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.

Patience Ozorkwor, Funny Face, Rahim, others pick Ghana Movie Award statuette

Nollywood top actress Patience Ozokwor was over the weekend in Accra to pick her statuette for winning Best Actress in an African Collaboration at the 2012 Ghana Movie Awards.

“Thank you,” she said after receiving her gold plated statuette on Friday evening at the rLG office at Osu, Accra where the Ghana Movie Awards statuettes were unveiled.

The trophies for the winners of the awards ceremony were not ready at the time the award ceremony was organized.

Organizers explained that the trophies were impounded in Dubai by immigration officials. But they finally arrived weeks ago; hence the unveiling ceremony which attracted some winners who came for their trophies.

Funny Face, Rahim Banda, and Afia Schwarzenegger (Nana Hemaa), who won Best Actor in a TV series, Best Actor in a Supporting Role English Language and Best Actress in a TV series respectively, picked up their statuettes. Bisa, winner of Best Original Soundtrack for ‘Azonto Ghost’, also picked up his statuette.

Successful Nollywood producer and director Andy Boyo received the statuettes for his compatriots, Alex Usifo, Desmond Elliot and Caroline Danjuma who won the following awards; Best Actor African Collaboration for the movie ‘Off The Hook’, Best Actress African Collaboration with ‘Untamed’ and Best Picture African Collaboration from the movie ‘In The Cupboard.’

He also received the award for veteran Olu Jacobs who won the Lifetime Achievement award for his contribution to the Nollywood and African film industry.

Speaking at the ceremony, David Dontoh revealed that the 2013 Ghana Movie Awards Academy would be made up of a jury and previous winners.

He said they were putting measures in place to improve upon the previous years’ organizations.

32 Ghanaians qualify for Glo X Factor boot camp

Thirty-two Ghanaian singing talents have pulled through to the next stage of the Glo X Factor singing reality show at the final phase of auditioning at the National Theatre in Accra.

The 32, drawn from a total of 50 aspirants who scrapped through preliminary selections in Kumasi and Accra respectively, are the survivors of rigorous screening by celebrity judges, Reggie Rockstone, Onyeka Onwenu and Jude Abaga.

Hundreds of youth, family and friends of contestants thronged the National Theatre yesterday to cheer on their favourites as they sang to impress the judges, qualify for a fiercely contested boot-camp in Lagos and inch close to the $150,000 prize money put up by Glo along with a career-breaking recording contract with the Sony Label.

Ghana's successful contestants incidentally included a Liberian and three Nigerians, all resident in Ghana.

The mood at the main auditorium of the National Theatre was electrifying as the three judges carefully gleaned out contestants for voice quality, showmanship and other qualities.

The auditioning exercise was not without some doses of humour as some contestants virtually sang themselves out of contention and others literally begged the judges to allow them to progress to the next stage with a promise of improving their show.

But judge Rockstone and his colleagues could not be fooled, as they ensured that only the best and most potentially gifted talents were selected.

The thirty-two successful contestants will join their Nigerian counterparts for the boot camp after candidates selected a fortnight ago in Port Harcourt and Abuja are auditioned in Lagos next week.

Raquel advised to expose her brain and not her ‘under’

Dear Raquel,

I may not be your biggest fan or even a fan at all but I must confess that, I have been following your music. I like your voice and unlike those by-force singers that I come across on daily basis, I think you can sing. You are a natural talent. I like what you have been doing recently with Okyeame Kwame on his songs.

The chorus you sang on his Woara song was superb. You sang your heart out and I’m not surprised you are getting more attention as the day goes by. Of course featuring on songs by artistes such as Okyeame Kwame will bring you the needed attention and popularity which you are struggling to get.

I’m still looking for the right adjective to describe that collaboration. It’s one of the best collabo songs to have been churned out in the country’s history. It was flawless. The Rapdacta couldn’t have settled on a better singer. I hail his choice.

How can I continue with this letter and not talk about your performance at the Versatile Show? Gradually I’m liking your association with Okyeame Kwame. As I watched you perform alongside him during his show, I wondered if you had a stint of acting before.

I won’t be surprised if you tell me you used to act at church or school. It’s normal. You were so natural and tagged along well. That performance could win for you an award.

Don’t get carried away Miss. Even though I think you are a natural singer and can sing, your recent exposure is making me believe otherwise. Little by little it looks like you want to be known more as the lady with provocative dressing who exposes her flesh than the singing talent that I have always believed you are.

