Renowned Ghanaian journalist and social commentator, Shamima Muslim, has appealed to President John Dramani Mahama to safeguard his political legacy by ensuring that his appointees do not tarnish his image or derail the progress of Ghana’s democracy.
In a strongly worded statement circulating on social media, Shamima cautioned the President against tolerating any acts of misconduct, abuse of power, or corruption from his appointees that could damage his reputation and the credibility of his administration.
“Mr. President Mahama, please don’t allow your appointees to destroy your political records. If your four-year political mandate comes to an end, please step down and allow democracy to do its work for our beautiful nation,” she wrote.

Washington / Abuja — On October 31, 2025, Donald Trump announced that Nigeria would be designated as a “Country of Particular Concern” (CPC) under the International Religious Freedom Act, citing what he described as an “existential threat” to Christians in the country.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote:
“Christianity is facing an existential threat in Nigeria. Thousands of Christians are being killed. Radical Islamists are responsible for this mass slaughter.”
He also called on two U.S. House members — Riley Moore and Tom Cole — and the House Appropriations Committee to investigate the situation and report back.
Trump Labels Nigeria a “Country of Particular Concern” Over Christian Killings 6
What the Designation Means & U.S. Response
The CPC list is used by the U.S. government to identify countries that engage in or tolerate “particularly severe violations of religious freedom.” While the label does not automatically trigger sanctions, it opens the door for possible U.S. penalties — including cuts to non-humanitarian aid. Nigeria was previously on a similar list in 2020, but the CPC designation was lifted in 2023 under the previous U.S. administration.
The Nigerian government, through the Foreign Affairs Ministry, rejected Trump’s characterization, asserting that “these claims do not reflect the situation on the ground.” President Bola Ahmed Tinubu stated that religious freedom is “a core tenet” of Nigeria’s identity and that the country protects citizens of all faiths. Analysts caution that the violence in Nigeria is deeply complex: while Christians are targeted, many victims are also Muslims, and conflicts often involve ethnic, resource, and insurgency-driven dynamics rather than purely religious motives.
Why It Matters
Elevated International Attention: The designation signals heightened U.S. scrutiny of Nigeria’s handling of religious-freedom issues, which could affect diplomatic and aid relationships. Domestic Implications for Nigeria: The move may pressure Nigeria’s government to intensify protection of religious minorities, but could also provoke diplomatic tension. Impact on Christian Communities: For Christian advocacy groups, the U.S. action represents a recognition of what they say is large-scale persecution. However, for other analysts the data and narrative are contested.
Bottom Line
President Trump’s announcement to place Nigeria on the “Country of Particular Concern” list marks a sharp U.S. step in responding to alleged religious-freedom violations — especially violence against Christians. The move comes amid strong pushback from Nigeria’s government and experts who argue the violence’s root causes are multifaceted. While sanctions are not automatic, the designation raises the stakes for U.S.–Nigeria cooperation on aid, security, and religious-freedom issues.

Bank of Ghana Hosts Over 250 Pupils for Currency Education Session at Bank Square 12
The event forms part of the central bank’s continuous efforts to educate schoolchildren on the importance of money, currency security features, savings culture, and financial discipline. Officials from the Currency Department took the students through practical lessons on how to identify genuine Ghana cedi notes, handle money responsibly, and understand the role of the Bank of Ghana in maintaining the country’s financial stability.
Participating schools expressed their excitement and appreciation for the eye-opening experience, describing it as both educational and inspiring. The pupils also had the rare opportunity to tour the Bank Square, interact with BoG staff, and learn about Ghana’s monetary history and the evolution of the cedi.
According to the Bank, similar outreach programs will be extended to other regions to ensure that young Ghanaians across the country develop a sound understanding of currency management and the value of saving from an early age.
The initiative underscores BoG’s commitment to building a financially informed future generation capable of making wise monetary decisions and supporting national economic growth.

The closed-door discussions, held yesterday, focused on deepening cooperation across key strategic sectors aimed at advancing Ghana’s national development and strengthening mutual ties between the two nations.
Among the key outcomes of the meeting are major commitments including the retooling of the Ghana Armed Forces, expected to begin this year, and enhanced maritime collaboration to bolster Ghana’s coastal security and safeguard its blue economy.
France also pledged to unlock funds for the construction of seven hospitals across Ghana, as part of a renewed focus on improving healthcare infrastructure. Both leaders discussed expanding digital and artificial intelligence (AI) initiatives for the youth, ensuring Ghana’s young innovators benefit from France’s advanced technology ecosystem.
In the agricultural sector, new agribusiness partnerships are expected to be formed to enhance food production, processing, and export capacity. The two presidents also agreed to advance strategic counterterrorism cooperation, reinforcing Ghana’s stability and regional security efforts within the West African subregion.
Significantly, the talks emphasized a joint commitment to defending multilateralism, highlighting both nations’ shared belief in international cooperation as a cornerstone for global peace and sustainable development.

A few years ago, Joseph “Jojo” Wollacott stood tall as Ghana’s favorite goalkeeper — the safe pair of hands who gave fans hope and confidence in the Black Stars’ post. His heroics during the 2021 AFCON qualifiers and early World Cup campaigns made him a national sensation and a trusted figure between the sticks.

