Veteran journalist and legal practitioner, Moses Foh Amoaning, has cast doubt on Otto Addo’s suitability as head coach of the Black Stars.
Speaking in a recent interview, Foh Amoaning argued that Addo is more of a scout than a tactical leader, insisting that he is still “learning on the job like doing national service.”

Renowned Ghanaian actor Kofi Adjorlolo has made revelations that may surprise many, especially regarding the ongoing controversy surrounding the so-called “Igbo Kingdom” in Ghana.
While public debate continues, with many Ghanaians expressing outrage over the alleged establishment of an Igbo monarchy in the country, Adjorlolo appears unfazed. Instead, he chose to highlight the Igbo leader’s contributions to the Ghanaian film industry.
Speaking in a recent podcast interview, the veteran actor recounted personal experiences of how the leader, popularly referred to as Eze Ndibu, has supported the creative arts.
“We were shooting in Eze Ndibu’s house. Eze Ndibu, here in Ghana? Yes, he produced the film. That man has helped us a lot. He has helped the industry a lot. I don’t care what people talk about him. He has invested and sponsored films in Ghana. Yes, and that’s what people don’t know. Let’s leave all these matters of Igbo Kingdom aside. I don’t have anything to do with that thing at all. I don’t care. I don’t want to even know. But for what I know him for, is the fact that he has helped our industry. He’s given his house for us to shoot films. He’s given his cars for us to shoot. Yes.”
Adjorlolo’s bold remarks shift attention from the controversies to the tangible support the Igbo leader has reportedly provided. According to him, beyond the debates about tradition and recognition, the creative industry has benefited from resources such as film sponsorships, locations, and logistics provided by the Igbo leader.
The revelations may spark a new dimension to the conversation: Should Ghanaians continue to resist the idea of an Igbo kingdom, or will acknowledgment of these contributions soften public perception?
Veteran Kumawood actor Wayoosi has expressed concern over the growing trend of insults and mockery dominating the creative space of young producers. Speaking on the current state of Ghana’s entertainment industry, Wayoosi said he is often amazed—and disappointed—by the direction many young creatives are taking.
According to him, comedy and storytelling once thrived on wit, clever writing, and stubborn humor that entertained audiences without disrespect. “In our day, we relied on creativity to spark laughter, not insults,” he emphasized.
Wayoosi believes that the overreliance on mockery strips the industry of its magic and originality. He urged young producers to revisit the roots of Ghanaian comedy, where intelligence and situational humor made lasting impressions, rather than resorting to shortcuts that may gain quick attention but lack depth.
His comments have sparked fresh debate about the balance between traditional wit and modern comedic styles in the entertainment industry.
A Ghanaian man who once hustled as a trotro driver has become a shining example of perseverance and determination. After years of struggling in Ghana’s tough transport industry, he seized an opportunity to travel to the United States in search of a better life.
In America, he worked tirelessly, taking on odd jobs and saving every dollar he could. His resilience paid off — he not only stabilized his life abroad but also acquired the skills and resources needed to transform his future.
Now, years later, he has returned to Ghana with a powerful story of triumph. Instead of going back to his trotro days, he launched his own company, creating employment opportunities and inspiring many who once shared his struggles.
His journey from the steering wheel of a trotro to the boardroom of his own business serves as a reminder that with hard work, faith, and vision, transformation is always possible.
