A circulating message on social media has stirred strong reactions, advising individuals—particularly men—to prioritize practical financial investments over emotionally driven support. The statement reads: “To help a woman in the name of love, please use it to buy a goat to rear. It will yield a profit rather than investing in ungrateful people. Help a woman at her lowest and she will betray you when she is at her highest.”
“Invest in Stability, Not Betrayal – Viral Message on Love and Financial Wisdom Sparks Debate” 2
The message, which has gone viral across platforms such as Facebook and TikTok, suggests that instead of offering emotional or monetary support to partners, individuals should focus on tangible, income-generating ventures. Its comparison of helping a woman to rearing livestock for profit has sparked widespread debate.
Some users argue it reflects painful real-world experiences of betrayal after providing emotional and financial support. Others strongly criticize the post as generalising women unfairly and promoting distrust in relationships. Several comments emphasized that betrayal is not gender-specific and that mutual respect and transparency are the keys to meaningful partnerships.
Relationship counsellors caution against using past hurt to promote bitterness, advising instead that individuals learn from experiences while maintaining healthy boundaries. Economists, on the other hand, agree that investing in livestock or small-scale agribusiness can offer stable financial returns but warned against allowing emotional trauma to drive financial decisions.
The debate continues to trend, with users sharing stories of betrayal and financial loss in relationships, while others defend the importance of thoughtful investment and emotional wisdom.
The Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service has taken swift action following a disturbing viral Facebook video showing a man physically assaulting a woman believed to be his wife at their residence in Ofankor, Ga East Municipality.

According to police sources, the violent incident was captured and shared on social media, sparking widespread outrage across the country. The video reportedly showed Mr. Lamptey aggressively attacking the woman, prompting calls from the public for immediate intervention.
Following his arrest, police disclosed that two of his siblings — Grace Kushie Lamptey and Louis Odartey Lamptey — were also detained. They allegedly attempted to assault a female tenant they believed had recorded and circulated the video. The tenant, whose identity has been withheld for security reasons, was quickly rescued by police officers to prevent further harm.

Authorities confirmed that the woman who was assaulted had fled the scene before police arrived, and a search is currently underway to locate her and ensure her safety. The Ghana Police Service reassured the public that tracking her down and providing necessary protection remains a priority.
In an official statement, the Ghana Police Service reaffirmed its strong commitment to combating domestic violence, insisting that such criminal acts will never be tolerated. They emphasized that perpetrators will face the full rigour of the law, and urged the public to continue reporting such cases, assuring them of confidentiality and protection.
The viral video has reignited national discussions around domestic abuse, with many social commentators calling for stronger enforcement and support systems for victims. The police have advised the public against taking matters into their own hands or attempting to confront suspects without law enforcement involvement.
Investigations are still ongoing, and the suspect, along with his detained siblings, is expected to assist police with inquiries as legal proceedings begin.
DR Congo have taken a huge leap toward the 2026 FIFA World Cup after eliminating Nigeria 4-3 on penalties in a dramatic African play-off final that ended 1-1 after extra time in Rabat.
DR Congo Stun Nigeria to Move One Step Closer to 2026 World Cup 8
The Leopards held their nerve in a tense six-round penalty shootout, with captain Chancel Mbemba converting the decisive kick. Goalkeeper Timothy Fayulu became the hero of the night after saving Semi Ajayi’s effort, sending DR Congo into next March’s intercontinental playoff—one final chance to book their ticket to the World Cup.
Nigeria, who already missed the 2022 tournament, will now sit out another World Cup after a disappointing showing on neutral soil. Their night had begun brightly when Frank Onyeka’s deflected strike found the net in just the third minute, raising hopes for the Super Eagles.
But DR Congo refused to fold. Meschack Elia equalised with a sharp close-range finish in the 31st minute, shifting momentum back to the Central Africans. The match remained locked through 120 minutes of fierce battles, near-misses, and high tension.
In the end, it was DR Congo’s composure that made the difference, setting up a massive intercontinental qualifier next year—one that could potentially end a decades-long absence from the World Cup stage.
