Power fully restored in Tamale following Energy Minister’s intervention

On August 6, 2025, electricity supply was fully restored in Tamale and surrounding communities, thanks to swift action and stakeholder engagement led by the Minister for Energy and Green Transition, John Abdulai Jinapor, after field staff from NEDCo and VRA withdrew services over safety concerns. The blackout had left thousands without power following the suspension of field operations by NEDCo and VRA staff, who cited violent attacks against personnel as the primary reason for halting service delivery across the region. Minister Jinapor returned from leave on August 4 and personally visited the Northern Region, convening with key stakeholders including the Northern Regional Minister, Tamale Mayor, NEDCo and VRA management, and representatives of their Senior Staff Association and Union—alongside regional security chiefs—to iron out immediate restoration protocols. In a show of inclusive diplomacy, he also met with traditional authorities—visiting the Gukpenaa, Kuga […]

400 Nkwanta SHS final‑year students now boarders amid security fears

As of August 6, 2025, 400 final‑year students at Nkwanta Senior High School (NKWANSEC) have been officially converted to full boarders due to escalating security fears linked to renewed ethnic violence in the area—particularly between the Akyode and Challa communities. The decision followed the tragic death of a final‑year student by a stray bullet on June 27, during clashes that erupted across Nkwanta South Municipality amid traditional rites and inter-group tension . With students commuting daily through volatile zones, school authorities determined that boarding arrangements would better shield learners from harm. What Led to the Conversion Earlier in July, 846 final‑year students across Nkwanta SHS, Community SHS, and Kyabobo Girls’ SHS had been directed to return to school by August 1, as security agencies—especially the Ghana Police Service—enhanced patrols around school perimeters and along key travel corridors to safeguard students’ movement. But as hostilities persisted […]

Dagbon Overlord rejects NEDCo apology amid power outage crisis

The Overlord of Dagbon at Gbewaa Palace has firmly rejected an apology from NEDCo (Northern Electricity Distribution Company) amid an escalating power dispute, calling into question accountability and trust in the utility provider and government officials. What Happened? On August 5, 2025, Energy Minister John Jinapor traveled to Tamale to address concerns over widespread electricity outages and NEDCo’s decision to suspend field operations—actions that had drawn intense criticism from residents and traditional authorities. However, upon arrival, Jinapor and his delegation were turned away by the Overlord, who stated that power must be restored before any dialogue could proceed. The Overlord’s refusal was rooted in frustration: communities under his jurisdiction had suffered prolonged dumsor (load shedding), and residents accused NEDCo of deploying personnel disrespectfully and operating with disregard for local customs. The Overlord insisted that restoring electricity should take precedence over […]

From Premier League Glory to Yo‑Yo Club: Leicester’s Tumultuous Decade

Only nine seasons ago, Leicester City stunned the football world by clinching the 2015–16 Premier League title as 5,000‑1 outsiders—a triumph born from astute recruitment (Mahrez, Vardy, Kante), tactical cohesion, and team spirit that eclipsed financial limitations. They followed it up with their first-ever FA Cup in 2021, backed by strong top‑five finishes and European qualification, cementing their place in the top flight. Yet since then, fortunes have devolved. By 2022–23, Leicester were relegated from the Premier League, ending nine consecutive years at the top level. Despite immediate promotion via winning the 2023–24 Championship, Leicester promptly slipped back into the second tier in 2024–25, confirming their second relegation in three seasons after a catastrophic run: one win in 19 games, no home goals across eight matches, and managerial chaos involving Steve Cooper and Ruud van Nistelrooy. Why Leicester went from […]

How Manchester United can afford £74m Sesko despite financial constraints

Manchester United are on the verge of completing the signature of RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko in what could be a £65 million up‑front deal, rising to £74 million with performance-related add‑ons. That kind of spending seems bold, but United insist: “they have the money to make the offer”. How Manchester United Can Afford Sesko 1. Offloading big wagesMarcus Rashford’s loan to Barcelona alone removes approximately £16 million in annual salary from United’s books. Alongside that, sell‑on revenues—like £20.7 million from Anthony Elanga’s escape clause and £5 million compensation from Chelsea in the aborted Sancho deal—have materially eased the wage bill strain. 2. Spending spread & amortisationUnited have already spent big on Matheus Cunha (~£62.5m) and Bryan Mbeumo (~£71m), pushing attacking outlay past £130m—and if Sesko joins, total summer spending will exceed £200 million. However, under accounting rules, Sesko’s fee will be amortised over the […]

20 killed in Gaza as aid truck overturns amid crowd surge

On August 6, 2025, 20 Palestinians were tragically killed and numerous others injured when an aid truck overturned onto a crowd of civilians in central Gaza, near the Nuseirat refugee camp, according to Gaza’s civil defence agency (Gaza Civil Defence spokesperson Mahmud Bassal. The victims were among hundreds who had gathered to receive humanitarian aid amid a worsening food crisis. Local officials claimed the vehicles were being directed by Israeli forces onto unsafe, damaged roads routes that had been previously bombed. As a result, the overloaded trucks became unstable, leading to the deadly incident. Hamas-run authorities blamed Israeli policies, stating that aid routes are intentionally hazardous. They argued that chaotic convoys force desperate crowds to swarm trucks—creating dangerous situations that often end in tragedy. Dozens more were reportedly injured when the aid truck flipped in the crush of bodies around it. […]

Growth vs Tax and Gaza Control: Laffer, Wagner & Occupation Dynamics

Economists debate how tax levels influence economic growth. The Laffer Curve posits a balance: both very high and very low tax rates can reduce revenue, with an optimal rate maximising income while spurring activity. Some argue lowering taxes can boost investment, consumer spending, and growth—but only up to a point. In contrast, Wagner's Law highlights the tendency for public spending to rise as national income grows—meaning governments need growing revenue, often via taxes, to fund services and infrastructure. Together, these theories illustrate the tension: tax cuts may increase growth up to a point, but adequate tax revenue remains essential to fund development. Policymakers must therefore strike a balance: set fair tax rates to encourage economic activity, while ensuring sufficient funds for education, healthcare, and public investment. In practice, many countries fall short—either burdening citizens with high taxes or underfunding vital […]
