Ruth Kadiri Calls Out Nollywood Trend of Buying YouTube Views

Nigerian actress and producer Ruth Kadiri has raised alarm over a growing trend of Nollywood filmmakers buying views on YouTube to artificially boost the perceived success of their films. Speaking at a session during the Africa International Film Festival (AFRIFF), Kadiri urged honest conversations about digital challenges facing the industry. She explained that the reliance on fake view numbers distorts the market, making it harder for hardworking filmmakers to get recognition based on real audience engagement. Kadiri noted that two years ago, a million views was a major achievement for independent producers—but now, for some, it’s just a baseline due to manipulated numbers. Her comments drew support and debate from industry peers, who acknowledged that inflated metrics can fuel unhealthy competition and distract from the importance of quality storytelling. Kadiri encouraged young filmmakers not to be pressured by online figures […]

In Reversal, Trump Supports House Vote to Release Epstein Files

US President Donald Trump has reversed his previous opposition by urging House Republicans to vote in favor of releasing all documents linked to convicted financier Jeffrey Epstein. Announcing his new stance via social media, Trump stated: “Vote to release the Epstein files, because we have nothing to hide.” The House will soon consider a bill mandating the Justice Department to disclose nearly all Epstein-related files, with sensitive details redacted to protect ongoing investigations and victims. Trump’s move comes after mounting bipartisan pressure and public demands for clarity on political figures’ connections to Epstein. Amid controversy and speculation over alleged links between Epstein and prominent politicians, Trump emphasized that the release would help dispel “Democrat hoax” claims, increase government accountability, and restore public trust. The measure’s growing Republican backing signals an important shift in the transparency debate ahead of the upcoming […]

PFAG Questions NAFCO Over GHC 100 Million Grain Purchase Fund

The Peasant Farmers Association of Ghana (PFAG) is urging the government to clarify how the GHC 100 million released to the National Food Buffer Stock Company (NAFCO) was utilized for purchasing surplus grains from farmers across the country. The fund, announced earlier this year, was meant to stabilize food prices and help farmers offload excess maize, rice, and other staples. But several months later, many farmers say they have not seen any evidence of direct purchases or financial support. PFAG’s Executive Director, Bismark Owusu Nortey, voiced concern about the situation: “I have not had any report from farmers saying they have sold their produce to NAFCO, which is why we are worried about where the GHC 100 million went.” Nortey acknowledged that some NAFCO-branded rice has been seen on the market but noted the lack of transparent data identifying which […]

Afaglo Urges Mahama to Extend ORAL Mandate to Probe NPP Corruption Cases

A senior member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Novihoho Afaglo, has called on President John Dramani Mahama to extend the mandate of the Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) task force to further investigate corruption cases linked to former officials of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration. Afaglo praised the joint work of ORAL and the Attorney-General’s Department, calling their partnership vital in exposing alleged financial irregularities and misuse of state resources meant for national development. He stated that without ORAL’s vigilance, “Nana Akufo-Addo’s appointees could have stolen millions from the state unnoticed.” According to him, ongoing investigations initiated under Mahama’s administration have already revealed “significant wrongdoing that cannot be ignored.” Afaglo stressed that the current wave of revelations should serve as a warning to all serving public officials, urging them to remember that their roles are meant to uplift […]

Makinde urges transparency in China-Africa partnerships

Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde has called for transparency and mutual benefit in partnerships between Africa and global powers, particularly China. He said such relationships must promote shared prosperity and fairness. Makinde made this call during the opening of the second Ibadan Forum, jointly organised by the University of Ibadan’s Department of History and Zhejiang Normal University, China. The event, themed “Convergence or Divergence? Africa’s Development in Global Partnerships and a Shared Future,” gathered scholars and policymakers to discuss Africa’s role in the global order. Represented by his deputy, Bayo Lawal, Makinde urged African leaders to carefully assess international agreements and ensure they align with the continent’s interests. “We must not run opaque partnerships. They must be open to all stakeholders. That is how we promote convergence, not divergence,” he said. He called for fairness in deals between China and […]

