The first baby mama of Afrobeats star Davido, Sophia Momodu has called for respect and discretion in relationships, emphasizing the importance of allowing people to move on in peace.
Momodu recounted an incident where a content creator approached her inappropriately, prompting her to address the situation directly.
“Outside, the guys that was doing content saw me and then he got really excited. Wrong person, guys, wrong place, wrong female,” she said in a video shared on X.
“Let’s not do that. Let’s not do that. Let’s respect people’s marriages. Respect people… if people have moved on, allow them to move on in peace, you know what I mean.”
Momodu further expressed her frustration at public assumptions and undue attention, stressing the need for boundaries.
“I don’t want to move on in peace. I don’t want to see everyone is at peace. Everyone is doing what they are supposed to be doing. Just I don’t want us to move on,” she added.

“Please stop calling me davido wife, let’s all have respect for each other, I have already moved on from davido.”
The voodoo, otherwise known as Juju of one of the suspects who was recently arrested for dealing in illegal drugs within the Tamale Metropolis failed her.
According to the leader of the IGP Taskforce currently clamping down on activities of the illegal drug trade, DSP Ahaji Jalil Bawah, the suspect who is the wife of a popular Islamic cleric, believed she was well fortified spiritually and could not be arrested until the misfortune befell her.
“We acted upon a tip-off and when we got to her shop, she immediately started some incantations to escape arrest. When we searched the shop, we found amulets and other juju items which were meant to aid her escape arrest but because her time was due, we succeeded in arresting her,” he revealed.
Speaking at a public event on efforts made to clamp down on the trade of illegal drugs within the ancient region and surrounding areas, DSP Jalil Bawah sent a strong signal to those who feel they can get off the radar of his men to be warned that he will come after them.
“We arrested this Hajia upon a tip-off that she was into the illicit drug trade. I ordered my men to search her and the females among them did, and our suspicion was confirmed. Upon her arrest, we searched her house we discovered the illicit drugs and large quantities of dried leaves suspected to be Indian hemp. When asked who her supplier was she mentioned the name of the wife of a popular Islamic cleric who also mentioned the name of the son of a prominent person. During investigations, it was uncovered that the so-called Islamic cleric is the main supplier. As we speak, he is on remand. We must start to name and shame some of them”, he revealed.
A Ghanaian-born Medical Doctor based in Bonn, Germany, Dr Rashid Gariba rose to the occasion during a medical emergency on Brussels Airlines Flight SN277 from Belgium via Accra to Lome on Tuesday, December 30, 2025.
Dr Rashid Gariba who is a trained Neurologist, MyNewsGh.com has confirmed, saved the life of a 68-year-old patient who was heading to Ghana.
According to the Medical Doctor who confirmed the incident to MyNewsGh.com, an hour after take-off, the patient who is also a Ghanaian based in Berlin suffered some respiratory insufficiency and was being treated with an asthma spray as part of his medication but did not know how to apply it well.
He disclosed that the patient who appeared helpless as a result of the fact that he could not breathe and was on the floor drew panic from both the crew members and other passengers on board the flight. The crew then announced if there was a doctor on board, and he showed up to respond to the emergency.
“I was able to identify the problem and it was solved. I was rewarded with a First Class seat for my life-saving services. I was bringing some medical equipment to donate and luckily they came in handy. I had a nebuliser in my hand luggage as though it was planned. I am glad we were able to take care of it and everybody was happy, he disclosed.
Officials of the Ghana Immigration have revealed that processes are underway to deport the Liberian national who travelled to Ghana to join Ebo Noah’s ark
Mr Telly Jalloh was brought to the Elmina District Police Headquarters after he travelled from Liberia to join Ebo Noah’s ark.
According to police, Jalloh reported that he had travelled to Elmina after reading social media posts attributed to Prophet Ebo Noah, who allegedly claimed that a worldwide flood would occur on December 25 and that safety could only be found by joining an “ark” in Elmina or Takoradi.
During interrogation, Jalloh told police he first encountered the prophecy through social media and international news platforms, including CNN and the BBC, as early as June 8, 2025. He said he initially travelled to Takoradi, then moved through Accra and Cape Coast, before finally arriving at Elmina Beach in search of the purported ark. He later learned that no such ark existed.
MyNewsGh.com has gathered that the Komenda-Edina-Eguafo-Abrem (KEEA) Immigration department which was informed about the incident a week ago, has since profiled the victim and made arrangements to repatriate him to reunite with his family in Liberia.
