FACT OF THE DAY

Shark skeletons are made of cartilage just like your ears, not bones.

  • You know how we all complain about figuring out voting procedures? Now, imagine doing it without seeing the ballot paper. Yep, that’s the reality for visually impaired voters in Ahafo.

  • You know those moments where life throws you a curveball and you're like, “Not today!”? Well, that was Owou, the driver, on Monday morning. One minute, he’s minding his Bolga-Bawku business; the next, he’s dodging a student who crossed the road like he was in an action movie. The car skidded off-road, and the worst happened: Owou didn’t make it. A true hero in the driver’s seat, he went out trying to protect a life. Meanwhile, the passengers were thrown around like jollof in a pack. They’re now recovering at Glory Medical Centre in Bazua, and fingers crossed, they’re back on their feet soon. Read more

DEEP DIVE

Fumbling the bag

Basically, if Okraku’s tenure were a Netflix series, it would’ve been canceled by now.

And this whole situation is not just one bad day at the office. We’re talking a full-on slump: AFCON first-round exits, this latest no-show, and a World Cup performance that was less “Black Stars” and more “dim bulbs.” Veronica was like, “Qualifying for Qatar? Cool story, bro. But do you remember 2010? We were this close to the semi-finals! Don’t let mediocrity be the standard.”

Now, imagine the nerve. Okraku celebrated the World Cup qualification like he just found the cure for traffic in Accra. But when it comes to owning this AFCON L? Ghosted. Veronica’s not buying it. She’s calling for the kind of accountability we demand when our data bundles mysteriously vanish.

Even with all this heat, Veronica doubts he’ll resign. She’s like, “Okraku doesn’t seem like the ‘I messed up, I’ll leave’ type.” His vibe screams more “it’s the system’s fault” than “my bad.” And honestly, she might be right—because the GFA is playing defense harder than the team does on the field.

Mahama drags NPP

At a rally in Kyebi, Mahama said life has gone from small small enjoyment under the NDC to full-blown survival mode. "Money for one meal back then? Can’t even get you sachet water now,” he quipped, sending the crowd into a mix of laughter and head-shaking.

Mahama didn’t just come for the vibes; he had receipts. He claimed NPP’s eight-year reign has been all about “misplaced priorities,” which sounds like that one guy who buys sneakers before paying rent. Roads unfinished, cash missing, and citizens hustling harder than ever—his speech was basically a list of What Not to Do: Government Edition.

And the timing? Chef’s kiss. In Kyebi, the President’s own backyard, Mahama stood in full main-character energy, telling voters to reject NPP’s promises like stale kelewele. He called for a reset, arguing that Ghana needs leadership that puts people first—not just big-big grammar and no action. Read more
