President John Mahama has completed his first four months in office, but his much-publicized 120-day social contract with Ghanaians remains partially fulfilled.

Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has criticized President John Dramani Mahama's first 120 days in office, describing them as disappointing and lacking any cause for celebration. According to Afenyo-Markin, the failures during this period are clear to all Ghanaians.

In this short driving episode I share my thoughts on what I've witnessed in the city of Lincoln UK. There is a noticeable increase in the population of Nigerians and Ghanaians living, working and studying in Lincoln and or parts of Lincolnshire county. Walking or driving past the areas populated by these overseas visitors, there is a clear physiological difference between the African men, women and children and the English families born and bred here, mainly the distinct disparity in obesity levels. I rarely see overweight or obese African visitors, which leads me to think the food cultures and habits must be different in parts of their huge continent. Whilst this may not actually be the case for all Nigerians or Ghanaians in the UK or back in their home countries, it's something to consider and possibly learn from, regarding a change of mindset and nutritional habits here in Lincoln. After travelling to Japan last year and witnessing the low levels of obesity in Tokyo and Kyoto, it's becoming more apparent that the UK is vastly inferior in this aspect of health, as we are increasingly under pressure due to the norm of highly processed foods and lack of physical exercise.

Cyber Security Authority has issued a warning about a significant increase in online fraud. In the first quarter of 2025, financial losses amounted to 4.4 million cedis, a sharp rise from the 2.4 million cedis reported in the first quarter of 2024. In light of this, Adom News spoke to a security analyst, Samuel Nana Appiah, about preventing online fraud

Nigerians Troll Ghanaians For Their Obsession With Eggs.

The Minister of Lands and Natural Resources, Emmanuel Armah Kofi Buah says illegal miners, or galamsey operators, should be viewed as "terrorists" who are actively endangering the lives of Ghanaians.

This episode of the Change Africa podcast features Selasie Gomado, founder and creative director of Artematis, a Ghanaian art collective and agency driving the continent's artistic renaissance.Selasei begins by tracing his early love for drawing, stifled by familial expectations to pursue engineering, a path he followed until a post-university epiphany sparked Artematis. What started as an online art shop in 2018, born from a random thought in a car ride, has grown into a dynamic collective showcasing five artists globally, from London to Hong Kong.Selasie recounts the rocky early days—six months of no sales—until a friend's advice to tap into Ghanaians' love for experiences led to the first Full Moon Exhibition. With 300 attendees and a single sale, it was a modest validation that shifted Artematis toward events. The momentum of 2019 screeched to a halt with COVID-19, nearly ending the venture. But a personal brush with the virus in 2021 became a turning point. Bedridden and reflective, Selasie recommitted to managing artists full-time, quitting his engineering job after signing with Phillips Auction House for a landmark 2022 London show.The discussion pivots to the artists of Artematis—Hawa Awanle Ayiboro, Abdur Rahman Muhammad, Kwaku Yaro, James Mishio, and Courage Hunke—each pushing boundaries with unique materials and themes. From Hawa's vivid depictions of women's struggles to Courage's fusion of paper and plastic waste, Selasi highlights their growth from emerging to established talents. He reflects on the challenge of balancing structure with creative chaos, a dance he navigates with patience and an open mind.Selasie situates Artematis within Ghana's thriving art scene, crediting pioneers like KNUST's arts department and galleries such as 1957 for creating “third spaces” that democratize art. Yet, he notes a persistent hurdle: local art collecting lags, with over 90% of sales to foreigners. The episode closes with a hopeful vision for African art's future—rooted in quality, documentation, and experimentation—underscoring Selasi's belief that its foundations are still being built.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Change Africa Podcast01:01 Selasi Gomadu and Artomatis: A Journey into Art03:01 The Evolution of Artomatis and Its Impact06:01 Challenges and Triumphs in the Art Scene09:04 Navigating the Art Market: Strategies and Insights12:00 The Role of Community in Artist Development15:03 Defining Great Art and the Artist's Journey17:59 Fostering Creativity and Managing Artists21:07 Success Stories and Growth in the Art Collective23:47 Behind the Scenes of Art Exhibitions26:56 Experimental Approaches in Contemporary Art30:00 The Future of Artomatis and the Ghanaian Art Scene35:50 Building Connections in the Art World39:38 Challenges in the Art Industry44:58 The Role of Galleries in Community Engagement47:03 The Evolving Culture of Art Collection in Ghana50:49 Supporting Artists' Mental Health53:39 Spotlight on Emerging Artists01:06:30 The Future of Art in AfricaFurther Reading and ResourcesTo explore Selasi's world further:Visit Artematis' website (assumed URL) for artist profiles and upcoming shows.Read Rebecca Ann Proctor's 2021 article that spotlighted Artematis, Explore Ghana's art scene through Gallery 1957 and Nubuke Foundation, key players mentioned by Selasi.

