    Nana Kwame Bediako advices GFA to explore innovative funding strategies just like FIFA does

    Independent presidential candidate Nana Kwame Bediako has urged the Ghana Football Association (GFA) to adopt creative ways to fund football in the country.

    The New Force leader criticised the GFA for not taking inspiration from successful organisations like FIFA, which earns huge sums from broadcasting rights.

    He raised concerns about the GFA’s over-reliance on government funds, pointing out the need to explore other revenue opportunities to support the sport.

    “I don’t think they [the GFA] are looking at the strategy of other football associations like FIFA. Because FIFA makes most of their money from broadcasting. That’s what makes them powerful,” Bediako said in an interview played on Asempa FM.

    “So they’ve managed not just for people to play football, but they’ve built relationships with all television channels around the world.

    Ghana, our GFA, is just waiting for a budget and a match. And they carry the people; they go and play; they either win or they lose. They come back; somebody’s going to pay for it.”

    Conversations about the state of Ghana football are ongoing because of Ghana’s failure to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, which is the first time in 21 years that the Black Stars will not be at the tournament.

  • We have been sabotaged – Cheddar cries foul

    We have been sabotaged – Cheddar cries foul

    Leader of the New Force Movemnent, Nana Kwame Bediako, also known as Cheddar, has accused the Electoral Commission (EC) of sabotaging him.

    Cheddar made these remarks during a media engagement after casting his ballot at the Koley Klotey Constituency on Saturday.

    When asked about how the election is going, he responded “it is too early to discuss it”. However, he alleged that his movement has been sabotaged.

    “It’s very important I make it clear to Ghanaians that we have been sabotaged” he added.

    Cheddar claims that the EC denied accreditation for his polling stations, although he was willing to go through the necessary process to obtain it.

    He stated that he had polling agents stationed at various locations across the country, ready to carry out their duties, but were unable to do so due to the lack of accreditation.

    “I am very disappointed for not giving 40,000 polling agents their accreditation when we were supposed to write a common letter and it’s supposed to be retained. I know they did it for the NPP and the NDC . But the two parties were successful with the EC. But New Force hasn’t been, for some reason the same God that always keep us in peace within our governance will see us through this moment.

    Whereas others have sympathised with him, others have slammed him of being to quick to “tyhrow in the towel,” with others comforting him to wait for his turn in the next election, come 2028 after the NDC and NPP have been dealt with.

    Meanwhile, the EC is yet to respond to the claim made by Cheddar.

    Make me your president now, not when I become an old man – Nana Kwame Bediako

    Founder of the New Force Movement, Nana Kwame Bediako, made a stop in the Central Region as part of his 276 campaign tour.

    Addressing a crowd at the Kasoa Central Market, he appealed for their support, emphasising his desire to lead Ghana as president while still in his youth.

    “Don’t wait until I am older to act, because it will become harder for me to implement my vision for Ghana,” he said.

    Nana Kwame Bediako shared his vision of transforming Ghana’s markets into hubs of industrial activity, emphasising the need to process raw materials into finished goods.

    According to him, this approach would boost traders’ income, as factories would create demand for their produce while generating employment opportunities.

    He criticised the government for permitting foreign entities to exploit Ghana’s resources with advanced machinery while restricting similar initiatives by locals.

    Bediako also lamented the decline of factories established under Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, attributing their collapse to the negligence of successive governments.

    Driven by his ambition, Bediako expressed his commitment to positioning Ghana as a leading industrial powerhouse in Africa and beyond.

    He urged Ghanaians to reject the current political monopoly on December 7 and vote for him and the New Force Movement, listed as number 12 on the ballot. Bediako promised a future of progress with his 12 Pillars and 12 skilled ministers to lead the country forward.

    Independent presidential candidate and leader of the New Force, Nana Kwame Bediako, popularly known as Cheddar, has named Dr. Maryam Issaka Kriese as his running mate for the upcoming December 7 election.

    During a press briefing in Kumasi, Nana Bediako emphasised her qualifications and experience, describing her as the ideal partner to steer the nation towards economic success.

    “As Senior Manager at the Securities & Exchange Commission, Ghana, she helped shape the nation’s financial landscape through strategic oversight of investments, licencing of capital market operators, and the development of critical regulations.

    Her role in training market operators and educating investors places her at the forefront of financial empowerment,” he said.

    Dr. Maryam Issaka Kriese, a respected scholar, has lectured at both the University of Ghana Business School and the University of Professional Studies, Accra.

    She brings a wealth of financial expertise, backed by her strong academic background, which includes a doctorate in finance, an MBA, and specialised qualifications in Islamic Finance and ERP systems.

    A devout Muslim and prominent women’s rights advocate, Dr. Maryam Issaka Kriese has garnered respect for her activism.

    In recent months, The New Force has attracted significant support, fuelled by growing dissatisfaction among Ghanaians with the nation’s political landscape.

    The Bediako-Maryam ticket is poised to offer a fresh alternative to the dominance of the two major political parties.

    “Whether it’s reshaping policies, advancing financial education, or contributing to groundbreaking research, she stands as an indomitable force driving both Ghana and Africa towards financial inclusion and economic resilience.”

    As campaign season heats up, all eyes will be on Nana Bediako and Maryam as they crisscross the country, spreading their message of hope and change to the Ghanaian people.

    Leader of the political movement The New Force, Nana Kwame Bediako, has announced a bold strategy to harness the economic potential across all regions in Ghana, with a goal of creating 8 million jobs over the next decade.

    Mr. Bediako also known as cheddar underscored his dedication to revitalizing the industrial capabilities of regions that have long been overlooked.

    He made this declaration during the launch of his campaign for the 2024 elections on Sunday, September 1.

    Mr. Bediako detailed that his plan aims to leverage the unique industrial strengths of each of Ghana’s 16 regions, paying special attention to those that have been inactive.

