‘Hey Diamond’ to shape dreams of young ladies -Adiza Ibrahim
After six years of research and compilation of personal experiences among others, entrepreneur and Head of Media Relations and Marketing at Electroland Ghana, Adiza Ibrahim, has launched her book titled ‘Hey Diamond.’
The book has 17 chapters spread across 179 pages and aims to help shape young ladies who aspire to climb to the top.
Speaking at the launch last Friday, Adiza Ibrahim, who is also the founder of the Zongo Women Livelihood & Empowerment Programme, said young ladies need to be intentional about their quest to succeed in life.
Adiza Ibrahim said all women are diamonds and should note that dreams and aspirations are too hard to achieve, therefore, one needs to be intentional.
She stressed that after several years of engagement and entrepreneurship, she had always believed that the truth must lead, and the only way to speak to people’s conscience is to be truthful to them.
Making reference to her journey, Ms Ibrahim noted that she made use of opportunities that came her way and prepared herself adequately for it all the time.
Against this backdrop, she urged young ladies to be ready and capable of delivering when they are called upon.
The philanthropist said that even though she came from a privileged home, she was intentional about her life and journey to succeed in life on her own.
She further stressed that “you have to be intentional to have a goal, you have to be intentional to be passionate about the goal and be determined to achieve it to its full success.”
“You’ve got to be intentional not to tow the lane that is not good; if I had led a wayward life the one you see on Tiktok or snap chat, I wouldn’t have been here speaking to you,” she added.
She concluded that achieving success does not happen in a vacuum and that a lot of work must go into it, “It is about intentionality, I’m where I am because I have always been intentional.”
The book is available in leading book shops and Amazon

Kwame Nsiah Apau, widely known as Okyeame Kwame, and the Rap Dacta, celebrated his 50th birthday with the release of a rhythmic reggae tune titled “Clap.”
The song shines a spotlight on applauding those making remarkable contributions to society and encourages people to celebrate the successes of their friends and family.
Just a week after its release, “Clap” has garnered widespread positive reactions from influencers across Ghana, Jamaica, America, South Africa, and other parts of the world.
In one of the reaction videos shared by Okyeame Kwame, renowned entrepreneur and philanthropist Richard Nii Armah Quaye, aka RNAQ, expressed his admiration, saying, “Love this song and the lyrics. I want to support its promotion with GHC 100,000. Well done.”
Okyeame Kwame, who had previously promised to build a Paediatric Emergency Ward at Manhyia Hospital in Kumasi before his birthday, would certainly benefit from this generous support for such a meaningful project.
His 50th birthday celebration was a successful all-white event held at +233 Pub and Grill, featuring amazing performances that added to the memorable occasion.
