Did you know that in the last 12 months, 7 African countries ie Sierra Leone, Mozambique, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Sudan and Namibia have engaged Goldbod to learn from its model with gold per its centralized, well-structured and effectively regulated gold value chain approach?
Very true my brother @edemagbana . I have lived same experience and l would like to appreciate your efforts to advise we the young ones.
We shall succeed together 🙏
Dear Young People, Please Read to the End.
This morning, let me speak directly to my colleagues and fellow young people in both the NDC and NPP.
The truth is simple: there is no formula in politics.
As internal party elections peak and the contest becomes more intense, everyone has the right to support a candidate of their choice. Support your candidate passionately. Campaign for them. Make the case for them. But never allow competition to rob you of your decency.
Do not create enemies you do not need.
Do not insult people.
Do not attack their families.
Do not destroy their character.
Do not turn political differences into personal hatred.
You can disagree without being disagreeable. You can campaign hard without being abusive. You can defend your candidate without demonising someone else’s candidate.
I speak from a lived experience.
I have seen how politics can change. The person you are insulting today may sit across the table from you tomorrow. The opponent you are trying to destroy today may become your colleague, your leader, your ally, or even the person you desperately need to help you navigate a difficult moment.
Remember, politics has a long memory.
Sometimes, the very candidates competing against each other today will converge after the elections, reconcile and work together.
And you?
You may be the only stranger in Jerusalem.
Never burn a bridge simply because you are walking a different path today.
Young people must lead the way in changing the culture of political engagement. Let our politics be about ideas, competence, vision, service and character, not insults, personal attacks and character assassination.
Fight for your candidate, but do not lose yourself in the fight.
Support your people. Defend your convictions. Contest fiercely.
But when the elections are over, let us still be able to shake hands, sit together and build Ghana.
Politics is temporary. Character stays with you.
Have a beautiful week.

A must watch video and share as well. While most of our rivers and forests are under seige from illegal miners poisoning our flora and fauna, we are at the mercy of murderous and greedy traders adding more poisonous chemicals to hasten the ripening of fruits and vegetables. The FDA and GSA must adopt such videos to intensify education against the use of these chemicals and stop their importation.
If you read nothing at all for 1 month. Read Ebi Bright’s article published yesterday on Centralised Decentralisation.
Well researched. Truly reflective, and Well articulated. And perhaps the most important take on Ghana’s self-inflicted decentralisation struggles in years.
This is something I will recommend a thousand times over for the President. John Dramani Mahama. Those with his WhatsApp number should send it to him.
It’s also a must read for all political actors.
Really good job - Ebi.

The amount of rainfall recorded today is among the highest experienced in several years. Preliminary data indicates that approximately 140 millimetres of rain fell on Accra. By comparison, the highest single-day rainfall recorded last year was about 56 millimetres.
That aspect of the problem is beyond our control because it is driven by changing climatic conditions. There is the issue of human behaviour.
Whenever government begins removing structures built in waterways, some people accuse us of being inhumane. Yet when disasters such as today's flooding occur, the consequences affect everyone. The irresponsible actions of a few individuals end up putting entire communities at risk.
Ibrahim Mahama’s Damang Gold Mine Limited sells 100% of its first gold output to GoldBod, BoG in historic move
30th April, 2026
In a bid to support foreign reserves accumulation, Ibrahim Mahama’s Damang Gold Mine Ltd. has sold 100% of its first gold output to the Ghana Gold Board.
The Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Gold Board, Sammy Gyamfi esq., received a team from Damang Gold Mine led by Mr. Ibrahim Mahama at the GoldBod Assay Laboratory in Accra earlier today, where he briefed the media about the historic transaction.
He noted that having Ghanaians at the helm of the country’s minerals and mining sector is key to maximizing national benefits, local value retention and economic transformation.
The Chief Executive Officer bemoaned the low contribution of large-scale mining companies to foreign reserve accumulation efforts of government and urged other large-scale mining companies to emulate the good example set by the Damang Gold Mine. This he said is imperative for the actualization of the objects of the Ghana Accelerated National Reserve Accumulation Program (GANRAP) launched by government and approved by Parliament.
The first output of the Damang Gold Mine delivered to the GoldBod today is about 110KG. The gold will be assayed, valued and purchased by the GoldBod for and on behalf of the Bank of Ghana, refined and added to the Central Bank’s gold holdings.

From the Lecture Halls of Legon to the Moon: Celebrating Christina Koch
I join the University of Ghana and the entire nation in celebrating NASA Astronaut Christina Koch on her historic membership of the Artemis II mission.
It is a point of immense pride to learn that Christina, the only woman on this pioneering lunar mission, was once an exchange student at our very own University of Ghana during the 1999/2000 academic year.
Her time at Legon was not just a passing visit; she truly immersed herself in our culture and heritage. By studying the History of Ghana, the History of Africa, Rural Sociology, Music, and even Twi for Beginners, she built a foundation of global citizenship right here in Accra.
Her gesture of hoisting the Ghanaian flag in outer space was a deeply touching moment for every Ghanaian. It is a testament to the fact that no matter how far one travels, even into the vastness of space, the friendships made and the lessons learned stay with you.
Christina’s journey from the classrooms of the University of Ghana to the frontiers of space exploration serves as a powerful inspiration to every young Ghanaian. It reminds us that our educational institutions continue to produce and shape global leaders who break barriers and reach for the stars.
On behalf of a proud nation, I wish Christina Koch and the entire Artemis II crew godspeed on your return journey to earth. May your success continue to inspire generations across Ghana, Africa, and the world to believe that there's no height that is insurmountable.
Congratulations, Christina.
Ghana is proud of you!
