Ghana’s Antoine Semenyo continues his sensational start to life at Manchester City after getting on the scoresheet again, cementing his place among elite company in Premier League history.

The forward has now scored in four of his first five appearances for City in all competitions, a rare feat achieved only once before by Emmanuel Adebayor in 2009.

Antoine Semenyo celebrates another goal for Manchester City

Semenyo’s latest goal adds to an electric run that began shortly after his move, with his impact already evident in key matches including his Premier League strike against Wolves, detailed here. His debut goal and assist for Manchester City further underlined his immediate influence at the Etihad, as reported here.

What makes Semenyo’s rise even more remarkable is his raw, fearless style of play. His chaotic energy, physical dominance, and instinctive finishing have been described as a “God-given talent,” a trait explored in depth here. Fans and pundits alike believe this unpredictability is what makes him so difficult to defend against.

By joining Emmanuel Adebayor as the only players to score in four of their first five appearances for Manchester City since the Premier League’s inception in 1992-93, Semenyo has already written his name into the club’s modern history. According to Premier League data and match analysis from BBC Sport and Sky Sports, such efficiency at the start of a City career is exceptionally rare.

For Ghanaian fans, Semenyo’s form is a source of immense pride and growing excitement ahead of future international competitions. If this trajectory continues, the Black Stars forward could soon be one of the Premier League’s most feared attackers.

“This Should Not Be Used Against Anyone” – A Message of Party Unity

Assin Central MP and New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer hopeful, Ken Ohene Agyapong, has formally conceded defeat in the party’s presidential primaries, urging unity and reconciliation among party members. In a brief but conciliatory statement following the declaration of results, Agyapong said: “This should not be used against anyone in the party after a decision has been made. Let us come together as one and work in unity as party members.”

Bawumia’s Victory and Agyapong’s Statesmanlike Response

The concession comes after Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia secured a decisive victory in the NPP presidential primaries, a development detailed in GhanaMedia.net’s full report on the contest. Agyapong’s response has been widely praised by party faithful and political observers as a display of maturity and commitment to party cohesion ahead of the 2028 general elections.

Appeal Against Post-Primary Divisions

By stressing that campaign positions and internal contestations should not be weaponised after the primaries, Agyapong sought to calm tensions that typically follow highly competitive internal elections. His remarks echo recent calls across Ghana’s political and religious space for reflection and restraint, similar to the tone adopted by public figures such as Prophet Bernard Nelson-Eshun, who recently stepped back from public ministry for reflection and counsel.

Looking Ahead to the NPP’s Future

Despite conceding defeat, Agyapong remains a significant force within the NPP, with ongoing discussions about his future role in party strategy and leadership. Political analysts continue to speculate about his long-term influence, as captured in emerging debates on NPP’s post-primary dynamics and 2028 prospects. His call for unity is expected to play a key role in stabilising the party as it rallies behind its flagbearer.

As the NPP prepares for the next phase of national campaigning, Agyapong’s concession speech sets a reconciliatory tone, reinforcing the party’s emphasis on collective purpose over individual ambition.

Ghana–Wales Technical Partnership Takes Major Step Forward

Four Ghanaian coaches—Godwin Attram, Winfred Dormon, Fatawu Salifu, and Abdulai Gazale—departed Ghana this morning for Wales to participate in the UEFA B Licence Coaching Course organised by the Football Association of Wales (FAW). The programme forms part of an ongoing technical collaboration between the Ghana Football Association (GFA) and FAW, aimed at strengthening coach education, knowledge exchange, and long-term football development.

UEFA B Licence: A Major Milestone in Coaching Education

The UEFA B Licence is regarded as one of Europe’s most respected coaching qualifications, focusing on advanced tactical understanding, player development, performance analysis, and modern training methodologies. Participation in this course exposes Ghanaian coaches to elite European football structures, best practices, and innovative coaching philosophies that can be adapted to local football ecosystems.

Strengthening Ghana’s Technical Capacity

This initiative aligns with the GFA’s broader strategy to enhance the technical capacity of Ghanaian coaches at both club and national levels. By investing in internationally recognised coaching education, the GFA hopes to improve grassroots development, elite performance pathways, and overall competitiveness of Ghanaian football on the global stage.

International Collaboration Driving African Football Growth

The Ghana–Wales partnership reflects a growing trend of cross-continental collaboration in football development. Similar international engagements have seen African coaches and administrators benefit from European expertise, as highlighted in recent global football discussions and tournaments. Morocco’s Walid Regragui’s rise, celebrated in his AFCON 2025 coaching recognition, and expanding African scouting networks such as Dani Alves’ reported scouting links with Ghana and Nigeria, underline the continent’s increasing integration into global football systems.

