Google & Ghana Expand AI Education Access in Local Languages

Ghana has entered a strategic partnership with global tech giant Google to introduce advanced AI‑powered educational tools designed in local languages, including Twi, Ewe, and Dagbani. This initiative is part of the country’s broader vision to improve education accessibility and digital learning for all learners, especially those in underserved or rural communities and students with disabilities.

The partnership announcement came during the Generative AI Summit in the United Kingdom, where Ghana’s Minister for Education, Haruna Iddrisu, engaged with Google officials. He revealed that Google is collaborating with the University of Ghana and the GDI Hub to develop speech recognition and AI tools tailored to Ghanaian languages, placing special emphasis on handling non‑standard speech patterns to improve understanding and usability in educational contexts.

A key component of the collaboration is the zero‑rated deployment of Google’s education tools in Ghana, meaning that students and educators can access curriculum‑aligned AI resources without internet data charges, enhancing equitable access across socioeconomic groups. 

Google’s support is part of a larger commitment to Africa’s digital transformation. In July 2025, the company announced a US$37 million investment in AI research and digital skills development across the continent, including the launch of a new AI Community Center in Accra — a hub for innovation, training, and AI research. This investment forms part of Google’s US$1 billion pledge to strengthen Africa’s position in the global AI ecosystem. 

Officials also noted the importance of expanding the language initiative to include Hausa, a widely spoken language in Ghana and West Africa, to further deepen regional inclusion and reinforce Ghana’s role as a leader in AI innovation on the continent. 

This collaboration reflects Ghana’s growing reputation as an AI education pioneer in Africa and underscores the role of localized AI tools in shaping inclusive and culturally relevant learning experiences for students across the country.

Ghanaian actress speaks out against body shaming, defends her personal choice, and urges compassion online

Ghanaian actress and entrepreneur Salma Mumin has broken her silence on the intense public criticism surrounding her recent physical transformation, sending a powerful message to critics and social media commentators who have relentlessly scrutinized her appearance.

In an emotional and strongly worded statement, the actress made it clear that the constant commentary about her body has crossed the line from opinion into cruelty. According to Salma, words are not harmless and can deeply affect a person’s mental, emotional, and psychological wellbeing—a reality many people fail to consider before speaking.

Salma Mumin’s before and after.

Salma revealed that her decision to alter her body was entirely personal, driven by her own desires and self-perception rather than public approval or societal expectations.

“I made a personal decision about my body. I changed how I looked because I wanted to. Because I did not like how I looked before. I did it for me,” she stated.

Addressing ongoing speculation and judgment about her alleged Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), Salma emphasized that whether the change is “obvious or not” is irrelevant. What matters, she explained, is that the decision was hers and should be respected as such.

She stressed that she did not undergo the transformation to satisfy critics, trends, or anyone’s personal preference, making it clear that no one has the authority to dictate how she should look or live.

While acknowledging that people are entitled to their opinions, Salma strongly condemned the mockery, ridicule, and harsh judgment that often follow public figures online. She described such behavior as harmful and unacceptable, noting that persistent negativity can slowly erode a person’s peace and self-worth.

“What is not acceptable is turning personal opinions into cruelty, mockery, and constant judgment. No one deserves to be spoken about in ways that chip away at their peace and wellbeing,” she added.

The actress concluded her message with a call for greater awareness and compassion, urging the public to recognize the weight their words carry and to engage with more humanity—especially in the digital space where criticism spreads rapidly and unchecked.

“Enough has been said. I have done what I wanted for myself, and I deserve to live in peace with that choice.”

Salma Mumin’s statement has since sparked conversations online about body autonomy, cyberbullying, and the pressures faced by women in the entertainment industry, with many fans applauding her courage and honesty in addressing the issue head-on.

Morocco intensifies elite technical rebuild as Iniesta-linked talks signal long-term World Cup ambition

Morocco’s football ambitions have taken a decisive and symbolic turn as legendary Spanish midfielder Andrés Iniesta is reportedly nearing a move into a strategic role with the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF).

Andrés Iniesta nearing Morocco move.

Discussions between Iniesta’s representatives and Moroccan football authorities are understood to be progressing positively, with the former Barcelona and Spain icon expected to take on a high-level technical and advisory position within the national setup.

According to sources close to the talks, Iniesta’s potential roles could include Technical Director, a member of the senior national team’s technical staff, or a broader strategic advisor role focused on elite performance development.

Strategic Guidance for 2026 and Vision for 2030

Iniesta’s anticipated appointment is closely tied to Morocco’s preparation for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, where the Atlas Lions aim to build on their historic semi-final run at Qatar 2022. His experience at the highest levels of international football would provide invaluable insight into tactical planning, player development, and tournament management.

Beyond 2026, Iniesta is also expected to play a prominent role in Morocco’s 2030 FIFA World Cup project, with the country set to co-host the tournament alongside Spain and Portugal. His presence would symbolize a fusion of elite European football intelligence with Morocco’s growing global influence in the game.

Morocco’s Renewed Determination After AFCON Setback

Morocco’s aggressive technical restructuring comes in the aftermath of missing AFCON 2025, a setback that has clearly intensified the federation’s resolve to leave no stone unturned ahead of future global competitions.

