I knew Python… but couldn’t build anything useful 😐 That’s when the real Python lesson hit me. Problem: I understood syntax. Loops, functions, lists - all fine. But every time I tried to start a project, my mind went blank. Fix: Stopped “learning Python” and started using it for problems: • Automated file cleanup → learned os • Parsed CSVs → learned pandas • Hit real APIs → learned requests • Broke code daily → learned debugging Result: Python stopped feeling abstract. It became a tool, not a subject. 🎯 Lesson: You don’t get better at Python by knowing more concepts. You get better by solving boring, real problems with it.

Together, let's build a safe, informed, and accountable digital space. #SaferDigitalGhana #SayNoToCybercrime @samgeorgegh @gyaigyimii @iamedem @kwadwosheldon

A safer digital Ghana is everyone's responsibility. This festive season, @CSAGhana urges you to stay cautious with all online activities. Call or text 292, or WhatsApp 0501603111 to seek advice from the Cyber Security Authority before making any online transaction.

Over the last 48 hours, intelligence led by the @CSAGhana identified several suspected cybercrime centres operating within East Legon Hills, Afienya, Kwabenya, Weija, and Tuba. The intelligence indicated that young men were being exploited and coerced to engage in various cybercrime activities at these locations by kingpins. Acting on this CSA-led intelligence, a joint team comprising operatives from National Security Operations, the Cyber Security Authority, the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) Headquarters, and the National Police SWAT conducted coordinated operations at the identified centres on 16th and 17th January 2026. During the operations, nine (9) Nigerian nationals were arrested as suspects, while forty-four (44) additional Nigerian nationals believed to be victims were rescued. The victims were found in their respective apartments, operating laptop computers. Searches conducted in the apartments resulted in the retrieval of the following items: - Fifty-two (52) assorted mobile phones - Sixty-two (62) laptop computers - Two (2) pump-action guns. In total, fifty-three (53) Nigerian nationals were arrested across the various locations as follows: East Legon Hills - 5 Afienya - 11 Kwabenya - 10 Weija - 10 Tuba - 17 All the arrested individuals have been duly profiled and handed over to the Ghana Immigration Service for safekeeping and further investigations. We caution foreign nationals invited to Ghana to verify claims made by their fellow nationals to lure them here. Some individuals picked up in the previous operations have been profiled by the Ghana Immigration Service and INTERPOL and successfully handed over to Nigerian law enforcement operatives at the Seme border. Others are currently facing criminal prosecution before the law courts. Protecting Ghana's cyber image internationally is non-negotiable. Kudos to the CSA team and our partner law enforcement agencies. For God and Country.🦁🇬🇭

Subsequently, similar engagements were held with the University of Ghana and other public universities, as part of a broader initiative to deepen collaboration across tertiary institutions and promote a coordinated national approach to cybersecurity education and development.

Discussions also highlighted opportunities for joint research, capacity building, and knowledge exchange between the Authority and the University, aimed at strengthening Ghana’s cybersecurity ecosystem.

@gendercentregh @COnlineAfrica Through engaging presentations, demonstrations, and real-life case studies, experts from the Cyber Security Authority equipped students with practical and safety tools to help safeguard their online presence. #SaferDigitalGhana #StaySafeOnline

@CSAGhana, alongside partners from the @gendercentregh, and @COnlineAfrica, has trained school children to guard themselves against online predators after sensitising over 1000 basic and junior schools students at Madina SDA and Queen of Peace School.

Effective 31 January 2026, all Cybersecurity Service Providers (CSPs), Cybersecurity Establishments (CEs), and Cybersecurity Professionals (CPs) operating without a valid licence or accreditation will be sanctioned.

CSA to sanction unlicensed cybersecurity service providers from January 31 | More here: citinewsroom.com/2026/01/cyber-… #CitiNewsroom #CitiFM #GhanaNews

As part of efforts to strengthen partnerships for the future of cybersecurity, the Cyber Security Authority (CSA) conducted a working visit to the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA), to explore areas of collaboration on cybersecurity curriculum development.

Greatest software engineers of all time. 1. Alan Turing Father of computer science. Formalized computation itself. Without Turing Machines, there is no software engineering. 2. Dennis Ritchie Created C and co-created UNIX. Direct ancestor of Linux, Windows, macOS, Android, iOS. 3. Ken Thompson UNIX philosophy, file systems, processes, pipes. Software simplicity at its finest. 4. Linus Torvalds Linux kernel + Git. Literally runs the modern internet and developer workflows. 5. Donald Knuth Algorithms, complexity, correctness. The Art of Computer Programming shaped generations. 6. John von Neumann Von Neumann architecture - still how most computers execute software today. 7. Grace Hopper Invented compilers. Made software readable by humans instead of machines. 8. Claude Shannon Information theory. Compression, networking, error correction - all software relies on this. 9. Edsger Dijkstra Algorithms, structured programming, correctness proofs. Taught engineers how to think. 10. Brian Kernighan Software engineering discipline, tooling, and clarity. Made systems understandable. Modern-era system builders (honorable mentions) Jeff Dean - Distributed systems at planetary scale Martin Fowler - Software design patterns & refactoring Guido van Rossum - Python & developer productivity Any good ones I missed ??

@elonmusk Yeah we are going to greater heights 🤩💯

Happy New Year! 2026 will be a banger

The Vice Chancellor of UMaT, Prof. Richard Kwasi Amankwah, says the university has developed a technology to clean rivers polluted by illegal mining. Speaking at the 17th Congregation Ceremony in Tarkwa, where 2,496 students graduated, he explained that the Minerals Engineering Department is ready to act once the government gives approval. #CitiNewsroom #CitiFM #GhanaNews #Galamsey #UMat

Last week, we did it again! 🥰🔥 We took the energy to UMAT in Tarkwa and absolutely crushed it! 💥 The students showed incredible passion to learn, engage, and embrace the @Celo vision. Ghana’s future builders are on the rise!
