TOURISM: Maame Grace Petitions Government to Commemorate March 14 As Oshun Day And Copper Moon Festival

Renowned spiritual visionary and cultural advocate, Maame Grace, has officially declared March 14, 2025, as World Oshun Day, marking a historic celestial and spiritual discovery. She has petitioned the Ghanaian government to recognize this date as the first-ever World Copper Moon Festival, integrating it into the country’s tourism and cultural calendar.

 

In a recent address, Maame Grace explained the spiritual and cosmic significance of the copper moon, a celestial event commonly referred to as the blood moon eclipse. According to her, this phenomenon, when the moon takes on a reddish-copper hue, symbolizes the presence of Oshun, the river goddess of the Orisha pantheon, appearing in the sky. She emphasized that this event serves as a powerful alignment between human consciousness and the solar system, enhancing spiritual awakening and heightened intuition.

 

“Oshun is not just a river deity; she is the goddess of copper, and she manifests in the sky during the copper moon. This is not a day for worship but a day of natural spiritual alignment,” Maame Grace stated.

 

She further explained that Oshun governs the fourth chakra, which is associated with emotions, intuition, and personal energy flow. On March 14, 2025, she encourages people to engage in practices that amplify their psychic abilities, including drinking from copper cups and wearing copper-based accessories such as chains, bangles, rings, and anklets.

 

Maame Grace urged the Ghanaian government to officially recognize World Oshun Day as a national and global event, positioning it as a spiritual wellness and cultural tourism festival. She believes this could attract global spiritual travelers, researchers, and cultural enthusiasts to Ghana, boosting tourism and promoting African spirituality on the world stage.

 

She also cautioned against commercial exploitation of the event by self-styled spiritualists who might attempt to capitalize on the movement by charging fees or misleading the public with unverified practices.

 

“This is not a religious event, nor a call to servitude. It is a day for self-connection and enlightenment. It is for you, for your body, and for your mind,” she asserted.

 

With the next copper moon set to appear on March 14, 2025, Maame Grace is leading efforts to ensure that Ghana becomes the central hub for this celestial and spiritual festival, drawing global attention to the intersection of African spirituality, cosmology, and human energy alignment.

 

Her petition to the Ghanaian government, if approved, could mark the beginning of a new cultural and spiritual movement, placing Ghana at the forefront of a global conversation on indigenous knowledge, celestial phenomena, and spiritual wellness.

Unlocking Ghana’s Fintech Potential: Pioneering Integration And Lessons From Global Hubs

Unlocking Ghanas Fintech Potential
Ghana stands at the brink of a fintech revolution, with the potential to unlock significant growth and innovation in its financial sector. A key part of this journey includes the pioneering integration with Rwanda, setting a precedent for Africa’s fintech future. This integration, combined with lessons from global fintech hubs, could catapult Ghana into a leading position in African fintech [1].

The Vision of Interconnected Payment Systems

The initiative to link the payment systems of Rwanda and Ghana isn’t just about convenience; it’s a visionary step towards creating a more interconnected financial landscape in Africa. This reduces the friction in cross-border trade, paving the way for a more unified African market [1].

Ghana’s Fintech Ambition

Ghana, in particular, is poised for a fintech revolution. With the current administration’s manifesto promising to promote fintech growth and job creation, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has outlined plans for a $50 million FinTech Growth Fund to nurture indigenous fintech companies and support digital entrepreneurs [2]. Their Digital Jobs Initiative aims to bolster technology-based businesses, setting a foundation for fintech innovation. However, to truly unlock Ghana’s fintech potential, we must look beyond local initiatives and consider global best practices.

