    We now have a new Funny Face – Kofi Adoma Nwanwani

    Ghanaian comedian Funny Face in a heartfelt video shared on Kofi TV, humbly asked for forgiveness from everyone he has hurt.

    Starting with his mother, he knelt down to seek her forgiveness, expressing deep regret for his past actions.

    A remorseful Funny Face told his mother: “I know I have caused you a lot of pain. I know you have been devastated by the news and the incident that happened lately. Please forgive me. You said a certain prayer for me before I became Funny Face. I want you to say that same prayer for me again.”

    His mother, who became teary, hugged and comforted him.

    The comic actor, his mother, and some family members then moved on to the accident victims.

    He visited the older woman who was knocked down together with two kids on the day of the incident.

    The woman, still on admission at the hospital, received Funny Face and his entourage.

    He knelt before her and pleaded for forgiveness while explaining his side of the story.

    Prior to Funny Face’s visit, it’s worth noting that he had covered all her hospital expenses, along with those of other victims, during his time in prison.

    Funny Face extended his plea for forgiveness to all those he has wronged, acknowledging his mistakes and expressing a sincere desire to make amends.

    He announced a new chapter in his life, committed to positive change and seeking support from his fans and the public to help cover the medical expenses of accident victims.

    Funny Face was granted bail on Tuesday, April 9, 2024, after spending two weeks in police custody.

    This was after his vehicle rammed into five persons on the Kasoa highway, a situation which resulted in the victims sustaining severe injuries.

    The Kasoa-Akweley District Court granted Funny Face bail in the sum of GH¢120,000 with two sureties.

    He is expected to reappear in court in four weeks as investigations into the accident continue.

    Move on with your life and forgive yourself – Mother of accident victims to Funny Face

    Ghanaian comedian and actor Funny Face, also known as Benson Nana Yaw Oduro, received a heartfelt message from the mother of the two children who were struck by his vehicle.

    Despite the distress caused by the incident, she urged Funny Face to forgive himself and move forward.

    In a touching video captured by KofiTV during Funny Face’s visit to the children after being granted bail, the mother emphasised the need for self-forgiveness to avoid sinking deeper into depression.

    She encouraged him to find solace, reflect on his life, and reconnect with his faith.

    “The kids are fine but I want you to forgive yourself else you will be more depressed. Comfort yourself, move on with your life, and draw closer to God. Sit down and analyse yourself. Maybe before you became Funny Face, you were very close to God but after the fame, you departed from God,” the mother of the kids said in a video captured by KofiTV.

    During the conversation, Funny Face, accompanied by his mother, uncle, and Kofi Adomah, expressed his emotional turmoil following the accident.

    He revealed moments of despair, including a shocking revelation that he had contemplated suicide at the scene, overwhelmed by the false belief that he had caused the children’s deaths.

    The incident, which occurred on the Kasoa highway, led to severe injuries for multiple individuals, prompting Funny Face’s arrest and subsequent release on bail.

    The court granted him bail of GH¢120,000 with two sureties, setting a date for his next court appearance in four weeks as investigations into the accident progress.

    The tragic event, marked by allegations of drunk driving and excessive speed, has left a profound impact on Funny Face and the affected families, underscoring the importance of accountability and healing in its aftermath.

    I was forced to sell some properties to finance my kidney treatment – Erico

    Gospel artist Erico recently opened up about a challenging period in his life that led him to pause his music career temporarily.

    He revealed that he faced a serious kidney disease diagnosis that almost cost him his life, prompting him to make difficult choices.

    Due to his health condition, Erico had to step away from music to focus on treatment and recovery.

    He shared that he had to sell some of his belongings to cover medical expenses and afford necessary medication to combat the illness and ensure his survival.

    “Those times when I had kidney issues, it was the reason I stopped singing at some point in time. I had a serious problem, so my friends were taking my drugs from the hospital for me. I was lucky because I was diagnosed earlier by a herbal hospital at M Plaza.

    “Because the drugs were expensive, I had to sell some of my properties to fund it. I had to go to a lot of hospitals while seeking to overcome the sickness,” he said during an interview with Emelia Brobbey on the Okukuseku show.

    In an interview with Emelia Brobbey on the Okukuseku show, Erico expressed gratitude for overcoming kidney disease with the help of medical intervention and divine intervention.

    He is now back to his usual routine and is thankful for the journey towards recovery.

  • MOG put me on an event flyer but did not call me to perform – Edward Akwasi Boateng claims

    Renowned gospel artist Edward Akwasi Boateng has voiced his disappointment over MOGmusic‘s failure to honour a financial commitment he made to support him.

