Quick thoughts: After what's happened to Omar Artan and Thomas Partey regarding immigration, will FIFA — an organisation that has been so powerful when dealing with countries in the past — have the moral right to bully anyone else in future?
A day after The Athletic broke the news that Canada had denied Thomas Partey a visa on the basis of “maintaining safety and security”, the Ghana midfielder was filmed interacting with children during a community event on Saturday at Bryant University in Smithfield, Rhode Island.

“We express our sincere appreciation to @WHO for your steadfast technical guidance, policy leadership and global advocacy efforts for national blood programs and initiatives” ~ Dr Shirley Owusu-Ofori, CEO @NBSGhana speaking at the #WorldBloodDonorDay Commemoration.
"Blood donation is not only a medical act. It is an act of kindness. It is one person choosing to help another without expecting anything in return” ~ Dr @BrakaFiona speaking at the #WorldBloodDonorDay Commemoration.
Led by Dr @BrakaFiona, we paid a courtesy call on @WorldBankGroup Division Director for Ghana, Liberia & Sierra Leone, Robert Taliercio O'Brien.
Together, we reaffirmed our commitment to strategic partnerships, efficiency & coordinated action to improve health outcomes in Ghana.
The answer is clearly no @BBCNews.
@FIFAcom lost control of it own @FIFAWorldCup on Dec 5, 2025 when a fictitious #FIFA Peace Prize was invented.
The referee case is just one of the outcomes of that turning point.
“ When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men in a society, over the course of time they create for themselves a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it.”
- Frédéric Bastiat
What an absolute disgrace. A FIFA-certified referee being denied entry to the United States purely because he is Somali.
The World Cup is meant to bring people together. This is racism, plain and simple. Shameful.

#Outbreaks begin & end with the community. They’re the success of any surveillance system - they’re not just consumers of “expert instructions”.
Engaging the community is never rushed. Every respectful “hello” is weaved into the strength of the fabric of trust. #UntilWeAreAllSafe
Accra flooded again yesterday. June 3. The anniversary of the 2015 disaster.
We have a $350 million World Bank project called GARID designed specifically to fix this. But somewhere between the debt default, the IMF programme, and the fiscal consolidation that followed, it became a casualty.
Ghana’s economic crisis and resulting fiscal consolidation efforts forced spending cuts. The result was 16 months without a single disbursement. For instance, government introduced a funding ceiling on project disbursement last year and swept 13.8m cedis from the project’s designated account. While Accra flooded every season, contractors demobilized and drain works stalled.
Six years in, only 40% of $350 million has been used. Detention ponds not built. The Ayidan landfill not built. Nima’s wastewater sewers not completed. Over 3,370 displaced persons profiled but not yet compensated. And the entire $150 million additional financing approved in 2023 remains completely untouched.
The World Bank has now warned Ghana formally: confirm sustained funding disbursement or the project’s continuation is at risk.
To its credit, government has begun responding. The swept funds were returned in March 2026, a withdrawal application of $10.5 million was processed, and a formal restructuring request submitted. Steps in the right direction, but the World Bank’s own assessment notes these have only partially eased the financing gap.
June 3 demands more than remembrance. It demands follow-through

"Globally, tobacco-related diseases kill around 8 million people each year, including more than 1 million deaths from second-hand smoke" ~ Dr @BrakaFiona speaking at the commemoration of the #WNTD2026
We join @fdaghana to commemorate #WorldNoTobaccoDay2026.
This year’s theme shines light on how tobacco and nicotine companies use flavours, packaging and marketing to attract young people and hide the harms.
Together, let’s protect our youth and build a tobacco-free future.
