    Controversial Ghanaian socialite and mental health advocate Abena Korkor has shed light on the substantial weekly allowance she once received from her former partner.

    Korkor revealed that her ex-boyfriend was generously providing her with GHS 20,000 per week, allowing her to make significant life changes.

    In an intriguing twist, she disclosed that a portion of the funds was invested in an undisclosed business venture.

    Surprisingly, the mental health advocate unveiled that she entered the adult industry, specifically selling intimate products such as bedroom toys.

    The income generated from this endeavour not only fueled her entrepreneurial ambitions but also contributed to securing a rental apartment.

    Prior to this financial arrangement, Korkor emphasized her independence, highlighting that she used to cover her monthly rent on her own.

    The newfound financial stability, she shared, even enabled her to pay a full year’s rent in advance.

    Bawumia cannot be trusted; forget his empty promises – Oboy Siki

    Popular Kumasi-based actor, Oboy Siki, has voiced scepticism regarding Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia’s recent address outlining his vision for Ghana.

    In a radio interview on Angel FM, the comic-actor urged Ghanaians not to take Bawumia’s promises and initiatives seriously, asserting that the Vice President cannot be trusted.

    According to Oboy Siki, Bawumia’s commitment to eliminating certain taxes introduced by the Akufo-Addo-led government, of which he is a part, amounts to a betrayal of “his father” (President Akufo-Addo).

    “Bawumia is a liar, he can really lie, Bawumia cannot be trusted, they have failed to live up to their promise of reducing taxes,” Oboy Siki stated.

    The actor conveyed this sentiment, cautioning the public to view Bawumia’s declarations with scepticism.

    Bawumia presented his vision on Wednesday, February 6, 2024, during a public lecture at the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA).

    Despite the Vice President outlining several initiatives he plans to undertake if elected as President in the upcoming December 7, 2024, general elections, Oboy Siki remains unconvinced, casting doubt on the credibility of Bawumia’s promises for the nation’s future.

  • Former US soldier calls for ‘recolonisation’ of African countries in viral video

    Former US soldier calls for ‘recolonisation’ of African countries in viral video

    The former Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the controversial private security firm Blackwater, Erik Prince, has sparked outrage by calling for the U.S. to “put the imperial hat back on” and take over African countries that he deemed “incapable of governing themselves”.

    In a recent episode of his podcast “Off Leash”, Prince said that the U.S. should intervene in Africa to stop the “invasion” of migrants and terrorists, and to exploit the continent’s natural resources.

    He claimed that many African governments are “just criminal syndicates” that “deserve better” than their current leaders.

    “It’s time for us to just put the imperial hat back on to say that we’re going to govern those countries. If you’re incapable of governing yourselves because enough is enough, we’re done being invaded.

    “You can say that about pretty much all of Africa. They’re incapable of governing themselves and benefiting their citizens because the governments there are all about looting, pillaging, lining their pockets, and going shopping in Paris instead of ruling their countries,” he said.

    Prince’s remarks were met with fierce criticism from human rights activists, African officials, and former colleagues, who accused him of promoting a racist and neo-colonial agenda.

    They also pointed out that Prince has a vested interest in expanding his business in Africa, as he is the founder and former chairman of Frontier Services Group (FSG), a Chinese state-owned security and logistics company that operates in several African countries.

    Erik Prince has a history of involvement in controversial and illegal activities in Africa and other parts of the world.

    He is currently under investigation by the U.N. for allegedly violating an arms embargo in Libya, and he was previously implicated in the 2007 Nisour Square massacre in Iraq, where Blackwater contractors killed 17 civilians.

    Renowned gospel musician Cwesi Oteng has expressed remorse for endorsing the New Patriotic Party (NPP) prior to the 2016 elections, citing disappointment in the party’s administration.

    Oteng, who initially supported the NPP for its promises of free SHS and the National Cathedral project, now labels the latter as a “shame.”

    In a recent TV3 interview, Cwesi Oteng did not mince his words, asserting, “Three reasons I rooted for the NPP are one, free SHS, and the National Cathedral. The National Cathedral is a shame. It’s a shame, anybody that thinks that the whole idea is a success is a fool, is a shame, is a big shame.”

    The gospel musician expressed reluctance to endorse any political party in the future, asserting that such endorsements bring no benefits to Ghanaians.

