Ghana’s ‘Menn On Point’ Returned to UK’s X-Factor With A Brilliant & Yet Terrible Performance (VIDEO)

UK’s X-Factor is on the run with Ghana’s once popular musicians-Reggie Zippy and Bollie, now called ‘Menn on Point’ still in competition—and their fan base seems to have increased significantly as their weird performance over the weekend was still cheered to the fullest.

Over the weekend, X-Factor threw the light on the boys including the groups—which meant that, ‘Menn on Point’ walked up onto the well decorated X-Factor stage in their full swag but their performance lacked the expected coherent brilliance.

Their style is different—far from anything the audience is probably used to, so that seems to be working to their advantage.

Despite having picked an excellent song-Cheerleader from OMI, hoping to impress Cheryl with their rendition of the popular song for their audition at the Six Chair Challenge, they seemed to have gotten too excited, throwing their legs around and disconnected their performance from the song.

A few days ago, I saw 5 black young adults in St Albans, UK,  riding around in a main street on of of these self balancing scooters popularly known as Swegways, skywalkers or hoverboards—and increasingly, these boards are showing up everywhere.

Though they look cool, UK’s Police has stated that it’s illegal for anyone to ride around in public on one of these stuff.

The annoucement comes at a time many young and old folks in the UK are spending huge amounts of cash purchasing these boards, just to ride around as if they are being featured in “Back To The Future Part 2″ while looking like “Paul Blart: Mall Cop.”

Per the Crown Prosecution Service, section 72 of the Highway Act 1835 makes is illegal to ride around on skywalker board on any public road, including on the pavement.

Afia Schwarzenegger: What is Wrong With this Photo?

Afia Schwarzenegger
Afia Schwarzenegger

In Chris-Vincent’s latest excellent article titled; “CHRIS-VINCENT Writes: Afia Schwarzenegger, Mzbel, Delay & Diamond Appiah | the Coarse Square of Nuisance,” he described Valentina Nana Agyeiwaa as a ‘real hustler, an alleged former prostitute with strong back in the day trade ties at Adabraka, Accra—with the lowest level of education in the square, loud-putrid mouth which is only great at dishing out insults.’

He continued “She [Afia Schwarzenegger] is great at sending out artillery of insults but very sensitive in handling any when she becomes the receiver—probably, she has not heard of back to sender.

To be fair to Afia, she has a lousy career as a TV/Radio Presenter, founded on her pathetic gruesome personality of insults—she calls it comedy, I call it “ignorance soaked in contempt.” It would be vile for people like Trevor Noah to share the same title with Afia Schwarzenegger, when you evaluate what they do.”

New Music: ‘KPAKPOSHITO’ By Eazzy | Lacking Coherence Yet Danceable

Eazzy
Eazzy

Ghanaian musician-Eazzy has dropped a new single which her people say it’s definitely going to be a commercial success, that song which is going to take over the airwaves—and to be frank, we’ve heard this several times without it materializing.

The beat is one of those you would want to nod your head to and ‘KPAKPOSHITO’ seems catchy but as usual, the song lacks any substantive content.

There is no message behind it and it comes off as chops of lyrics having been put together, lacking coherence.

We understand the era of meaningful songs is long gone but at least, the lyrics must connect to each other…

Listen to the song below
