The IMF support arrangement — a three-year, US $3 billion Extended Credit Facility — was designed to stabilise Ghana’s economy after a deep crisis that saw inflation skyrocket and public finances strained.

A moment of anger, pity, and reflection sparks conversation on parenting and discipline

A Ghanaian mother has taken to the public space to seek advice after an emotional parenting moment left her conflicted and uncertain about the right course of action.

According to the mother, she asked her young daughter to boil five cups of beans for dinner, which was to be eaten with ripe plantain. She then left the house for approximately three hours to attend to errands. Upon her return, she found the child fast asleep, still holding a bowl of unpicked beans, with no cooking done.

The mother admitted that she initially felt angry and stepped out to get a cane with the intention of flogging the child for disobedience and negligence. However, she said that when she returned and looked closely at her daughter’s face, she was overwhelmed with pity and compassion, causing her to abandon the idea of punishment.

Now confused about how to properly address the situation, the mother says she is seeking guidance on what to do next—whether to discipline the child, counsel her gently, or take another approach altogether.

The story has since opened a broader discussion on parenting styles in Ghana, especially the balance between discipline, emotional understanding, and effective communication with children. Many believe such moments present opportunities for teaching responsibility without instilling fear, while others argue that consistent discipline remains important.

The mother has invited parents, guardians, and the general public to share their thoughts and experiences, hoping to gain clarity and make a better decision going forward.

The Journey and Struggles Behind One of Ghana’s Leading Media Platforms

Bright Owusu Adamson, the founder of Modern Ghana News, has become one of the most influential figures in Ghana’s digital and broadcast media space. What started as a simple online news portal has grown into a multimedia news brand with strong followings both in Ghana and across the diaspora.

How Bright Owusu Adamson Created Modern Ghana News Website and Radio and His Challenges 30

Adamson launched Modern Ghana in the early 2000s with the simple goal of providing timely, accurate, and Ghana‑centered news to a growing online audience. At a time when internet news in Ghana was still in its infancy, he recognized the opportunity to build a platform that could serve both local readers and Ghanaians abroad who were eager for dependable updates about home.

The Modern Ghana website quickly became known for its broad coverage from politics and business to entertainment and sports. Its clean design and rapid posting of breaking news helped it gain traction among Ghana’s online communities. Over time, this digital audience paved the way for expansion into radio broadcasting, where Adamson capitalized on his brand’s credibility and reach.

However, the journey was not without serious challenges. In the early years, infrastructure limitations, inconsistent internet access, and financial constraints made it difficult to scale. Advertising revenue was limited, and many local businesses were hesitant to invest in online ads, slowing revenue growth. As the platform expanded into radio, regulatory hurdles and licensing costs added another layer of complexity.

Adamson also faced the broader challenge of maintaining editorial independence in a crowded media landscape where political pressures and misinformation can influence public discourse. Ensuring credible reporting while competing with fast‑breaking but unverified social media content required a strong editorial policy and dedication to journalistic standards.

Despite these challenges, Modern Ghana persevered. Through strategic partnerships, diversification of revenue streams, and a loyal audience base, the brand carved out a lasting place in Ghana’s media industry. Today, Modern Ghana News continues to operate as both a respected online news portal and a radio presence, a testament to Adamson’s vision and resilience.

As he reflected in recent interviews, “It was not easy building something from nothing. But staying true to quality and consistency made the difference.”