    “It’s supposed to bring back the 15 dormant regions that we have left for so long, and we haven’t done anything,” he stated.

    He disclosed findings from thorough research conducted by his team, which uncovered significant mineral and agricultural resources in these regions..

    “Tonight, I would like to unveil all the potential minerals, arable lands, and all that we have discovered through the research within the 15 regions to Ghanaians. We start by making sure we invest in all these 16 regions, that is industrial plants to be able to refine all our minerals, and then the processing plants, to be able to process all our agro plants,” Cheddar explained.

    According to his research, Ghana’s potential mineral resources—including gold, iron ore, gas, bauxite, lithium, and diamonds—along with its agricultural lands, amount to an estimated $2.5 trillion. Cheddar projects that by fully harnessing these resources, Ghana could achieve an economic output of $4.7 trillion within the next decade.

    In addition to boosting the economy, Cheddar’s plan aims to create significant employment opportunities. “We will also create 8 million jobs in a decade,” he promised, outlining a vision of widespread economic development and job creation across the country.

    “Our research on attribution reserve shows that gold, iron ore, gas bauxite and lithium and diamond and the potential of agro-processing and all the arable lands on the country amounts to $2.5 trillion…We are determined to bring out every region’s wealth…Ghana will have an economic output of 4.7trillion…We will also create 8 million jobs in a decade.”

    Mr. Bediako’s campaign is focused on the idea that every region in Ghana holds untapped resources that could significantly boost national prosperity.

    Nana Kwame Bediako, leader of The New Force Movement, has declared his candidacy as an independent in the upcoming presidential elections following challenges in registering his party with the Electoral Commission (EC).

    Despite submitting required forms on September 12, 2023, The New Force only received a provisional certificate after an eight-month delay. This delay, according to Bediako, hindered effective campaigning within the allotted timeframe.

    Bediako emphasized that his decision to run independently stems from his commitment to national development, free from bureaucratic obstacles. He assured Ghanaians of his dedication to economic freedom, equity, equality, and empowerment for all citizens.

    “This campaign aims to revolutionize our future. Running as an independent allows us to bypass entrenched interests and bureaucratic delays, focusing on unlocking our nation’s vast potential,” Bediako explained.

    He also outlined his vision for Ghana, emphasizing fostering democracy, ambition, and entrepreneurship among citizens. Bediako reaffirmed his unwavering commitment to the people, aiming to ensure all voices are heard and represented.

    Bediako’s announcement has garnered significant interest and support among his followers, who view his independent bid as a potential catalyst for change in Ghana’s political landscape.

    “After eight months of waiting and only receiving a provisional license, it has become clear that pursuing a full party license in time for the elections is impractical. Therefore, we have decided to proceed with an independent candidacy,” Bediako stated.

    “This campaign is a revolution for a prosperous future. Running as an independent allows us to bypass entrenched interests and bureaucratic delays, focusing instead on unleashing the immense potential of our nation’s resources and people,” Bediako explained.

    “We don’t want to export our raw materials again, but we will refine them here and create jobs for ourselves”.

    TV show host Mona Gucci has voiced her skepticism about Nana Kwame Bediako, also known as Cheddar, and his recent political crowdfunding initiative.

    Gucci argues that despite Cheddar’s wealth, he lacks the grassroots support and achievements needed to justify public financial backing for his campaign.

    Gucci highlighted how Ghana’s major political parties, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and National Democratic Congress (NDC), have established strong support networks capable of rallying donations from their followers.

    She contrasted Cheddar’s situation with that of activist-turned-politician A Plus, who is self-funding his campaign and has gained public favor through community projects.

    “You’re a political starter who has done nothing. If A Plus wants to crowdfund his campaign, I will freely donate because of the boreholes and other projects he is undertaking in a short while,” Gucci stated on her show, Biribi Gyegyewo.

    Emphasizing Cheddar’s opulent lifestyle, she added, “Cheddar is very luxurious, he has a portrait of his mom in one of his buildings worth about a million dollars. Those artefacts can be sold and used to fund his campaign.”

    Founder of the New Force Movement, Nana Kwame Bediako, has promised to create over one million jobs through food processing if elected.

    He emphasized that these jobs would significantly improve the salaries and living standards of the workers.

    Bediako made this commitment during a meeting with leaders of the Trades Union Congress (TUC) in Accra on May 23.

    He introduced several policies he plans to implement if he wins the December 7, 2024 election, with a strong focus on job creation in agriculture and other sectors.

    “When we start processing our foods, we can have seven different jobs in one seed. Currently, we are the second-largest producer of cocoa, but the $200 billion chocolate industry benefits us very little,” he said, highlighting the potential of Ghana’s natural resources.

    Bediako also discussed other key areas of interest, including healthcare and education. Dr. Anthony Yaw Baah, Secretary General of TUC, praised Bediako’s vision and commitment, referencing a conversation where Bediako explained his innovative ideas, such as dredging the sea to Kumasi.

    In addition to his meeting with the TUC, Bediako met with the Ghana Union of Traders Association (GUTA) on May 22, where he promised to reduce excessive taxes suffocating businesses if elected.

    He acknowledged the challenges faced by traders and committed to revising tax policies to support local businesses better.

    “I’ll look into making taxes reasonable overnight. Importing from other countries and facing high taxes means the profit we should make is eroded by interest and living costs. I would definitely revise the taxes,” he assured.

    “With Kokofu’s qualification, I’m sure it inspired his fashion sense. He dresses like Cheddar, I heard he is going to be the vice to Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia,” Pratt comically remarked.

    Founder of the New Force Movement, Nana Kwame Bediako, also known as Cheddar is embarking on a strategic tour across the Volta Region.

    This tour is designed to engage stakeholders, present policies, and rally support for his presidential aspirations.

