TiC storms Nigeria with Ghana Independence Day Party
One of Africa’s finest music exports, TiC, known in private life as Nana Kweku Okyere Duah, will storm Nigeria on March 8, 2025.
The music legend is storming there with the Ghana Independence Day Party in Lagos, Nigeria.
The event, which is expected to take place at Lounge 38 in Lagos, will see some Ghanaian musicians like Nero X, Samuel G and 1st Born team up with TiC for an unforgettable time.
Ghana’s DJ Toyor and Nigeria’s legendary disc Jockey, DJ Humility, will be behind the turntables to rock the patrons.
Revealing the rationale behind this, TiC, said the event, which is aimed at becoming an annual ritual, is expected to strengthen the bilateral relations with Nigeria in the area of music.
According to him, he envisaged this many years ago and the need for such programmes to harness the mutual relationship between the two countries,
He said, “Think about it; after all the talk in Ghana that we support Nigerian music, but they don’t reciprocate, we have not aggressively pushed the boundaries to even hold an Independence Day events there.”
According to him, Nigerians love Ghana music, however, it behoves Ghanaians to aggressively push their music to their market, adding that his move is one of them.
“Just check the number of Ghanaians there and Nigerians who love our music,” he quizzed.
“Now, the stage is set for a new dawn, and I have set the ball rolling,”he added.
He urged other stakeholders to get on board to embark on a historic journey which would go a long way to pave the way for Ghana music in Nigeria.
TiC over the years has held the flag of Ghana high beyond the borders of the country, making strong statements with the sound.

Traditional Medicine Practice Council adopts 24-hour economic policy
The Traditional Medicine Practice Council (TMPC) has developed an online platform to facilitate a 24-hour registration and licensing of traditional medicine practitioners.
A press statement issued by the Council’s Corporate Affairs Unit on Tuesday said the platform would ensure effective and efficient service delivery and reduce the human interface of collecting physical cash from practitioners to eradicate corrupt practices.
The current manual system for registration, licensing and other services were fraught with challenges, hence the intervention, it said.
“Implementing the 24-hour economic policy in this case will help in service delivery 24/7 both in Ghana and abroad,” the statement said.
The Council would soon roll out additional technologies to facilitate service delivery and create job opportunities for young people in the sector.
The TMPC, established by the Traditional Medicine Practice TMP Act 2000 (Act 575), regulates, promotes, and oversees Traditional, Complementary, and Alternative Medical Practices across the country.
The goal is to ensure that its practices are safe and effective, contributing positively to healthcare delivery in Ghana.
It is estimated that about 70 per cent of the population rely on Traditional, Complementary, and Integrative Medicine facilities as their primary healthcare providers. —GNA
