Renowned Ghanaian media figure Blessed Godsbrain Smart, widely recognized as Captain Smart, has left many astonished with his surprising announcement made on his birthday. The esteemed broadcaster, who marked his birthday on May 5, 2025, revealed during his program Onua Maakye on Onua TV that he would be taking a hiatus from his professional duties. The candid presenter did not clarify whether this departure from Media General was permanent, but expressed confidence in his capable colleagues, stating that he felt comfortable stepping away from his role knowing they could manage in his absence. 'I am taking a break. I cannot specify when I will return. I might come back, or I might not. I am finished. I extend my gratitude to everyone I have collaborated with here – from the camera operators to the technical staff and the sales team. Each of you has shown me immense kindness. I have fulfilled my responsibilities. With God's grace and the talented individuals we have employed, I believe JB and Tagor can carry on. That is why I brought JB on board. By God's grace, we will reunite at some point.' 'Whenever you are assigned a task, execute it with diligence. Depart when the applause is at its peak. I want you to feel my absence, so I am finished. JB can take over; he is more than capable. I will provide any necessary information to guide you into the new Ghana.' Captain Smart mentioned that he intends to use this time for reflection and self-examination. 'I must express my gratitude and love for your support from June 1, 2001, to May 5, 2025. I departed from Angel FM on May 5, coinciding with my birthday. I am stepping away. God bless you all,' he concluded.
