Ghana Black Stars head coach, Otto Addo, has stated that he is unfazed by the statistics surrounding his record of wins and losses with the national team.

Speaking to the media, the coach emphasized that football is about more than numbers on paper. According to him, his focus remains on building a competitive team that can deliver consistent performances on the pitch, rather than worrying about critics dissecting his results.

“I don’t allow statistics to dictate my emotions. What matters most to me is progress, teamwork, and how the players respond to the philosophy we are building,” Addo explained.

The Black Stars coach added that his priority is ensuring Ghana qualifies for upcoming tournaments and restores its reputation as a dominant force in African football. While some fans have expressed concern about recent performances, Otto Addo maintained that patience and support are crucial for success.

He further noted that football results often fluctuate, but the foundation of a strong team takes time to solidify. “I remain committed to the job. Our focus is on development, discipline, and results will come naturally,” he assured.

The Black Stars continue preparations for their next international assignments, with expectations high for improved performances under his leadership.

In a major development for sanitation workers in Ghana, salaries of Zoomlion workers have been significantly increased from GHC250 to GHC1200. This adjustment has been welcomed as a long-awaited move to improve the welfare of workers who have been the backbone of the nation’s cleanliness efforts.

Previously, each worker was allocated GHC750, but only GHC250 made it into their pockets. The rest was deducted under unclear arrangements. However, with the new increment, every Zoomlion worker will now take home the full GHC1200, ending years of complaints and dissatisfaction.

The change follows strong advocacy and reforms pushed by Malik Basintale, who has been vocal about ensuring better working conditions and fair compensation for sanitation staff. His efforts have been praised by both workers and the general public as a step toward restoring dignity to the profession.

This increase is expected to boost morale among sanitation workers and improve their standard of living while motivating them to continue playing their crucial role in keeping communities clean. Many see this as a victory for fairness and transparency in public service contracts.

Zoomlion employees across the country have expressed gratitude, with many calling it a “dream come true” after years of underpayment.

Kuami Eugene Does Not Own Most of His Songs – Arnold Asamoah Baidoo

Renowned entertainment critic Arnold Asamoah Baidoo has sparked conversation with his latest remarks about Kuami Eugene’s ownership of his music. According to him, the award-winning highlife and Afrobeat star does not own the majority of his songs, which makes it difficult for him to fully grasp why many Ghanaian artistes are opting to sell their catalogues.

Baidoo explained that music catalogues represent one of the most valuable assets for musicians, often serving as long-term investments and revenue streams. For artistes who have full ownership of their works, selling a catalogue can be a strategic financial decision. However, he argued that Kuami Eugene may not entirely appreciate the reasoning behind such sales, since most of his popular tracks are not in his direct ownership.

“Kuami Eugene’s situation is quite different because he doesn’t own a large chunk of his songs. That’s why when conversations come up about artistes selling their catalogues, he doesn’t seem to get the bigger picture,” Baidoo stressed.

The discussion of music ownership and catalogue sales has gained momentum in Ghana, with several industry players urging artistes to secure rights to their intellectual property. While international acts like Justin Bieber and Katy Perry have cashed out by selling their catalogues for millions of dollars, many Ghanaian artistes struggle due to record label contracts and publishing agreements.

Baidoo’s comments highlight a long-standing issue in the Ghanaian music industry—ownership. Without control over their works, artistes risk missing out on future opportunities tied to royalties, streaming, and catalogue sales.

As debates continue, industry watchers believe Kuami Eugene’s case should serve as a reminder to up-and-coming artistes to carefully structure their contracts, ensuring they reap the long-term benefits of their creativity.

Nigerian SHS Student Skips WASSCE Exams to Marry American Woman

A young Nigerian student has sparked debate online after reportedly abandoning his West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) to marry his American lover.

The unusual incident, first reported by Nigerian blog Remedyblog, revealed that the student opted out of writing his final secondary school exams in order to tie the knot with a woman from the United States. Videos of the marriage ceremony have since surfaced online, drawing widespread attention and mixed reactions from social media users.

For many, the student’s choice reflects a rising trend among young African men who pursue relationships with older foreign women—often referred to as “sugar mamas”—as a perceived gateway to better economic opportunities abroad. Some commentators argue that such marriages can open doors to international travel, employment prospects, and even permanent residency in countries like the U.S., making it more appealing than the uncertain future that awaits many after secondary school.

However, others criticized the decision, describing it as short-sighted and a betrayal of the student’s education and long-term potential. Critics emphasized that while relocation may bring short-term benefits, education remains a critical tool for personal and national development.

