If Yvonne Nelson Was Not A Celebrity…See How She Would Look

04/27/2015 9:39 am

We’ve always maintained that the moment you take the hype, the make-up, the weaves and those ‘expensive’ dresses off celebrities—they just look like the girl next door, the one you wouldn’t even pay attention to. And the below photos of Yvonne Nelson confirms the assertion that, the celebrity lies in the make-over and necessarily the personality. … Read more

Diplomatic Row: After Nigeria Recalled Her Ambassadors From South Africa, South Africa Releases Strongly Worded Statement Criticising Nigeria

by GC Staff Yaa

The recent spate of xenophobic attacks were sickening and disgusting, and for a while it looked like the South African government was doing very little to combat the attacks.

Things have died down a bit since, but it seems to have caused some harm to South Africa’s relations to the countries whose citizens where so callously attacked.

Nigeria over the weekend recalled her High Commissioner and his deputy from South Africa, in apparent protest of the violent attacks. This course of actions seems not to have gone down too well with South Africa.

In response, South Africa’s Department of International Relations and Co-Operation has released a statement criticising the decision. According to them, the South African government cannot be blamed for the attacks, just as they did not blame the Nigerian government when scores of their nationals died in the synagogue building collapse.

They continue that they remain committed to a bilateral relationship with Nigeria, and would work through diplomatic channels to solve this issue.

Below is the statement in full….

Pakistani Woman Set Ablaze By Husband And Father-In-Law Because She Left Home Without Asking Permission

They call it ‘honour killing’ in that part of the world. The ‘Honour killing’ entails killing a woman who is believed to have brought shame or dishonour to the family through her actions.

Often these are trivial issues, or issues the woman has no control over. Yet it’s a society where women are treated worse than third class citizens with the express permission of religion and society.

A Pakistani woman, 25 year old Shabana Bibi, was set ablaze by her husband and his father because she left the house to visit her sister. Her crime was that she did not ask her almighty husband for permission before setting off.

Ghanaian Arrested On Fraud Charges In The US for A Fake Pharell Williams Show

This guy sounds like he has some serious persuasive skills, but like all crooks he’s channeling it in the wrong way to make quick money, instead of using it for some honest work.

Sigismond Segbefia was arrested by the FBI and charged with multiple counts of fraud, for duping a South Korean steel company of $375,000 with the promise of getting Pharell Williams to play a concert for them.

Via the NY Post, Segbefia had a company, Eastern Stars LLC, which he used to give rings of legitimacy to his claims. He told the South Korean firm, Dosko Co. Ltd, his company was the legal representative of Pharell. He wired them a contract and an invoice, as well as fake documents, emails, and the names of Pharell’s real management team.

Mila Kunis Sued: For Stealing A Chicken 25 Years Ago

This is not the sort of lawsuit you hear about every day.

Actress Mila Kunis is being sued by a childhood friend, Kristina Karo; who claims Ashton Kutcher’s woman stole her pet chicken, named Doggie, 25 years ago when the two of them were growing up in the Ukraine.

According to TMZ:

“Kristina alleges in her lawsuit she loved Doggie like a dog, and so did Mila, who would come to her house and play with the little clucker. But one day Doggie disappeared, and Kristina says Mila confessed that she stole it, saying, “Kristina, you can have any other chicken as a pet, you have a whole chicken farm.” Kristina says in her lawsuit she became an emotional wreck and went into therapy”

Why Starr FM is Not Just About the Stars | It’s A Total Package…

04/23/2015 11:23 am

by GC Staff Yaa

The EIB Network is carrying out a ballsy assault on the Ghanaian media landscape. It seems to be working, especially with their flagship Starr Fm.

A recent survey by Ipsos, a credible multi-national researcher, ranks Starr Fm as the most listened to English radio station in the capital. That’s a huge achievement for a station that’s barely one year old- and especially when considering the behemoths in the English demographic such as Joy and Citi Fm.

In the wake of this survey, people have made the argument that Starr Fm is successful only because of their star power. They made a point of grabbing some of the best talent around- and they were lucky enough to have Ghana’s Drive Time king on board as a CEO.

So whilst the point has to be conceded that Starr has a lot of firepower, that alone does not make a successful station. As a sports guy I’m always ready with the sports examples, and you can ask Real Madrid’s first iteration of Galacticos in 2002 to see what all that star power won them.

During those heady days, they gathered some of the best talent in the world of football. At a point they could call on Ronaldo (the original one, not his self-absorbed, latter day namesake), Raul, Zidane, David Beckham, Luis Figo, and Roberto Carlos. From the time they all gathered in 2002, to their disbandment in 2007, Real Madrid won nothing, zilch, nada.

This was because there wasn’t much teamwork between them. What people often overlook is that stacking the star names often brings about a conflagration of egos, that can be as destructive just as well as it can be productive. You cannot succeed just by that alone.

DJ Black Says D-Black is A WHACK Rapper | We Know That Already BUT…

04/6/2015 3:16 pm

by GC Staff Yaa

Of course D-Black cannot rap and he is a ‘whacky’ rapper so DJ Black saying this shouldn’t be a shock to any of us. But D-Black is a Ghanaian version of P. Diddy—the dude who cannot really rap but has the business side of rap music in his hands…

D-Black may not have a good song but he can get you to buy it—and he is making more money than most of our so called good rappers. In today’s world, marketing is the key to success, not really how good you are on the beat.

Anyway, on his Open House Party on Joy FM over the weekend, DJ Black said “he is not feeling rapper D-Black.”
