    Men are crazy but we can’t do without them – Tiwa Savage

    Singer Tiwa Savage, a renowned Nigerian, claims that despite men’s “crazy” nature, women cannot survive without them.

    The multi-award-winning singer said she enjoyed working with the “Duduke” crooner. She recently released a song called “Men Are Crazy,” a collaboration with Simi.

    Speaking on MTV Live and as cited by the Daily Post in Nigeria, she called Simi “a queen in Afrobeats” and referred to their partnership as “magical.”

    “My collaboration with Simi is titled ‘Men Are Crazy But I Still Want One In My Bed.’ The inspiration behind it is that men are crazy but we can’t do without them.

    “Simi is somebody that I’ve always wanted to work with. She is a queen in Afrobeats so both of us coming together on such an amazing track is magical,” she said.

    Men are sometimes perceived as eccentric, but Tiwa’s remarks resonate with the understanding of men’s vital role in women’s lives. She acknowledges the quirks of men while highlighting the fundamental interdependence of the sexes and the necessity of their relationship.

    I find it difficult to promote my songs – Nana Acheampong

    Legendary highlife musician Nana Acheampong has stated that he is still involved in the music industry, despite his poor song promotion.

    After his song “Cassanova” became popular, many thought he had given up on music, but the renowned musician explained that a change in leadership had left his works uninspired and ineffectual.

    In an exclusive interview with Tony Best for Akoma FM’s Entertainment 360, the wise highlife artist reaffirmed that he will keep making music as long as he has breath in him.

    “Just last year I released three songs but my problem has to do with promoting those songs so that it will become relevant and withstand the current trend but I am unable to keep up.”

    “Part of my silence in the music industry could also be attributed to a change in management, we haven’t been able to keep up with new developments,” Nana Acheampong said.

    Nana Acheampong made a hint that he and her incredible daughter Gyakie would be collaborating on a popular release shortly.

    With years of experience and a wealth of musical history, the well-known highlife musician is a respected figure in Ghana’s music industry.

    He expresses his satisfaction with Gyakie’s accomplishments, emphasising that singing is Gyakie’s natural talent and that she started preparing for her career at the young age of five.

    In the meantime, Nana Acheampong has dropped a brand-new song called “Ye Wo Nyame,” which means “We have God.” Ye Wo Nyame features Fameye, a young, gifted highlife singer from Ghana.

    The song is currently out and available on all music streaming platforms.

  • Yvonne Nelson calls for vigil to protest “Dumsor”

    Yvonne Nelson calls for vigil to protest “Dumsor”

    Actress and renowned producer from Ghana, Yvonne Nelson, has announced that she intends to organise another vigil in the country.

    For about some months, Ghana has been suffering from ongoing power outages. The brief outages at first gave customers hope that power would be restored in less than five minutes, but it later turned out that this was just a test to see what the ECG’s “timetable” for power outages would entail.

    The Electricity Company has been requested to share a load-shedding schedule in order to assist customers in planning their lives.

    In response, Mathew Opoku Prempeh, the sector minister, called it “disrespectful,” “unfortunate,” and “unexpected,” and he added that if people needed a timeline to be published, they should bring their own.

    In 2015, Yvonne and IMANI Ghana organised a massive protest against the John Mahama administration due to power outages, and a number of celebrities joined them.

    Yvonne Nelson, however, urged Imani Ghana to organise a larger vigil against the Akufo-Addo government in a post on X.

    Celebrated Ghanaian actress says she has been waiting for Imani Ghana to get in touch the way they did years ago.

    “Imani Ghana, can we organize another vigil? I’ve been waiting for you to reach out like you did years back. ( your team made our demo a success ) I’m reaching out myself. The NPP and its leadership

    @NAkufoAddo have taken Ghanaians for granted. #DUMSORMUSTSTOP” She said

    Having previously talked at length about having a condition known as G6PD deficiency, it seems that KODA was not one to back down from talking about his health in public.

    He talked about how, during one bout of illness, he was given the wrong medication at an unnamed hospital in Takoradi. He emphasised how this incident changed him forever and made him demand answers for his health. The video he posted online went over this.

    He stated that he became aware that something was wrong when he began to experience amusing symptoms periodically after receiving treatment over the course of two days in 2016 or so.

    “So, I remember one day being bold enough to google the medication I was given and I noticed that one major element that I was asked to take was a Sulphur-based medication and immediately I told myself that I had a medical condition called G6PD.

    “I know for sure that Sulphur is one of the things that I am not supposed to take. Why the people, they want kill me or what? Because I had taken the medication for over 6 close to 8 months,” he added.

    He voiced his concerns to the doctors upon his return to the hospital, and they apologised; however, that experience only piqued his interest in the diagnosis and treatment the doctors had prescribed.
