Mobile money has become part of everyday life in Ghana. People use services such as MTN MoMo, Telecel Cash and AT Money to send money to relatives, receive salaries, pay bills, buy goods, receive payments and run businesses. The convenience is enormous, but criminals have also learned how to exploit mobile money users. In many cases, the criminal does not need to physically steal your phone or hack a complicated computer system. The fraud succeeds because the victim is persuaded to reveal information, approve a transaction, follow instructions or send money before checking what is really happening. Ghana’s Cyber Security…

Mother’s Day is celebrated in many parts of the world as an occasion to honor mothers, motherhood, and the people who provide maternal care and support. Because the observance does not fall on one universal date in every country, this 100-year calendar follows the widely used convention of celebrating Mother’s Day on the second Sunday in May. It provides the exact date for each year from 2027 through 2126, offering a clear long-range reference for planning, publishing, events, and personal use. 100 YEARS2027-2126FIRST DATESunday, May 9, 2027FINAL DATESunday, May 12, 2126 Calendar basis: the second Sunday in May, which always…

Sometimes falling in love is beautiful. Sometimes it is the last thing you need. Maybe the person is already in a relationship. Maybe they have told you they do not want you romantically. Maybe you know the relationship would be unhealthy. Maybe they are your coworker, boss, close friend’s partner, or somebody else you should not pursue. Or maybe you simply know that getting emotionally attached to this particular person will eventually hurt you. Then comes the difficult question: How do you stop yourself from falling in love? First, understand this: You cannot command your heart to feel nothing. There…

There is a painful truth many people struggle to accept: you cannot make someone want you. You can be kind. You can be loyal. You can improve yourself. You can explain your feelings perfectly. You can give someone another chance. But you cannot force another person to love you, choose you, reply to you, or build a relationship with you. When someone does not want the relationship you want, continuing to chase them usually does not create love. More often, it keeps you emotionally stuck. And stopping is not always easy. You may know the person is not interested and…

Almost everybody wants more money. People want to pay their bills without stress, own a comfortable home, take care of their families, travel, retire well and have enough money to deal with emergencies. Yet wanting to become rich and doing the things that build wealth are not the same thing. Some habits can keep a person financially stuck for years: spending everything they earn, living on debt, refusing to save, chasing quick money, ignoring investment fees and increasing their lifestyle every time their income goes up. But there is an important point to make from the beginning. Poverty is not…

Many people think rich people became rich because they simply earn more money. Income certainly matters, but earning money is only one part of building wealth. What people do with the money they earn also matters. Research shows that higher-income households generally save a larger share of their income than lower-income households. Wealthier households are also more likely to own assets such as stocks and businesses instead of keeping most of their wealth in cash or spending it on things that lose value (Dynan et al., 2004; Jones & Neelakantan, 2023). But there is an important truth that should not…

Women continue to represent a relatively small share of the world’s billionaire population, but their collective wealth is substantial and growing. The world’s richest women have fortunes tied to industries ranging from retail and cosmetics to mining, shipping, steel, financial services, confectionery and industrial conglomerates. According to Forbes’ 2026 World’s Billionaires ranking, there were 481 female billionaires worldwide, representing approximately 14% of the 3,428 billionaires identified by Forbes. That was an increase from 406 women on the 2025 list. Three-quarters of the women on the 2026 billionaire list inherited at least part of their fortunes, although a growing number are…

The fortunes of the world’s wealthiest individuals have reached extraordinary levels, driven largely by technology, artificial intelligence, e-commerce, software, semiconductors and global consumer businesses. In 2026, technology entrepreneurs continue to dominate the highest positions on global wealth rankings. According to the Forbes Real-Time Billionaires ranking, updated on August 20, 2026, at 6:25 a.m. EDT, Elon Musk remained the world’s richest person, with an estimated fortune of $866 billion. He was followed by Google cofounder Larry Page and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos (Forbes, 2026a). The figures below represent estimated net worth rather than cash held in bank accounts. Much of billionaire…

Buying a mobile phone should not start with the brand name, camera megapixels, or the number printed next to the RAM. A good phone is one that does the work you need, works properly on your mobile network, supports the apps you use, receives suitable software and security support, and remains usable for a reasonable period of time. This is important because people buy phones for very different reasons. One person may need WhatsApp, banking apps, maps, email, and a good camera. Another may mainly need reliable calls and SMS. A student, mobile gamer, delivery driver, business owner, photographer, older…
