I’ll Sue Any Pastor Who Mentions My Name – Okyeame Kwame Cautions

Posted on by Peace Agyare

Ghanaian Rapper, Okyeame Kwame has cautioned pastors and prophets to desist from publicly prophesying or preaching about the death of celebrities.

According to the ‘Saucing’ hitmaker, musicians are also humans who have feelings and families and are not only good for public spectacle.

Okyeame Kwame, born Kwame Nsiah-Apau, added that he is ready to take legal actions against any pastor who will publicly mention his name in their ‘death’ prophesies.

Okyeame Kwame’s comments come at a time many prophets have publicly taken credit for predicting the death of dancehall diva Ebony Reigns.

Shortly after the death of the dancehall diva however, some pastors/prophets have again come out to prophesy the death of some other artistes of which Shatta Wale is part.

The Rapper further described such prophecies as

This has infuriated many artistes including Okyeame Kwame aka ‘Rap Doctor’ who took to Facebook to air his views on the subject.

He wrote; “All the Pastors, Prophets who are saying publicly that this Musician Will die and this is cursed and this one will that. Please Stop. Artiste have feelings we have families we are not only good for public spectacle…”

He described such prophesies as ‘spiritual terrorism’, adding that “From today if any a pastor publicly mentions my name in this spiritual terrorism I will sue the person!!!!!!!!”

Others celebrities including Kwadwo Nkansah Lil Win, Kwaw Kesse, among others have also condemned such prophecies.

Ebony Reigns known in real life as Priscilla Opoku-Kwarteng met her untimely death in a road crash at Nyamebekyere, in the Brong Ahafo Region on 8th February, 2018.

She was returning from visiting her UK based mother in sunyani when she met her untimely demise.

Some prophesies about the death of Ebony;

After her death however, some pastors are claiming they had premonitions of the death of the dancehall singer.

One of such Pastors is the head pastor of Gracious Fire House Chapel, Prophet Richard Gyimah. According to him, he had a vision on Saturday, December 2, 2017, when he was about to preach to the youth of his church that the artiste will die in a car accident just like the way Terry Bonchaka died.

“There is a young girl who sings, her name is Ebony. From now till July 2018 she will have a car accident and she will die. Nothing will save her,” he said.

According to him, the young artiste had consulted something but that thing she consulted will kill her by July 2018.

“I’m a prophet so I speak prophetically. She will not get missing like Castro but she will die the same way Terry Bonchaka had a car accident,” he said.

Five(5) Reasons To Wear Seat belts

Posted on by Peace Agyare

 You have no doubt seen a couple of advertisements and public service announcements that declare the great need to wear one’s seat belt while in a car.  While the vast majority of studies still prove that wearing your seat belt is one of the best ways to protect yourself in a vehicle, everyone knows of someone who will swear blind that the only reason they emerged from a car accident unscathed is because they were unencumbered by a seat belt. Admittedly, there are always exceptions that prove the rule, but there shouldn’t be a debate when it comes to this issue – if you’re in a vehicle, strap in!

1.It’s an offense not to wear seat belts

 If you’re caught not wearing one, you could find yourself facing expensive fines and consequences.

2. It protects your brain and spinal cord

A seat belt is designed to protect these two critical areas. Head injuries may be hard to see immediately, but they can be deadly. Likewise, spinal cord injuries can have serious consequences.

3. The beeping sound from modern seat belts are just plain annoying

Sparing the annoying onomatopoeia, the constant beeps, honks, and random noises that you car uses to remind you to buckle up don’t go away.

4. Sudden breaking won’t throw you forward

While examining your surroundings, you’ll find yourself slamming on the breaks to ensure that you don’t run an unexpected red light. While your vehicle comes to an abrupt stop, you won’t. Wearing your seatbelt can prevent this awkward and rather aggravating occurrence.

5. Makes good use of airbags

Air bags are much more effective when the driver and passengers are wearing their seat belts. If you’re not wearing your seat belt, then your body will most likely not remain in the position in which the airbag can protect you.

Pastors Who Predict Celebrities’ Death Must Be Arrested – K.K Fosu

Posted on by Peace Agyare

Hiplife artise, K.K Fosu has called on the government of Ghana to arrest any prophet who predicts deaths of celebrities.

According to him, government must arrest all prophets and pastors who come out publicly to predict the deaths of celebrities in the country.

K.K Fosu’s call comes on the back of the untimely death of female dancehall act, Priscilla Opoku Kwarteng, popularly known as Ebony.

Prior to this, there were so many prophecies by some prophets pertaining the demise of the 20-year old songstress.

Some industry players as well claimed to have had premonitions of Ebony’s death.

This has not gone down well with K.K Fosu who believes that such assertions put fear and panic in the lives of these celebs.

