Nhyiraba Adu Minka releases ‘Megyae Mu’ album
Gospel artiste, Nhyiraba Adu Minka, has released ‘Megyae Mu’ (I Surrender), an eight- track album featuring Pastor Adom Chris and Minister Solomon Avoole.
According to him, he had the inspiration during one of his military exercises at Yakima, Wa, in the Upper West Region.
“Megyae Mu humbles the arrogant, helps the helpless, gives hope to the hopeless, gives faith to the faithless and gives health to the hurt as one surrenders wholeheartedly to the all-embracing God through the reggae fashion/mid-tempo instrumentation to the spirit-filled lyrics.”
The tracks include Bɔne biara mayɛ, Asɛm biara maka oo, Nneɛma bi a mereyɛ, Daddy ei megyae mu ma wo, Pepa me mmerato yi and Pepa m’amumuyɔ yi.
Listening to “Megyae Mu” is a rise “above the noise and a refreshing water to a panting deer. The divine inspiration behind it makes it defy languages to speak to every listening soul”.
Nhyiraba Adu Minka, who described himself as an agent of transformation, stated that the world was at its wits end due to COVID-19 and has no other option but to surrender to the Maker for restoration.

Sparqlyn reminisces as he congratulates Shatta Wale for winning two awards at 43rd IRAWMA
Ghanaian musician and former member of musicial gorup, Dunsin, Ahmmed Kanneh Larweh, popularly known as Sparqlyn, has congratulated Ghanaian music heavyweight, Shatta Wale following his impressive double victory at the International Reggae and World Music Awards.
Shatta Wale recently made headlines after winning two major awards at the prestigious event held in Florida, USA, securing Best African Dancehall Entertainer and Concert of the Year for ShattaFest.
Reacting to the achievement, Sparqlyn could not hide his excitement after sighting news of the awards on Monday, May 18, 2025.
According to him, the one thing that caught his attention was the plaque presented to Shatta Wale. He noted that the design looked strikingly similar to the one Dunsin received when they won at the MUSA Awards over a decade ago.
The resemblance, especially the upper part of the plaque, instantly brought back memories of his former group’s historic moment on the African stage 13 years ago when the group represented Ghana proudly in South Africa.
It will be recalled that back in 2013, Dunsin achieved international recognition after winning Most Exciting Group in Africa and Most African Video at the MUSA Awards held in Pretoria, South Africa. The awards came on the back of their global hit project “Ɔyɛadeɛyie,” a song that helped elevate the group’s profile beyond Ghana.
At the time, Sparqlyn, then known by many as Kele within the group, was the one who represented Dunsin at the event to pick up the award.
Ghanaian dancehall artiste Charles Nii Armah Mensah, known as Shatta Wale, has won two awards at the 43rd International Reggae and World Music Awards (IRAWMA) held in Florida over the weekend.
He picked up the Best African Dancehall Entertainer award as well as Concert of the Year for ShattaFest.
In a statement, Shatta Wale’s management expressed appreciation to the organisers and supporters of the awards.
“Management would like to sincerely appreciate the organisers of the IRAWMA awards for the recognition and continuous support for African music on the global stage.
“We also extend our deepest gratitude to fans across the world, especially the Shatta Movement fraternity, for their unwavering support, votes, and dedication throughout the years,” the statement said.
The statement added that the latest wins reaffirm the artiste’s position as one of Africa’s leading musical exports and a prominent figure in global dancehall culture.
The awards bring Shatta Wale’s total haul at the IRAWMA to 11, highlighting his continued presence on the international reggae and dancehall scene.
At last year’s edition, he won three awards: Best African Dancehall Entertainer, Best Music Video for “Killa Ji Mi”, and Best Crossover Song for “Commando” featuring Bounty Killer. -GNA
