Completely outrageous!” Tsatsu Tsikata fired.  “From the bottom of my heart, I had nothing to do with the murder of the judges” he added.  “The day that I heard that judges had been abducted, I was actually in court in Ho. I had left Acrra in the morning. I had driven to Ho oblivious of the murder of the judges. There was a case I was doing for some farmers in Ho, as I was entering the town I didn’t know where the court was so I saw a lawyer as he was then and I wanted to ask him for direction to the court. That is Lawyer Dotse as he was then. I knew him because he was my student at Legon. So he asked me about the murder of the judges. I was c...

Trolling on social media is gaining prominence every day and no one is spared. And one celebrity, who has consistently been trolled for either her physical attributes, a comment she made or clothes she wore, is actress and socialite, Moesha Buduong.  She has been accused of having a fake body, bleaching among others, but she tells Showbiz she remains unfazed.  “When it comes to social media trolling, I think I will be right to say that I have been trolled more than any female actress in the showbiz industry but I don’t allow that to get to me.  “It makes me strong instead and the reason is simple; if I break down, my dreams will not be accomplished. Again, there is more to come so if I don’t stand strong to face all these, what will I do when I progress ? I have toughened up and I laugh over it whenever I see something like that being done to me.  “I sometimes get friends sending me such messages and comments but we just laugh over them. See, I have ...

Ghanaian actress Yvonne Nelson yesterday laid Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko on a twitter table and ‘lashed’ him over his ‘low’ and ‘disappointing’ comments on social media. MyNewsGH.com followed the thread keenly as one followers of Yvonne Nelson took turns to lash the president’s cousin and unofficial social media minister. Gabby Otchere-Darko had said in a social media post that the Ghanaian movie industry is being unproductive. He wrote: “I took my time to watch randomly ten Ghanaian movies and never felt so disappointed. It brought home to me one major deficiency in our development. The apparent lack of deliberate consciousness on the part of the creative industry in the development conversation. The presence of the creative industry appears at best peripheral in Ghana’s development narrative. Our movies, our songs, our arts, by and large, do not impactfully plug into a greater development agenda. Hollywood, for the best part of a century, has been deliberately use...

Female dancehall artiste Tsoobi has said most upcoming female musicians struggle in their career due to some managers wanting to take advantage of them in exchange to help them financially.  Speaking to DJ Advicer on Happy FM’s ‘Ayekoo’ after drive show said, “Management issues are what delayed my career, it’s tough for the women. I don’t know about the guys but it’s not easy for the girls, in terms of sex in exchange for favours.”  “It’s not nice at all, someone will tell you to hold me down, and if you don’t hold me down how am I supposed to help you."  "What he said to really annoy me was that if I will shoot your video for you, you have to be touching me, keep your hands on my tummy, my hair, play with my head and stuff like that and I was like ‘No that’s not right’,” she added. Having said that, DJ Advicer asked if she was not interested in the personality or the idea of exchanging sexual favours for opportunities.  “The thing is if I choose...

Actress Nadia Buari has said that she has got to a point that she does not care about what the media say or what people think about her. According to her, it’s time to focus on what’s best for rather than think of the perception people hold about her. She said in a post on Instagram post MyNewsGh.com spotted, while advising her followers that “From an early age we work to get approval, whether it was proving to our parents that we could ride a bike without training wheels, or taking our first step—caring what other people think seems evitable. Through the years it can become a problem for us, as it can cripple us emotionally and spiritually. We need to get to the point where we don’t care what the media says, how colleagues feel about us, or live in state of constant fear or agony of what others think. The other person is not going to worry about it, or stay awake at night upset that you’re offended. U can’t be responsible for other people’s words, actions, or decision...

President Akufo-Addo says the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and government would have no excuse to give if they fail to develop the country.  He said, “Ghana has good human capital, and our economy has great possibilities for accelerated growth and job creation.  The president indicated that “in recent years, admittedly, our economy has not done so well, and we have not been successful in improving appreciably the living standards of our people.”  Speaking at the UK-Ghana Investment Summit in Accra yesterday, he disclosed that “for a country like Ghana that has abundance of valuable natural resources, we have no excuse for not being able to use the blessings bestowed on us by the Almighty to bring progress and prosperity to the citizenry.”  That, he said, was part of reasons why Ghanaians voted for him and his party in December 2016 with clear marching orders. “They were dissatisfied with their lot, and demanded the charting of a new path – a path th...

The Former President made the highly suggestive statement in a tweet on Monday afternoon.

Programs Manager at Hitz FM, Mark Okraku Mantey says rapper Sarkodie was part of the reasons why Shatta Wale’s Reign Album launch became successful.  He said this in an interview on Daybreak Hitz on Hitz FM on Monday.  Mr. Okraku Mantey told Andy Dosty that, Sarkodie’s “Advice” diss song provoked fans of Shatta Wale to turn up in their numbers to show their loyalty to their ‘God’.  “I think Sarkodie contributed to the success.

They were angry and came to prove their support…” Also, Mark also said host of “You Say Wetin” on Hitz FM, Prince Tsegah also indirectly promoted the album when he made headlines saying “the media is tired of Shatta Wale”.  Earlier, Shatta Wale described fellow acts, Sarkodie and Kwaw Kese as poor musicians who have nothing to brag about just some few days to his album launch.  The two acts to show their dissatisfaction towards Shatta’s statement released diss songs to shut th...

