Miss Ghana UK 2025 slated for October 18 in London
The much anticipated Miss Ghana UK (MGUK) beauty pageant is back with a banger.
All roads lead to the Dominion Centre, Wood Green, London on Saturday, October 18, 2025 for the grand finale of the event under the theme: ‘Cocoa: Past, Present & Future -The Role of Women.’
On the night, 10 young women of Ghanaian descent will step onto the stage to compete for the coveted Miss Ghana UK crown and a once in a lifetime opportunity to become an ambassador to champion our rich heritage, community development as well as women empowerment and leadership.
Over 30 years, Miss Ghana UK has been more than just a beauty pageant, rather, a celebration of identity, strength, and legacy.
As the longest running Black and Ethnic Minority pageant in the United Kingdom, MGUK has grown into an institution that uplifts Ghanaian heritage and amplifies Ghana’s cultural brilliance on a global stage.
In the midst of the pomp and pageantry the night is synonymous for, there will be a display of elegant gowns and traditional African wear sponsored by GTP Ghana with Quophi Akotuah and Limels London billed to deliver unforgettable performances.
There will also be thought-provoking interviews, which equips the contestant to embrace their roots, express their voices, and carry forward the values of their ancestors.
According to MGUK Directors, Mavis Osei and Cilla Baafour-Gyewu, this theme is deeply personal.
Both women descended from cocoa farming families in Ahafo and Techiman, where the land sustained survival and shaped futures. Now, through Miss Ghana UK, they are preserving that heritage, honouring the women behind it, and reimagining its possibilities for generations to come.
MGUK 2025 is sponsored by GTP (Ghana), Quophi Akokuah – Ghana, JL Properties, Grassfields , Limels London, Gina’s Blooming scent, BRSK!N, Eclat Hair, Blue Rose Limited (Ghana), Cyn Afrik, On Point Properties, Taekwon Security, TSF, Koppan Hospitality, and UKGH Heritage.

Ghanaian musician Sparqlyn is set to release another big hit.
His latest release, ‘Rosina,’ features Germany-based Ghanaian musician, video director, and sound engineer TEENO (known privately as Eric Kwame Tamakloe).
TEENO’s project ‘Signs’ was recently accepted by the Grammys for official consideration in the ‘Album of the Year’ category. Now, ‘Rosina’ is making serious waves across the airwaves.
Coming shortly after the impressive reception to his previous single ‘Fameko,’ ‘Rosina’ is already receiving strong attention from music lovers and radio listeners.
This new song carries an infectious Afrobeats and Hiplife feel while maintaining the romantic direction that characterised ‘Fameko,’ Sparqlyn’s 2026 Highlife collaboration with Ziya.
‘Fameko’ marked an important moment in Sparqlyn’s musical journey, with the love-themed highlife record receiving positive reactions from music lovers and media platforms following its June 2026 release.
The song became one of the highlights of his 2026 output, ranking high on multiple charts.
‘Fameko’ has also bagged Sparqlyn two top nominations: “Highlife Song of the Year” and “Artist of the Year” at the 2026 Stars Awards.
The combination of a romantic storyline, Afrobeats rhythm, and Hiplife influence give the song a sound that fits comfortably into the current Ghanaian music landscape.
The timing of the song’s release could also prove significant for the award-winning artiste. Sparqlyn recently secured two nominations at the 2026 Ghana Youth Empowerment Awards, where he is in contention for Youth Empowerment Advocate of the Year and Outstanding Youth Personality of the Year.
With ‘Fameko’ having established strong momentum earlier in the year and ‘Rosina’ now beginning to enjoy significant airplay, Sparqlyn appears to be ending another eventful chapter of his musical career on a high note.

Ghanaian highlife and Afrobeats singer Kuami Eugene Marfo known in showbiz circles as Kuami Eugene has urged fellow musicians and entertainers to use their influence on social media and other platforms to champion causes that positively impact society.
The award-winning artiste made the call during a UNICEF Ghana birth registration advocacy campaign in Bepoase in the Ayensuano District of the Eastern Region, where he joined officials from UNICEF Ghana and the Births and Deaths Registry to raise awareness about the importance of registering children at birth.
He explained that artistes wield significant influence and should leverage platforms such as TikTok, Facebook and Instagram to amplify important social initiatives and encourage behavioural change.
The musician, who has partnered UNICEF Ghana on several child-focused campaigns, said he had a special interest in issues affecting children and was committed to supporting efforts that improved their welfare and future opportunities.
He noted that birth registration was critical because it established a child’s legal identity and ensured recognition as a Ghanaian citizen.
The advocacy drive forms part of UNICEF Ghana’s efforts to improve birth registration rates across the country through community engagements, public education and collaboration with traditional authorities.
The musician said he remained focused on creating quality music while continuing to support social causes that contribute to national development, particularly initiatives aimed at improving the lives of children. –GNA
