Copper Intelligence says all 13 main drill holes at its Butembo project in eastern DRC intersected copper mineralisation BUTEMBO — September 8, 2026 — U.S.-listed Copper Intelligence Inc. has released new drilling results from its Butembo Copper Project in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, reporting copper mineralisation in all 13 principal diamond drill holes completed to date. The company has also completed a deeper extension hole and says mineralisation remains open along strike and at depth. Laboratory results from hole BCDD009 are still being processed. The September 8 announcement expands on an August update that focused mainly on the project's first six holes. The latest release adds results from later holes, including BCDD010, BCDD011, BCDD012 and BCDD013. Read Copper Intelligence's September 8 drilling announcement New copper intersections reported at Butembo Among the larger and higher-grade intervals reported by Copper Intelligence are: 29.1 metres grading 1.28% copper from a depth of 1 metre in BCDD006. 16 metres grading 1.65% copper from 23 metres in BCDD007. 12.5 metres grading 1.78% copper from 35.5 metres in BCDD011. 11 metres grading 2.75% copper from 17.9 metres in BCDD013.

ADVERTISEMENT Read Copper Intelligence's September 8 drilling announcement New copper intersections reported at Butembo Among the larger and higher-grade intervals reported by Copper Intelligence are: 29.1 metres grading 1.28% copper from a depth of 1 metre in BCDD006. 16 metres grading 1.65% copper from 23 metres in BCDD007. 12.5 metres grading 1.78% copper from 35.5 metres in BCDD011. 11 metres grading 2.75% copper from 17.9 metres in BCDD013. The strongest grade reported so far remains the BCDD001 intersection of 7.55 metres grading 5.39% copper from surface. Hole BCDD012 intersected two mineralised zones, including 9 metres grading 1.17% copper from a depth of 14 metres. The deep extension hole, BCWDD001B, returned 2 metres grading 0.97% copper from 113.65 metres, according to the company. ADVERTISEMENT Copper Intelligence says the results indicate that copper occurs across a wider schist-hosted mineralised system. Future drilling will test extensions along strike and at depth, search for higher-grade zones and examine additional regional targets. Company targets first compliant resource estimate Copper Intelligence said it plans to advance Butembo toward its first mineral-resource estimate prepared under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's S-K 1300 mining-disclosure standards. That estimate has not yet been completed. The latest drill results do not establish the total size or economic value of the deposit, and the company has not announced a mine-development decision.

Spain reopens war crimes case against Kayumba Nyamwasa, Kagame’s ex-ally, over RPF atrocities in Rwanda and Congo. Interpol warrant reissued. A Spanish court has reissued international arrest warrants for Kayumba Nyamwasa , a former senior Rwandan military official and close ally of President Paul Kagame, over his alleged role in orchestrating war crimes and political assassinations during the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF)'s rise to power. Charges and Background The case, launched in 2008 under Spain's universal jurisdiction laws, targets 40 RPF officials for alleged genocide, crimes against humanity, and terrorism committed in Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo between 1994 and 1997. Nyamwasa stands accused of: Planning the murders of three Spanish aid workers, a Canadian priest, and several UN observers and human rights staff. Overseeing mass killings of Rwandan and Congolese civilians during counterinsurgency operations. Spanish prosecutors argue that Nyamwasa used his intelligence role to coordinate assassinations of foreign nationals who had witnessed RPF atrocities, particularly against Hutu civilians. A Fugitive After Gaining Witness Access After initially cooperating with the investigation and accessing confidential testimony from protected witnesses, Nyamwasa disappeared. Spanish courts now consider him missing and have issued new European and Interpol arrest warrants. "Nyamwasa is not being prosecuted for his politics; he is being pursued for his role in atrocities," said Victor Hortal Fernandez, one of the lead Spanish lawyers on the case.

