QUICK BYTE

  • The Agbogbloshie scrap dealers are not feeling the NPP vibe. After being evicted from their Old Fadama site (which, by the way, has since turned into a glorified rubbish heap), they’re saying “Bye Felicia” to the ruling party.

    Their leader, Ussif Mahama, says the move has wrecked their trade, and they’re ready to give their votes to the NDC to “come back home” to their yard. It’s the political version of: “You don’t value us? We’ll find someone who will.” Read more

  • The National Peace Council (NPC) says "no tension, no violence, just vibes" as we hit the polls tomorrow. In a heartfelt address, the Council urged political parties, youth, and voters to uphold Ghana's A1 rep as Africa's peace MVP. The call is simple: Don't let "conflict entrepreneurs" sell you trouble. Vote early, and go home! Read more

  • You know that moment when someone drags your name into drama and you have to come out swinging with receipts? That’s exactly where Techiman Traditional Council found itself after a viral video claimed some rowdy peeps attacked Otumfuo’s convoy. But according to them, this alleged attack is faker than a WhatsApp chain message promising you $1 million. Want the deets in full? Check out the Deep Dive section.

  • It’s not every day the Police dish out compliments, but here we are! The Ghana Police Service is all smiles after the NDC and NPP pulled off peaceful rallies in Accra on December 5. They’re hyping everyone—political parties, the public, and their own officers—for playing nice ahead of tomorrow's general elections. Read more

FACT OF THE DAY

❝

The feet of most humans are actually the same length as one of their arms from wrist to elbow.

  • It’s Offinso South, Thursday night. The Electoral Commission (EC) pulls up with their materials, and boom! They allegedly whip out naked validating stamps. No wrap, no cover. Who does that? Dr. Omane Boamah, NDC’s Director of Elections, immediately threw his own gblaaaa on Facebook. “Reps eyyy, keep your eyes wide open.” Validating stamps are like that bouncer at Bloom Bar—if they don’t give the stamp of approval, you’re not getting in.

  • Imagine showing up for a group assignment and half the squad is MIA—that’s basically what happened in Ben Lord Ababio’s murder trial. Only nine jurors turned up when they needed more heads to pick from. Madam Justice Kizita Quarshie said, “Not encouraging,” and adjourned the whole vibes to December 18.

    So who’s Ben Lord aka Nana Barima? Glad you asked. He’s the guy who allegedly went all Call of Duty over a land dispute back in April, with the casualty being Lance Corporal Michael Danso. Danso died on the spot. Read more

DEEP DIVE

It wasn’t us

Nana Takyi Firi II, the acting boss of Techiman Traditional Council, said they’d never disrespect Otumfuo, describing Techiman and the Asantes as one big Oyoko clan family. It's basically giving We’re all in this together, High School Musical vibes. He even added that Otumfuo and Nana Techimanhene have the kind of bond where they call each other up, like besties, to check in or share tea.

And Otumfuo didn’t exactly pass through unnoticed either. On his way to Nkoranza, the Council said customary rites were performed along the way. We’re talking sheep slaughtered, libations poured, and rivers crossed—all the royal bells and whistles. If that’s not love, then what is?

Techiman also threw in a subtle clapback at the social media drama squad, reminding everyone to think before posting. “We’re chill—there’s no bad blood here,” Nana Firi II said. It’s the royal equivalent of “stay in your lane. Di wo fie asem” Read more
