Posted on by Lawrencia Larbi-Amoah

Afia Schwarzenegger has a cause.

Queen of comedy, Afia Schwarzenegger is livid for a good reason.

In Ghana, it is prevalent to see little kids on the streets begging for money. Moreover, this phenomenon is really deep that they are in every street and every corner.

Most of these beggars are with their parents. Furthermore, there are no thoughts to their safety and wellbeing.

However, Afia Schwarsays she does not understand why people decide on their own to bring forth children they can not equally take care of.

Moreover, she hit the streets of Accra. Afia took her fans through a video of women and their children. Some women were still breastfeeding, sitting in the naked sun and begging for alms.

Furthermore, she made a passioned plea to the Honourable Minister of Gender to take a careful look at such canker and reduce it to the barest minimum.

Posted on by Lawrencia Larbi-Amoah

Dumsor is behind us.

The Minister of Energy, Boakye Agyarko assures Ghanaians about the light off phenomenon.

Moreover, he stated that Ghanaians can say goodbye to dumsor officially. This is because it would never happen again under the NPP’s watch.

Furthermore, Agyarko said the problem was never about capacity but about money to fuel plants.

He said Ghana has always had the capacity. However, the only reason the NDC failed was because they mismanaged funds to be used for energy purposes.

Energy Minister, Boakye Agyarko on Dumsor crisis

“I have always said that dumsor was not a technical problem. It was as a result of financial mismanagement. 

For example if you have a car and you park that car because you don’t have money to fuel it. When someone dashes you money or gives you a loan and you go and buy a brand new car what are you implying? You have to use the money to buy fuel but if you go and buy a car it means you don’t know the problem.

Dumsor will not surface again. We have resolved it.”

Women Are Better Songwriters – M.anifest

Posted on by Peace Agyare

Award-winning Ghanaian Rapper, M.anifest says women are better songwriters.

The God MC rapper made this revelation when he visited the BBC to promote two UK headline performances this weekend.

He joined broadcaster Veronique Edwards in an engaging Facebook Live chat that dished on numerous topics – his music influences, his fashion sense and latest projects on Wednesday.

According to him, women songwriters give an interesting perspective to music and they are refreshing to listen to.

Asked why he thinks women in the music industry are few, the ‘Nowhere Cool’ crooner attributed it to the power dynamics.

M.anifest believes it is down to power dynamics where some men feel threatened by the talents of women, they prefer to let them be in the background.

M.anifest speaks;

“I want to see more women producers…I think that will change the sound and make it more interesting,” he said.

The reigning best VGMA rapper said pitching two female singers against one another is unhealthy. This he explained is because there are lots of space at the summit for everyone. M.anifest believes that the opposite way is rather helpful because it’s more exciting.

“It makes it more exciting because you just can’t have this testosterone-heavy scene which makes it one way. I am anti one way.

“On every show I do, I try to balance the energy with women…I love working and performing with women artiste that is why I worked with them on every album.”

M.anifest, born Kwame Ametepee Tsikata is an internationally acclaimed award-winning Ghanaian musician. He was crowned the King of Ghana Hip-Hop in 2017 when he won Best Rapper and Hip-Hop song of the year at the Ghana Music Awards. M.anifest has worked with the likes of Damon Albarn, Flea, Tony Allen, Erykah Badu, all international acts.

Posted on by Lawrencia Larbi-Amoah

D-Black takes John Dumelo to task over his tweets.

As we reported, on Independence Day, John Dumelo registered his displeasure at the celebrations. Moreover, he stated that there was nothing to celebrate.

However, rapper D-Black disagrees with John Dumelo. This is about allegations that government budgeted millions to celebrate this year’s Independence Day.

Furthermore, the rapper believes that unlike the past National Democratic Congress (NDC) administration, the current government didn’t spend on this year’s celebrations.

Back and forth tweets between John Dumelo and D-Black

D-Black responded,

“The government didn’t budget millions to celebrate Ghana Independence this year bros. Presido said nope! No need. However, last 2,3,4,5 years ago ….” 

His response was to Dumelo’s tweet,

“On 2nd thoughts, there’s nothing to celebrate. Pupils lie on their stomachs to study in Yikurugu, UER [Upper East Region], teachers teach IT with no computers all over the country etc. Yet we budget millions to celebrate 6th March? Ghana without aid starts with us getting our priorities straight.”

After D-Black’s rebuttal of John Demelo’s claim, the actor quizzed, “You know the budget?”

Furthermore, D-Black quickly retorted

“Budget for…? What actually is going on?…What exactly is the government doing…? Bro this is the quietest Ghana Independence I’ve seen in years g.”

Also, not satisfied, Dumelo quickly responded, “Ah Black paaaa….lets meet again next year wai”.

Moreover, D-Black stated that the NDC government spent more on such celebrations during their tenure.

“Make the ppl of Ghana list the ridiculous expenses made on Ghana Independence in previous years for u. And then compare. the past gvt during the era of dumsor spent on scarves, cloth, celebration concerts etc when business were failing and basic necessities for the ppl were ?”
