Beyond The Pitch: How Lawrence Ati-Zigi Is Quietly Carrying Ghana’s Name Across Europe

Image
When people talk about diplomacy, the first images that usually come to mind are presidents, ambassadors, international meetings, and official agreements. But sometimes, the people who create the strongest connections between nations are not sitting in conference rooms — they are athletes, artists, and ordinary citizens making an impact far away from home. For Ghanaian goalkeeper Lawrence Ati-Zigi , every match he plays in Switzerland represents more than just football. It is an opportunity to showcase Ghana’s talent, discipline, and character to a wider audience. The outgoing Swiss Ambassador to Ghana, Benin, and Togo, Simone Giger , recently drew attention to Ati-Zigi’s growing influence in Switzerland, describing him as someone who has become “like a superstar” in the European country. For many Ghanaians, the comment is a proud reminder that success on the football field can translate into something much bigger — national recognition and cultural influence. A Ghanaian Face Fami...

Viral Agenda 111 Post Sparks Concern—But the Bigger Story Is the Need to Verify Before We Share

Image
For many Ghanaians, especially those living in districts still waiting for new health facilities, Agenda 111 is more than a government project—it represents the hope of receiving quality healthcare closer to home. That is why a social media graphic circulating on 9 July, claiming that the programme is being abandoned and handed over to private owners, has generated so much anxiety. The image attributes the alleged remarks to Kwabena Mintah Akandoh . Yet several details suggest that the post should be treated with caution. The branding appears inconsistent with the practices of established media outlets, and a policy shift of this magnitude would ordinarily be announced through official government channels, accompanied by a formal statement or press briefing. The speed with which such claims spread online shows how vulnerable we all are to misinformation. In communities across the Savannah Region and beyond, families are looking forward to the day when they will no longer have to tra...

Accra Floods: Why Ghana Must Act Now Before More Communities Face the Same Crisis

Image
The latest floods in Accra have once again reminded Ghana of a painful reality — heavy rainfall alone is not the problem. Poor drainage systems, improper waste disposal and weak urban planning continue to turn normal rains into devastating disasters. For many residents affected by the floods, the experience has been heartbreaking. Families have been forced from their homes, businesses have suffered losses, roads have become difficult to access, and communities have been left counting the cost of another disaster. The situation has renewed calls for a lasting national solution as the government says it is taking steps to address the recurring flood crisis through improved planning, stronger coordination and long-term infrastructure development. Accra Floods Expose Ghana’s Growing Urban Challenge Accra’s flooding problem has existed for years, but rapid urban growth has made the situation more complicated. As the city expands, pressure on drainage systems continues to increase, whil...