Long-Term Vision for Ghana Football

Upon completion of the UEFA B Licence course, the four coaches are expected to return with enhanced technical expertise that will directly impact youth development, domestic leagues, and national team structures. The GFA believes such targeted international exposure is critical for sustaining football excellence and preparing Ghanaian coaches for future CAF and FIFA competitions.

This latest development marks another positive step in Ghana’s commitment to modernising its football framework through strategic international partnerships and elite-level coach education.

Apologies, Prophecies, and Politics: Ghana’s Public Space Enters a Noisy New Phase

It has been a remarkable and emotionally charged week in Ghana’s public space, one dominated by apologies, reversals, and deep public reflection across politics, media, and religion. From politicians to media personalities and religious leaders, several prominent figures have issued public apologies over comments, prophecies, and positions taken in recent weeks, signaling a rare moment of accountability in the national conversation.

img 4132

Apologies and prophecies collide in Ghana’s evolving political conversation

One of the most notable developments has been the decision by Prophet Bernard Nelson-Eshun to step back from public ministry, following intense public scrutiny over his failed prophecy regarding the New Patriotic Party’s internal presidential primaries. In a separate public address, the cleric openly admitted error and asked for forgiveness, acknowledging the weight such prophetic declarations carry in Ghana’s socio-political landscape, as detailed in his formal apology over the inaccurate NPP primaries prophecy.

Yet, even as some voices retreat and recalibrate, the political conversation has taken an intriguing turn. A number of pastors and media commentators have stepped forward with renewed confidence, boldly making predictions ahead of the NPP’s future internal contests. Several of these voices are forecasting a potential victory for Kennedy Ohene Agyapong over Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia should the two face off in any major internal showdown, reigniting debate across radio, television, and social media platforms.

The contrast is striking. While some public figures are walking back earlier statements, others are doubling down on political prophecies, once again blurring the lines between spiritual authority, media influence, and democratic choice. Analysts have noted that such declarations, while not determinative, often shape narratives, energize political bases, and heighten tensions long before a single ballot is cast, a phenomenon that has been widely observed in Ghana’s Fourth Republic and examined by international observers such as BBC News and Al Jazeera.

As history has consistently shown, predictions do not vote; delegates and citizens do. However, in Ghanaian politics, prophecy, commentary, and public declarations frequently influence perception, momentum, and voter psychology, often becoming as consequential as policy debates themselves. According to political analysts cited by Reuters, the battle for public perception now plays an increasingly central role in determining political fortunes.

One thing is clear: the road ahead is already noisy, emotionally charged, and unpredictable. And as Ghana inches toward its next major political contests, the real struggle may not only be fought at the polls, but in the relentless contest for credibility, influence, and control of the national narrative.

Renowned Ghanaian prophetic voice Bernard Elbernard Nelson-Eshun has announced his decision to voluntarily step back for a season from public teaching, preaching, and pulpit ministry to allow time for reflection, prayer, and counsel. The announcement follows his public apology over a prophecy concerning the New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential primaries that did not come to pass, a moment that sparked nationwide debate on prophetic accountability and spiritual leadership in Ghana.

In a reflective statement, Bernard acknowledged the weight of speaking with prophetic authority and emphasized the need for spiritual recalibration, humility, and restoration, echoing sentiments he previously expressed in his apology over the failed NPP primaries prophecy (read full apology here). His decision has drawn mixed reactions across religious and social media spaces, with some applauding his honesty and restraint, while others see it as a defining moment for prophetic credibility in Ghana’s public discourse.

The development comes amid a broader national conversation on prophecy, politics, and spirituality, especially as calls for prayer intensify following recent revelations and visions shared by Ghanaian voices at home and abroad, including Daniel Jeddman’s chilling vision urging Ghanaians worldwide to pray (details here).

Analysts note that Bernard Nelson-Eshun’s step back mirrors global religious trends where faith leaders choose reflection over visibility in times of controversy, a practice increasingly discussed by international outlets such as BBC Africa, Reuters Africa, and Al Jazeera Ghana. Whether temporary or transformative, his withdrawal marks a pivotal chapter in Ghana’s evolving relationship between faith, prophecy, and public accountability.

