Twellium Ghana’s Verna Changing Lives Paid a Surgery fee of GHC 101,500for Rhoda Akorfa Senyegbe

Following the recent public plea for cash donations of 7,000 Dollars equivalent
to GHC 101,500 to aid a surgery on Rhoda Akorfa Senyegbe who has been
diagnosed with a critical Large Left Atrial Myxoma condition by the National
Cardiothoracic Centre, Twellium Industrial Company Limited, under its
remarkable initiative, “Verna Changing Lives” have stepped in to foot the total
cost to facilitate the surgery at the earliest possible time.
On Friday, May 17th
, representatives from Twellium Ghana, alongside members
of the Ghana Medical Association (GMA), presented the symbolic cheque to
Rhoda and her family at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital in Accra. At that
moment, amidst tears of gratitude and heartfelt embraces, the weight of
uncertainty lifted, replaced by the promise of a future renewed.
However, this selfless gesture by Verna Mineral Water is not shocking as the
brand has been recognized as a steward in its long legacy of giving back to
society and transforming lives over the years. Reflecting on their past initiatives,
one recalls Verna’s benevolent act last year, where they disbursed GHC 5,000
weekly for 12 weeks amounting to a total of GHC 60,000 to individuals facing
hardships, empowering them to kick-start their businesses, and GHC 75,000
donation to the Ghana National Amputees Football team to support them as
they represent the nation at this year’s African Cup in Egypt as the most recent.
Verna’s role in societal well-being transcends mere philanthropy, it embodies
the zeal to change lives for the better and provide future hope for countless
individuals.
As they continue their noble mission, Verna pledges to remain a tool for
change, promising the Ghanaian public that their endeavors to transform lives
will persist. In the narrative of Rhoda Akorfa Senyegbe, Verna Changing Lives
etched a chapter support. As her journey continues, she walks not alone but
with the solidarity of a community that believes in the power of humanity to
change lives for the better.

Patoranking Foundation and ALX Africa Unveil $500,000 Tech Scholarship Initiative

 

Patoranking Foundation, a non-profit organisation on a mission to advance Africa through education, entrepreneurship and empowerment, has announced the launch of the $500,000 Patoranking Foundation Tech Scholarships. In a strategic partnership with ALX Africa, a leading provider of tech training, the scholarships will provide 40 young tech-savvy Africans with access to a variety of transformative technology programmes in data analytics, cloud computing and Salesforce Administration. The partnership is aimed at preparing the scholars to become the next pioneers in technology.

Founded by African musician, Patrick Okorie aka Patoranking, the Patoranking Foundation utilises research, advocacy and partnerships to provide transformative educational programs and market-ready entrepreneurial skills to outstanding young leaders in Africa. Having invested over $1 million on youth education in Africa over the last six years, the introduction of a $500,000 tech scholarship in partnership with ALX Africa, marks a new chapter in the Foundation’s mission. From 30th May 2024, 40 exceptional candidates will stand the chance to participate in world-class tech training programmes, developing in-demand tech skills sought after by leading global employers.

 

Candidates will ideally already be changemakers in their community, and as part of their scholarship, will have the opportunity to qualify for internship opportunities with leading global tech companies to bridge the gap between theory and real-life practice. The tech scholarship is open to candidates from all over Africa. Candidates will be required to successfully complete the ALX admissions process and beneficiaries will be selected after a review of the individual application videos and essays submitted on the foundation’s website.

 

Speaking on the partnership, Patrick Okorie, Founder, Patoranking Foundation, said: “ At Patoranking Foundation, we are dedicated to advancing Africa through education and entrepreneurship. In the past, we have done this by providing academic scholarships to exceptional African students at all levels and have now partnered with ALX Africa to announce technology scholarships. ALX Africa shares our commitment to empower tomorrow’s leaders via access to advanced digital skills that are critical to future employability and entrepreneurship and we are delighted to partner with them. This step takes us closer to our goal of equipping one million Africans within the next 10 years. At Patoranking Foundation, we are ardent believers in the abundance of exceptional talents and changemakers in Africa, and will continue to challenge the financial inequalities that threaten the emergence of the next generation of African disruptors.”

