Inside the Spectacle: How INEN Limited Transformed Dr. Ernest Ofori Sarpong’s 60th Birthday Into a Living Masterpiece
When Ghanaian business magnate Ernest Ofori Sarpong celebrated his 60th birthday on May 5, 2026, the evening became far more than a birthday party. It unfolded as a cinematic experience layered with luxury, performance, emotion, and immersive design. At the center of that transformation was INEN Limited, led by renowned event designer Christal Beeko.
Hosted at the iconic Despite Automobile Museum, the celebration quickly became one of the most talked-about private events of the year, dominating social media timelines with breathtaking visuals, celebrity performances, and unforgettable production moments.
But beyond the fireworks and star-studded guest list was a carefully orchestrated design story crafted by INEN Events.
A Venue Reimagined Through Luxury Design
From the moment guests arrived, the experience felt intentional.
The entrance featured a black carpet arrival framed by a luxury photo backdrop, immediately setting the tone for the evening. Live saxophone melodies floated through the air while aquatic dancers performed inside the fountains closest to the main building, transforming the museum exterior into a theatrical dreamscape. Along the long fountain runway, fire spitters created bursts of flame that illuminated the arrival path with dramatic flair.
Inside, the décor embraced a refined gold-themed aesthetic layered with modern elegance. Lavish floral installations, ambient lighting, candlelit tablescapes, and elevated staging transformed the venue into a luxury celebration environment worthy of the milestone.
Every detail carried the signature of intentional storytelling.
Entertainment as Living Décor
What distinguished the event was how entertainment became part of the visual architecture itself.
Rather than separating décor from performance, INEN fused both elements into one continuous sensory experience.
During cocktail hour on the museum’s second floor, guests interacted with silver-themed performers including a “living statue” holding a glowing “Happy Birthday” sign, silver dress dancers, and towering stilt walkers who moved through the crowd like sculptural art pieces.
Guests were then ushered into the main hall table by table through curated pathways accompanied by live guitar melodies, creating an elegant transition into the grand dining experience.
As attendees entered the seating area, pedestal dancers welcomed them while rooftop dancers performed above the glass structure, creating movement both within and above the room. The effect was immersive, almost cinematic, giving guests the feeling of stepping inside a luxury production rather than attending a conventional birthday celebration.
A Carefully Layered Celebration Experience
The evening’s programming flowed with precision.
The celebration opened with the grand entrance of Dr. Ofori Sarpong and his family, followed by emotional tribute speeches from family, friends, and PRESEC representatives. Shortly after, the energy shifted as DJ Vyrusky launched the first dance segment of the night.
From there, the event evolved into a full-scale entertainment showcase.
Samba dancers energized the crowd before live performances from Akwaboah and Kwabena Kwabena filled the venue with soulful highlife sounds. Throughout dinner service, guests enjoyed curated cuisine from Food Bank Ghana and Menscookgh while live music continued in the background.
One of the most memorable moments came during the cake-cutting ceremony. With celebratory flares lighting the room and music swelling across the venue, the atmosphere became electric. The emotional high continued as performances from Becca, Kojo Antwi, Samini, and Stonebwoy turned the night into a full celebration concert experience.
The Rolls-Royce Reveal and Fireworks Finale
Among the night’s biggest highlights was the unveiling of a customized 2026 Rolls-Royce Cullinan Mansory edition, which immediately became one of the event’s most viral moments online.
As midnight approached, guests were guided outdoors for a grand fireworks display that crowned the evening with explosive brilliance. Music swelled, cameras flashed, and the sky above the museum became the final canvas of the night.
A Defining Moment for Luxury Events in Ghana
Social media reactions following the event praised not only the scale of the celebration, but the level of sophistication behind its execution. Many described the birthday as one of the most luxurious private events Ghana has seen in recent years.
For INEN Events (www.inenportfolio.com), the celebration represented more than event planning. It was an exercise in immersive storytelling, experiential design, and luxury production.
Under Christal Beeko’s creative leadership, the team transformed a milestone birthday into a multi-sensory experience where décor, entertainment, lighting, music, and movement worked together seamlessly.
At the Despite Automobile Museum, every corner told a story. Every transition carried intention. And every guest became part of the spectacle.

Kwahu Business Forum Thrives On A Land Of Natural Entrepreneurs: Why The Mountain People Were Built For Business
There is a saying in Ghana that if you want to find a businessperson, look for a Kwahu man or woman. It is not a stereotype. It is a cultural truth etched into the very fabric of the mountain communities that overlook the eastern plains.
When the Kwahu Business Forum (KBF) launched in 2024, some wondered if a business gathering in a holiday town could rival Accra’s corporate events. Three editions later, with over 1,000 entrepreneurs attending, banks sealing multi-million cedi deals, and plans for a permanent convention centre and airstrip, the answer is clear: the Forum succeeded because it sits on soil that already breathes commerce. This is heritage and not mere luck.
