Matthew Agambire, the fashion designer behind President John Mahama’s stunning 'agbada' for his inauguration on January 7, 2025, has shared the collaborative effort behind the creation of the attire. Working closely with Mahama, Agambire incorporated traditional Ghanaian elements, including Kente and Adinkra symbols, to represent unity and progress. The 'Agbada,' known for its cultural significance, was customized with four powerful Adinkra symbols—'Gye Nyame,' 'Sankofa,' 'Dwennimmen,' and 'Nyame Dua'—each carrying deep meanings of faith, reflection, wisdom, and divine protection. The attire not only paid homage to Ghanaian heritage but also underscored Mahama's commitment to his leadership journey.

Chamber Pots Gradually Disappearing from Ghanaian Markets.

Chamber pots, traditionally known as "kuraba" in Twi, are becoming increasingly scarce in Ghana due to a lack of raw materials for production. Vendors in markets like Kumasi, Accra, and Sunyani report that local manufacturers have shifted to producing six-liter black plastic buckets as alternatives.Customers, especially caregivers of the elderly and bedridden, express dissatisfaction with these substitutes, citing discomfort and impracticality. Local producers like Mamba Plast, which once manufactured the old-style chamber pots, have ceased operations, leaving a gap in the market.The few remaining small-sized chamber pots are mainly produced for infants. Vendors lament the decline in availability, with many still receiving requests for the durable, old-fashioned models.This trend reflects a changing consumer landscape, but also highlights the need for innovative solutions to cater to specific community needs.