    Amidst Ghana’s evolving political landscape, Nana Kwame Bediako (NKB) and the New Force Movement are gaining momentum, particularly among the youth and those seeking alternatives to traditional political structures.

    The tour, deemed pivotal by his team, aims to fortify their presence and garner support across various regions.

    At the core of NKB’s campaign is the call for transformative change and development within Ghana. Rooted in principles of service and innovation, he believes his leadership can enact necessary reforms to propel the nation forward.

    “I am committed to being the voice of the people, the bridge between communities, and the catalyst for progress,” NKB stated ahead of his Volta Region tour.

    Expected to address topics including entrepreneurship, technical training, support for startups, and industrialization, NKB plans to engage with local leaders, community representatives, and residents across the region.

    This engagement serves as a platform to listen to concerns, share his vision, and discuss policies envisioned by the New Force Movement.

    Central to the campaign is the pledge to bring tangible change, focusing on education, healthcare, infrastructure, and job creation. NKB emphasizes these pillars as crucial for holistic national development and citizen well-being.

    With Ghana’s presidential election scheduled for December, NKB and New Force position themselves as a viable option for those seeking fresh perspectives and committed leadership.

    The Founder of the New Force Movement, Nana Kwame Bediako, commonly known as Cheddar, expressed his excitement about the responses to his proposal to dredge a sea in Kumasi.

    During his regional tour, the ambitious politician, who harbors aspirations of becoming President, unveiled his plan to dredge a sea in Kumasi, emphasizing its importance in facilitating trade within the country.

    However, Cheddar’s proposal received mixed reactions from Ghanaians, with some dismissing his ambition and vision.

    Despite the skepticism, Nana Kwame Bediako remains resolute in his belief that dredging the sea is a feasible endeavor.

    He suggested that connecting various river bodies across the country could make this vision a reality.

    During an appearance on TV3’s New Day on Monday, March 25, Cheddar reiterated his commitment to industrialization, emphasizing the importance of logistics in achieving this goal.

    He highlighted the presence of underutilized river bodies like Tano, Pra, and Oti, emphasizing the need for dredging to enhance coastal transportation and stimulate industrial growth.

    Cheddar emphasized the significance of industrialization in bolstering Ghana’s economy and expressed confidence in his ability to execute the dredging project effectively.

    He underscored the importance of engaging professionals with expertise in dredging, mapping, and defense to ensure the success of the initiative.

    “I am not surprise, I am happy because I was looking at the African Games to be a big thing but to have one statement kind of competing with the national games, it’s a great trend.

    “My vision is to bring industrialisation in this country. One of the main things needed is logistics.

    “When I was looking at the map when I was in Techiman, I discovered that they have a river in Tano and it goes all the way to the border. Tano comes all the way to the sea. It has been sitting there for 100 years and no one has connected it.

    “River Pra and Oti are very close and they connect. They are all there and connected but no one has dredged them. It will take the river bodies, that is what dredging is about,” he said on TV3’s New Day, Monday, March 25.

    He continued, “I am talking about coastal transportation and the future if Ghana is built on industrialization which I am about to start.”

    “We are running from industrialization as a country and this is the only thing that will save our economy,” Cheddar added.

    He stressed that “I know what to do to do it [dredging the sea in Kumasi] by bringing the right professionals that understands dredging, mapping and defensing.”

    Cheddar should not be taken seriously; he is a joker – Afia Schwar fires

    Self-proclaimed queen of Ghanaian comedy and a prominent media figure, Valentina Nana Agyeiwaa known popularly as Afia Schwarzenegger has launched a fierce criticism against Nana Kwame Bediako known popularly as Cheddar, the flagbearer of the New Force political party, over his recent statement regarding the creation of a sea in Kumasi.

    In a widely circulated self-recorded video, Afia Schwar dismissed Cheddar’s assertion, calling it nonsensical.

    She emphasised that Ghana faces pressing issues such as the lack of hospitals and schools, making the notion of creating a sea irrelevant to the country’s needs.

    The actress expressed disbelief at Cheddar’s priorities, questioning the wisdom behind such a proposal when critical sectors like healthcare and education require urgent attention. In her impassioned critique, she labeled the idea as “rubbish” and criticised Cheddar for not addressing more pertinent issues affecting Ghanaians.


    “If someone wants to say something that he could do when given the nod, then they say they would create a sea in Kumasi. Animal, when we are lacking hospitals in this country. We do not even have land to farm, and you are stupidly talking about creating a sea, where would you put the water?”

    Afia Schwar’s remarks reflect a growing sentiment among citizens demanding practical solutions to real-life challenges rather than extravagant promises with questionable feasibility.

    I can solve Ghana’s economic problems – Cheddar

    An independent candidate, Nana Kwame Bediako, widely known as Cheddar, has boldly proclaimed himself as the answer to Ghana’s economic challenges.

    In an interview with Nhyira FM on March 18, 2024, the founder and head of The New Force expressed his disappointment with the management of the country’s economy over the years.

    He criticized the dependence on foreign aid, suggesting that effective utilization of Ghana’s natural resources could have eliminated the need for such assistance.

    “Although I made half a million outside Ghana, all the industrialisation and projects I have in my empire came from the resources I mobilised in this country.

    “I don’t blame those who think I made my wealth from drugs and other vices. It is common in our part of the world that people believe you cannot make it through hard work without politics and drugs.

    “This is why we must change our minds and understand that the black man is also capable. I know that with time, people will see who I truly am,” he said.

    Cheddar acknowledged the prevailing perception that his wealth might be attributed to illicit activities like drug trade.

    However, he challenged this stereotype, asserting that success through legitimate means is attainable for Africans.

    He pledged to generate significant revenue domestically, envisioning a Ghana where reliance on institutions like the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for financial aid becomes unnecessary.

    “I am the new IMF for Ghana if I can find a solution for Ghana to gain $10 billion to $30 billion within four years.”

