QUICK BYTE

  • President Mahama just dropped the mic at a church meet, saying, “Only two genders, period.” He’s on that classic vibe, telling everyone that love is strictly a man and a woman thing, no mix-ins allowed. Basically, he’s doubling down on old-school family values like they’re the OG remix, and he’s not here for any flavor experiments. It’s like he’s saying, “No vegan cheese on my pizza, fam.” Get the 411 in the Deep Dive section below

  • Dr. Maxwell Opoku-Afari was on the 2025 Church of Pentecost Global Business Conference stage straight-up telling businesses, “Yo, loans ain’t free, so you gotta pay ‘em back if you want lower interest rates, fam!” He explained that all these high interest rates? They’re basically the bank’s way of saying, “Dude, your credit score is a hot mess!” He broke it down like, if you’re not repaying your loans, the bank is forced to charge you extra to cover their losses. And that extra is like, the ultimate penalty for being extra lazy with your payments. Read more

  • Man, imagine buying a cigarette for GH₵1.20 and then getting bitten in the nether by a shop owner over a 20-pesewa debt! Osman thought he was just settling his tab, but Esi Affumwaa went full savage mode and bit him—like, literally. The altercation escalated with her kids joining in, and the police had to roll in. Want the deets in full? Check out the Deep Dive section.

  • Tordze water, the one flowing through Agotime Ziope and Adaklu, got the lab seal of approval. After that truck drama in Tove spilled some agrochemicals (yeah, Togo did that), the VRCC went full detective mode. They tested the water, and guess what? No fish are dying, no funky smells, nothing extra—just clean vibes. But they’re still like, “Don’t be a savage, filter it, fam,” ‘cause safety first, right? Read more

  • Isaac Adongo, MP for Bolgatanga Central, just dropped a truth bomb on Asempa FM. He said he would’ve totally grabbed a deputy minister role if Prez Mahama had slid that offer his way. Even though his crew said he’s above playing deputy.

    Now, Isaac’s not mad; he’s cool with it. Even without the minister title, Adongo is chill and committed to supporting the government—he’s all about that service, no cap. Read more

FACT OF THE DAY

❝

A giraffe’s tongue can be 20 inches long

  • At a coronation in Nungua, a musket blast turned a regal celebration into chaos, with Queen Mother Naa Gamu getting hit in the thigh, unaliving her. One guy, Samuel Adjei, arrested on the spot. So what had happened was, while the dignitaries were busy celebrating tradition, Adjei allegedly went off-script with a musket, sparking chaos and sending shockwaves through the crowd. The court, not having time for any “I’m sorry, my bad” vibes, remanded him into custody without even hearing his plea. The Teshie District Court is now on full detective mode, setting a date for further investigations on March 12. Meanwhile, the community’s left scratching their heads like “how did this even happen?” Read more

  • Early Power hit ECG hard, saying, “Settle your nearly debt or we cut the power, period.” They’ve set a no-nonsense deadline, and if ECG can’t cough up the cash, it’s lights out for us, fam. With $47M overdue, Early Power’s in deep. The deadline is (28th Feb, no excuses). Eiii, it’s today oo. Read more

DEEP DIVE

Woman bites man’s testicles!

A farmer, Osman, buys a cigarette for GH₵1.20 and promises to pay the extra 20 pesewas later. Fast forward to the next day, he comes back, drops GH₵5, thinking his tab will be cleared. But then, boom—Esi Affumwaa, the 43-year-old shop owner, flips out and demands that missing 20 pesewas like it’s the Holy Grail, sparking a showdown that even your wildest Netflix drama couldn’t script.

Things escalated super quick. Osman tried to keep it chill, but the drama got real when Affumwaa, with her crew (yep, even her kids joined the fray), went full WWE on him. In a scene that was as bizarre as it sounds, she bit him in the most awkward spot—his testicles! Imagine trying to pay for a cigarette and ending up with a horror story you can’t even tweet about without emoji-ing.

Now, while Osman ended up bleeding and running for cover, bystanders did their best to help him out, and he was rushed to the hospital. The police had to step in, and of course, Affumwaa got cuffed for her over-the-top reaction. All because of a measly 20 pesewas—talk about letting a small change flip your whole day upside down.

Only two flavours, please

Now, while half the world is busy flexing their rainbow playlists and updating their pronouns, Mahama’s out here calling for a renewal of the Proper Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill—yep, that bill that expired with last Parliament. He wants it back on the menu, government-style, not just as some random private member’s motion. In his eyes, it’s all about sticking to the classic combo: man and woman, no extra toppings. You know, keeping it basic and simple.

He even laid it out straight: this isn’t about being a buzzkill, it’s about locking in a belief that’s as solid as your grandma’s secret recipe. It’s like he’s telling the world, “If you want to change the menu, you’ve gotta bring something better—but right now, I’m all about the OG flavors.” And while critics are busy remixing the rules, Mahama’s serving up that old-school plate, saying, “Don’t come at me with your new-fangled ideas.”

At the end of the day, whether you’re vibing with the traditional beat or dancing to a different rhythm, Mahama’s making a power move by renewing the bill. So, if you’re into keeping it classic, he’s got you; if not, well, you might just have to figure out your next move. Read more
