    BREAKING: Hajia 4Reall pleads guilty to a romance scam in U.S court

    According to information obtained by Kobbyjosvan.com, Hajia 4 Reall has accepted guilty plea to a romance scam.

    Hajia 4Reall is expected to be freed on a $500,000 bond and wear an ankle GPS tracker.
    The U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Damian Williams, announced on Wednesday, July 21, 2024, that MONA FAIZ MONTRAGE had entered a guilty plea to her involvement in the laundering of the proceeds of several romance scams, according to an official report from the US Attorney’s Office.

    “MONTRAGE pled guilty today to conspiracy to receive stolen money before U.S. Magistrate Judge Sarah L. Cave,” the report said.

    According to Damian Williams, “Mona Faiz Montrage was arrested abroad and is currently facing serious consequences for her actions after she knowingly accepted money stolen from older Americans through romance scams.”

    Romance scams such as Montrage’s harmed her vulnerable, elderly victims not only in the cruel betrayal of trust in the realization that their online romantic connection was fiction, but by also callously stealing their money.

    “This Office and our law enforcement partners are relentless in bringing fraudsters who target Americans to justice, no matter where they are,” the U.S attorney concluded.

    It is reported that Hajia 4 Reall entered a guilty plea to one count of conspiring to receive stolen money, which entails a five-year maximum prison sentence.

    The Ghanaian influencer additionally consented to make restitution in the same amount and forfeit $2,164,758.41. Hajia 4 Reall is scheduled to be sentenced by U.S. District Judge Paul A. Crotty.

    U.S. prosecutors claim that Hajia 4 Reall was a part of a criminal organisation (the “Enterprise”) based in West Africa that perpetrated a number of frauds against people and companies in the U.S., including romance scams, from at least in or about 2013 through at least in or about 2019.

    Numerous elderly, single men and women who were susceptible to romance scams were targeted by the Enterprise. The Enterprise routinely tricked victims into thinking they were in a romantic relationship with someone who had a false identity that members of the Enterprise had taken on by sending them texts, emails, and social media messages.

    Several victims of romance scams who were duped into sending money by members of the Enterprise are alleged to have given money to Hajia 4 Reall. Payments to transfer gold from abroad to the United States were one of the many deceptive pretences used to coerce victims into sending money to Hajia 4Reall.

    Over $2 million in fraudulent funds from the Enterprise were received by the mother of one controlled bank account.

  • Never exchange sex for job opportunities – Nana Aba Anamoah advises young ladies

    Never exchange sex for job opportunities – Nana Aba Anamoah advises young ladies

    Nana Aba Anamoah, a multi-award-winning media personality from Ghana, is a proponent of professionalism and moral behaviour in the workplace. She places special emphasis on the significance of young women abstaining from sexual activity in order to pursue career opportunities.

    She said that young women should not give in to men’s advances for sexual relations in exchange for jobs or professional advancement. She underlined that these concessions undermine women’s dignity and self-respect in addition to allowing them to be exploited or taken advantage of.

    Speaking in an exclusive interview with 3Music TV, the esteemed journalist and broadcaster emphasised the value of meritocracy over unethical methods for advancing in one’s career.

    “It’s just that some men think that is how they can exhibit power…If you are a young girl and you are caught up in that situation, I’ll say to you, do not have sex with a man.

    “One girl told me if ‘I have sex with a man it’s not written on my forehead, nobody will know’. Yes, but it is your dignity. If you want to have sex with a man, have sex with a man but not because there is an opportunity at stake, that is your self-esteem gone,” she stated.

    Nana further stated that, despite the fact that she has never experienced such an ultimatum at work, she firmly feels that any woman in a similar circumstance would be better off taking no chances.

    “It is not their fault…if you say watch ‘how you carry yourself,’ then you are apportioning some blame to the young women,” she said, addressing the tendency to hold young women accountable for these situations. “Even though this girl is competent, I must get into her trousers before she gets the job,” believes an insane man. So it is not the young woman’s fault.

    In her opinion, women should never engage in mutual sex because there is a potential risk involved, but if they choose to, it is fine.

    “Of course, you will be confronted with so many challenges that at that point you need the job and the money…However I want to tell every young woman that exchanging sex for a job is not the way to go,” she emphasized.

  • “Staying connected to Shatta Wale on his Konert Album” – Veteran music producer Fred Kyei Mensah

    “Staying connected to Shatta Wale on his Konert Album” – Veteran music producer Fred Kyei Mensah

    Ghanaian phenomenal dancehall and afrobeats musician Charles Nii Armah Mensah Jr., better known by his stage name Shatta Wale, has garnered the love of Fred Kyei Mensah, a well-known and celebrated music producer.

    The seasoned producer commends the Africa Dancehall King for his years of discipline and consistency in the music industry.

    “The ‘On God’ hitmaker personality has received criticism for allegedly starting a few heated debates that attracted attention from the public, but it is undeniable that his presence in the business has had a positive influence”, he stated

    As the father of the creative industry, he has no ill will towards any musician, but he will always patch things up in the area to promote harmony and peace between them.

