  • “Never agree to share an apartment with your wife’s family members” – Kwaku Manu advises men

    “Never agree to share an apartment with your wife’s family members” – Kwaku Manu advises men

    Kwaku Manu, a movie star, believes that sharing an apartment with your partner and family can be detrimental to the development of your marriage.

    In his opinion, living apart from your family as a man is essential for maintaining mental stability and saving your marriage.

    “It will be proper not to stay with your family when you get married,” Kwaku Manu stated in an interview with Zionfelix.

    Both sides benefit from it. Regardless of gender, it is never appropriate to accept an invitation to stay at your family home or to move in with your spouse. Even though you are a nice person, your family will definitely take advantage of you, he said.

    Dramatic circumstances led to Kwaku Manu’s separation from his wife, Dianne Okailey Manu. Divorcing his wife who lives in the United States is confirmed by Kwaku Manu.

    Popular comic Kumawood actor Kwaku Manu and his US-based wife, Mrs. Dianne Okailey Manu, reportedly got divorced in September 2021.

    The couple reportedly went through a dramatic divorce, despite not disclosing any reasons for their breakup.

    Following the event, it was revealed that Kwaku Manu’s continual infidelity to his wife was the cause of their divorce.

    The host of “Aggressive Show,” however, publicly refuted these reports and even criticised the blogger for making such accusations against him.

    Speaking about his failed marriage, the actor acknowledged that he and his wife were officially separated several months after the reports surfaced.

    Yes, Zion, I am divorced. I am the kind that does not stuff things up. My divorce was finalised in the previous year. It is been a while,” he said to Zion Felix during a GhanaWeb-recorded interview.

    When the host inquired about his psychological and physical well-being, he gave a positive response and mentioned that he planned to settle down after finding love again.

    After a few years of marriage, Kwaku Manu and his ex-wife had four children together.

    PomoAtFailaCookathon: Pomo and Chef Faila collaborate to feed for hundreds of attendees

    Hundreds of devoted supporters have flocked to the Modern City Hotel to support Chef Faila in her attempt to break the Guinness World Record. Pomo, a well-known tomato mix brand from the house of GBfoods Ghana, is giving away free hot meals to these supporters.

    As Chef Faila continues to cook, her fan base grows both at the venue and online, so it becomes more important to feed them. This growth occurs every hour.

    Many of Chef Faila’s supporters are not able to taste her food, even though she is producing incredible meals during the record-breaking attempt.

    However, her supporters are neither going hungry nor waning support, as Pomo has stepped in to provide hot meals.

    “We have a celebratory atmosphere which is serving as a huge morale boost for Chef Faila to continue cooking and meet her new goal of 240 hours, we do not want that to stop that is why we are making sure there is food available,” Category Manager at GBfoods Ghana, Yaw Amponsah Darko said in a statement.

    “When the food prepared by Chef Faila is not enough for the hundreds of supporters at the venue, our team steps in to ensure that there is food available to fans and supporters,” he added.

    “We are doing this to ensure that we keep the momentum going and get enough support to carry Chef Faila to a record-breaking time,” he maintained.

    The supporters, many of whom have been at the venue for hours had words of gratitude for Pomo Tomato mix brand for not only providing them with food but also helping to create a supportive atmosphere for Chef Faila.

    Ahlam Tahiru, 41, and a supporter of Chef Faila, who has been at the venue each day was grateful for the action taken by Pomo to provide hot meals for him and other supporters.

    Fatahiya Musah, 37, who is still insistent on tasting Chef Faila’s food was, however, also glad that she at least had food to keep her going from Pomo.

    Afua Asantewaa Owusu Aduonum has finally concluded her captivating Guinness World Record attempt for the singing marathon after an impressive 126 hours and 52 minutes.

    While awaiting verification from Guinness World Record judges, Asantewaa’s effort is believed to have significantly exceeded the existing record set by India’s Sunil Waghmare in 2012.

    The marathon commenced at midnight on December 24, 2023, and concluded on the morning of December 29, 2023. Addressing her supporters after receiving medical attention behind a screen onstage, Asantewaa revealed that she had lost track of time during the five-day endeavour.

    Expressing her hope that this achievement would inspire women and youth across the country, Asantewaa conveyed gratitude for the support received from musicians, politicians, and security officials at the Akwaaba Village in Accra.

    “On behalf of my husband, my family, my team, volunteers, media, Ghana Tourism Authority, I would like to say a big thank you to every one who participated in this singathon attempt,” Asantewaa said.

    “This was a mere dream that was visualised in just five days, I say just because I don’t even remember how it started not to talk of how it ended”.

    “We hope and believe that this will be an inspiration to all women and all youth or individuals to come out of your comfort zone and try new opportunities. There is a lot out there to do when you put your mind to it you will achieve it”.

    She is set to host an all-white Thanksgiving event at 6 pm at the same venue on Friday.

    Medical team explains why Afua Asantewaa ended sing-a-thon

    The medical team of Afua Asantewaa has explained why they advised her to conclude her Guinness World Record sing-a-thon attempt after five days.

    The journalist and former beauty queen brought down the curtains on her attempt to break the world record after 126 hours and 52 minutes.

    This was after surpassing the previous sing-a-thon record of 105 hours, which was set by Indian Sunil Waghmare in 2012.