Kaakyire Kwame Fosu was speaking in a phone-in call on Dr. Can’s Saturday Morning Show on Happy FM.  The ‘Anadwo Yede’ hitmaker who sounded very emotional and angry stevened his frustration and disgust at the act. He pleaded with the government to arrest all those pastors to deter others from doing same.

K.K Fosu is however not the only celeb to express his anger at some prophets making public prophecies about celebs.

Other celebrities including Shatta Wale, Kwadwo Nkansah Lil Win, Kwaw Kese and a host of others have all condemned the act. According to them, some wicked people can take advantage of such prophecies and cause harm to celebrities. These people will in the end go unpunished.

Things We Unknowingly Do To Our Bodies That Are Actually Harmful

Posted on by Lawrencia Larbi-Amoah

Our bodies are the vehicles through which we live. There are several ways we take care of it. However, there are certain things we do to our bodies that unknowingly harm it.

Harmless Things That Actually Harm Our Bodies

Squeezing Pimples

Squeezing your pimples might seem normal. However, it can actually cause you your life. There is a region on your face known as the “Nosalabial Triangle”.  Any pimple you burst around this area may affect you. This is because the veins around this area are connected directly to your brain vessels. Therefore, so squeezing them can get your blood infected with pus which can lead to health complications. The best thing to do when you have pimples is to talk to a dermatologist. Also, stop using any pomade, lotion, make-up or cream on your face for a while and always clean your face with an antiseptic.

Cleaning Your Ears With Cotton Buds.

This is my favourite thing to do. However, we are putting our ears at risk of infection. Removing wax from your ears with a cotton bud does not really get rid of it. Rather, it rather pushes it further deeper into your ears to places it is not supposed to be. This can damage the eardrum and can affect your hearing. The fact is the ear wax you always want to get rid off are actually there to protect you. The wax after collecting dust and foreign materials in your ears will fall off on its own while more is produced to protect your ears.

More Dangerous Practices

Sitting For Long Hours.

Due to the nature of jobs, people are sitting often. But, that’s something that’s definitely not good for our health. When you sit down, the muscles in your leg go off, the expenditure of energy within your body sharply reduces and after several hours, the blood in your veins stagnate, your metabolism slows down, your neck and back begin to ache and after about 2-3 months. After, you will experience muscle atrophy and this brings about weight problems, varicose veins, heart and digestive problems.

 

Drugs

Drug abuse is one of the things that kills us a lot. These drugs aren’t just limited to cocaine or heroine. The drugs are ones people self-medicate with. Self-medication is dangerous as we might not be aware of the effects of certain drugs on our bodies. We need to see a doctor before we take any drugs.

Alcohol

We all enjoy an occasional drink. However, generally, excessive alcohol is dangerous to your body. It has devastating effects on the body. It is not wrong to drink alcohol, but you need to do it in moderation. Drinking excessively can cause problems to your internal organs. It can even lead to alcohol poisoning.

 

The Death Of Ebony Has Given Me A Rude Awakening – Efia Odo

Posted on by Peace Agyare

As Ghanaians continue to mourn the death of Priscilla-Opoku Kwarteng, best known as Ebony Reigns, many celebrities have taking to social media to eulogize the late songstress.

Photos of the late Ebony keeps popping up on various social media platforms with words of disbelieve and shock.

Many celebrities have taking to social media to eulogize her and share a few moment they have had with her.

From all indications, Ebony Reigns left smiles and memorable moments in the minds and hearts of all those she came into contact with.

Many Ghanaians however still are shaken and surprised at the sudden demise of such a great talented and young artiste.

One of such people is Efia Odo.

As is written in the Holy Bible, ‘For what shall it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul?’ The sudden death of such a young and vibrant artiste has indeed taught many of us great lessons.

In one of her numerous eulogies, Efia wrote how she still can’t believe Ebony is gone forever. She added that the death of Ebony has given her a ‘rude awakening.’

Efia writes;

“Ebony my love I just can’t believe this. We spoke not too long ago. death doesn’t care about who you are how rich or poor you are it doesn’t care how beautiful tall or short you when it comes it comes like the wind and when you’re gone you’re gone with the wind. You can be here today and gone tomorrow.” She wrote

She advised all to learn from the sudden death of the young songstress. “We must learn from all of this my friends and family l. This death of my friend has given me a rude awakening. Ebony I can not say much but I love you and may your soul Rest In Peace my beautiful angel.”

Efia Odo is known to be good friends with the late songstress. Perhaps, they both ‘clicked’ so well because they had a lot in common.

Talk of beauty, Efia and Ebony cannot be left out. Both cannot be left out of the ladies with natural ‘endowments’ in the showbiz industry as well.

Aside these traits, they were both caught in the same web when it comes to choice of clothes. Well, another thing about them was the fact that both were not fond of putting on ‘brassieres’.