Your recent costume at the Industry Nights Awards of the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards at Alisa Hotel left much to be desired. Now your style of dressing appears to be overshadowing your musical talent – something I believe should be the opposite.

On that said day, I do not know what you and your costumier were thinking but you exposed so much of your body to patrons. As you walked boldly and seductively during your performance, you excited many males at the venue and made many females frown.

Was it your intention just to show off your tattoo on your right thigh? I wonder who advised you to dress like that. Yes, you may have been wearing a pair of shorts under your skirt but still it left only little to one’s imagination.

Unfortunately, I wasn’t at the event but I watched it at home via GH-One television and it appears you did lots of harm to yourself considering that within minutes of that show, your pictures went viral on the Internet.

I can only imagine how many men both married and single you managed to seduce at the show. I know you will say it’s not your business, but my sister, you didn’t help the Raquel brand at all. If anything, you wrecked the brand further.

I had thought the dissing had died down after the furore two years ago during Citi FM December2Rememba show you forgot your ‘dross’ and in the process exposed your genitals to innocent eyes at the concert.

In the heat of the debate, the Musicians Union of Ghana issued a press statement to call it “costume malfunction” but come to think of it, does the general public and the fans care? Do you actually think they care? All they care about is that you become a role model to the young girls who may be looking up to you to learn one or two from you.

I have realised that since that wardrobe malfunction incident, many Ghanaians have taken a keen interest in your costume whenever you stepped out in the public. That is why you need to be careful about you outfits.

Raquel, I don’t intend to judge you before the actual Judgment Day since human beings are fallible but then who goes about making the same mistake twice? I’m afraid but if you make the same mistakes twice or more, then it doesn’t become a mistake, it becomes a choice.

Would I complain if it was Beyonce, Rihanna or Shakira? I would not because I do not care about them and what they do with their lives. Besides they are not Ghanaians. They do not have direct influence on my little sister Agnes and several other young girls who look up to you as a role model.

I have read a lot of comments concerning your exposure, let me leave you with the best so far “expose what is in your brain and not what you have under!”

Sarkodie clothes Reggie Rockstone @ X-Factor Africa

Reggie Rockstone will be missed at this year’s edition of the Malta Guinness Street Dance, as he has signed up to become a judge on the maiden edition of the show Glo X-Factor Africa in Nigeria.

One thing Ghanaians will also be looking out for is Rockstone’s wardrobe collection.

Rockstone has revealed that he will be clothed by Sarkodie clothing line's Sark Collection throughout his six months on the show.

Sarkodie’s clothing line features T-shirts, baseball caps, accessories and footwear.

The Sark Collection is yet to be launched in Ghana.

Rockstone will reportedly be taking home about 500,000 dollars for the show.

Rockstone has promised to be himself while on screen, but at the same time have fun and choose the best talent.

Glo X-Factor Africa has been crafted to search for new singing talent, solo or a group, aged 12 and over.

The reality television singing competition, which has gained prominence in the US and the UK, is set to also unearth singing talents in the African sub-region.

My boobs are big but sexy - Tracey Boakye

Ghanaian actress Tracey Boakye whose breast has fallen under serious criticisms by Ghanaians after the release of her newly self-produced movie ‘Odo’ has revealed that her two seductive apples even though are big, they are sexy.

Many Ghanaians lambasted Tracey when her new movie ‘Odo’ was released on the market for exposing her boobs on the poster.

The actress who says they are natural and proud of them in an interview said “they are natural, sexy, unique and attractive and I’m proud of them because it speaks well of me. They are not artificial like others do.”

She further added that, they attract men and makes them keep running after her “it’s one of the major things that attracts men for them to keep disturbing me.”

Talking about the sales of her new movie ‘Odo’, the actress cum movie producer said the movie has been appreciated by Ghanaians and the sales are going on well. She attributed this to the message the movie sends out to the public.

When asked if she has ever heard or seen ‘wanna be’ actors and actresses sleep with producers for movie roles, she said “I’ve heard of it before but I have never seen it and I don’t believe it when I hear because I don’t think movie producers will do that.”

Tracey Boakye has starred in over 20 movies which includes ‘Selina’, ‘Odo’, ‘Oh Vera’, ‘Ama Saman’, ‘Ntafuo Wuo’ among others.

