First of all, is this not incestuous or for the religious people, is this not a big sin?
A teenager in United States who reunited with her estranged father after 10 years is engaged to the father—and they plan to marry soon. In fact, her first sex was with this father…
The teenager who is now 18 and reunited with the father when she was 17 told New York Magazine‘s Science of Us that “It was so weird and confusing. I was seeing my dad for the first time in forever but it was also like, He’s so good-looking!
I saw him as my dad but then also part of me was like, I’m meeting this guy who I have been talking to over the internet and really connecting with and I find him attractive.”
Since then a coroner’s inquest has been ongoing to try to determine what exactly happened; an inquest, by the way, that Joshua has been avoiding like crazy. The church has meanwhile been falling all over itself in a pathetic attempt to assign other reasons for the tragedy aside the flagrant disregard for rules and human safety that led to it.
In the latest in a long line of tasteless attempts to smooth things over for himself, the Prophet himself, Temitope Balogun Joshua, has taken the families of some of the deceased who travelled all the way from South Africa to Nigeria on a shopping spree, as well as feted them in exclusive high class hotels.
I know some people would probably scoff at this and not see why anyone should mourn that weird little boy but minorities like transgenders are also people and deserve some sympathy from society at large.
17 year old Leelah (Josh) Alcorn was a transgender living in the United States. She committed suicide over the weekend because she had always felt she had to transition from the boy she was born as into a girl; but her religiously devout parents always shot that down and she felt he would never be happy.
I could attribute Leelah’s sad end to religious extremism but truth be told, such prejudices extend beyond that and irrespective of what you think of people like that the suicide note should touch you and perhaps make you more sympathetic towards the next case like this you hear about.
Leelah walked onto the path of a tractor trailer on Sunday, then hours later her pre-programmed suicide note hit tumblr. It has since gone viral, and rightly so.
I always say irrespective of what you think of someone’s choices, if they feel that’s what would make them happy they should be left to go ahead, so long as they’re not breaking any laws.
We are too afraid of people who are different….
Leelah’s suicide note….. quite long, but worth the read

This is not quite on the level of the Sony hack but both Morocco and Egypt have banned the screening of ‘Exodus: Gods And Kings’ due to what they term ‘historical inaccuracies’.
The BBC reports the head of Egypt’s censorship board listed these historical inaccuracies as the film depicting the Jews as having built the pyramids, and that an earthquake caused the Red Sea to be parted during the Jews escape from Egypt, and not a miracle from God as the Bible portrays.
I can see why that’s got to sting.
One of the greatest prides of both ancient and modern Egypt is their world renowned pyramids, so Exodus portraying them as being built by the Jews is not something that would sit well with them.
Also, claiming the Red Sea was parted by an earthquake to allow the Jews escape borders on blasphemy, and really belittles the role of God in that whole dramatic escape.
There are reports Morocco also banned the movie, just a day before it was supposed to premiere after it had initially been green lighted to screen.
The more I listen or read on those who are still championing the FreeKwawKese campaign, the less sympathy I feel for Kwaw Kese, and the higher I wish the court does not temper justice with mercy – but rather, stretch and apply the full dimension of the law on his case.
Yes, I am a fan of Kwaw. I enjoy his songs and performances, but I won’t allow that to besot me to start insulting the integrity of the judge on the case, water down our judiciary system, and create the impression that the court is unlawfully manhandling Kwaw Kese – as most of those who are championing the FreeKwawKese movement are still doing!
Knowing the possible harm this FreeKwawKese camping could have on the ongoing case, management of Kwaw released a statement in which they appreciated fans of Kwaw for showing support but also, monished those proponents to stop their advocacy.
“We are therefore calling on all parties to desist from making further statements and embarking on campaigns such as FreeKwawKese et al in a bid to support Kwaw Kesse. On the contrary, these activities along with the heightened media coverage only go to worsen the plight of Kwaw” the press release cautioned.
Meanwhile, mother of Kwaw has even come public to state that she has in the past heard that her son engages in weed smoking but can only wish him well in this trial; yet, some zany musicians are still championing the FreeKwawKese campaign as though they love him more than his own mother.
Read what evergreen reggae artist, Black Prophet, recently posted, saying Ghana government and police must: “Freekwawkesse! Locking him up for smoking ganja? Please look for the killer of his manager, Chinese killing villagers for our gold, our oil, rights, passports and school documents has no value in the west, let build more free schools, protect Ghana and Africa from foreign interference, etc for a Better Ghana and Africa. Blessings.”
Though Deputy Minister of Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts is a good friend of Peace FM presenter, Kwami Sefa Kayi, this time round, she decided to put friendship aside and hit the nail hard on the head for the right thing to be done.
There is this Akan word called ‘sebe’ which is often used before one says anything disrespectful, foul, weird or disparaging at another especially in public or in the midst of elderly ones. For some reason, some people deliberately mean to spew ‘garbage’ but they often hide behind this ‘sebe’ cultural term and throw out chilly words at others.
One Peace FM’s Kokroko show, one of the panelists ended up using the word nonsense as though he was on weed but deliberately kept saying ‘sebe’ – thinking all who are listening to him are obtuse minded who cannot read between the lines.
Honourable Dzifa who was not happy at what happened on air, again, took to her Facebook wall to hit hard at Kwami Sefa Kayi and Peace FM. Obviously, she has a problem with the use of the word ‘sebe’ which has been used by our forefathers since AD and she expressed it.
Over the weekend in Accra, actress-Zynnell Zuh premiered her self produced movie-WHEN LOVE COMES AROUND at the SilverBird Cinemas in Accra—and various celebrities attended to support her.
‘WHEN LOVE COMES AROUND’ revolves around a character named ‘Love’ (played by Zynnell Lydia Zuh). After an early heartbreak Love grows up not believing in true love. Money and social status become her main criteria as she searches for her dream man.During a hangout with her two close friends-Vicky (Eku Edewor) and Didi (DJ Pierra Makena), she finds her dream man but that is when her true love comes knocking too.”
The movie features a strong pan African cast- Zynnell Zuh, Jim Iyke, Eku Edewor, Mikki Osei, Edward Kuffuor & Others.
‘WHEN LOVE COMES AROUND’ is an excellent first time effort from actress-Zynnell Zuh as a producer and a co-writer.
There are some people we enter into relationships with who are troubles with a capital T. They’ll mess you up so much and if you successfully rid yourself off them or they decide to take a bow and leave – they somehow try to ‘worm’ their way back into your life to continue from where they left off – destroy you the more! Love is least of the reasons why they rear their ‘ugly’ heads again. When an ex-lover, especially, the married one appears from nowhere and starts getting all loved up, they’re just coming to divide and destroy.
What love has he/she to offer after how many years? What love has he/she to offer when your relationship was the toxic/unhealthy/parasitic type? Truthfully, they have nothing to offer you. They will destroy your home whiles theirs stays intact. How can a man allow his ex-girlfriend access to his life and family after he caught her doing ‘testing mic 1, 2, 3’ on his friend meanwhile his ‘mic was never tested’ (thinking is allowed)?
Some people have given their exes the license to destroy their family, defraud them emotionally, because of a misplaced love they think they still have for them. Some people fall too easily to things their hearts and ears want to hear so just whisper sweet nothings into their ears and game starts. They throw caution to the wind and damn all consequences and start an illicit affair with an ex – who might have even treated them badly during the course of their relationship.