    Explaining the rationale behind the decision to end the sing-a-thon, the head of Afua’s medical team, Dr Grace Buckman, said there was a need to prioritise her health.

    She noted that Afua’s body system has been affected by her sleep deprivation and that she was beginning to show signs of mental stress.

    “There’s only a point you can go as a person. She has done so well and we are extremely proud of her,” Dr Buckman said, as quoted by the Graphic Online.

    “We have gotten to a point that as a medical team, her health is very important. At the moment, we want her to rest so she will bounce back to us.”

    Meanwhile, Afua is now awaiting official confirmation and verification of her new record by the judges of the Guinness World Record.

    Her attempt to break the record lasted five straight days, having kicked off from December 24 to December 29, 2023.

    Also, several Ghanaian celebrities have stormed the Akwaaba village to lend their support to the journalist and former beauty queen.

    In the last five days, actors and musicians, including Becca, Cina Soul, Sista Afia, Kwabena Kwabena, Eno Barony, Kobi Rana, Sarkodie and Nana Ama McBrown, have all appeared in person to support her.

    Ghana’s Vice President and flagbearer of the ruling NPP Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia was also there to give morale for the record attempt.

  • Portable defeats actor Charles Okocha in celebrity boxing (Video)

    Portable defeats actor Charles Okocha in celebrity boxing (Video)

    After the fourth round, Nigerian street-pop artist Habeeb Badmus, aka Portable, was declared winner of the celebrity boxing fight against Nollywood actor, Charles Okocha, on Wednesday, reports The Punch.

    The fight, which was sanctioned by Heritage Boxing Entertainment, held at Landmark Beach in Victoria Island, Lagos State, started after 1am and lasted about 40 minutes.

    The pair had finally settled their scores with their fists after Portable alleged contractual issues, which led them to engage in an online feud over an alleged N40m rip-off.

    Portable claimed Okocha cheated him out of the money, only sending him a small amount, contrary to a contractual agreement.

    In Round One, Portable took the lead early with a confident start.

    He was adorning a blue pair of knickers and a blue armless top to match.

    He also took full control of the ring and looked to find his range from several jabs to the body of Okocha, who was wearing a red top and red shorts.

    In Round Two, Okocha was back in the game as he had been avoiding blows from Portable, and everything seemed to be in his favour.

    Okocha gained more ground than Portable had in the entire bout, and he was not giving up on amassing more points despite being in the pole position to win.

    His jabs even brought Portable down, and the referee had to come in between them.

    In Round Three, Portable was running around the ring to see if he could bounce back into the game and Okocha was following him around.

    Portable seized some opportunities to retaliate the blows that were descending on him from the round two fight.

    In Round Four, the two celebrity boxers were tired, but Portable was still throwing some direct punches, which caught Okocha unaware.

    Meanwhile, when the referee called for Round Five to decide the winner, both of them declined to continue and this led to the eventual announcement of Portable as the winner.

    Although Portable did not win through TKO, KO, or even by points recorded, with his victory, he clinched the belt while solidifying his position as the deserving champion in the hard-fought bout.

    Ghanaian prolific and seasoned journalist, Samuel Atuobi Baah well known in the entertainment industry as Sammy Flex has an important advice to Ghanaian musicians especially the young one.

    Many of these young acts land on rough grounds due some choices and decisions they make. Artistes must be capable of analyzing critical issues and make the right decisions out of. The journey to stardom turns frustrating leaving these young talents confused and desperate to be in the limelight.

    “It’s my prayer for all young musicians and at large every musician in Ghana to get their due before their expiry date. Don’t do things to impress others and cry in future. Social media will just give you shouts for maximum three days and that will be all. Be smart with your decisions and don’t be moved by the hype. It kills slowly. This is the word of God”.

    Although, social media play vital roles in the lives of celebrities, many are being swayed by the praises and fame instead of focusing on the commercial side of their crafts.

    He advised musicians not to live their lives just to impress people but secure all the avenues within their prime, thus they should make good investments that will yield positive results in their future lives.

    Poverty made me look ugly — Media Personality, Delay opens up on her success story (Video)

    Famed Ghanaian media personality and entrepreneur, Deloris Frimpong Manso, professionally known as Delay has not too long ago shared her life story, shedding light on her not soo smooth journey in the Ghanaian media space.

    According to Delay, she was financially unstable when she first joined the industry. She detailed that people called her all kinds of names including ‘unattractive and ugly’ because she was very poor and couldn’t afford certain basic things that make a woman look good.

    She emphasized that affording basic necessities like body lotion and good dresses during that period proved to be a big challenge, however she never gave up or make that be a threat to her confidence because she knew what she wanted to achieve.

    The media mogul, who doubles as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Delay Foods made this statement during an exclusive interview on Kumasi-based radio station, Pure FM.

    “I’m really a fighter, if you take a look at where I’m coming from…like when I first came into the industry, people said I didn’t have the looks and I wasn’t beautiful….It was poverty. Poverty is not a good thing because it can really make you look bad. Poverty is a killer disease and it’s the truth.

    “Because I was broke, I didn’t have money to buy a good lotion for my body and I couldn’t buy a good dress for myself. So people saw me ‘someway’. They said I was fat, and not fair.. like I mean they said I didn’t have the standard looks. But all these didn’t discourage me, it strengthened me to become who I am today,” she said.
