COURT RULING: Alpha Radio CEO Fined GH¢20,000

In a recent ruling, the Kumasi High Court 7 dismissed a defamation case filed by Mohammed Ridwan, CEO of Alpha Radio, against Yussif Abdul Ganiyu Inshola, General Manager of Zuria FM 88.7, and the radio station itself.

The court, in its ruling on Tuesday, January 28, 2025, found insufficient evidence to support Ridwa's claims of defamation against Yussif Abdul Ganiyu Inshola and Zuria FM. Consequently, the court awarded a cost of GH¢20,000 to be paid by Mohammed Ridwan to Yussif Abdul Ganiyu Inshola and Zuria FM.

The case, which lasted for three years, stemmed from allegations made by Ridwan that Inshola had made defamatory comments about him on air. Specifically, Ridwan claimed that Inshola had stated that "some people are stealing in the name of God, they take money in the name of God and later appropriate it to themselves. These people are thieves." Ridwan alleged that Inshola was referring to him in these comments.

However, in his ruling, the judge noted that Ridwanu had claimed that several prominent individuals, including chiefs, imams, and well-meaning people, had called him to express their concerns about Inshola's alleged comments. Ridwan also alleged that RIDWAN had appropriated a radio station that belonged to the community for his own personal gain.

Despite these claims, the judge observed that Ridwan had failed to produce a single witness to corroborate his allegations. The judge stated that Ridwan had failed to provide sufficient evidence to support his claims of defamation, and therefore, the case was dismissed and cautioned

In a statement, Inshola expressed relief and gratitude at the court's decision. "We are pleased that the court has dismissed this frivolous case," he said. "We have always maintained that our comments were fair and truthful, and we are glad that the court has vindicated us."

The ruling is seen as a significant victory for press freedom and the right to free speech in Ghana. It is also a reminder that individuals and organizations must be careful not to abuse the legal system by filing frivolous lawsuits.

Zuria FM 88.7 , Commercial Radio based in Kumasi, is known for its news, sports, entertainment, and African music programming. The station has a large following in the Zongo community and is widely respected for its commitment to quality journalism.

Alpha Radio Community Radio , on the other hand, is a local radio station based in Kwabre outside Kumasi that is known for its lively discussions ,debate, Christian Gospel and Radio church services .

The case has sparked widespread interest and debate in the Media and among the Zongo community . Many have taken to social media to express their opinions on the ruling, with some praising the court for its decision and others criticizing Ridwan for filing the lawsuit in the first place.

As the dust settles on this high-profile case, one thing is clear: the court's decision is a significant victory for press freedom and the right to free speech in Ghana.

ARTICLE :
Standing Up Against Injustice: When the System Sees You as a Threat

Introduction

When injustice reigns supreme in a community, it's natural to feel the urge to speak out and demand change. However, when those in power perceive your efforts as a challenge to their authority, they may label you as a troublemaker or even a threat. This can lead to a complex and delicate situation, where your desire for justice is pitted against the system's desire for control. In this article, I 'll explore the dynamics at play and offer guidance on how we are navigating this challenging terrain.

My Desire for Justice

When we witness injustice, our conscience compels us to act. We may start by raising awareness, mobilizing support, and advocating for policy changes. Our goal is to create a fairer, more equitable society where everyone has access to the same opportunities. This desire for justice is rooted in our shared humanity and our recognition of the inherent worth and dignity of every individual.

The Backlash

However, those who benefit from the status quo may see our efforts as a threat to their power and privilege. They may try to silence us, discredit us, or even punish us for daring to challenge their authority. This backlash can take many forms, including:

- Character assassination: They may try to damage our reputation or question our motives.
- Gaslighting: They may deny the existence of the problem or tell us we're overreacting.
- Intimidation: They may use their power to make us feel afraid or vulnerable.
- Co-optation: They may try to absorb our message and neutralize our impact.

Navigating the Power Dynamics

So, how do we continue to fight for justice without being seen as a threat? Strategies :

1. Building alliances : Collaborate with like-minded individuals and organizations to amplify your message and demonstrate a united front.
2. Educate and raise awareness: Help others understand the issues and the need for change, addressing misconceptions and fears.
3. Engage in respectful dialogue: Open communication channels with those in power, seeking common ground and constructive solutions.
4. Persist peacefully: Continue advocating for justice, using non-violent methods that promote positive change.
5. Document everything: Keep a record of events, actions, and responses to protect yourself and your movement.
6. Take care of yourself: Recognize the emotional toll of this work and prioritize self-care.

