Appiah, who led Ghana to the 2006 and 2010 World Cups in Germany and South Africa, respectively, will also act as the lead for player relations.

WASSCE results reported a pass rate of approximately 65%.
Subjects: Ghanaian students typically perform well in English Language and Mathematics, with pass rates often exceeding 70% in these subjects.
2. Nigeria:

Strika of Beasts Of No Nation fame has dropped a trailer for another skit after the first one he dropped since leaving Akabenezer’s camp was heavily criticised
The actor’s new skit looked like a massive improvement from the first one, as it had far better visuals and camera work with a compelling storyline.
He shared the trailer on his TikTok page, and in the comments section, many Ghanaians were impressed and expressed enthusiasm in seeing the full skit.
Popular Ghanaian actor Strika, who gained acclaim for his role in the Hollywood flick Beasts of No Nation, has shared a trailer for his new skit on TikTok.
This comes after his first skit, released after leaving Ak-abenezer’s camp, received heavy criticism for its poor quality and weak storyline.
In the new skit, Strika played the role of a feared rebel leader commanding a group of troops. The trailer showed civilians fleeing at the sight of him, creating a tense and engaging atmosphere. The visuals and camera work were noticeable improvements from his earlier work, earning positive reactions from viewers. Many Ghanaians praised the trailer and expressed excitement for the full skit.
Strika’s earlier skit, where he was seen buying bread and sharing it with friends, was widely criticised. Social media users described it as uninspiring and poorly pro-duced, especially compared to the high-quality videos he featured in, while working with comedian Ras Nene, popularly known as Dr Likee.
Why Strika left Dr Likee’s camp
Strika recently left Dr Likee’s team and returned to his family in Accra due to personal challenges. Gunshot, a member of Dr Likee’s team and Strika’s caretaker, alleged on YouTube that Strika faced issues with substance abuse and kleptomania. He alleged that efforts to help Strika, including rehabilitation, had not been successful.
Gunshot also claimed that Strika was arrested at one point for drug-related issues.
However, Strika has since come out to deny the claim lev-elled against him, stating that he had not stolen a mobile device like Gunshot had claimed in his lengthy YouTube disclosure of what transpired between him and the young actor.
Strika noted that he found Gunshot’s claim distasteful and a smear on his character. He added in his rant that Gunshot was deliberately assassinating his character in public as part of a ploy to heighten his YouTube engagements and viewership.
Minister-designate for Roads and Highways, Kwame Governs Agbodza, advises young people to establish stable careers before pursuing politics to ensure financial stability for the demands of public office.

It’s disheartening to see a once-respected institution like Media General, where I previously worked, now being used to air questionable content that showcases a lack of intellectual rigor.
I’m baffled as to why the platform has allowed certain presenters to spread hate speech and nonsensical ideas. While I understand that the media landscape is becoming increasingly competitive, with bloggers and social media influencers vying for attention, a responsible media outlet like Media General should prioritize the nation’s interest and adhere to the principles of journalism.
Unfortunately, it seems that the Group CEO, is more focused on collecting awards and accolades than on maintaining the network’s journalistic integrity. This is a stark reminder that, as a nation, we often celebrate mediocrity over meritocracy. It’s a sad state of affairs, and I can only hope that Media General will rediscover its commitment to responsible and informative broadcasting. The decline of a once-noble institution is a loss not just for the media industry, but for the nation as a whole.