"Nyamwasa is not being prosecuted for his politics; he is being pursued for his role in atrocities," said Victor Hortal Fernandez, one of the lead Spanish lawyers on the case. Kagame's Circle Under Scrutiny Although President Kagame enjoys immunity as the sitting head of state, Spanish prosecutors are targeting his top generals, many of whom have since defected or fallen out of favor. Witnesses include former Tutsi officers who have testified to intelligence-led executions and political purges ordered by Nyamwasa and others. ADVERTISEMENT Silence from the UN, Complicity from the West Judi Rever, whose investigative work underpins much of this case, highlights how the UN suppressed critical evidence. Despite photographic documentation and witness testimony, Rever claims international institutions failed to act. The UK previously blocked the extradition of Gen. Emmanuel Karenzi Karake, another Kagame ally, with legal support from Cherie Blair, the wife of former Prime Minister Tony Blair, a known supporter of the Rwandan regime. Impact on the Congo Nyamwasa also played a key role in Rwanda's 1996–1997 invasion of the DRC, during which Rwandan forces were implicated in widespread massacres. These atrocities were later documented in the UN Mapping Report , which classified some as potential acts of genocide.

ADVERTISEMENT Conclusion Spain's renewed pursuit of justice challenges what many critics describe as a wall of immunity built around Kagame's regime. As Western nations continue to collaborate with Rwanda, this legal case serves as a rare attempt to hold senior RPF figures accountable. "Spain is chasing crimes the world ignored," wrote journalist Judi Rever , whose book In Praise of Blood remains one of the most comprehensive accounts of the RPF's war crimes. The warrants signal that, even decades later, justice remains a demand for survivors and an obligation for the international legal system.

The UN Security Council has renewed MONUSCO’s mandate until 2026 as M23 advances intensify in eastern DR Congo. The United Nations Security Council has voted to extend the mandate of its peacekeeping mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, renewing the presence of MONUSCO until 20 December 2026 as violence escalates in the country’s eastern regions. Under Resolution 2808 (2025), the Council maintained MONUSCO’s current force levels, authorizing up to 11,500 military personnel, 600 military observers and staff officers, 443 police officers, and 1,270 members of formed police units. The mission’s primary focus will remain in North Kivu and Ituri, while deployments to South Kivu for ceasefire monitoring will depend on security conditions and advance notification to the Council, according to UN deliberations. The resolution also extends, on an exceptional basis, the mandate of MONUSCO’s Force Intervention Brigade. Created in 2013, the brigade has a more robust mandate than traditional UN peacekeeping forces and is tasked with neutralizing armed groups. Its continued authorization reflects concern within the Council over the deteriorating security environment in eastern Congo. The renewal comes as the Security Council warns of a rapidly worsening humanitarian and security crisis, driven largely by renewed offensives by the M23 armed group in North Kivu and South Kivu. Council members cited reports indicating that the group’s operations are supported by the Rwanda Defence Forces, an allegation Kigali has repeatedly denied. The resolution strongly condemned the recent capture of Uvira, a strategic city on Lake Tanganyika, cautioning that the advance poses risks to regional stability. Member states expressed differing emphases during deliberations. France, which served as the penholder on the resolution, underscored the urgency of the situation and urged all parties to commit to a sustainable peace process in eastern Congo and the wider Great Lakes region. The United States stressed that M23, with backing from the Rwanda Defence Forces, must meet its obligations under the Doha framework, including withdrawing at least 75 kilometers from Uvira. Washington said compliance with these commitments is critical to preventing further escalation. China and Russia supported the mandate renewal but cautioned against politicizing MONUSCO’s work. Both countries emphasized the need to preserve the mission’s neutrality, independence, and authority. China reiterated its backing for the Democratic Republic of the Congo’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, calling on external actors to respect regional peace initiatives. Russia urged the UN Secretariat to submit detailed proposals by March 2026 outlining MONUSCO’s role in ceasefire monitoring, and called on all parties to adhere strictly to Security Council resolutions aimed at protecting civilians and stabilizing the region.