    When questioned about potential support for a specific candidate, Oteng vehemently refuted the idea, claiming to remain indifferent to political affiliations.

    “As I sit here, I am listening to everybody, I am listening to Nana Bediako, I am listening to President Mahama, I am listening,” Cwesi Oteng emphasized, highlighting his detached stance on political matters while closely monitoring the statements of various presidential aspirants.

    GJA’s blacklisting of media attackers is popular but dysfunctional – NMC

    The National Media Commission (NMC) strongly condemns the recent violent assaults on journalists by supporters of Awutu Senya East constituency Member of Parliament, Mavis Hawa Kooson.

    Notably, Citi FM’s Northern regional correspondent, Mohammed Aminu M. Alabira, fell victim to an attack by Yendi Constituency Member of Parliament Farouk Aliu Mahama during coverage of the NPP’s Parliamentary primaries on January 27, 2024.

    In response to these incidents, NMC Chairman Yaw Boadu Ayeboafo has criticised the Ghana Journalists Association’s (GJA) decision to impose media blackouts on such individuals.

    Speaking at the Ghana Journalist Association (GNA)’s Zone 3 workshop in Kumasi, Ayeboafo expressed his view that while the media blackout approach is popular, it is dysfunctional.

    Addressing the media, Ayeboafo stated, “The recent violent attacks on journalists fulfilling their primary duty of informing our people are regrettable. The GJA’s unilateral decision to call for a boycott or blackout on such individuals, while popular, is dysfunctional.”

    He continued by sharing a past experience, saying, “Many years ago, I faced disapproval from the Ashanti regional Chapter of the GJA when they issued a similar order against the Vice Chancellor of the KNUST Professor. Despite dissenting opinions, I maintained that, while it is disheartening for journalists to be violently attacked, a unilateral resolution to blackout or boycott is not the most productive reaction. We cannot fight impunity with impunity.”

    The former managing news editor of the state-owned Daily Graphic urged GJA leadership to pursue legal avenues to advocate for journalists under attack.

    Ayeboafo emphasized, “I support any effort to ensure justice prevails against such deviant acts rather than resorting to blackout or boycott. We must adhere to the rule of law and due process. While the call for boycott or blackout may be popular, it may not be productive or functional in the public interest.”

    He concluded by drawing a parallel with international conflicts, asserting, “Many journalists have lost their lives in the current Israel-Hamas war, and while the international media calls for respect for laws safeguarding journalists, none have called for a boycott or blackout over Israel or Hamas.”

  • Cyber Security Authority warns public of Valentine’s Day online scams

    Cyber Security Authority warns public of Valentine’s Day online scams

    As Valentine’s Day approaches, the Cyber Security Authority (CSA) issues a warning to the public, emphasizing the need for caution in online activities during the romantic festivities.

    The Authority revealed that malicious cyber actors exploit the occasion to defraud unsuspecting victims through various schemes.

    In a press statement shared with the Ghana News Agency, the CSA disclosed that, in 2023, a staggering GHC 3,558,940.00 was lost to online shopping and romance scams.

    “After the unsuspecting victims engage and pay, usually to a mobile money wallet for products, the scammers block them from making further contact, and the expected delivery does not materialize,” the statement added.

    The perpetrators employ tactics such as creating fake websites, online shops, and social media profiles, enticing victims with heavily discounted packages.

    “While search engines provide convenient access to information, they can also display manipulated or misleading results, check on the official websites or with reliable sources to validate the contact details of shops rather than relying solely on search engine results,” it stressed.

    According to the statement, victims are lured into making payments for non-existent or substandard items.

    Malicious actors further manipulate Google Maps and search engine results to divert legitimate inquiries to scammer contact numbers.

    Once payment is made, victims are often blocked, and the promised deliveries never materialize.

    The CSA advises the public to exercise caution when encountering seemingly “too good to be true” deals on Valentine’s Day gifts, urging the use of reputable online marketplaces.

    Additionally, individuals are encouraged to check reviews and customer feedback before making online purchases.

    “Insist on payment only after delivery and inspection, be wary of unsolicited messages or emails claiming to be from a romantic partner, especially those that make requests for money or other sensitive information.

    “Do not share personal information such as your Ghana card number, credit card information, or bank account details with anyone, ensure that mobile money payments are made to wallets in the name of the online shop you are dealing with,” it said.

