VVIP, EXP Ghana, others launch 2019 Sallahfest
Sallahfest, a carnival to celebrate Ghana’s largest congregation of Muslims at the end of Ramadan has been launched in Accra.
The whole day celebration of Eid in Nima draws audiences from across the entire country, especially residents of Accra and Kumasi.
For almost two decades, VVIP has led the charge to celebrate the big day for Muslims in Ghana at Nima (the unofficial Head Quarters of the Muslim community) with a musical concert.
In 2011, the event evolved and transcended music with the introduction of free food and drinks for attendees immediately after the Eid-ul-Fitr prayers.
This year marks the 21st anniversary of Sallahfest and the milestone will be celebrated in grand style with the inclusion of new activities aimed at spicing up the festival and creating more marketing opportunities for sponsors.
The festival is organized by EXP Ghana in collaboration with Hiplife group ‘VVIP’ and Chapter O and sponsored by MTN Ghana, Conservaria producers of Gina, Wilmar Ghana producers of Fortune rice and Frytol, Nivea and FLY TV.
A look at the programme outline for the Sallahfest
1. Chiefs’ Parade: A parade of the various sub-chiefs within the Nima community, each with their entourage.
2. Football Competition: To sustain interest and build momentum towards Sallah Day, there will be a football competition between the various Zongo communities in Accra. The match will take place at the Kawukudi Park in Kanda on Sunday 26th May at 3pm.
3.Quizzes & Recitals: There will be a Qur’an Recital and Quiz activity on 1st June, 2019.
In collaboration with the religious teachers in the community, this quiz will be among the various sub-communities in Nima. Winners will be provided with various prizes donated by sponsors.
4.Online Amplification: This year Sallahfest will be heavily driven online with a hashtag to cut through the clutter and give all stakeholders the needed traction and exposure.

Kira Forex: The Ghanaian woman setting the pace in the Forex Trading business
The advent of new media and digital money-making platforms has provided a plethora of opportunities for people to earn money and transform their life stories through legitimately acquired wealth and affluence.
One such life-changing and lucrative opportunity presented by new media is the forex trading business, which has surged in the past decade, leading to the creation of millions of new millionaires and billionaires worldwide.
Forex Trading is essentially the art of studying the global currency market and leveraging information about currency rates to buy and exchange currencies on a forex marketing platform.
The popularity of Forex Trading has soared in the country over the past half-decade, with several Ghanaians studying currency trends and making significant financial gains from it. However, only one name stands out in the business.
Amid the growing interest in the Forex Trading business in the country, only one name has emerged as the pioneer and pacesetter: Lamidi Sikira, better known by her brand name, “Kira Forex.”
Just as Yaa Asantewaa is synonymous with feminine bravery in Ghana, Kira Forex has become the prime face of Ghanaian and African excellence in the forex trading business.
With over ten years of experience, Kira Forex has rightfully earned the reputation of a forex trading luminary, with several awards in Ghana and across the continent validating her position as one of Africa’s leading forex traders.
Her success in the field is so profound that she revealed in 2023 that she turned down a $20,000-a-month job to continue leading the pack in the forex trading industry.
A trait of Kira Forex that endears her to many Ghanaians is her selflessness and willingness to guide others, particularly Ghanaian women, out of poverty. Having established herself in the field, Kira Forex founded the Kira Forex Academy with the goal of enlightening Ghanaians, especially women, about the forex trading industry, enabling them to earn money from the comfort of their homes.
A staunch advocate for the independence and growth of women, Kira Forex believes that financial freedom is the most crucial condition for independence and is thus leading many Ghanaian women on the path to financial freedom and wealth.
She also established the Kira Foundation, a Non-Governmental Organization committed to enlightening, enriching, and empowering individuals in Ghana and across Africa. Through this foundation, she actively supports programs and social causes aimed at improving the lives of youths and the elderly, exemplifying her commitment to serving humanity.
Her outstanding work as a Forex Trader and philanthropist has earned her several awards, including Most Influential Trader and Best Forex Trader in Singapore, Outstanding Service Award in Nigeria, Africa’s Under 40 CEOs Award in Uganda, and Best Female Forex Trader of the Year in South Africa, among others.