Efia Odo, though being an actress is widely known for what most Ghanaians call ‘indecent dress style’.

Just like the Late Ebony, Efia Odo has also received lots of backlash in terms of her choice of clothes.

However, a close follow up of the actress in for sometime now shows she has changed from her previous choice of clothes to more ‘appropriate ones’.

Ebony Reigns met her untimely death in a gory car collision on Thursday February 8, 2018.

You’re supposed to relax every 10-12 weeks. Don’t make it a habit of over-relaxing the hair. It weakens the hair follicles. Also, avoid using too much heat when you have relaxed hair. Try to air dry the hair. Also, avoid flat ironing and blow drying your hair often.

 

Use coconut oil.

Coconut oil is good for building hair protein. It helps prevent damage to the cuticle/hair as it penetrates deeply into the cortex of the hair. Therefore, little to no protein is lost.

Use protein treatments.

Hair must be treated at least every fortnight. Use products that have “hydrolyzed protein” as they are small enough to penetrate into the hair cortex, i.e. hydrolyzed keratin, hydrolyzed collagen, hydrolyzed animal protein. All these help your hair become thicker and your head fuller.

Cut off split ends.

We know you are trying to grow the hair. However, split ends impede growth of hair. You need to trim off thin ends so that it can grow well and be healthy. Maintain your trimmed ends on a cycle that works for you i.e. mini trims every 8 weeks, trims every 3 or 6 months etc.

Okyeame Kwame On National Thursday African Wear

“President Kuffuor during his time instituted President’s Special Initiative that urged Ghanaians to put on African wear. It has changed the industry. Also, tt has improved the textile industry. It has improved the arts; more tailors became designers, look at the magazines that came up because we started believing in ourselves.” 

Furthermore, he called on Ex-President Kuffuor to encourage Nana Addo to add Thursdays to Fridays are official African Wear days.

“I was asking ex-President Kuffuor to tell Akufo-Addo to add the Thursday to the Friday. Then the next President will add the Wednesday, the other one that follows will also add the Tuesday until Mondays which we all find boring, then we wear European clothes. I believe that if we do that, the arts industry will grow.”

He made this appeal after a programme held at the residence of President Kuffuor. The programme was to launch an endowment fund ahead of activities to mark Kuffuor’s 80th birthday which will be celebrated this year.

Okyeame Kwame as part of his role to Kuffuor Foundation will be holding musical concerts to raise funds in support of the cause.

Although it is true that no one knows when he or she is going to finally exit this world, some people are of the believe that departed ones often leave traces of their death. It’s almost as if they had premonitions of their death.

A few people who believe this however believe that same can be said for the ‘Maame Hw3’ hitmaker.

Ebony Reigns, born Priscilla- Opoku Kwarteng was born on February 16, 1997. Yes, it was left with just a few days for her to celebrate her 21st birthday. She rose to fame with her songs ‘Poison’ and ‘Kupe.’ She has since then never ceased to disappoint her fans as she kept releasing hit after hit tracks.

Africans are of the strong believe that a woman should dress up to cover her body. For this reason, many Ghanaians were in a banter with Ebony Reigns. She was criticized a countless times about her choices of costumes. Many advised her to change her style of dressing. Some even went as far as calling doom on her if she didn’t change her choice of costumes.  Amidst all these, Ebony came out to say she was being ‘herself’ and wasn’t going to change for anything. However, some changes in her costumes later showed that she was beginning to heed to these pieces of advise. Nevertheless, she was hailed for her great talent and unique and powerful voice.

The UK- based Ghanaian Gospel musician in eulogizing Ebony wrote he was glad to have showed her love in the smallest possible way from afar. It is not clear what both of them talked about or the kind of help Mr. Badu had extended to her. However, the ‘Baaba’ hitmaker went ahead and posted a screen shot of the ‘Hustle’ hitmaker’s thank you message to him. It reads;

“OMG

This is where it all ended. Ebony Reigns passed away on her way to Accra after visiting her family in Sunyani. Her folks were so happy seeing her that they just couldn’t stop snapping pictures and taking videos of her. Another notable thing in the video in which Ebony was last seen with her family was the fact that there was also another man of God in the video. Did she go there to say ‘goodbye’ to them or ‘ I shall return?’

5. Was she prepared or not for this other journey?

Ebony was loved and at the same time criticized by many Ghanaians. Many wished her doom and now she’s finally gone whether you believe it or not. She was a very lively fellow whose smile could melt ones pains away. As she’s no more, many are attributing her death to all sorts of things.However, what matters now are the signs she left behind. She was in her last days always in contact with powerful men of God. Nobody knows how prepared she was but whether she knew she was going to die or  not, she’s gone. Her music however, will continue to live and so is all that she did whiles still on earth.

Rest in perfect peace Ebony Reigns.