Fans mobbed the stars of the movie to the extent that, it was even impossible for media men to grab photos—a win for the fans as everyone pulled their phones out for selfies and a lost for the media men.
The stars will tonight make appearance at the SilverBird Cinema at Weija where the movie will be showing…

Yes, Kwaw Kese must be learning serious lessons from his past deeds now that he is in prison and those past experiences are banging him hard in the face.
Within a spate of 2 years, Kwaw Kese has NEEDLESSLY stepped on the toes of his own colleagues in the music industry – unfortunately, he felt no remorse then or apologized to any of those characters (at least as far as the public is concerned).
Kwaw Kese once said in an interview on Hitz FM’s Cruise Control that the ‘Dancehall King’ hit singer Shatta Wale is known to him but insisted they have nothing specifically in common. He posited:
“Shatta Wale is a buddy, not a friend.” He said they do not communicate and he doesn’t even have Shatta Wale’s phone number; “I do not even have his contact” he stated. Kwaw did not end at that.
Shatta Wale went on a three-state tour of the United States with performance scheduled at Maryland on the 25th July, 26th Chicago and New York on 9th August. Kwaw tweeted – making allusions to the fact that whenever some GH artistes visit the US, they act as tourists and that tweet generated some needless controversy because Shatta Wale was the notable GH artiste who was then in the US and taking pictures and sharing with his fans on social media.
Kwaw Tweeted:
“Some of these gh artists come to the us and act as tourists. Lol. Then after some minutes, followed it up with: Many GH artists are in the state but some fools think I’m referring to their champion, Ekutia biaa nim newura ampa!!!
Of course Shatta Wale and Bull Dog replied Kwaw too. It’s a well known fact that Kwaw Kese is in the camp of Da Hammer of the Last Two but a response by Da Hammer to Kwaw Kese’s tweet suggested that he was not really happy or enthused by his ”son’s” tweet.
Actress-Jackie Appiah turned 31 yesterday and to celebrate this day, she decided to share her joy with the children of Teshie Orphanage and LEKMA Hospital Children’s Ward by making donations to these children.

When Jackie Appiah visited the LEKMA Hospital Children’s Ward, she paid the hospital bills of 3 families—and also made donations to the ward.
Rihanna is in London right now. The Bajan superstar was spotted at Heathrow airport this morning (December 1st). She hasn’t been at the British capital since the beginning of the year.
For now, it is not really clear what she is doing in London, perhaps she is still working on #R8.
