🚨Editor’s note: This piece was originally written and published ahead of the 2024/2025 season. As we progress through the 2025/2026 campaign, its central questions about marketing, visibility, and intentional promotion of the Ghana Premier League remain just as relevant, if not more urgent.

Before starting her “ice block” business in Upper East (Bolga), my grandmother consulted existing sellers in the Bongo area. She had no idea how well her venture would fare, and I remember her talking to my mother over the phone, both completely lost! Yet, despite having no formal education, her instinctive desire to understand the market was remarkable. She’s a self-proclaimed “first-class illiterate,” but her resourcefulness was unmatched.
One of her suggestions, despite having limited resources, was to create posters and banners to promote her business to passersby. She knew the value of marketing, even without stepping foot in a classroom. I’m sure she observed how big brands like Guinness, MTN, and Closeup use traditional advertising to reach their audiences.
The Ghana Football Association (GFA) could take a page out of this playbook to market the Ghana Premier League (GPL). Before the English Premier League kicks off, there are promotional videos everywhere. They have world-class players like Salah, Haaland, and Kevin De Bruyne, and even iconic managers like Pep Guardiola, names with global recognition that can attract attention without much advertising. Yet, they still invest in marketing.
On the other hand, in my early 20s, I have yet to see any billboards with images, names, team logos, or anything promoting the GPL around town. Perhaps the GFA thinks it’s solely the responsibility of the clubs. Gone are the days when names like Mahatma Otoo, Ruben Gnagne, Eric Bekoe, and Felix Annan drew fans to the stadium. Times have changed.
I recall Guinness Ghana partnering with influencers and journalists to cast a spotlight on the 2024/2025 English Premier League season, planned, intentional, and well executed. Similarly, SportyBet has partnered with clubs like Real Madrid and Manchester City to boost their global presence, using players in advertisements to engage fans and enhance brand appeal.
What can the FA do to inspire the younger generation?
Back in primary, JHS, and SHS, my exercise books were covered with images of Premier League stars like John Terry, Gary Cahill, and Wayne Rooney. Where is that kind of visibility for the Ghana Premier League today?

Like it or not, the problem isn’t long hair — it’s BLACK HAIR.
Because long after school and into the workplace, locs and certain natural hairstyles are still frowned upon. It’s only in recent years that we’ve begun to see real acceptance.
Yet, somehow, weaves remain more “acceptable” in professional spaces.
The years of indoctrination have done a number on us.
I shudder for a people who have no desire to challenge the systems that should evolve with the times.
These are the same people who once told us not to wear shoes to school, to fight barefoot in wars, while they enjoyed every privilege we were denied.
Someone asked, “If this is allowed, what next?”
And my answer is simple: I don’t know.
But what I do know is that as a growing society, we exist to challenge systems, check excesses, and meet the world where it’s at.
If we didn’t, we’d still be digging farms with our bare hands.
@lydiaforson Exactly so! @lydiaforson
Years later, we're wondering why ladies are not confident in their hairs and prefer artificial hair......Something which could have be invalidated if they had grown their hairs from childhood 🙄
*sigh
Every time this conversation comes up, an army shows up in my mentions with the same tired lines: “It helps them focus.” “It makes them less attractive to predatory men.” “It disciplines them.”
Meanwhile, girls are still harassed, struggle in class and can be truant if they want.
And schools that allow braids, puffs, locs and all, shockingly, still produce excellent students.
Because the issue was never hair.
This rule is archaic. We treat it like sacred tradition because it’s easier than asking why it exists and whether it serves girls today.
And years later we wonder why women’s confidence is tangled up in their hair; why some spend fortunes trying to “fix” what we taught them was wrong; why so many don’t know how to care for their natural hair as adults.
From childhood, we told them their very texture is a problem.
Let’s update the rules: allow neat, healthy natural hair; teach hair care as part of hygiene, how hard is that?
I’ve been asking this for a long time?
What happens when we cut our hair?
Does it make us smarter?
Is it more distracting than the chores we do?
And our parents went to the same schools without cutting their hair those days & turned out fine, so what happened?
@SIKAOFFICIAL1 It's time we got over these acts as a country. It's 2025, for God's sake!
The worst part is that it's only applicable to natives and foreigners are allowed to keep their..... Look at that!
Then we wonder why ladies fancy foreign artificial hair, when they can grow their hair from childhood and have it at the length they desire when old.
When are we going to move past this?
Sigh!
Newly enrolled student at the Yaa Asantewaa Girls’ Senior High School visibly distraught, after trimming her hair as part of school enrollment requirements.
Every movement told a story, of ancestors who laid down their swords and chose peace.
Etornam embodied the spirit of Dzawuwu Za, reminding us that true strength lies not in battle, but in harmony.
