African combat sports just received a major boost as African Knockout (AKO), the continent’s premier mixed martial arts (MMA) promotion, has officially sealed a strategic broadcast partnership with SuperSport, one of Africa’s biggest sports networks.
Founded by Nigerian-born UFC world champion Kamaru “The Nigerian Nightmare” Usman, AKO has rapidly positioned itself as a homegrown powerhouse dedicated to nurturing African MMA talent.

SuperSport, already known for its dominance in broadcasting football, rugby, athletics, and boxing, sees this partnership as an opportunity to expand its combat sports portfolio while tapping into Africa’s growing MMA fan base.

Honouring Noguchi’s Legacy: 98 Years Later
It has now been 98 years since the selfless sacrifice of Dr. Hideyo Noguchi, whose pioneering research on yellow fever in Ghana ended in his untimely death.

From bridges to biotechnology, from car assembly to satellite science, Ghana’s resurgence is tangible—and rooted in partnerships that value mutual growth and respect.
The heartbreaking image of Texas teacher Mr. Alejandro Navarro, who spent his last hours grading assignments from his hospital bed before passing away, has shaken the world. His final act of service has become a symbol of the extraordinary sacrifices teachers make — often at the cost of their own health and well-being.
A Teacher’s Final Lesson: Ghana Must Value Its Educators While They Are Alive 14
But as Ghanaians reflect on this story, it raises a sobering question: How are we treating our own teachers while they are still alive?
In Ghana, teachers remain the backbone of society. They shape the doctors, engineers, lawyers, entrepreneurs, and leaders of tomorrow. Yet, many of them work under extreme pressure, battling poor conditions, delayed salaries, limited resources, and the emotional weight of carrying entire classrooms on their shoulders. Too often, their sacrifices are only celebrated when tragedy strikes.
The lesson from Navarro’s story is clear: teachers should not have to give their very last breath in service before being valued. Ghana must act now. This means:
Fair and timely salaries to restore dignity to the profession. Improved infrastructure and teaching tools so classrooms are places of learning, not struggle. Comprehensive healthcare and mental health support to prevent burnout. Opportunities for career growth and continuous training, ensuring teachers are equipped for a modern, digital age.
Navarro’s story has sparked global conversations, but for Ghana, it is a direct call to action. Our teachers should not be martyrs before they are respected. They should feel honored, supported, and cherished every single day.
As one education advocate put it: “When a teacher dies, a library burns. But when a teacher is alive and supported, a nation rises.”
If Ghana truly wants to build a future of excellence, it must start by giving teachers the respect, resources, and recognition they deserve — not in death, but in life.
When people hear the name Denzel Washington, they think of Hollywood, Oscars, luxury cars and Beverly Hills mansions. But what many don’t know is that his greatest role has not been on the big screen — it has been in serving humanity.
Denzel Washington Didn’t Just Act in Equalizer — He Equalized Lives in Ghana 16
With a net worth of $300 million, Denzel could have kept it all for himself. Instead, he chose to give most of his Equalizer movie earnings to charity. The results? 12 eye clinics built across Africa and, in Ghana, 30 planes filled with medical supplies delivered during the pandemic when hospitals were struggling the most.
This wasn’t a publicity stunt — it was quiet, life-saving service. Thousands of Ghanaians benefitted, proving that true wealth is not in mansions or cars, but in impact.
Even in his private life, Denzel lives by humility. His kids went to regular schools, and he often says: “Money glows in your pocket, but it shines when you share it.”
For Ghana, his story is a reminder that success is not about how much you keep, but how much you give back. And sometimes, the biggest stars shine brightest in places far away from Hollywood.
Award-winning Nigerian actor Ramsey Nouah has revealed the simple yet powerful secret behind his 23-year marriage — choosing substance over show.
In a heartfelt reflection, Nouah disclosed that when he married his wife, Emilie Phillips Nouah, in 2002, she refused to have a big, expensive wedding. Her reason was as wise as it was practical: if too much money was spent, people would watch and wait for the marriage to collapse, only to gossip about it. Instead, Emilie suggested that they invest the money wisely, building a future together rather than hosting a spectacle.
Ramsey Nouah Shares Secret to 23 Years of a Happy Marriage 18
That decision, Nouah says, set the tone for the strong and private union they now enjoy. Today, Emilie is a successful businesswoman who maintains a very private lifestyle, and together, the couple has built a marriage admired across the continent.
“We’ve been happily married for 23 years,” Nouah shared, adding that his wife’s humility and wisdom made her the type of woman “every man wants.”
The story has struck a chord with many across Africa, especially at a time when extravagant weddings often leave couples in debt and under pressure. Nouah’s testimony is a reminder that the strength of a marriage lies not in one day’s ceremony, but in the daily choices couples make to build trust, love, and a shared future.
Moral Lesson: The wedding day may last a few hours, but the marriage is for a lifetime. Choosing wisely and investing in the future is more important than pleasing the crowd.

President Mahama Secures Major Toyota Deal During Japan Visit 26
A landmark highlight of the trip was the signing of a new agreement with global automobile giant Toyota. Under the deal, Toyota will expand its operations in Ghana and establish the country as its West African hub for automobile assembly and distribution.
According to officials, the agreement is expected to create thousands of direct and indirect jobs for Ghanaians, boost technology transfer, and position Ghana as a competitive player in the region’s automotive industry. The expansion will also enhance the local supply chain by involving Ghanaian businesses in the production and distribution process.
President Mahama described the Toyota deal as “a turning point in Ghana’s industrial growth,” adding that it aligns with his broader vision of accelerating manufacturing and job creation across key sectors.
“This partnership with Toyota does not only strengthen Ghana’s industrial base but also ensures that our country remains the preferred destination for global investment in West Africa,” the President stated.
Toyota representatives expressed optimism about the collaboration, praising Ghana’s stable business climate and strategic location as ideal conditions for their West African hub.
The agreement comes at a time when Ghana is intensifying efforts to diversify its economy, reduce reliance on imports, and expand opportunities for its growing youth population.
President Mahama’s Japan visit also opened discussions on further cooperation in energy, infrastructure, and digital technology, signaling stronger ties between Ghana and Japan in the years ahead.
Detroit, USA – A man known across East Detroit for his generosity gave his community one final shock at his funeral — by literally making it rain money from a helicopter.
Darrell “Plant” Thomas, a respected car wash owner and community pillar, passed away at age 58 after battling Alzheimer’s. But even in death, he found a way to say “thank you” to the people who had supported him throughout his life.
Viral Video: East Detroit Man Turns His Own Funeral Into A Rain Of Money From The Sky 28
On Friday, as mourners gathered to pay their last respects, a helicopter appeared above the neighborhood and showered down cash, leaving the crowd screaming in disbelief. Children and adults rushed to grab the bills, not just as money, but as a powerful reminder of a man who always gave without expecting anything in return.
For years, Thomas was known as the man who helped struggling families with free car washes, handed jobs to jobless youth, and quietly blessed neighbors in need. His friends say this act sums up his entire life.
“Plant was never about keeping riches to himself. He believed blessings are meant to be shared,” said his close friend Marcus Reed. “This is the legacy he wanted to leave.”
His daughter revealed that Thomas had planned the money drop long ago. “He didn’t want his funeral to be full of tears. He wanted joy, laughter, and a memory nobody would forget,” she said.
And indeed, nobody in East Detroit will forget the day their beloved car wash man turned his own farewell into a celebration — making it rain one last time.