Meet the Africa Prize 2026 finalists from Kenya, Niger and South Africa, their technologies, announced funding and the challenges of wider deployment. JOHANNESBURG, 28 October 2026 — Four innovators from Kenya, Niger and South Africa are preparing to compete in the Africa Prize for Engineering Innovation final today, with technologies addressing cardiac screening, patient monitoring, rural dialysis and nutrient recovery from urine. The Royal Academy of Engineering’s programme schedules the event for 17:30 South Africa Standard Time, or 18:30 East Africa Time . The winner is due to receive £50,000 , while the other three finalists will each receive £10,000 . This is a preview of the final and the projects behind it; the competition outcome remains ahead. They are Alice Muhuhu of Kenya with MoyoECG, Mamane Kabirou Ousseini of Niger with Likita Care, Naom Monari of Kenya with Renal Roads and Dyllon Randall of South Africa with Pee-Cycling. Their projects address healthcare access and resource recovery, with wider adoption depending on financing, maintenance and appropriate approvals. What the prize supports The official final page identifies the four finalists and the announced awards. A separate £5,000 One-to-Watch prize will be decided by an audience vote among the remaining shortlisted innovators. The competition follows eight months of training and mentoring. Its purpose is to help entrepreneurs commercialise engineering solutions, bringing business development alongside the technology itself. Prize money should be distinguished from the cost of a full expansion programme. An award can support a business, but the announced sum does not establish that a factory, clinical network or national service is fully financed. Nor does selection establish regulatory approval or prove every performance claim made for an innovation. Alice Muhuhu: cardiac screening closer to patients Kenyan doctor Alice Muhuhu founded Aurora Health Systems, the business behind MoyoECG. The organiser’s project profile describes a portable electrocardiogram platform that captures electrical signals from the heart and uses software to assist healthcare workers with interpretation and referrals. The intended setting is a clinic with limited access to specialist cardiac services or reliable connectivity. Bringing screening to that setting could change where a patient’s assessment begins, while referral and clinical care remain essential parts of the service.

ADVERTISEMENT Alice Muhuhu: cardiac screening closer to patients Kenyan doctor Alice Muhuhu founded Aurora Health Systems, the business behind MoyoECG. The organiser’s project profile describes a portable electrocardiogram platform that captures electrical signals from the heart and uses software to assist healthcare workers with interpretation and referrals. The intended setting is a clinic with limited access to specialist cardiac services or reliable connectivity. Bringing screening to that setting could change where a patient’s assessment begins, while referral and clinical care remain essential parts of the service. The Academy says the team aims to secure regulatory approvals, strengthen intellectual-property protection and expand deployment. Those are continuing objectives. A proposed network of more than 200 facilities should therefore be read as an expansion plan, rather than an achieved installation count. Mamane Kabirou Ousseini: equipment made and maintained in Niger Likita Care’s finalist profile describes an integrated medical-monitoring system developed in Niger by Mamane Kabirou Ousseini and co-founder Seydou Gnaly Ousmane. It combines hardware, clinical software and local fabrication. The proposition extends beyond selling a device. Training, installation and maintenance are part of the delivery model, addressing the problem of equipment becoming unusable when parts or technical support are difficult to obtain. ADVERTISEMENT The Academy reports that more than 70 monitoring units have been produced and deployed, with five medical centres using the system. These are organiser-reported deployment figures, rather than an independently audited national total. The stated next step is consolidation in Niger before expansion into neighbouring markets. For wider adoption, the useful measures include equipment uptime, repair turnaround, affordability and documented clinical performance. A purchase order and a device remaining reliably in service describe different stages of progress. Naom Monari: taking dialysis beyond fixed centres Kenyan nurse and entrepreneur Naom Monari’s Renal Roads project brings a dialysis clinic into a repurposed 40-foot shipping container mounted on a trailer. The Academy describes four dialysis machines, water treatment, plumbing, drainage, solar power and backup systems. The innovation is the mobile configuration and service model, rather than a claim that the dialysis machines themselves were newly invented. The unit rotates between communities and operates from local government health facilities, according to the project profile. This makes the operating arrangements as important as the vehicle: treatment schedules, trained staff, purified water, clinical oversight and reliable reimbursement all affect whether patients can continue receiving care. Wider coverage will require those systems to grow with the equipment. Dyllon Randall: turning a waste stream into useful products South African engineer Dyllon Randall co-founded Pee-Cycling with Caitlin Courtney. The Academy’s description explains a system that stabilises urine and uses pretreatment and reverse osmosis to produce concentrated liquid fertiliser and reusable water.

In a 30 September report, the University of Cape Town described collection at Cape Town’s DHL Stadium through a Bidvest partnership. It reported 2,700 and 3,600 litres collected at two sporting events. Those quantities describe urine collected on specific occasions, not daily fertiliser production or sales. They nevertheless illustrate a practical issue for scale: securing a dependable collection stream and arrangements to move, process and use it. The next test is sustained use Across the four projects, engineering is being adapted to the conditions in which people need a service: limited specialist access, difficult maintenance, distance from treatment or wasteful resource flows. XTRAfrica’s earlier coverage of municipal innovation in South Africa examines a related challenge: connecting technology with public-service delivery. The Academy’s online event programme lists a 17:30–20:30 SAST session, with timings subject to change. Readers can follow its registration information for online attendance. The confirmed award result will identify this year’s winner. The longer test will be whether the support produces additional installations, dependable services, affordable access and documented outcomes for the people the technologies are designed to serve.