Charter House management lacks direction

Let us start by commending Charter House for the great job done over the years. The growth has been steady, and the impact is real. A lot of jobs created as well as a lot of lives have been transformed and again the impact is real.

Like every other business establishment, Charter House started humbly with innovative ideas, did their networking well and today we can all see a success story. It was not void of opposition and challenges but equipped with the mindset to achieve and overcome. Today few friends are lost, and more enemies won in the journey to dominate the entertainment landscape of Ghana.

Now hear it that all is not well with Charter House!

We will not bore you with the opinion of disgruntled musicians or celebrities against Charter House, or the biased argument of dissatisfied media folks but will present herein as objectively as we can that the event house has one problem, and that is ‘Management’.

Perhaps the question on your mind is: How? How can Charter House have a management problem? But remember that a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. We will use the official website of Charter House as our case study and what it teaches us about them.

On the 5th of June 2013, http://www.charterhouseghana.com will be 10 years old, that is a long time, but if the truth be told, the present condition is only appalling.

We toddle with you through the site and then bring you back to the solution they must follow to remain that ‘giant’ we all appreciate them to be.

On the website is a header THE TEAM, comprising of a nine member top management group, the website fails to inform us of their various titles and positions. It also does not provide their qualifications and experiences.

A little of their profile is necessary to get acquainted with them. The placing of the photos may imply the structure of the organization, showing the husband first, wife and then the rest of the members but what is not clear is why the difference in the photos pattern.

The rest were on a green background. What was the need for a different background for the owners? Even the photos used captured them speaking at events.

Since it is a team there is a need for uniformity, there are certain mistakes reserved for newbies hence one can hardly judge this action or inaction as deliberate. What then is the motive for such action? Charter House management only can answer the question.

NEWS & UPDATE - The heading should be changed to ‘History & Archive’. There is no mention of their upcoming VGMA event, no mention of even the Night of 1015 laughs and music. Rather about Night of 1014 laughs but the annoying part is that when you decide to study the history presented before you or when you click to read more, nothing changes. It takes you nowhere.

SOCIAL MEDIA - You can only follow someone who has a destination or place. To demonstrate that Charter House is social they have put up YouTube, Facebook, & Twitter logos, inviting you to follow them, like them, or watch them.

Frankly speaking and at the time of writing, clicking on any of those logos is a scam because you will not go anywhere. However they have a Facebook page but it is not linked to the website.

GALLERY - There are about twenty five folders consisting of events and programs that one will hope to enjoy a rich collection of photos. However clicking on each sends you to one and the same photo. This is indeed ‘the afternoon of 1016 laughs’.

Remember we are using the website of this organization to understand them. The moral here is that no matter your dealings with them, no matter where you are coming from, what you click is your business. That you ought not to depend on what you are seeing as your guide because it is the same picture you will see.

There are broken links on the website, thus, suffice it to say that a company’s website represents them online and you know that the secretive manner of Charter House will not allow one to look into their offline activities. I wonder what else is broken there. It is from small and simple things that great things are accomplished.

If management of Charter House decides to shift blame to another for this, then you can identify another problem as lack of owing responsibility.

Also if by the time you are reading this, and they decide to act fast to fix the abnormalities so as to refute and discredit the writer, fret not. Our work is done as a change agent, and perhaps reasonable companies would seek our input in finding fault with their organization which crucial step necessitates development.

We have identified certain flaws with their website as a case study; therefore here are the 8 ways forward for change:

-Train & retrain your top management team

-Fire incompetent folks

-Try different decision making model

-Improve Accountability & Reporting system

-Honesty

-Hire the best brains

-The Couple should resign & assume a new role

-Get a new CEO

Charter House has a long way to go and will continue to influence the entertainment industry in Ghana, but if necessary changes are not effected, small and simple omissions will continue to compound until prudent competitors assume their acclaimed role as the leading ‘giants’ in entertainment.

Akoo Nana’s new video displays ladies’ naked breast

Hiplife musician Akoo Nana has released a video of his upcoming song Kachina showing naked breast of fresh ladies.

The video which he says will out soon has eight ladies displaying different sizes of fresh boobs.

Although few appear to be falling, there are good ones which that are very fresh and cannot be avoided by any right thinking male adult. The video was shot in Labadi beach last month.

