Godwin Nii-Armah Okine, Managing Editor If you are one of the 114,000 Ghanaians living in the UK* or the thousands of others living outside of Ghana that send money back to family or friends at home, you’ll know that feeling connected with loved ones is so important right now. Especially as we face the challenges that COVID-19 brings to us … Read more
On Wednesday, December 2nd 2020, social media was sent into overdrive after several Ghanaian actors stormed Ayawaso West Wuogon to campaign for the NPP MP for the constituency, Lydia Alhassan. These actors, including Kalybos, Prince David Osei and Bibi Bright, immediately started trending massively on social media, apparently for having ‘betrayed’ their colleague John Dumelo … Read more
Home is where the heart is, the old saying goes. Sometimes when we’re forced to be out our comfort zone, nothing rejuvenates you more than a return to your roots. There are many Africans who would jump at the opportunity to be in a foreign land and never look back. However, when the fire of … Read more
Actress Efia Odo in a bid to sound ‘smart’ and ‘enlightened’ this morning has ignorantly equated the practice of police killing unarmed black civilians in the United States to some ‘prejudice’ she claims exists within the black community. Odo, in a very unfortunate tweet she sent out, engages in a dangerous game of false equivalency … Read more
Ghana’s President, Nana Akufo-Addo has gotten into the habit of announcing sweet measures to the public whose implementation fall far short of what was promised.
The Ghanaian High Commission in the U.K has released a belligerent and largely irresponsible rejoinder to GhanaCelebrities.Com‘s recent article, authored by Founding Editor Chris-Vincent Agyapong Febiri, highlighting what a pain in the butt it is to deal with staff at the Commission. In the vein of the current government declaring themselves corruption-free by clearing every … Read more

The Black Stars of Ghana open their 2019 Afcon campaign with a tricky opening tie against the Squirrels of Benin in Ismaila tonight.

Ever since he reemerged onto the Ghanaian music scene as Shatta Wale after leaving Bandana dead and buried, Charles Nii Armah Mensah Jnr has called himself the ‘dancehall king’, and all of us has allowed him to get away with it.
The bitter truth is Shatta Wale is not a man, much less a king! The head honcho of the Shatta Movement Empire is nothing but a coward.
Spoilers follow for those yet to watch Game of Thrones Season 8 Episode 3, ‘The Battle of Winterfell’.
Nine long years in the making! Game of Thrones has always been about the mystery of court intrigue and the terrible things men (and women) are willing to do to satisfy their quest for power. It is what drives the show and has made it the biggest television show ever made and one of the best-written tv series of all time.
Yet since the very first episode of the very first season, we have known that a time would come when the mystery and intrigue would have to take a backseat for the great war, the battle for humanity’s very survival against the threat of the White Walkers.
*spoilers follow for Game of Thrones Season 8 Episode 1 ‘Winterfell’*
The biggest, most successful and arguably best television show of all time, Game of Thrones, returned Sunday night for its final season run on the cable television network HBO.
Thrones returned from a two-year hiatus with a near hour-long episode which was light on action but featured approximately 10,000 reunions between long-separated characters.
There’s just a gulf of class between almost every production Sparrow Productions puts out there and anything else on tv in Ghana that it seems that they’re not even part of our ailing movie industry.
Shirley Frimpong Manso has long been regarded as one of the best screenwriters in Ghana and every single time you watch a movie (or series) she releases, it’s hard to shake the feeling she is playing in an entirely different league.
Just about a decade ago Ghanaians were introduced to the sweet and bubbly singer Mimi Andani-Michaels, who was professionally known simply as Mimi.
Mimi first burst onto the scene as a reality tv star, appearing on the 2008 edition of Big Brother Africa, representing Ghana.
But she became a real household name later that year when she released her first single titled ‘Leave Me Alone’, which undoubtedly was one of the biggest hits of the year and cemented Mimi as a bona fide star.
It would be an understatement to say some Christians are giving the faith a bad name in recent times with their lack of application of common sense when dealing with issues in the world.
Many ‘charismatic’ pastors have built empires on the back of the fact that people decide to suspend reason when dealing with men of God and are simply interested in giving them blind loyalty.

Pastors and their counterparts, the so-called Prophets, are my favourite people in the entire country, because the shows they often put up are pure comedy gold.
Honestly, you can get more laughs watching an episode of Bishop Obinim or Rev Obofour’s church service than you would attending a stand up show by any Ghanaian comedian bar KSM.
Local car manufacturers Kantanka Automobile have outdoored a new showroom in Achimota to get their products closer to the public.
The company has numerous assembly lines across the country churning out cars at an impressive rate yet are behind in the creation of showrooms to sell and market the products.
Pastor Mensa Otabil does not get the reputation he deserves for being a money hungry charlatan like most other pastors in the country.
Otabil’s nice exterior masks a dedication to enriching himself which other preachers like Obinim are condemned for because they are more flashy.
It’s a perfect illustration of the mess Ghana is in that the above is a serious headline to an actual story and not something one would find on ScrewLife.Com.
In a country where majority of the population refuses to use their brains reality becomes even crazier than fantasy.
A study conducted by the Africa Centre for International Law and Accountability (ACILA) has found that Ghanaians are more worried about homos£xuality than any other issue plaguing our society bar corruption.
The recently released study, conducted in June, found that issues such as armed robbery, rape, high cost of living, poor infrastructure, galamsey, education and many of the other myriad problems in Ghana concern the average Ghanaian far less than the issue of homos£xuality.
In any competent jurisdiction Dzidzor’s kids would be out of her hands by now or at least temporarily taken from her until a court ordered psychological evaluation of her faculties have been completed.
But in Ghana we play too much, preferring to act after a tragedy rather than being proactive and solving it before it occurs.
