Benjamin Mendy was charged with eight counts of rape, attempted rape, and sexual assault involving around six women. He was arrested, suspended by Manchester City, and held in custody for months.
After a lengthy trial and retrial, he was acquitted on all charges. He lost key years of his career at his peak, while his accusers faced no consequences.
The Thomas Partey case shows why the presumption of innocence is essential: no one’s livelihood should be destroyed by allegations alone, only by a proven guilty verdict in court.
Hello British press, allow the man to play his football 😡
Sir @JDMahama, I would be deeply honored to cook with you someday. Over a meal, I’d love for us to explore the future of Ghanaian food, culture and how we can showcase our cuisine to the world . Thank you 🇬🇭
It’s World Cue Day!!!
Happy birthday Bay @KOJO_Cue 🎉
Thank you for the quiet sacrifices, the strength, the patience and the love you give so freely.
I hope life gives back to you the same steadiness, care and strength you pour into others so naturally. And I hope, years from now, you still feel loved in ways that make you softer, lighter and more yourself. May life be kind to you. May your heart remain full.
Through every season, I would still choose you. Always. ❤️
Ghana is quietly introducing a whole set of digital bills, and people need to pay attention.
This is not just about tech people or government paperwork. These bills can affect how our data is used, how online businesses operate, how digital payments work, how startups are regulated, how government systems share information, how cybersecurity is handled, and even what happens when people post things online.
So don’t look at them as separate bills. Look at them as one big digital framework. If you want to understand what is happening, start reading them in this order:
1. Data Protection Bill - how your personal data is protected
2. Data Harmonisation Bill - how government and institutions can share data
3. NITA Bill - who regulates ICT businesses and digital systems
4. NCA Bill - who regulates communication networks
5. Electronic Communications Bill - rules for digital communication
6. Electronic Transactions Bill - rules for online transactions
7. Cybersecurity Amendment Bill - rules for cyber safety and cyber offences
8. Ghana Domain Name Registry Bill - rules for Ghana’s domain names
9. Emerging Technologies Bill - rules for AI, blockchain and new tech
10. Misinformation, Disinformation & Hate Speech Bill - rules for online speech
11. Ghana Meteorological Authority Bill - rules for weather and climate data
12. Postal, Courier & Logistics Commission Bill - rules for delivery and logistics
13. Digital Economy & Innovation Development Fund Bill - money for digital development
14. Kofi Annan ICT Centre Bill - training, research and ICT skills
15. Startup/Innovation Bill - rules and support for startups
Visit the Ministry of Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations website to read the bills for yourself, or go to https://t.co/LriYUnYjFx for a breakdown of what each bill means.
Most kids played with toys. Stefan Froelich(@TheDumbTechGuy) dismantled them.
His friends had a name for him: Stefan the Destroyer. Because the boy could not just accept that something worked. He needed to know why. So he would open it. VCRs. Radios. Computers that ended up in more pieces than they started in. Half of them never went back together. All of them taught him something.
That instinct never left him. It just found a bigger target.
This story does not start with code. It starts in Tamale, at the University for Development Studies, where Stefan enrolled to study Agricultural Technology. His father in Germany sent him a small netbook. With that netbook and cafe internet, he started. Failed at C++. Got lost in Python. Then someone phished him.
A friend sent a fake Facebook login page built in PHP. Stefan almost fell for it. Changed his password just in time, cornered the friend and asked one question: what language did you use?
PHP. It changed everything.
He taught himself. Blog by blog. Forum by forum. Building things nobody asked for just to see if he could. After university, he joined Fidelity Bank as a help desk officer. Password resets. Printer issues. 1,000 employees. While everyone else clocked out, Stefan kept building on the side, including an African music streaming app called Whisspa, before Deezer reached Ghana. It placed second at the MTN Apps Challenge 2.0, 2014. The market was not ready. He moved on.
From @fidelitybankgh to IBM to Petra Trust, where he cut statement generation runtime from over a week to two hours. Then @Andela. Then Ginger as a senior engineer. Then the Ginger-Headspace merger, where he rose to Staff Engineer, the highest individual contributor level, on a mental health platform serving millions globally.
From Tamale. From a help desk. From tutorials he could not understand.
Simultaneously, back home in Accra, he was building @achievebypetra_ from scratch. The team, the architecture, all of it. Today: 500,000+ users, GHS 1.7 billion in transactions processed, and a Fintech CTO of the Year 2025 nomination.
He has 71 open source projects on GitHub. He built Plutonium, a Rails framework designed from the ground up for AI-assisted development. He runs Radioactive Labs. He consults teams worldwide. He mentors developers through DevCongress. He runs a development firm from Accra.
He named himself dumb so he would never stop learning.
Stefan the Destroyer. Now building things that hold.
@FamilyguyKwadwo@SIKAOFFICIAL1 haaa, how did i never come back to this😃 interesting side Snr. kindly take read the chapter to understand verse 8 properly. I am not asking you to learn from me- NO! I am asking to guide you understand this properly 😊

@SIKAOFFICIAL1 Collection of tithe is not a New Testament (Christian) practice. moreover, proof read all the Bible text/ passages used to justify it as a Christian practise to see whether money was used in paying or goods mainly farm products and livestock.
@FamilyguyKwadwo@SIKAOFFICIAL1 Brother, Christianity started in Acts 2, amongs all the Apostles who were specially trained by Christ for the Course (Church) Paul inclusive. Raise to us one Apostle who tithed anybody who had accepted the message of the Gospel to join the Church.

Ghana’s first bike-sharing company is going electric. Aldin Cycles (@aldincycles), founded by young Ghanaian entrepreneurs, is expanding its fleet with pedal-assisted e-bikes.
Since launching in 2025, the company has steadily grown a strong user base, surpassing 25,000 sign-ups and recording over 75,000 completed rides, clear evidence of how effective bike-sharing can be on university campuses.
As part of its next phase, Aldin Cycles is engaging several major universities, with plans to roll out pilot programs before the end of 2026.
