Madam Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings founded the 31st December Women’s Movement, which transformed the role of women in national development.

Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings passed away on 23 October 2025 at the Ridge Hospital in Accra, at the age of 76.

Nana Konadu Agyeman was born on 17 November 1948 in Cape Coast, in Ghana’s Central Region. She came from the Agyeman family, known for its public service and educational values. Her father, J.O.T. Agyeman, was a notable public servant, and her mother, Felicia Agyeman, was an educator.

She attended Achimota School, one of Ghana’s premier secondary schools, before pursuing higher education at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), where she studied Art and specialized in Textiles. While at KNUST, she was active in student leadership and began developing her interest in social work and advocacy.

In 1977, she married Jerry John Rawlings, a young Ghanaian Air Force officer who would later become the Head of State and subsequently the democratically elected President of Ghana. The couple had four children, including Dr. Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings, who serves as a Member of Parliament.

Nana Konadu was known for her strong personality, charisma, and partnership with her husband in public life. Even after Jerry Rawlings’ death in November 2020, she remained an influential figure in Ghanaian politics and public discourse.

As First Lady, Nana Konadu redefined the role of women in governance. She was not content to remain in a ceremonial capacity but instead became a powerful advocate for social and economic change.

She founded the 31st December Women’s Movement, an organization dedicated to promoting the welfare of women and children, literacy, health education, and entrepreneurship. Under her leadership, the movement established projects in rural development, education, and healthcare that empowered thousands of women across the country.

After her husband left office in 2001, Nana Konadu continued her involvement in politics. She played a key role within the National Democratic Congress (NDC) but later broke away to form her own party, the National Democratic Party (NDP). In 2016, she made history by becoming one of the first Ghanaian women to run for President, solidifying her reputation as a trailblazer in women’s political participation.

Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings is widely regarded as one of Ghana’s most influential women. Through her activism, she elevated national awareness of women’s rights and gender equality. Her leadership of the 31st December Women’s Movement introduced community-based development programs that gave rural women access to credit, education, and political participation.

She inspired generations of Ghanaian women to pursue leadership roles, not just in politics but across all sectors. Her courage, determination, and service-oriented mindset have left an enduring mark on Ghana’s social and political landscape.

Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings passed away on Thursday, 23 October 2025, at the Ridge Hospital in Accra after a short illness. She was 76 years old at the time of her death.

Her passing came nearly five years after the death of her husband, former President Jerry John Rawlings, in November 2020. News of her death was met with widespread shock and sorrow across Ghana, as tributes poured in from political leaders, women’s groups, and citizens who remembered her decades of service and advocacy.

Following her passing, prominent figures and organizations across Ghana expressed their condolences. Many described her as a bold, visionary, and transformative leader whose life’s work contributed greatly to the advancement of women and children in Ghana. Citizens also recalled her warmth, dedication, and passion for social justice.

Funeral arrangements and national tributes are expected to be announced by the family and the government in due course.

Finally, Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings lived a life dedicated to empowerment, service, and leadership. From her early activism to her years as First Lady and beyond, she consistently championed the cause of women and the underprivileged. Her legacy will endure through the lives she touched, the movements she built, and the inspiration she continues to provide to future generations.

As the public continues to celebrate his achievements, questions around his marriages, wives, children and the inheritance of his properties have become a topical discussion.

Ghanaian legal practitioner Samuel Kissiedu has explained in detail how Ghanaian law treats issues of marriage and succession. This article brings together what is publicly known about Daddy Lumba’s family and how Ghanaian law would apply.

Daddy Lumba was widely reported to have been married to Akosua Serwaa, who lived with him in Germany during the early stages of his career. She is recognised as his first and legal wife under Ghanaian customary law. They had three children together.

Over the years, Daddy Lumba had relationships with other women and fathered children with them. One of the most publicly known partners is Priscilla Ofori-Atta, popularly called Odo Broni.

However, it is important to clarify that Odo Broni was not married to Daddy Lumba under either civil or customary marriage law, despite their close association.

Any children Odo Broni had with Daddy Lumba still have legal rights as his children, but she herself would not automatically qualify as a spouse for inheritance purposes.

Other women: There are media sources saying he had relationships with up to four women and fathered children with them.