    Presidential aspirant Nana Kwame Bediako, also known as Freedom Jacob Caesar or Cheddar and the leader of The New Force Movement, has unveiled an ambitious vision to extend the sea from Ghana’s coast to the landlocked Ashanti Region.

    This bold proposal aims to unlock the potential of Ghana’s Eastern and Western Corridors, thereby enhancing international trade.

    During an interview with Kojo Marfo on Abusua 96.5 FM in Kumasi, Bediako elaborated on his plan, citing examples of other nations extending maritime transport routes inland.

    He drew inspiration from Dubai’s remarkable transformation from a desert landscape to a coastal city, illustrating the potential for similar achievements in Ghana.

    “Why are we still transporting individual containers by road when the sea could offer a faster and more efficient means?” Bediako questioned.

    He emphasized the shortcomings of the existing system, noting that goods transported by road frequently arrive damaged or spoiled after the six-hour journey from Tema Harbour to Kumasi.

    “I want to open up the East and Western Corridor infrastructure,” Bediako emphasized.

    “I want to build power stations, energy stations, connect the gas, create industries, and bring technology.”

    Advocating for a transition towards value addition and local manufacturing, Bediako urged Ghana to manufacture its own electronic devices using domestic resources like lithium and plastics.

    As part of his nationwide tour, termed a listening tour, Bediako is dedicating five days to engage with ordinary Ghanaians in the Ashanti Region, integrating their visions and aspirations into his manifesto for the upcoming national election in December.

    An independent presidential aspirant, Nana Kwame Bediako, widely known as Cheddar, has boldly asserted his candidacy for the presidency in the upcoming 2024 elections, urging Ghanaians to consider him for the position.

    As the leader of the New Force Movement, Bediako stressed the imperative of prioritizing manufacturing within Ghana to reduce reliance on imported goods from foreign nations like China, America, or Turkey.

    Reflecting on his journey, Bediako asserts that his leadership journey began during his school days, equipping him with the necessary skills to effectively lead the nation.

    “I have held leadership positions right from school so I have experience. I know how to make money and create wealth. I have what it takes to be president.

    “I respect and value people. I will not steal from them or disrespect them”.

    During his listening tour in the Ashanti region, Bediako emphasized his dedication to bolstering agricultural activities, curbing post-harvest losses, and fostering employment opportunities.

    “Out of 16 regions that we have in this country, it’s only one that is active and it’s just Accra. The rest is non-active and supposedly the rest are the ones with the resources; they have the mineral resources; they have the human resources and it’s not being used.

    “The resources are here in the Ashanti region… all of these places need plants, energy; you need power stations to at least give industrial tariffs,” he added.

    Bediako criticized the current leadership, alleging that their focus lies on personal gain rather than the nation’s development.

    During the competition, the quiz mistress asked Nana Ama to identify a displayed picture of Nana Kwame Bediako, also known as Cheddar, the Founder of the New Force Movement.

    Despite the error, social media users weighed in on the mix-up, with some highlighting the resemblance between the two political figures based on Cheddar’s attire in the picture.

    Leader of the New Force Movement, Nana Kwame Bediako popularly known as Cheddar has provided insight into his decision to appoint Shalimar Abbiusi, a foreigner, as his spokesperson.

    He explained that his intent was to challenge the narrative that white individuals cannot serve as subordinates to Africans.

    According to him, Shalimar’s role was aimed at demonstrating to Ghanaians that Africans have the ability to hire and employ white individuals, thus changing the perception and showcasing a different perspective.

    “Shalima was more or less hired. So it means she was working for us. She waas not here to come and dictate or instruct us about our political future. About our governance. She was actually instructed by us on what to say and what to report. Now the question is, am I not showing Ghanaians that it is very possible to hire white people to do any sought of job that we want? That’s the sought of example am trying to show. [That’s what you were trying to do?] Yes am trying to do…”, Cheddar explained.

    The Ghanaian Presidential Aspirant, who recently revealed his identity and political ambitions, has engaged in various interviews throughout the week.

    While discussing his wealth and ability to govern, he has faced criticism and scrutiny from the public.

    Despite the challenges, he encourages Ghanaians to shift their focus towards the positive changes he can bring to the nation, rather than dwelling on the origins of his wealth.

    He argues that questioning the source of his money is a form of judgment that doesn’t truly acknowledge the hard work and effort he has invested in accumulating his wealth.

    Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosiisen on Tuesday, Mr Bediako emphasised that rather than criticising or questioning those who have achieved great success, Ghanaians should celebrate their achievements and learn from them.

    “If someone makes money and decides to spend it, I can’t question him. He can decide to use it for what he wants even if he wants to use his money to buy beer and khebab,” Cheddar stated.

    During an appearance on Asempa FM’s Ekosiisen on Tuesday, Mr. Bediako stressed the importance of celebrating the achievements of successful individuals instead of engaging in criticism or questioning. He encourages Ghanaians to draw inspiration from such accomplishments.

    “If someone makes money and decides to spend it, I can’t question him. He can decide to use it for what he wants even if he wants to use his money to buy beer and khebab.”

    He revealed that he began earning money while working for a telecom company, which he later sold and began to resell scraps.

    “It went from the scraps to collecting piles of scraps, then I give it to the steel yards. The steel yards are the ones who buy steel and right now a company like B5 also buys scraps which they use for iron rods and sell.”

    “When I made my money, I started a business in Ghana and the business is what I’m investing in the country. So if Ghanaians don’t like this, then what do they like,” he asked.

    The creator of New Force emphasized that he was unaffected by inquiries about where his wealth came from.

    Cheddar reveals how Ghanaian banks refused him loans for his projects

    Renowned Ghanaian entrepreneur and founder of the New Force Movement, Nana Kwame Bediako, widely known as Cheddar or Freedom Jacob Caesar, reveals facing loan rejections from certain financial institutions in the country.

