#EweSpace: For those turning a simple historical correction into an ethnic argument, here’s a chance to learn.
Acknowledging the song’s origins takes nothing away from Ghana’s heritage.
Let’s appreciate the facts and stop this needless tribalism. 🇬🇭

If you’ve heard “yɛn ara yasaase ni” you might recognize the person featured in the new Heritage series 20 cedi note.
The note honors Dr. Ephraim Amu, an iconic composer and musicologist. He revolutionized Ghanaian musical arts by blending indigenous rhythms with classical forms, giving the nation timeless patriotic masterpieces.
The background draws from the vibrant world of arts, performance, and cultural expression, represented by the Dono Adinkra symbol, inspired by the talking drum to connect rhythm, music, and communication.

…Illustrating this post with the note that quite literally has an Ewe man’s face on it is so –
the absence of Ga samai and Ewe dzesiwo from Bank of Ghana heritage notes is not merely aesthetic; it is symbolic violence that normalises Akan hegemony in state iconography. This sort of selective representation turns public currency into a site of exclusion, reproducing ++

Something something “collaboration with the Spanish authorities” something something “controlled delivery” etc
Spanish authorities have seized approximately 2,600 kilograms of cocaine concealed in a shipment of coconuts originating from Ghana’s Tema Port.
The consignment, which arrived at the Port of Valencia on August 22, 2026, was found to contain cocaine hidden in false compartments beneath wooden crates.
Two suspects, including the importer and the person responsible for unloading the shipment, have been arrested in connection with the seizure.

Los derechos humanos de las bandas armadas.
El mundo necesita un reseteo.
Amnistía Internacional insta a los Gobiernos de Haití y El Salvador a garantizar el respeto a los derechos humanos en la lucha contra las bandas armadas.

Lmaoo. Are we going to pretend this is not a ripple effect of adopting their lingo ?? The sha sha you people dey do, den what you figa go happen ??
How’s this an apartment?
Words mean things.
The Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) says its officers, together with officials from the Lands Commission, have visited a six-bedroom apartment belonging to Chairman Wontumi at Tema Community 12 to take measurements and coordinates for a professional valuation.
According to EOCO, the property was frozen last year, and the exercise forms part of due process. The activity was completed in less than 10 minutes without any incident.

Somewhere the task is done;
Somewhere the heart is stronger,
Somewhere the guerdon won.”

Ah well.
When the citizens wake up, that day will be a day of revolution.
1. The state pays police officers.
2. Police officers incur huge expenses for the state to operate.
3. The state bears the primary responsibility for enforcing criminal laws.
Yet the state willingly gives a third party 40% of the total fines it receives, even though it bears the major costs of road construction, road traffic enforcement, maintaining a police force, and running a court system to handle cases where fines are challenged.
Why not pay for the software and set up the human resource base to run it?
But if it is done that way, how else can the politician's financier milk the state?
Somehow, citizens are defending this.
I genuinely didn't see this coming! 😳
As someone who advocates for technology and public policies that improve lives, this Traffitech-GH revelation has changed how I look at the initiative.
Ghana's Ministry of Finance reports that 40% of traffic fine revenue is earmarked for a private company, Nationwide Traffic Management and Enforcement Ltd (NTMEL), while the government receives 60%.
And who owns NTMEL?
• Frank Osei, Ghanaian entrepreneur: 60%
• Sensys Gatso, Swedish traffic technology company: 40%. The contract runs for 11 years, from December 2022 to December 2033, with an estimated project investment of GH¢77.73 million.
I've always supported technology that makes our roads safer. But this raises serious questions for me.
If a private operator earns more when motorists commit more offences, how do we ensure road safety remains the priority, not revenue generation?
What happens to poorly marked roads, missing speed-limit signs and unclear school zones?
I'm not against Traffitech. I'm questioning the incentives behind its implementation.
Are we building a safer road network or a revenue-generating enforcement system?
Ghanaians deserve transparency on this arrangement.

We used to have boating events on the Korle Lagoon. That is how low we have sunk.
The Odaw river was pristine.
