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...

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.

Some co-tenants of Diana expressed shock at the incident with others saying the news was not surprising at all. “She is a very reserved girl but she has been extremely quiet of late and we have been questioning if she was sick but she insisted she was fine but when we realized what the situation was, it was too late for anything to be done to save her life,” Diana’s fellow tenant said. Mr Francis Omega who helped the tenants to convey Diana to the hospital said this was no news t...

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.
