Kim and Kanye are reaching a level of celebrity that few other couples can come close to matching.
The level of attention that follows their every move is out of this world. And with the addition of Saint to the already adorable North, a celebrity in her own right- expect the crazy levels to be racheted all the way up.
Dr Kwabena Donkor is one hell of a ballsy minister. Of all the ministers, his portfolio has had the worst year, with the never ending power crisis. And of all the ministers, he is also the only one who has promised to resign by the end of they year if his sector’s issues are not fixed.
Yet, Honourable Dzifa Attivor has somehow lost her job, and Kwabena Donkor is set to have a job into the new year. It’s not because he fixed the dumsor, but because he is trying a trick of lexicon to wiggle out of his very clear promise.
The fallout from the Ghc 3.9m bus rebranding saga continues unabated, and Ghanaians are braced for whatever is coming out of it.
The transport minister tendered in her resignation on Wednesday, for her role in the entire sag- following the Attorney General also submitting a report on the issue to the Chief of Staff- and it seems this is the first consequence from it.
China’s industrial development in the past few decades has been monstrous, and has yielded significant benefits to the nation. China are now truly one of the world’s superpowers, and even traditional superpowers like the US are beholden to them now.
Yet at what cost? The country’s environment is taking a huge beating due to the heavy presence of industries. Air pollution in the country’s cities is now pretty much par for the course.
Efya is one songstress who has come a long way, from her humble beginnings on ‘Stars of the Future’ as Jane, through rebranding herself as Efya; and to her current status as arguably the top vocalist on the local scene.
And the singer is not ready in any way to relinquish that status. Speaking with Amanda Jissih on Hitz Fm, she noted that she has no plans towards getting married anytime soon.
Peace Hyde is one lady who, if you try to fathom how the contour lines on her body work- might leave you in the hospital.
The TV personality and entrepreuner appeared on the morning show on GhOne TV on Wednesday, and she was asked about whether she had any beef with Dumas.
The Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Marrietta Brew Appiah-Oppong, has submitted to the Chief of Staff her report on the Ghc 3.6m branding saga that has engulfed the country lately.
The saga involves branding 116 commercial buses which were acquired to augment the fleet of the Rapid Bus Transport system in the capital. Each bus was branded with the likeness of former Presidents of the Republic, and somehow that cost the taxpayer Ghc 3.6m.
Christian colleges are a dime a dozen in Ghana these days. It seems like they are on every street corner. You have to be hoping they are imparting some good, Christian education into their students.
Although the kind of people the system is breeding is not indicative of that.
Often people complain about the repression in so-called Islamic nations, and often people hit back that they aren’t all the same. They aren’t, but taking measures like banning a celebration of other people’s faith just sends the message of how repressive you are.
Recently, the Kingdom of Brunei banned the celebration of Christmas within its borders. Whilst Christians would be allowed to celebrate within their own communities, they have to alert authorities beforehand- and the country’s majority Muslim population are to be shielded from the Christmas festivities, as it might ‘damage their faith’.
Abraham Attah played a gripping role as a increasingly desensitised child soldier in this year’s critically acclaimed ‘Beasts of No Nation’, and from that first award at the Venice Film Festival, the recognition keeps coming in.
Since winning the Marcello Mastroianni’s Best Young Actor award at the 2015 Venice Film Festival, the awards and nominations have been flowing in for the young actor.
President John Mahama and his band of merry men, whom only countryman Songo can accurately describe for us- have decided that maybe the ‘sika diee’ is too much, and it is time to make some public commitments to curbing it.
Except, even on that; the President cannot make a proper gesture. The difference between first class and business class, on the airlines that actually separate those two- is so small as to be negligible.
And it is a truly profligate bit of spending, with no practical value- obviously over inflated to line up the pockets of some unscrupulous bastards in government. Even those involved in doing the job has shown how they and the entire country is being taken for a ride, considering they charged far far less than the figures government claim.
Former FIFA President Sepp Blatter, as someone who has run the world’s most powerful football body for so long, might be feeling quite like the drug addict suffering from withdrawal syndrome.
Blatter and UEFA head Michelle Platini were both handed eight year bans from the sport for their involvement in a scandal, involving Blatter paying some money to the Frenchman in a not so transparent manner.
ECG has in recent times been carrying out this initiative to grab those using several illegal methods to dodge having to pay their bills. This is the second time the story of a pastor caught in this web has hit the news.
Michael Mensah was arrested in East Legon for using illegal connection to run his church last month, and it is now the turn of Reverend Kwame Boateng to face the law for a similar crime.
They say every country you go to on this earth, you are bound to find a Nigerian there. I think the more accurate saying would be, everything you want on this earth, you’ll find it in Nigeria.
Pictures went viral on social media over the weekend, showing people using a ladder (the type you’ll see masons or electricians using), to disembark from an aeroplane.
Middleweight Gabriel Rosado, looking for his first win in five bouts, outpointed Ghanaian Joshua Clottey, picking up a unanimous point decision in their fight at the Turning Stone Resort & Casino in Verona, New York.
Rosado won on all three judges’ scorecards, wining 96-94, 97-93 and 97-93. Former world champion Clottey started the brighter of the two, but faltered in later rounds.
Former FIFA President Joseph ‘Sepp’ Blatter has largely escaped any punishment for the imploding organisation that he left behind him, many officials in the grips of authorities, under investigation of some kind.
However, Blatter himself and former UEFA head Michelle Platini were involved in their own mini scandal, regarding a payment made to Platini by Blatter back in 2001.
A legal battle has commenced between the Africa Middle Eastern Resources Investment (AMERI) Group and the Norwegian newspaper, VG.
VG broke the story on the deal between AMERI and the Power Minister, which apparently inflated the price of the ten turbines from $220m to $590m. Another bone of contention was that the deal involved a man wanted for fraud in Norway.
This is something we hear about all the time, artists being unable to play a show for one reason or another, incurring huge losses to those promoting the show- inevitably, their a** gets sued for it.
Often we don’t play by the rules in this our industry, but if someone knows the rules and decides to enforce them- there could be some trouble for the offending artiste.
Nicki Minaj performed on Saturday night at a party in Angola, thrown by Unitel, a communication company owned by the daughter of Angola’s President and Africa’s richest woman- Isabel Dos Santos.
The sudden and tragic death of Diana, Princess of Wales, was a sad affair for the British public and many more across the globe, as she was widely beloved.
She married Prince Charles on July 29, 1981, and a slice of the cake from their glamorous wedding has been preserved since, and was placed on auction in Los Angeles on Thursday (December 17).
Chelsea shocked most of the football world on Thursday when they announced the dismissal of Jose Mourinho, who despite having a torrid season is easily the best coach in the history of the club.
Languishing at the bottom rungs of the table and needing a steadying hand immediately, the club has moved ahead to appoint Dutchman Guus Hiddink, to take charge in the interim until the end of the season.
