and the evolution of the cedi.
According to the Bank, similar outreach programs will be extended to other regions to ensure that young Ghanaians across the country develop a sound understanding of currency management and the value of saving from an early age.
The initiative underscores BoG’s commitment to building a financially informed future generation capable of making wise monetary decisions and supporting national economic growth.
