Kofi Tonto, a member of the New Patriotic Party communications team, has called on the National Democratic Congress to prioritize fiscal discipline instead of debating the size of the cabinet. Speaking on public expenditure, Tonto said Ghanaians are more concerned about curbing wasteful spending than counting how many ministers are appointed. He argued that the pressing issue for the NDC government is not the number of ministers President John Mahama names but the amount of public money they spend. Excessive spending, Tonto noted, is what fuels frustration among citizens facing economic challenges such as high debt and inflation. He urged…

Tyrone Iras Marhguy is not your everyday student. From his dorm room, the young academic achiever has pulled off something many would consider impossible without a fully equipped laboratory; he built a working 8-bit Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) using only discrete MOSFETs. What makes his achievement even more remarkable is that he had no prior experience in chip design when he started. Driven by curiosity and determination, Tyrone dedicated over 250 hours to the project — carefully designing, simulating and verifying every part of the ALU from scratch. In total, he used 3,488 MOSFETs to create a unit capable of…

Ga and Daŋme are first tribes of Black Africa on the back of independence to African politics andneo-civilization to its people. Unfortunately, Most African Traditions in the world like Asantes, Zulus, Bantus and Ngunis have progressed far ahead of GaDaŋme in transitioning from Museum Data to AI Data. We must stop begging and blaming others for the neglect of Ga and Daŋme language. Rather the Maŋtsɛ Palaces be serve as central institutions for the Development and Integration of indigenous knowledge tools into Artificial Intelligence. These GaDaŋme Maŋtsɛ Palaces will not just become Central Engines for feeding Ga language, education and…
