Addressing the squad in a relaxed atmosphere, Ibrahim Mahama said he had been impressed by what he had seen from the team so far.
“I See Good Performances”
According to Mahama, the Black Stars have shown encouraging signs and deserve recognition for their commitment. He applauded the players’ attitude and urged them to remain focused on delivering another strong performance for Ghana.
During his address, he jokingly remarked: “I see a good performance… so clap for me!”, drawing laughter and applause from the players and officials gathered inside the team’s meeting room.
Special Bonus Beyond Government Incentives
Perhaps the biggest moment came when the renowned businessman announced that, in addition to any bonuses promised by the Government of Ghana, he personally intended to reward the players.
“Aside from the Government bonus, I have a very special bonus for you. I have a much better bonus for you than the taxpayers.“
The statement immediately generated excitement among members of the squad, with several players smiling and applauding the announcement.
A Major Morale Boost
The visit comes as the Black Stars continue preparations for their next international assignment. Financial incentives have historically been used to motivate Ghana’s national team before major matches, although performances on the pitch ultimately remain the biggest priority for supporters.
With experienced leaders such as Jordan Ayew in the squad alongside emerging talents including Christopher Opoku and other promising players, hopes remain high that Ghana can continue its recent positive momentum.
Why This Story Matters
Beyond the financial aspect, Ibrahim Mahama’s visit reflects increasing support from influential members of Ghana’s private sector for the national team. Such gestures can strengthen team morale, reduce external pressure and reinforce national unity as the Black Stars pursue success on the international stage.
An 18-year-old WASSCE candidate from Notre Dame Girls Senior High School in Ghana’s Bono Region has tragically died shortly after completing her final examination paper, leaving classmates, teachers and the wider public in mourning.
Notre Dame Girls SHS student dies shortly after completing final WASSCE paper.
The student, identified as Jacinta Phiapre Kubi Appiah, reportedly collapsed soon after finishing her last WASSCE examination on Thursday. She was rushed to the Seventh-day Adventist Hospital at Fiapre, near Sunyani, where medical personnel sadly pronounced her dead.
Student reportedly returned from hospital to complete final examination
According to reports circulating on Thursday, Jacinta had reportedly been admitted to the same hospital before being allowed to return to campus to sit her final examination paper. After successfully completing the paper, she collapsed shortly afterwards.
The exact medical cause of her death has not yet been officially disclosed. Authorities and her family are yet to release further details regarding the circumstances leading to the tragedy.
School community thrown into mourning
The heartbreaking news has sent shockwaves through Notre Dame Girls Senior High School, classmates, teachers, parents and many Ghanaians who have expressed sorrow across social media.
Many have described the incident as one of the most heartbreaking moments of this year’s WASSCE examinations, noting that what should have marked the beginning of a new chapter in Jacinta’s life instead became a day of unimaginable loss.
Calls for patience as official details emerge
While several reports have circulated online regarding Jacinta’s health before the examination, no official medical statement has yet confirmed the exact cause of death. Authorities are expected to provide additional information once investigations and medical assessments are completed.
Why this story matters
The incident has renewed conversations about student health, medical support during national examinations and the importance of ensuring candidates experiencing serious illness receive appropriate care throughout examination periods. It also serves as a painful reminder of how quickly lives can change and has prompted an outpouring of sympathy from across Ghana.
Medical scientist and health educator Yeboah Agyekum Francis has sparked another major conversation on social media after explaining why many men lose their erection immediately after the first round of sexual activity. His latest educational video has attracted significant engagement as he breaks down what happens inside the male body after ejaculation using simple scientific explanations. According to Francis, the phenomenon is completely normal for most healthy men and should not immediately be mistaken for sexual weakness or erectile dysfunction. 👉🏽 Join 15,000+ readers online now. Join our WhatsApp Daily News Channel for breaking updates.
Understanding the Refractory Period
Francis explains that after the first ejaculation, the body naturally enters what scientists call the refractory period—a recovery phase during which achieving another erection becomes difficult or temporarily impossible. During this time, hormonal and neurological changes occur, including the release of prolactin and shifts in neurotransmitters that temporarily suppress sexual arousal. Medical experts note that the duration of this recovery period varies widely between individuals. It can last only a few minutes in some younger men but several hours or even longer in others, especially with increasing age.
Yeboah Agyekum Francis explains the science behind post-ejaculation recovery.
