Former Ghana Boxing Authority (GBA) President Amin Lamptey has revealed that late boxer Balubali was declared unfit for professional bouts long before his death. According to Lamptey, medical checks showed that Balubali had overused his body and suffered damage to vital areas including the neck, elbows, shoulders, and brain.

He disclosed that a specialist had even advised Balubali not to fight this year due to exhaustion from years of intense training and competition. Unfortunately, Balubali and his team reportedly ignored these warnings and, at one point, verbally attacked the former GBA president for refusing to grant him a license after rejecting an alleged “token.”
Lamptey described the boxer’s final fight, a technical knockout loss to Bright, as a fatal risk that could have been avoided if medical advice had been followed. He stressed the need for stricter enforcement of comprehensive health screenings for Ghanaian boxers to prevent such tragedies in the future.
The revelation has reignited debate over the safety standards within Ghana’s boxing fraternity and the extent to which regulatory bodies can enforce medical safeguards to protect athletes.
Popular radio host Nana Romeo has advised Member of Parliament for Ningo-Prampram, Sam George, to shift his attention from pay-TV battles to addressing LGBT matters. Speaking on his show, Nana Romeo argued that the lawmaker has gained widespread recognition for his strong stance against LGBTQ+ advocacy in Ghana, and that his energy would be better spent reinforcing that fight rather than challenging satellite television operators like DStv.

The broadcaster’s comments come after Sam George recently intensified his criticism of MultiChoice, operators of DStv and GOtv, over subscription policies and alleged unfair treatment of Ghanaian customers. Nana Romeo, however, suggested that while consumer rights are important, the MP’s influence is more impactful when directed toward the cultural and moral debates that resonate deeply with the Ghanaian public.
His statement has since sparked mixed reactions among listeners, with some supporting the call for Sam George to remain focused on the LGBT debate, while others insist that lawmakers must address a wide range of national concerns, including consumer exploitation.

Renowned Ghanaian actor Kofi Adjorlolo has made revelations that may surprise many, especially regarding the ongoing controversy surrounding the so-called “Igbo Kingdom” in Ghana.
While public debate continues, with many Ghanaians expressing outrage over the alleged establishment of an Igbo monarchy in the country, Adjorlolo appears unfazed. Instead, he chose to highlight the Igbo leader’s contributions to the Ghanaian film industry.

Speaking in a recent podcast interview, the veteran actor recounted personal experiences of how the leader, popularly referred to as Eze Ndibu, has supported the creative arts.
“We were shooting in Eze Ndibu’s house. Eze Ndibu, here in Ghana? Yes, he produced the film. That man has helped us a lot. He has helped the industry a lot. I don’t care what people talk about him. He has invested and sponsored films in Ghana. Yes, and that’s what people don’t know. Let’s leave all these matters of Igbo Kingdom aside. I don’t have anything to do with that thing at all. I don’t care. I don’t want to even know. But for what I know him for, is the fact that he has helped our industry. He’s given his house for us to shoot films. He’s given his cars for us to shoot. Yes.”
Adjorlolo’s bold remarks shift attention from the controversies to the tangible support the Igbo leader has reportedly provided. According to him, beyond the debates about tradition and recognition, the creative industry has benefited from resources such as film sponsorships, locations, and logistics provided by the Igbo leader.
The revelations may spark a new dimension to the conversation: Should Ghanaians continue to resist the idea of an Igbo kingdom, or will acknowledgment of these contributions soften public perception?
