Gospel Artiste Serwaa Ophelia Opens Up On Balancing Motherhood With Career

Story by Akosua Greeno

Gospel musician Serwaa Ophilia has opened up about the challenges of balancing motherhood with her music career, describing the journey as demanding but fulfilling.

Speaking in a recent interview on Max 89.7 FM’s Max Morning Dew, the singer revealed that combining family responsibilities with the pressures of the music industry has not been easy.

According to her, being a mother requires constant attention, which sometimes affects her ability to focus fully on her music.

“Motherhood and career haven’t been easy for me, but I keep pushing because I love what I do,” she said.

Serwaa Ophilia explained that there are times she has to sacrifice studio sessions and performances to take care of her child, adding that the experience has taught her patience and resilience.

Despite the difficulties, the gospel musician remains committed to her calling and continues to inspire many through her songs.

She noted that with proper support and determination, women can successfully manage both family life and career ambitions.

The singer, known for her uplifting gospel music, encouraged other women not to give up on their dreams, even when faced with similar challenges.

Count Me Out— Walid Regragui to GFA

Former head coach of the Atlas Lions of Morocco Walid Regragui has turned down the chance to be the next Black Stars coach.

The Ghana Football Association (GFA) is in hunt for a top-class coach to lead the Black Stars to the 2026 FIFA World Cup in June.

According to UK-based Ghanaian journalist Rahman Osman, the Moroccan gaffer has told the GFA to take him out of their list of targets.

Regragui is rather eyeing either a return to the Atlas Lions or taking charge of the Green Falcons of Saudi Arabia.

With French coach Hervé Renard, who is also a target for Ghana, under immense pressure as head coach of Saudi Arabia, Regragui has become the main target for the oil-rich Saudis.

Sudan head coach Kwesi Appiah and Renard are frontrunners for the Black Stars job, with Black Queens coach Kim Lars Bjorkegren standing an outside chance.

‎Mental illness is not demonic— Psychologist

A psychologist at Ghana Police Hospital, Sylvester Sackiteh, has called on Ghanaians to seek psychological attention when a loved one begins to experience mental challenges.

‎According to him, that will help the person to recover at a faster pace than dwelling solely on divine intervention.

‎Speaking in an exclusive interview with Novella Chat on Max TV in Accra on Sunday, the psychologist made it clear that mental illness is not demonic but a medical condition.

‎He stated that as one was seeking medical attention, the person could as well support it with prayers.

‎”Because both must go hand in hand. I am not saying don’t seek divine intervention. Memory loss is not demonic but a mental issue. You must seek medical help and add prayers to it,” Sackiteh added.

Discard ‘Ghana Month,’ Celebrate Africa Month— Tourism Expert

Story by Samuella Mantebea Okantah

Kwame Boadu-Ansong, a tourism analyst, has expressed the need for Ghanaians to continue to project the rich culture of the country to all of Africa.

He insisted that March should not only be celebrated as ‘Ghana month’ but also as ‘Africa month’ since Ghana was the first country in sub-Saharan Africa to gain independence from the Europeans.

Quoting the words of Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah on the day of independence, he stressed the significance on celebrating the liberation of the African continent.

He declares that this dream of Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah has been achieved, yet Ghanaians only celebrate ‘Ghana Month’, while the originator of this vision wanted it for the whole of Africa.

Under Pressure Renard Tipped To Finally Get Black Stars Job

Saudi Arabia head coach Herve Renard has been tipped once again to take over as head coach of the Black Stars of Ghana.

Renard, a two-time AFCON winner with Zambia and the Ivory Coast, has often been a favourite for the Ghana job since serving as an assistant to Claude Leroy in 2008.

The French gaffer is currently on his second stint as head coach of the Green Falcons of Saudi Arabia after leaving the senior women’s national team of France.

A 4-0 defeat to the Pharoahs of Egypt in an international friendly has led to Saudi football critics calling for his sack.

The majority of Saudi fans are calling for him to be replaced by former Morocco head coach Walid Regragui or Hussein Ammouta.

His departure will certainly open the door for him to finally return to Ghana after years of flirting.

Was Otto Addo Set Up For Failure?

Was Otto Addo Set Up For Failure?

Many at home and abroad, social media and traditional media, young and old, rejoice at the news of the sacking of Otto Addo.

This is the only man in Ghana’s history who qualified the country for consecutive FIFA World Cup berths. A feat, none other can compare to.

Nana Otto Addo was first given the beautiful headache of being the interim head coach of the Black Stars in 2022 with a single task—beat Nigeria to reach the 2022 Qatar World Cup.

He succeeded and then was entrusted to lead the team at the tournament, which ended disastrously in failure to move out of the group stages.

The Dortmund-trained gaffer returned to the helm of affairs once again, replacing veteran Irish coach Chris Houghton in 2024, whose monumental AFCON disappointment in Ivory Coast goes down as one of Ghana’s worst African outings.

Now, this is why some may agree the Ghana Football Association (GFA) set up Otto Addo for a historical failure. In their search for a new head coach, the GFA made a number of requirements for applicants to the job, which include the following:

1. The potential head coach should be a proven winner in coaching top men’s national team or club football.

2. Must have a football philosophy that aligns with or compliments our DNA

3. Must hold the highest football licence in the world with over 15 years of coaching experience.

4. Proven track record of team reconstruction, organisation, and development of young talent.

5. Proven disciplinarian, tactician, and leadership skills.

The GFA came under heavy criticism after rehiring Otto Addo, as critics argued he was nowhere close to the hiring criteria.

Faith was kept in him despite all the noise and constant pressure for him to be sacked, especially after missing out on the 2025 AFCON.

He managed to lead the Black Stars to the World Cup once again. Ghana made it, but the journey was not entirely enjoyable and convincing.

Life after qualification, however, has been nothing to write home about, with consecutive defeats recorded from late 2025 to March 30, 2026.

Credit to the GFA president Kurt Okraku, who agreed to the need of beefing up the technical team with the hiring of four new experts to support Otto Addo at the World Cup.

But now it appears the authorities have had enough of the constant humiliation and distasteful performances, as they parted ways with the coach.

Will the GFA strictly stick to their high criteria of coach selection or once again exercise faith in a less experienced coach?

Shatta Wale Considers Coaching Black Stars

Shatta Wale Considers Coaching Black Stars

Globally acclaimed artiste Shatta Wale has expressed interest in taking over as the head coach of the Black Stars of Ghana.

Have you finished laughing hard yet after reading the first paragraph? Well, get this, Wale: just like every other Ghanaian, he grew tired of the team’s poor results.

With a recent USD100,000 donation to fund supporters’ trip to support the Black Stars at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Wale, in a livestream, considered himself for the role.

“Or make I go coach the team? Cos if I dey coach the team like them all go chop demma mothers. Herh play the ball (2x). Ebi so them for dey talk to them so them for know say shishiishi come the tin inside. Them go know say coach go fit beat person,” said Wale.

Of course, any investor would like to see good returns from the venture he or she invested into, and that is what Shatta Wale funnily plans to do.

What a sight it would be to see one of the most loved Ghanaian music superstars crossing over to the field of football management.
