Khaby Lame, the Senegalese-born TikTok star with the largest following on the platform, has struck a landmark commercial deal valued at approximately $900 million, marking one of the most significant monetisation moves ever by a global digital creator.

The transaction involves the partial sale of his company, Step Distinctive Limited, to Rich Sparkle Holdings, a United States-listed firm that disclosed the acquisition alongside a broader strategic partnership focused on scaling Lame’s commercial operations worldwide.

A relationship is a woman’s greatest emotional need. The affection and companionship she receives nurture her feminine spirit and make her feel she has “arrived.”

Through relationships, many women find fulfilment and a sense of security because they feel wanted, valued and cherished.

Sadly, many women find their identity in a man and believe they need a man to be complete. Some stay in relationships for personal benefits or social status because in Ghana, single women—no matter their achievements—often do not receive much respect. To many people, a single woman is never considered “good enough,” regardless of her age, talent, wealth or success.

Dear Mirror Lawyer, I purchased land in my girlfriend's name, intending that when we marry, we will build on it and live there as our matrimonial home.

The relationship, however, fell apart, and our dream never materialised.

I asked her to transfer the land back to my name, but she has refused, insisting that, because the land documents are in her name, she owns it. What can I do to reclaim my property?

Musah, Kumasi.

From quiet beginnings in a small Ashanti town to the frontlines of modern medical practice, Dr Gideon Kwame Assan’s journey is a testament to discipline, purpose and consistent hard work.

In a profession where experience is often measured in decades, he has distinguished himself early, earning national and regional recognition before the age of 35.

On December 10, 2025, Dr Assan was inducted as a family physician specialist by the Ghana College of Physicians and Surgeons, emerging as the youngest specialist in the 2025 cohort at just 33 years. 

When God made man, His purpose was to create a copy of Himself. Man was not a mere caretaker of a garden. He was a reflection of the goodness and kindness of the one who made him. He was an image of the first Father of the world.

When a man has children under his care, he becomes the father of his world. Like God, he should be intentional about the well-being of these children. He does not leave it to chance. He provides for his children and sacrifices every comfort of his for them.

The recent drop in fuel prices has sparked debate on whether the relief at the pumps is translating into lower prices of goods, food items and transport fares in Cape Coast, Central Region.

An interview by The Mirror with some traders, drivers and consumers at the Kotokuraba Market and surrounding business districts shows a mixed picture.  

Many stakeholders attributed recent price changes more to the cedi’s performance against the dollar than to fuel price reductions.

Imagine a race for a rabbit, an eagle and a fish. The rabbit will make the eagle and fish look useless. It will helplessly outpace them both.

If the eagle and fish are given another chance to prove their mettle in a flying competition, the fish will end up more useless. While the eagle soars in the sky, it will be gasping for breath on land. Truth is, the fish is not useless ― not at all. Its potential has consistently been measured on the wrong scale.  

Society has found a way of putting all of us in the same race. Little does it know that it is easy to misjudge a (wo)man’s potential when they are put in the wrong competition. Unfortunately, many have died frustrated running the wrong race.

In a fast-moving media and social media space, the word “allegedly” seems to have become a popular legal ‘safety’ net. It often appears in news reports, Facebook posts, TikTok, X threads and comment sections whenever sensitive, defamatory or controversial claims are made.

Even though many believe that once the word is added, legal responsibility such as a defamation lawsuit disappears, legal practitioner Dennis Akwaboah says that belief is wrong.

Dear Mirror Lawyer, I am a young graduate from one of Ghana's technical universities. Two months ago, I rented a single-room, self-contained unit in Pantang, Accra.

The rent was for two and a half years, which I paid in full. There are two distinct apartments on the compound; my landlady and one of her sons reside in one, while I occupy the other.

Today, it is common to hear some married couples say that they have never seen happiness since they got married. To them, marriage is simply a process of exchanging your values and happiness for pain, loneliness and rejection.

it is that time of the year when people generally attempt to improve upon conduct and performance. They do so through new year resolutions.

One indicator that the resolutions are necessary can be deduced from the reality that not only do individuals resolve to do well, but behavioural experts offer valuable suggestions to help the determined to live up to such promises.

New year resolutions tend to be positive and imply a quest for acceptable behaviour. 

Vendors of national flags at the Kwame Nkrumah Circle in Accra say they sold more Ghanaian flags in 2025 than they did in 2024 because of institutional patronage.

According to them, the national flag saw steady sales largely from hotels, fuel stations, garages, drinking spots, eateries and other institutions which hoisted the national colours on their premises.

Women’s mental and emotional renewal as a driver for national productivity was the main focus at the 6th Renewed Woman conference held under the theme "Recharge" at Labone in Greater Accra,

Over 700 attendees were at the event which featured media personality, Nana Ama McBrown, as the guest speaker. 

Various elements, including a session with clinical psychologist Dr. Abra Dziedorm, anchored the message of recharge.

The Founder and leader of Action Chapel International, Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams, has sparked public debate after openly criticising what he described as the growing culture of extravagant weddings, urging couples to place financial readiness above elaborate ceremonies.

The holidays have come and gone, but for many of us, the aftermath has left us feeling less than our best.

Between the endless parties, rich food and late nights, it's no wonder we feel out of sorts. If you're the type to make New Year's resolutions, we encourage you to take a look at your habits and make a commitment to getting back into a healthy routine, and start 2026 off right.

The Ghana Police Service deserves commendation for its growing vigilance in monitoring social media and acting decisively on posts that expose abuse, particularly child abuse and domestic violence.

In a digital era where social media is often criticised for spreading misinformation and sensationalism, the Police have demonstrated that that social media platforms can also be powerful tools for justice and public protection.

Ready-to-wear tie-dye outfits were the most sought-after clothing during the Christmas season, surpassing popular Ankara and Kente fabrics. 

Across major markets and pop-up stalls in the city, vendors  The Mirror spoke to said that it was the choice.

They noted that sales were boosted by visitors from the diaspora and the Detty December vibe, with pretty good sales from both local buyers and visitors from abroad.

A (wo) man is their mindset. The mind is their control board. It moulds a person’s behaviour.

We cannot live beyond the limits of how far and wide we think. If you want to see the size of a man’s mind, look at the size of things he thinks about. Indeed, how a man thinks today tells how far he can go tomorrow.

If people are any better, it comes back to one thing ~ their mindset. They cannot be greater than what they collectively think as a people. 

We are our mindsets. Our mindset is us. We cannot behave any differently from how we think. A new Ghana means a new pattern of thoughts; a paradigm shift. 

Dear Mirror Lawyer, I married my husband at a very young age. We are 21 years into marriage with five children.

I have been diagnosed with ovarian cancer, which results in severe abdominal pain. Due to my condition, I find it difficult to have sexual intercourse with my husband. 

We are in a new year and as expected, we have made a few promises to ourselves about what we want to accomplish in 2026. Some call it new year resolutions, a commitment to oneself to be different from the past year!

Whereas for some, resolutions have guided their path in their daily walk in life, for others, it has never worked. It hasn’t worked because the resolutions were wrong or bad, but mainly because they couldn’t keep the promises they had made to themselves. Sadly, some new year resolutions don’t even last a day!

If you have found yourself in such a situation, either now or before, don’t lose hope just yet because this first edition of this column this year is to inspire you to think about or consider in a new and creative way, a different life in 2026.

Marriage is universal and exists in every human society across the world. Its primary purposes include companionship, support, sex, parenting, and spiritual development.

However, people also marry for many other reasons such as personal gain, money, power, personality or lifestyle.
