In 2021, I met a little boy in Darkuman who was making toy cars out of pieces of wood.
I remember looking at him and thinking, “This child is gifted.”
But behind that gift was a painful story.
Prince Kojo was being raised by a single mother who was struggling to make ends meet. He had very little support and was enduring abuse at the hands of his stepfather. Like many children born into difficult circumstances, he had talent, dreams, and potential, but not the opportunities he needed to thrive.
By the grace of God, we took him under our care at @FTFGhana, supported his education, secured a scholarship for him to study Robotics at Asustem Robotics, and helped put him on the right path to gain admission to a TVET school, where he started studying Auto Mechanics last year.
Today, Prince Kojo is beginning a sponsored automotive training programme at the West African Vehicle Academy in Accra during his school vacation.
Sometimes I look at his journey and wonder what would have happened if nobody had stopped to care.
How many brilliant children are out there right now, full of potential but trapped by circumstances they did not choose?
Prince Kojo’s story reminds me that talent is everywhere, but opportunity is not.
And sometimes, all it takes to change a child’s life forever is one person deciding to believe in them.
Who knows what is next for him? Maybe one day he will build his own automobile company. Maybe he will design vehicles that transform the industry, or perhaps he will start his own toy car manufacturing company.
What I do know is this: his story is only just beginning.
And I could not be more proud of him. ❤️
@cdrafrica The players should stay in their country and fix their country....

The number of boys dem Dey pick up in Accra daily be crazy…if you’re into fraud, money laundering, romance scam or related activities, this is not the best time! If you nor Dey hear from your “chairman” dem carry am go. The security agencies are not joking!
Think about it,
If President Mahama can generate revenue without running to the IMF or introducing new taxes, settle debts, cancel about five taxes introduced by the NPP, and still pay contractors,
then with all the taxes and loans the NPP had, why couldn’t they pay contractors? Where exactly was the money going?
No Farmers, No Food, No Future. 🚜 🇬🇭
It’s time to stop taking our food security for granted. Our farmers are the soul of this land, and they deserve more than just words—they need our action. Stand tall with Ghanaian farmers in 2026! 🌾💪
She decided to sell “pure water” for 0.50p when everybody was selling it at Ghc1. Today, she has been blessed with fridge from Hisense, stocked with drinks & water plus Ghc5,000. She is now a “pure water” wholesaler with workers.
Moral lesson: Stop cheating Ghanaians customers!
I need a favour from you guys
Dr Likee is doing something big but I feel the support from the media is quite low. To me this is a big deal. One way or the other we need to push this event. The least you can do is share his artworks and get tickets. #DrLikeeLive
In March 2024, the Ghana FA set a five-pronged criteria to look for a coach. Per the criteria, only Sir Alex Ferguson and to some extent, Guardiola, Ancelotti and Mourinho etc could qualify for the role.
Then, they settled with Otto Addo, through man-hunt.
His first major task was to win AFCON 2025.
He ended up not qualifying for the tournament at all, the first time by Ghana in 20 years.
No manager in the world would have survived after such debacle. Yet, they gave him a vote of confidence.
It remains one of the most inexplicable administrative decisions ever made.
It was an error from the start.
Wow, she is a student of Bolga Girls SHS, and she came to participate in the Street Art Exhibition at Asokwa. She did a very beautiful artwork.
Well done Lady 👌
RIP to Godfred Akomaning of UENR. My deepest condolences to his family and the entire university community.
A reminder that we must create safe spaces where boys can openly share their emotions. #BoysLivesMatter
The Ashanti Regional Minister is platforming talents and globalizing Asante Culture through his innovative Art, Culture and Craft street Challenge. Great Stuff 🫡
These stunning works are by Visual Arts students from various Senior High Schools across the Ashanti Region, showcased at the Street Art Festival at the Asokwa Interchange. 🎨✨
Pure masterpieces, beautifully executed and full of creativity. Kudos to all the schools and talented students who contributed their skills to transform and beautify the space.
Their consistency and turnout whenever called upon are truly admirable. Indeed, High School students from the Ashanti Region continue to set the standard! 👍🔥
Special appreciation to the Ashanti Regional Minister for championing such a brilliant and impactful initiative.
🇨🇲 Samuel Eto'o on CAF giving Morocco the AFCON:
"They have given the world a reason to never take AFCON. Seriously, how will you lose a final and win it two months later?"
"The whole world knows the real winners. Senegal have proof that they won the AFCON."
“Before you succeed, you have to be a failure”
—Throwback to Shatta Wale’s interview on JoyFM, where he noted that his failure as Bandana served as a formative period for his success on the music scene.
A new front opens up between #Kigali and #Kinshasa over the election of the Secretary-General of the Organisation internationale de la Francophonie (OIF). Tshisekedi has nominated Juliana Lumumba to challenge Rwanda’s Louise Mushikiwabo.

#France is taking its Africa summit to #Nairobi in May — not Paris, not Dakar, not Abidjan. That shows how much the map of French influence has changed. Our correspondents report on President Macron’s attempted reset in #Africa. #AfricaFranceSummit

President #Macron wants a #FranceAfrica ‘reset’ in Nairobi on 11-12 May, with #Kenya and Uganda co-hosting and Germany and India brought in too. The message: less old-school Françafrique, more multipolar deal-making. #Geopolitics

#Tinubu has three strategies to mitigate Trumpian volatility on #Nigeria: pushing back on the most egregious claims, buying #US bombs and rockets for the Nigerian military, and hiring the Republican-associated DCI Group to promote Tinubu’s cause.
