Gospel Musician, Joseph Matthew Has Shown How Ghana Can Easily Win The World Cup

The world cup is here once again and the quest for an African team or specifically team Ghana to win this world cup in Qatar is dire than ever.
Ghana together with Senegal, Morocco, Tunisia and Cameroon are the nations representing Africa at this year’s World Cup.
It’s extremely disheartening that upon all the legendary footballers like Ghana’s Abedi Pele, Liberia’s current President George Opong-Weah, Ivory Coast’s Didier Drogba and Samuel Eto’o from Cameroon, who are Africans, the continent is yet to win the most prestigious football tournament in the world.
The highest stage an African country has ever gotten to is the quarter finals. The first African country to achieve such a feat is Senegal in 2002, followed by Ghana at the 2010 mundial in South Africa.
At the 2010 World Cup which was the first to be staged in Africa, Ghana became the closest African team that was inches away from making history as the first to qualify into the semi finals.
The Black Stars reached the last-eight stage in what was just their second World Cup campaign, were on the verge of becoming the first African team to reach a World Cup semi-final but the dream was short-lived when Uruguay trashed them in a penalty shoot out.
However, the question that football enthusiasts and connoisseurs keep asking is, “Can an African team ever win the World Cup?” Even if it’s a “yes”, “when will that happen?”.
Well, once a footballer, UK-based Ghanaian Afro-gospel musician, Joseph Matthew has prophessed that an African team can surely win the World Cup if they adequately prepare.
Speaking to hotfmghana.com , the ‘Blessed’ Hitmaker outlined what most african teams, especifically, Ghana’s team, the ‘Black Stars’, must do in order to win the Cup. He said,
“Why not! An African team can win …Ghana Black Stars can surely win …But in Africa, we don’t like to take strides in long-term planning.
A coach would be hired and before the world cup he would be sacked then another coach takes over with a different philosophy and different players… We lack sustainability”, he added.
The award-winning Afro-gospel musician stated that another horrendous contrivance hindering our chances of winning the world cup is the interference from our football governing bodies and process of selecting players.
The ‘Nyame Ye’ crooner advised that,
“The Ghana football Association must adopt a long-term strategy that would propel the Black Stars to win her first World Cup”.
In this, he asserted that grooming players from the get go till they grow into the national team is ideal to our success.
Ever since Joseph Matthew surfaced in the Ghanaian Gospel Music scene in 2019, he has released impressively produced songs such as ‘Nyame Ye’, ‘My Story’ ‘The Name’ and ‘Blessed’
‘Blessed’, which was released in May this year, has been heavily tipped by entertainment pundits to win ‘Record of the Year’ award at the 2023 Ghana Music Awards.

Daddy Lumba’s ‘Mpempem Do Me’ Makes King Charles III Personal Playlist

The monarch celebrates music from across the Commonwealth in a new broadcast with Apple Music.
His Majesty King Charles III and Apple Music have collaborated to launch The King’s Music Room, his playlist drawing inspiration from the Commonwealth. The project was initiated when the monarch invited Apple to Buckingham Palace to discuss his personal selection of music to mark this year’s Commonwealth Day.
The playlist features a range of songs from artists such as Bob Marley, Kylie Minogue, Anoushka Shankar, Raye, Siti Nurhaliza, Diana Ross and Ghanaian music legend Daddy Lumba, all introduced with anecdotes about his own experiences with the talent over the decades.
The inclusion of Mpempem Do Me by Daddy Lumba comes as no surprise, as he requested and danced to the song a couple of years ago during a dinner ceremony held for him during a visit to the Commonwealth country.
Watch the then Prince Charles and then Duchess of Cornwall dance to their favourite Daddy Lumba song.
In his introduction, he says, “Music… can lift our spirits to such a degree, and all the most so when it brings us together in celebration. In other words, it brings us joy.” He pays tribute to the Windrush Generation “whose gifts have so greatly enriched our country,” and the “wonderfully diverse tapestry that makes up the modern Commonwealth, with its rich pattern of cultures that it continues to share with peoples across the entire world.”
The playlist is an apt forum for expressing the breadth of music from the Commonwealth, as artists with heritage from countries such as Ghana, Malaysia and Jamaica take precedence. “The Commonwealth has produced more than its fair share of wonderful songs, singers and musicians,” said Errollyn Wallen, the Master of the King’s Music Room. “And this fun and eclectic collection is a great reminder of this treasure trove of creativity.
Check His Majesty King Charles III’s Playlist below.
The special playlist is to mark Commonwealth Day 2025.

Carl Dean, Dolly Parton’s Husband Who Inspired ‘Jolene,’ Dies At 82

Carl Dean, Dolly Parton’s devoted husband of nearly 60 years who avoided the spotlight and inspired her timeless hit “Jolene,” died Monday. He was 82.
According to a statement provided to The Associated Press by Parton’s publicist, Dean died in Nashville, Tennessee. He will be laid to rest in a private ceremony with immediate family attending.
“Carl and I spent many wonderful years together. Words can’t do justice to the love we shared for over 60 years. Thank you for your prayers and sympathy,” Parton wrote in a statement.
The family has asked for respect and privacy. No cause of death was announced.
Parton met Dean outside the Wishy Washy Laundromat the day she moved to Nashville at 18.
“I was surprised and delighted that while he talked to me, he looked at my face (a rare thing for me),” Parton described the meeting. “He seemed to be genuinely interested in finding out who I was and what I was about.”
They married two years later, on Memorial Day — May 30, 1966 — in a small ceremony in Ringgold, Georgia.
Dean was a businessman, having owned an asphalt-paving business in Nashville. His parents, Virginia “Ginny” Bates Dean and Edgar “Ed” Henry Dean, had three children. Parton referred to his mother as “Mama Dean.”
