Adjetey Anang Advocates Unity In Creative Arts, Welcomes Mahama’s Funding Pledge

Ghanaian actor Adjetey Anang has called for unity within the country’s creative arts sector. He stressed that industry players must work closely with government policies while also building independent systems that can outlast political transitions.

Speaking at the National Film Dialogue held on September 16, 2025, at the University of Ghana’s Cedi Conference Centre, Anang described President John Dramani Mahama’s pledge to allocate funds to the sector as “a breath of fresh air.” The event was themed “Accelerating Industry Development.”

“The president and his team have always been very sensitive to the creative space, and, therefore, we’re always looking up to what they can do and help this space especially. For me, the news that there’s an allocation or the potential of having that for this space injects a breath of fresh air,” Anang told GhanaWeb’s Joseph Henry Mensah.

He added that the announcement should encourage collaboration and alignment with the government’s vision. “It’s for us to really align with the policies, with the government’s vision, and also support and make it possible for them to ensure that all their dreams and goals and aspirations for this sector comes to pass,” he said.

Despite welcoming the support, Anang warned against overreliance on government intervention. He called on professionals to build structures that can survive shifts in political leadership.

“We also need to stand on our own independently, so that whoever comes into power, we can’t still continue with the machinery that has been set up… I think that it also rests on us,” he explained. “No matter how the government’s injection would be in this space, if we don’t stand as one, if we do not collaborate on all levels, see eye to eye and bury our hatchets and grievances, we will not be able to thrive as an industry.”

His remarks follow President Mahama’s recent assurance that the upcoming national budget would include dedicated funds for creative arts. The president has repeatedly stressed the industry’s role in job creation and preserving cultural identity.

DKB Calls On Ghanaians To Trust Mahama Over Galamsey, Says Protests Are Unnecessary

DKB has dismissed plans for an upcoming anti-galamsey demonstration, arguing that the protest is unnecessary and urging Ghanaians to put their trust in President John Mahama’s pledge to address illegal mining.

In a video shared on social media, DKB recalled how Mahama handled the energy crisis known as “dumsor,” insisting that the president had proven himself capable of tackling major national challenges. He said the same confidence should be extended to him on galamsey.

“Yo, this is my message to those who want to organise the anti-galamsey demonstration. Listen, when JM, President Mahama, tells you he is working on something, he is really working on it. He’s not like the others,” DKB said.

The comedian pointed to Mahama’s intervention during dumsor, when public pressure mounted and people staged demonstrations. According to him, the president responded with decisive action that eventually restored stable electricity across the country.

“I remember the Dumsor video. He said he was working on the Dumsor. We thought he was playing, so we went to the demonstration. Yeah, yeah, yeah. In the end, who solved Dumsor for us? This year, 9 months, not a single night or day of darkness,” he recounted.

DKB added that protests were not necessary since Mahama had shown he could deliver on promises without being forced. “You understand? So if JM says he’s working on it, he is working on it. He is not lying. He doesn’t do Chandam and Vandam. But if you insist, I want to inform you that if you insist on doing the anti-galamsey demonstration, don’t panic.”

He further stressed that Mahama respected democratic expression and would not obstruct anyone who wished to demonstrate.

“JM practises democracy. He doesn’t fear demonstration. He sees it as a form of expression. Do you know what? When we were going to the dumsor demonstration, the day of the demonstration, he came to fix street lights for us so that we would not fall into a gutter,” DKB said.

He lightheartedly suggested that anyone joining a future protest might even be entertained. “Imagine! So, you that you want to do your anti-galamsey demonstration, just know that the day of your demonstration, he will organise sound system and brass band for you, for you to enjoy yourself. He will come and share free water.”

The co-founder of AfroStar Kids Academy took to Instagram to share her excitement and the challenges she overcame to achieve this significant milestone.

In a carousel post filled with celebratory pictures and videos, Afronita gave her followers a glimpse into her graduation moments.

Strengthen Mindset And Faith When Facing Hardship – MzGee To Women

MzGee has encouraged women dealing with infertility to shift their focus toward faith and a positive mindset, even while enduring the medical and social pressures that often come with the journey.

At the Stronger Together Women’s Health Conference, the media personality shared her own struggles before the birth of her son in January 2025. She spoke openly about the pain of miscarriage, a failed pregnancy, and long months on ovulation medication, saying those experiences tested her resolve.

Although medical reports mattered, she emphasized that perspective was just as important. “I used to ask myself, what are you saying to yourself? What are you doing?” she recalled, explaining how prayer, music, and affirmations sustained her when the outlook seemed grim.