Reports indicate that Daddy Lumba had children with more than one woman, but the confirmed number is with Akosua Serwaa (his recognised wife). Under Ghanaian law, all biological or legally acknowledged children, regardless of the marital status of their mother, have rights to their father’s estate.

Some of the controversy arises because of how marriages are or are not registered, whether they are customary, formal, or informal customary marriages. Also, because in Ghana polygamy is not recognized under civil (statutory) monogamous marriage law, but customary marriages may allow multiple wives.

Samuel Kissiedu, as per your summary, went into types of marriage, recognition under customary law, informal customary marriages, etc.

To understand who is “the” wife, and who inherits, one needs to understand Ghanaian law on marriage, customary marriage, and succession (inheritance). Some key laws / principles:

1. Customary Marriages: Customary marriages are the traditional form of marriage in Ghana. They are potentially polygamous, meaning a man can have more than one wife if the marriages are performed under customary rites. Even if a husband and wife separate for many years, the first wife remains recognised under customary law until a proper dissolution is done.

2. Ordinance (Statutory) Marriages: Marriage under the ordinance (civil marriage) is strictly monogamous. Once contracted, a man cannot marry another woman unless the first marriage is legally dissolved by divorce.

3. Informal Customary Marriages: These are situations where a couple has performed customary rites informally or lived together as husband and wife without formal registration. In Ghana, such unions may still be recognised under customary law if evidence exists of the marriage rites or public acknowledgement.

Under customary marriage, a man can have multiple wives. Each wife is recognised if the marriage rites were properly performed. Under ordinance marriage, however, polygamy is not allowed. This distinction is crucial when determining who qualifies as a spouse at the time of death.

Long periods of separation do not automatically end a customary marriage. A proper dissolution under customary law is required. Without that, the first wife still holds legal recognition, which can affect property distribution when the husband dies.

Children from all recognised unions, married or not have inheritance rights. They can claim maintenance and a share of their father’s property. DNA testing is not automatically required if paternity is acknowledged.

If a person dies without a will, the Intestate Succession Act applies. Under this law:

If the deceased contracted multiple valid customary marriages, all the wives and children have a share. However, only one matrimonial home is automatically guaranteed under the Act. Additional properties are distributed proportionately.

Women who were in a relationship with the deceased but were not legally married (either civilly or customarily) are not automatically entitled to inherit as spouses. They may only claim on behalf of their children or pursue other civil remedies.

Daddy Lumba’s family life mirrors the complexity of Ghanaian marriage systems. His only recognised wife is Akosua Serwaa, while Odo Broni was a partner but not a legally married spouse.

All acknowledged children, however, have inheritance rights regardless of their mothers’ marital status. According to Ghanaian legal principles explained by Samuel Kissiedu, the distribution of Daddy Lumba’s property will depend on the existence of a valid will, the proof of marriage under customary or statutory law, and the identification of all his children.

The pour didn’t happen overnight. Several preparatory milestones had to be completed first:

3. Ramp-Up Toward Operational Readiness: Testing processing flows, optimizing recovery rates, training staff, and ensuring safety and environmental systems are fully functional. This phase leads up to commercial scale operations.

While the first pour is a major achievement, the path ahead has challenges, typical for large mining projects:

DebrichGroup.com sources indicate that, the first gold pour at Ahafo North is more than symbolic: it marks a turning point in Newmont’s operations in Ghana, inaugurating what is hoped to be a long span of productive output and economic benefits for both the company and the host country.

If Newmont manages the ramp-up well, maintains operational discipline, and engages communities and regulators effectively, Ahafo North has the potential to become a benchmark in modern, socially-responsible gold mining in West Africa.

Ghana’s Computerised School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS) matches BECE qualifiers to available slots across public SHSs/SHTSs, Technical & Vocational Institutions (TVIs) and participating private SHSs.

Candidates submit ranked school choices at selection time; the CSSPS then attempts to place students automatically based on performance, choices and available vacancies.

Where a match cannot be made automatically (because preferred schools are full, programme codes mismatch, or student ranking falls below cut-offs), the system opens a self-placement module so the student can pick from schools with available spaces.