According to Akoo Nana it’s about time we go back to our culture. “We have copied blindly from the Western world which is not the best. I think it’s about time we go traditional and portray our culture and the video is just expressing it.” Akoo Nana explained.

Although the ladies wore mask hiding their faces, any guy who has held the succulent breast of any of these ladies can tell who these ladies are.

Akoo Nana who burst into the music scene four years ago with the name Akoo Nana and after making waves with hit songs like Mugu and Wash and Wear, Akoo Nana says he now prefers to be called Nahna.

Speaking to Newsone in an interview last Wednesday, Nahna said his previous name was not pushing his image as a musician so he needed to adopt another name.

“My fans complained about the name Akoo Nana and after deliberating with my manager George Mensah Britton a year ago about the change of name, I finally came out with Nahna” Nahna said.

According to Nahna real name Yaw Ankrah, not only would his new name push his up there but get him deals. “The pronunciation of Akoo Nana was a bit lengthy and many found it boring to mention but with Nahna, I think it would be easy for everyone to mention. More so, I wasn’t getting deals in terms of performances with the name Akoo Nana but with my new name Nahna I strongly believe I more deals will come my way”.

Not only has Nahna changed his name but his way of dressing and kind of song he does. “I have decided to dress African and do traditional music because that is what will get me up there. I used to dress trendy and do Hiplife but as from now all that has changed.

Wizkid to rock Vodafone Ghana Music Awards

As the date for this year’s Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMA) draws closer, Ghanaians are eager to know which musicians will be performing at the event.

Your authoritative entertainment paper, NEWS ONE, has picked hints that organizers of the event, Charter House, have cast eyes on popular Nigerian music star Wizkid as one of the foreign acts to spice up the show come May 18.

The VGMAs, which happens to be one of the biggest music events in Ghana, brings together international acts to witness and sometimes participate in the annual historic event. Sources close to the management of Charter House say they are still in talks with several other musicians because they want this year’s event to be a spectacular one.

“For now what I know is that we have completed talks with Wizkid and he will definitely be at the show to thrill the audience.

I can’t tell which foreign artiste will be there to perform just yet,” the source confirmed to NEWS ONE. Wizkid was in town earlier this year with his pal Chris Brown for the ‘Chris Brown Live in Ghana’ concert where the famous ‘wee smoking’ on stage took place.

According to our sources, organizers are planning and working hard behind the scenes to get Nigerian’s P-Square and Samini to battle out their ‘Alingo’ and ‘Azonto’ claims on stage.

As to whether Charter House is making any headway with P-Square, we cannot say. Ghanaians just need to keep their fingers crossed till the day of the event.

Rapper Yaw Siki discharged from hospital after near-fatal accident

Hip-life artiste Yaw Siki has been discharged from hospital more than a week after he was involved in a near fatal accident on the Accra-Tema Motorway during the wee hours of Monday, April 15.

The accident occurred around 12am when Yaw Siki and a friend, driver of the vehicle, were returning to Tema after a business meeting in Accra.

The car - a 2004 Toyota Camry - they were travelling in is said to have somersaulted near the Kingsway International Christian Centre (KICC) Dominion Centre.

Yaw Siki, born Isaac Okine, sustained severe head injuries while the driver of the car sustained minor injuries.

The rapper known for the popular hit song Wope Dodo was discharged from the 37 Military Hospital last Thursday, where he was treated.

Charles Adu Koranteng, Manager of Yaw Siki told Myjoyonline.com that Yaw Siki “is fine and he is home now. He is getting better by the day and we are seeing a lot of improvement.”

Touching on the head injuries the rapper sustained, Charles, also known as Mc Coaches said “the stitches have been removed and [the head] is healing.”

According to him, Yaw is now able to speak and has started answering phone calls. He is scheduled to attend regular checkups at the hospital.

I had sex with a married man - Actress

Ghanaian actress Benedicta Gafah has been opening her thighs for a married man and allowing him to enter her panties, NEWS-ONE has gathered.

The man is a popular Kumasi-based business tycoon who is married with two kids.

NEWS-ONE would not put out his name for now so as to save his marriage, but reports say he has started mounting pressure on the actress to become his second wife.

“I didn’t know he was married with two kids, and even though we had sex several times, I quit the relationship because I can’t marry a man who is already married to someone else,” Benedicta told NEWS-ONE.