The Barcelona talisman has been handed the captain's armband by his country, but that role has been questioned by an iconic countryman Lionel Messi is not a leader, according to Diego Maradona, with the Barcelona and Argentina talisman accused of “going to the bathroom 20 times before a game”. At 31 years of age and having spent more than a decade as an elite performer in the global game, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner is accustomed to shouldering pressure and expectation. He has, however, struggled with the burden of captaincy at times, despite having taken the armband for club and country in recent years. Maradona believes Messi is the wrong choice for Argentina as, while he is unquestionably their best player, he lacks the personal skills required to inspire those around him. The 1986 World Cup winner, who saw the Albiceleste struggle at Russia 2018 over the summer, told La Ultima Palabra Mexico : “Messi’s a great player, but he’s not a leader. “Before tal...

An Accra high court has found the Inspector General of Police David Asante Apeatu guilty of contempt of court. This was after two citizens Samuel Aggrey Jnr and Augustine Gyekye told the court he had wilfully disobeyed orders to provide security for the execution of a court order for the sale of a 12 block flats belonging to them. This case has travelled from 1988 when a woman, Mrs Aggrey (now deceased), filed the case against REDCO Company limited. Se said the company had failed to pay an amount of money owed her.

But even before the court ruled on the matter REDCO gave out the property to the Ghana Police Service to house some of its officers. The applicants then went back to court to seek an orde...

President of the Creative Arts Council, Mark Okraku Mantey has warned against the negative impact beefs in the music industry could have on society.  Okraku Mantey says although beefs in the industry are a good marketing strategy, it should not be encouraged because it could harm the country. “We are gradually directing our country,” in the wrong direction, he warned.  His warning follows the public buzz Sarkodie’s diss track targetted at dancehall artiste Shatta Wale, has generated.  The diss song, ‘My Advice’, seems to be Sarkodie’s response to Shatta Wale after the latter described him as “very poor”.  In the freestyle video, the rapper uses strong language to attack Shatta Wale and described him as an insecure attention seeker.  While some industry persons have noted that beefs are very good for business and the growth of the industry, the President of the Creative Arts Council is urging caution. “Now they are saying that because of ...

Dancehall artiste, Shatta Wale is brushing off comments that the media is tired of him because of his controversies.  To him, he finds it difficult to comprehend how the media can be tired of him and still talk about him.  The controversial singer was reacting to entertainment pundit and host of ‘You Say Watin’, Prince Tsegah, who said he is of the strong conviction that Ghana’s media is tired of Shatta Wale.  According to Mr Tsegah, the artiste’s constant attacks of other artistes and inconsistent posture, seem to have made him lose some friends in the media.  Reacting to the comments in an interview on Daybreak Hitz on Hitz FM with Andy Dosty, the ‘Freedom’ hit singer said: “Me I want to eat so if I don’t create any controversy, how can I eat?” “Nobody should watch Shatta Wale and say I don’t respect…” he said and stressed that the media “should understand that this how the job is done.”  He jabbed that, the media say they are tired of...

Former President John Dramani Mahama has said it is dangerous to experiment with a political leader who lacks the needed leadership skills to put the country on the right track. “Somebody came to you and said try me, now look at the results”, Mr Mahama told delegates of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Nadowli constituency in the Upper West Region on Tuesday. Mr Mahama said as a political leader it is easy to criticise when in opposition but the situation is different in government. Former President Mahama said it is therefore important for a leader who is tried and tested to be elected in 2020 to work towards the high cost of living and provide jobs for the people. NPP promised dams,not dugouts Meanwhile, Mahama has observed that there are no signs of the government’s one village, one dam on the ground after almost two years in office.

Dr Yao Yeboah, Chairman of the Governing Council, Ghana Health Service (GHS) on Tuesday said hypertension is the fourth killer of Ghanaians across the country and the first killer of patients that attended the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital. He said the health sector concentrates higher percentage of its national budget to address diabetes and hypertension. He said the disorders were caused by preventable individual lifestyles like excessive drinking of alcohol, lack of exercises, and eating non-healthy diets. Dr Yeboah said this during a presentation of the GHS’s “Health Promotion (HP) Strategic Plan,” at a media engagement workshop in Accra. He said a lot of the country’s resources were used in taking care of people who were sick, a step he said should be discouraged, citing a result of a research conducted by the World Health Organisation (WHO) that indicated that 75 per cent of all illnesses recorded across the globe, could be prevented. Dr Yeboah said: “We cannot ...

Former President John Mahama has accused the Akufo Addo government of constructing dugouts instead of the promised dams in villages in the Northern Region. The New Patriotic Party (NPP) made a major campaign promise ahead of 2016 to construct one dam per a village in the three regions up North to improve on irrigation in the area. But the Ex-President who’s on a campaign tour of the Northern region in his bid to be elected the Flagbearer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) stated that the government has deceived people up north with the construction of dugouts instead of the promised dams. “I was coming from Mamprusi West and the One Village One Dam and they’ve gone to do the experimental one, of course, they should have told us they were dugouts because they are not dams. Before the elections I asked them are you talking about dugouts or irrigation dams or you are talking of barrage dams or what are you talking about, define what you mean by dams, they re...
