Assin Manso holds one of the most solemn chapters in the history of the transatlantic slave trade. Known for the evocative “Last Bath,” this site continues to draw visitors seeking to connect with a history that is at once deeply Ghanaian and profoundly global.

Historical accounts indicate that more than thirty slave markets once existed across present-day Ghana. However, two stood out prominently: the Salaga Slave Market in the north and Assin Manso in the south. Captives from as far as Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire and Niger were first assembled in Salaga.

From there, they were forced to march hundreds of miles southwards, bound in chains and shackles.

Love is indeed mysterious. It is like electricity—we see it at work, yet cannot fully explain what it is. Even though it is one of the most frequently used words in the Bible and across over 6,500 languages in the world, its true meaning often depends on our faith, culture, and life experiences.

The Greek language, in an attempt to capture its depth, describes love in different forms: philia (friendship love), storge (family love), eros (passionate love), and agape (unconditional love).

Dear Mirror Lawyer, I am seeking advice on behalf of my friend. Her husband and three children attended a boxing match at the Bukom Boxing Arena.

A regular customer of the husband’s business and a friend played a prank on her. 

He falsely told her that her husband and children had been seriously injured in a scuffle at the arena, and that her husband was in a critical condition at the hospital. 

He also claimed that their eldest son was in a coma, so she should rush to the hospital. As a result of this false information, she suffered a violent shock to her nervous system and other permanent physical consequences.

Can she sue her husband’s friend for his actions?

The pain had become unbearable. Bethlyn Arthur could not lift her arm. It was swollen and stiff, and no medication seemed to work.

Her body was weak, her blood levels were dangerously low, and she had already been in and out of the hospital for weeks. It was 18 weeks into her second pregnancy and even basic tests such as an X-ray could not be done because of the risk to her unborn child.

Then came the words that changed everything. With the level of pain she was in, the doctors said, they might have to terminate the pregnancy to save her life.  She sat there, carrying both the weight of the pain and the fear of losing her baby.

An Adenta Circuit Court has directed three young men to each pay GH₵4,000 as compensation to a teacher they attacked, and also ordered them to sign a two-year bond to be of good behaviour or risk going to prison.

Easter has a significant place in the hearts of Christians. It is a time for great reflection; a time to remember how God died like a man for man to live like God.

Easter is a season that reminds us of Christ’s death on the cross of Calvary. To many, His death is just another event. Therein, however, are many lessons to explore. If the death of one man could be the turning point of history, then this death is more than death.

It is a death that carries life for mankind. One Timeless lesson this season teaches us is that how long a man lives does not matter as much as how long his impact lives.

The spell he cast on them was that he was just another white man. 

When news of the Russian who recorded his escapades with some Ghanaian women came to the limelight, many fumed at the women. Some called them sluts. Others labelled them as cheap.
