CEO of uniCredit Samuel Sakyi-Hyde explains the God factor in his success as a banker Samuel Sakyi-Hyde is not just a banker with almost two decades of experience, but also a soulful man of God, a lecturer of repute, a father to three strong boys and a loving husband to a beautiful and understanding wife. The newly appointed CEO of uniCredit, the savings and loans company, says he has been handling all duties efficiently and effectively “with the able grace of God Almighty”. Recounting his humble beginnings from the streets of Accra Newtown through Bubuashie and then Adenta, all in the Greater Accra Region, Samuel says that since his school days in the University of Ghana, where he studied statistics and economics, he has always wanted to be a banker. Therefore, landing his national service job at Ga Rural Bank was no surprise to him. Over there, he learnt the rudiments of banking – tellering, back-office operations, clearing, credit, and projects. After picking up the ba...

Okyeame Kwame, the "Rap Doctor" Versatile musician Okyeame Kwame has revealed that the attractive locations and scenery in South Africa is what is luring Ghanaian artistes to shoot their music videos in that country. Ghanaian musical heavyweights E.L, M.anifest, and D-Black seem to have fallen in love with South Africa especially when it is about shooting that eye-catching video for their club bangers. The renowned rapper and singer Kwame Nsiah Apau, known in showbiz as Okyeame Kwame, in a recent interview, tried to explain the exodus of local artistes to South Africa to shoot their music videos citing the country’s beautiful scenery and sprawling infrastructure. “The choice of South Africa is based on a number of factors from well-developed infrastructure and beautiful scenery to the professionalism of the production companies and their ability to deliver quality work in a timely manner.” Okyeame Kwame has been in the music industry for well over fi...

Don’t destroy yourself. Destruction is self-caused. Nothing good comes easy and neither do bad things, too. There’s so much to be enjoyed and fulfilled on earth; why be in a haste to enjoy through dubious, corruptible means that will destroy your live. Much more is expected of you. Nothing shatters darkness like light. Understanding gives light. I’m a graphic artist by profession, but when I started writing, many were conjecturing, some were praising and some also said, “you can do it”.  Sometimes, you could get so depressed, but whence come my help? My help comes from the Lord. The only way to get ahead when you’re down is to rely on the Sovereign God Most High. Light will always make the difference anywhere. When you locate the light in your divine being, nothing can shatter your aspirations. Until your night falls or tiredness comes, you are not permitted to enter into a state of torpor. That doesn’t mean you have to overwork yourself to gain something. You need to wor...

Often, some people think you can play a smart one by lying. But, can you help a liar? Every sort of sexual sin, cheating, breaking the law, bribery and others, you name it, I’ve seen it all. There is an established set of procedures in place to deal with those who get in trouble.   Very often they are able to help the young people make amends and set their lives on a new path. You can’t help a liar. You can help anyone struggling with any sort of difficulty or sin as long as they tell the truth. I hope you know and will agree with me that you can't can’t help a liar because you can’t trust anything he says. The situation is compounded by the fact that when most of us get caught in any vice act, we confess as little as possible. That’s not an ordinary person's problem; that’s a human problem. And that leads to the second key point.   One sign of true repentance is when “someone tell you something you didn’t already know.”   If you knew A + B + C, but the person then add...

Marriage is really a good thing. It shapes your attitude and helps you enjoy the blessings of togetherness. Now, to our topic for today: "Is marriage ideal?" Yes! The answer is really a whole lot less complicated than many have made it – and it is nowhere near as confusing as some traditional teaching may have taught. A man once said: No one knows what marriage will eventually become, but for now it’s incredibly personal – it's about two people and their commitment to one another, and each commitment is unique. Marriage – even when you are engaged to the so-called right person – will require lots and lots from within to make or create a happy and successful home. It takes much of all in you to give out in love before even the receiving comes. Honestly, your marriage could go in any direction by the words from your tongue. The Bible says: "...whatsoever you shall say to this mountain, be removed,... he shall have whatsoever he says" (Mark 11:23). But ...

Often, it baffles me to see or know that some ladies are interested in getting pregnant to tie down a man to them, only to find later that pregnancy does not improve their relationship but rather creates a conflict that leads to separation. Meanwhile, what is marriage? According to Wikipedia, marriage is an institution in which interpersonal relationships, usually intimate and sexual, are acknowledged. Such a union is often formalised via a wedding ceremony. People actually marry for many reasons, which include procreation, emotional, financial and spiritual reasons, for love, religion and a host of others. It is common knowledge these days that many guys want their ladies to become pregnant before marriage, and many ladies themselves want to conceive before their wedding. This means that pregnancy is becoming a prerequisite for marriage. The reality though is that many churches these days don't join a couple together if the woman is pregnant, except if the church is n...

I’ll want to write and educate you on weaving your way through tough times in marriage and relationships. Countless people find themselves in stumbling thoughts as to whether to marry or not. If you’re feeling hurt and unloved, frustrated that things aren’t getting better, troubled about what may happen next or even worried that it may be too late, I want you to know that there is help in any problem. Marriage is a gift from the Most High. I count it a great privilege to share God's Word with you today. It's my prayer that there will be a transformation in your marriage and home as you go through part one of this article – in Jesus' name. This month, by the enabling power of the Holy Spirit, I will be looking at Marriage: A Gift from God. God's Word says: “A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it: withersoever it turneth, it prospereth” (Proverbs 17:8). When a man is presented with a gift, how he sees it will determine how much value...
