    Ama Governor finally called to the BAR (VIDEO)

    Social media influencer Elorm Ababio, better known online as Ama Governor, has at last received a call to the Ghana Bar following a tumultuous journey.

    Miss Ababio was sworn in as a new lawyer today, May 31, 2024, along with 181 other people at the ongoing ceremony.

    Having successfully navigated the controversies surrounding her call to the bar in 2022 and 2023, this is a major turning point in Ama’s career.

    Ama’s call to the BAR was first made public last week when the General Legal Council listed her as one of the new Ghana Law School students to be called to the BAR in an official notice.

    “The list of persons qualified to be called to the bar per a notice issued under the hand of the Director of the Ghana School of Law is not exhaustive and may change upon the General Legal Council’s attention being drawn to certain irregularities,” the official notice said.

    Ama Governor’s path to the bar has been characterised by intense controversy and public attention. Her candour and willingness to share her sexual orientation have made her a divisive figure in Ghanaian society. Her perseverance and resolve have ultimately brought her to this important career achievement, despite the obstacles.

    Social media is buzzing with excitement over her enrollment, with some applauding her tenacity and others continuing to voice their opposition. Nevertheless, Ama Governor’s inclusion on the list of eligible candidates demonstrates her dedication to the legal field.

    On May 31, 2024, the call to the bar ceremony is set to take place. For the 182 people who have dedicated their lives to earning this honour, it will be a momentous occasion. At the Ghana School of Law, the occasion will symbolise the completion of years of demanding coursework and training.

    Ama Governor’s journey serves as an inspiration to many who encounter discrimination and obstacles as she gets ready to enter the legal fraternity. Her narrative emphasises the value of resiliency and pursuing one’s objectives in spite of social obstacles.

  • I’ve stopped going to church because people criticize my dressing – Ahuofe Patri

    I’ve stopped going to church because people criticize my dressing – Ahuofe Patri

    Actress Priscilla Opoku Agyeman, better known by her stage name Ahuofe Patri, is from Ghana, and she has long since revealed why she does not attend church.

    She claimed that Christians “are a little bit judgmental” and that they sometimes lose sight of the reason for going to church.

    In an interview with Joy Prime, she recalled receiving criticism twice for how she dressed for church, saying that she should have at least received a cordial greeting before any remarks regarding her attire.

    “It is a bit much for me when people know you and you attend church because you know how people are.” I have had two experiences when people have made comments about what I was wearing.

    “I felt they could have gone about it differently. I also felt we lost sight of the reason why I’m here to worship God. Maybe welcome me first,” she said.”

    I want to marry a man who will worship me – Ahoufe Patri opens up

    Ahuofe Patri, also known as actress Priscilla Opoku Agyeman, has listed the characteristics she looks for in a potential spouse.

    Recently, Ahuofe Patri emphasised in an interview with Roselyn Felli on Joy Prime’s Prime Morning show how much she values a man who treats her with exceptional care and prioritises her.

    She clarified that as her mother’s only child, she is used to being spoiled and would find it difficult to put up with any kind of abuse.

    “I want someone who will worship me like I’m the best thing ever to happen to him. I’m my mom’s only child, and I’m really overpampered, so he has to worship me,” she stated.

    When asked if financial stability is important, she humorously replied, “If you attend a church, don’t you sing songs of praise for offering sessions? So you can do all of that if you’re not in good financial standing.”

    This suggests that although she values devotion, her financial security is also taken into account.

    She also mentioned that she would rather have a giving partner. Ahuofe Patri is content with her single status and is not in a rush to get married, despite social pressures regarding her status.

    If she finds the right person and marriage fits into God’s plan, she said she would be happy to get married.

    From time to time, Ahuofe Patri has disclosed that a man must be wealthy, devout, and completely enamoured with her in order to want to live a lifetime with her.

    Ghanaian actress and women’s advocate Priscilla Opoku Agyeman is also referred to as “Ahuofe Patri.”After placing among the top 10 in the Miss Maliaka beauty pageant, she started her professional career. Later on, she rose to fame in comedy skits like Boys Kasa with Kalybos.

