Adjetey ‘Pusher’ Anang Dead?

Some Ghanaians woke up Monday to rumours that renowned actor Adjetey Anang, popularly known as Pusher has passed on.
The news came to many as a surprise and considering the fact that not much has been heard from the actor who shot into fame through the popular television series Things We Do For Love, some were quick to conclude that it was true.
Adjetey Anang during an interview with Myjoyonline.com Monday, reacted to rumours stating he is alive and kicking: “No I am not dead.”
Pusher laughed off the reports of his death and said he started receiving calls concerning the issue about three days ago from colleagues and family.
According to him, the news does not come as a surprise to him, considering the fact that several personalities have been falsely pronounced dead before their time.
“I knew that these things can come up sometimes, I’m relaxed and I have nothing to worry about at all,” he said.
Asked what might have fuelled the false rumours, he noted that he has not been ill lately and believes that it might be due to the fact that he had been out of Ghana for a month.
Pusher said, “I was out of town close to a month and I just came in three days ago.”
Asked what might have kept him out of the country for a month, the fine actor said he was on holidays in the US.
Adjetey Anang added that he was also in the United Kingdom to feature in a television series – Abbeam Girls – producer by UK-based Ghanaian producer Abbeam Danso. That series also features Ghanaian actor Prince David Osei.

Sark to the slaughter?

Straight up! Obidiponbidi Sarkodie is leading his newly created clothing like, Sark to the slaughter, I think. I do not wish to compare Sark to other foreign brands but selling a belt at GHC180 and a pair of jeans at GHC250 is rather on the high side of his fans.

People are all under the illusion that anything sold at exorbitant price is good. Sarkodie and his team should not tow that line. They should not see the introduction of Sark as an opportunity for them to get rich quick or overnight. Else he might end up pushing everyone away.

Sarkodie’s Sark collections which include belts, baseball caps, sneakers, jumpers, sweat pants, t-shirts, shirts among others with his face embossed on them are ridiculously expensive. Before the launch which cost uninvited guests 50 Ghana Cedis a ticket, one of his fans commented, “Pay GHC50 just to be part of the launch, then how much will the clothes cost?”

We all know that Sarkodie’s real fans are not the people who are ready to part with big money. Yes, his fans cut across but a great chunk of them are the ones mostly on the street. I was present at the forecourt of the Aphrodisiac Night Club when Sarkodie launched his Sark clothing line designed by Yas.

Quite glaringly most of the invited guests present to witness the launch were not his true fans. They were there because they had received invitations from him or from his team.

After the launch many were the voices that commended Sarkodie for having taken an enterprising step by investing in business ahead of his colleagues in music. But a few months after the launch, keen observers are wondering if Sark will indeed survive or disappear like what happened to the likes of Stephen Appiah’s StepApp and Obrafuor’s OB4.

You know how painful it is when you do something good for someone and the person turns his back on you? This is exactly how the Sarkodie fans are feeling right now. They think the rapper is not being fair to them when they contributed to his successful career. For many of his fans, the artiste has become very expensive that, they have to dole out millions of their hard earned Ghanaian Cedis to be able to purchase few of his collections.

I’m certain that, Sarkodie has read various comments and posts by his fans as they vent their spleen on the expensive nature of his collections. From Twitter to Facebook, the words are that, Sark is very expensive. The reality is that if your true or majority of your followers cannot patronize your products because they are beyond their reach, it means you probably don’t know what you are about. As true fans, they are the ones to be clamoring for your products, if not then there is a problem somewhere.

As a rapper who has moved from being a ‘battler’ on radio stations to an international artiste, it’s fair to say he’s pricing himself out of the market but then has his management and team done a research to know the pocket strength of his real fans? Over-pricing the products just because you do not want just anyone to have one is a lame excuse and could be spelling doom for him.

Talking about paying people for the good they have done for you, I have listened to Sarkodie on various platforms as he elucidated and defended the over-pricing of his collections and I find such excuses very pitiful and preposterous.

On the red carpet of the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards with Confidence Haugen, Sarkodie said: “When you move out of Ghana, they need to hear your CV [talking about his music], what you have back home, you need a movement going on already. First and foremost, they will check your Twitter following, they will check your Facebook, they will check your awards and for me to have 5 on the roll that should tell you that, the guy is doing well…”

When Confidence asked “so how is the shop going?” Sarkodie said “Trust me from the first 3 days if I tell you the money we have made. People say my stuff is expensive. Of course you are wearing Sarkodie… we are coming for the next collections for anyone who can afford it.”