 

The Patoranking Foundation has leveraged partnerships to provide promising young leaders with access to leading educational institutions under its Sky Level Initiative. In 2020, the Foundation awarded full scholarships to 10 scholars from eight African countries, including Nigeria, Tanzania, Uganda and Liberia, to enable them to study at the African Leadership University (ALU) in Rwanda or Mauritius. At the primary and secondary education level, 170 young pupils are currently on scholarship in five leading schools in Ebonyi state, Nigeria, the founder’s home state. This $500,000 tech partnership with ALX Africa will be open to youths from all parts of Africa, aged between 18 and 34, at no cost with all related fees covered. Beneficiaries can choose to learn fully remotely or at any of ALX Africa’s hubs in Johannesburg, Accra, Lagos, Casablanca, Addis Ababa, Nairobi, Kigali and Cairo.

 

Commenting on the partnership, celebrated educator and entrepreneur Fred Swaniker, Founder of ALX Africa, said: “In today’s world of AI and Big Data, young people need to be prepared for uncertainty; they need to be agile and adaptable. ALX’s tech programmes have been built around our belief in the importance of reimagining and redesigning skills training to meet the challenges and opportunities of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Through our collaboration with Patoranking Foundation, we hope to empower tomorrow’s tech disruptors and innovative community leaders with the most in-demand hard and soft skills to solve the problems of the continent and beyond.”

 

Patoranking continues to leverage his influence to nurture Africa’s entrepreneurial passion, ready to accelerate transformative change to the nations and the continent. By selecting resilient and innovative community changemakers for the tech scholarships, the Patoranking Foundation is equipping Africa’s young leaders with much needed digital skills to scale local impact and providing them with useful connections for collaborations. Through its concerted efforts, the Foundation hopes to create a ripple effect of change, empowering the youth to become architects of their own futures and catalysts for progress within their communities.

British Council (SoCreative E-learning Programme) partners TGMA

Organizers of the annual Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA) have announced their partnership with the British Council’s SoCreative E-Learning Initiative, a collaboration that seeks to augment the support for upcoming artistes with a special focus on the Unsung Category.

The SoCreative E-learning programme aims to equip artistes and music business professionals with Creative Enterprise business skills. The programme delivers a collection of free courses for the next generation of aspiring and early-stage young African creative leaders in the music industry amongst others, to support them through their business journey.

The programme doesn’t just equip creatives with business skills, it also provides comprehensive training in various aspects of creative entrepreneurship which includes business planning, marketing, intellectual property rights, and more.

This free and self-paced programme is curated by Henley Business School, University of the Arts (London), Afrinolly, and Belle & CO. There are six modules that are designed to empower creatives and business professionals which come with a certificate after each module completion. Participation in the programme opens you up to British Council’s opportunities across SSA (Sub-Saharan Africa) and the UK.

According to Paul Akrofie (Project Lead SSA) of the SoCreative E-learning Programme, this partnership is necessary to give creative entrepreneurs such as up-and-coming musicians the opportunity to face the myriad of challenges that hinder their growth and potential in the music industry.

In the words of Robert Klah, Head of Public Events & Communications at Charterhouse, this partnership will not just help give a springboard to the next generation of artistes, it will also help develop professionals who are business savvy. Since Ghana does not have a music business school, the SoCreative E-learning is a valuable intervention. Anyone seeking to play creatively and professionally within the music business space should embrace this initiative.

Indeed, this collaboration is great news for the music business in Ghana, and all are encouraged to be part of this great and rewarding experience.

The 25th Telecel Ghana Music Awards is produced by Charterhouse, with support from TV3, Guinness Ghana, Close Up, British Council and proudly brought to you by Telecel. For more information and on-the-go-news, connect with Ghana Music Awards on all socials or visit www.ghanamusicawards.com

Tekno Joins Mr Eazi’s emPawa Africa as Investor and Partner, Releases New Single/Video “Wayo”

Afrobeats icon TEKNO has formed a groundbreaking new joint venture between his Cartel Music label and emPawa Africa, ushering in this new musical era with “Wayo,” his first single of 2024. The deal sees Tekno joining emPawa Africa, the innovative independent music company founded by Mr Eazi, as an investor and partner.