Earlier this year on her Gee O’Clock show, MzGee also revealed the personal trials she endured outside of motherhood, including divorce and unrelenting societal scrutiny. She noted that some of the most hurtful questions came from other women.

“At every turn, it was women asking, ‘When will you marry again? When will you have a child? What are you waiting for?’ The pressure was constant, and most of the time, it wasn’t from men but from women,” she said.

MzGee, who confirmed in February 2025 that she had been separated for three years and legally divorced for two, said these experiences showed how harsh society can be toward women facing personal battles.

She urged her audience to break that pattern. “Instead of tearing each other down, let’s learn to give people breathing space. You don’t know the battles someone is fighting. Show love, not pressure,” she said.

Gyakie Hints At Her Father’s Struggle To Cope With Daddy Lumba’s Death

Gyakie, daughter of Highlife musician Nana Acheampong, says her father has been deeply shaken by the death of his longtime friend and collaborator, Daddy Lumba.

Acheampong and Lumba’s bond traces back to the late 1980s in Germany, where they teamed up to create the legendary Lumba Brothers. Their debut project, Yɛɛyɛ Aka Akwantuo Mu, was released in 1989 and cemented their names in Highlife history.

Speaking to Andy Dosty, Gyakie revealed that the news has been heavy on her father, who is still struggling to process the loss. She explained that the family has been rallying around him during this difficult time.

“Yes, we’ve been in conversations before, during, and after it happened. I went for the one week; he’s not in the country at the moment, so it was only right that even if he wouldn’t be there, I represent, so I ended up going.

“It really did take a toll on him; it took a huge… He’s still trying to process the whole thing. Because this is somebody that’s been from the beginning of their career and all that, so it’s really been heavy for him, but the family has been there and we’ve been supportive with him,” Gyakie stated.

Although Acheampong could not attend the one-week observation held on August 30 at Independence Square, Gyakie said she represented him, ensuring his presence was felt despite his absence.

Sista Afia Reveals Why She Has Stayed Single For Eight Years

Ghanaian singer Sista Afia has remained single for about eight years, not because she is unwilling to commit, but because of her deep affection for a man who has never returned her love.

Speaking on The Delay Show, she revealed that this unrequited bond has shaped her personal life, making it difficult for her to pursue lasting relationships. She admitted that one man has consistently been at the center of her world, and despite her efforts to show him love and care, he has never given back the same energy.

“Maybe it’s because the person I love doesn’t feel the same way about me. There’s someone I love so much, but he does not love me back. It’s funny how this world works. Someone out there would want me so badly that they would do anything to be with me.”

Sista Afia explained that even though other men have expressed interest in her, she has struggled to move forward because of her feelings for this particular person. The emotional connection, she said, has been so strong that it has closed her off from anyone else.

“We have been together for a long time, and I’ve shown him my love through my actions. I always make time for him, but he doesn’t reciprocate that effort.

“That’s why I feel I love him more than he loves me; he knows it too. I haven’t been in a committed relationship for eight years, and it’s all because of him,” she stated.

Bishop Ajagurajah advises men to marry more to secure their bloodline

Bishop Kwabena Asiamah aka Ajagurajah Kwabena Asiamah has given a piece of unorthodox advice to men

In an interview with GhPage, the Bishop Kwabena Asaimah argued that men who depend on only one woman for children put their bloodline at risk.

According to him, children from one marriage might make a man lose his bloodline if they grow up to be vagabonds

“Assuming a man procreates with only one woman and the woman’s stomach produces only vagabonds, he’s doomed,” Bishop Ajagurajah said. “That is why a man should marry many women to secure his lineage.”

The opening day of the final funeral rites for the late Asantehemaa, Nana Konadu Yiadom III, at the Manhyia Palace on Monday, September 15, 2025, took a dramatic turn when renowned traditional priest Kwaku Bonsam arrived spectacularly.

Mounted on horseback and flanked by a retinue of aides, Kwaku Bonsam rode into the palace forecourt in full traditional regalia.

His appearance, complete with a horned crown-helmet, a staff of authority, and the Ashanti flag held aloft, drew gasps and applause from onlookers who marveled at the powerful display of Ashanti tradition and culture.

The ongoing Dote Yie ceremony has attracted thousands of mourners from across Asanteman and beyond who have converged at the palace to pay their last respects to the revered queen mother.

Earlier in the day, the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, led chiefs and elders of Asanteman in filing past the remains of his late mother.

The solemn procession was accompanied by vibrant drumming, dancing, and cultural displays that reflected the grandeur of the Ashanti Kingdom’s royal traditions.