    Boateng revealed that MOGmusic had pledged financial assistance during a public announcement but did not follow through, even at a recent event where they were both present.

    Boateng recounted that he was prominently featured on promotional material for the event in Kumasi, with promises of support from MOGmusic.

    However, during the program, MOGmusic neither acknowledged him nor fulfilled the promised assistance.

    Despite efforts to reach out, Boateng mentioned that he has not received any communication from MOGmusic since.

    Speaking in an interview with Zionfelix, Edward noted that he has not heard from MOGmusic again.

    “I was placed on the flyer for the show, indicating that he would support me during the programme but he never did. I went to greet him after the show, but he [MOGmusic] didn’t say anything,” he said.

    This disappointment comes amid recent challenges faced by Boateng, including the loss of significant assets due to personal struggles, as highlighted by a viral video showing him selling pen drives and CDs.

    However, support has also poured in from various quarters, with Prophet Benard El Benard Nelson–Eshun offering a car and educational scholarships, and contributions from fans and well-wishers totaling GHC60,000.

    Boateng, once a prominent figure in Ghanaian gospel music with significant success and financial stability, has faced setbacks in recent years but remains hopeful for better days ahead.

  • Court orders Mohbad’s wife to produce DNA test on son

    Court orders Mohbad’s wife to produce DNA test on son

    The Chief Magistrate Court in Ikorodu has granted approval to serve a DNA test notice regarding the late singer Ileriouluwa Oladimeji Aloba, also known as Mohbad‘s son, to his wife, Wumi, at her last known address.

    The decision came after Emmanuel Oroko, leading the legal team for the Aloba family, informed the court that attempts to deliver the court documents for the DNA test on her son by the Sheriff had failed twice.

    Consequently, the Chief Magistrate directed that Wunmi be served by posting the court documents at her last known address.

    This information was disclosed in a statement signed by Monoplane Odumosu, a member of the legal team representing the Aloba family, and obtained by PUNCH, a news outlet in Nigeria.

    Odumosu mentioned, “If the process were served on the last-known address of the respondent by Order of the Court, it would constitute good service, and she would be aware of the pending suit. The Chief Magistrate granted the order and ordered that the respondent be served by posting the court process on her last known address.”

    “It will be recalled that the Aloba family is contesting the paternity of baby Liam and filed an application before the Family Court, seeking an order of the court against Wunmi to present herself and baby Liam for a DNA test at any recognized laboratory in Lagos,” the statement added.

    MohBad, whose birth name was Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, gained recognition as a Nigerian rapper, singer, and songwriter from Lagos. He initially rose to prominence under Naira Marley’s Marlian Records but parted ways with the label in 2022.
    MohBad and his spouse, Omawunmi, welcomed their son in April 2023. Tragically, MohBad passed away at the age of 27 on September 12, 2023, following treatment for an infection administered by an unlicensed nurse, who was subsequently apprehended.

    During the interview, Erico disclosed the painful discovery of his wife’s infidelity, which unfolded amidst his battle with kidney disease.

    Recounting the moment, Erico said, “I pretended to be asleep on the bed while she was on the couch. I heard the camera clicking multiple times and assumed she was taking photos of me in my vulnerable state. However, when I glanced over, I realised she was naked and sending the photos to a man she was talking to on the phone. I overheard her telling him that if he was lusting over her photos, he should wait until she showed him proper ‘bedmatics’.”

    Illegal miners risk lives by digging under new gas pipelines – Genser Board Chair warns

    Chairman of Genser Energy, Nana Otwasuom Osae Nyampong VI has raised alarm over illegal mining activities threatening newly laid gas pipelines in the Ashanti region, as reported by Citi News.

    Nyampong emphasised the immediate necessity for intervention, calling on local Chiefs to educate their communities about the hazards posed by these activities.

    He highlighted the dangerous risk to both miners’ lives and the integrity of the gas pipeline project.

    According to Nyampong, the miners’ excavation activities near the gas pipelines, combined with the presence of flammable gas, create an explosive potential.

    “Those on the right of way have begun prospecting for minerals along our gas pipelines, simply put galamseyers have begun digging under our pipeline to see if they can strike its reach overnight, it is a very dangerous enterprise because when you are digging, you are using some force and a little sparkle of fire may touch the gas and you will lose your life with the explosion that will happen.

    “We will appeal to the Chiefs who own these lands on the right of way to educate their citizenry that there is no gain saying that you are going to look for gold and you may not come back home. You shouldn’t exchange your life for wealth which you may not even get,” Nana Otwasuom Osae Nyampong VI stated.

    He urged residents to prioritise safety over potential gains and refrain from risking their lives in pursuit of uncertain wealth.

