As Obuasi is globally known for its gold mining industry, 2025 didn’t quite start very well for inhabitants. It’s known to the public there’s an ongoing battle between miners and soldiers deployed in the area to stop miners from their operations.
It’s quite unclear what might have started the banter between the two parties, but there’s an even more serious issue going on with vehicles set ablaze and more.

“I paid Ramzy Nouah 6 billion cedis for his role in ‘A Country Called Ghana'” – Lil Win reveals
Speaking to Zionfelix, Lilwin said he had to pay over $40,000 to get Nigerian actor, Ramsey Noah for his role in the movie.
The film starred other top Nigerian actors, such as Charles Awurum, Victor Osuagwu, and notable Ghanaian actors.
Before its premiere, Lil Win flew Ramsey Nouah and his Nigerian castmates to Ghana for a special event.
“I paid Ramsey Noah more than $40,000. There was one guy I wanted to feature but the money he wanted to charge was too much, I couldn’t pay.
When I called him, they thought I was a Nigerian so they wanted to charge higher. Even accommodation and feeding are not included in the $40,000 I paid him,” he said.
There were two big premieres for the movie: one in Accra which did not end successfully and the other in Kumasi.
Destiny Kosiso, a 9-year-old forward playing in La Masia, has scored 84 goals in 22 games. Kosiso is described as an amazingly fast player, and has two brothers who’re also playing for Barcelona.
His father who hails from Nigeria, Africa was also a footballer who played for third division team Montanesa. He often joked that his two sons David and Divine were potential but Destiny was ahead of them considering the basic skill.(AS)

According to his wife, his right eye can now see things clearly but unfortunately, the left struggles for a better sight.

Man jumped on to bracket between carriages after doors closed and hung on as train sped along at 170mph
A man survived unscathed after clinging to the outside of a German high-speed train as it barrelled along at up to 170mph (280km/h), police said on Friday.
The 40-year-old Hungarian man was having a cigarette on a platform in Bavaria when the train doors shut, prompting him to jump on to the bracket between two carriages.
The unidentified man told police he opted for the daredevil act because his luggage was still on the Intercity Express train headed cross-country from Munich to Lübeck.
He spent the next 20 miles gripping on to cables before the train was brought to a controlled stop after witnesses had spotted him and alerted authorities.
The man had boarded the train in Munich and had jumped back on between carriages in Ingolstadt. Police arrested him in the Bavarian town of Kinding before the train continued north.
The man was being investigated for financial impropriety since he did not have a valid ticket, federal police said, as well as for acts that disturb normal operations.
In 2017, a 59-year-old man likewise survived clinging to the side of the Hannover-Bielefeld Express train for 15 miles.
Police implored people to avoid similar “life-threatening nonsense”.
These days I only have one rule when it comes to new year resolutions: do not, under any circumstances, write them down. Don’t put them on social media, or on a Post-it note stuck to your bathroom mirror, or in the notes section of your phone. Chances are high you won’t keep your resolutions, but as long as you don’t write them down chances are equally high you’ll have no memory of making them by next December.
I’ve learned there is simply no point in negotiating with future you – this person who no longer shares your goal to write a play, or to read 50 books in a year. Don’t let their failure be your failure. Besides: if you only manage to read nine books in 2025, you’ll still be nine books less stupid than you were in 2024.
In the meantime here’s something you can do right now to override future-you’s lack of commitment: support the Guardian’s work in 2025. You’ll be supporting independent journalism at a time when it’s more desperately needed than ever, and I promise that we will never send you an email reminding you to practice your Italian.

Dana White announced a major change to the UFC 311 pay-per-view card this Saturday in Los Angeles. Just hours before the official weigh-in on Friday, White and the matchmakers got word that Arman Tsarukyan has an ailing back and that he wouldn’t be able to compete this weekend against Islam Makhachev.
True to the UFC’s business model, White and his staff devised a short-notice plan to save the top of the UFC 311 fight card. Renato Moicano, who was supposed to face Beneil Dariush in a lightweight contender bout on the main card, will now headline UFC 311 against Makhachev.
As of this writing, Dariush will not get a short-notice replacement opponent to fill for the promoted Moicano. White revealed the UFC ‘will take care of Beneil’ financially to make up for the last-second cancelation.
Makhachev, the UFC’s pound-for-pound No. 1 fighter, didn’t hesitate to accept the short-notice switch-up at UFC 311. White shared a reaction from the UFC lightweight champion that will send chills down your spine.
At age 39. I have just moved into my own house in the UK. This is my achievement working as a cleaner for 7 years.
Many times we are discouraged by what people will say when we tell them what we do abroad. I don’t care what you say about my job as long as it puts food on my table. Yes, I’m a cleaner, i go about cleaning pipes, washing people’s toilets & bathrooms here in Uk. But guess what, thats what pays my bills, and enables me to feeds myself & my family back home. This might be small but I’m proud of my little achievement. I thank you lord. I hope & Pray for bigger things ahead father.
Enjoy “Nyame”