Learning from Global Fintech Hubs

Countries like Lithuania, Estonia, and Singapore have set exemplary standards in fintech regulation. Lithuania’s “Newcomer Program” and “Regulatory Sandbox” provide streamlined licensing and reduced capital requirements, while Estonia’s e-Residency program offers global entrepreneurs a digital gateway to Europe [3][4]. For instance, Ghana could emulate Singapore’s ‘Smart Financial Centre’ initiative, which focuses on creating an ecosystem conducive to fintech innovation, by establishing its own dedicated fintech zones with fiscal incentives and regulatory support tailored to local needs. Similarly, learning from Estonia’s e-Residency program, Ghana might consider a ‘Digital Residency’ initiative, allowing global entrepreneurs to easily set up and manage fintech businesses in Ghana, thus attracting international talent and investment.

A Collaborative Future for Africa

For Ghana to unlock its fintech potential, collaboration with Rwanda and other African nations is key. This partnership not only enhances cross-border transactions but also sets a blueprint for regional fintech integration, directly contributing to Ghana’s growth by providing a larger market and shared resources. By learning from each other’s successes and challenges, Ghana can leverage this regional synergy to foster a thriving fintech environment.

Building Talent and Infrastructure

Developing a skilled workforce is paramount. Initiatives to promote digital literacy and specialized training for fintech professionals can bridge the talent gap, not just in Ghana but across Africa. This aligns with the vision of creating jobs and fostering innovation as outlined in the NDC’s manifesto [2]. Investing in digital infrastructure like payment systems, data centers, and cybersecurity, as advocated by the International Monetary Fund, will be crucial [5].

Inclusive Fintech for All

To ensure inclusivity, fintech solutions in Ghana could be designed with rural communities in mind, like mobile banking services that work offline or with minimal internet connectivity, similar to M-Pesa in Kenya. Additionally, initiatives could focus on women’s financial empowerment, offering products that address specific needs like micro-loans or savings schemes designed for women entrepreneurs, drawing inspiration from successful models in India where fintech has been tailored to support women’s financial inclusion.

Key Highlights:

Ghana is poised to unlock its fintech potential through integration with Rwanda, setting a precedent for Africa
The NDC’s initiatives like the FinTech Growth Fund aim to support local fintech growth.
Global fintech hubs like Singapore and Estonia provide models for regulatory innovation that Ghana can adapt.
Collaboration within Africa, especially with Rwanda, is crucial for expanding Ghana’s fintech market.
Investment in digital infrastructure and talent development is fundamental for fintech growth in Ghana.
Inclusive fintech strategies are essential to ensure broad societal impact, particularly focusing on rural and women’s financial inclusion.
Conclusion: A Vision for Ghana and Africa

Ghana’s path to becoming a fintech leader involves unlocking its vast potential through pioneering integration with Rwanda, learning from global fintech hubs, and fostering a collaborative environment. By embracing these strategies, Ghana can lead the charge in creating an inclusive, innovative, and prosperous fintech landscape in Africa. This vision not only enhances Ghana’s position but also serves as a beacon for the continent, demonstrating how strategic collaboration and global learning can unlock true fintech potential.

I Quit Schooling Because Of Music – Mary Owusu

Renowned Ghanaian gospel artiste, Mary Owusu, has made a startling revelation about her past. In a recent interview on Oman FM’s “M’adwuma” show, hosted by Burundy, Mary disclosed that she had to abandon her education to pursue a career in music.

According to Mary, her passion for music grew to the point where it became impossible for her to balance her academic responsibilities with her musical ambitions. Despite being an exceptional student, Mary found herself dedicating increasingly more time to music, ultimately leading to her decision to quit schooling.

Mary’s story, however, comes with a valuable lesson. When asked to offer advice to young women who may be tempted to compromise their values in pursuit of success, Mary urged them to remain focused on their goals and to prioritize their faith.

“Let God lead you,” Mary counseled. “Work hard, earn your daily bread, and trust that God will guide you to your destination without requiring you to sacrifice your values.”

Mary’s words of wisdom come as she promotes her latest single, “Divine Selection,” a testament to her enduring commitment to her faith and her music.