    Highlighting the risk of unsolicited emails or messages, the statement underscores the creation of fake online profiles by scammers to deceive victims into sending money or sharing personal information.

    The public is urged to be wary of such messages, especially those requesting money or sensitive data.

    To enhance online safety, the CSA recommends insisting on payment only after delivery and inspection, verifying the legitimacy of businesses, and avoiding sharing personal information.

    The statement concludes by informing the public of the CSA’s 24-hour Cybersecurity Incident Reporting Point of Contact for reporting cybercrimes and seeking guidance on online activities.

    Depression in 2016 nearly killed my music career – Okyeame Kwame

    Renowned musician, Kwame Nsiah-Apau known popularly as Okyeame Kwame, also known as the Rap Doctor, revealed his battle with depression in 2016, driven by the apprehension of approaching the age of 40.

    The artist expressed concerns about losing relevance in the music industry, fearing that his ideas would become outdated.

    Okyeame Kwame shared, “I was 39 and turning 40 years. I had written an article on my fear of the big four zero, and almost everything that I feared…that I will lose my audience share, and then I’m going to be old, my ideas will be old.”

    The artist reflected on the pressure of societal expectations, particularly in an industry driven by social validation metrics.

    The ‘Yeeko’ hitmaker also disclosed that financial setbacks added to his struggles, losing $80,000 invested in his music business. “I had invested a lot of money in my career that didn’t work. I put up billboards, I did rebranding and it didn’t work. I lost about $80,000. So that one, plus the shows not coming, plus my fear of the 40 years…the cock came home to roost. All the little things…so I felt inadequate, I am nothing, I am a nobody,” he revealed.

    It took Okyeame Kwame a whole year to recover from this challenging phase, shedding light on the multifaceted nature of his struggles during that time.

    In the same interview, Okyeame Kwame expressed concern over the rapid decline of Ghana’s music industry, attributing it to the challenging economic conditions faced by artists.

    In a candid conversation on Star Chat with Bola Ray, Okyeame Kwame pointed out the disparity between the success of older artists in developed countries, such as Grammy-winning new artists over the age of 39 and prominent hip-hop stars aged 43 and above.

    “For us Africans, we have sort of relegated our economy and given it to the white man to do what they want with it. We can’t enjoy the sunset, we can’t taste food, that’s why our fashion is not going anywhere. Hiplife couldn’t survive because of the economy.”

    In a candid conversation on Star Chat with Bola Ray, Okyeame Kwame pointed out the disparity between the success of older artists in developed countries, such as Grammy-winning new artists over the age of 39 and prominent hip-hop stars aged 43 and above.

    The artist emphasised that the struggle for survival hinders artistic expression, asserting, “You can’t indulge in art unless you grow and feed yourself. Because I have never seen a hungry boy looking at the sunset and saying that it is a beautiful sunset.”

    Okyeame Kwame drew attention to the impact of the economic situation on the creative process, explaining, “For us Africans, we have sort of relegated our economy and given it to the white man to do what they want with it. We can’t enjoy the sunset, we can’t taste food, that’s why our fashion is not going anywhere. Hiplife couldn’t survive because of the economy.”

    While acknowledging some assistance from successive governments, Okyeame Kwame asserted that the support received is “woefully inadequate.”

    He urged proactive measures to revitalize the Ghanaian music industry, emphasizing the need for collective efforts to address the economic challenges faced by artists.

    Okyeame Kwame nicknamed Rap Doctor is a Ghanaian musician, songwriter, creative director and a Developmental Activist.

  • Exercise caution when using the Ofankor-Nsawam road – Roads Minister

    Exercise caution when using the Ofankor-Nsawam road – Roads Minister

    The Minister of Roads and Highways, Mr. Kwasi Amoako-Atta, asserted in the aftermath of a fatal accident on the Ofankor-Nsawam road that there is a need for drivers to exercise patience and caution to prevent unnecessary tragedies.

    An accident occurred on February 5, 2024, near China Mall, claiming more than seven lives.

    Expressing his sorrow during a media briefing after inspecting the road on Friday, Mr.  Amoako-Atta labelled the incident as “needless” and stressed that such tragedies could be avoided if drivers exercised more patience.

    He urged motorists to prioritise safety, value their lives, and exercise extreme caution while navigating the construction zone.