It should be easier to track the 13,000 missing ECG containers with CCTV footage. Ghanaians demand transparency, accountability and need answers not complaints - Nana Jantuah to Energy Minister John Jinapor.

In a promise made to Ghanaians during his campaign, John Mahama vowed to repeal the betting tax, emissions levy, and electronic levy to ease the burden on taxpayers. This afternoon, Parliament passed a bill to eliminate the three taxes. This follows the repeal of the Income Tax Amendment Act 2015 (Act 896)

Some institutions must never be politicized, or we risk setting a dangerous precedent. If President Mahama has received three petitions against the Chief Justice, he should publish them so Ghanaians can assess their merit and the petitioners' credibility. Justice Gertrude Torkonoo's integrity must not be unfairly questioned. - Sam Pyne (Former Kumasi Mayor)

Parliament is set to remove the betting tax, emissions levy, and electronic levy, but is this the right move for Ghana's economy? Executive Director Eric Jerry Aidoo shares his thoughts, claiming Ghanaians were already used to the e-levy and targets could still have been met. What does this mean for the future?

"The players deeply regret failing to qualify us for AFCON and are determined to prove their commitment to Ghanaians by making us proud again."

One-on-one with Eric Opoku, Minister for Food and Agriculture - A deep dive into the 2025 Budget Statement, analyzing the key facts, its impact, and what it truly means for Ghanaians. Listen!

President Mahama, through Finance Minister Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, will present his 2025 economic policy and budget to Parliament tomorrow, following his landslide victory and promises of improved economic policies for Ghanaians

President John Dramani Mahama has placed a strong call on Ghanaians to help make a bold decision against financial dependence and move the country from relying on donors. In this regard, the President proposes homegrown policies which will see economic growth, youth employment and critical agro industrialization to make the country coffers stable.

Ghanaians are today holding celebratory activities to mark the country's liberation from colonial rule nearly seven decades ago. Unlike previous years where grand ceremonies ignited the country's historic Black Star Square and regional capitals, this year's commemoration will be "modest" to cut cost, the Government has said

The NDC's discussion on cut-off points is a calculated attempt to deny Ghanaians access to education and ruin the future of the youth. – Kwasi Kwarteng, Former P.R.O, Ministry of Education.

"Tit for tat has no place in governance. As a minister, I never sacked any NDC official, and I expect President Mahama to do the same. He should show mercy, forgive us in the NPP for our past actions, and reinstate the innocent Ghanaians he has dismissed from their jobs." – Dr. Stephen Amoah, former Deputy Minister of Finance, begs President Mahama.

Ghana's president, John Dramani Mahama, is tackling the country's worst economic crisis in a generation. He aims to create a "24-hour economy" with nighttime jobs and tax incentives. Critics recall severe power cuts during his first term. Mahama plans to renegotiate IMF loan conditions to fund social programs for the 7.3 million Ghanaians living in poverty.