    He disclosed that his opinion of Shatta Wale was altered seven years prior when he participated in Dr. Paa Kwesi Nduom’s GN Bank Awards programme and emerged as the overall winner of the artiste category.

    Uncle Fredyma encourages fans of music and stockholders to connect with Shatta Wale on his recently released album, “Konert Album,” via his social media accounts.

    He pens:

    “If you poke the eyes of the cadaver, you shall find maggots. The supposed deviants, in a community, would be remembered at least for something good they did while alive.

    I am a father to the creative industry so, i bear no musician any grudge. I try to always mend fences in the industry to bring harmony and peace since i have interacted, worked and have an impact on their lives and Charles Nii Armah Mensah aka Shatta Wale, is no exception.

    The personality Shatta Wale, might have provoked one or two conversations for public attention and therefore, has been chastised or had had altercation with some people based on their perceptions about him. No qualms here however, i will not inherit their dislike for him. The palm ???? fronds, doesn’t shred itself(biribi anko ka papa a…). We see people differently.”

    “My perception about Shatta Wale, changed about 7 years ago when i was part of Dr Paa Kwesi Nduom’s GN BANK awards scheme when he won the overall artiste and was offered a car. The love for him, further deepened and escalated last Saturday on his powerful interview on Power fm 97.9/XYZ . He spoke wisdom! Kudos Samuel Atuobi Baah for this complete transformation.

    One message he sent across was that, we should stop the media war (beef) and make money ???? together. Very potent, concise and precise message which i endorse with my almost 40 years experience in the creative industry.

    I am connected to Shatta Wale on his KONEKT album and his craft henceforth. Go Shatta and shatter all the whales ???? in Wales. No one can bring you down however, be measured when you are provoked. Stream his music whether you are a fan or not. I am a die hard SM fan henceforth so is every artiste. I bought the T shirt ???? worn here to support his brand.
    Good beads don’t rattle., he concluded

  • Only 8% of Ghanaian Politicians Are Sensible – Nana Aba Anamoah (Video)

    Only 8% of Ghanaian Politicians Are Sensible – Nana Aba Anamoah (Video)

    The majority of Ghanaian politicians, according to well-known media figure Nana Aba Anamoah, are “senseless and unpatriotic.”

    Nana Aba said that only 8% of Ghanaian politicians possessed the necessary political savvy and accountability for the country’s governance. 

    She claimed that 92% of politicians, regardless of party, are only in the system to take advantage of the government during a live studio discussion on 3Music TV. The media personality highlighted that these politicians are mostly the loud ones who continuously disparage other people’s intelligence.

    Nana Aba Anamoah

    Never one to hold back, Nana voiced her concerns about the calibre of political leadership and emphasised the need for a more deliberate and responsible approach. The 8% figure she mentioned points to a sizable discrepancy in Ghanaian politicians’ perceived levels of sensibility.

    ”I see so much in this country, and I am looking at some of our politicians. Only 8% of our politicians are sensible across the board. The rest of them are just there, not by dint of hard work, not because they are so passionate about this country. 

    They simply see an opportunity to take advantage of the state, and they are making every effort to do so. I do not even want to go there because they are the intrusive, loud people. She stated, “I think this generation is better than ours because things are changing and I think we could do better.”

    Kofi Kinaata, Ama K. Abebrese named UN IOM Goodwill Ambassadors

    Ama K. Abebrese, a British-Ghanaian actress and film producer, has been named a Goodwill Ambassador for the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) of the United Nations.

    Kofi Kinaata is a musician and songwriter who is one of the nine Goodwill Ambassadors revealed thus far.

    These Ambassadors will serve alongside Olympic champion Sir Mo Farah, who was named IOM’s first-ever global ambassador in November.

    The recently appointed Goodwill Ambassadors will dedicate their support and lend their names to promote the opportunities that come with migration and how it helps talent spread around the world.

    The other seven are: Dimash Qudaibergen, Singer and Songwriter, Kazakhstan (with a regional role for Asia), Club Atletico Peñarol, Football Club, Uruguay, Nicolas Marin Benitez, Photographer, Argentina/Aruba, Paul Choy, Photographer, Mauritius, Mouctar Diakhaby, Footballer, Guinea, Dzanan Musa, Basketball Player, Bosnia, Mirela Sula, Psychologist, Journalist and Author, Albania.

    “IOM Director General Amy Pope expressed her excitement to welcome these extraordinary individuals as IOM’s new Regional and National Goodwill Ambassadors.”

    They are globally recognised as trailblazers and inspiration. Now, they will contribute in a different way by working with us to promote responsible migration and enhance the lives of those who are constantly on the move.

    These Ambassadors were chosen after a rigorous review and evaluation procedure, and they were formally nominated by IOM representatives in their respective nations.

    IOM, the premier intergovernmental organisation in the field of migration, was founded in 1951 and is dedicated to the idea that both migrants and society benefit from humane and orderly migration. In 2016, IOM became a related organisation and joined the UN system.