    The Ofankor-Nsawam section of National Route Six (N6) is a crucial artery connecting various communities and facilitating trade between Ghana and neighbouring landlocked countries.

    Rehabilitation work on the 33.4km stretch, part of the Accra-Kumasi road network, began in 2022 and is expected to conclude in July 2024, with funding from the government and construction by Maripoma Enterprise Limited.

    Accompanied by engineers from the Ministry and the Ghana Highways Authority, Mr. Amoako-Atta extended condolences to the affected families and assured that the government would enforce standard safety measures at construction sites to prevent future accidents.

    Chief Resident Engineer for the Ofankor-Nsawam Road Project, Mr. Kwabena Bempong, outlined safety measures in place, including increased watering of the road to reduce dust.

    He called on the Road Safety Authority to address broken down vehicles hindering traffic flow and assured motorists and residents that the project would be completed as scheduled, providing relief to the community.

    The Ofankor-Nsawam Road Project aims to transform the current two-lane dual carriageway into a three-lane road with service roads, an interchange, two overpasses, and one underpass.

    With progress at around 50 percent, Mr. Bempong anticipates substantial completion by the end of the year.

    During his tour in the Greater Accra Region, the Minister also visited other road projects, including the Flowerpot Flyover and the upcoming Adenta-Dodowa Road Project.

    The Ofankor-Nsawam section of the National Route Six (N6) serves as a major arterial road for communities in the Ga West Municipal Assembly, Pokuase, Amasaman, Medie, and Sarpeiman, among others. 

    It also serves as a vital link for trade between Ghana and its neighbouring landlocked countries – Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger, and for transit cargo to move from the country’s ports to those destinations. 

    Rehabilitation work on the 33.4km stretch, which also forms part of the Accra-Kumasi road network, commenced in 2022, and expected to last for two years, ending in July 2024. 

    It is funded by the Government at a cost of GH¢342.48 and being constructed by Maripoma Enterprise Limited, a local construction firm. 

    The Minister was accompanied by some engineers from the Ministry and the Ghana Highways Authority (GHA), including Mr Stephen Jalulah, Deputy Minister of Roads; Mr Abass Awolu, Chief Director of the Ministry; Mr Collins Donkor, Acting Chief Executive, GHA; Mr Samuel Akuaku, Acting Deputy Chief Executive in charge of Administration, GHA; Mr Lawrence Lamptey, a Deputy Chief Executive in charge of Maintenance, GHA.  

    Mr Amoako-Atta, while extending the Government’s condolences to affected families, he assured that, it would ensure that all construction sites adhered to standard safety to prevent such occurrences.  

    Mr Kwabena Bempong, Chief Resident Engineer for the Ofankor-Nsawam Road Project, said the Contractor had put in place a number of safety measures, including regular watering of the road to reduce the dust and enhance visibility. 

    To ensure that, he said it had increased its water tankers from the previous 10 to 16 to fast-track the process.  

    Mr Bempong called on the Road Safety Authority to move in and help tow all broken down long vehicles by the sides of the road, which were impeding free vehicular movements to avert any unforeseen circumstances.  

    He also assured motorists who plied the stretch and residents of the area that the project would be completed as scheduled to alleviate their plights.  

    Currently, a two-lane dual carriageway road, the Ofankor-Nsawam Road Project, when completed would be three lanes, service roads, one interchange and two overpasses and one underpass.  

    Mr Bempong said, “presently, our progress is about 50 per cent and we are hoping that by the end of the year, we would have gone substantially complete.” 

    The Minister also toured some road projects in the Greater Accra Region such as the Flowerpot Flyover and the yet to commence Adentan-Dodowa Road Project.

    He explained that the Rent Law was designed to allow only cash payments for rent, eliminating the possibility of using alternative methods such as bartering goods or services.

    “The Rent Law is emphatic and states that we cannot use any other thing in place of money to pay your rent. So to extend this explanation, you cannot engage in a barter trade with your landlord,” Kporsu emphasised.

    He further clarified that even trading sex for rent is unlawful, stressing that only cash payments are acceptable.

    Additionally, Kporsu advised tenants facing financial challenges to negotiate with their landlords and agree on a feasible payment period.

    He underscored that the Rent Act provides provisions for negotiation in case a tenant is unable to pay the full rent amount upfront.