Moses Paul, also called Dr Mo, is the Obidient Movement’s national coordinator. Explore his activism, political career and verified background. Moses Paul, widely known as Dr Mo, is a Nigerian civic organiser, activist and politician who became National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement on 1 October 2026. The appointment moved him from a senior organising role into the movement’s day-to-day leadership. It also placed a spotlight on a career spanning youth mobilisation, civil-society advocacy and electoral politics in Abuja. Paul previously served as the movement’s secretary-general, convened the Free Nigeria Movement and contested the 2026 Abuja Municipal Area Council chairmanship election on the African Democratic Congress platform. Who is Moses Paul? Moses Ogidi Paul, also called Dr Mo or MadMo, is a Nigerian activist, political organiser and former ADC candidate. He became National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement in October 2026 after years of civic mobilisation, advocacy around electoral accountability and political work linked to Peter Obi’s support network. Why Moses Paul now leads the Obidient Movement The Obidient Movement announced Paul’s appointment after a virtual meeting of its national leaders and state coordinators with Peter Obi on 30 September 2026. A statement from the movement’s Media and Communications Directorate, reported by the News Agency of Nigeria , said he would replace Yunusa Tanko, who had moved into a new role advising Obi on Northern Nigeria. Paul was tasked with building on structures developed under Tanko, including state and regional coordination, grassroots organisation and digital mobilisation. The Obidient Movement’s official website presents the organisation as a civic membership and mobilisation platform intended to function beyond one election cycle. Paul accepted the appointment by thanking the movement’s leadership and asking supporters for cooperation. In the statement carried by P.M. News , he described the movement as citizen-led rather than centred on one individual. That formulation fits the public role he had already built: organising people around political participation, public accountability and a claimed vision of a “New Nigeria.” The appointment also makes him an important figure in the political network around Obi as preparations intensify for Nigeria’s 2027 election. XTRAfrica’s reporting on the 2027 zoning debate shows the regional and coalition pressures shaping that contest. Paul appears in public records under several versions of his name. Moses Ogidi Paul is the fullest widely reported form. Dr Moses Paul and Dr Mo are common in political and media coverage, while MadMo was used more frequently in earlier stories about his creative, motivational and civic work. Election-related reports have also rendered his name as Paul Moses Ogidi.

