SARKODIE AND HIS DAUGHTER TITI JOIN THE PEPSODENT #BRUSHWITH ME CHALLENGE
Many Ghanaian celebrities took to social media to commend Pepsodent Ghana after it recently launched #Brushwithme campaign to commemorate World Oral Health Day.
The campaign is part of Pepsodent Ghana’s efforts to educate and challenge parents and guardians to teach their children good oral health practices by setting the example of brushing their teeth together day and night.
Ghanaian music heavyweight, Sarkodie posted a video on Twitter and Instagram to show the world that indeed he takes the matter of brushing with his daughter Titi day and night seriously.
In the video, one could see Sarkodie being the doting father that he is, having a cute moment with his daughter as they bonded over the simple act of brushing their teeth.
Fans could not hold back their excitement as the video went viral and many followers attested to being influenced by the video to join the #Brushwithme challenge.
According to Pepsodent Ghana this campaign came to be after a new global research conducted showed that the global pandemic had caused a major disruption in oral care routines, especially in children.
Although health and wellbeing had been reprioritized, three out of four people focused only on their physical and mental wellbeing, with many families neglecting oral health habits.
With an influential person such as Sarkodie joining the #Brushwithme train to enforce good oral habits in his home and family, it is safe to say that Pepsodent Ghana’s campaign is producing the much-needed results.

Mahama promises more jobs and support for Zongo communities
President of the republic of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama has assured Muslim leaders that his government will continue to do everything possible to improve the economy and create jobs for the youth.
Speaking to a gathering of imams, Mr. Mahama emphasised the government’s main focus in education was to expand technical and vocational training so that young people could gain the skills they need to work and support themselves.
He added that special attention would be given to Muslim communities to ensure they benefit from the rollout of new training centres.
He mentioned that programmes such as Ajumawura, which offers small loans to start businesses, and the National Apprenticeship Programme, which helps especially young women to learn trades like dressmaking, would also help the youth to build a future for themselves.
On support for Zongo communities, Mr. Mahama said a coordinator and deputy had been appointed to lead the Zongo Development Fund.
He announced that they would soon begin work on a microcredit scheme called the Soya Fund.
The fund, he explained, would provide small loans to poor households in Zongo communities, especially women engaged in small-scale businesses such as selling waakye, cocoa, or running small shops.
He said artisans like dressmakers would also benefit.
The president thanked the imams for their continuous prayers for Ghana, saying their intercession had helped the country remain one of the most peaceful nations in Africa.