    Expressing frustration, Nana Kwame Bediako, also known as Cheddar or Freedom Jacob Caesar, voices his disappointment as numerous Ghanaian banks decline his loan requests aimed at supporting his various projects and businesses.

    Nana Kwame Bediako holds a diverse conglomerate of businesses under his name.

    In an interview on Citi TV, Cheddar indicated that only one bank expressed its willingness to give him a loan, but the bank later collapsed.

    The founder of the New Force Movement emphasized that only the World Bank supported and financed part of his projects because he had a partner.

    “We have had one bank that has lent us money before, IFC from the World Bank. They lent us money for a part of our building [properties]. When you come to Ghana, we have a lot of banks, from student loans to business advancement, whatever you ask of these banks, they don’t have the money for you. I’m sure we all know this. We don’t have banks supporting us, even if you want to high-purchase a car where you have a job. I have not borrowed money from Ghanaian banks before. I tried, but they won’t give me.”

    “There was one Ghanaian bank that took me through a process and took my building documents at that time. I passed all the requirements, and when they got to give me the money, they didn’t, and it took me about two years to hear it has been dissolved,” he told Bernard Avle.

    He raised concerns about the reluctance of financial institutions to offer loans to business owners in the country, posing a huge risk to the economy of the country.

    Cheddar bemoaned the lack of trust in international financial institutions to loan Africans money.

    “My partner had to come in and support. It’s difficult for Africans to benefit from such financial institutions; I don’t think they believe in our capacity. And I also don’t think they believe in the governance that built the economies of our country,” he observed.

    Nana Kwame Bediako promised to give hope to the youth if he wins the presidential elections.

    “Currently, there’s no hope; that is why we are here.”

    Why don’t you grill NPP guests the same way? – Netizens ask Bernard Avle

    Citi TV General Manager and journalist, Bernard Avle, is facing public scrutiny following his interview with Nana Kwame Bediako, also known as Cheddar, founder of The New Force, on the Point of View show aired on Monday, January 15, 2024.

    The interview became intense as Bernard Avle and Nana Kwame Bediako engaged in an intellectual debate. The classification of Ghana as a middle-income country emerged as a controversial topic, with the two participants expressing divergent views on the matter.

    Bernard Avle held the position that Ghana is indeed a middle-income country, but Mr Bediako argued otherwise, stating that Ghana is a low-income country.

    Mr Bediako argued that since the government run to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for economic assistance through a credit facility worth $3 billion, it is a low-income country.

    “They went to beg to save the economy, but you are sitting in front of me, and I know you know a lot about economics, and you are telling me this country is a middle-income country.

    “How then do we go so broke that we lost all the cash in our central bank and we had to go to IMF to save us? Ghana is a low-income country,” he stressed.

    A much more composed Bernard Avle insisted that “Ghana is a middle-income country.”

    Also, Bernard claimed that Mr Bediako said he planned to make Ghana a low-income country, an assertion he refuted.

    For some netizens, Mr Avle came off as brusque and “dripped with condescension.” They accused him of being impartial. They alleged that guests from the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) who appear on the show were not interviewed intensely as Cheddar was.

    “That Bernard Avle interview with FJC is dripping with condescension. I get that the guy is highly ignorant and comically incompetent, but the interviewer’s posture borders on badgering and belittling,” a user, @enyonvm wrote.

    Another user, @cole__xy said, “Now they’re attacking Bernard Avle. Crazy world.”

    But some others noted that Mr Avle has always been an individual who puts his guests on a hot seat, questioning their intellect on issues they plan to resolve or address.

  • Cheddar means money – Nana Kwame Bediako

    Cheddar means money – Nana Kwame Bediako

    Founder of The New Force, Nana Kwame Bediako, has made known the meaning of his widely recognized alias, Cheddar.

    Cheddar, according to Mr Bediako, means money. He made this known when he conveyed the positive and successful relationship he has with wealth, particularly money, in an interview on Kofi TV with host, Kofi Adoma.

    For Cheddar, money is no mere object, but he describes it as if it were a romantic partner. According to him, even when he does not actively seek it, money finds a way to locate him, which implies that his financial success or opportunities are abundant and readily available.

    “Money is like a woman; we came to meet it, and we will leave it. Money likes me. Even when I leave it, it finds a way to get to me. It follows me; when I speak, it is close by; and when I sit, it sits. For some people, when they get money, it quickly vanishes.

    “I share for everyone to get a portion. I give to the visually impaired, the rich, mothers, paupers and I also know how to spend money very well.

    “So money is my girlfriend. Cheddar means money, and now I don’t associate with it and I have moved to Freedom, but money still says it is me; it will serve,” he said.

    The footage of the interview that has surfaced on social media comes at a time when Cheddar has recounted the period when he first became a millionaire.

    According to the business mogul, he achieved his first million pounds at the age of 21 due to a combination of ventures in the telecommunications sector and a strategic involvement in the scrap business in the United Kingdom.

    Cheddar revealed that he utilized $20,000 from his initial million-pound earnings to establish a club in Ghana.

    This entrepreneurial move proved fruitful, resulting in a profit of $75,000 after selling the club in 2002.

    “The first money I made in England altogether was a million pounds and I was 21. I was working for myself, my company was GT, Global Telecommunications and Utilities I was selling scrap. I had my own office and I two employees.

    “I started investments at a very young age and what happens when you make investments is that the money goes away and it feels like you are broke again so it makes you hungry,” he said.

    Nana Kwame Bediako, the leader of the New Force, has committed to providing the youth with opportunities to actively participate in the nation’s decision-making processes for selecting leaders if he is elected in the 2024 polls.

    Expressing concern about the absence of such opportunities for the youth over the past four decades, Mr Bediako criticized the prevailing practice where politicians exploited them by offering monetary incentives for votes.

    In an interview with Bernard Avle on The Point of View on Citi TV, Bediako emphasized the New Force’s dedication to championing the cause of the youth.

