5 d. ago Focus on the Competition and Lose Your Product: A Political Marketing Lesson Ghana Must Learn

In every competitive space, business, sports, politics, the instinct to outdo the opponent is strong. But in marketing, that instinct can be fatal if it becomes obsessive. The brutal truth is this: focus too much on the competition, and you will lose your product. Political marketing, especially in Ghana, is dangerously guilty of this strategic misstep. Our campaigns are often more obsessed with destroying opponents than with building brands, more focused on discrediting rivals than on delivering a compelling value proposition to voters. The result is a political marketplace full of noise, bitterness, and cynicism with very little trust in the actual product: leadership.

2 w. ago Elephant in the room: Why Ghana missed the June deadline for 5G rollout

On November 1, 2024, a grand ceremony at the La Palm Royal Beach Hotel marked what was billed as the launch of Ghana’s first shared 4G/5G network under an exclusive 10-year licence awarded to the Next Generation Infrastructure Company (NGIC). But contrary to public perception, this was merely ceremonial—not an operational launch. Seven months later, Ghana still has no live public 5G network. At the time, the then Minister for Communications and Digitalisation, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, boldly assured Ghanaians that all three telcos—MTN, Telecel, and AT Ghana—would be offering 5G services by December 2024. “The network is ready,” she said. Yet, not a single live 5G service has gone public. The timeline has since shifted—from December 2024 to January 2025, then to May, and most recently, to June 2025.
