Outspoken Ghanaian media personality, Blessed Godsbrain Smart, popularly known as Captain Smart, has announced his decision to end his stay with Onua TV.

Speaking on his popular “Onua Maakye” show aired on August 7, 2026, Captain Smart officially announced his resignation from the station.

According to Captain Smart, he has resigned to focus on other endeavours, adding that he does not intend to return to the station.

“I want to withdraw. I have officially resigned. This isn’t going to be the case where I will come back again. The bosses here may not agree, but I have done my part. I want the man who mic’d me to come and take off my microphone on air,” he said.

Captain Smart additionally noted that his decision to resign was partly motivated by his desire to focus on humanitarian work.
