Ideally, two people who fall in love should be allowed to live happily ever after in peace, sustained by romance, mutual respect and occasional electricity.

Reality, unfortunately, is a comedian with a dark sense of humour.

Marriage is often advertised as a union between two people. This is technically correct in the same way that a football match is technically about twenty-two people chasing a ball. It leaves out almost everything that is actually happening.

Goooooal! The FIFA 2026 World Cup is already underway.

Nations are cheering their teams on. It is that season again when hearts will be broken. Tactics and strategies are at play. Some underdogs will pull some strings of surprises. 

New talents will be born. All interests are on hold. The only interest now is which team takes home the cup. 

Men’s mental health is not a uniform issue; it is shaped by culture, ethnicity and geography. In some cultures, traditional roles of masculinity are even more rigid, making it harder for men to express vulnerability.

In others, mental illness may be stigmatised as weakness or even spiritual failure.

For many years, a spoonful of agushie (melon seeds) in soup, a little groundnut paste in a pot for ‘nkatenkwan’, or a dash of powdered pepper in stew was enough to transform an ordinary meal into a memorable one.

Today, many consumers say something has changed.

From homes to chop bars and market stalls, complaints about the quality of powdered pepper, agushie and groundnut paste are becoming common. 

The Managing Director of EDC Investment Limited, a member of the Ecobank Group, Paul Kofi Mante, has urged Ghanaians to adopt a culture of consistently investing, saying financial freedom and long-term wealth creation are achievable through discipline and patience rather than salary alone.

According to him, many people focus solely on earning salaries without taking deliberate steps to make their money work for them, a situation that often leaves them financially vulnerable.

Former CNN International correspondent Isha Sesay has spoken candidly about her decision to become a mother on her own at 46, describing the choice as an "embrace of my own autonomy" rather than a rejection of anyone.

The first conference of the African Committee for Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis (AFRICTRIMS) recently ended in Accra.

A urologist at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital in Accra Dr Yaw Amoah has explained that uncontrolled hypertension, commonly known as high blood pressure, can contribute to Erectile Dysfunction (ED), a condition that affects a man's ability to achieve or maintain an erection.

Queen of Highlife, Asabia Cropper, exudes grace and charm anytime she takes to the stage and she was in her element once again at the last Highlife Heritage Monthly Concert on June 13 at the Backpass Restaurant in Accra.

As a long-time observer of Africa's vibrant travel landscape, I have often considered South Africa's remarkable journey from apartheid to a beacon of democracy and a powerhouse of tourism.

However, the shadow of xenophobic violence has threatened to eclipse this hard-won glory, leaving a bitter taste in the mouth of many potential visitors, especially those from within our own continent.

The origin of Father's Day is not entirely clear, but many attribute it to Sonora Smart Dodd, whose mother died while giving birth to her.

In an act of bravery and devotion, her father, a war veteran, single-handedly raised her and her five siblings on a farm in Washington.

As an adult, Sonora reflected on the heroic role her father had played in her life and, in 1910, organised a special day to honour all fathers. 

Friday, June 19, 2026, was celebrated worldwide as World Sickle Cell Awareness Day.

This global initiative highlights the urgent need to eliminate healthcare disparities and improve access to life-saving treatments across all income levels and regions.

Fittingly then, the theme for this year’s observance is “Closing the Survival Gap: Equity in Sickle Cell Care."

Fathers are pillars. A family rests on their shoulders. With their hands, they mould the future of their spouse and children. A father’s presence binds a family together.

Like a wall, it surrounds a home. No home is ever the same in the absence of a father. For every home that is built, a father is its foundation. 

Fatherhood is a responsibility. It is a duty to raise responsible children for society. Many children go astray in the absence of their fathers.  

Families across the country and the world at large will celebrate Father's Day tomorrow.

To mark the occasion, The Mirror is organising a special buffet lunch with live band music and other activities at the Labadi Beach Hotel in Accra.

Traditional Father's Day gifts, such as watches, belts, wallets, hampers, perfumes and grooming kits, remain popular.

However, a number of fathers say what they value most are experiences that allow them to spend quality time with their loved ones and create lasting memories.

Guests will be treated to different genres of music, mouth-watering local and international dishes, exciting giveaways and special moments designed to make fathers feel truly appreciated.

For many people on social media, he is known as “Repɛlla”, a tech entrepreneur who regularly supports students with laptops, donates to communities and lends a helping hand to people in need.

But beyond the generosity and business success lies a role he considers his most important—being a father.

A husband and father of three children, the CEO, Melvic Technologies & Rep3lla, Victor Elorm Morgah, describes fatherhood not as a title but as a responsibility.
