Spain — Ghanaian midfielder Thomas Teye Partey made a return to action on Saturday, coming off the bench in the second half as Villarreal secured a resounding 5-0 victory over Girona in La Liga.

Partey was introduced at the start of the second half, replacing a midfield colleague in the 46th minute, as Villarreal tightened their grip on the game. The Yellow Submarine had already shown dominance in the first half, but Partey’s entry further stabilized their midfield, ensuring complete control until the final whistle.

The Black Stars midfielder, who recently joined Villarreal, has been gradually working his way into match fitness. His performance on the night was described as “composed and effective,” with sharp passing and solid defensive cover that gave the forwards freedom to push higher.

Villarreal’s goals came through a stunning attacking display that overwhelmed Girona, a side known for their strong season form. The emphatic 5-0 scoreline was one of Villarreal’s biggest wins of the season and further lifted morale in their camp.

For Ghanaian fans, Partey’s minutes will come as good news ahead of upcoming national team assignments, especially as coach Otto Addo continues to build his squad around experienced players in top European leagues.

With this commanding win, Villarreal also boosted their position in the La Liga table, while Partey looks set to earn more minutes as he integrates fully into the Spanish side’s system.

Accra, Ghana — President John Dramani Mahama’s official working visit to Japan and participation in the 9th Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD 9) has delivered significant economic gains for Ghana.

A landmark highlight of the trip was the signing of a new agreement with global automobile giant Toyota. Under the deal, Toyota will expand its operations in Ghana and establish the country as its West African hub for automobile assembly and distribution.

According to officials, the agreement is expected to create thousands of direct and indirect jobs for Ghanaians, boost technology transfer, and position Ghana as a competitive player in the region’s automotive industry. The expansion will also enhance the local supply chain by involving Ghanaian businesses in the production and distribution process.

President Mahama described the Toyota deal as “a turning point in Ghana’s industrial growth,” adding that it aligns with his broader vision of accelerating manufacturing and job creation across key sectors.

“This partnership with Toyota does not only strengthen Ghana’s industrial base but also ensures that our country remains the preferred destination for global investment in West Africa,” the President stated.

Toyota representatives expressed optimism about the collaboration, praising Ghana’s stable business climate and strategic location as ideal conditions for their West African hub.

The agreement comes at a time when Ghana is intensifying efforts to diversify its economy, reduce reliance on imports, and expand opportunities for its growing youth population.

President Mahama’s Japan visit also opened discussions on further cooperation in energy, infrastructure, and digital technology, signaling stronger ties between Ghana and Japan in the years ahead.

Viral Video: East Detroit Man Turns His Own Funeral Into A Rain Of Money From The Sky

Detroit, USA – A man known across East Detroit for his generosity gave his community one final shock at his funeral — by literally making it rain money from a helicopter.

Darrell “Plant” Thomas, a respected car wash owner and community pillar, passed away at age 58 after battling Alzheimer’s. But even in death, he found a way to say “thank you” to the people who had supported him throughout his life.

On Friday, as mourners gathered to pay their last respects, a helicopter appeared above the neighborhood and showered down cash, leaving the crowd screaming in disbelief. Children and adults rushed to grab the bills, not just as money, but as a powerful reminder of a man who always gave without expecting anything in return.

For years, Thomas was known as the man who helped struggling families with free car washes, handed jobs to jobless youth, and quietly blessed neighbors in need. His friends say this act sums up his entire life.

“Plant was never about keeping riches to himself. He believed blessings are meant to be shared,” said his close friend Marcus Reed. “This is the legacy he wanted to leave.”

His daughter revealed that Thomas had planned the money drop long ago. “He didn’t want his funeral to be full of tears. He wanted joy, laughter, and a memory nobody would forget,” she said.

And indeed, nobody in East Detroit will forget the day their beloved car wash man turned his own farewell into a celebration — making it rain one last time.

CSP Abdul Latif Rules Out Nana Agradaa from Presidential Amnesty List

The Ghana Prisons Service has officially dismissed widespread reports that controversial preacher-turned-evangelist Nana Agradaa (Patricia Asiamah) was among the beneficiaries of the recent presidential amnesty granted by President Mahama.

CSP Abdul Latif, the Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the Ghana Prisons Service, addressed the rumors in a televised interview. He confirmed that Nana Agradaa does not qualify for amnesty at this time, emphasizing that the process had already been finalized before her incarceration commenced.

Amnesty Criteria Not Met by Nana Agradaa

CSP Latif explained the established criteria for eligibility in the presidential amnesty. Inmates must have served at least half of their sentence, and their cases are assessed by a panel of prison officials before being recommended for pardon. Nana Agradaa, having only recently begun serving her prison term, has not yet met this halfway threshold, rendering her ineligible for consideration.

He also noted that the amnesty process concluded prior to her conviction and sentencing, making it impossible for her to have been included in the amnesty list.

