#WaakyeLivesMatter: This Waakye in a jar has sparked a social media campaign in Ghana
Talking about Waakye makes Ghanaians feel all sorts of ways.
It is one dish that does not have a war with any other country as Jollof does. When a post is made about Jollof, Nigerians and Senegalese creep in. Waakye has been standalone.
The Ghanaian delicacy is also one of the few foods that have stood the test of time with its ‘ahaban’ (leaf) packaging in a time where most foods have succumbed to the pressure of plastics.
When folks in Ghana saw their love of a food trapped in a jar, the gorgeous new look of their favourite dish did not deter them from trying to save almighty Waakye.
From puns to amazingly humorous comments, the trend ended in a campaign to save Waakye because #WaakyeLivesMatter. Following the theme of the popular #BlackLivesMatter (and a very serious campaign that is), here are some comments around saving Waakye in Ghana.

IN the grand halls of Ghana’s political stage, Vice President Jane Naana Opoku Agyemang has redefined what it means to dress for leadership.
Her fashion is not mere adornment, it is a deliberate statement of heritage, authority, and modern elegance.
At her swearing-in ceremony, she captivated the nation in an outfit designed by Ghanaian fashion icon Joyce Ababio. The ensemble was more than fabric; it was a tapestry of creativity, national pride, and symbolism.
By choosing a local designer, she underscored her commitment to Ghanaian artistry and the power of Made-in-Ghana fashion.
Her style identity blends regal African prints with tailored sophistication — flowing Kente-inspired gowns, structured jackets, and carefully chosen accessories to create a balance between authority and femininity.
Each outfit speaks a language of cultural pride, reminding the world that leadership can be both powerful and beautifully Ghanaian.
For young women watching, her fashion is aspirational. It says you can lead with intellect and grace, and you can wear your culture proudly.
When it comes to fashion, gospel artiste, Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP), Kofi Sarpong, leaves no stone unturned to turn up well.

The ‘Miracle’ hitmaker steps out with bold colour choices, refined details and confidence that turns clothing into statement.
However, being vibrant in the industry over ten years, his fashion sense has always been the topic of the day.
His fashion sense are always on point.