Written and produced by Tekno and Grammy-nominated hitmaker ShugaVybz, “Wayo” is driven by infectious percussion, hypnotic synths, and lush guitar arrangements, and held together by Tekno’s enchanting vocal performance and captivating storytelling. “Wayo” — which means to “scam” or deceive someone in Nigerian slang — sees Tekno reassuring his lover of his pure intentions and undying devotion to her, making sure to let her know, “I no come do wayo.

The glorious new offering also comes with a cinematic music video set against the vibrant city of Lagos, and starring Tekno and Nollywood sensation Uzoamaka Aniunoh as a couple navigating the highs and lows of their relationship.

Watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8gocOXyKis. 

Directed by Forbes 30 Under 30 filmmaker Dammy Twitch, who has also worked with the likes of Davido, Yung Bleu, and DaBaby, the “Wayo” music video brings to life a heartfelt narrative of love, resilience, and forgiveness, beautifully complementing the song’s resonant lyrics and rhythm. Taking viewers on a vivid journey through the bustling streets of Lagos Island, the video captures the essence of the city’s pulsating spirit and dating culture, with the visuals emphasizing the themes of love and forgiveness, showing how Tekno and his lover overcome their relationship challenges.

The game-changing collaboration between Tekno and emPawa Africa will see Tekno’s Cartel Music imprint releasing some exciting new music via emPawa Africa, with Tekno set to become an investor in emPawa in its next capital call round. He joins Grammy-winning music producer Michaël Brun among those who have invested in the innovative, African-owned label services company founded by Mr Eazi in 2018. emPawa Africa has been at the forefront of discovering and nurturing emerging talent across the African continent, providing budding artists with the resources, training, and tools necessary for global success, working with artists such as Joeboy, Major League DJz, Fave, King Promise, Minz and DJ Neptune, among others.

“With this deal with Tekno and Cartel Music, we are ushering in a new phase of emPawa,” Mr Eazi says. “This phase will see us partnering with African artists at different stages of their careers who want to maintain financial and creative freedom, yet move from talent for hire to equity participation. It’s a first-of-its-kind deal for afrobeats.”

“This strategic alliance with Empawa promises to be a game-changer for the African music industry and a beacon of opportunity for artists,” adds Tekno. “We look forward to seeing how this partnership will catalyze the growth of emPawa Africa, its artists, and the broader African music ecosystem.”

ABOUT TEKNO

With over 2.5 billion streams and over 20 million social media followers, award-winning Nigerian artist, songwriter, and producer Tekno is one of African music’s most crucial voices. Since 2015, Tekno has consistently captivated global audiences with essential afropop classics including “Duro,” “Pana” and “Skeletun,” earning critical acclaim from tastemakers such as Billboard and Rolling Stone, as well as high praise from international stars like Drake and Sir Elton John, with Billie Eilish even declaring Tekno as her “favorite artist ever.” Tekno has also collaborated with pop royalty including Ciara and Beyoncé.

Tekno‘s prowess extends beyond his vocal talents, as his production and songwriting skills have significantly shaped the rise of afrobeats worldwide. He penned and produced Davido‘s global hit “If” and “Won’t Be Late” by Swae Lee and Drake, both of which achieved RIAA Gold certification. Kizz Daniel’s “Buga,” which Tekno co-wrote and is a featured vocalist on, was the most streamed afrobeats track of 2022, hitting No. 1 worldwide on Shazam. His impressive list of achievements includes an MTV Africa Music Award, and two Headies Awards (Nigeria’s GRAMMY equivalent), as well as a BET Award nomination. In 2023, his infectious hit single “Enjoy” was featured as the closing song in a Season 3 episode of the hit Apple TV series Ted Lasso. His latest album is 2023’s The More The Better.