    He expressed, “We believe that in the past four decades, the youth should have the right to be a part of the decision – how and who is going to lead us and how they are supposed to lead us.”

    Mr Bediako pointed out the lack of a young individual with the courage to stand up and become a unifying force between the youth and the government between NDC and NPP over the last four decades.

    As he envisions himself as the unifier, Mr Bediako pledged to be a president who provides young people with the opportunity to contribute to the decision-making process in selecting the country’s leaders.

    He emphasized the New Force’s initiative to eliminate the practice of enticing youth with money for votes, stating, “So we want to eradicate and get rid of people going to the same youth and giving them money instead, and after that, there is no development, there is no job creation.”

    I was a millionaire at 21, I made £1million after selling scraps in London – Cheddar

    Nana Kwame Bediako, widely recognized as Cheddar has shared the story of how he achieved his first million pounds at the age of 21.

    The leader of the New Force Movement, attributed this financial milestone to a combination of ventures in the telecommunications sector and a strategic involvement in the scrap business in the United Kingdom.

    During an insightful discussion on the Point of View show on Citi TV, Cheddar revealed that he utilized $20,000 from his initial million-pounds earnings to establish a club in Ghana.

    This entrepreneurial move proved fruitful, resulting in a profit of $75,000 after selling the club in 2002.

    Recounting his early success, Cheddar explained, “The first money I made in England altogether was a million pounds and I was 21. I was working for myself, my company was GT, Global Telecommunications and Utilities I was selling scrap. I had my own office and I two employees.

    “I started investments at a very young age and what happens when you make investments is that the money goes away and it feels like you are broke again so it makes you hungry.”

    Cheddar emphasized the impact of starting investments at a young age, acknowledging the challenges of financial fluctuations that accompany such endeavors.

    Looking forward, Cheddar, as the leader of the New Force, expressed a commitment to providing opportunities for the youth to actively participate in the country’s decision-making processes and the selection of leaders in the upcoming 2024 elections.

    He criticized the lack of such opportunities for the youth over the past four decades, asserting that they were often used by politicians who offered monetary incentives in exchange for votes.

    He stated, “I think that the New Force is standing for the youth in this country. We believe that in the past four decades, the youth should have the right to be a part of the decision – how and who is going to lead us and how they are supposed to lead us.

    “In the past four decades, between NDC and NPP, there hasn’t been any young person who has stood up with the courage to say that I am coming in, and I am going to become the unifier.”

  • New Force became more powerful after our Convention event was cancelled – Cheddar

    New Force became more powerful after our Convention event was cancelled – Cheddar


    The Founder of the New Force Movement and Ghanaian Entrepreneur, Nana Kwame Bediako, also known as Cheddar or Freedom Jacob Caesar, has expressed that the cancellation of The Convention event, initially scheduled for January 7, 2024, has inadvertently propelled his movement.

    The event, which was set to take place at Black Star Square on Ghana’s Constitution Day, was called off just hours before its commencement due to a last-minute government directive, according to the organizers, the New Africa Foundation.

    During an interview on The Point of View on Citi TV, Cheddar acknowledged the unexpected turn of events but noted that the New Force Movement has gained significant influence in Ghana.

    Responding to the host’s observation that the cancellation brought them considerable publicity, Cheddar affirmed, “I think you are right… The successful event has been based on the cancellation. It went to all parts of Africa, it woke people up.”

    Cheddar dismissed claims that the Convention event was intended to unveil his New Force, emphasizing that the goal was to impact people.

    He explained, “This event was going to impact based on what they will say. It wasn’t the plan to unveil a New Force. It was because the entity, or whoever decided to cancel the event, needed an excuse.”

    He further highlighted that the press conference following the cancellation provided them with a significant opportunity to clarify their intentions to the public.

    “We genuinely wanted to bring these people to open the mindset of the youth of Africa. I knew that I would still come in as the man in the mask but wanted people to know when they found out later about the contributions of the New Africa Foundation we bring into the system. This event was going to impact based on what they will say. It wasn’t the plan to unveil a New Force. It was because the entity, or whoever decided to cancel the event, needed an excuse. But even if it was so, would it have been wrong for me to unveil my movement? No, it’s not a crime,” Nana Kwame Bediako asked.

    “I don’t think it’s just the cancellation that has helped me to achieve my aim. But the fact that they all agreed for us to do a press conference to explain ourselves actually sent the right message to the people.”

    “Thief! Even your wife should not trust you, you know what I am talking about” – Kevin Taylor blasts Cheddar

    Controversial commentator Kevin Taylor, known for his direct and critical approach to political figures, has unleashed a blistering attack on Cheddar, a prominent Ghanaian businessman and real estate mogul, during a recent episode of his ‘LOUD SILENCE’ program.

    In a widely circulated video on social media, Taylor accused Cheddar, also known as Nana Kwame Bediako, of dishonesty and theft. He issued a challenge for Cheddar to appear on television and respond to his allegations, cautioning him against mentioning his name in any retort.

    “Cheddar, you, you, you are a liar. Your wife should not even trust you. You Cheddar. And if you are a man, come on TV and respond to me. I say, Cheddar, you Cheddar, you are a liar and every liar is a thief. And I am sending my warning to you, if you are a man, mention my name in any of your comments and I will prove a point to you. And you know what I am talking about. You Cheddar, you know what I am talking about. You know. You know. You have spoken to me on the phone. You know. You are a liar. And right now it is going to be rough,” Taylor asserted in the video.

    While Taylor did not explicitly state the reason for his attack on Cheddar, he hinted at possessing information that could expose him. Additionally, he claimed to have had phone conversations with Cheddar, emphasizing that Cheddar understood the context of his accusations.

