Bless Seckloawu, popularly known as Papaga Bless, is a multiple award-winning Ghanaian Forex Trader, Digital Media Strategist, Entrepreneur, Blogger, and Sustainable Development advocate. With more than a decade of experience in digital media management, he has built a reputation as one of Ghana’s leading digital innovators, combining expertise in media, technology, finance, and youth development to create lasting impact across Africa.
Bless is the Co-Founder of Vim Buzz Media, one of Ghana’s fastest-growing digital media companies, whose portfolio includes Vim Buzz, Celebrities Buzz, and Vim Forex Blog. Collectively, these platforms reach millions of people every month through entertainment news, celebrity updates, business stories, and financial education. Under his leadership, Vim Forex has grown into a trusted platform dedicated to forex trading education, broker reviews, market analysis, and financial literacy for aspiring traders across Africa.
His influence within Ghana’s digital media ecosystem has earned widespread recognition. He has been ranked among Avance Media’s Top 50 Ghanaian Bloggers in 2019, 2020, 2022, and 2023, achieving Top 5 positions on each occasion alongside some of Ghana’s most respected digital publishers. His outstanding contributions to media have also earned him a nomination for Blogger of the Year at the 2024 Foklex Media Awards and a nomination at the 2020 Radio and Television Personalities (RTP) Awards.
Beyond media, Bless has established himself as a dedicated forex trader and mentor. His trading journey began in 2023 after being inspired by videos from African trading personalities Sandile Shezi and Kojo Forex, while receiving his foundational trading education from his younger brother, Courage Seckloawu. Motivated by the desire for financial freedom, he immersed himself in mastering the markets through disciplined learning and practical experience. It is worth noting that Bless got more clarity of the forex market after receiving mentorship from Miekel Oheneba-Dornyo, affectionately known as Sir Miekel, the CEO of KingdomPips FX.
Today, Bless specializes in day trading, focusing primarily on XAUUSD (Gold) and Volatility Indices. His trading approach is rooted in liquidity concepts, market structure, order blocks, supply and demand, and trendline analysis. He emphasizes disciplined execution and capital preservation over aggressive risk-taking, following a strict personal rule of ending his trading day after two consecutive losing trades. Through mentorship, online education, and digital content, he has guided more than 1,000 traders, helping them develop the discipline and mindset required for long-term consistency.
Bless believes that successful trading is less about chasing large profits and more about mastering discipline, patience, and risk management. One of the most important lessons he shares is that traders should never place the burden of their financial problems on small trading accounts, as doing so often leads to emotional decision-making, overtrading, and unnecessary losses. His philosophy encourages aspiring traders to celebrate consistent progress, embrace continuous learning, and build wealth gradually.
Outside the financial markets, Bless is deeply committed to sustainable development, climate advocacy, entrepreneurship, and youth empowerment. He currently serves as a Project Officer at Opportunity International, where he supports programs that provide agricultural education, financial inclusion, and business development opportunities for more than 20,000 farmers across Ghana’s Volta Region. His work focuses on strengthening rural livelihoods through capacity building and sustainable agricultural practices.
Bless was also the Volunteer Podcast Host for the Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN), Ghana, where he leverages his digital communication expertise to lead conversations on climate change, environmental sustainability, and climate action. In recognition of his commitment to environmental advocacy, he was named Most Interactive Climate Activist by CDKN Ghana in 2024.
His passion for creating social impact extends into mental health advocacy, where he serves as the Social Media Manager for Clubhouse Rehabilitation Centre, a mental health facility based in Pantang, Accra. Through strategic digital communication, he helps raise awareness about mental health while promoting rehabilitation and social inclusion.
Bless’s professional expertise spans WordPress Web Development, Search Engine Optimization (SEO), Social Media Consultancy, Digital Media Management, Content Strategy, Forex Trading, and Cybersecurity. He is also a Google Certified Cybersecurity Analyst, reflecting his commitment to continuous professional development and digital excellence.
His career began in education after graduating from Akatsi College of Education with a Diploma in Basic Education. He later served with the Ghana Education Service between 2019 and 2021 before transitioning full-time into entrepreneurship to establish Vim Buzz Media. He subsequently earned a Bachelor of Education in Information Technology from the University of Cape Coast, strengthening his expertise in technology, education, and digital innovation.
Throughout his career, Bless has remained passionate about knowledge sharing. As a speaker, trainer, and mentor, he has addressed numerous conferences, workshops, and youth empowerment programs, teaching professionals and aspiring entrepreneurs how to leverage digital media, technology, and online platforms to build sustainable careers and businesses.
In 2020, he partnered with DUBAWA, a leading West African fact-checking initiative, to combat misinformation during Ghana’s general elections by supporting efforts to reduce the spread of false information across digital platforms.
Outside his professional commitments, Bless enjoys watching movies, reading, and cooking. His favorite books include Naked Forex, No Excuses! by Brian Tracy, and the Holy Bible.
Looking to the future, Bless’s vision is to become one of Africa’s most influential forex traders while expanding Vim Forex into one of the continent’s leading financial media platforms. Through education, technology, entrepreneurship, and digital innovation, he remains committed to equipping individuals with the knowledge and opportunities they need to build financial independence and create meaningful impact within their communities.