Background: Nana Agradaa’s Conviction

Nana Agradaa was sentenced on July 3, 2025, by an Accra Circuit Court, receiving a 15-year prison term with hard labour. She was found guilty on two counts of defrauding by false pretences and one count of charlatanic advertisement. These charges stem from a televised broadcast in 2022 where she claimed to possess spiritual powers capable of doubling money—claims that defrauded numerous followers.

Public Reaction and Next Steps

News that President Mahama had granted amnesty to 998 prisoners on August 18, 2025, prompted speculation about which high-profile inmates might be included. However, CSP Latif’s clarification has firmly quashed any belief that Nana Agradaa was among them.

While she may become eligible in the future, this will depend on serving the requisite portion of her sentence and being selected by the designated panel.

Courier riders across the country have raised serious concerns over the high cost of licensing and what they describe as unfair arrests by the Postal and Courier Services Regulatory Commission.

In a petition submitted to the Youth Employment Agency (YEA), the riders appealed to Chief Executive Officer Malik Basintale to intervene and protect their livelihoods. According to them, the rising fees and ongoing arrests are threatening their operations and pushing many out of business.

Responding to their concerns, Mr. Basintale confirmed that he has already engaged the Minister of Communications, Digital Technology and Innovation, Hon. Sam George, on the matter. He revealed that the Minister assured him immediate steps are being taken to stop the arrests while a lasting solution to the licensing challenges is worked out.

The intervention is expected to bring relief to thousands of young people who depend on courier services for their daily income, as discussions continue to make licensing more affordable and supportive of youth employment.

Medikal Exposed For Turning His Back On Shatta Wale?

The streets are talking, and the question on everyone’s lips is simple: Where was Medikal when Shatta Wale needed him most?

Fans say Medikal has proven to be a “fair-weather friend”—all smiles, hugs, and hype when the news is good, but completely silent when the storm hit. While loyal SM fans flooded social media calling for Wale’s release from EOCO, Medikal reportedly stayed quiet—no posts, no appearances, no encouragement to the movement.

To make matters worse, just yesterday, while his close ally Shatta Wale was still facing detention drama, Medikal was busy sharing food snaps on Snapchat. For many fans, this was the last straw—a clear sign that his priorities may not align with the brotherhood he always preaches.

Now, SM fans are warning Shatta Wale to be cautious. In their eyes, true loyalty is tested in difficult times, not in moments of celebration. They argue that a real friend would have stood firmly by Wale’s side, both publicly and privately, when the world was watching.

As the conversation grows louder online, the big debate remains: has Medikal just been exposed as a sellout, or is there more to the story than fans are seeing?

Expect performance clips, a visual rollout, and remix possibilities tailored for amapiano and uptempo club formats.

A classic silhouette is back in the spotlight as Nana Ama McBrown, Serwaa Amihere and other style leaders fuel a kaba-and-long-skirt resurgence on Ghanaian timelines. Recent photo drops have triggered trending threads dissecting fabric choices, tailoring, headwrap pairings and how the look translates from churchwear to red-carpet glam. Fashion editors say the revival blends nostalgia with a modern, body-positive fit—exactly the type of cyclical trend that social media accelerates. 

The conversation isn’t just aesthetic. Designers report increased inquiries about bespoke versions, with bridesmaids’ requests and weekend-owambe bookings rising in tandem. Comment sections brim with practical tips—where to source kente blends, the merits of hand-beading, and how to style with minimalist jewelry. For influencers, it’s a win-win: heritage-forward content with algorithm-friendly visuals. 

If the momentum holds through August, expect boutique pop-ups and micro-collections keyed to the silhouette, plus styling reels that push the look beyond formal events into brunch and media-appearance territory. In a year where Ghanaian pop culture is traveling globally, this is a reminder that the runway often starts at home.

Global alt-pop innovator Amaarae has released her album Black Star alongside a glossy video for “Fineshyt,” a club-ready cut that pays cheeky homage to turn-of-the-millennium dance anthems. The visual—shot with neon flair in Ghana—follows a nocturnal storyline and leans into kinetic edits, vocoder sheen and fashion-forward styling. Early reviews have been emphatic, with the project earning “Best New Music” tags and cementing her status as a boundary-pusher within Afropop’s avant lane. 

Months of build-up preceded the drop: the single “S.M.O.” teased a palette blending Ghanaian highlife textures with Detroit club bass and zouk colors, positioning Black Star as a genre-hopping showcase. With the album now out, attention shifts to festival bookings and global tour routing as the tracks find their natural habitats: fashion runways, late-night DJ sets and eclectic pop playlists. 

For Ghana’s scene, Amaarae’s high-concept rollout underscores a creative corridor where homegrown influences are flipped into world-beating pop statements. Expect collaborations, remixes and visual micro-stories to extend Black Star’s lifespan well into year-end lists—and to inspire a new wave of experimental crossovers among Accra’s rising producers.