    “This is not a loan system that requires you to have collateral before you get the loan. It is rent, and you can only pay your rent with cash and not in kind, sex, or any other process,” he concluded.

    Mahama didn’t run away from his responsibilities – Sammy Gyamfi on Dr. Bawumia’s “driver-mate” analogy

    The National Communications Director of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Sammy Gyamfi has strongly urged members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to refrain from drawing comparisons between former President John Dramani Mahama and Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.

    Gyamfi emphasised that, unlike Dr. Bawumia, former President Mahama demonstrated a willingness to accept responsibility for his actions during his tenure.

    Sammy Gyamfi criticised Vice President Bawumia, asserting that he lacked credibility in comparison to Mahama.

    “John Dramani Mahama has served as a running mate to the late Professor Mills and as a vice president before. Did you ever hear John Mahama dismiss his roles or claim to be just a mere mate to Professor Mills? Anytime there was a problem, he took blame as he was meant to. So, please don’t lump us together with Mahama and NPP; we can’t be part of such hypocrisy,” Gyamfi stated.

    Dr. Bawumia, the Vice President, appeals to Ghanaians to support his bid for power in the upcoming December 7, 2024, general elections.

    He emphasised that, if granted the opportunity, he intends to lead the nation independently, free from the directives of President Akufo-Addo.

    “As Vice-President, I am like a driver’s mate. But if, by the Grace of God, you make me President, I will be in the driver’s seat with constitutionally mandated authority to pursue my vision and my priorities,” he said at a lecture on Wednesday.

    Sammy Gyamfi dares Bawumia to provide evidence of 2.1 million jobs (video)

    The National Communications Director of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Sammy Gyamfi, has issued a bold challenge to Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, demanding concrete evidence for the alleged 2.1 million jobs created under the New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration.

    Sammy Gyamfi, criticizing the NPP’s inconsistent evidence on job creation, emphasized the current all-time high unemployment rate among the country’s youth.

    He urged Ghanaians not to trust Vice President Bawumia’s words, questioning the credibility of the claims.

    “Where did you create 2.1 million jobs Bawumia? Today the unemployment has increased from 8.4 in 2016 to almost 14 percent according to the Ghana statistical service, an all time high as we speak,” Sammy Gyamfi stated.

    The flag bearer of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP),Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has asserted that the President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s government has created more jobs than any previous administration.

    Speaking at the UPSA auditorium on Tuesday in Accra, Vice President Bawumia said the government generated 2.1 million jobs between 2017 and 2022, despite the challenges posed by the global economic crisis.

    He explained that this feat includes the recruitment of 100,000 additional health workers, 100,000 more teachers, and a significant increase in fire service personnel.

    Bawumia stated: “What is probably the most remarkable development in terms of the economy is that our government has created 2.1 million jobs between 2017 and 2022 notwithstanding the global economic crisis. The public sector recruited 1.2 million people while the private sector created 975,000 jobs (per SSNIT data) . We recruited 100,000 more health workers, 100,000 more teachers, more than doubled the fire service personnel, etc. Our government has quite clearly created more jobs in a seven year period than any government. This is truly remarkable under the circumstances even though we still have to create more jobs”.

  • If the messenger lacks credibility, his message is gibberish – Sammy Gyamfi jabs Bawumia

    The National Democratic Congress (NDC) Communications Director, Sammy Gyamfi, has strongly criticized Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, accusing him of making empty promises and lacking credibility in his messages.

    Gyamfi’s comments come in response to Bawumia’s recent address at the University of Professional Studies in Accra (UPSA).

    During the address on February 7, the Vice President outlined several visions aimed at improving Ghana if given the opportunity.

    These visions included the cancellation of the E-levy, emissions tax, VAT on electricity, and the introduction of digital interventions to enhance the healthcare sector.

    However, Gyamfi took issue with Bawumia’s credibility, particularly highlighting a controversial statement where the Vice President likened himself to a “driver’s mate,” suggesting he is under the control of the President and incapable of making decisions independently.

    Gyamfi criticised Bawumia’s utterances as gibberish and lacking credibility, referencing past instances where the Vice President’s promises were allegedly unfulfilled.

    He cited an example from 2020 when Bawumia announced the construction of an ultra-modern harbour in Cape Coast, which, according to Gyamfi, turned out to be unsubstantiated.

