  Congratulations to Ibrahim Mahama on #DzataCement. You believed in it, you worked at it! We must support our own to succeed. The fight is not among ourselves as Ghanaians but how we succeed in an ever-integrating Africa in an unforgiving competitive world of producers vs others. https://t.co/mjFJe7HsYG

  My friends, you crossed oceans and helped build nations. You sent money home and taught your children to love a country some had never seen. That love must never end with one generation. We are moving to extend citizenship by descent to the great-grandchildren of Bajans. They, too, must have the choice to come home. So bring the children. Bring the grandchildren. Let them walk where their grandparents walked. Let them feel the love behind the stories. To our family in Toronto and across the world, you are ours. We are yours. There will always be a place for you here. One people. One Barbados. Bajan to the bone.

  The Eyes of Ghana is a 90-minute documentary directed by Ben Proudfoot, with Barack and Michelle Obama as executive producers through Higher Ground Productions. The story centres on Chris Hesse, Kwame Nkrumah’s personal cameraman. Hesse filmed Ghana’s independence era, Nkrumah’s leadership and the wider African liberation movement. Following the 1966 coup, much of this footage disappeared from public view. This documentary follows his effort, in his nineties, to recover and return an archive of more than 1,300 film reels. A central figure is Ghanaian filmmaker Anita Afonu, who is also a producer. She works with Hesse to bring this history to a younger generation, including through an intended public screening at the Rex cinema (does it still exist) in Accra. This gives the documentary both a historical story and a personal one: an elderly filmmaker passing his life’s work to someone determined to preserve it. Its significance goes beyond Nkrumah. It raises the question of who preserves and gets to tell Ghana’s history. The footage offers a Ghanaian perspective on independence and Pan-African ambition, alongside a portrait of the people who recorded those events.

  Ghana’s ruling party has fallen into a cleverly laid political booby trap, forced by relentless opposition pressure to concede the truth and become unlikely apostles of Dr Bawumia: the PROBLEM-SOLVER they once dismissed, but whose formula now anchors their economic management. https://t.co/F3YReL9QZX

  A judge of Ghanaian descent stood up for a principle as old as justice itself: people should not be stopped by the state simply because of how they look, how they speak, or the kind of work they do. In July 2026, U.S. District Judge Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong ruled that federal immigration agents (ICE) could not stop and question people based on their apparent race or ethnicity, their accent, the language they speak, or the type of work they do or its location. Her decision recognised a simple truth: in a free society, the burden should not be on innocent people to prove they belong because they fit someone’s stereotype. The U.S. Court of Appeals declined to suspend her ruling. But the U.S. Supreme Court, by a conservative majority, lifted her order. Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s separate opinion argued that factors such as apparent ethnicity, limited English proficiency, and certain occupations could contribute to “reasonable suspicion” for immigration enforcement. The consequences are real. Several American citizens have been stopped and questioned because they looked or sounded as though they might be undocumented immigrants per Kavanaugh’s profiling. Judge Frimpong did her best to preserve the dignity and constitutional rights of people who do not look or sound the way ICE officers might expect an American to look or sound. The Supreme Court saw it differently. History often remembers those who stood for liberty even when they were overruled. Judge Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong deserves to be remembered as one of them.

  This is class. This is maturity. This is patriotism. 🇬🇭 Shatta Wale has genuinely impressed me with this. And, let’s not forget that when Shatta Fest UK had to be cancelled over crowd safety concerns, Stonebwoy was quick to publicly send him a message of solidarity. The real competition is out there, not between ourselves. The day one Ghanaian artiste truly breaks through globally on the scale of Davido or Burna Boy or beyond, the magnetic effect will lift the entire Ghanaian music industry and the many with global potential. It’s time to move beyond the parochial rivalry between these two great ambassadors of Ghanaian music. When they win, Ghana wins. Let them move forward together. 🇬🇭

  Ghana was under direct British colonial rule for 83 years, from 1874 (1901 when you add Asante and the North) to 1957. We have now governed ourselves for nearly 70 years. Colonialism left deep scars, but how long can it remain the explanation for failures produced by our own choices, leaders and institutions? Discuss.

  4th August is no ordinary date in Ghana’s history. It is one of the defining threads that runs through our nation’s political awakening, notably 1897 and 1947. Kojo Oppong Nkrumah explains… https://t.co/5JI0t4zNRR