    Cheddar, also recognized as Freedom Jacob Caesar, serves as the founder and chairman of Kwarleyz Group, a company specializing in real estate, construction, and hospitality. Beyond his business ventures, he engages in philanthropy and social activism, contributing to various projects aimed at fostering African development and empowerment.

    Cheddar, who has recently confirmed his presidential aspirations under the New Force movement has not responded to Taylor’s allegations, as of the time of writing this article.

    Taylor, a US-based Ghanaian journalist, is the founder and CEO of Loud Silence Media, focusing on human interest stories and expressing vocal criticism towards the current NPP government. The unfolding situation promises to add further intensity to the already charged atmosphere.

  • Cheddar is injecting a different dimension into our politics; his event shouldn’t have been cancelled – Kofi Bentil

    Cheddar is injecting a different dimension into our politics; his event shouldn’t have been cancelled – Kofi Bentil

    Vice President of policy think tank IMANI Africa, Kofi Bentil, has voiced his concern over the cancellation of ‘The Convention,’ the event scheduled to unveil the face behind #TheNewForce, which eventually turned out to be Nana Kwame Bediako, popularly known as Cheddar.  

    Mr Bentil, known for his advocacy on various social and political issues, believes that Cheddar is introducing a distinctive dimension to Ghana’s political landscape, and the cancellation of his event should not have happened.

    Kofi Bentil expressed his disappointment over the cancellation, stating, the President should not have gone anywhere near the event. 

    “The president should not go anywhere near this program. This is someone arranging a meeting and then someone [from the Presidency] decides that they are going to cancel the meeting for very bad, wrong reasons,” he said on January 13. 

    He called for an investigation into the matter, pointing out that the letter issued was mandated by the presidency, and he wondered if all letters issued by the presidency had the proper authority.

    “Our presidency sometimes seems to issue things, and you don’t know who is singing what and that for me, is more worrying than the event itself,” Mr. Bentil said.

    According to him, that is more worrying than the event itself.

    His comments were prompted by Professor Agyemang Duah’s assertion on the show, stating that President Akufo-Addo should have addressed the cancellation of ‘The Convention.’

    Prof. Duah emphasised that the President was expected to make a pronouncement and denounce the cancellation if he did not approve or knew about it, stating that persons behind it had embarrassed him as the head of state.

    “If it were the case that somebody did that, then somebody must take the fall to protect the president. In our governance system, you don’t get anybody taking the fall to protect a higher person like the president,” Prof. Agyemang Duah stated.

    On the back of this, Mr Bentil criticised the cancellation of the New Force event organized by Nana Kwame Bediako and disagreed with attempts to hinder his political ambitions.

    “He says he’s our salvation and he’s here to save us, let’s take it as it is, he’s wearing a Voodoo mask and he says we shouldn’t be afraid of him, let’s take it like that. He’s going to inject some kind of levity into the political campaign.

    “What we should not do is to deploy serious state resources to try and cancel his event. The cancellation is more news than the event and I think we should be spearing the use of state resources,” he said.

    The Senior Vice President of IMANI-Africa emphasised that the cancellation of the event was entirely unnecessary and urged the government to allow Mr. Bediako to proceed with his plans.

    “In the scheme of things politically and nationally, I really do not think that this rises to the kind of event that requires presidential intervention. This is a young man who is injecting a different dimension into our politics, just let him,” said Mr. Bentil.

  • Cheddar ‘cries’ over EC’s alleged denial of political party license

    Cheddar ‘cries’ over EC’s alleged denial of political party license

    Aspiring 2024 presidential candidate for the New Force movement, Nana Kwame Bediako, commonly known as Cheddar and has leveled an accusation against the Electoral Commission (EC), alleging that they are intentionally withholding a political party license from him.

    Bediako asserts that despite meeting all stipulated requirements and submitting the necessary documents, the EC has not issued a provisional license to his group, leaving the New Force movement in a state of uncertainty.

    Speaking in an interview on TV3 on January 11, 2024, he detailed the hurdles, his party has faced in its pursuit of formal recognition.

    “I started my journey and I realized that the kind of things I have to do to have a political party were quite tough. I had to get these officers in the regions and buildings, and of course, I started. We did the work; we went to get offices in all 16 regions.

    “We did what the law is saying… We submitted them to the EC, all the documents and then we paid the first money to say that you can become a political party, but we are going to give you a provisional license.

    “And then you go to the rest of the constituencies, which is a hundred and seventy-seven districts that we have to also create more offices, which we are ready and we have it in motion.

    “Now, when we did that, the clause says that they would reply after seven days, every time we have gone back to ask, they say that they were doing something, they were waiting for this and that,” he said.

    He further voiced apprehension about the lack of transparency in the procedure, stating, “It has been two to three months, and what troubles me the most is the recurring phrase I hear, ‘orders from above.’”

    “I don’t go there myself but someone will tell my people that orders from above say that; maybe we should wait, orders from above are saying that we should arrest this, we should keep this, orders from above are saying that we should cancel this.

    “We, as the New Force are a little bit confused about the entire national governance. I feel like there have to be some human rights in there, which I think Ghana is not fully going by because clearly, we are still waiting to be responded to. At least give us a letter,” he lamented.

  • Cheddar confirms he took a loan from the World Bank to finance the No. 1 Oxford Street Hotel

    Cheddar confirms he took a loan from the World Bank to finance the No. 1 Oxford Street Hotel


    Nana Kwame Bediako, commonly known as Cheddar, has revealed that he once secured a loan from the World Bank to fund the construction of his hotel on Osu Oxford Street, aptly named Number 1 Osu Oxford Street.

    During an interview on Joy News on January 12, 2024, he candidly shared the financial hurdles he faced and the eventual success of repaying the loan that played a crucial role in bringing to life the fourteen-story hotel with a capacity of 104 rooms.

    Cheddar clarified that he, in collaboration with a business partner, obtained the loan to finance the project situated in Osu, a suburb of Accra.

