Ghana’s AI Computing Hub To Run On Generators?

April 28, 2026

The Akosombo fire was on Wednesday. The AI hub was announced on Thursday. There was a generator at the launch venue. It has seen these announcements before. It will be here for the next one. The AI hub is an electricity power cannibal which needs consistent power supply to keep running. Now tell me. Is Ghana ready to sustain such a project with the bit size electricity supply?

Ghana Said Come. South Africa Said Leave Us Alone.

April 24, 2026

Ghana opened its borders to all Africans on April 2. Twenty days later, Ghana’s Foreign Minister was on the phone to Pretoria about videos showing Ghanaian nationals being attacked in South Africa.

The ECG finally explains the frequent lights outs over the past few weeks, and it’s nothing we have not heard before. “The outages are not dumsor, they are upgrades. The bills are not overcharged, they are corrections.” New ECG management, same old rabbit out of the hat.

Monetise the Idiocy? Yes, But We Should First Cut The Phone Calls to the Big Man We Know.

April 17, 2026

The proposal to monetise idiocy in Ghana is clean on paper. But in Ghana, discretion is the currency, and the person holding it can convert your idiocy into his lunch money. The handheld device does not change this. It just adds a layer of technology to the negotiation.

Ghana Music Awards Turn Gɔbɛ: The 2026 TGMA Nominations Only Charter House Saw Coming.

April 10, 2026

Kwaw Kese called the TGMA nominations gobɛ, and I understood immediately. Not an insult. A description. The Board reviewed the full list for a week, considered the formal letters raising concerns about getting overlooked in nominations, and concluded it had been correct all along. This is not a music story. This is a country story.

April 7, 2026

Ghana’s inflation is at 3.2 percent, the lowest in nearly three decades. The GPRTU issued a 48-hour ultimatum because petrol went up 15 percent in one pricing cycle. Both things are true. That is the problem.

The Black Stars Have No Coach. Fortunately, Every Ghanaian Is Qualified.

April 3, 2026

Otto Addo. Sacked. Effective immediately. I put the phone down. Picked it up again. Read it a second time. Not because I did not believe it — but because I was trying to identify the exact feeling. It was not surprise. Not relief either. The particular Ghanaian emotion of watching something inevitable arrive later than it had any right to.