The large number of self-placements underscores persistent capacity constraints in desirable schools and highlights ongoing pressure on the secondary system as BECE candidate numbers rise.

The piloting of more private schools under the Free SHS programme shows a policy shift to use private sector capacity to ease congestion — an approach that will require monitoring for quality, equity and long-term sustainability.

Q: Where do I check my placement?

Q: I wasn’t placed automatically, what deadline do I have to self-place?

Q: What if the portal doesn’t work?

If you (or someone you’re helping) must self-place: have your BECE index number and date of birth ready, use the official CSSPS portal, read available programme codes carefully, and keep proof of your selection. If anything looks wrong, use the resolution centres immediately — they exist precisely to sort cases like this.

The main official portal for checking BECE placement and doing self-placement in Ghana is:

https://www.cssps.gov.gh

That’s the Computerised School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS) website run by the Ministry of Education/GES. From there you can check your placement status, access the self-placement module, and read any official announcements.

These events have always stirred public fascination, scientific engagement, and spiritual reflection across Ghana.

The Moon’s umbra (the darkest part of its shadow) sweeps across Earth, creating a path of totality. Within this path, observers experience total darkness in the daytime, as the Moon blocks sunlight completely for several minutes.

While Ghana will not be in the direct path of totality for the 2027 eclipse, the magnitude of the event will resonate globally. For those willing to travel, this will be an unmissable opportunity to witness over 6 minutes of total darkness, the longest since 2009—and the longest until 2114.

At its peak, the eclipse will last an extraordinary 6 minutes and 23 seconds—a rarity, as most total solar eclipses only last 2 to 4 minutes.

While the eclipse will be partially visible in much of Africa—including Ghana, which will experience a partial eclipse of 40–60%—the following countries will witness totality, with some enjoying 6+ minutes of darkness:

Egypt (especially Luxor, Aswan, Hurghada)

Sudan, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Eritrea, Somalia.

Tunisia, Libya, Oman

United Arab Emirates (UAE) – limited areas

Pakistan – western regions

India – Gujarat and parts of Rajasthan

Morocco – coastal visibility

Ghana, Nigeria, Ivory Coast, South Africa

Europe (Southern Spain, Italy, Greece)

Other parts of West Africa

This eclipse presents a rare chance for scientists, educators, and the public to study and marvel at the natural dynamics between the Earth, Moon, and Sun.

Solar Corona Observation: The eclipse exposes the Sun’s outer atmosphere, enabling research into solar wind and space weather.

Testing General Relativity: Astronomers can observe how light from distant stars bends around the Sun’s gravitational field.

Atmospheric Changes: Local drops in temperature and changes in animal behavior during eclipses provide insights into Earth’s environmental responsiveness.

Spiritual and Cultural Significance

Throughout history, solar eclipses have been seen as profound events symbolizing change, renewal, and cosmic messages.

Across Cultures:

In many African traditions, eclipses have been seen as omens or times of spiritual alertness.

Hindu customs encourage fasting and purification during eclipses.

Some Native American and Asian cultures saw eclipses as celestial battles or a swallowing of the Sun by mythological creatures.

In modern spiritual thought, eclipses are often linked to:

Emotional transformation

New beginnings or endings

Shifts in collective consciousness

Astrologers note that the 2027 eclipse occurs in the sign of Leo, which represents leadership, self-expression, and courage—indicating powerful shifts both individually and globally.

If you plan to witness the full event:

Travel to cities like Luxor, Egypt, or Medina, Saudi Arabia, for the longest view.

Use certified solar eclipse glasses at all times outside of totality.

Start planning early—these cities will likely attract international tourists, scientists, and media.

One of the longest total eclipses of the 21st century

Lasts more than 6 minutes in some areas

Next total eclipse of similar length won’t occur until 2132

Global visibility makes it one of the most accessible major eclipses in recent history.

According to DebrichGroup.com editor, Ghana will not be under the path of totality in 2027, the nation has experienced the majesty of eclipses before and can still take part in the partial version of this cosmic show.

For those willing to travel, the 2027 total solar eclipse offers a once-in-a-lifetime chance to step into the shadow of the Moon and witness the universe’s grandeur in motion.

Mark your calendars: August 2, 2027. The skies will go dark—and the stars will come out in the daytime.
