At this year’s Tidal Rave event, held at the La Palm Royal Beach Hotel, Black Sherif took a moment during his performance to denounce illegal mining (galamsey) and its harmful effects on Ghana’s water bodies and forests.
The “Kwaku the Traveller” star shared disturbing footage of the environmental damage caused by galamsey, which struck a chord with the audience, who passionately chanted his name.
This bold move makes the 22-year-old musician the latest Ghanaian celebrity to voice concerns over galamsey, following artists like Gyakie and Dr. Likee, who have also condemned the practice. Dr. Likee even hinted at a forthcoming movie addressing the issue.
Despite an earlier rainstorm that delayed the event’s start, fans flocked to enjoy performances from big names like R2Bees, Edem, Kwesi Arthur, Pappy Kojo, and more. Black Sherif’s act, alongside Stonebwoy and Sarkodie, was a highlight of the night, leaving the crowd energized.

In a post on his X page, while congratulating the new lawyer, he said ‘A life of glory awaits only if you continue to hold onto the virtues of excellence taught!”
On Friday, October 11, seven hundred and seventy-seven lawyers were enrolled as Barristers and Solicitors of the Supreme Court of Ghana at the Accra International Conference Centre.
The ceremony, known in legal circles as the call to the bar, is not just a culmination of legal studies but also a testament to the grit, fortitude, dedication and hard work of those enrolled.
Speaking at the ceremony, the Chief Justice, Gertrude Torkonoo who is also the chairperson of the General Legal Council ruged the newly-called lawyers should deploy their knowledge in the law to engineer change in their communities.
She further stated that the new lawyers should take pupillage seriously as it is their passport to acquiring a Solicitors licence.
Presidential Candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Former President John Dramani Mahama has said the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) should be sent into opposition due to the way and manner the economy has been handled especially the local currency.
He observed that the Cedi continues to lose its value against the major international currencies, especially the Dollar.
Speaking in Funsi of the Wa East constituency in the Upper West Region on Sunday where he has been campaigning since Saturday, Mr Mahama said “Recently I saw the minister responsible for finance say they have successfully entered back into the capital market, that was a lie.
“What has happened is we have now finished the debt restructuring and now start paying our restructured debts. During the negotiations of the debt restructuring, Ghana was given a moratorium from paying debts. So even as our cedi was moving from 14, 15, 16 and 17 cedis, we were not servicing any debts.
“And so even in a situation where we are not servicing debts, the cedi continuous to lose value to the dollar and other international currencies. That is the situation in which the NPP has plunged this country. And that is why they must go into opposition. Their intention was only to plunder this country and take the opportunity for a few friends and family.”
He added “As we are all complaining, there are few of them who are very happy because they have benefited over the last 8 years. Those who are associated with the system have benefited. Their party apparatchiks have benefited. Their DCE’s have benefited because when you send fertilizer to them for for the farmers, they divert them.
“We cannot afford to have NPP continue in government. If we do that, it will reward mismanagement, it will reward dishonesty, it will reward daylight robbery, they have done enough, let them go.”
Byno Ayoni, winner of TV3’s Mentor Season 12, has revealed the challenges he’s faced in his music journey, often due to misconceptions about his albinism.

Despite the setbacks, Byno remains optimistic. He believes that as more people recognize his talent, the stigma around his condition is slowly diminishing.
Now signed to Edem Goget’em’s Volta Regime Music Group, Byno continues to release music, including tracks like “I Dey Like,” showing perseverance and dedication to his craft.

Former Ghanaian striker Prince Tagoe has voiced concerns over the Black Stars’ recent struggles in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers, attributing their poor performance to a lack of player character.
Ghana has only managed two points from their first three Group F matches, following a goalless draw against Sudan on October 10, 2024, at the Accra Sports Stadium. This result further jeopardizes the Black Stars’ chances of qualifying for AFCON 2025.
Tagoe, in an interview with Bryt FM, emphasized the need for players to bring the same intensity they show at club level to national team games. “If the players can replicate 80% of their club performances, we will win games. The issue lies in the character they display when playing for the Black Stars,” he said.
Ghana will now prepare for a crucial return leg against Sudan in Tripoli, Libya, where they must secure a victory to keep their AFCON dreams alive.