A brief exchange between President John Mahama and Nigerian singer Asake has caught the attention of social media users following a recent firearm-related incident at a public event in Accra.
The interaction occurred on December 30 at a supercar exhibition, where the President met the musician in the presence of Ibrahim Mahama, Richard Nii Armah Quaye, John Dumelo and other guests.
In a video that has since circulated online, Mahama appeared surprised during introductions, asking, “Ooh, so he is the one the guy fired the gun for?”
When this was confirmed, Asake laughed before expressing regret, saying, “We are not happy about what happened.”
President Mahama responded calmly, telling the singer, “Don’t worry… the law is the law,” while smiling.
The comment comes after the Criminal Investigation Department’s Cyber Vetting Team announced the arrest of a suspect linked to a viral video showing a firearm being discharged at the El-Wak Stadium on December 28, 2025.
In a statement dated December 30, police said Abubakari Sadick, popularly known as “Cyborg,” was arrested a day later at Adenta.
“The suspect was arrested for possession and discharging of a firearm,” the police said, adding that “a Derya MK-12 firearm with registration number 22-GHA-1162 has been retrieved and secured as evidence.”

MTN Ghana has announced that it will be engaged in maintenance work on its network on January 2, 2026.
The maintenance is part of the process to prepare for the new VAT reform tariffs.
The telecommunications giant cautioned that from 12 am to 4 am on January 2, 2026, subscribers will not be able to purchase data bundles and airtime.
The VAT Reform is part of a broader government effort to streamline revenue collection and adjust the consumption tax on digital services.
For a market leader like MTN, these proactive system updates are essential to prevent billing discrepancies that could arise from the old tax rates overlapping with the new legal requirements.
It used the opportunity to apologise to its subscribers for the inconvenience this would cause, but urged users to purchase data and airtime before the specified date.
If I asked you to recite the 26 letters of the English alphabet without the melody—just speaking them in a monotone rhythm—you would likely stumble. You would have to think about it. But if you sing it? It’s automatic. It’s hardwired.
This is the “Schoolhouse Rock” effect. Neuroscientists have known for decades that melody and rhythm are the most effective “zip files” for the human brain. Music transforms dry data into sticky memories.
For years, educators have tried to harness this. They have searched YouTube for “songs about the periodic table” or “songs about irregular verbs.” Sometimes they get lucky. Usually, they find cringeworthy, low-quality videos that don’t quite cover the curriculum.
But in 2026, the classroom dynamic is shifting. We are no longer dependent on what other people have recorded.
I have been testing the pedagogical applications of the AI Lyrics into Song engine, and I am convinced it is the most underrated EdTech tool of the year. It allows any teacher, tutor, or student to turn a textbook page into a catchy, memorable track in seconds.
Here is why this is the best tool for the modern learning environment.
The Science of “Mnemonic Audio”
Why does this matter? Because “Text-to-Speech” (TTS) is boring.
We have had TTS for years. A robot voice reading a history chapter is efficient, but it isn’t engaging. It doesn’t create an emotional hook.
In my testing of the AI Lyrics into Song platform, I found that it bridges the gap between information and entertainment.
Rhythm as a Scaffold: When I inputted a list of Spanish vocabulary words and selected a “Reggaeton” beat, the AI naturally grouped the words into rhythmic clusters. This “chunking” makes it significantly easier for the brain to process and recall the list later.
Intonation and Accent: Unlike standard TTS, which often sounds flat, the singing AI mimics the natural rise and fall of the target language (prosody). For language learners, this is crucial for understanding the “flow” of a sentence, not just the individual words.
Classroom Use Cases: Beyond the Gimmick
I initially approached this as a fun novelty, but after running several “curriculum tests,” the practical utility became clear.
1. The Language Lab Revolution
Learning a new language is mostly about repetition. But repeating a sentence 50 times is tedious. Singing it 50 times is fun.
The Test: I inputted a complex French dialogue about ordering food in a restaurant. I chose a “French Chanson/Jazz” style.
The Result: The AI produced a track where the dialogue sounded like a natural conversation set to music. A student listening to this isn’t “studying”; they are listening to a vibe. They are absorbing the pronunciation passively.
2. STEM Memorization
Biology and Chemistry are full of complex terms that are hard to memorize.