Age, Health and Lifestyle Matter
The Ghanaian medical scientist emphasizes that age is only one factor. Physical fitness, stress levels, sleep quality, chronic illnesses, medications, alcohol intake and overall cardiovascular health all influence how quickly the body recovers after ejaculation. Men living healthier lifestyles often experience better sexual performance and faster recovery than those dealing with obesity, diabetes, smoking or high stress.
Not Every Delay Is Erectile Dysfunction
One of Francis’ key messages is that many men unnecessarily panic after experiencing temporary loss of erection following intercourse. He notes that this is usually part of normal male physiology rather than a disease. However, if a man consistently struggles to achieve or maintain erections even before ejaculation or notices persistent changes over time, professional medical assessment is recommended.
Why the Topic Resonated Online
The video has generated widespread discussion because it addresses a subject many men experience but rarely discuss openly. By presenting scientific information in accessible language, Francis continues his growing series of public health education videos aimed at correcting myths surrounding men’s health and sexual wellbeing. His educational content has gained a substantial audience across social media platforms.
Why This Story Matters
Sexual health misinformation remains widespread across Africa and beyond. Educational discussions backed by science can help reduce stigma, encourage men to seek medical advice when necessary and improve public understanding of normal human physiology.

A touching moment has captured the hearts of Ghanaian football fans after Inaki Williams’ mother and his younger brother, Nico Williams, joined Ghana’s Black Stars players through a live video call while the team travelled together.
Inaki Williams shares emotional family video call with Ghana’s Black Stars.
The emotional interaction saw Inaki Williams proudly introducing his family to teammates aboard the team bus, with smiles and laughter filling the atmosphere. Nico Williams, who represents Spain internationally, appeared alongside their mother, making the moment even more special for football fans following the Williams family’s remarkable journey.
A Family United Despite Different International Paths
Although Inaki Williams represents Ghana while Nico Williams plays for Spain, the brothers have consistently demonstrated mutual love and respect. Their family’s support has remained unwavering, regardless of the different national teams they represent.
The video call offered Black Stars supporters a rare glimpse into the close-knit Williams family, highlighting the strong family values that continue to define both football stars.
Black Stars Bond Continues to Grow
The relaxed atmosphere inside the Black Stars camp reflects the unity being built within the squad. Moments like these often strengthen team spirit away from the pitch as Ghana prepares for upcoming international assignments.
The heartwarming clip quickly attracted praise across social media, with many Ghanaian fans celebrating the Williams family’s continued connection with the Black Stars.
Why This Story Matters
Football is often about more than results. Family support, togetherness and positive dressing-room relationships can play an important role in building confidence and unity within a national team. The Williams family’s gesture has become another memorable chapter in Ghana football.
Israeli-British illusionist and self-proclaimed psychic Uri Geller has reignited one of football’s most unusual rivalries by publicly challenging Ghanaian spiritualist Nana Kwaku Bonsam, declaring that any alleged spiritual attack against England captain Harry Kane would fail because his own “powers are stronger.”
Uri Geller revives bizarre Harry Kane ‘curse’ feud with Nana Kwaku Bonsam.
Speaking in a video shared online before England’s clash with Ghana, Geller addressed Nana Kwaku Bonsam directly, saying:
“You’re a witch doctor, and you said you cursed Harry Kane. No, you can’t, because my powers are stronger than yours. You are cancelled. You won’t be able to do anything.”
The remarks revive a bizarre football storyline that first captured global headlines during previous meetings involving Ghana and England.
The Harry Kane ‘Curse’ Story
Nana Kwaku Bonsam has, on several occasions over the years, claimed responsibility for using spiritual powers to influence football matches and players. One of his most famous claims involved Harry Kane, whom he allegedly targeted with a curse before an international fixture.
Uri Geller responded by insisting he had spiritually protected Kane and neutralized any alleged supernatural influence, arguing that England’s captain would remain unaffected.
Football Meets Spiritual Claims
While such statements often generate enormous discussion on social media, there is no scientific evidence supporting claims that spiritual curses influence football matches. FIFA competitions are decided under the Laws of the Game, with outcomes determined by performances on the pitch.
Nevertheless, the exchange has become part of football folklore, especially among Ghanaian supporters, where Nana Kwaku Bonsam has long been associated with dramatic public declarations before major matches.
Fans React Online
The latest comments have once again divided opinion online. Some supporters view the exchange as harmless entertainment designed to build excitement before a high-profile fixture, while others see it as an unnecessary distraction from the football itself.
Regardless of differing opinions, the unusual back-and-forth has once again placed Ghanaian football culture in the international spotlight ahead of another eagerly anticipated encounter with England.