Conclusion

Standing up against injustice requires courage, resilience, and strategic thinking. When those in power push back, remember that your quest for justice is not a declaration of war. By building alliances, educating others, engaging in respectful dialogue, persisting peacefully, documenting everything, and taking care of yourself, you can create meaningful change and build a more just society.

Additionally, we are considering the following:

- Celebrate small wins: Acknowledge and celebrate the progress you make, no matter how small.
- Stay adaptable: Be willing to adjust your strategy as circumstances change.
- Seek support: Surround yourself with people who understand and support your work.
- Stay true to your values: Remember why you started this journey and stay committed to your principles.

I understand , creating a more just society is a marathon, not a sprint. By staying focused, persistent, and strategic, you can overcome the obstacles and achieve meaningful change.

THINGS NOT TO DO IMMEDIATELY AFTER A BREAK UP

1) RUN INTO ANOTHER RELATIONSHIP

Don't try to use a new relationship to forget an old one,

Relationship is not a App you install just to help you forget your Ex, after you forget your ex, what then happens to the INSTALLED App?

Don't let mourning confuse you.

2) ISOLATE YOURSELF FROM HELP

You just came out of a break up, it's only normal to be in some sort of pain or hurt, you NEED help at such a time, you NEED company, you NEED advice...

Isolating yourself for too long from friends who want to help you heal can end you in depression, and worse.
No matter how bad you are hurting, allow friends who care have access to you.

3) STAY IN CONTACT WITH YOUR EX

Except you never loved them, but if you genuinely and intensively did, it's advisable you cut connections with your ex AT LEAST for the mean time, so you can get over them,

Stop sending them messages,
Stop calling them.
Stop texting them and hoping they pick and come back to you, you are delaying your healing time, you are making it hard for your body, soul, emotions and all to adjust to their absence.

Some people are stil obsessing over their ex that left them 4 years ago, going through their social media pages everyday, stalking them, you will NEVER heal this way.

4) ATTEMPT TO END IT ALL.

Su***de is never the answer.

God knows why that relationship had to end, why not trust him and stay alive to see what he has in store for you in the future.?
Why not TRUST GOD?
INSEAD, AFTER A BREAK UP DO THIS.

1) MOURN

Yes oh.
Crying helps to release the pain and hurt.
So don't form "I am strong, I am strong".. Is a lie, cry now, or cry later, fact is you will cry.

Mourn the Relationship, look at their picture if you must and allow yourself the luxury of a good heart felt cry.

You'll find this to be therapeutic.

2) EVALUATE

After mourning, when your head is clearer, evaluate.

What went wrong?

What red flags did you miss?

Where did you go wrong?

What could I have done better?

"He who doesn't learn from History will repeat History."

3) HEAL

Give yourself time.

Time heals all wounds

Go out, have Fun.

Hang out with friends,

Take a stroll daily.

See a comedy movie. Laugh
Avoid romantic movies as much as you can till your healing is complete.

4) LOVE AGAIN
And when all this is over, open your heart to love again..

ALHAJI INSHOLA'S TAKE OVER THE ZONGO PALACE : The collapse of a palace can be attributed to many factors, but one of the most significant reasons is the lack of accountability within the institution. When those in power are not held responsible for their actions, it can lead to a culture of corruption and negligence that ultimately results in the downfall of the palace.

Accountability is essential in any organization, but it is especially crucial in a palace where decisions made by leaders can have far-reaching consequences. When those in power are not held accountable for their actions, they may act with impunity, making decisions that benefit themselves rather than the institution as a whole.

In a palace where accountability is lacking, there is often a lack of transparency and oversight, allowing corruption to flourish unchecked. Leaders may engage in unethical behavior, such as embezzlement or bribery, without fear of repercussions. This can lead to a breakdown of trust within the institution, as those in power prioritize their own interests over the well-being of the palace and its inhabitants.

Furthermore, a lack of accountability can also result in a failure to address issues and challenges facing the palace. When leaders are not held responsible for their actions, they may ignore problems or sweep them under the rug, rather than taking proactive steps to address them. This can lead to a deterioration of the palace's infrastructure and resources, ultimately contributing to its collapse.

In order to prevent the collapse of a palace, it is essential to establish a culture of accountability within the institution. Leaders must be held responsible for their actions and decisions, and there must be mechanisms in place to ensure transparency and oversight. By promoting accountability, the palace can avoid the pitfalls of corruption and negligence, and instead thrive as a beacon of integrity and excellence.