Nigeria, meanwhile, face heavy criticism as fans question a second consecutive World Cup failure.
The Black Stars’ preparations for their highly anticipated international friendly against South Korea have taken a major hit, as forwards Antoine Semenyo and defender Mohammed Salisu have both withdrawn from camp due to injury. Their exit delivers yet another blow to coach Otto Addo, who is already wrestling with a growing list of injury concerns in the Ghana squad.
Double Blow for Ghana: Semenyo and Salisu Exit Black Stars Camp Ahead of South Korea Clash 10
The two players, who were expected to play crucial roles in Ghana’s upcoming fixture, have now returned to their respective clubs after medical evaluations revealed they were unfit to participate in the friendly. Their absence not only disrupts tactical plans but also deepens concerns about squad depth as Ghana prepares for competitive fixtures in early 2026.
Semenyo’s Setback: A Painful Repeat at the Worst Time
Antoine Semenyo, one of Ghana’s most in-form forwards in Europe, sustained a left anterior talo-fibula ligament sprain during Ghana’s recent Kirin Challenge Cup clash against Japan. The Bournemouth attacker was substituted in the 55th minute after going down awkwardly during a duel.
Attempts by the medical team to accelerate his recovery proved unsuccessful. After further evaluations, the GFA confirmed that Semenyo had been granted permission to fly back to England to begin full treatment and rehabilitation with his club.
Semenyo’s injury is particularly painful for the national team considering his rise in form. His versatility, work rate, and newfound confidence in the English Premier League have made him one of Ghana’s brightest attacking sparks. As the Black Stars introduce new attacking combinations and attempt to rebuild a more fluid frontline, losing Semenyo disrupts the momentum they were building.
Salisu’s Withdrawal: A Defensive Void Deepens
Mohammed Salisu’s absence comes as an equally heavy blow. The AS Monaco defender has struggled with recurring fitness issues this year, and hopes of his return for the South Korea game have now been dashed.
Medical checks carried out jointly by Monaco’s medical team and the Black Stars’ doctors revealed that Salisu is suffering from a bilateral MCL (medial collateral ligament) sprain, ruling him out of action for the upcoming friendly. The centre-back subsequently departed the camp to continue treatment at his club.
For Ghana, Salisu’s withdrawal exposes a thin defensive line that has already faced instability in recent matches. His composure, aerial dominance, and left-footed balance would have been key assets against a dynamic South Korean attack known for speed and movement.
His continuous injury setbacks also raise questions about long-term reliability as Ghana looks ahead to the next round of World Cup qualifiers—a campaign where defensive solidity will be non-negotiable.
Growing Injury List Leaves Otto Addo With Just 19 Fit Players
With Semenyo and Salisu departing, and midfielder Francis Abu already ruled out following surgery for his own injury in the Japan game, Otto Addo is left with just 19 fit players in Seoul.
This is far from ideal as the Black Stars attempt to rotate, test new strategies, and integrate new faces into the squad. Friendlies like this are crucial for experimentation, especially in a year where Ghana aims to rebuild confidence after mixed performances.
The coaching team must now reshuffle roles, rethink tactical setups, and manage player fitness carefully to avoid further damage.
Why This Friendly Matters—Despite Being “Just” a Friendly
While some fans may see the match against South Korea as a routine international fixture, its significance is deeper.
1. Tactical Building Block for 2026 World Cup Qualifiers
Ghana’s qualifying journey resumes soon, and international friendlies serve as essential testing grounds for systems, partnerships, and new ideas.
2. Boosting Morale and Restoring Confidence
After a turbulent year with inconsistent performances, Ghana is keen on restoring belief both within the squad and among fans.
3. Assessing Squad Depth
Injury situations such as this one provide an opportunity—albeit a difficult one—for fringe players to show readiness.
Opportunities for Fringe Players
The absence of key names opens up chances for several newcomers and returning players. Defensively, Ghana may now rely on young centre-backs who have been waiting for their moment to prove themselves on the international stage. In attack, a reshuffled frontline may see a combination of emerging talents and seasoned campaigners filling in.
