Popular Ghanaian YouTuber and content creator Wode Maya has expressed heartfelt gratitude to the Government of Ghana after being honoured with a diplomatic passport, describing the experience as a major life upgrade.
In a social media post that quickly gained traction, Wode Maya wrote:
“God bless government for honouring me with a diplomatic passport, I never knew traveling could be this stress-free.”
The statement sparked widespread reactions online, with many Ghanaians congratulating him for flying the nation’s flag high through storytelling, tourism promotion, and positive African narratives across the globe.
Wode Maya, known internationally for his documentaries highlighting African innovation, culture, and success stories, has built a massive global audience. Supporters argue that the diplomatic passport is a recognition of his soft-power influence and consistent promotion of Ghana and Africa on the world stage.
While some online debates questioned who qualifies for such honours, many others defended the decision, stating that creatives and digital ambassadors play an important role in shaping Ghana’s global image.
For Wode Maya, the recognition appears to be both symbolic and practical—making international travel smoother as he continues to represent Ghana in global spaces.
Accra, Ghana — New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer hopeful, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has reignited national debate on religion and leadership after referencing the Bible to justify his presidential ambition.
“God Can Choose Anyone” – Bawumia Cites Biblical King Cyrus to Defend Muslim Leadership Bid 10
Drawing parallels from scripture, Dr. Bawumia noted that King Cyrus of Persia, who was not a Jew, was nonetheless chosen by God to lead and liberate God’s people. According to him, this biblical example proves that leadership under God’s will is not limited by religion.
“If God chose King Cyrus, who was not a Jew, to lead Persia, then that same God can choose Dr. Bawumia, who is a Muslim, to lead Ghana,” he stated.
The Vice President’s comment comes amid ongoing discussions within political and religious circles about whether Ghana is ready to be led by a non-Christian president. Supporters say his statement promotes religious tolerance and national unity, while critics argue it mixes faith with politics.
“God Can Choose Anyone” – Bawumia Cites Biblical King Cyrus to Defend Muslim Leadership Bid 11
Ghana, constitutionally a secular state, has long prided itself on peaceful religious coexistence. Dr. Bawumia’s remarks appear aimed at reassuring voters that competence, vision, and integrity — not religious affiliation — should be the basis for leadership.

As the 2026 general elections draw closer, the statement is expected to further energize political discourse across the country.
Ghanaian actor and filmmaker Kwaku Manu has weighed in on the ongoing legal case involving Ebo Noah, the man who recently went viral for claiming that God instructed him to build an ark to save lives ahead of an alleged impending flood.
Ebo Noah was arrested after the predicted flood failed to occur. Authorities charged him with causing fear and panic, and a court subsequently remanded him into police custody for two weeks while investigations continue.

In a video circulating on social media, Kwaku Manu appealed to law enforcement agencies and the judiciary to strike a balance between justice and compassion. According to the actor, Ebo Noah’s actions appeared less criminal and more influenced by the pressures of modern content creation and the desire for attention online.
Kwaku Manu further suggested that desperation, hunger, and economic hardship could have affected Ebo Noah’s judgment, urging the public not to rush to harsh conclusions. He emphasized that while the law must take its course, Ghanaian society should also show empathy, especially in cases where mental health may be a factor.

In response to these concerns, the court has ordered a psychological assessment of Ebo Noah ahead of his next hearing, which has been scheduled for January 16. The assessment is expected to help determine his mental state at the time of the incident and guide the court’s final decision.
The case has sparked nationwide debate, with many Ghanaians questioning how the country should handle viral religious claims, mental health concerns, and public safety in the digital age.
A fresh coup attempt targeting Burkina Faso’s military leader, President Ibrahim Traoré, was reportedly foiled on January 4, 2026, marking the sixth alleged plot against his government since he assumed office in 2022.
Security sources indicate that the latest attempt was coordinated from neighboring Togo, with investigations revealing the alleged involvement of a former Burkinabé president believed to be seeking a return to power. Authorities say several suspects crossed into Burkina Faso from Togo as part of the operation and were swiftly arrested by national security forces.