    In related news, Genser Energy expressed gratitude to stakeholders involved in the successful construction of a 110-kilometre natural gas pipeline.

    This infrastructure will power the 250-megawatt Kumasi 1 Thermal Power Plant (K1TPP) and future plants, marking a significant milestone in Ghana’s power sector.

    The Anwomaso Gas Pipeline, comprising 12,000 steel pipes imported from the US, spans from Prestea to Anwomaso.

    This project, in collaboration with the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC), aims to bolster Ghana’s power sector and provide affordable energy for regional industries.

    Winner of Mentor Season 3, Erico has unveiled a startling truth about Ghanaian pastors, claiming that many of them lead double lives.

    In a recent revelation, he recounted an incident with an unnamed pastor, alleging deceitful behaviour.

    During his encounter, Erico claimed to have caught the pastor in a compromising situation with his secretary.

    “I walked in on a pastor having a good time with his secretary on his desk. The lady had her back turned backwards whilst the pastor was feasting, knowing very well his wife was waiting for him outside,” Erico disclosed.

    Despite witnessing the infidelity, Erico admitted to accepting a bribe from the pastor to remain silent.

    “The pastor gave me a bribe to silence me. I accepted because it was none of my business,” he stated.

    This revelation has sparked discussions about the trustworthiness of pastors and the hidden aspects of their lives.

    According to Erico, individuals should exercise caution and not blindly trust pastors, as they may lead double lives.

    Ghana music industry is fast food paced; you need to be working 24/7 – Kofi Jamar

    Renowned rapper behind hits like “Ekorso” and “Mi Dey Up,” Kofi Jamar has recently disclosed the reasons behind his hiatus from music, describing it as an unplanned phase prompted by life’s challenges.

    In an exclusive interview with Mr Lion on Class 91.3 FM’s drive-time show, Jamar candidly shared his struggles, stating, “It wasn’t intentional but life happens, you know.”

    The artist expressed feelings of depression and sadness during this period, revealing that his forthcoming single “Bold” delves into some of the touching moments he faced.

    “As an artist, my greatest fear is feeling stagnant,” Jamar expressed, emphasizing his strong connection to music as a medium of communication and self-expression.

    Reflecting on Ghana’s music industry, he lamented its fast-paced nature, where constant visibility and engagement on platforms like social media are deemed essential for relevance.

    “Ghana’s music industry is “fast-food paced” and demands one to be “up in people’s face” all the time by, for instance, being hyperactive on social media, else “it’s hard [getting] back into the game.”

    The rapper hinted at personal setbacks that hindered his music releases, citing a period of introspection while in America as crucial for reconnecting with his artistic essence.

    “I had to connect with myself and see why I started this music thing in the first place,” he revealed, highlighting the importance of clarity and purpose in his journey.

    Amidst challenges of perceived lack of support and fluctuating industry dynamics, Jamar expressed newfound wisdom and resilience.

    “I’ve come out of that fire renewed and refreshed,” he declared, shedding light on his evolved perspective that embraces vulnerability and authenticity over perfectionism.

    Addressing the global appeal of his music, Jamar confidently stated, “My music is not just meant for Ghana, it’s meant for the world.”

    This sentiment echoes his artistic vision and determination to transcend boundaries with his craft.

    The hiatus, though challenging, seems to have provided Jamar with invaluable insights and a renewed sense of purpose as he prepares to re-enter the music scene with his upcoming single and future projects.

    Gospel musician and season 3 winner of Mentor fame Eric Oduro, known as Erico, has opened up about the startling cause behind his divorce, shedding light on his ex-wife’s betrayal involving nude photos sent to a lover in Dubai.

    In an exclusive interview on Emelia Brobbey’s Okukuseku show, Erico disclosed the breakdown of trust that led to the dissolution of his marriage.

    He recounted discovering his wife’s infidelity when he feigned a terminal illness to test her loyalty during his battle with kidney disease.

    Initially supportive, Erico’s wife took a dramatic turn, engaging in explicit conversations and sharing intimate photos with her lover while he was in the same room.

    “I was on the bed pretending to be asleep and she was on the couch. I heard the camera clicking multiple times and I thought she was taking photos of me in my vulnerable state. However, when I turned, I realized she was naked and sending the photos to a man whom she was talking to on phone. I heard her tell him if he if ‘he was lusting over her photos, he should wait till she shows him proper bedmatics”.

    The final blow came when Erico, pretending to sleep, witnessed his wife sending nude pictures and promising marriage to her Dubai lover, under the false assumption of Erico’s imminent demise.