A new viral audio circulating across Ghanaian social media has intensified public discussions surrounding the marriage of gospel musician Florence Obinim and her husband, founder of International God’s Way Church, Bishop Daniel Obinim. The recording captures an emotionally charged online discussion in which several outspoken supporters of Florence passionately defend her while openly mocking the controversial preacher.
The heated exchange, which has quickly spread across TikTok, Facebook and other social media platforms, features repeated chants of “Shwualenge”, a phrase users have turned into a symbol of ridicule and public embarrassment. The audio has generated thousands of reactions, with many Ghanaians debating the latest development in the couple’s widely discussed relationship.
Florence Obinim Defenders Mock Angel Obinim in Explosive Viral 'Shwualenge' Audio as Social Media Erupts 9
The Viral ‘Shwualenge’ Chant Dominates the Conversation
The most memorable part of the recording is the repeated chant directed at Bishop Obinim. Participants repeatedly sing “Shwualenge o! Obinim nim na Shwualenge o!”, using the phrase to suggest that the preacher has been publicly embarrassed and that his confidence has been shattered.
Although the chant has become a trending meme across social media, supporters use it in the recording as a direct response to previous public controversies involving the bishop.
Supporters Defend Florence Obinim
Throughout the audio, the speakers strongly defend Florence Obinim, insisting she deserves respect regardless of the ongoing public speculation surrounding her marriage.
Several participants accuse Bishop Obinim of failing to provide adequately for his wife and point to an alleged luxury vehicle as evidence that someone else—not the preacher—has been supporting her. These claims remain allegations made by speakers in the viral discussion and have not been independently verified.
Spiritual Warnings Rejected
Another striking aspect of the discussion is the refusal by participants to be intimidated by Bishop Obinim’s reputation for issuing spiritual warnings to critics.
One speaker boldly declares that any battle not founded on Christ will ultimately fail, insisting they have no fear of spiritual intimidation. The repeated declarations of confidence have become one of the audio’s most talked-about moments.
Social Media Reacts
The recording has sparked intense debate across Ghanaian social media, with opinions sharply divided. While some users applaud Florence Obinim’s defenders for speaking boldly, others argue that the increasingly personal attacks risk worsening an already sensitive family matter.
Regardless of where public opinion falls, the viral discussion demonstrates how quickly personal disputes involving high-profile public figures can dominate Ghana’s digital conversation.
Why This Story Matters
The Obinim family remains one of Ghana’s most recognised religious and entertainment households. As public conversations increasingly unfold on social media rather than traditional media, viral recordings such as this continue to shape public perception, fuel online engagement and influence national conversations. Whether the controversy escalates further remains to be seen, but the “Shwualenge” chant has already become one of the latest viral talking points across Ghana.
A British Airways First Officer, Kwame Yeboah, 30, has been sentenced to nine years and four months in prison after pleading guilty to raping a 12-year-old girl whom he groomed through Instagram before travelling hundreds of kilometres to meet her. The shocking case has attracted widespread attention in the United Kingdom and internationally, highlighting the growing dangers of online child grooming and sexual exploitation.
According to prosecutors, the victim initially claimed online that she was 17 years old. However, conversations about school and photographs showing her in school uniform made it clear that she was a young child. Despite these warning signs, Yeboah continued communicating with her before arranging a meeting in person.
Journey Ended in a Horrific Crime
The court heard that Yeboah travelled from Reading to Merseyside in February 2026 to meet the child. After picking her up, he drove her to a secluded area where he raped her three times before taking her home. Days later, a concerned friend informed the girl’s mother, who immediately contacted police. Investigators quickly identified Yeboah through details he had shared with the victim during their online conversations. Faced with overwhelming evidence, he pleaded guilty to rape and one count of sexual assault. The court also imposed a 15-year restraining order preventing any future contact with the victim.
British Airways Responds
British Airways expressed sympathy for the victim and her family, describing the crimes as “sickening” while stressing that Yeboah’s actions were entirely his own. The airline strongly condemned the offences and reaffirmed its commitment to safeguarding the public.
Dream Career Destroyed
Before joining British Airways, Yeboah had publicly spoken about achieving his lifelong dream of becoming a commercial pilot after being inspired by travelling on British Airways flights between Ghana and the United Kingdom during childhood. He had also worked for West Atlantic and participated in Basketball England activities. His conviction has permanently destroyed a career that once inspired many aspiring aviation professionals.
Why This Story Matters
This case serves as another stark reminder that online grooming remains one of the greatest threats facing children today. It also demonstrates that individuals holding respected professional positions can still commit serious crimes and will ultimately be held accountable under the law. Parents are encouraged to remain vigilant about children’s online activities, maintain open conversations about internet safety, and report suspicious behaviour to law enforcement authorities immediately.
