Civil suit against Goil

The survivors of the June 3rd fire/flood disaster at the Kwame Nkrumah Circle sue GOIL, the Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA), the National Petroleum Authority (NPA) and others including then AMA CEO Oko Vanderpuye for gross negligence.

According to the plaintiffs, numbering 69, they have suffered irreparable harm from being injured in the disaster.

Many have suffered severe burns or other serious injuries which has left them unable to work to earn money for themselves.

They are therefore praying the Accra High Court to grant them damages to the tune of Ghc 40m.

Ghanaian rapper, Sarkodie advices upcoming artistes. Furthermore, his advice was a word of caution to upcoming stars. He stated that they shouldn’t put all their hopes on releasing one hit song and thinking everything would be fine after that.

Moreover, according to him, it’s better to build an everlasting brand which would sustain the artist.

Sark said releasing a hit song is easy. However, staying relevant is more difficult.

Sarkodie talking about hit songs and superstar status

“As an artiste, my advice for the young ones is that they should focus on building the brand which is the hardest way but the easiest that allows you to relax and … it lets you make money anytime you want… We say we need hit songs which is very easy. People don’t know but hit songs are very easy. You can say something and it hits tomorrow but that doesn’t mean you have a stand in the industry.

If hit song is about to save certain people then we have thousands of hits by one person but the person still doesn’t have stand. So it means the focus should be on building that deep love for your brand from the people. How you do it is individual strategies.”

“Bob Marley is dead and gone but his family receive money from his music frequently, meanwhile we are alive yet we don’t receive even a pesewa from our music.”

The interview

Musician/comedian Kwame A Plus reacted to the arrest of Kwesi Nyantakyi. However, he has a different outlook on how things went down.

Furthermore, a while back the rapper claimed that officials at the Presidency charged large sums of money. Moreover, they took the money from people to book appearances with the President. Coincidentally, this is similar to what Kwesi Nyantakyi was doing in the Anas video.

Furthermore, he mentioned deputy Chiefs of Staff Francis Asenso-Boakye and Abu Jinapor as those who collect the money. Also, in Anas’ video Nyantakyi mentioned Asenso as he’s always with the President.

Read A Plus’ post about corruption at the presidency

Kwasi Nyantakyi is only being sacrificed to cover up the 89/178 million dollars GVGKelni stinking scandal. Just about a year ago I accused Asenso of being corrupt. Hon. Kennedy Agyapong is said to have also accused Ursula Owusu of being corrupt and alledged that people are charged huge sums of money before they are allowed to see the president. We were both invited by the CID. A year on, Imani Ghana is asking the same Ursula Owusu to resign because of some shady deals at the communication ministry and NCA. It is even suspected that this dodgy deal is the reason why a board member has resigned and many who do not want to be implicated in anyway will follow.

Also, it is being reported that Kwasi Nyantakyi asked people to go and bribe the same Asenso so that he reminds the president of their deal. Out of 27 million people in Ghana you think it’s only Nyantakyi who knows how “cheap” Ghana is and who to bribe? We are only hearing about this one that has backfired. It is possible that some have gone through that we don’t know of

It is even possible that they went and paid. Who knows?

More of the statement

Kwasi Nyantakyi according to reports financed Nana Addo’s campaign. He knows who he dealt with. He knows How It is done. That is why he is said to have told them what to do. The fact of the matter is that 90% of his campaign donations if any wouldn’t get to Akuffo Addo. Somebody chopped it.

The alledged corruption didn’t begin at the flagstaff house, it begun before they won power. Kwasi Nyantakyi was in the house most of the time. He knows them. The five million, if not paid already, I suspect would have been paid to someone at the office of the president to be given to him which would have never gotten to him. You can not bribe Nana Addo. How dare you!!! As for his people, most of them are as cheap as kelewele and greedy. They dey chop pass the old man ein back nyafunyafu. Money just dey call them for their brain like trotro wey e dey run suhum Nsawam, Suhum Nsawam, mɔ kɔ Takwa, mɔ kɔ Takwa, suhum Nsawam, Suhum Nsawam.

Nana let me give you a hint. Do you know that some of you appointees are spending as much as hundred thousand Ghana Cedis (one billion old Ghana cedis) on airline tickets to a single destination and back? Plane ticket from Ghana to say korea and back back alone cost hundred thousand Ghana Cedis. Just the plane ticket. We are really protecting the public purse!!!! ??????