A 2022 TheCable profile placed Paul at the intersection of civic engagement, media and youth development and linked the MadMo name to M.A.D MO Concepts, described as a media and consulting outfit. Paul’s own author biography describes him as an entrepreneur, organiser and convener of the Free Nigeria Movement. That description is self-published and should not be treated as an independent assessment, but the Free Nigeria role is also documented by Nigerian news organisations. His public life is therefore best understood not as a sudden rise from obscurity, but as a progression from civic advocacy into formal political organisation. ADVERTISEMENT Mobilising young voters around Peter Obi Paul became more visible nationally during the 2022 mobilisation around Peter Obi’s presidential campaign. In September of that year, he led an Abuja rally involving numerous support groups. He told reporters that the goal was to redirect the political energy of young Nigerians toward active citizenship, voter education and demands for better governance. The episode established themes that continued throughout his later work: youth participation, grassroots mobilisation and an effort to turn online political enthusiasm into structured activity. It also connected him directly to the coalition of volunteers and support groups that came to be known collectively as the Obidient Movement. The movement has never fitted neatly into a conventional party structure. Its supporters emerged from the 2023 campaign but often described themselves as a citizen-led network. In a May 2025 interview with the Independent newspaper , Paul then identified as the movement’s secretary-general said its work extended beyond elections into continuing grassroots organisation. That distinction remains politically important. The movement is closely associated with Obi, but its organisers have also tried to present it as a broader civic vehicle. Paul’s elevation gives him responsibility for navigating that tension: maintaining a movement built around a prominent political figure while arguing that it has a life and structure beyond one personality. Free Nigeria Movement and electoral advocacy After Nigeria’s February 2023 presidential election, Paul became prominent in demonstrations and public statements challenging the conduct of the poll. Vanguard reported that he spoke as convener of the Free Nigeria Movement during a peaceful protest in Abuja in March 2023. Paul and the coalition criticised the Independent National Electoral Commission and argued that the election process had undermined public trust. Those claims were political advocacy, not judicial findings. The episode nevertheless shows his shift from pre-election voter mobilisation to organised pressure over electoral accountability. His public interventions have regularly combined movement-building with strong political language. That record helps explain why supporters see him as an organiser, but it also means his new national role will be judged on whether he can coordinate a broad volunteer network while maintaining discipline, accuracy and internal cohesion. The 2026 AMAC chairmanship campaign Paul moved from advocacy into direct electoral competition as the African Democratic Congress candidate for chairman of the Abuja Municipal Area Council. AMAC covers much of Nigeria’s capital and is one of the country’s most politically visible local councils. His campaign emphasised education, health services, employment, local markets, waste management and accountable administration. ADVERTISEMENT The result did not put him in office. According to TheCable’s report on his later election petition , official returns credited APC candidate Christopher Maikalangu with 40,295 votes and Paul with 12,109. Paul rejected the result and challenged the election at the FCT Area Council Election Petition Tribunal, alleging irregularities. In June 2026, he also questioned the tribunal’s composition and sought a halt to judgment until that issue was addressed. Those claims did not by themselves establish that the election or tribunal was unlawful. The campaign nevertheless expanded his record beyond protest leadership. It required him to present a local-government programme, seek votes across AMAC and operate inside a political party. That experience now informs his leadership of a movement whose influence will ultimately depend on converting public enthusiasm into organisation at state, local-government and ward levels. XTRAfrica has also documented the heightened pressures surrounding Obi’s political activities, including the investigation after his convoy was blocked in Benue and a reported attack involving opposition figures in Edo . Those episodes provide context for the security, coordination and messaging challenges facing the movement’s new national coordinator. What is publicly established about his background Reliable reporting consistently identifies Paul as Nigerian and connects his adult public life to Abuja. It also establishes his work as an activist, organiser, political commentator and candidate. Some online profiles publish an exact birth date, academic degrees and extensive career claims, but those details are not repeated here because they were not sufficiently confirmed by authoritative records reviewed for this profile. The honorific “Dr” is widely used by Paul, the movement and Nigerian media. This biography preserves that public style without making an unsupported claim about the institution, field or date of a doctorate. His year of birth and current age also remain outside the verified public record used here. This wording protects private relatives and avoids turning an absence of reliable reporting into proof of a family status. Moses Paul career timeline Year Event Significance 2022 Led a major Abuja mobilisation supporting Peter Obi Raised his national profile as a youth and civic organiser 2023 Spoke as convener of the Free Nigeria Movement during post-election protests Placed electoral accountability at the centre of his activism 2025 Served publicly as Secretary-General of the Obidient Movement Established him within the movement’s national leadership 2026 Contested the AMAC chairmanship election for the ADC Marked his transition from advocacy into electoral politics 2026 Appointed National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement Made him responsible for coordinating the movement nationally What his appointment means Paul inherits an organisation that says it has structures across Nigeria’s 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, with regional and local coordination. His immediate test is managerial as much as political: coordinating volunteers, communicating a consistent message and keeping supporters engaged between elections. The role places him near the centre of opposition politics ahead of 2027. The Obidient Movement is not a registered political party, but its mobilisation can affect coalitions, candidate visibility and turnout. The new position will test whether Paul can translate advocacy and campaign experience into durable institutional leadership.