Growing Global Concern Over Online Grooming
Child protection experts continue to warn that social media platforms have become common tools used by predators to establish relationships with children before committing abuse. Authorities worldwide encourage parents, schools and technology companies to work together to improve digital safety education and strengthen reporting mechanisms. Cases such as this reinforce the importance of safeguarding children both online and offline.
Popular Ghanaian preacher Prophet Roja has triggered widespread debate after making a startling prophecy concerning media personality and political commentator Okatakyie Afrifa Mensah.
During a live broadcast on Ahenfie TV, the founder and leader of Roja City International Ministry claimed he saw Okatakyie Afrifa “inside a coffin” in a spiritual revelation, prompting calls for prayers and sparking intense reactions across social media.
The remarks quickly spread online after screenshots and clips of the prophecy circulated. Some social media users linked the comments to recent controversies surrounding the outspoken broadcaster, while others urged caution and called for prayers rather than speculation.
One viral post questioned whether enemies within the political system could be targeting the outspoken presenter, though no evidence has been presented to support such claims.
Okatakyie Afrifa Remains Influential
Okatakyie Afrifa Mensah has become one of Ghana’s most influential political voices, often addressing governance, corruption and national affairs. His commentary has earned him both strong supporters and critics.
Despite the prophecy generating heated conversations, there has been no official response from Okatakyie Afrifa regarding the claims made by Prophet Roja.
Mixed Reactions from Ghanaians
While many believers view prophetic revelations as warnings intended to inspire prayer, others have urged the public not to spread fear or misinformation.
The comments have reignited discussions about the role of prophecy in public discourse and the responsibilities that come with making such declarations concerning prominent figures.
Black Stars goalkeeper Benjamin Asare’s journey to the top of Ghanaian football is one built on resilience, sacrifice, and an unwavering passion for the beautiful game. Long before becoming one of the most reliable shot-stoppers in the Ghana Premier League and earning national team recognition, Asare dreamed of becoming a striker.
Benjamin Asare’s incredible journey from striker to Black Stars goalkeeper was inspired by Manuel Neuer.
Like many young footballers, he imagined himself scoring goals and becoming one of the finest finishers in the world. However, fate had a different path prepared for him.
Benjamin Asare began his football journey as an attacker. But during one particular match, his coaches made a decision that would change his life forever. He was placed in goal and immediately impressed everyone with his remarkable reflexes and ability to make crucial saves.
That moment transformed his career. His understanding of football changed, and so did the players he admired.
While studying the world’s greatest goalkeepers, one man stood out above all others — Bayern Munich and Germany legend Manuel Neuer.
Asare became fascinated by Neuer’s composure, leadership, and revolutionary style of goalkeeping. Every spectacular save made by the German captain became a lesson for the Ghanaian goalkeeper, who carefully studied his techniques and incorporated them into his own game.
A Career Nearly Ended by Injury
The road to success was far from easy.
About three years ago, Asare suffered a devastating leg injury just after receiving his first major opportunity. The setback kept him away from football for nearly two years.
Many would have given up, but Asare refused to surrender his dream.
“I wanted to give up at some point, but I was encouraged to continue. Football is my passion,” he revealed.
After recovering, he announced his return in spectacular fashion during the GHALCA Top Six Tournament, surprising many observers with his performances.
The Best Goalkeeper in the Ghana Premier League
Since returning from injury, Benjamin Asare has established himself as one of the finest goalkeepers in Ghana.
During his impressive campaign with Great Olympics, he recorded 13 clean sheets — a figure unmatched by any goalkeeper in the league at the time.
Despite his achievements, the 31-year-old remains humble and credits much of his success to his trainers, including Rashid Noti and Ola Lake Kingston, who continue to guide and improve his game.
“Whether we win or lose, I always try to give my maximum effort. I thank my trainers for helping me in my journey,” Asare said.
Black Stars Recognition and Bigger Dreams
His consistency eventually earned him a place with Ghana’s senior national team, where he has continued to impress supporters with his calmness and confidence.
The goalkeeper still dreams of winning trophies and bringing glory to his clubs and country. His story remains one of Ghanaian football’s greatest examples of perseverance.
From an injured player contemplating retirement to becoming one of Ghana’s most dependable goalkeepers and a devoted student of Manuel Neuer, Benjamin Asare’s remarkable rise proves that dreams can survive even the toughest setbacks.
His journey is still being written, and perhaps the best chapters are yet to come.