According to preliminary findings, the detained suspects reportedly confessed to being recruited and sent to destabilize the current administration, with the aim of overthrowing President Traoré and reinstating the former leader. The Burkinabé government has not officially named the ex-president involved, citing ongoing investigations and regional diplomatic sensitivities.
The announcement of the foiled coup attempt sparked massive spontaneous demonstrations across Ouagadougou and other major cities, as thousands of citizens poured into the streets to publicly affirm their loyalty to President Traoré. Protesters waved national flags, chanted patriotic slogans, and praised the military-led government for what they described as its firm stance against foreign-backed interference.
Many supporters described the attempted coup as an attack on Burkina Faso’s sovereignty, with demonstrators calling for unity and vigilance amid growing regional instability in the Sahel. Social media platforms were also flooded with messages of support for Traoré, with hashtags backing his leadership trending locally.
President Ibrahim Traoré, who came to power in 2022 following a military takeover, has repeatedly accused external actors and former political elites of attempting to undermine his administration. His leadership has been characterized by a strong anti-imperialist stance and closer cooperation with regional military allies.
Security analysts note that the frequency of alleged coup attempts reflects deep political tensions within Burkina Faso, as well as the broader instability facing several West African nations. Despite the repeated threats, Traoré has maintained significant grassroots support, particularly among young people and nationalist groups.
As investigations continue, Burkina Faso’s authorities have vowed to tighten border security and pursue all individuals linked to the plot, insisting that any attempt to reverse the country’s political direction will be firmly resisted.
Award-winning Ghanaian musician Wendy Shay has ignited conversation on social media after sharing a cryptic post on X (formerly Twitter) about the challenges of mentoring other people’s children.
“The hardest part of mentoring someone else’s child is often the parents’ interference. What’s all this…” — Wendy Shay wrote.
“Parents’ Interference Is the Hardest Part” — Wendy Shay Sparks Speculation with Cryptic X Post 20
The post has triggered widespread speculation, especially because many fans are aware that Wendy Shay is currently mentoring two young girls, with the intention of grooming them into confident, disciplined, and successful individuals in the future.
While the singer did not mention any names, social media users are debating who her message may be directed at. Some believe she could be referring to Tracy Shay, while others think it may concern the other young girl under her mentorship. However, no confirmation has been made, and Wendy Shay has remained silent since the post.
The hardest part of mentoring someone else’s child is often the parents’ interference 🤦🏾♀️ What’s all this…
Industry observers say the comment highlights a real but often unspoken challenge in mentorship, where good intentions can clash with parental control, expectations, or misunderstandings. Many have praised Wendy Shay for stepping into a mentorship role, describing it as a rare commitment in an industry often focused solely on personal success.
Others, however, are urging caution, noting that mentoring children requires clear boundaries, communication, and alignment with parents, to avoid conflict or misinterpretation.
For now, the situation remains unclear, but one thing is certain — Wendy Shay’s message has opened an important conversation about mentorship, responsibility, and parental involvement in shaping young lives.
Pokuase, Greater Accra – Athletic Bilbao stars Iñaki Williams and Nico Williams are earning massive praise in Ghana, not just for their football excellence, but for a powerful legacy project transforming education.
Inaki & Nico Williams Score Big Off the Pitch with World-Class School in Pokuase 22
The brothers, whose parents are Ghanaian, built Leads International School in Pokuase, a fast-rising private institution that has quickly become one of the most respected schools in the Greater Accra Region. What started as a vision to give back to their roots has now grown into a beacon of quality education, discipline, and leadership development.
Leads International School is celebrated for its modern facilities, strong academic structure, and values-based education, attracting families from across Accra and beyond. Parents and education stakeholders describe the school as a model institution preparing children not only for exams, but for life.
For Iñaki and Nico Williams, the project goes beyond charity. It represents long-term investment in human capital, ensuring Ghanaian children receive opportunities that can shape them into global leaders, professionals, and innovators.
Community leaders in Pokuase have applauded the brothers for choosing education over publicity stunts, noting that the impact of a good school lasts far longer than trophies or goals. Many see the initiative as a challenge to other African stars to reinvest meaningfully back home.
As the Williams brothers continue to shine in Europe, their influence in Ghana is quietly growing — classroom by classroom, child by child.
The National Coordinator of the Ghana School Feeding Programme (GSFP), Hajia Fati Forgor, has raised serious concerns over alleged misconduct by some teachers, accusing them of consuming food meant strictly for schoolchildren — a practice she says is contributing to persistent food shortages in beneficiary schools.
Speaking during a stakeholder engagement on the challenges facing the programme, Hajia Fati Forgor revealed that reports from caterers and monitoring teams indicate that food portions intended for pupils are sometimes diverted to teachers and non-beneficiaries.
Teachers Are Eating Food Meant for Students, Causing Shortages” – Hajia Fati Forgor 24
According to her, the School Feeding Programme was designed to improve school attendance, nutrition, and learning outcomes, especially for children in deprived communities. However, abuse of the system by adults undermines these objectives and affects the most vulnerable pupils.
“When food meant for students is shared with teachers, it reduces portions and in some cases leads to shortages before all children are served,” she stated.
Hajia Fati Forgor emphasized that while teachers play a critical role in the education system, the programme’s guidelines do not permit teachers to be fed under the GSFP, unless separate arrangements are made by school authorities.
She warned that continued violations could attract administrative sanctions, stressing that strict monitoring measures are being introduced to ensure accountability, transparency, and fairness in food distribution.
The revelation has sparked public debate nationwide, with many Ghanaians calling for stronger supervision, clear enforcement of guidelines, and protection of children’s welfare under the programme.
Ghana Black Stars defender Alidu Seidu delivered a commanding performance for Stade Rennes as they secured an impressive 2–0 away victory over Lille in French Ligue 1.
Alidu Seidu Shines as Stade Rennes Beat Lille 2–0 Away 26
Seidu was rock-solid at the back, completing the full 90 minutes and emerging as the second-highest rated player on the pitch with an outstanding 8.1 rating according to SofaScore.
The Ghanaian defender showcased elite defensive discipline and composure, recording 11 clearances and 4 ball recoveries, effectively neutralising Lille’s attacking threats throughout the match. Notably, Seidu was not dribbled past even once, underlining his defensive awareness and positioning.
His contribution was not limited to defending alone. Seidu also demonstrated impressive ball distribution, completing 64 of 65 passes, translating to a remarkable 98% pass accuracy, a stat that highlights his calmness and confidence in possession under pressure.
This performance further strengthens Alidu Seidu’s reputation as one of Ghana’s most dependable defenders currently playing in Europe and is a major boost ahead of upcoming Black Stars assignments.