The FRMF has already demonstrated its seriousness through heavy investment in grassroots infrastructure, coaching education, and international partnerships. Bringing in a football mind like Iniesta aligns perfectly with that long-term vision.

A Convergence of Vision and Elite Football DNA

Iniesta’s potential move reflects more than just an appointment — it represents a convergence of vision, structure, and elite football DNA. Widely regarded as one of the most intelligent midfielders of his generation, his understanding of possession football, game control, and high-pressure tournaments could redefine Morocco’s technical approach.

If finalized, the move would further cement Morocco’s status as one of Africa’s most strategically organized football nations, sending a clear message ahead of the next two World Cups: Morocco is not participating — Morocco is competing.

Claude Le Roy Calls on African Nations to Boycott 2026 FIFA World Cup in USA, Canada, and Mexico

Former Black Stars coach questions safety, political tensions, and Africa’s influence in global football decisions

Former Ghana Black Stars head coach Claude Le Roy has sparked intense debate after calling on African countries to boycott the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will be hosted jointly by the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

According to Le Roy, the political atmosphere surrounding the tournament—particularly in the United States—raises serious concerns about security, fairness, and the protection of players, officials, and fans, especially during matches involving countries considered geopolitical rivals.

The veteran French coach expressed worry about what he described as “war-like rhetoric” and heightened political tensions, questioning whether the safety of individuals can be fully guaranteed under such circumstances. He argued that football should unite nations, not be played in an environment clouded by hostility and global political posturing.

Le Roy’s comments come amid growing concerns across Africa following recent U.S. travel restrictions and entry bans, which have affected several countries, including some African nations. Critics argue that such policies could complicate logistics for teams, officials, and supporters participating in the tournament.

From an African football perspective, the former Black Stars coach believes the time has come for CAF and African football associations to take a firmer stance within FIFA. He suggests that opting out of the 2026 tournament could serve as a powerful statement, forcing global football authorities to take Africa’s concerns more seriously in decision-making processes.

Claude Le Roy

Supporters of Le Roy’s position argue that Africa has long contributed significantly to the global game yet remains underrepresented when it comes to hosting rights, governance influence, and major FIFA decisions. A coordinated boycott, they say, could finally give the continent a stronger negotiating voice.

However, others caution that withdrawing from the World Cup could deny African players a vital global platform and potentially harm the development and visibility of African football.

As discussions continue, Le Roy’s call has reignited broader conversations about politics in sport, global equity in football governance, and Africa’s role within FIFA ahead of the historic expanded 2026 World Cup.

Daddy Lumba Leaves No Registered Will, Estate Likely to Follow Intestate Laws

High Court Records Show No Last Will for Late Highlife Legend

Court documents from the Probate and Administration Division of the High Court in Accra reveal that the late highlife icon, Charles Kwadwo Fosuh (Daddy Lumba), did not leave behind a registered will.

An official registry search conducted on January 16, 2026, confirmed that there is no record of a Last Will and Testament in the name of Daddy Lumba. This development indicates that the late musician’s estate will likely be administered according to Ghana’s intestate succession laws, unless new legal documents are produced.

Daddy Lumba

The lack of a registered will could mean that the division of Daddy Lumba’s estate—comprising assets, royalties, and property—will follow statutory procedures, which typically prioritize spouses, children, and other close relatives. Legal experts note that intestate succession can sometimes lead to delays or disputes, especially for estates involving high-profile personalities with significant assets.

Nana Bediako Speaks Out on US$14.9 Million UK Judgment Debt, Denies Owing Money

Nana Bediako Speaks Out on US$14.9 Million UK Judgment Debt.

Prominent Ghanaian businessman and politician Nana Kwame Bediako, widely known as Cheddar, has finally spoken out amid widespread discussion over a US $14.9 million court judgment that is currently making headlines. His statement comes as the Accra High Court (Commercial Division) registered and enforced a foreign judgment from the United Kingdom against him, ordering the payment of the sum — plus interest and legal costs — to Cola Holdings Limited. 

In a public response, Bediako denied owing the debt personally, insisting that the matter relates to a loan contracted by a company where he and the creditor were shareholders, and not to him as an individual. He also claimed that his lawyers in the United Kingdom failed to file a defence, and that he has since instructed new legal counsel to appeal and resist enforcement of the judgment on grounds including alleged fraud and public policy. 

The assessment of the UK judgment in Ghana followed its registration in May 2025 — after Cola Holdings successfully obtained the ruling in London’s High Court of England and Wales in early 2025. Upon registration, the judgment became enforceable under Ghanaian law, a move that sparked debate and legal scrutiny. 

Bediako reiterated his belief in the rule of law and justice system in Ghana, expressing confidence that “truth will stand” once all legal avenues have been pursued. He has described the enforcement action against him as an attempt by the creditor to “abuse the court process” by seeking multiple recoveries of the same debt. 

The situation has generated significant public and media interest, with reactions spanning from political circles to business commentators. Some have raised questions about legal accountability and transparency in how foreign judgments are enforced locally, while others are watching closely for developments in Bediako’s legal strategy as the appeal unfolds.