In 2012 Sarkodie co-won the Black Entertainment Television (BET) Best African Act with Nigeria’s Wizkid. Of course the organizers of the BET Awards didn’t pluck Sarkodie from Adom FM’s studios and award him.

It was after he got to the top of his game before they thought he merited that honour. The question is, how did he get to the top of his game?

He achieved this by the help of his true fans who have been with him from day one. So why would they be sidelined now that the act has gone to the zenith of his career?

Presby Pastor In Gay Sex …Pulls Penis of 7 Men

Reverend Kingsford Kusi-Kyere NEWS-ONE has gathered that the Presbyterian Church of Ghana (PCG) is attempting to cover up ongoing investigations into a sex scandal in which seven young men aged between 20 and about 28 have individually accused one of the church’s pastors at the Abokobi branch of engaging in homosexual activities with them. Each of the young men said Reverend Kingsford Kusi-Kyere of the Abokobi Presby had approached them at separate times and stimulated their penis with his palms and a lubricant until they released sperms. Surprisingly, some of the pastor’s neighbours at Abokobi said they were not surprised about the accusations from the young men and revealed there were several other former male workers of his who had a similar story to tell. The young men are all former house helps of Rev. Kusi-Kyere and had worked for him at different times. Some of them have never met and do not even know that they all went through the same experience. Yet they seem to be consistent in their accusations against the senior clergy member and in their narration of the alleged penis fondling and masturbation episodes. Penis Fondling “He called me into his room and just put his hand in my pants and pulled out my penis and started playing with the tip. Then he put some pomade in his hands and started to stroke my penis upwards and downwards. He was using his right hand to do the stroking and his left hand was on my buttocks. “I held his hand and respectfully asked him to stop because I was feeling shy. But he asked me to keep quiet. You see, he is an elderly man and a kind person too and he is my boss and a pastor so you can’t really be rude to him. I was feeling shy and just watching him. He continued until my sperms came out them he cleaned his hands with a cloth and asked me to go. “A few days later, he asked me to quit the job. I suspect he was scared I had told somebody. Because I started avoiding him. I was feeling shy that was why I was avoiding him but it was not because I had told somebody. He eventually sacked me from the house,” one of the boys narrated. All the other narrations had a similar pattern. Each of them said although the pastor was married and had children, he loved to caress their penis until they ejaculated. Pastor Denies When Rev. Kingsford Kusi-Kyere was called on phone and asked whether he was aware some persons were getting ready to drag him to court over a “certain allegation”, he started to deny he ever fondled the young men’s penis even before the reporter could tell him the exact allegation in question. According to the pastor, he treated the young men as his own children when they were staying with and working for him. He also alleged that some of the boys were “very bad and highly immoral” and that one of them was a “womanizer” who wanted to bonk all the beautiful ladies in the neighbourhood. Rev. Kusi-Kyere said each of the boys left because of labour related misunderstandings and that they might be making these allegations against him because they were bitter. Anas Video Ace investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas has compiled a must-see video on the incident and a secret recording of how the pastor is attempting to handle the development. Though Anas is keeping the video to his chest for now, NEWS-ONE has seen it and reports said it would soon be aired on two local television networks, the moment the PCG concluded its internal investigations into the allegations. Meanwhile, NEWS-ONE would put out more shocking revelations in its next edition.       Source: News-One

John Dumelo nears his waterloo as secret tapes arrive from Mozambique

There appears to be no end in sight to the woes of embattled Ghanaian actor John Dumelo.

He’s been caught in another complexity, which has the potential of derailing the gains made over the years as an actor, philanthropist and entrepreneur. It’s not looking good.

Fresh from battling his way out of a supposed on-off ‘fake’ marriage with Harrina Dembele, a US-based model, actress and nurse, details – and they are very fresh – are emerging from the camp of investigative Ghanaian journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas that paints a not-so-good look.

On Thursday evening, the award-winning journalist took to his Facebook page to post what was a ‘warning’ – of a sort – to get the actor to solve issues surrounding a current complexity he’s involved in with a Mozambican lady.

“I am arriving from Mozambique soon, work has been concluded, you would see the thrills. Somebody should be whispering into John Dumelo’s ears that whereas it is a fantastic idea to own a clothing line, it is not ideal to do that at the expense of a three month old baby and the mum,” he said. “I may be forced to release some audio tapes on him on the saga. It is not fair to reap where you have not sown. If the matter is not put to rest in two weeks, i would release them for people to make their own judgement on the Australian issue”.

