Having a business plan is crucial to know where your business is headed – Marcus Blandin
It is true that you can become anyone you want to become. The world is an ocean of possibilities that you need to dive in to rise to success.
This is Marcus Blandin’s mantra for success. Blandin had humble beginnings but went on to create massive wealth in his life thus far.
He came from a modest home where he was just a young child dreaming what his future entails.
His dreams inspired him to begin his entrepreneurial journey at a young age, and from there, the sky was the limit. One of the things that Marcus believes in is not letting your situation define you or your future.
If everyone would let where they come from dictate the rest of their lives, the world would be a very dull place. Marcus hopes that more people realize that the best thing about the world is that you get opportunities to succeed wherever you are irrespective of your current situation. Becoming a wealth coach is his way of helping people realize their dreams. Dreams they may have put aside for the time being to put food on the table.
Through his coaching sessions and digital courses, Marcus educates people on methods to build wealth and become successful. He is passionate about giving back to society and having come from a humble beginning himself, he understands well how challenging it is to climb the success ladder.

Marcus believes that empowering more people to become successful will make the world a much better place for everyone and the coming generations. Financial literacy is increasingly important in the current scenario, and we need more people to walk in the footsteps of Marcus Blandin.
National Democratic Congress (NDC) National Executive Committee member and Volta River Authority (VRA) Board Member, Wonder Victor Kutor, has described calls for the resignation of Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa as premature and unjustified.
He argued that there was no evidence to establish that the minister had committed any wrongdoing to warrant such demands.
Speaking on Joy News in Accra on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, Mr Kutor questioned what had changed to justify the growing calls for the minister to step down.
He recalled that the Ranking Member on Parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee, Samuel Abu Jinapor, had earlier indicated that the opposition was not accusing Mr Ablakwa of any wrongdoing.
Mr Kutor, therefore, challenged those demanding the minister’s resignation to provide fresh evidence to support their position.
“The call for the Minister to resign is premature, it is untenable. There is no evidence. I mean, what has he done wrong?” he questioned.
He added that documents, including boarding passes, airline receipts and flight manifests relating to the minister’s return journey, had been provided.
Mr Kutor expressed concern that the calls for Mr Ablakwa’s resignation could discourage young politicians from speaking out against corruption and advocating transparency.
According to him, politicians should not be targeted or maligned for demanding accountability, warning that such treatment could create the impression that speaking against corruption could later become a liability when one is appointed to public office.
He maintained that calling for accountability and transparency should not be used as grounds to target public officials without evidence of wrongdoing.