    “Was it not the same Bawumia who stood at Cape Coast just this 2020 and said that good people of Cape Coast, I have good news for you, we are building for you an ultra-modern harbour when at the time, not a single block had be laid anywhere for the construction of the harbour. Even his own president when he was asked about this interview denied knowledge, that should tell you how dishonest this President is.

    “I am trying to tell you Bawumia lacks credibility, his message is gibberish, his message is junk, there is nothing you can do with the words of a liar,” Sammy Gyamfi stated.

    Bawumia’s vision lacks credibility – Akwaboah

    Highlife sensation Akwaboah has recently revealed in an interview with Accra FM that he deliberately refrained from participating in the 2020 general elections, where President Akufo-Addo secured a second term.

    The artist expressed his disappointment with political candidates, asserting that they often fail to fulfil their promises once in office and tend to misuse government funds.

    Akwaboah, adamant in his decision not to vote in the upcoming general elections, dismissed recent promises made by NPP flagbearer Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia during a Wednesday lecture.

    The artist emphasized that such assurances are merely political campaign tactics, a sentiment echoed in the creative arts sector.

    He highlighted the recurring nature of promises from political figures, asserting that these declarations are intended to garner attention without genuine commitment.

    During an appearance on Accra FM’s midmorning show, Akwaboah expressed concern that lofty promises often sway less educated voters.

    He criticised the tendency of Ghanaians to prioritise the “English proficiency” and charisma of leaders over critically assessing the feasibility of their assurances.

    He noted that this inclination often leads to voting along kinship, ethnic, and tribal lines.

    Akwaboah clarified that he remains sceptical about Dr. Bawumia’s promises, indicating, “I won’t say I believe [Dr. Bawumia] or not, but we’re just hoping that he will fulfil his promises.”

    When asked about his participation in the upcoming December 7 elections, the singer categorically responded with a “no,” disclosing that he also abstained from voting in the 2020 general elections.

    As the campaign season intensifies, both flag bearers from the dominant political parties have embarked on nationwide campaigns, vying for the presidency in the upcoming elections.

    I am grateful I am no longer a drug addict – Timaya

    Renowned Nigerian singer Timaya, born Inetimi Alfred Timaya Odon, recently shared a candid account of his challenging journey through drug addiction during the 2020 lockdown.

    In an interview with The Beat 99.9 FM in Lagos, the artist, famous for hits like “Dem Mama” and “Bum Bum,” opened up about his encounters with substance abuse.

    During the lockdown, Timaya noticed the seemingly perpetual happiness of young individuals residing in his home. 

    Intrigued by their exuberance, he discovered they were using Molly, a synthetic drug with psychedelic effects. 

    Curiosity led him to try the substance, triggering both mental and physical repercussions.

    Recalling his initial experience, Timaya revealed, “I did not understand myself. I was so happy that I dashed all the money in my pocket.” 

    This newfound happiness, fueled by the drug, resulted in significant weight loss and a distorted sense of well-being. 

    Timaya acknowledged the dangerous path he was treading, emphasising the importance of finding natural happiness rather than relying on substances.

    The consequences of his addiction were severe, nearly costing him his life and causing the loss of valuable opportunities and relationships. 

    Timaya admitted that breaking free from the grip of drugs was an arduous struggle.

    Despite the challenges, Timaya chose to embark on his journey to recovery without seeking professional rehabilitation. 

    Reflecting on his triumph over addiction, he asserted, “Breaking off from drugs was hell, it was a tough fight.” Today, Timaya proudly stands as a testament to resilience, having successfully overcome his struggles and redirected his focus towards his music and family.”

    Ghanaian Hiplife artiste, Kwaw Kese, has taken issue with Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia‘s recent analogy likening his role in the government to that of a “driver’s mate.”

    Dr. Bawumia made this comparison during his inaugural speech as the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), outlining his vision for Ghana at the UPSA auditorium in Accra on February 7, 2024.

    As a native of Agona Swedru, Kwaw Kese called on the Vice President to justify his performance in the government and clarify whether the shortcomings should be attributed to his leadership.

    “You’re the vice president of Ghana, Head of the Economic Management Team, And a full member of the ruling party NPP. As a local Ghana man from Agona SWEDRU, can you convince me if the failure of this government is not your failure?” he questioned.