Anas’ comment thread buzzed with a lot of activity almost immediately as some called for him to release the tapes while others said they were disappointed he’s giving the actor an ultimatum to come clean.

“Anas am disappointed by ur words 2nite why bcos of u some pple have been named, shamed, lost their jobs, prosecuted etc but in John Dumelo’s case u want 2 comprise ur stand & settle de case dis is not JUSTICE,” a follower commented, ostensibly to get him to rescind his decision of granting the actor some favour.

As things stand, it appears with or without Anas releasing the tapes, some substantial damage may have been caused, as Dumelo will have to spend the next few days in explaining himself over and over again, over a subject matter not too different from the Harrina-Dumelo-gate.

The actor, who was last captured by enewsgh.com lenses during the launch of the Ghana Meets Naija concert at the Holiday Inn Hotel in Accra on Wednesday, is yet to publicly respond to Anas’ claims.

But given Anas’ credibility over the years a name and shame journalist, it remains to be seen if Dumelo has an entirely different story to tell away from Anas’ version.

“I don’t have time for any confrontation. I’m busy working on my clothing line to go global as well as my other businesses,” he said, in one of his responses on the Harina issue.

He certainly has his work over the next few days cut out for him by Anas; it is that simple, fix it or find yourself wanting?

Jim Iyke & Nadia Buari confirm that they are dating

When we first got hinted on the current relationship status of Ghanaian actress-Nadia Buari and Nollywood actor-Jim Iyke, many thought that it was one of those mere sayings.

Then the two were seen at almost everywhere from Lagos to Dubai to UK just to name a few places together, many still had the notion that these two were just playing for the cameras.

The beat went on pounding as news hit us concerning the fact that Jim Iyke actually paid his former girlfriend-Kenturah to stage the scene in his ‘Unscripted’ script. Following up on that issue, another one broke that Jim and Kenturah have said “bye-bye” to each other.

That news didn’t sink well to many, though the signs were becoming more visible that even a blind man could envisage an iota of truth in it.

Recently the issue of Nadia Buari having a son just surfaced. Photographs shows that they are replica and nothing can be said to hamper the fact that the boy is for a Nigeria business mogul based in the USA. Before anything less, news have it that Nadia is pregnant for Jim and so on and so forth.

Will it be fair to conclude that these are publicity exploits? Will it be fair to say that we aren’t happy to have an inter-nation union? Will it be fair to say that we aren’t happy for Nadia who has found a ‘good’ ‘bad’ boy?

Finally, yesterday they broke the whole news themselves on twitter telling us that they are dating with Nadia saying he calls her ‘Space’, whilst Jim prefers to be called ‘Skittles’ by her.

All we can say from here is that we wish them well in years to come as the coming days, weeks, months, years will provide more answers and, whatever happens, there will be no shortage of drama.

See their tweet confirmation…

KUMASI: Man Makes $10,000 Every 30 Minutes By Uploading Sex Videos Of Female Partners

The sex escapades of a young man, who makes money by uploading sex videos of female partners on the internet, came to an end last week, when he was arrested by the Criminal Investigation Department of the Ghana Police Service in Kumasi.

Akwasi Asare, aka “Festival”, was picked up by the police at his hideout at Kokoso, near Prempeh College, and is expected to face trial at a Kumasi High Court, presided over Justice Amoh Yartey, on Friday May 24.

The suspect, together with his four other accomplices, who are currently at large, reportedly make $10,000 every 30 minutes by uploading videos of their sexual escapades, via the internet, to their partners based in the United States of America.

The suspects and his collaborators are said to be close associates of Alfred Acheson, the 35-year-old man, who was widely reported to be responsible for the Bekwai Sex video released in July 2011, and had been operating in Kumasi for some time now.

According to two Kumasi-based broadcast journalists, Mallam Yahaya of Kessben FM and Nana Anokye of New Mercury Radio, whose joint investigations led to the arrest of the suspect, Akwasi Asare was picked up by the CID at a time he was having sex with one of his victims, a final year student of the Kwadaso Assemblies of God Senior High School, last week Saturday.

Investigations indicate that the suspects, in the course of sexual act with their female victims, used a webcam on their laptop to record every bit of the moment, and later upload them onto the said website, charging $10,000 for every 30 minutes of the act.

Akwasi Asare is also currently assisting the police in a manhunt for the four other accomplices.

He was remanded in prison custody at his last appearance before the court last Thursday, and is expected to re-appear on Friday May 24.

Still pictures of some scenes of the video, which have appeared on Kessben FM Breaking News Facebook wall, have already attracted several comments from viewers who are condemning the suspects for the dastardly act.