These setbacks, while unfortunate, could become valuable moments for lesser-known players to break into the core setup.
A Broader Question: Are Ghana’s Players Overloaded?
Semenyo’s and Salisu’s injuries reignite conversations around player workload. Many national team regulars are central to their clubs’ campaigns in Europe, playing high-intensity football almost every three days.
This raises questions:
Are Ghana’s best players being overworked at club level? How can the national team manage heavy workloads during international breaks? Do Ghanaian players need specialized injury prevention programs?
With modern football placing extraordinary physical demands on athletes, national teams like Ghana must innovate to protect their key players.
The Road Ahead
Despite the setbacks, the Black Stars will still face South Korea with optimism and determination. The match provides a platform for Ghana to test teamwork, mentality, and ambition against a well-organized opponent.
However, the coaching staff will be keeping a close eye on the injury list. With important qualifiers approaching, Ghana cannot afford more losses in key positions.
For Semenyo and Salisu, the immediate priority is recovery. Fans will be hoping they return stronger—because when fit, they are two of the most influential players in Ghana’s setup.
The Black Stars may be weakened on paper, but the spirit, hunger, and opportunity for new heroes remain alive.

A dramatic relationship incident has gone viral on social media after a young Nigerian woman publicly demanded that her boyfriend either repairs her broken iPhone 17 Pro Max or buys her a new one—otherwise, their relationship is over.
Nigerian Lady Demands iPhone 17 Pro Max Replacement After Boyfriend Destroys Her Device in Jealous Clash 18
According to eyewitness accounts gathered online, the altercation began when the lady received a call from her ex-boyfriend. Her current boyfriend, who reportedly reacted with extreme jealousy, confronted her and, in a fit of rage, smashed the phone against the floor. Photos of the shattered device have since circulated widely, sparking intense debate nationwide.
The story took another twist when users suggested that the boyfriend may have secretly been in a hidden gay relationship, fueling speculation about the insecurity and emotional instability behind his actions. Although unverified, the claim has added new layers to the already heated conversation.
The lady at the centre of the incident has remained firm in her stance: without a repaired or replaced iPhone 17 Pro Max, she sees no reason to continue the relationship. “If he cannot fix what he destroyed, then what kind of future can we build?” she reportedly said, drawing both support and criticism online.
Many social media users argue she is justified, emphasizing accountability and respect in relationships. Others believe she should reconsider, suggesting the issue reflects deeper emotional problems that money alone may not fix.
Relationship experts also weighed in, noting that destruction of property during conflict is a red flag that should not be ignored. They advise that beyond replacing the phone, the couple needs serious communication and possibly counselling—if the relationship is to continue at all.
As the story continues to trend, one thing is clear: it’s no longer just about a broken phone, but a larger conversation about emotional maturity, trust, and boundaries in modern relationships.

Crystal Palace forward Eddie Nketiah has opened up about his international future, offering a balanced and heartfelt response as speculation continues over whether he will eventually commit to Ghana.
Eddie Nketiah speaks on his international future as he shines at Crystal Palace 22
Speaking to BBC Sport, Nketiah emphasised that his focus for now is fully on his club career, where he is enjoying an impressive run of form after securing more playing time at Palace.
“At the moment I’m just enjoying my football with Crystal Palace, that’s my main focus,” he said. “I’m Ghanaian and there’s no denying that. I’m proud of my roots. The future will take care of itself… what will be will be.”
His comments come at a time when the Ghana Football Association and many Black Stars supporters continue to express interest in securing the talented forward for the national team. Nketiah, who represented England at youth level, remains eligible to switch nationality to Ghana.
The 25-year-old’s calm and measured statement suggests he is in no rush to make a definitive international decision, placing priority on consistency, confidence, and development with Crystal Palace.
For many football fans, particularly in Ghana, Nketiah’s words reaffirm not just his heritage but the possibility—however open or uncertain—that he could one day wear the Black Stars jersey.
As he continues to grow and build momentum in the Premier League, the football world will be watching closely to see how “what will be” eventually unfolds.