    Confronting her and prioritizing his well-being, Erico made the difficult decision to leave their home and end the marriage, focusing now on his gospel ministry after a successful recovery.

  • GPRTU advocates for 30% increase in transportation fares

    The Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU) is pushing for a 30% increase in transport fares.

    Deputy Public Relations Officer, Samuel Amoah highlighted ongoing discussions with the Transport Ministry, emphasizing the need to alleviate the financial strain on drivers while ensuring sustainable service delivery.

    This proposal marks a shift from GPRTU’s previous attempt at a 20% fare hike, which was rejected earlier due to procedural issues.

    Amoah expressed optimism that the Ministry would recognize the urgency of fare adjustments to support transport operators and maintain essential services.

    “The Ministry therefore invited us for a conversation, an invitation we accepted and presented all our reasons for the 20 percent increment. Even at that time, the fuel price wasn’t as it is now.

    “The 20 percent we came up with earlier, we considered the cost of spare parts, lubricants, and DVLA and Insurance taxes.

    “Those were the major components that we focused on to come up with the 20 percent increment.

    “Our expectation on Wednesday is that, surely the Transport Ministry will agree with us so that we can increase the fares for our drivers to have peace of mind to continue serving the nation.”

  • “I ignore a lot of things” – Jacinta on how she handles challenges


    Renowned comedian Jacinta Ocansey, known as the Queen of Ghana Comedy, has opened up about her strategies for handling challenges in her career.

    During an interview with Joy Entertainment’s Becky, Jacinta discussed her approach to dealing with obstacles.

    She emphasised that her experience has taught her the importance of ignoring many challenges that come her way.

    “I think I have been around long enough to know that I need to ignore a lot of things. So I have learned to ignore a lot of things. Either I’m cracking jokes about them or I’m ignoring them,” she explained.

    This perspective reflects a broader issue within the creative industry, where individuals often struggle to share their problems, leading to potential mental health issues such as depression.

    Jacinta’s career highlights include performances at prestigious comedy shows in Ghana and Nigeria, such as Comedy Night with Buchi (Lagos), Shakara and the Gang (Lagos), Comedy Express, Girl Talk, Laughline, Live Comedy Thursdays, and Lord of the Ribs, among others.

  • Woman fails to get job for not wearing makeup

    Woman fails to get job for not wearing makeup

    Job hunting is often a daunting task for many, and the disappointment of being turned down after what seemed like a promising opportunity can sting even more.

    Such was the experience of one woman who was rejected for a job, not for her qualifications or skills, but allegedly because she didn’t wear makeup to the interview.

    Melissa Weaver, a TikTok user, shared her story in a viral video where she expressed her shock and confusion.

    “I interviewed for a job earlier this week,” she explained to her viewers. “The interview went so well. Every question she had, I had a great answer for. I used to work in recruitment. I know how to interview.”

    Despite a successful interview where she felt she was a perfect fit for the position of vice president, she received an email stating she wouldn’t be moving forward in the process.

    “I get an email from the recruiter saying that I’m not going to be moving on to the next round,” Weaver said. “I was really bummed because I wanted the job, but I was also very confused.”

    Weaver reached out to the recruiter for feedback and was informed that while her background, experience, and alignment with the company’s values were all commendable, the lack of effort in her appearance, specifically not wearing makeup, was a concern for the level of the role she applied for.

    “She said that while my background was exactly what they were looking for, my experience lined up with what they need for the position, and my own personal goals and values aligned with the company’s, she was concerned that for my interview, I hadn’t put enough effort in my appearance given the level of role I was interviewing for.

    “I don’t really wear a lot of makeup. Not to be quirky, I just don’t,” she explained, stating that she had interviewed for a vice president position.

    The incident sparked discussions about societal expectations and biases, with many pointing out the unfairness of such judgments, especially in professional settings.

    While some suggested legal action, Weaver opted not to pursue that route, focusing instead on continuing her job search.

    The story serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by women in the workforce and the importance of addressing biases and discriminatory practices.

    I had an existing brand before I married Hopeson Adorye – Empress Gifty tells critics

    Gospel music sensation Gifty Adorye, widely known as Empress Gifty in gospel music circles, has firmly denied assertions that her husband’s political influence played a pivotal role in revitalizing her music career.

    Contrary to rumors, she stated that she had already solidified her reputation as one of the top gospel artists in the country prior to her marriage.

    She emphasized that her artistic evolution was independent of her union with a political figure.

    While acknowledging her husband’s supportive role since their marriage, particularly in navigating certain aspects of her career, she stressed that her success was built on her own merits.

    During an interview with MX24TV as reported by GhanaWeb, Empress Gifty addressed the claims head-on.

