Ghana’s Minister of Education, Haruna Iddrisu, has issued a firm warning to parents who treat secondary school education as a fashion or beauty contest. He emphasized that Senior High Schools (SHS) are institutions of learning and discipline—not runways for fashion shows.
Education Minister Haruna Iddrisu Warns Parents: SHS Is Not a Beauty Contest 4
“Any parent who thinks their child can walk into an SHS as if it were a beauty contest should think again. School is not designed for that purpose, it will not be tolerated,” he cautioned.
The minister’s statement comes amid growing concerns over inappropriate dressing and attitudes among some students, especially during school admissions and orientation periods. He stressed the importance of maintaining the country’s educational standards, saying students must prioritize discipline, academic excellence, and moral values.
He further urged school authorities to strictly enforce dress codes and uphold the integrity of the educational environment. Parents were also encouraged to play a more active role in guiding their children to respect school rules and Ghanaian cultural values.
The Education Ministry has reiterated its commitment to ensuring that SHS remains a place of academic development, character building, and preparation for the future—not a platform for fashion displays.
A powerful statement has gone viral, stirring deep conversations across social media: “If you live in a country where help is needed and you don’t help, you are stupid. You can’t be the richest man in the cemetery.”
“You Can’t Be the Richest Man in the Cemetery” — A Strong Message on Humanity and Responsibility 6
The message is a blunt reminder that wealth without compassion is meaningless. In many African countries, communities face challenges daily — from poverty and unemployment to poor healthcare and educational systems. In times like these, individual acts of kindness can make a tremendous difference.
This quote reflects a growing sentiment among citizens urging the privileged to invest not only in businesses and luxury but also in humanity. It challenges the rich and powerful to think beyond personal gain and focus on building a legacy that will outlive them.
“Money loses its value when it is buried with you,” one user wrote online. “Real wealth is in how many lives you impact while you’re alive.”
This statement continues to resonate across platforms, inspiring calls for generosity, community development, and social responsibility.
A heartbreaking story has emerged involving a woman who returned home only to discover that the apartments she worked tirelessly to build while abroad were secretly transferred to her brothers by her own mother.
Woman in Tears as Family Betrays Her: Property She Built Abroad Transferred to Brothers 8
According to reports, the woman had entrusted her mother with the responsibility of overseeing the construction of her property, sending money regularly to ensure the building was completed. However, after the project was finished, the property was shockingly registered in her brothers’ names without her knowledge or consent.
Upon confronting her family, she was allegedly locked out of the house and told to “do whatever she wants.” Her brothers reportedly justified their actions by accusing her of living a glamorous life abroad while they struggled in the village.
The woman, now devastated and seeking justice, says every brick of that house came from her sweat, long working hours, and countless sacrifices. This story has sparked a broader conversation online about family betrayal, property ownership, and the importance of legal documentation.
A cloud of uncertainty hangs over Ghana’s women’s national team as the Ghana Black Queens have reportedly boycotted training ahead of their crucial second-leg qualifier against Egypt women’s national football team in the 2026 Africa Women Cup of Nations qualification.
Black Queens Boycott Training Over Unpaid Bonuses Ahead of Egypt Clash 10
According to credible sources, the players are owed unpaid bonuses of $9,500 each from previous matches and have refused to train until the situation is resolved. This development comes at a critical time, with the decisive fixture against Egypt just days away.
The team had been scheduled for a closed-door training session in Accra, but only technical staff and officials showed up, leaving the session in limbo. The protest highlights a long-standing issue of delayed payments and lack of proper welfare for female national team players in Ghana.
“We love our country, but we also deserve respect. We have families to take care of,” a senior player reportedly said.
The Ghana Football Association is yet to officially respond to the situation, though sources say emergency talks are underway to avert a possible crisis before the match.
The Black Queens, who won the first leg against Egypt, risk losing their momentum if the standoff continues. Fans across the country have expressed frustration over the recurring issue of unpaid bonuses for national team players.

According to Avram, Prophet Roja has built a reputation for inserting himself into conversations surrounding the deaths of high-profile personalities in Ghana. He alleged that the self-acclaimed prophet often claims to have foreseen such tragedies, stirring heated debates among Ghanaians.
“Anytime a prominent person passes away in this country, Roja comes out with some so-called prophecies. I want to caution him this time — this is not the time or the case to use Nana Konadu’s name for clout,” Avram said in a live discussion on social media.
The warning comes just days after the nation was thrown into mourning following the death of the former First Lady and stateswoman. Many Ghanaians have expressed their grief and paid glowing tributes to her decades of service to the country.
Avram Moshe further emphasized the need to respect the dignity and legacy of the late Nana Konadu, urging the public and religious leaders to refrain from insensitive statements.
“This is about respect and decency. We should not entertain people who want to trend off someone’s pain,” he added.
Meanwhile, Prophet Roja is yet to publicly respond to Avram Moshe’s statement.

Athenea del Castillo, one of Spain’s most talented footballers, has shared a deeply emotional confession about her private life, revealing a side far removed from the glamour of fame.
In an honest and vulnerable statement, the 24-year-old athlete said:
“Men don’t approach me, they don’t try me. They see me as unattainable — and no one is unattainable. We are all equal, each has our own value, and we deserve respect equally. I’ve never believed myself to be more than anyone just because I’m known. To be honest, I don’t like this celebrity status. At my age, I’m still single. Sometimes, I cry alone in my bed at night. It hurts.”
Her statement has since gone viral on social media, sparking waves of empathy and admiration from fans and supporters worldwide. Many praised her courage to speak openly about the pain of loneliness despite being a public figure.

In a story that reads like a film script, former Ghana Premier League forward Mark Adu‑Amofah has traded in his boots for a uniform — now serving in the United States Army after a distinguished career across Ghana and abroad.
From Ashaiman street football to Ghana’s big stage
Born and raised in Ashaiman, Adu-Amofah arrived on the Ghanaian football scene as a promising youngster, eventually rising through the ranks of clubs such as Asante Kotoko, where he scored 21 goals in 29 appearances. His scoring record and reputation as a goal-poacher made him a household name for a period in Ghanaian football.

A global football trek

Joining the U.S. Army
According to reports, at age 34, Adu-Amofah enlisted in the U.S. Army as a Specialist — a transition many former athletes consider but few undertake at that level. In doing so, he became one of the few Ghanaian-trained footballers to take up full military service in the United States.
What it means
His journey highlights the unpredictability of careers in sport: the glory of the local pitch, the overseas moves, and then a complete reinvention in a vastly different field. For young Ghanaian players, his example underscores that the end of a playing career isn’t necessarily the end of meaningful purpose.
Where he is now
Based in the U.S., Adu-Amofah also runs a non-profit (AA Sports International) and a talent-development firm (Unique Sports Talents Worldwide), signalling that his heart remains tied to football and youth empowerment.