Despite the divided opinions, the young man appears resolute in his choice, prioritizing marriage and the promise of a new life overseas over academic achievement. His story adds to the ongoing discourse about the struggles of African youth, who often weigh the value of education against the lure of migration and financial security abroad.

President Mahama, speaking during the meeting, expressed his firm conviction that Ghana will once again reclaim its position as a global leader in press freedom. “Ghana will resume its pride of place as the beacon of media freedom, not only in West Africa but in the whole world,” he declared, drawing applause from the GJA delegation.

The President acknowledged that Ghana’s reputation in media freedom had suffered some setbacks in recent years, with international press freedom rankings highlighting concerns about safety of journalists, political interference, and economic pressures on media houses. He stressed that his administration is committed to reversing this trend by creating a safe, enabling environment for the media to thrive.

GJA President Albert Kwabena Dwumfour, who led the delegation, commended the President’s assurance and urged government to back its commitment with policies that would guarantee journalist safety and independence. He noted that journalists continue to face threats, intimidation, and economic hardships that undermine the profession’s growth.

“Press freedom is not just about laws on paper—it is about practice. We want to see media workers protected, respected, and empowered to play their watchdog role without fear or interference,” Dwumfour said.

During the meeting, the GJA executives raised issues including:

The need for stronger enforcement of laws protecting journalists from attacks. Financial support and tax incentives for struggling media houses. Training opportunities to adapt to the digital era. A call for government to champion transparency and access to information.

President Mahama in response pledged to work closely with the association, emphasizing that democracy cannot flourish without a free and responsible press. He also urged journalists to balance their freedom with professionalism, fact-checking, and adherence to ethical standards.

Political analysts say this renewed commitment comes at a crucial time as Ghana prepares for upcoming elections. Media observers believe the relationship between government and the press will be pivotal in ensuring credible and transparent coverage.

The meeting concluded with optimism, as both the GJA and the Presidency promised stronger collaboration. As President Mahama put it, restoring Ghana’s image as a world beacon of press freedom is not just an aspiration—it is a responsibility to uphold democracy, accountability, and truth.

Afrifa-Mensah, who is currently studying law at the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA), was selected for the program through the ongoing academic exchange between GIMPA and UCONN.

Ghanaian artiste Showboy has sparked controversy with claims that award-winning musician Black Sherif is not benefiting financially from his rising success.

In a recent video, Showboy alleged that despite Black Sherif’s global recognition, hit records, and chart dominance, the young star is not making the money expected of his stature. He attributed this to the contract Black Sherif reportedly signed with his record label, Empire.

According to Showboy, Empire takes the bulk of revenue from streaming platforms, international tours, and live performances, leaving Black Sherif with little personal gain. He argued that although the label’s financial investment boosted Sherif’s career, the structure of the deal favors Empire far more than the artiste himself.

“He will spend years making music but won’t own it, and in the end, he’ll have nothing to show for all his hard work,” Showboy warned. He further claimed that the label’s long-term plan is to drain Black Sherif financially, benefiting from his artistry while leaving him disadvantaged.

The comments have stirred conversations online, with many fans debating whether Black Sherif’s contract with Empire is truly exploitative or simply part of the trade-offs in the music industry.

Otto Addo Fires Back at Team Performance

In his post-match press conference, Addo expressed his deep frustration over Ghana’s inability to convert domination into a win. Despite controlling possession, registering numerous attempts and corners, the Black Stars still failed to seal victory. As he put it:

“I can’t say we played excellently … because it was a draw. … We had a lot of corners, a lot of shots … and normally we have to win this game.” 

Blaming the Conditions

Addo also pointed to the poor pitch conditions in N’Djamena, condemning the hard, dried-out surface for slowing down his team’s fluid European-style play:

“The pitch was very slow for us … When it’s not watered … we can’t play fast … it’s a disadvantage for us.” 

The Match at a Glance

Date & Venue: 4 September 2025 at Stade Olympique Maréchal Idriss Déby Itno, N’Djamena, Chad Ghana Goalscorer: Jordan Ayew (17th minute) Chad Equalizer: Celestine Ecua (88th minute), marking Chad’s first World Cup qualifying point  Group I Standings: Ghana remain top with 16 points, Madagascar second with 13, Mali third with 12.

Stakes & What’s Next

Ghana now turns its attention to a pivotal Group I fixture against Mali at the Accra Sports Stadium on Monday, 8 September 2025 at 19:00 GMT. A win will help them secure top spot—and direct qualification—while any slip-up could open the door for rivals.
