A SPECTACULAR CELEBRATION OF CUSTOMARY RITES SETS THE STAGE FOR A WORLD CUP SPECTACLE ON MISS AKWAABA SEASON 5!
ACCRA, GHANA — It was a night of pure cultural depth, intense emotions, and world-class showmanship as the fourth week of Miss Akwaaba Season 5 came off yesterday, Sunday, June 7, 2026, live at the ultra-modern, state-of-the-art digital CeejayTV Studio in Lapaz-Accra. Under the theme "Customary Rites," the delegates took the audience on a spiritual and educational journey through the sacred traditions, inheritance rights, and passage ceremonies of their respective regions, leaving the judges and viewers in absolute awe.
The night belonged to Nana Ama, who put up a masterful, flawless performance that completely commanded the stage. Her extraordinary depth and stage presence earned her both the highly coveted Akwaaba Excellence Award and the Best Performer Award. Joining her in the winner's circle was the crowd favorite, Talata, who won the hearts and text messages of the public to grab the Viewers' Choice Award. Meanwhile, Sitsofe stood tall as the epitome of true heritage preservation, taking home the Most Authentic Delegate Award.
But the competition is only getting hotter. As the dust settles on the customary celebrations, the remaining 9 Delegates must quickly switch gears from traditional customs to global sports tourism!
With the 2026 FIFA World Cup officially kicking off this week, the whole world’s attention is turning to football. Next week, on Sunday, June 14, 2026, Miss Akwaaba Season 5 is throwing out the original festival tasks to bring you a heavily anticipated, highly electric sport and heritage presentation task!
Dressed proudly in their official Ghana Black Stars jerseys, the remaining 9 delegates will demonstrate to the globe how our legendary national team is gearing up to conquer the world. Expect deep dives into the squad, honoring veterans like captain Jordan Ayew, engine-room mastermind Thomas Partey, and Manchester City's sensational €74 million forward, Antoine Semenyo, alongside an exciting crop of fresh new talent.
That is not all! The delegates will merge the beauty of football with the richness of Ghanaian tourism. They will make a passionate case for why international football fans must visit Ghana, highlighting historic sanctuaries like the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park in Accra. Viewers will be taken back to 1957, walking the exact grounds where our founding father, Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, stood to boldly declare Ghana the first black nation south of the Sahara to gain independence from colonial rule. From explaining how he birthed our Red, Gold, Green, and Black Star flag to pitching breathtaking sites like Kakum National Park, Cape Coast Castle, and Mole National Park, this is a show you absolutely cannot afford to miss.
Brace yourselves for a high-octane evening, capped off by an explosive, traditional "Jama Song" finale where the delegates will chant away the fears of any global opponent coming Ghana's way. Who will rise to the occasion and prove they are a true global cultural ambassador? Tune in to CeejayTV next week Sunday at 7:00 PM prompt!