However, as football’s unpredictable tides often prove, time and circumstances have seen Wollacott drift from the limelight. Once celebrated as Ghana’s first-choice keeper, he now finds himself away from the loud applause and global headlines. Injuries, competition, and club transitions have played their part in slowing his rise.
Currently, Wollacott plies his trade with Crawley Town Football Club in England’s League Two, a humble setting compared to the grand stages he once graced. Yet, for true football lovers, this is not the end of his story — only a new chapter.
Known for his resilience, discipline, and humility, Jojo remains committed to regaining top form. Fans across Ghana and beyond still hold deep affection for him, hoping he will rise again, both for club and country.
Football careers often swing between fame and silence, but class and hard work never fade. Ghana still remembers, and Ghana still believes.
A massive blaze has completely destroyed the popular China City Mall located at the Santasi Roundabout in Kumasi, reducing the multi-million-cedi structure to ashes. The fire, which began late Thursday afternoon, sent panic across the area as thick smoke covered parts of the Kumasi skyline.
China Mall in Santasi Completely Burns Into Ashes 18
According to eyewitnesses, the fire started around 4 p.m. from the rear end of the building before spreading rapidly across the shopping center. The mall, known for its diverse range of Chinese and Ghanaian goods, was fully engulfed within minutes. Traders and customers rushed to safety, leaving behind valuable stock and personal belongings.
Personnel from the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) arrived promptly but struggled to contain the flames due to the intensity and scale of the inferno. Eyewitnesses described the scene as “terrifying,” noting that despite frantic efforts, most items inside the mall were unsalvageable.
Miraculously, no deaths or injuries were recorded, though property worth several millions of cedis has been lost. Fire officers battled the blaze for hours, finally bringing it under control in the evening. The building’s metal structure later collapsed, confirming total destruction.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation, with early reports suggesting a possible electrical fault or overheating from an air-conditioning unit. However, officials have yet to release a definitive cause pending a full GNFS report.
The Kumasi Metropolitan Chief Executive and several officials from the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) visited the site to assess the damage and console affected traders. The incident has sparked renewed calls for stricter fire-safety measures in Ghana’s commercial facilities, as similar disasters continue to devastate businesses nationwide.
Opened earlier this year, China City Mall had quickly become one of Kumasi’s busiest shopping destinations, employing dozens and attracting thousands of daily shoppers. Its destruction is expected to affect both local businesses and the broader trading economy of the Ashanti Region.
Authorities have urged the public to remain calm while investigations continue. Meanwhile, cleanup operations are underway, and NADMO has promised to assist affected workers and traders in the coming days.
Ghanaian singer and entrepreneur Mzbel has expressed strong displeasure toward Counsellor Charlotte Oduro, claiming her past comments about her son, Okomfo Black, have caused emotional damage and contributed to him dropping out of school.
Mzbel Vows Action Against Charlotte Oduro Over Son’s Alleged School Dropout 20
In a recent interview, Mzbel alleged that Charlotte Oduro’s public criticism of her son’s lifestyle and upbringing deeply affected the young boy, who has since struggled with confidence and mental well-being. The singer, known for her outspoken nature, revealed that she is considering taking legal or social action to hold the counsellor accountable for what she described as “public bullying under the disguise of moral guidance.”
Mzbel emphasized that as a mother, she has always done her best to raise her child responsibly and that no one has the right to judge or attack him publicly. “What Charlotte Oduro said years ago might have sounded like advice to her, but to a child, it was damaging. My son has suffered silently, and now I have to stand up for him,” she stated.
The video of Mzbel’s emotional statement has gone viral, sparking widespread conversation on social media about the line between public commentary and personal attack — especially when it involves minors. Many fans and celebrities have sympathized with Mzbel, urging respect and sensitivity when discussing children of public figures.
As of now, Counsellor Charlotte Oduro has not officially responded to the claims.
Ghanaian content creator and rising musician 39Forty has shared a deeply personal and heartbreaking experience that has left many fans sympathizing with him.
39Forty Opens Up on Painful Betrayal: “My Close Friend Slept with My Girlfriend… Then Sent Me Pictures.” 22
In a candid revelation, 39Forty recounted how one of his closest friends betrayed his trust by secretly sleeping with his girlfriend—the same woman he once considered his greatest love.
“I’ve always had a soft heart,” he began. “From 2021 to 2024, I’ve only dated three ladies. It’s hard for anyone to confidently say, ‘this is my girlfriend,’ when it comes to me—most of what people hear are just rumours.”
According to him, the painful betrayal came from someone he trusted the most. His friend, who pretended to support his relationship, was secretly involved with his girlfriend. The emotional blow became unbearable when the same friend later confessed and even sent him pictures as proof.
“That day, I had my first real heartbreak,” 39Forty revealed. “Later, she called to apologise, saying she didn’t know what had gone on between them. I just told her, ‘Am I a kid?’ After that, I never called her again, even though deep down, I still liked her very much.”
He also shockingly disclosed that the lady in question was the one who broke his virginity—on Monday, 22nd August 2019, at exactly 3:25 a.m.
The confession has since sparked widespread conversation on social media, with many fans commending 39Forty for his honesty and emotional maturity in handling such a painful experience.
