Prioritize Education, Avoid Distractions – Municipal Director to Youth


The Ablekuma West Municipal Coordinating Director, Mr. Samuel Amoah, has called on young people to prioritize education and personal development, warning against the dangers of gambling, social media distractions, and moral decay. Speaking at the 68th Independence Day celebration at Karikari Park in Dansoman, Mr. Amoah emphasized that Ghana’s future depends on disciplined, educated, and morally upright youth.

Addressing students, he highlighted the importance of education in securing a better future, urging them to avoid teenage pregnancy, drug abuse, and excessive use of social media, particularly TikTok. “Education is the key to unlocking your potential. Do not let distractions like bad friends and social media ruin your future,” he cautioned.

Mr. Amoah also expressed concern about the growing influence of sports betting among young people, describing it as a dangerous habit that could lead to addiction and financial ruin. “Instead of gambling your future away, invest in your education, apprenticeship, and personal growth. Your potential is limitless,” he advised.

Beyond academics, he urged the youth to uphold values such as respect, honesty, and hard work, noting that the rapid decline of moral standards is alarming. He called on parents to play an active role in shaping their children's future by prioritizing their education over unnecessary expenses like alcohol, gambling, and lavish funerals.

As Ghana marks 68 years of independence, Mr. Amoah encouraged the youth to see this milestone as a moment of reflection, renewal, and resetting their priorities. “Our country needs disciplined and educated leaders for tomorrow. Your choices today will determine the strength and prosperity of our nation in the future,” he concluded.

Royal Jamong Family Raises Alarm Over Alleged Political Interference in Bunkpurugu Chieftaincy Dispute

Image
The Royal Jamong Family of Bunkpurugu has expressed deep concern over what it describes as political interference by Vice President Dr. Mahamud Bawumia and the NPP parliamentary candidate for Bunkpurugu, Mr. Solomon N. Boar, in the ongoing chieftaincy dispute surrounding the Bunkpurugu skin. In a strongly-worded statement, the family accused the two politicians of exerting undue pressure on the National House of Chiefs, a move that they believe undermines the integrity of the chieftaincy institution. The family pointed to recent comments made by Abuba, who claimed that his uncle, Vice President Bawumia, had promised to ensure that a pending judgment in the chieftaincy case would be delayed indefinitely. This, the Royal Jamong Family warned, is a "sad development and a recipe for disaster." The family has also documented Mr. Boar's activities, including a recent trip to Accra with Abuba to meet the Vice President. This has led the family to question the motivations behind ...

The African Faith Tabernacle Church has emerged victorious in a protracted legal battle over its leadership. Superior Prophet Michael Opoku Nkansah, the successor of the late Superior Prophet David Nkansah II and head of the church worldwide, addressed a press conference to announce the landmark ruling by the Adenta High Court. The conflict began nearly three years ago when Prophet Michael Opoku Nkansah was appointed as the church’s Superior Prophet following the passing of his predecessor. His appointment, in accordance with the church’s constitution, was challenged by a faction within the church who opposed his installation. This group filed a series of legal actions, including an application to restrain him from performing his duties and a contempt motion against him and eight other chief pastors. In a decisive ruling on January 17, 2024, the Adenta High Court dismissed both the injunction and the contempt application. The case reached its climax on December 10, 2024, when the court...

Image
Dr. Nathaniel Acolatse, a Deputy Chief Physician Assistant at Ga West Municipal Hospital, is challenging the Tema TDC Court to make public the court order his former wife, Maria Fianyo, claimed to have received. According to Maria, the judge at the Tema TDC Court instructed her to take custody of their children and warned her not to allow Dr. Acolatse any access to them. Dr. Acolatse questions the legitimacy of this order and dares the court to release the unedited Social Enquiry Report. "I challenge the Tema TDC Court to make public the supposed court order Maria Fianyo claims to have received, instructing her to take the children and barring me from seeing them," Dr. Acolatse stated. "I also demand that the court release the full, unedited Social Enquiry Report. The issue revolves around a decent apartment where my children were happily staying versus an uncompleted building where Maria was residing—a choice that the Tema TDC Court inexplicably preferred." Dr. Aco...