    The revered Monarch of the Asante Kingdom, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, made a striking statement during the Kuntunkuni Durbar at the Manhyia Palace on Thursday, February 8, 2024.

    The customary opulence of the King’s attire took on a unique and symbolic twist, with his tiger-skin headgear signifying the Asante King’s formidable presence.

    The use of “sumanmma,” exclusively worn during battles, replaced the typical gold necklaces, wristbands, and anklets, underscoring the King’s readiness for any challenge.

    Embodying solemnity, Otumfuo donned the “nsɔ me nhwƐ” Kuntunkuni cloth, translating to “Do Not Provoke Me,” to communicate the strength and might of Asanteman to the world.

    The Durbar, held at the Dwabrem grounds, served as a touching commemoration of the Sagrenti War, where the British-led by Sir Garnet Wolseley left Kumasi in ruins in 1874.

    In his address, Otumfuo emphasised the unprovoked nature of the Sagrenti War, cautioning against political schemes targeting Asantes and reaffirming Asanteman’s status as an independent state before the formation of Ghana.

    Highlighting the indestructibility of Asanteman, Otumfuo asserted, “All those who plot against the kingdom must stop. We live here in love…Politicians must know that power is transient. Use love to rule. If you rely on your power, remember that your time will end soon.”

    Apologize to Martha Ankomah immediately! – Film director ‘instructs’ Lil Win

    Veteran film director, Frank Fiifi Gharbin has called on Ghanaian actor, Kwadwo Nkansah, popularly known as LilWin, to render an apology to actress, Martha Ankomah for making derogatory remarks about her in public.

    According to him, LilWin’s decision to chastise Martha Ankomah publicly over an issue that is meant to be kept private was a step in the wrong direction and does not speak well of him.

    He said that he had no idea about LilWin’s public rant and was a bit disappointed when he got to know that the actor had made the issue known on social media.

    “This is the showbiz industry so anything can happen but my concern is that what I told him [LilWin] was a secret, it was not meant for the public. I was not even aware when the issue became public, it’s a bit worrying. I think LilWin should apologise to Martha Ankomah to settle the issue,” he said while speaking in an interview with Hitz FM and monitored by GhanaWeb.

    Frank Fiifi Gharbin also called on Martha Ankomah to feature in the movie they are shooting to let people know that she has no bad intent towards the Kumawood.

    “Because of this, I want Martha Ankomah to feature in the movie to foster Ghana and Nigeria’s collaboration in the movie industry. In the movie we are shooting we are using Ghana and Nigeria acts so I would like her to come and partake in it,” he stated.

    Recently, LilWin spoke furiously and fumed about why Martha Ankomah rejected his request to feature in a movie and slammed her for disrespecting Kumawood’s movie.

    “Martha, those who are richer than you are rather humble and respect themselves a lot. Do you honestly call yourself a star? Who knows you? What do you have?

    “I don’t even know why GTP bypassed the likes of McBrown, Mercy Asiedu and co, and made Martha Ankomah their brand ambassador. The likes of Van Vicker, Roselyn Ngissah and co, do not do these things. They even work with us. They shoot Kumawood movies. I’m still amazed that you made such statements, were you drunk?”

    He continued, “Patience Ozorkwor came to Kumasi to shoot a movie. Aki and Pawpaw, Mr. Ibu and the rest came down to shoot a movie here. But for people like you, who call yourselves refined actors; how many times do these Nigerians come to Ghana to shoot movies? They are the ones who rather send for you guys.”

    Meanwhile, Martha Ankomah is yet to respond to LilWin’s claims for refusing to act in Kumawood.

    Since the issue became public, social media has been buzzing with wild reactions with some netizens sharing their opinions on LilWin’s public outburst.

    Sally took to social media to address the allegations, launching a scathing attack on Afia and shedding light on the deep-seated animosity between them.

    Having previously served as the General Manager for Adonko Bitters, Sally revealed that Afia’s removal from air was a consequence of her controversial TV show failing to attract sponsors.

    Sally attributed the show’s struggles to the fallout from Afia’s viral adultery video, which negatively impacted the company’s image and investor relations.

    In an unexpected turn of events, Sally recounted a past incident where she intervened to help Afia when her ex-husband threatened her with acid.

    Despite this assistance, Sally has now declared open warfare against Afia, marking a significant escalation in their ongoing feud.