    Lil Win’s accident: Three-year-old victim has been buried

    Grief and sadness have consumed the family of the late three-year-old boy who died in an accident involving actor Lil Win. They are mourning their son.

    Following his death on Saturday, May 25, while undergoing treatment at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital, three-year-old Emmanuel Richard Ampomah was laid to rest on Tuesday, May 28.

    His father was at the burial grounds on Tuesday, having been discharged from the hospital after suffering a fractured leg in the same accident.

    On Saturday, May 25, at Amakom in Kumasi, it is said that Nana Yaw was in the front passenger seat of his father’s car when it struck LilWin’s Mercedes-Benz.

    Due to the accident, both cars suffered significant damage, and reports indicate that both drivers were speeding.

    On camera, LilWin—who was hurt in the collision as well—was seen being transferred to a different car so she could get medical attention at the hospital.

    The accident severely damaged his Benz, which was registered under his name.

    Even after the incident, LilWin managed to attend the Saturday night premiere of his film, “A Country Called Ghana.”

    Online videos display the actor with bandages covering his forehead and an adhesive plaster applied to his injured right hand.

    LilWin told the audience that he could not overlook the efforts of the people who attended the event, including the local chiefs and other well-known figures.

    Lil Win in trouble after car crash claims life of the 3-year-old child

    Nana Yaw, three years old, perished in a horrifying car accident involving popular Ghanaian actor Kwadwo Nkansah, better known by his stage name Lil Win.

    The collision between Lil Win’s automobile and the one transporting Nana Yaw and his father, Jacob Kofi Ampomah, happened on Saturday in Amakom.

    Eyewitnesses claim that Lil Win was driving rapidly at the time of the collision.

    Nana Yaw and his father were sent to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital after an immediate trip to a nearby medical facility.

    Sadly, Nana Yaw died from his injuries.

    Jacob Kofi Ampomah is currently receiving treatment in the hospital’s emergency room for a fractured leg.

    A thorough investigation and justice are what the bereaved family is demanding, as they are concerned about the delay in getting the victims at the scene medical attention given that the actor seemed to be the centre of attention.

    Yaw Gyamfi, the deceased person’s relative, told Citi News that both police and witnesses confirmed Lil Win was driving too fast and had swerved out of his lane.

    He stressed how important it is to enforce the law in this particular case.

    Despite being hurt, Lil Win attended the opening night of his movie “A Country Called Ghana” in Kumasi on Saturday night.

    While present at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital, his managers declined to comment when contacted by Citi News about the incident.

    The family is preparing for Nana Yaw’s funeral, but they also intend to file a lawsuit to hold the people accountable for the horrible demise in court.

    Don Little recounts being bounced at a night club in UK

    Don Little, the stage name of Ghanaian actor Stephen Atangah, has shared a nightclub incident from his foreign travels that almost resulted in his arrest.

    Don Little talked about the exciting night out with friends abroad in an interview with Giovanni Caleb on TV3’s Showbiz360.

    Don Little went to a nightclub with his friends in the hopes of enjoying a fun-filled, laid-back evening. But because of Don Little’s diminutive size, the security guard at the entrance stopped them, thinking he was a child.

    “I was eager for a night of fun and relaxation. My friends suggested various nightclubs, so we decided to give it a try… They advised me to bring my passport, but I assumed the process would be similar to Ghana,” he explained.

    The security guard questioned him, asking, “Hey little boy, where is your mom?” Despite his friends’ attempts to vouch for him, the guard remained skeptical, insisting that Don Little was underage.

    Don Little confronted the guard because he felt insulted and frustrated, but the guard threatened to call the police if they did not leave the premise .

    Don Little and his friends made the decision to head back home for the night out of fear of things getting worse and possibly getting into legal trouble.

    “I questioned if he recognized my stature back home, but he ignored me, nearly causing an uproar.

    He threatened to call the police and have me arrested. We therefore made the decision to return and end the evening,” he remarked.

    Don Little recently talked about how his height has affected and will continue to affect a number of his life’s opportunities.

    Despite having the required credentials, he voiced worries that his height would make it difficult for employers to consider him for employment.

    He has faced many difficulties as a result of this height discrimination, both personally and professionally.