*) Israel kills 25 Palestinians in a strike on home in northern Gaza The Israeli army has killed two Palestinian families overnight bombing a home that was sheltering them in the town of Beit Hanoon in the northern besieged Gaza. Eyewitnesses said that the Israeli army bombed a house that was sheltering two families from the Al-Kahlout clan, consisting of 25 individuals, burying them under the rubble. A relative of those killed said that Israel committed another massacre, wiping out two families entirely from the civil registry. He said their bodies remain trapped under the rubble of the destroyed house and in the street as rescue operations are impossible due to the dire security situation. *) Netanyahu says won't end Gaza war 'now' Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said he would not stop Israel's war in besieged Gaza "now", even as the renewed efforts towards a ceasefire are underway. Speaking at a press conference in West Jerusalem, he said, If we end the war now, Hamas will return, recover, rebuild and attack us again — and that is what we do not want to go back to". *) Israel violates 1974 agreement in Golan Heights buffer zone — UN The UN has warned that Israeli military activity along the Golan Heights buffer zone in Syria "would constitute a violation" of a 1974 pact on disengagement between Israel and Syria. UN peacekeepers informed the Israeli counterparts that these actions would constitute a violation of the agreement and that there should be no military forces or activities in the area of separation. A UN spokesperson also confirmed that the Israeli army personnel entered the area of separation and have been moving within that area where they remain in at least three locations throughout the region of separation. *) Syria transition must ensure 'accountability' for past crimes - UN The UN rights chief has said any political transition in Syria following the fall of Bashar al Assad must include accountability for him and others behind crimes committed under his rule. Volker Turk told reporters in Geneva that any political transition must ensure accountability for perpetrators of serious violations and guarantee that those responsible are held accountable. Asked about whether Assad was among those who should be brought to account, he said the "former president of Syria and whoever was in senior leadership positions, there are indeed serious grounds to believe that they may have committed atrocity crimes". *) Ghana's ex-president John Mahama returns with election win Ghana's former president John Drahami Mahama has won a historic comeback election victory after the ruling party accepted defeat with voters appearing to punish them for the government's handling of an economic crisis. Following Saturday's election, New Patriotic Party candidate Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia conceded that Ghanaians wanted change after he failed to shake off widespread frustration over high living costs. His defeat ended eight years in power for the NPP under President Nana Akufo-Addo, whose last term was marked by the West African state's worst economic turmoil in years, high inflation and a debt default.

Ghanaians go to the poll Saturday to elect a new president and members of parliament. President Nana Akufo-Addo is not seeking re-election due to term limitation, but his vice president Mahamudu Bawumia is the candidate for the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP). His main challenger is former President John Dramani Mahama of the National Democratic Congress (NDC). The candidates had their final campaign rallies on Thursday. VOA's Paul Ndiho is in the Ghanaian capital, Accra, covering the election.

Ghana is a global gold mining powerhouse and Africa's biggest producer. The informal mining sector of gold – known locally as “galamsey” - is a big election issue here. There have been recent marches demanding tougher action against illegal miners in Accra. But illegal mining is also a major source of employment. More than a million Ghanaians make their living from galamsey. We hear from local galamsey miners and look at the negative impact this industry is having on both the workers in terms of health, the environment, and the wider community.

Ten years ago, 80% of Africans believed democracy was the best form of governance and would always choose it over military or one-man rule. Today, that number has dropped to 66%. From Ghana, Senanu Tord speaks with a former military officer turned democracy advocate and young Ghanaians becoming increasingly dissatisfied with their elected officials

Today Alan Kasujja sits down with Ghanaian artist, Israel Derrick Epeti, to discuss the environmental disaster that's caused by illegal mining. Mercury is being used to extract gold by miners digging on a massive scale in forests and farms across the west African country. The 26-year-old artist recently visited the town of Twifo Praso to see for himself how the Pra River is polluted by chemicals. “I was able to paint with the water on my canvas. That's how bad it was”, he tells Alan. He further says “if this is not curbed, it will affect each and everyone in the country. We might need to import water from outside”. According to the Institute for Security Studies, galamsey, a term used in Ghana to describe illegal mining, involves large firms operating against the law. It is carried out by Ghanaians and foreigners, including Chinese and West African nationals from Burkina Faso and Ivory Coast. The government has introduced a variety of interventions to stop the problem, including the deployment of the army.
