Music group, R2bees, who have been making waves in Ghana and elsewhere for a decade now, says it will be difficult for them to go their separate ways. In an interview on Joy FM’s Cosmopolitan Mix show with Doreen Andoh, Omar Sterling (Paedae), one of the members of the group said he couldn’t see anything that could get them separated. According to him, even though they may have their differences sometimes, all such differences are secondary to the music they do. He told Doreen that he has advised music groups like La Meme Gang on how to tow a similar course to remain relevant in the music industry. “You must have differences but the group must be first. And I told La Meme Gang too. Me and Mugeez don’t have issues. You will be surprised what we might argue about. It’s the little things,” Omar said. R2bees is currently promoting their new song dubbed: “Beautiful” off their yet-to-be-released ‘Site 15’ album. Source: AdomOnline.

A South African graduate who is popular for having sex with women for money has spoken out about his job and what makes it so important. Paul Zuluka, 27, said his job is to satisfy women in bed. He charges R400 for one round and R2,000 for 24 hours. Speaking to The Daily Sun about his job as a male prostitute, he said he got the idea in September when he graduated and couldn't find a job. Paul from Meadowlands, Soweto in South Africa, said: This is the best idea I’ve ever had. I love (sleeping with women) and am great at it, so I enjoy every moment. I get money for doing something I love. I help women keep their relationships going and reduce their stress. He continued: I’m a Ugandan. I came to South Africa to get a job, but that didn’t happen so I had to do something. I also get calls from men who offer me a lot of money, but I’m a man and am only available to women. Zuluka says it is also difficult when he has too many clients in one day. He says it becomes a proble

Every once in a while a certain celebrity, for whatever reason they come up with, goes on an unfollowing spree and clears everyone out of their list. Usually, the celeb in question ends up with at least one person left on their list, or in the more extreme cases, they unfollow absolutely everyone. Becca did something similar and has sparked a fan mutiny, with many people unhappy with her for unfollowing everyone. According to some fans who registered their displeasure, following others is how you stay in touch and thus how can they fully support her when she has decided not to follow any of them. As we reported earlier, some of the complaints included : brightgeorges: “I Dnt get it…. y ya get 1.2 million followers and u follow only one person.. sometimes follow ur fans.. it make their day and keep them addicted to everything you do.. @therealfunnyface follows me tho.. I luv that guy die…” henry_1star: “We miss the old Becca we know. I think most of your fans are little di

President Nana Akufo-Addo has said the National Democratic Congress (NDC), in its desperation to come back to power to “create, loot and share”, has resorted to propaganda and falsehood, adding that the biggest opposition party is doing so because it has realised it will spend a long time out of government. Debunking claims by the NDC and its Minority in parliament that his government intends relocating the University Environment and Sustainable Development (UESD) from Somanya to his hometown Bunso in the Eastern Region, the president said on Thursday, 22 November 2018 on day one of his three-day tour of the region that: “I come from the area of Bunso, so it is very easy for them [NDC] to come and tell you that: ‘All the things that are meant for you, he is now taking it to his hometown.’ That is not the basis on which I am governing Ghana. I am not standing only for the people of Akim Abuakwa or Bunso, but I stand for the entire nation of Ghana”. This deliberate act of misinfor

The self-acclaimed dancehall king, Charles Nii Armah popularly called Shatta Wale has threatened to cause calamity in Ghana if Ghanaians do not stop talking about issues concerning him. He added that he does not regard any Ghanaian since nobody has helped him to reach his height as a musician. “Let me make it clear to you, I don’t respect anyone in Ghana”, he said. His comment comes after he was criticized by Ghanaians for describing Ghana as “a village” during his recent performance at Indigo, 02 in London. He stressed that not even his parent and the media had contributed to his success, hence he is ready to face anyone who tries to fight his musical career and for that matter his personality. He attributed his success to hard work and humanity, adding that, “I have never received any royalties from anyone but his struggle in the industry”. Shatta Wale who is currently on his album tour to promote his new album has vowed to teach Ghanaians lessons when he returns from t

 Rapper EL has reacted to Shatta Wale’s claim that Ghana is a village. In a tweet, he used a quote by former American President, John F. Kennedy, to advise the dance hall artiste. Shatta who had described Ghana as a village during his Indigo 02 Arena show in London has explained that his reason for calling Ghana a village is premised on the fact that Ghana is under-developed and the leaders care less about the country’s well-being. “I’ll continue to #GhanaIsAVillage until I start seeing change .., yes I craze .. Wetin better ,country wey hospitals no get bed, Roads all spoil,if leader sick either dem fly out or chopper picks them during accidents ,where the ambulances Dey .. We Dey Village stop the nonsense,” he tweeted. However, EL believes instead of expecting leaders to change the ills of the country, Shatta Wale should be proactive by taking a step in effecting a change that will benefit Ghana. “Consider this Dear brother @shattawalegh Ask not what your country can do for

An 18-year-old student of Eyan Maim Day Senior High School in the Ajumako Enyan Essiam District of the central region who allegedly attempted to abort her four-month-old pregnancy has lost her life. The deceased who was only identified as Diana, a second-year student died at the Mankessim Roman Hospital when she failed to tell doctors that she had a concoction to terminate her pregnancy.

The hopeless and aimless romantic relationship between Fella Makafui and her ‘Mugu’, AMG Medikal which is currently trending on social media, seems to be drifting apart just as we expected. Earlier today, ghanacelebrities.com reported that the YOLO star, Fella has already started begging bloggers to delete every post about her love affair with Medikal from their websites. As to why Fella Makafui is calling on bloggers to remove their posts, little can we say about it, but a post we sighted on Medikal’s Twitter handle seems to suggest that he will cheat and dump Fella sooner that we expect.

 Continuous use of contraceptives among women is a high risk factor that can cause breast cancer, Dr Robert Arkoh, a surgeon has said.

In an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA) on the sidelines of a breast screening exercise held at Abesim, near Sunyani, Dr Arkoh said breast cancer can be managed if detected early and urged women to go for regular medical checkups.

A woman is suing her ex-boyfriend, claiming his ‘abnormally long’ penis stretched her vagina. Silindile Mangena, 29, from Harare, Zimbabwe, said that her vagina was ‘tight’ before she met her ex, Mugove Kurima, in 2016. Kurima, 37, who it is claimed was married at the time, and Mangena fell in love and started a relationship. However, she told the Zimbabwe Mail that she ended the relationship in May after his penis stretched her too much. She said no man can literally fill the gap her ex left. It has not been confirmed how big his penis actually is. She now wants to have reconstructive surgery which costs a massive 150,000 Rand (£8,000) and is taking him to court in order to have him pay the fee. Kurima has not yet responded to the allegations.

  The Mental Health Authority (MHA), has cautioned the public against the use of shisha (a water pump tobacco), saying one puff of the substance is equal to 10 sticks of cigarettes, which is extremely fatal to health. Commonly sold in pubs, beaches and training institutions, the MHA indicated that shisha smokers risked the same kind of infections as cigarette smokers such as heart disease, cancer, respiratory disease and problems during pregnancy. “In reality, because only some of the nicotine is absorbed by water, shisha smokers are still exposed to enough nicotine to cause  an addiction,”  an educator of the Authority, Mr Emmanuel Aboagye Appiah, disclosed  this at a public durbar on drug abuse held in Accra on Saturday.
