• Nana Serwaa Yeboah
Gospel Musician Nana Serwaa Yeboah has admonished singers in Ghana to promote decency in their craft.
According to the fast-rising singer, many youngsters easily idolize entertainers they see on television, so gospel musicians must ensure they do not present themselves in a manner which does not please God.
Nana Serwaa gave the advice in an interview with The Spectator following the release of her latest single titled, “I’m grateful.”
The new track, she said touches on the relevance of being appreciative of the blessings of God, adding that she got the inspiration to compose it because God had been very merciful to her and her loved ones.
“God has brought salvation to my home and because I am a musician sometimes when I want to praise him I put the words into writing and compose a song out of it. My God is worthy of my praise and as long as I have breath I will keep offering him the fruit of my lips,” she added.
The Musician cum evangelist revealed she currently had five songs to her credit which have been titled “medawase”, “wa y3 bi da”, “Mi hia wo”, “Ye twiri no” and her latest track “I’m grateful.”
She also stated that plans were far advanced to launch her maiden album, calling on individuals and organisations to also support rising musicians as artistes also contributed significantly to the sustenance of the creative arts industry of the country while promoting morality among their fans.
The singer, who is also a marketer advised the youth to desist from living sinful lives and called on the media to reduce the promotion of contents that corrupt good manners.

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.