UNYF Urges INEC Chair to Remove Barriers to PVC Collection

The Unified Nigeria Youth Forum (UNYF) has urged the newly appointed Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Joash Ojo Amupitan, to prioritise accessibility, transparency, and accountability in managing Nigeria’s electoral process. In a statement issued on Saturday in Abuja, the Forum’s National President, Comrade Toriah Olajide Filani, said the credibility of future elections depends largely on how inclusive and accessible voter registration and Permanent Voter Card (PVC) collection become under the new leadership. Filani expressed concern that millions of eligible Nigerians remain unable to obtain their PVCs due to administrative bottlenecks and limited access to registration centres, especially in rural areas. “Despite the introduction of digital systems, many citizens lack internet access or the infrastructure to benefit,” he said. “In Lagos, for example, people queue as early as 2:00 a.m. just to register, yet many still leave […]

Bright Simons Blasts Intermediaries Over GH¢7bn Leak in Ghana’s Gold-for-Oil Programme

Vice President of IMANI Africa, Bright Simons, has sharply criticised the use of intermediaries in Ghana’s Gold-for-Oil programme, following a new report by the think tank that revealed a GH¢7 billion leakage. Speaking on JoyNews’s Newsfile, Mr. Simons said the intended beneficiaries—the Ghanaian public—did not gain from the initiative. Instead, he claimed, a network of brokers and middlemen reaped significant profits from the monetisation process. “The eventual beneficiaries of this case were the brokers and the middlemen,” Mr. Simons stated. “The only people who got any benefit are those who were in the middle during the monetisation, enabling the shipment of the fuel to BOST and others.” He argued that Ghana could have met its objectives through a simpler, more transparent approach—without relying on opaque and costly intermediaries. “Ghana could simply have said, we have our domestic gold purchasing programme, […]

Nigeria Launches 2025 Transparency Index for Government Agencies

The Nigerian government has launched the 2025 Transparency and Integrity Index (TII), a tool designed to promote accountability and ethical standards across all Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs). Announced by the Bureau of Public Service Reforms (BPSR), the index will assess MDAs on five key areas: financial management, control of corruption, open procurement, citizen engagement, and inclusive human resource practices. The Director-General of BPSR, Mr. Dasuki Arabi, stated that the TII is not just about rankings but about building a culture of openness that inspires public trust. Now in its fifth edition, the index is conducted in partnership with the Centre for Fiscal Transparency and Public Integrity (CeFTPI). The initiative aligns with Nigeria's national reform strategy and its international commitments, such as the Open Government Partnership. It is also intended to support the work of anti-corruption agencies like the EFCC […]

Nigeria Launches Landmark ISO Standard to Bolster Anti-Fraud Framework

Nigeria has unveiled a groundbreaking anti-fraud framework with the official launch of the ISO 37003:2025 Fraud Control Management Systems standard, in partnership with the British Standards Institution (BSI). The landmark initiative, coordinated by the Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON), was launched in Abuja by the Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Dr. Jumoke Oduwole, represented by Jachinma Agu, deputy director of reforms. Oduwole described the standard as more than just another regulation, but a “collective resolve to shield Nigeria’s economy from fraud — a hidden tax on development.” “Fraud increases the cost of doing business, erodes investor confidence, stifles innovation, and undermines public trust,” she said. According to the minister, ISO 37003:2025 equips organisations to identify fraud risks, apply proportionate controls, detect illicit activities, and respond swiftly to incidents. She urged both government agencies and private firms to adopt the […]

RTI Commission Flags Staffing, Logistics Gaps at 5th Anniversary

At the launch of its 5th-anniversary celebration in Accra, the Executive Secretary of Ghana’s Right to Information (RTI) Commission, Genevieve Shirley Lartey Esq., raised pressing concerns about the Commission’s limited capacity to effectively fulfill its mandate due to significant staffing and logistical constraints. Despite operating four regional offices—in Accra (head office), Bono, Ashanti, and Upper East—the Commission continues to operate with a small team and scant resources, relying heavily on external partners to sustain its functions. Lartey emphasized the urgent need for additional resources, including logistics and financial support, to ensure continued functionality and efficiency across all offices. Plans are in progress to open additional regional branches in the Northern and Central regions, with another yet-to-be-named region slated before the end of 2025. To guarantee nationwide coverage, areas without an RTI office will be grouped under existing zonal structures. Speaking […]
