It all started two years ago in fulfillment of her dream and since then, there has been no turning back.
Through her Tina Reports on YouTube, she tells the untold stories in rural Ghana, and for the past two years, she has told compelling stories in rural areas that were seemingly totally forgotten.
For years, Ernestina Muulikaa, has facilitated social change, developmentand impacted many lives.Also, extending a hand to the less privileged and marginalised in society as a core value.
Sharing her story with The Spectator, she said “I feel proud of myself, without partnership or support, I have applied whatever I learnt as Development Communication student to pursue my dreams of impacting the downtrodden positively.”
According to her, on Ocotber 16, 2019, she woke up one day and told her cousin, a cameraman, to follow her to the Northern Region, after she had recuperated from a terrible accident.
By so doing, she decided to put spotlight on those pitiable condition and serve them to the best of her ability, ie to serve humanity.

She is a Dagao (Dagarti), who hails from Upper West Region, her mother, Madam Jacqueline Muulikaa, a trader hails from Jirapa, and her father, Mr.John Muulikaa a former Principal Accountant at St.Elizabeth Catholic Hospital at Hwediem, is a native of Lawra.

She has donated relief items including food and clothing to 488 alleged witches and wizards at Tendan witches camp, a family suffering from a strange disease at Kawu in Upper West, relief items to flood victims, and continues to supoort many people.
Challenges
According to her, some of the villages are hard to reach, as a result, they have to walk miles to reach various communities.
She has listed lack of fiancial support, language barriers, mode of transportation, potable water and network among others as factors impeding her work.
Recounting one difficult moment, she said that they were in the middle of their journey and unfortunately run out of water, and had to drink from a stream which was not wholesome.
“When you get the report to those in authority, most of the times nothing is done about it and it’s frustrating,” she said.
Regardless of these challenges, Tina Muulikaa says, the love for humanity, and looking back at Ahafo Hwidiem where she was born and raised, motivates her to do more.
Future
Though there had been times she wanted to give up as a result of frustation, she is looking at how to increase the base of her team and bring more people to light.
She has called on corporate Ghana to come on board to help Tina Report achieve its aim.
Tina Muulikaa encouraged people to get onto her channel, watch the stories and support some of the deprived communites and urged those who were well to do to organise themselves and go back to their villages to help eradicate the hardship others are facing.
Leisure
Tina who fellowships with the Holy Spirit Catholic Church in Accra and loves Tuo Zaafi, fufu and Tubaani, listens to music and watches YouTube videos at her leisure time.

The professor who spends his days exploring the intricacies of African languages found himself at the centre of a different kind of lesson on Friday, October 2, 2026. 
This time, there were no lecture notes, academic arguments or university classrooms. Instead, there was the weight of tradition, the rhythm of a community celebration and the solemnity of an oath at a royal palace.
Professor Ọbádélé Kambon, a full Professor of African Linguistics at the University of Ghana, was enstooled as Apagyahene and Sunsum Ɔsahene of Akuapem Mampong in the Eastern Region in a ceremony that brought academia and traditional authority together.
For the professor, the occasion was more than a new title. It was a moment that connected his academic interests in African languages and indigenous knowledge with the living traditions of an Akan community.
The day’s events unfolded through a series of customary observances. Kambon was first taken to the compounds of the Ɔkyeamehene and Gyasehene, where the preparations for his installation continued.
Then came the application of hyire, the white kaolin powder associated with traditional rites.
With the customary proceedings underway, the new chief was lifted onto the shoulders of celebrants and carried along the main thoroughfare of Akuapem Mampong.
The procession transformed the streets into a public stage for a ceremony rooted in the community’s traditional institutions.
There was something striking about the image, a university professor, accustomed to the measured language of academic discourse, being carried through the town in a display of traditional recognition.
Yet the celebration was not complete with the procession.
A ram was sacrificed at the Mamponghene’s compound before Kambon was taken to the palace, to swear the oath associated with his new offices.
The ceremony brought him formally into his roles as Apagyahene and Sunsum Ɔsahene.
Beyond the colourful proceedings, the titles themselves carry layers of historical meaning.
Kambon in his research explores the historical connections between Apagya and Akan political and military organisation.
Accounts cited in his work linked Apagya to an asafo, or military company, while historical writing traces an Apagya stool in Asante to the reign of Opoku Ware I in the eighteenth century.
These historical associations offer a glimpse into the institutions that have shaped Akan society over generations, although they do not automatically define the precise responsibilities of the office in Akuapem Mampong.
Kambon’s own professional life reflects a similar interest in preserving and examining African knowledge.
His work encompasses Akan language structure, naming practices across the Black world, proverbs and indigenous intellectual traditions.
Through Abibitumi, the platform he founded, he also promotes language learning, scholarship and cultural engagement.
But tradition was only one part of the story that day.
When the formal ceremony gave way to a reception, the occasion expanded into a celebration of three milestones: Kambon’s enstoolment, his promotion to full professor and his daughter Ama’s admission to the University of Ghana.
The gathering therefore carried a personal significance that went beyond the honours bestowed on one man. 
It celebrated professional advancement, the continuation of family aspirations and a connection to cultural heritage.
For a father, seeing a daughter gain admission to the same university where he holds a distinguished academic position offered another reason to celebrate.
For the professor, the moment placed family achievement alongside his own professional and traditional milestones.
Kambon had already established a place in the traditional life of Akuapem Mampɔn through an earlier installation as Banmuhene Kyidɔmhene, recorded in 2017.
His latest enstoolment adds another chapter to that relationship.
In Akuapem Mampɔn, the day brought together the university, the palace and the family table in one celebration. And for Kambon, the journey from the lecture room to the traditional procession showed how scholarship, cultural responsibility and family achievement could converge in a single memorable occasion.