Reports say she had introduced the man to her parents and talks of marriage had commenced when she realized the man was married with two children.

After the revelation, the actress became not only disappointed for the several rounds of hot sex with the man, but also embarrassed before her friends and family.

“I don’t know how he finds me but he keeps appearing at places I don’t expect to meet him. The other day he went as far as going to my parents to tell them he wouldn’t agree to the breakup. He has appeared on set several times and producers sometimes get angry at me,” Benedicta said and added that she has no idea why the man cannot leave her alone.

“I have tried several times to make him understand that I am no more interested in the relationship but I really cannot understand why he doesn’t want to listen. We stayed together as if we were husband and wife. If I was not onset I was with him but I felt very disappointed when I found out he was married with two kids.”

Benedicta says she is now dating another man she truly loves but fears she might lose him because of the harassment from her ex-lover.

In response to speculations that she may be a ‘wild girl’ due to romantic scenes in a few of the movies she has starred in, Benedicta explained:

“I am not a bad girl as people say and I think it’s about time people got to know the other side of me.”

Benedicta is known for movies such as Mirror Girl, Kweku Saman, Adoma, Agyanka Ba, Azonto Ghost, Poposipopo, Ewiase Ahenie, April Fool, Agya Koo Azonto and Devils Voice.

Should Reggie Rockstone be dropped by GLO for dishonesty?

We all know the idiom ‘honesty is the best policy.’ That even in situations where it is useful to lie, you should always say the truth. It is even a more serious issue when brand ambassadors tell lies to the public and their fans alike.

A brand ambassador represents an organization in a positive manner. It takes skills and a certain amount of expertise and integrity to be a good brand ambassador

It is critical that a brand ambassador be an effective and clear communicator. The ambassador needs to speak and enunciate clearly. He or she also must sense how best to communicate what needs to be conveyed.

On the 18th April 2013 at Aphrodisiac night club, Reggie Rockstone was interviewed by Gladys Owiredu host of the MultiTV Showbiz review, concerning speculations that he would be one of the Judges at the X-Factor. He denied such development and few days later, he tweeted that he is one of the judges.

Why did he lie about it? Only Reggie can answer that, but there are implications for dishonesty.

Depending on how Glo position themselves, if conscious of what their brand ambassadors are doing. As a brand, you buy into the attributes of the star, and if you don’t get those, then you have a right to question the relationship.

Glo may also decide to give him a second chance since a lot of efforts has gone into the X factor preparation, and pulling out will affect the entire plan but that does not speak good of Glo as well.

Nana Ama McBrown steals Emilia Brobbey’s husband

Close friends Nana Ama McBrown and Emilia Brobbey have allowed a man to come in between their friendship.

The two who have been close friends for a very long time do not see eye to eye anymore because Nana has betrayed their friendship by taking advantage of problems in Emilia Brobbey’s marital home and has consciously taken over Emilia’s husband.

Emelia Brobbey’s husband sent her away from her marital home to go back to her parents after he caught his dear wife (Emilia) in a hotel room with another man in what according to Emilia is a set up to destroy their marriage.

Emilia’s husband threatened to divorce Emilia because she cannot be trusted and whiles she was trying to explain and apology for her husband to accept her back with the help of her parents and her best friend Nana Ama McBrown little did she know that her best friend was taking advantage of the situation to steal her man.

This is the scenario in the first movie which stars McBrown to be released after her fatal accident titled “Madamfo” (My Friend). Nana Ama and Emilia Brobbey are best friends in real life and they played the role of best friends in the movie so well until McBrown decided to betray their friendship with her selfish interest.

Emilia Brobbey’s father Ernest Opoku played by Kwadjo Nkansah aka Lil Win a shameless womanizers who takes delight in spending on young ladies of his daughter’s age only to lour them to bed, even added salt to injury when he went to ask his son-in-law to pay a ridiculous amount of money as compensation for leaving his daughter instead of apologising on behalf of his daughter who was at fault.

Now will Jennifer’s (Emilia Brobbey’s) husband marry his wife’s best friend? What will Jennifer who trusts his friend so much do if she realise that the same friend who claimed she was going to plead on her behalf has ended up taking her man. How will Silvia’s (Nana Ama McBrown’s) marriage to his best friend’s husband end?