‘Have you seen a Kwahu man begging before?’
Every Kwahu child grows up with a certain kind of fire. In an interview, one Kwahu businessman recalled his mother’s constant refrain: “Have you seen a Kwahu man begging before?”
That single question, repeated through childhood, became a lifelong compass. Begging was not an option. Hard work, trade, and self-reliance were the only paths.
Many others from Kwahu recount similar upbringings. Parents who sold everything from textiles to provisions in Accra’s markets would return home to Kwahu with stories of profit, loss, and resilience. The children watched. They learned. They internalised the lesson that no one owes you a living , you go out and create it.
This entrepreneurial DNA explains why the Kwahu Business Forum did not need to teach Kwahu people and the larger Ghanaian community how to do business. It simply gave them a bigger stage.
The man behind the vision: Julius Debrah, a son of Kwahu
It is no coincidence that the Forum’s co-founder and driving force, Chief of Staff Julius Debrah, hails from Kwahu. A proud son of the mountains, he understood instinctively that his people did not need charity. They needed connections, capital, and a platform.
Under his leadership alongside President John Dramani Mahama, the Kwahu Business Forum has become exactly that: a deal-making machine where local entrepreneurs meet banks, investors, and policymakers. The Chief of Staff’s Kwahu roots are not simply a footnote, they are the reason the Forum feels authentic rather than imposed.
The mountain mansions that rival East Legon and Trasacco Valley
Drive up the winding roads to Kwahu during Easter or any major holiday, and you will see something startling. Perched on the ridges are homes that would not look out of place in Accra’s most exclusive neighbourhoods. Modern architecture, manicured lawns, and gates that speak of serious wealth.
Visitors often remark: “I thought I was in East Legon or Trasacco Valley.”
That is because Kwahu people do not only succeed in business; they return home to show it. The houses on the mountain are monuments to decades of trading, entrepreneurship, and reinvestment. From retail in Accra to real estate in Tema, from transport to manufacturing, Kwahu businesspeople have quietly built an economic empire.
And now, that empire has a permanent home: the Kwahu Business Forum.
Why the Forum’s success was inevitable
Three factors made Kwahu the perfect host:
- A culture of self-starter. Kwahu children are raised to trade, not to wait. The Forum simply accelerates what is already happening organically.
- A diaspora with money and influence. The Kwahu business diaspora, spread across Ghana and beyond, is eager to invest back home. The Forum gives them a structured entry point.
- A location that symbolises ambition. Holding a business forum on a mountain, away from the convenience of Accra, sends a message: if you want to succeed, you climb.
More than a forum: a movement
The Kwahu Business Forum is not just another calendar event. It is a recognition that Ghana’s economic future will be built by its people, especially those from communities that have always understood the value of enterprise.
As that Kwahu mother told her son all those years ago: “Have you seen a Kwahu man begging before?”
No, madam. We have not.
And thanks to the Kwahu Business Forum, even fewer will ever need to.

Breaking News: Media Campaign Targets Nigerian Northern Governor Amid Scandal
A major media campaign is set to launch this week, targeting a northern governor at the center of a shocking scandal. Allegations have surfaced accusing a northern governor of knowingly infecting multiple women with a virus, leading to widespread outrage and demands for accountability.
The scandal took a dramatic turn when one of the governor’s wives separated from him.
The upcoming media campaign, spearheaded by a coalition of advocacy groups and media organizations, aims to bring the full extent of Governor’s alleged misconduct to light. The campaign will feature testimonies from victims, detailed reports, and calls for legal action against the governor.
This northern governor, who has held office for half a decade, has yet to respond to the latest accusations. His administration has been under scrutiny for its handling of health and safety protocols, but these new revelations have intensified public and political pressure.
Advocacy groups leading the campaign have emphasized the importance of justice and support for the victims. “This is about more than just one man’s actions; it’s about ensuring that no one else falls victim to such abuse of power,” said Rachel Obi, a spokesperson for the coalition. “We will not rest until said governor is held accountable.”
As the media campaign prepares to launch, the political fallout is expected to be significant. Legal experts suggest that the governor could face criminal charges if the allegations are substantiated. Meanwhile, public protests and calls for his resignation are likely to grow louder.
The governor’s office has declined to comment on the specific allegations, stating only that the governor “categorically denies any wrongdoing.” However, with his wife’s departure and the impending media storm, his position appears increasingly untenable.
This scandal has not only rocked the governor’s administration but also highlighted broader issues of abuse of power and accountability in public office. As the story unfolds, all eyes will be on how the political and legal systems respond to these grave accusations.