Veteran Ghanaian highlife musician Kaakyire Kwame Appiah has shared a deeply personal revelation about his family life, proudly stating that he is the father of 18 children with nine women. According to him, what makes this large family his greatest joy is the unity, love, and strong bond shared among all his children—despite being born to different mothers.
Kaakyire Kwame Appiah Proudly Reveals He Has 18 Children With Nine Women, Calls Their Unity His Greatest Blessing 24
Speaking in a recent interview, Kaakyire said he understands that some people may judge or criticise him, but that does not take away from the blessing God has given him. He explained that he has no reason to hide his children, insisting that owning up to fatherhood is a responsibility he embraces wholeheartedly.
Kaakyire revealed that all 18 children know one another and maintain close relationships. “When you see how united they are, you would think they all come from one mother,” he said. He added that the harmony among them is what makes him most proud.
The musician, who still sounds full of energy and youthful zeal, mentioned that his youngest child is just four months old. He also hinted that he is not done yet — stating that he hopes to reach 25 children, describing it as part of his life’s dream.
He emphasised that taking care of his children remains a priority. For him, fatherhood is not about numbers alone but about connection, accessibility, and responsibility. He noted that he maintains strong communication with all his children and ensures they feel supported.
Kaakyire, known for his humour, music legacy, and outspoken personality, believes that every child is a gift from God. According to him, the most important thing is not how many children a man has but how well he handles the role of a father.
He concluded by encouraging unity in family structures, stressing that regardless of how a family is formed, harmony is what brings true joy.
London, UK — Veteran Ghanaian Kumawood actor Nana Boakye Ansah, widely known by his screen name Otumfuo Nana, has revealed that he is now working as a security guard in the United Kingdom — and he’s not regretting the move.
Kumawood Actor Nana Boakye Ansah Finds Happiness Working as a Security Guard in the UK 26
In a series of candid interviews and social media posts, Otumfuo Nana opened up about the dramatic shift in his career. After relocating to the UK, the actor made the decision to take up security work, citing both the stability and financial reward of the role.
A New Chapter, A New Career
Though he once enjoyed fame on the silver screen in Ghana, Nana Boakye Ansah says he has never fully abandoned acting. In interviews, he explained that his security job is a temporary but necessary chapter — one he hopes will support his ambitions while he adapts to a new country.
He emphasized that acting remains close to his heart: “I haven’t quit acting … I gave myself 10 years,” he stated, according to YEN.com.gh. When asked about his relocation, he disclosed that he first arrived in the UK in 2015, but grappled with limited documentation and financial hardship early on.
Financial Reality of Security Work Abroad
One of the most surprising revelations from Otumfuo Nana is how lucrative his security role can be. He claimed that some security personnel in the UK make between £6,000 and £7,000 per month, a figure that astonished many back in Ghana.
A fellow Ghanaian security worker in the UK publicly defended him, saying that such pay is not unrealistic: hourly rates for UK security guards, he noted, often start at around £15.
Challenges, Pride, and Positivity
Despite the financial upside, Nana Boakye Ansah did not shy away from discussing his challenges. In a heartfelt interview, he recounted early struggles in the UK — at one point lacking proper documentation, which made securing a stable job difficult.
Still, he remains optimistic. In recent videos, he has shared moments of cultural pride, such as wearing traditional Kente cloth and performing the Adowa dance — a nod to his Asante heritage.
Public Reaction and Reflection
Reactions in Ghana have been mixed. Supporters admire his humility and work ethic, while critics wonder why a successful actor would choose to “downgrade” to security work. For his part, Nana Boakye Ansah says he’s made peace with his choice.
“In Ghana, how many people working at the bank will earn £720 every week?” a Ghanaian in the UK famously asked, defending Nana’s decision.
Looking to the Future
Although he’s embraced his role in security, Nana has assured fans that his move isn’t permanent. He plans to return to acting once he’s built a stable foundation in the UK.
For now, he continues to balance his pride, responsibilities, and heritage — showing that even in a very different life, his identity as Otumfuo Nana endures.