    When asked about the perception that her visibility surged due to her marriage to a politician, she calmly responded, “I was Empress Gifty before I met my husband [Hopeson Adorye]. I always say that he was the icing on the cake. My brand was already at its peak before I got married.”

    She further elucidated, “So, when I hear people talk about my marriage to a politician impacting my life, it does not bother me. I see my husband as the head, and I give him the respect due because I need love and attention. I don’t add what my husband does to my career; it’s not part of my ministry.”

    A prominent figure in the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has emphasized the significance of thoughtful partner selection.

    Otchere-Darko highlighted the essence of mutual appreciation and value addition in relationships, urging individuals to assess the qualities they admire in their prospective life partners.

    His insights, shared via a Facebook post on April 16, 2024, underscored the importance of recognizing and cherishing the unique attributes that enhance the partnership, promoting a deeper understanding of love and companionship.

    He submitted his views in light of recent remarks by Pastor Elvis Agyemang cautioning against marrying women with superiority complexes.

    “A man and a woman become a couple because there are things about each other that the other values/cherishes/appreciates and by teaming up, it makes the partner/spouse better.

    “Take your time, reflect and evaluate, look at all that you like about your other half, the things that they do that you may even take for granted, at home, at work, and begin listing the many things that they are better in than you. It may not have a price tag, but likely to be priceless. Don’t be blind to them.

    “It is what partnership is all about; value addition in more ways than we may care to admit. Some call it love. Others simply see it as a way of life if not the way of life,” he said in a Facebook post on April 16, 2024.

    Most Ghanaian musicians are very timid; they aren’t proactive – Nana Ashis on TGMA errors

    Artiste manager, Nana Poku Ashis, has weighed in on the recent inclusion of rapper Amerado’s song “Kwaku Ananse” in the Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA) nominee list.

    His reaction comes after Amerado’s successful petition to have his song recognized in multiple categories.

    During a live discussion on Hitz FM, Ashis emphasised the importance of Ghanaian creatives standing up for themselves when faced with injustices.

    He lamented the tendency of many musicians to remain silent even when they know they are right, labelling them as ‘timid’ in addressing issues affecting them.

    Ashis urged musicians to be proactive in addressing matters that concern them, citing Amerado’s case as a prime example of how advocating for oneself can lead to positive outcomes.

    He highlighted the need for artists to make their voices heard and not allow errors to go uncorrected due to silence.

    “A lot of musicians are very timid. They know what’s right, or they have the facts to back their case. But most of them just stay behind. You need to make a case for yourself at all times.

    “This has shed light on a typical example of how some of these musicians (if they feel things are going wrong) should act.

    “It’s not about fighting, it’s not about insults. Make a case for yourself, and the right quarters will hear it.

    “Amerado has shown the way. If others also feel something unjust has been done to them, I think they should also come up and make a case for themselves.

    “You know, there are times when you see the blatant mistakes, but because it’s just pundits talking and the artists themselves are not making a case to start, it gets to slide like that,” Nana Ashis stated.

    The TGMA board recently made updates to the nomination list following petitions from several artists, including Amerado.

    As a result, Amerado’s song “Kwaku Ananse” will now compete in both the Best Highlife Song and Most Popular Song of the Year categories, with the original version replacing the remix.

    Additionally, the joint project “Lonely Road” by O’Kenneth & Xlim Kid received proper recognition after the review.
    Ashis’s comments underscore a broader call for Ghanaian musicians to speak up against injustices and actively advocate for their rights within the music industry.

    Nigerian socialite Cubana Chief Priest charged by court for Naira abuse

    Nigerian socialite and businessman Cubana Chief Priest, known offstage as Pascal Okechukwu, found himself in legal turmoil as he faced charges of banknote abuse.

    During his recent court appearance, Chief Priest pleaded not guilty to three counts of the alleged offence, which authorities claim occurred during various social events where he threw money into the air.

    The act, commonly referred to as “spraying,” is a customary practice at Nigerian celebrations like weddings.

    However, it has garnered legal attention due to concerns about the mishandling of banknotes, which can be trampled upon when they fall to the ground.

    The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Nigeria’s premier anti-crime agency, has intensified efforts to curb what they term “all forms of naira abuse.”

    This crackdown has already seen repercussions for other public figures like internet personality Bobrisky, who recently received a prison sentence for a similar offence.

    Chief Priest’s case adds to a growing list of high-profile individuals facing legal consequences for banknote-related misconduct.

    Despite the charges, Chief Priest maintains his innocence, setting the stage for a legal battle over the controversial tradition of “spraying” money at festive gatherings.
