    Although many find him controversial, his admirers adore what he does. Despite the fact that you may not like the way he plays the game, he is among the musicians from Ghana whose labours are valued and respected.

    Dancehall musician Charles Nii Armah Mensah, better known by his stage name Shatta Wale, is a Ghanaian who is well-known for his hit songs and multiple awards. He is scheduled to have a national album party for his highly anticipated album, Konelt.

    Following its release, the album has become more well-known and talkable in both domestic and foreign dialogues.

    According to the team, Shatta Wale’s forthcoming album is believed to be the world’s leading album to dominate musical charts. The Konelt Album is the preferred choice by the public despite its distinct lyrical composure and endearing African melodies.

    The head of the Shatta Movement in each of their respective regions will spearhead the album listening party, under the team’s supervision, according to the manager of the Shatta Wale and the SM empire; an opportunity to honour Shatta Wale’s musical journey globally.

    The official release date of the Konert album is set for February 2, 2024, for general public access.

    “This my manager Dey manage me papa. Every weekend, video shoot eiii…something I am not used to” he shared in the post

    Shatta Wale further asked his “Shatta movement” fanbase to “clap for him” (Sammy Flex).

    In a current interview, Sammy Flex refuted the idea that overseeing Shatta Wale can be an enormous undertaking. If one really gets to know him, he says, it is not as hard as it might seem.

    “Managing Shatta Wale is not that difficult if you understand him. It depends on the individual handling him, you just have to understand him and support his ideas. His private life is not my business and if there is mutual respect, you can work with him for a very long time,” he said.

    Louis Vuitton CEO, Arnault surpasses Elon Musk as the richest person in the world

    The CEO of luxury company LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton SE, Bernard Arnault, has eclipsed Tesla CEO Elon Musk to become the richest person in the world.

    Bernard Arnault has surpassed Elon Musk, whose net worth is currently $204.7 billion, to become the richest person on the planet with a net worth of $207.8 billion, according to Forbes’ real-time billionaires list.

    The information was released on Thursday after Musk’s Tesla stock fell 13% on the stock market, resulting in a loss of over $18 billion in net worth. Amidst this, LVMH’s shares surged on Friday, rising more than 13% as of 11 a.m. due to reports of robust sales.

    The company that owns luxury brands like Dior, Bulgari, and Sephora, LVMH, has a market capitalization of $388.8 billion, according to the report, while Tesla’s is $586.14 billion.

    Since 2022, the two billionaires have reportedly been in a tug-of-war over wealth, with Mr. Arnault apparently taking the lead late in that year.

    The top 10 richest people in the world, as per Forbes’ real-time billionaires list, are:

    Bernard Arnault & Family ($207.6 billion)

    Elon Musk ($204.7 billion)

    Jeff Bezos ($181.3 billion)

    Larry Ellison ($142.2 billion)

    Mark Zuckerberg (139.1 billion)

    Warren Buffett ($127.2 billion)

    Larry Page ($127.1 billion)

    Bill Gates ($122.9 billion)

    Sergey Brin ($121.7 billion)

    Steve Ballmer (118.8 billion).

    On the other hand, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Mr. Musk remains the richest person in the world, with a $199 billion net worth.

    The founder of the massive online retailer Amazon, Jeff Bezos, comes in second on the list with a net worth of $184 billion, after Elon Musk.

    With a net worth of $183 billion, Bernard Arnault is ranked third on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.

  • First human brain chip implanted by Elon Musk’s Neuralink

    First human brain chip implanted by Elon Musk’s Neuralink

    Elon Musk revealed that the first person to receive an implant from his Neuralink company—which connects a computer to the brain—has done so.

    He claims the patient is recuperating nicely from the implant. The billionaire further stated that he hoped “Telepathy”—a product—would one day enable people with disabilities, like Stephen Hawking, to “communicate faster than an auctioneer.”

    An implant that helps a paralysed man stand and walk normally was described by Swiss researchers in the journal Nature last year. The implant does this by reestablishing communication between the brain and spinal cord.

    “Neuralink implanted its first human yesterday, and the person is recuperating nicely. Early findings indicate a promising neuron spike detection system. Promising neuron spike detection is seen in the initial results, the user wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

    The goal of neurallink technology is to enable mental interactions between a human and a computer.

    An important step towards the start-up’s goal of helping patients overcome paralysis and a variety of neurological conditions was reached last year when the US Food and Drug Administration approved the company to carry out its first trial to test its implant on humans. Neuralink announced in September that it had been given the go-ahead to begin recruiting participants for the human experiment.

    German coach Jurgen Kohler applies for vacant Black Stars job

    Jurgen Kohler, a German coach, has applied to be considered for the coaching position of Black Stars.

    Jurgen Kohler, a German coach, applies for a position with the Black Stars.
    The 1990 FIFA World Cup winner reportedly applied for the position following discussions with the Ghana Football Association (GFA), according to Joy Sports.

    The GFA-established committee of five people is rumoured to have contacted Kohler in an attempt to find Ghana’s next head coach.

    The 58-year-old is rumoured to have applied after speaking with GFA vice president Mark Addo about the position.

    After their terrible AFCON 2023 campaign, Chris Hughton was fired, leaving the Black Stars without a coach at the moment.

    According to a GFA statement, the next Ghanaian coach needs to fulfil a number of requirements, such as having a winning track record and a philosophy of football that is in line with Ghanaian football culture.

    Jurgen Kohler, a German coach, applies for a position with the Black Stars.
    Along with having over 15 years of coaching experience, the highest football licence in the world, and a history of team rebuilding, organisation, and developing young talent are also requirements.

    Although Kohler has been coaching since the early 2000s, the majority of his managerial experience has been at the lower levels.

    In 2019, he took on the role of interim manager for German third-division team Viktoria Koln.

  • 12 suspects in Major Mahama’s trial received life sentences

    12 suspects in Major Mahama’s trial received life sentences

    The trial of the suspects in the terrible death of Major Maxwell Mahama in Ghana has come to an end with a historic decision.

    It will be remembered that the young military officer caused national indignation and condemnation when he was brutally murdered in 2017 in Denkyira-Obuasi while performing his duties. The court has now served justice by sentencing 12 of the 14 suspected people to life in prison for their roles in the horrific crime, capping off nearly 7 years of legal proceedings.

    Late Major Maxwell Mahama

    The 12 suspects were convicted of the deceased soldier’s murder and conspiracy. The individuals involved are Kwadzo Animah, Charles Kwaning, Emmanuel Baidoo, Joseph Appiah Kubi, Michael Anim, John Boasie, Akwesi Asante, Bernard Asamoah, Kofi Nyame, Akwasi Baah, Kwame Tuffuor, and William Baah, the area’s assemblyman at the time.

    The jury’s decision led the court, which included Justice Mariama Owusu, a Justice of the Supreme Court serving as an extra High Court judge, to find the 12 guilty. Nonetheless, after the jury found them not guilty, Bismark Donkor and Bismarck Abanga were declared not guilty and were allowed to leave the country.

    The case that had been pending in court since 2018 was concluded today, January 29, 2024, when a jury of seven members returned their verdicts following approximately an hour of deliberation.