The Strategy: You can paste the steps of “Mitosis” or the “Krebs Cycle” into the text box. Choose an aggressive “Punk Rock” or fast “Hyperpop” genre. The high energy forces the brain to pay attention.
My Observation: The AI’s ability to fit long scientific words (like “Mitochondria”) into a beat is surprisingly competent. It adjusts the tempo to make the syllables fit the measure.
3. History and Literature
Imagine teaching Hamlet. Instead of just reading the “To be or not to be” soliloquy, you generate it as a “90s Grunge” track (capturing the angst of the character). Suddenly, the students connect with the emotion of the text, not just the archaic language.

A Workflow for Educators
If you are a teacher looking to implement this, here is the most effective workflow I have found to ensure the song actually helps with learning.
Step 1: The “Curriculum Script”
Don’t just paste a Wikipedia paragraph. The AI works best with structured text. Rewrite the lesson as a poem or a set of bullet points.
Bad Input: “In 1492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue and he had three ships…”
Good Input:
[Verse 1]
In fourteen hundred ninety-two
Columbus sailed the ocean blue
[Chorus]
Niña, Pinta, Santa Maria
Sailing across the area
Step 2: Genre Matching
Match the genre to the energy of the class.
Morning Class: Use “Lo-Fi Hip Hop” or “Acoustic” to gently wake them up.
Post-Lunch Slump: Use “Electronic” or “Pop Punk” to inject energy into the room.
Step 3: The “Karaoke” Method
The platform allows you to generate the song, but you also have the text. Project the lyrics on the board while playing the generated track. This “dual-coding” (reading + listening) drastically improves literacy and retention.
Critical Limitations for Education
While this tool is powerful, it is not a replacement for a language tutor. Here is where you need to be careful.
Accent Accuracy: While the AI is good, it is not always 100% native-level perfect. In language learning, there is a risk of the AI mispronouncing a nuanced vowel sound. It should be used as a supplement to native audio, not the only source.
Speed of Delivery: Sometimes the AI sings too fast. If the goal is comprehension, you may need to manually add line breaks or punctuation in your text input to force the AI to pause and breathe.
Distraction: If the music is too complex, students might focus on the beat rather than the words. I found that simpler genres (Folk, Country, Lo-Fi) work better for education than chaotic genres (Metal, Dubstep).
The Future of the “Custom Textbook”
We are moving toward a future where “Generic Learning” is dead. Every student learns differently.
The AI Lyrics into Song generator empowers educators to create custom learning assets on the fly. If a student is struggling with a specific concept, you don’t need to find a new book. You can write a 4-line rhyme, generate it as a song in their favorite genre, and send it to them.
It turns the teacher into a creator. It turns the lesson into a playlist.
In 2026, the best way to study for a test might not be highlighting a book. It might be putting on your headphones and listening to the album you generated for your history final.
A pregnant woman in labour died while being transported to the Navrongo War Memorial Hospital after an ambulance was forced to take a long detour due to a broken bridge in Mayoro in the Kassena Nankana Municipality of the Upper East Region.
The direct route across the Mayoro River, which links the community to the municipal capital, was impassable, compelling health workers to travel through Kandiga Junction and Sirigu, a journey that took over an hour instead of the usual 15 minutes.
The incident has renewed concerns about the state of infrastructure in Mayoro and nearby communities, where two key bridges over the Mayoro and Navio rivers have remained broken for years. About 16,000 residents rely on these routes to access healthcare, markets, schools, and other essential services, particularly during the rainy season when movement becomes difficult.
Assemblyman for the Mayoro Electoral Area, Kingsley Kanwi, said the Mayoro River bridge collapsed about 30 years ago and has never been fixed.
“When it rains, you cannot pass here at all. The place becomes muddy, and we are cut off,” he said, adding that appeals to the municipal assembly have not yielded results.
Recounting the maternal death, Mr Kanwi said the ambulance could not use the shortest route.
“It had to pass through Kandiga Junction and Sirigu. By the time they were returning, she couldn’t make it. She passed on the way with the baby,” he said, noting that it was the third such case linked to the long detour.
Residents say the situation has also affected farming and trading activities, as poor roads make it difficult to transport produce to major markets, leading to losses.
Meanwhile, the Member of Parliament for Navrongo Central, Aworigo Akibange Simon, has assured residents that a contractor has been selected to construct a bridge over the Mayoro River. “A woman who was in labour needed to be carried to Navrongo and died, so we needed to get the road done,” he said, describing the road as a priority project.