Prophet Bernard Elbernard Nelson-Eshun has issued a public apology after his prophetic declaration concerning the New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential primaries failed to materialise. The prophet had earlier stated through a book, videos, and multiple media interviews that Hon. Kennedy Ohene Agyapong would win the NPP primaries and emerge as the party’s flagbearer.

“I Missed It, I Was Wrong” – Prophet Bernard Takes Responsibility

In a solemn statement, Prophet Bernard admitted his error without reservation, stating that the prophetic word he delivered did not come to pass. He accepted full responsibility for the failed prophecy and apologised to the many people who trusted his declaration emotionally, spiritually, and politically. The apology follows increased public scrutiny of prophetic pronouncements in Ghana, similar to debates sparked after Nigel Gaisie’s comments on Pastor Elvis Agyemang’s Alpha Hour.

Apology to Believers in Ghana and Beyond

Prophet Bernard expressed deep remorse to believers in Ghana and across the world, acknowledging that some individuals made personal and political decisions based on his prophetic word. He stressed that he does not blame anyone and fully accepts that the prophecy failed as declared. His apology comes amid growing concerns over prophetic accountability, especially after controversies such as the arrest of Prophet Fire Oja over defamation allegations involving Mzbel.

Reflection, Accountability, and Realignment

The prophet stated that the incident has forced him into deep reflection and spiritual realignment, particularly in how prophetic revelations should be communicated publicly. He reaffirmed his commitment to integrity, truth, and growth, noting that correction offered in love has been instrumental in this season. His statement aligns with broader national conversations on Ghana’s prophetic direction, as explored in GhanaMedia.net’s 2026 Ghana Prophetic Outlook and Migration analysis.

Addressing Doubts About the Voice of God

Prophet Bernard also apologised to believers whose faith may have been shaken, clarifying that his mistake should not be seen as a failure of God’s voice but rather human error in discernment. This clarification echoes past warnings within prophetic circles, including moments like when Avram Moshe cautioned Prophet Roja on sensitive prophetic declarations.

Growing Calls for Prophetic Responsibility in Ghana

The apology has reignited public discourse on the role of prophecy in Ghana’s democratic process, especially during elections. Analysts and faith leaders continue to call for restraint, verification, and humility in prophetic messaging, particularly when national politics is involved. Similar discussions have been featured by major Ghanaian media platforms such as JoyNews, Citi Newsroom, and GhanaWeb.

Prophet Bernard concluded his statement by thanking those who continue to pray for him and those who corrected him in love, reaffirming his desire to walk in accountability and truth going forward.

Dr. Bawumia Wins NPP Presidential Primaries Against All Odds as Kennedy Agyapong Concedes Defeat

Former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has emerged victorious in the highly competitive New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential primaries, overcoming stiff resistance from multiple contenders to reclaim the party’s mandate ahead of the 2028 general elections. The outcome has sparked widespread national debate and is currently trending across Ghana, reflecting the scale and political significance of the victory.

Despite facing intense opposition, particularly from outspoken businessman and former Assin Central MP Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, Dr. Bawumia’s campaign demonstrated strong nationwide organisation and delegate confidence. While Agyapong secured notable grassroots wins — including his decisive performance in Assin Central as reported by GhanaMedia.net — the overall delegate count favoured Bawumia’s broader national appeal.

In a move widely praised by political analysts and party faithful, Kennedy Agyapong conceded defeat shortly after the results were confirmed. His calm and respectful concession speech, calling for unity and discipline within the NPP, has been described as a critical step toward stabilising the party following a fiercely contested primary season. Previous controversies surrounding endorsements, including claims firmly denied by religious bodies such as the SDA Church, had earlier heightened tensions during the race (read more).

Dr. Bawumia’s victory is particularly significant given his defeat in the 2024 general elections. Political observers see this comeback as evidence of enduring trust among party delegates and a renewed belief in his economic and digital transformation agenda. Attention is now shifting to how the NPP positions itself for 2028, as internal dynamics and strategic calculations take centre stage (full analysis here).

As the dust settles, calls for unity have grown louder across the party, with senior figures urging supporters of all candidates to rally behind the flagbearer. With the NPP preparing for a tough electoral battle ahead, Dr. Bawumia’s ability to consolidate support from former rivals — including Kennedy Agyapong — may prove decisive in shaping the party’s fortunes in the next national elections.

Ghana winger Kamaldeen Sulemana was left on the bench as Atalanta produced a ruthless performance to secure a commanding 4-0 victory over Parma in their latest Serie A encounter. Despite the emphatic win, Sulemana’s absence from the starting lineup continues a worrying trend, with his last start for the club dating back to 1 November 2024.

