Politics or Tribe? OB Amponsah’s Deleted Post Tears Social Media Apart

Published

on

If there is one thing Ghanaians on social media love more than jollof, it is receipts. And this Saturday, the receipts came with a side of chaos, laughter, and a whole lot of side-eyeing. From the football pitch to the red carpet and the pulpit, the digital streets were a battlefield.

The undisputed king of the timeline was Prophet Fire Ogya. After the Black Stars secured their ticket to the 2026 World Cup on Sunday, the cleric became the internet’s favorite punching bag on Saturday as clips of his failed prophecy resurfaced.

Social commentator Bongo Ideas led the charge, mockingly asking if the prophet’s “white horse” revelation was a divine vision or a trip to the zoo . The memes were relentless, tapping into a deep Ghanaian skepticism of “one-man churches” who gamble on sports predictions.

Simultaneously, a more sartorial spat was unfolding. Fashionista Osebo the ZaraMan went scorched earth on the just-ended TGMA red carpet, calling Ghana’s fashion culture “very poor” and suggesting the awards leave the country.

He argued it’s embarrassing to see €1,000 shoes beside ‘chale wote’ (local slippers). The quote went viral, splitting the room between those who agreed our standards are slipping and those who accused Osebo of gatekeeping.

Meanwhile, a political firestorm burned through Facebook. Comedian OB Amponsah briefly posted—then swiftly deleted—a comment labelling the Tourism Minister as “TouEweism.” The post ignited a fierce debate about ethnicity vs. politics.

Blogger Rashad weighed in heavily, arguing that the anger between Ashantis and Ewes is manufactured by the NPP and NDC for political gain, insisting: “Our problem in this country is politics”.

From false prophets to fashion wars, Ghana’s digital mood is loud, proud, and refuses to take itself too seriously.

Parteygate, Peller’s Proposal, and the China Mall Raid: Decoding Ghana’s Trending X Timeline

If you think the only action is on the pitch in Canada, you haven’t opened your X timeline today.

Sunday, June 14, 2026, has served up a digital cocktail of legal drama, romantic spectacle, and civic anger, proving that Ghanaians are trending worldwide for more than just football.

Dominating the algorithms is the storm surrounding Thomas Partey. Forty-eight hours after Canada denied the Black Stars star a visa over pending legal cases in the UK, the hashtag #ParteyGate isn’t dying down—it is evolving.

While the government calls the move “arbitrary,” the online court is split. Some fans argue “innocent until proven guilty,” pointing out inconsistencies with other global stars, while a vocal demographic is demanding the player be dropped entirely, shifting the debate from strategy to morality.

Meanwhile, shifting from judicial heat to celebrity heat, Nigerian influencers Peller and Jarvis have successfully exported their love story to Accra.

Their viral proposal video is the soft content Ghanaians needed. It’s a fascination with Pan-African “soft life” aesthetics, but as with all things digital, critics are already speculating if the rings are real or just high-production props.

Videos of the heavily guarded site are fueling claims of corruption and environmental negligence, with residents feeling silenced by state machinery.

Whether it is defending a footballer’s rights, celebrating a viral couple, or fighting a mall, Ghana’s online discourse this Sunday reflects a nation obsessed with justice, representation, and accountability.

Dumsor, DStv, and Defamation: The Unholy Trinity Trending in Ghana

Accra, get off your timeline! If the energy on X (formerly Twitter) and Facebook today is anything to go by, Ghanaians have traded their morning coffee for a potent blend of luxury flexing, legal drama, and football fatalism.

Thursday, June 11, wasn’t just the kickoff of the World Cup; it was a masterclass in the chaotic, vibrant, and deeply opinionated nature of Ghana’s digital streets.

The undisputed king of the algorithms this morning was musician Oseikrom Sikani. A video of the artiste showing off his luxury Cartier watch has gone viral, specifically because he claimed the timepiece is valuable enough to “sponsor 3 bloggers abroad”.

The reaction has been a perfect split: half the comment section is memeing the “disrespect,” while the other half is calculating the resale value of a Cartier. It’s the ultimate conversation on wealth, clout, and the tense love-hate relationship between celebrities and the blogosphere.

However, the mood shifts drastically from flexing to tears when scrolling further down the feed.

A harrowing video of a father reuniting with his son after being wrongfully jailed for allegedly selling the child is pulling at heartstrings.

Simultaneously, a TikToker known as Pretty Lady is trending for a very different reason—kneeling and sobbing at the Police Headquarters while begging gospel star Empress Gifty for forgiveness over defamatory remarks made years ago. It is a stark reminder that in Ghana, the digital past will always find you in the physical present.

Finally, the 2026 FIFA World Cup is here, but the conversation is less about tactics and more about spiritual warfare. With the Black Stars preparing for Panama, Prophet Clement Testimony has dropped a “heartbreaking prophecy” that Ghana won’t exit the group stage.

Naturally, Twitter is roasting him alive, while MP John Dumelo is winning offline PR by paying for DStv subscriptions and kenkey for constituents to watch the matches.

Whether via bread, circuses, or Cartiers—Ghana’s internet never sleeps.

From “Arrest Him” to “Scam Alert”: The 3 Trends That Broke Ghana’s Internet Today

If there is one thing Ghanaians on X (formerly Twitter) and Facebook proved today, it is that the digital streets never sleep. 

Tuesday, June 9, 2026, was a masterclass in mood swings, as the national timeline ricocheted wildly between demands for political blood, fierce debates over fan loyalty, and the collective disgust over school violence.

Politics dominated the heavy bag. Hours after convicted former MASLOC CEO Sedina Tamakloe-Attionu was extradited to Ghana, the applause for the US Embassy quickly turned into a roar of impatience.

The trending question? “Where is Ken Ofori-Atta?”  Users flooded the #BringBackKen hashtag with memes of the former Finance Minister, accusing the state of selective justice.

While many cheered the extradition, others warned it was a distraction from economic woes, reflecting the intense governance scrutiny IMANI Africa recently reported.

But the discourse took a sharp turn into entertainment economics. Shatta Wale threw a grenade into the dancehall fandom by announcing a GH₵100 fee for a “Gold Card” Shatta Movement membership.

The reaction was brutal and swift. Fans, who the “Dancehall King” claimed made him a millionaire, labeled it a “scam” and a “cash grab.”

The sight of the self-acclaimed billionaire asking the “suffering masses” for registration fees sparked a wave of hilarious “ATM” edits that trended for hours.

Meanwhile, a chilling viral video from Nyinahini Catholic SHS jolted the platform back to reality. Footage of a teacher violently wrestling a female student—punching and throwing her to the ground—triggered a firestorm.

As police arrested the educator, social media warriors debated the line between discipline and assault, with many calling for a total overhaul of corporal punishment policies in senior high schools.

Today showed a Ghanaian electorate that is analytical (chasing Ofori-Atta), protective (condemning the teacher), and fiercely transactional (rejecting paid fan clubs).

It wasn’t just a day of news; it was a day of accountability.