There are several real life and moral lessons to learn from this movie. “Madamfo” directed by Theophilous Amoabeng and Produced by Ebenezer Ankrah also features Clement Sarfo, Akyere Bruwaa and Bernard Nyarko.

The must watch movie will be released in all movie shops across the nation from Monday April 22, 2013.

Female musicians exploited sexually, Adez calls for support

Upcoming Afro pop artiste Adez (Nana Adez Stokes) is calling on the Ghanaian society to create an enabling environment for female artists to thrive in the music industry.

In an interview with Kojo Akoto Boateng on the Ultimate Drive, Adez revealed that most female artistes find themselves in a dilemma when they start promoting their songs because some people ask for sexual favors before they help them.

According to her, the challenges that female artistes face in the industry are a major setback forth growth of the industry.

She has therefore advised music lovers to support good music and listen to the right artistes.

Adez has worked extensively with legends like Kwabena Kwabena, Kojo Antwi and Obrafour. She says given the right support, Ghanaian female artistes can sell Ghana globally.

Adez recently released the video of her hit single ‘Budiin’ featuring StoneBwoy. She says plans are advanced to shoot a special video of ‘Budiin’ for TV.

Between John Dumelo & Harrina, who is the ‘maradona’?

The whole issue started when a leak on the alleged marriage on the 11th of March 2013 between Ghanaian actor-John Dumelo and USA based Harrina Alexander. As it stands, we decided to see how the whole issue was going to end, but it seems every day there is a new twist to the drama.

At first we thought it was a mere case of publicity stunt as in the case of getting attention but not after an Accra based radio station-Peace Fm placed different phone calls to the two people involved to speak on air. Making this brief, we heard that one party wants to become famous; another party wants an American permit, this and that. The whole scene became and is still confusing.

Between John Dumelo and Harrina Alexander, who is deceiving the public? Why would anyone want to deny and shy away from the being a responsible man or woman? What is it about becoming a ‘star’? What is it about having an American paper?

After both John and Harrina have had their fair share of speaking on air, the issue is becoming more intriguing and funny. It’s becoming a case of one person playing the role of a ‘maradona’. They initially tried to make it vague but as it stands, so many unpredictable and contradictory insinuations have come out.

From our assessment so far, John and Harrina are dribbling and joggling Ghanaians and the world at large better than Maradona did with the ball way back. Just that they are waiting for the perfect ‘hand of God’ to ridicule themselves more.

Their antics in our opinion are strategic, selfish, and ruthless as they are both playing a smart card of who becomes the first opportunist. They are both manipulators of whatever deal they had or will have.

John Dumelo should come out clean by convincing us that the lady is trying to ‘use’ him to gain popularity. He should be man enough to tell his fans whose idea this was and why he got into the whole drama from the onset.

Harrina should provide evidences. She must know that there are prices to be paid in the course of becoming a celebrity. She must understand that self-advertisement as an attempt to become what many people have painstakingly walked into will only result in ridicule.

We are still watching from afar, but it must be clear that before any judgment is passed, there must be evidences beyond reasonable doubt because he who alleges must prove.

Below is the marriage certificate as leaked

Jackie Appiah & Adjetey Annan ridiculed on set

Sometimes when you sit in the comfort zone and watch a movie, you see the celebrities smiling before the cameras and granting interviews, one will never recognize or appreciate the efforts put in by them. They all deserve the praise.

A whole lot goes into a successful movie and what goes on behind the scenes are very important. From what the actors and actresses eat and drink, where they sleep, where they change their costumes etc.

But on this fateful day, our focus is on the disdainful scene we came across on the Venus Films set at the A&C Shopping Mall at East Legon, where two known stars-Jackie Appiah and Adjetey Annan were caught using the car park as their own changing room.

For Adjetey Annan who didn’t see anything wrong said it was “Asaba style” as called in Nigeria. He went on to justify his act that such occurs everywhere in the world.

For Jackie Appiah who recently emerged as the best actress at the Africa Magic Viewer’s Awards choice in Lagos did not condescend too low as a woman but tried to maintain a little bit of privacy by changing in the car.

Imagine the stress and humiliation these two had to pass through all because Venus Films couldn’t provide a common mobile truck which could house the bathrooms, changing rooms, and also double as offices for crew members.

A lot more needs to be done to help our movie industry behave professionally because it is not wise to premier a movie at the Silverbird cinemas, creating the impression that it was of high standard when the actors were totally ridiculed on set.
