Host of TV3 New Day show, Johnnie Hughes has sent a bold message to all public sector workers who have attained their retiring age but still at various offices enjoying ‘cookies’.
Speaking on Johnnie’s Bite show this morning, Johnnie Hughes made it clear that he has a lot of documents and pictures to expose some public sector workers who have attained 60 years and still at work. He promised to expose them soon if they don’t vacate their offices. Johnnie Hughes gave them four days to think about this because he is ready to show their pictures on TV3 and shame them.
Johnnie Hughes believes that these workers have served the country well and it is time for them to go home and rest. Staying at work literary means increasing the unemployment rate in the country.
“If you are a retiree and you are still larking around the place and you know you have gone on retirement, hand over peacefully and go because we will mention your name and put your picture up. Follow the examples of these senior citizens. Please go so that the young people can get jobs to do. I beg you. If not, there will be no mercy for anybody. I will mention your names and I will put your picture up there.”
“It is the teachers who send me these pictures. I don’t go looking for them. I am sending notice to all the regions that anyone who has retired and still at the office, kindly go. You have served our country well and I don’t want to be the one to be doing that. You have four days in this week and if you are still there next week, I will expose you” he said
He also sent strong message to the President and urged him to stop extending the contracts of these persons. This is because, several young graduates are in the country who are well qualified to do what the retirees are doing.
He showed some pictures of public sector workers who retired when they attained the age of 60. Below are some pictures.
He urged other workers to learn from these two individuals who followed the law and retired as soon as they attained 60 years.

The issue of unemployment is a major problem in the country. Many public sector workers have reduced their ages with the hope of staying at work for a long time. This has prevented the youths from getting vacancies in various work places.

Ghanaian film ‘Eco Reach We All’ secures world premiere at 79th Locarno Film Festival

After years of development, funding, and creative grit, Ghanaian feature film “Ego Reach We All” has earned an official nomination to make its world premiere at the 79th Locarno Film Festival in Switzerland this month.
Formerly titled Vagabonds, the 105-minute drama was written and directed by Amartei Armar and produced by Yemoh Ike.
It marks one of the biggest international breakthroughs for Ghanaian cinema in recent years.
The film was shot entirely in Ghana with a Ghanaian cast and crew, grounding it in authentic local culture.
Post-production was completed in France, a collaboration that Director Amartei Armar says reflects the film’s spirit, “A Ghanaian story told with the world.”
The journey began in 2018 when the short film version won at the Montreal World Film Festival, an Oscar-qualifying event.
From there, ‘Ego Reach We All’ grew into a full-length feature backed by some of the most respected names in global film development: Winner – Cannes Focus CoPro, Recipient – Red Sea Development Fund, Honoree – Red Sea Souk Award and Backed by – Red Sea Productions Fund.
Industry watchers have called it one of the most promising African film projects to emerge in the last decade.
Beyond awards, the project was shaped in top international labs.
Armar was selected for the Heyazah Screening Lab in Doha, Qatar, to refine the film’s narrative.
Producer, Yemoh Ike joined the prestigious, 2023 EAVE Producers Programme under a CNC scholarship, with training sessions in Luxembourg, Austria, and the Netherlands.
Most recently, the film was chosen for the 2025 Atlas Workshop in Marrakesh, Morocco, cementing its place in global cinema circles.
Casts include, Idrissu Tontie, Dorothy Adobea Tandoh, Emmanuel Wilberforce, Barbara Yong Jin, Emmanuel Owusu Ofori, O’Bryan Kwame Enyan, Gabriel Narh Addo, Nelly Bilson, and Kwame Brenya.
For the team, Locarno is not just a festival slot. It’s validation that Ghanaian stories, told by Ghanaians, can compete on the world’s most respected stages.
“Principal photography was done entirely by Ghanaian creatives,” the producers noted.