    “I think that Ghana wants to know, ‘how are you funding all of this when you build, they say how are you building all of this?’

    “People are not even asking; do you owe some banks? If so, how do you sleep?

    “I used to owe the World Bank; they were the first people I decided to borrow from when we were building the number 1 Oxford hotel.

    “My partner and I we just wanted that badge; you know myself and my partner and we have managed to pay it off because we realised that we were becoming slaves to the loan; it is a tough thing and now I am quite that free,” he said.


    Meanwhile, according to a report by independentghana.com, the development of the Number 1 Oxford Street hotel received partial funding from the International Finance Corporation (IFC), a division of the World Bank Group.

    Renowned for aiding private businesses in developing nations, the IFC provided investment for the project, which involved two companies, Cola Group and Wonda World Estate, both associated with Cheddar, securing the necessary financial support.

  • Nana Bediako (Cheddar) slams government for favouring foreign events over local ones after cancelling ‘The Convention’

    Nana Bediako (Cheddar) slams government for favouring foreign events over local ones after cancelling ‘The Convention’

    Ghanaian entrepreneur and presidential aspirant, Nana Kwame Bediako, popularly known as Cheddar or Freedom Jacob Caesar, has criticized the government for favoring foreign events over local ones. Speaking in an exclusive interview with TV3 Morning Show on Thursday, Bediako highlighted the Global Citizen Live concert held in three African countries last year as an example.

    The concert, featuring international and local artists, aimed to raise funds and awareness for the fight against poverty, climate change, and inequality. Bediako expressed disappointment, stating that the donations went to the organizers, and the government missed an opportunity to showcase Ghana’s potential. In contrast, he referenced his own event, The Convention, a local initiative addressing African challenges.

    Bediako remarked, “These people were extremely successful (Global Citizens) in doing these events in three different countries, but they didn’t leave anything for us Ghanaians. They took the donations with them. Let’s see how Ghana embraced them. The whole country went, our leaders were there, they gave speeches. Now let’s come to The Convention.”

    He emphasized that The Convention, organized by a Ghanaian and supported by the Ghanaian company New Africa, faced challenges, including attacks on speakers and cancellations. Bediako questioned when Africans would support their own, pointing out the contrast in appreciation between foreign and local events.

    “The person that was behind the event was a Ghanaian, and the company that invested in the initiative is also a company from Ghana, New Africa. The speakers were attacked, it was cancelled, we were restricted.”

    “The point I am trying to make here is, when are Africans going to support their own? Anything that is our own, we are against our own. That is why I am using the two events. The foreign events are appreciated, but the local is not,” he noted.

    The Convention, initially scheduled for January 7 at Independence Square, was postponed after the government withdrew the permit, citing an “unforeseen state event.” Organized by Bediako’s New Africa Foundation, the event aimed to bring together prominent pan-Africanists to discuss solutions for Africa’s development.

    Bediako, founder and CEO of the Kwarleyz Group, a conglomerate in real estate, finance, and property management, also announced his 2024 presidential candidacy under the New Force movement. He expressed a desire to bring a new vision and leadership to Ghana, empowering the youth and marginalized communities.

  • $300k was spent on ‘cancelled’ The Convention event – Cheddar reveals

    $300k was spent on ‘cancelled’ The Convention event – Cheddar reveals

    Presidential aspirant Nana Kwame Bediako, popularly known as Cheddar or Freedom Jacob Caesar, has disclosed that he invested $300,000 in orchestrating the ‘The Convention’ program for his outfit, New Africa Foundation. Unfortunately, national security halted the event just hours before it was set to commence.

    Cheddar lamented that his entire investment in the program, designed to bring renowned African intellectuals to inspire the people of Ghana, was unjustifiably thwarted.

    During an interview on TV3 on Thursday, January 11, 2024, the presidential hopeful stated that the event organizers received $150,000, while the remaining $150,000, potentially more, was allocated for bringing in speakers, artists, and other logistical aspects of the event.

    “I am kind of confused and I trying to ask the nation, I want the nation to put themselves in my shoes. Because I’m going by the law… and I go and invest $300,000 into an event, into something that would inspire the nation and they just come and tear it down.

    “… we even asked for protocol help and then paid for security and 80 policemen were assigned. But they came back the very day and started pulling everything down… I don’t know how to say it for you to understand my pain because that investment can also take care of my children,” he said.

    He added, “The show itself was costing us $150,000 and then all the other logistics, bringing people in and other people who are performing and all of that, cost the rest.”

    Cheddar also said that the treatment of the African leaders who were in the country to speak at his event has dented the image of Ghana.

    “We brought four Africans who have spoken and spent three decades of their lives fighting for a better Africa, we brought them into Ghana to speak to the youth and to speak to the continent, the person that was behind the event is a Ghanaian… watch how all of us were attacked,” he said.

  • I had a dream and God told me to contest – Cheddar on his Presidential Ambition

    I had a dream and God told me to contest – Cheddar on his Presidential Ambition

    Founder of #TheNewForce, Nana Kwame Bediako, popularly known as Cheddar, has disclosed that his decision to contest the highest office of the Presidency stems from a dream he had. 

    In an interview with TV3, monitored by The Independent Ghana, Cheddar, noted that he had no intention, whatsoever, to contest in any of the country’s elections until he had the dream last year (2023).

    “I had a dream and the dream when I woke up, I decided to first of all form a political party and then start my agenda and so it was like a calling and that calling, I realized that I had to do some work. 

    “So I read the Constitution and I read a little bit. I don’t know anything about politics, whatsoever. I don’t even know how to become an Assemblyman and I said that this is what I’m going to do…I went straight for the seat because that’s what God said; ‘that Go for it, it’s your time. Go for it,” he said. 

    This comes after the dramatic cancellation of his much anticipated event which was scheduled for January 7, 2024, to unveil him as the face behind #TheNewForce.
