Ebel Mettle
Budding Ghanaian gospel sensation, Ebel Mettle stormed his alma mater, Akro Senior High Technical School at Odumasi in the Eastern Region to entertain students with some great musical performances as part of his school tour series.
The event which attracted a huge audience including students, staff and other performers saw Mettle perform his very popular ‘Qodesh,’ ‘Blessing ‘and other songs which kept the crowd on their feet throughout the show.
The tour began at the North Legon Youth Fire Explosion before moving to the Eastern Region for what he described as a ‘mega showdown.’
The talented songwriter and singer, real name Ebenezer Mettle Lanyo told The Spectator that, the reason for touring schools across the country was to share his experience with the younger ones.
“I have been through a lot as a child but managed to go through and currently doing well for myself,” he said.
The 21-year-old said his ministry would be used to ‘strengthen’ people and give them reasons to move beyond their challenges.
Most importantly, he said it would let them realise that ‘suicide is not an option’ as one must not take their lives due to challenges of life.
He said, he would soon release a 10-track album which would take the gospel industry by storm with inspiring and powerful songs.
The Accra Technical University (ATU) student said, he was working towards contributing to the gospel music industry in Ghana and the world at large.
Ultimately, he said, it was important for gospel artistes to collaborate and win more souls for Christ especially in the midst of the current economic challenges which was making people lose hope in life.

It was a night of intellect, eloquence and culture as contestants of the 2026 Miss Tourism Ghana took centre stage at the Coconut Grove Regency Hotel for the Debate and Culture Night last Saturday.
The event, which forms part of activities leading up to the grand finale, saw the ladies move beyond beauty to battle with ideas, facts and opinions on a topic critical to the tourism industry.
The contestants debated the topic: The Importance of Traditional and Digital Media on Promotion of Tourism.
For the debate, the contestants were grouped into two teams of four, each tasked with defending a side of the argument.
It was a fierce but respectful exchange. The team arguing for traditional media described it as the trust builder, emphasising its credibility, mass reach, and its power to tell in-depth, emotional stories through television documentaries, radio and newspaper features.
They argued that traditional media still shapes public opinion and influences policy decisions in the tourism sector.
On the other side, the proponents of digital media raised salient points about its unmatched advantages in the modern era.
They highlighted its global reach at low cost, its two-way interaction that allows tourists to share real experiences and reviews, its ability to target specific audiences, and its measurable results where clicks, views and bookings can be tracked.
After heated arguments and rebuttals, both teams arrived at a powerful consensus that drew applause from the audience.
They concluded that without traditional media, tourism promotion lacks credibility and depth, and without digital media, it lacks reach, engagement and sales.
The judges and patrons agreed that the debate underscored a crucial lesson for Ghana’s tourism drive: for a country blessed with rich cultural heritage, colourful festivals, historic forts and castles, diverse wildlife and pristine beaches, the winning formula lies in combining the storytelling power of traditional media with the viral power of digital media to attract both domestic and international tourists.
The night was not only about debate, as the contestants also dazzled in cultural wear, showcasing the beauty and diversity of Ghanaian culture.
