We believe there is a general consensus that Yvonne Nelson has lost the beauty game to this extensive thin-ness, and she needs some BURGER to get back into what we may consider as “being beautiful”.

The actress says she is currently in London and looking at the below photo she shared, she definitely needs to head over to BURGER KING, better still, just get a job there.

High fashion mistress-Sandra Ankobiah is back here today, rocking her Versace shades—so she says. But we still think, no matter the brand, you must first look in the mirror before stepping out.

Check below for the photo of Yvonne Nelson…

It’s Happening on Saturday-18 October in Accra | Wizkid, 2face Idibia, Mafikizolo, 4×4, Edem, MzVee & Others on ONE BIG Stage- Hennessy Artistry Concert

Hennessy Artistry Concert

It’s definitely going to be a MEGA concert this Saturday, 18th October, 2014—as more than 5 top African musicians from Nigeria, South Africa and Ghana will mount one stage to thrill fans at the first Hennessy Artistry Concert in Ghana. You dare miss this once in a life time opportunity and you would have yourself to blame!

Any of these musicians-Wizkid, 2face, Mafikizolo, 4×4, Edem and MzVee can hold independent concerts and deliver bad-to-back electrifying performances but Hennessy has decided to pull some sort of a ‘clash of the best’ by putting them all on one stage for Ghanaian music lovers at the Accra International Conference.

Surely it must have cost Hennessy a fortune but as concertgoers, we don’t really care much about the cost—we are just excited about the opportunity to have these artistes rock our night.

And considering how much the tickets are going for, any of these artistes staging an individual concert would have charged the same—so this looks like buy one get 5 free for us, you wouldn’t find this anywhere.

From his 2006 hit song-African Queen to his 2014 releases, 2face will take patrons on a long but interesting musical journey, which has in many ways contributed to the recognition of African music at the international front.

And then, as we know, Wizkid never disappoints when on stage. With such exciting repertoire of hit songs, ranging from ‘Paurumo’ to ‘My Baby’, it’s just going to be a night to remember.

Wizkid and 2face have just performed together once— so it’s going to be very interesting to have the two of them on the same stage in Ghana, to perform their first collaborative track ‘Dance Go’.

A study published by the Northeastern University in Boston has revealed that Ghana is the highest nation at risk of recording the next outbreak of the Ebola Virus.

The study was published on 6 October, but had been conducted earlier and had found that several nations in the West African sub-region, as well as some other nations with high international air traffic all stood at risk of recording the epidemic.

The countries at risk of transmission aside Ghana included The United States of America, United Kingdom, Nigeria, Belgium, Senegal, Mali, Gambia, Morocco, South Africa, Kenya, Lebanon, and Germany.

You might notice that the USA, Nigeria, and Senegal have all contracted the virus since the conduction of the study.

The study stated that these nations are likely to contract the virus by the end of October 2014.

The research gave three factors to calculate likelihood of transmission; passenger flow from area of outbreak, case numbers, and the duration of incubation time.

21st Century Woman…

Thelma Louis

I was feeling very h*rny but I was also feeling very lazy. And I didn’t want to lift a very heavy thigh. I managed to raise my hand and laid it carelessly across his chest. And like clock work his eyes opened.

It really was easy getting a man’s attention I thought. One of the reasons I was definitely coming back a woman, or better still a 21st Century Woman.

I loved my friend Sandra. She was all Ghanaian, born in James Town, British Accra lol, but bred in the United Kingdom of Great Britain, London since age twelve.

So even though Sandra hadn’t come home in almost fifteen years, girlfriend had stayed true to her Ghanaian-ness. She spoke and understood some broken Ga, loved her kenkey and fish from kenkey house and her favorite Ghanaian song was still ‘Aben wo ha’. Trust me I had told her a zillion times Ghanaians had moved on to Sarkodie and recently a slightly crazy one… uhm… oh Shatta Wale.

There was little wonder why Sandra was over the moon to come back home during the 2012 Christmas. She never stopped talking about it and honestly her friends who lived in London but had come for the occasional Christmas’ and funerals were getting tired of her ranting.

Yeah so they had enjoyed the attention the Ghanaian men gave them when they realized they were visitors in town, and the fact that everybody wanted to do things for them at family gatherings, the parties, the food, the azonto, the rasta, the weed… Oh lets not forget the fact that when they changed the mighty pound sterling to cedis they pretty much owned the town. They loved the pecks but they still hated the bad roads, the dumso’s were particularly annoying and the constant money-begging scenario was a real nightmare.

Still Sandra was the happiest person in the world traveling to a West African Country that Christmas.

I picked her up at the airport; she was in awe most of the time. She didn’t quite know what to expect so she basically just soaked it all in. Next day I went back for her at nine in the evening for a party. As usual she got all the attention on arrival. Later a man walked up and asked her to dance. She got right to it. I was a little confused at the speed at which she accepted the dance. Our Ghanaian ladies style was to decline at first and then get coxed into it gradually and then perhaps when the man got down on his knees we would… uhm go and move a muscle.
