Mfidie is a Ghanaian technology media outlet that covers the everyday digital life of Ghanaians through news, service journalism and practical guides. Established as a blog in 2017 by Shepherd Yaw Morttey after growing from a 2015 Q&A community, it publishes reporting and explainers on gadgets, mobile networks, digital payments and fintech, social media, gaming and emerging African startups. The outlet’s mission is to make technology accessible to the average reader and to tell Ghana’s tech stories to the wider world.
Its coverage blends quick how‑to tutorials—such as mobile money, smartphone settings and telco tips—with local tech news and product reviews aimed at first‑time and intermediate users. Regular sections focus on Ghana’s major carriers (MTN, Vodafone and others), e‑commerce and app‑based services, reflecting how people actually use technology across the country. Mfidie works with a distributed team of contributors, combining volunteer and freelance writers who produce original reporting and opinion pieces.
The publication has built a sizable audience for Ghana-focused tech content. By January 2021, it reported serving more than 5.5 million users and 22.5 million page views since launch, following 2.5 million users at its third anniversary in 2020. It continues to cover new policies, startups and digital tools shaping life in Ghana and across Africa, positioning itself as a go‑to source for practical tech guidance as well as local industry updates.
