Daniel Anyetei retires after four decades of service to New Times Corporation
Perfect gentleman, Uncle Dan
It was a moment of mixed feelings for staff of the New Times Corporation (NTC), publishers of the Ghanaian Times and The Spectator newspapers on Wednesday as they held a send-off for one of the oldest staff, Mr. Daniel Anyetei as he proceeds on retirement.
It marked an end to over 40 years of dedicated service to the Corporation.
Affectionately called Uncle Dan, Mr Anyetei who headed the Design Department prior to his retirement, joined the Corporation on December 2, 1980.
At the send-off ceremony organised by the Design Section, Management of NTC praised Uncle Dan for his outstanding service over the years.
The Managing Director (MD) of NTC, Mr Martin Kwaku Adu-Owusu described Uncle Dan as a perfect gentleman who has left a huge vacuum in his department and the Corporation as a whole.
“We would miss such a great personality who was dedicated to the progress of the Corporation. He led by example and the young ones must learn from him,” he stated.
On his part, the Editor of the Ghanaian Times, Mr David Agbenu said he was sad that Uncle Dan was leaving since there was no one to replace him for his level of commitment and dedication to duty.
“He was always punctual and never complained when given an assignment even when it is late. He was always ready to serve,” he stated.
The Acting Editor of The Spectator, Mrs Georgina Naa-Maku Quaittoo also described Uncle Dan as a gentleman who always dressed very well aside performing his duties with a high degree of devotion.
In his remarks, Uncle Dan said leaving the Corporation at this period was difficult having had very good and bad times within the period.
He narrated how they navigated from the manual days of designing to the generation of computers and the period of very smart machines.
He urged Management and Staff to continue working hard to position NTC as a very formidable organisation.
“I wish everyone the best and pray for God’s protection and Grace over the Corporation. It is not easy to say goodbye but we must all move on at some point,” he added.

”99% of prophecies in Ghana are most likely designed to extort money from unsuspecting victims” – Mussa Dankwah
Executive Director and Head of Global Research at Global InfoAnalytics, Ghana, Mussa K. Dankwah, has alleged that the majority of prophecies in the country are schemes to take money from people.
He claimed that 99% of such prophecies are targeted at powerful and wealthy individuals, especially those in politics, rather than ordinary citizens.
“They target the most powerful, the rich, and the political class. Ordinary people do not feature in their prophecies”
We should not fall for it. If they are genuine, they will pray over it hoping that God will avert it. But we are told in the Quran that what is written is written and what is not written can never happen. The Bible does not dispute this” Mr Dankwah said.
In a Facebook post, he urged Ghanaians to be vigilant and not become victims of deceptive religious practices.
“Don’t be a victim, biɛ wa ni fiii,” he warned, stressing that if a prophecy is truly from God, it should be handled with prayer and not used as a tool for financial gain.