DRC promotes community forests at COP30 as a scalable, rights-based solution to fight deforestation, empower locals, and meet climate targets. As global leaders gather in Brazil for COP30, the Democratic Republic of Congo is presenting a bold, community-driven solution to the climate crisis. A new briefing released by over 20 Congolese civil society and Indigenous groups makes the case for community forestry as a key strategy to fight deforestation, protect biodiversity, and improve rural livelihoods. The DRC is home to 60% of the world’s second-largest rainforest and has a significant influence on the global climate. Since 2016, its legal framework has allowed local communities to claim and manage forest land — up to 50,000 hectares each — for conservation, sustainable agriculture, and ecosystem services. Today, 227 community forests already cover over 4.5 million hectares, with potential for much more. The briefing aligns community forestry with DRC’s major international commitments, including its updated climate targets (NDCs), the Congo Basin Compact, and the 30x30 biodiversity pledge. It also highlights the “Couloir Vert” — the world’s largest community forest corridor stretching from Beni to Kinshasa. Civil society is calling for greater funding, legal reforms, and national expansion of this model. “Community forestry works,” the document states. “It secures rights, protects forests, and supports livelihoods.” As Congo positions itself as a solutions country, it asks the international community to invest in local, rights-based approaches to climate justice. 🔗 Download the full briefing: “ Community Forests in DRC: A Solution for a ‘Solutions Country’” – Nov 2025 AGRICULTURE Congo Pushes Community Forests as a Climate Solution Ahead of COP30 By Serge Kitoko Tshibanda Political Analyst Serge Kitoko Tshibanda Home Comment Nov 11, 2025 May 15, 2026 2 min read Copy link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp Published Updated: As global leaders gather in Brazil for COP30, the Democratic Republic of Congo is presenting a bold, community-driven solution to the climate crisis.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup opens with 48 teams and a record African presence. Can the continent finally challenge for football's biggest prize? The 2026 FIFA World Cup kicks off on June 11 across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, opening a historic edition that expands the tournament to 48 teams and 104 matches. For Africa, the new format marks a major moment. The continent has 10 representatives at the tournament, its largest-ever World Cup presence, giving African football a wider platform than in previous editions . The expanded format is confirmed by FIFA’s official match schedule , which lists 104 matches in the first 48-team men’s World Cup. The tournament is also the first to be jointly hosted by three countries. Africa’s hopes are shaped by history. As it is noted , Morocco’s 2022 semi-final run remains the continent’s best-ever World Cup performance, surpassing earlier quarter-final runs by Cameroon, Senegal, and Ghana. The bigger question now is whether a larger African presence can translate into deeper progress. More teams mean more exposure, more competitive experience, and more chances to reach the knockout stages. DR Congo’s return adds another major storyline. The Leopards are back at the World Cup after a 52-year absence, making this edition especially significant for Congolese football and for African representation as a whole. Still, no African nation has ever reached a World Cup final. That remains the line this generation is trying to cross. As the 2026 FIFA World Cup begins, Africa enters with numbers, momentum, and belief. Whether that is enough to produce a historic breakthrough will be one of the tournament’s biggest storylines.

Jeffrey Nortey returns with 3 Faces of Jeffrey Nortey at Ghana’s National Theatre, promising film, stage and street storytelling. Jeffrey Nortey is not interested in becoming predictable. The Ghanaian actor, comedian and skitmaker is preparing to return with this year’s edition of 3 Faces of Jeffrey Nortey, and his message is clear: he does not want to be trapped in one creative lane. According to Local Ghana News, Nortey said his need to keep evolving is not a branding trick, but part of how he sees creativity. For him, growth comes from trying new forms, testing new ideas and refusing to let audiences define him by one role. “I don’t like being boxed. As a creative, I always want to explore new ideas and find different ways of telling stories. This year’s show is a reflection of that mindset,” he said. This year’s 3 Faces of Jeffrey Nortey is scheduled for Friday, June 12, at the National Theatre in Ghana. The production will be built around three ideas: film, stage and street, giving audiences a wider view of Nortey’s range as a performer. That format feels intentional. Nortey has built his reputation on movement — shifting between comedy, drama, spoken word, social commentary and character work without losing his connection with everyday Ghanaian life. Over the years, 3 Faces of Jeffrey Nortey has become one of Ghana’s notable comedy-theatre productions. Its appeal comes from the way it mixes humour with social observation, making people laugh while still giving them something to think about. Last year’s edition reportedly filled the National Theatre despite heavy rain. Audiences praised Nortey’s ability to move between different characters and themes while keeping the room engaged. That consistency has helped position him as one of Ghana’s more daring young entertainers — someone willing to stretch a working formula instead of repeating it safely. Details about this year’s supporting acts have not yet been revealed, but Nortey says fans should expect a bigger and more memorable show.

Nollywood actor Faith Onwuson opens up about her rise, challenges, harassment experience, personal life and future roles she hopes to explore. Nollywood actor Faith Ifeoma Onwuson, popularly known as Honeypot, says early fame has brought both new opportunities and added complications as she continues her rise in the film industry. The 23-year-old performer and content creator discussed her journey, challenges and aspirations in an interview with Saturday Sun . Onwuson, who grew up in a family of seven and attended UNIZIK schools, said her passion for acting began in childhood.