Kamaldeen Sulemana looks on as Atalanta dominate Parma in Serie A action.

Atalanta dominated proceedings from start to finish, showcasing their attacking depth and tactical discipline against a helpless Parma side. The Bergamo-based club took early control of the game, pressing aggressively and converting chances with clinical efficiency, leaving little room for a Parma comeback.

Kamaldeen Sulemana, who joined Atalanta amid high expectations following his explosive displays at club and international level, watched the match unfold from the sidelines. His prolonged spell without a start has sparked conversations among fans and analysts about his role in Gian Piero Gasperini’s setup, especially as Atalanta continue to rotate heavily across competitions.

The Ghana international remains highly rated for his pace, direct dribbling, and ability to unsettle defenders—qualities that could prove vital as the season intensifies. Sulemana’s long-term importance to Ghana’s national team has also been highlighted by analysts, including Daniel Jeddman’s prediction of Ghana’s potential 2026 World Cup success, where players like Sulemana are tipped to play decisive roles.

While Atalanta fans celebrate another dominant league display, attention now shifts to whether Sulemana can reclaim a starting berth in upcoming fixtures. With fixture congestion and injuries always a factor, opportunities may soon arise for the winger to reassert himself.

Elsewhere in Ghanaian football circles, moments of inspiration continue to emerge, including Andre Ayew’s emotional reunion with former striker Mathew Amoah, reminding fans of the enduring legacy and unity within Ghana’s football fraternity.

As Atalanta march forward in Serie A, all eyes will be on Kamaldeen Sulemana’s next move—whether from the bench or back into the starting eleven—amid growing scrutiny from both Italian and Ghanaian football audiences.

For broader context on Atalanta’s Serie A campaign and tactical evolution, ESPN’s European football coverage offers deep insight into the club’s current form, while GhanaSoccerNet continues to track the progress of Ghanaian players abroad across Europe’s top leagues.

Assin Central has emerged as a key battleground in the ongoing 2026 NPP Presidential Primaries, with early reports indicating that Kennedy Agyapong secured a significant win over main contender Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia. The outcome from the constituency is already stirring conversations within the New Patriotic Party (NPP), as party faithful closely monitor regional performances that could shape the broader direction of the race.

Assin Central Results Spark Momentum for Kennedy Agyapong

Political observers note that Assin Central has long been considered a stronghold for Kennedy Agyapong, making his performance in the area a critical indicator of his grassroots influence. Delegates in the constituency reportedly turned out in large numbers, reflecting heightened interest in the primaries and the future leadership of the party.

The Assin Central victory is expected to strengthen Agyapong’s campaign narrative as a candidate with strong appeal among the party base. Analysts suggest that such constituency-level wins could play a decisive role in shaping perceptions ahead of the national delegate congress.

NPP Primaries Grow Increasingly Competitive

The contest between Kennedy Agyapong and Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has been widely described as one of the most competitive internal races in the NPP’s history. Both candidates have been actively engaging delegates, highlighting their visions for the party and Ghana’s future. Earlier reports and political projections have already fueled debates about the possible direction of the party, as explored in this analysis on NPP primaries and emerging speculations.

Party insiders believe that ballot positioning and debate performances could also influence outcomes across various regions, a topic previously discussed in detail regarding the NPP primary ballot order and candidate debates.

Internal Party Dynamics and National Attention

The heightened political atmosphere surrounding the primaries has also drawn attention to broader internal party dynamics. Conversations about leadership, loyalty, and party unity continue to dominate discussions, especially following revelations from influential party figures, including when Chairman Wontumi shared his controversial EOCO custody experience, which sparked debates within political circles.

Meanwhile, major Ghanaian news platforms such as GhanaWeb, Citi Newsroom, and JoyNews continue to provide extensive coverage and analysis on the evolving NPP primaries, reflecting the national importance of the race.

What This Means for the NPP Moving Forward

While constituency victories like Assin Central carry symbolic and strategic importance, political experts caution that the overall outcome of the primaries will depend on broader regional performances and delegate decisions nationwide. Nevertheless, Kennedy Agyapong’s strong showing in Assin Central adds momentum to his campaign and intensifies the competition with Dr. Bawumia.

As the NPP moves closer to selecting its presidential candidate for the 2026 elections, party unity and strategic positioning will remain crucial factors. Political watchers across Ghana and beyond will be paying close attention to how subsequent results shape the final outcome of what is already shaping up to be a historic primary contest.
