While some black man-filled African countries can be said to have shown capability, same cannot be said for several others. Sadly, a diagnosis of Ghana’s situation depends on who is the doctor. As a citizen of Ghana, who has been around for a significant part of the 68 years of independence, my view is that we are capable of managing our own affairs, yet we have not been able to do so.

AI-generated content, including text, images, audio, and video, has become a powerful tool for fraudsters, enabling them to create highly convincing and sophisticated scams. Here’s how AI-generated content is being misused: 1. Phishing scams with AI-generated text AI-powered language models, such as ChatGPT, can generate highly realistic and personalised emails, messages, or social media posts.

According to Sky Sports, the Russian billionaire has not accessed the money in three years, as his UK account remains frozen. The report suggests that the UK government's intended use of the funds contradicts Abramovich's wishes, as he wants the money to benefit "all victims of the war", which would include Russians.

The spokesperson also affirmed that Abramovich's account remains frozen while they work on disbursing the money. "The pro...
