The dignified and simple nature of the wedding has been hailed in a world full of excessive luxury at the expense of the emotion. The Rawlings family was praised on social media because they maintained the trait of modesty.
The 78 th Memorial of JJ Rawlings saw the reuniting of Amina and Kimathi
Amina Rawlings, the sister of Kimathi, appeared in his side just two weeks before the wedding, at the memorial party of their late father that was held at the NDC headquarters on the occasion of his 78th birthday. Party loyalists and patriots welcomed the siblings with the touching honor of the heritage of their father.
The look of Amina, who appeared in the street relatively rarely, provoked a wave of discussion online, shares the feeling of nostalgia about the Rawlings period and the fact that the family remained united.
Secret society rumors are driven by Ohemaa Dynamite and her Eye Cake
Ghanaian TikTok star Ohemaa Dynamite has gone the opposite end of the spectrum when it comes to celebrating her 21st birthday in quiet, as seen with the Rawlings family, but with a party that has now taken the internet by storm not due to who and what came to party, but due to her weird, symbolic cake.
It looked like a blue-eyed human eye with the mysterious inscription on the top of the cake: “She survived.” It was filmed in an extremely stylized environment, with Ohemaa wearing what people referred to as a bridal dress, and people started thinking that it was not just a birthday party.
One user remarked, it is a secret wedding masquerading as a birthday party.
Another one cracked: he said, the thing is giving me mame water under sea vibes.
To make things even more interesting, Prophet Ohemaa shared the cake cutting stage with Prophet Ogyaba, the founder of Holiness of Christ Zion Ministry who has lately been making headlines after confessing about an extramarital affair with one of his former mistresses.
It has also been suggested that the two are much more than just close friends because Ogyaba calls Ohemaa his goddaughter. Ohemaa already refutes any romantic attachments to the prophet and claims that he is an uncle to her.
Secret Society and Online Backlash Allegations
The birthday party has rekindled conspiracy theories that Ohemaa is a member of an exclusive women organization which has been said to be funding her expensive lifestyle. Such speculations followed a controversial video that was leaked earlier this year.

Although Ohemaa has strongly refuted these allegations, the symbolic cake with the all-seeing eye and the wording She survived give netizens a reason to doubt. Others feel the experience was to represent a religious initiation or ritualistic rebirth.
One commenter: She is giving a message. This is not just a cake, but a statement.
Final Thoughts- A Tale of Two celebrations
The social media scene in Ghana is utterly alive, on the one hand, Ghanaians have been reminded about love, legacy and simplicity by the Rawlings family, and on the other, Ohemaa Dynamite has created an atmosphere of fascination, concern and speculation.
Be it a low key wedding or a scandalous birthday party, there is one thing that you just know when it comes to Ghanaian public figures: they know how to bring in the headline, at least even when they are not out to do so.