    “When you called that midnight that your ex-husband had come threatening you with acid, I made a call to three different police station. Unfortunately, they all got there at the same time, this infuriated them and I had to apologize to them because that’s not the normal practice. Stray dog listen, don’t ever think you scare me cos you don’t, I was just respecting myself, my kids and the dignity of their father but this time, its war on,” she stated.

  • Bawumia is pretending to be an opposition leader in his own government – Sammy Gyamfi

    The National Communications Director of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Sammy Gyamfi, has strongly criticized Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, accusing him of deflecting responsibility for the economic challenges facing the nation.

    Gyamfi contends that both President Akufo-Addo and Vice President Bawumia are collectively responsible for the economic turmoil attributed to the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

    During a morning show discussion on Metro TV, Gyamfi asserted, “The primus inter pares in this government is Nana Addo, his words and responsibilities to people… Akufo-Addo times without number has told us when it comes to the economy, the man in charge is Bawumia.”

    He challenged the Vice President’s attempt to downplay his role and shift blame, emphasizing that Bawumia is acting like an opposition leader within his own government.

    Gyamfi accused Bawumia of pretending to be detached from the government’s economic mismanagement while highlighting the Vice President’s acknowledgment of the administration’s failures.

    He remarked, “Vice President Bawumia knows that the government that he is now a part of, which he is pretending not to be a part of, he is pretending now to be an opposition leader in his own government.”

    Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia clarified his role as the chairman of the Economic Management Team (EMT), asserting that he lacked the authority to make decisions.

    Addressing the nation on Wednesday, January 7, 2024, during his presentation as the flagbearer of the governing New Patriotic Party, Dr. Bawumia emphasised that the EMT, as a sub-committee to Cabinet, did not possess decision-making powers.

    “I am grateful to have been appointed as Chairman of the Economic Management Team (EMT). However, we do not wield any decision-making authority as a sub-committee to Cabinet,” he remarked.

    Dr. Bawumia underscored that his role primarily involved offering advice to the President’s Cabinet, expressing pride in the quality of counsel provided over the years.

    Ghanaian musician Mzbel, a former friend of Maxwell, shared her perspective on circulating rumors about the separation of media personality Nana Ama McBrown and husband Maxwell Mensah in an exclusive interview with Kingdom FM.

    Emphasising that it is not her business, she refrained from expressing personal opinions on the matter.

    Addressing a query about her happiness regarding the alleged divorce, Mzbel dismissed it, questioning why such a question would be posed.

    She emphasised that discussing the situation would not benefit her and urged against speculating on private matters.

    Mzbel, drawing from her own experiences, cautioned against sharing intimate details on social media, advising her colleagues to keep personal information private.

    She cited her discrete approach to her own life, including the identity of the father of her children, as an example.

    The singer highlighted the importance of safeguarding personal relationships from public scrutiny, noting that exposing such details on social media can lead to unwarranted attention and speculation.

    Mzbel’s remarks underscore the need for privacy in the face of relationship challenges.

    Bawumia is a man without credibility; he can’t be trusted – Doughan

    A member of the communication team for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Chris Doughan has strongly criticized Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, dismissing his promises and asserting that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flag bearer has lost credibility.

    Bawumia, who now leads the NPP, has vowed to bring about significant changes if elected in 2025, including a reduction in the number of ministers and a commitment to combat corruption.

    However, Doughan contends that Bawumia’s recent pledges are merely a ploy to manipulate public opinion.

    Doughan accused Bawumia of consistently making false promises to Ghanaians, asserting that the Vice President’s track record does not inspire trust.

    He argued that despite Bawumia’s claims of economic prowess, the country has faced hardship under the Akufo-Addo government, particularly with rising living costs and escalating electricity prices.

    Calling on Ghanaians to be cautious, Doughan urged voters to reject Bawumia’s new assurances and focus on supporting the NDC’s flag bearer, former president John Mahama.

    Doughan praised Mahama for his honesty in the previous term and emphasised the need to elect a leader who can navigate the country away from what he described as the challenges posed by the current NPP leadership.

    Speaking on Inside Politics on TV XYZ, Doughan declared, “John Mahama did a lot for Ghana with little resources unlike Bawumia and his Boss, Akufo-Addo. We the members of the NDC will jealously support John Mahama to win power and save this country from the ditch the NPP leadership has put us.”
