  • 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

    Ghana’s Wiyaala & Atongo Zimba made it to the list of ‘Global 500 Greatest Songs of All Time’

    Atongo Zimba and Wiyaala from Ghana have been included in the list of “The Global 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.”

    Wiyaala’s Village Sex and Atongo’s No Beer in Heaven took the 419 and 316 positions respectively.  

    The list was compiled after two years of research by Alan Tigay, a seasoned author and music reviewer.

    Wiyaala recently shared the good news on Facebook, wrote; “GHANA IS IN! 

    The esteemed author Alan M. Tigay of “World Listening Post” assembled the list.

    The “list reflects global reality,” according to Tigay, not limiting itself to “a few genres” or “just the past few years,” and it most definitely goes beyond songs that are performed in the English language, something that authors of such lists, sadly, frequently fail to do.

    He did, however, acknowledge that the “inclusive list” is by no means “final.”

    “If I can offer one insight it would be that the most one can hope for is a list that is impressionistic. In two years of research I have concluded that there must be at least 10,000 songs that merit inclusion in a roster of the 500 best,” he revealed.

    Legendary artists such as The Beatles, Aretha Franklin, Bob Dylan, Edith Piaf, and The West; Africa’s Fela Kuti, Angelique Kidjo, Papa Wemba, Salif Keita, and Miriam Makeba; Asia’s Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhosle, and Teresa Teng; and the Middle East’s Ofra Haza and Googoosh were among those featured on the Global 500 Greatest Songs of All Time list.

    With their distinctive sound, the Wiyaala duo has established a solid niche for themselves and gained a sizable fan base outside of Ghana. 

  • Men Date Broke Ladies Because They Can Abuse & Control Them – Lydia Forson

    Men Date Broke Ladies Because They Can Abuse & Control Them – Lydia Forson

    Ghanaian actress and businesswoman Lydia Forson has explained why most men are drawn to financially independent women.

    In a recent tweet, the well-known feminist clarified that most men prefer to date jobless women who cannot support themselves.

    Lydia emphasised that most men do not like financially independent women, despite what is commonly believed.

    Their incapacity to rule or control them is the cause of this.

    “Some men know EXACTLY what they’re doing when they pick young girls or those who don’t have to spend on. It’s about power and control. It’s why they get so aggressive when they can’t control them any longer. It’s also why they don’t like women who have their own money!! She wrote on X formerly known as Twitter.

    Her remarks have caused a great deal of controversy on social media since then, with many people criticising her for being a feminist.

    While some people agreed with her, others disputed her claims.

    Ghanaian kumawood actor Big Akwes has spoken about the impact Evangelist Mama Pat, also known as Agradaa, had on his life when he worked at Thunder TV.

    He says that after working for Thunder TV for five years under Nana Agradaa, he was given a substantial amount of money that transformed his life and made him a better person.

    He declared that he would always be grateful to Nana Agradaa and that not even his parents had provided him with the kind of support he needed.

    “By God’s grace, I have made a name for myself in Ghana with the aid of Evangelist Mama Pat.” I have benefited more from Agradaa than from my parents combined. She is my destiny helper. I worked with her on Thunder TV from 2017 to 2021. She gave me a significant amount of money, which really helped me out in life,” he remarked.

    Big Akwes stated that, as a way of saying thank you to Nana Agradaa, he will continue to go to her church when he visits Ghana.

    “I still go to her [Agradaa’s] church. I used to go when I was in Ghana. Just that I am not a registered member of the church,” he said while speaking in a TikTok live session monitored by KobbyJosVan.com.

    Big Akwes is said to be in Germany. He says he is not going to stay there permanently; he is just visiting.

    The multi-award-winning Ghanaian dancehall and reggae artist Charles Nii Armah Mensah, better known by his stage name Shatta Wale, has revealed his intentions to assist his troubled colleagues Moesha Boduong and Funny Face.

    The “On God” hitmaker claims that he intends to buy two Shaxi vehicles, which they will use for six months of online ride-hailing services.

    This will give them a stable source of income, he claimed.

    According to the well-known crooner, Shaxi cars bring in between GH¢800 and GH¢1200 per week, which helps relieve the two celebrities who are in need of money.

    In order to finalise the arrangements, Shatta announced that he has given his manager, Sammy Flex, the immediate task of getting in touch with the Funny Face and Moesha management.

    Shatta referred to Moesha as a sister and stated that it is his duty to lessen the financial strain on her family.

    Funny Face, who gained notoriety for his humorous roles in Ghanaian films, has seen his personal and financial situation deteriorate as a result of a public spat with his baby mama. He recently expressed on social media how his unstable financial situation prevents him from seeing his twin daughters.

    Popular actress and social media influencer Moesha Boduong has also been in the news, but for a different reason. Following her stroke, her family started a GoFundMe page to help pay for her medical expenses. Many people are now wondering how fleeting fame and fortune really are in light of the incident.

  • I stayed out of the 2020 elections, I will do the same this year – Akwaboah

    I stayed out of the 2020 elections, I will do the same this year – Akwaboah

    Multiple award winning highlife musician Akwaboah has revealed that he abstained from the 2020 general elections, which resulted in President Akufo-Addo being re-elected for a second term.

    In an interview with Accra FM, the artist claimed that political candidates who are elected to office “eventually come into power and misuse government money” because they fail to keep their campaign promises.

    He has decided not to cast a ballot in the general elections this year because of this.

    In response to Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the NPP flagbearer, who made promises during his lecture on Wednesday regarding tax breaks for the creative arts sector and the launch of new streaming platforms, Akwaboah emphasised that these are just political campaign ploys.

    “We have heard these assurances countless times. It is not only him. He stated on Thursday’s midmorning show on Accra FM, “Anybody who wants political power says the same or something similar, thinking that is what would get them needed attention from the creative arts sector.”

    He bemoaned the fact that certain slick claims frequently work to persuade the electorate’s less knowledgeable members.

    Because “typical Ghanaians are too shy and cower from asking questions” about the ideas and utterances of leaders who are either aspiring or substantive, the situation is made worse.

    He claims that instead of evaluating the validity of promises made by aspirant leaders, Ghanaians are more impressed by charisma and “English proficiency.”

    According to him, this compels people to vote based on “kinship, ethnic, and tribal lines.”

    He elaborated, saying, “I will not say I believe [Dr. Bawumia] or not; we are just hoping that he will keep his promises.”

    When asked if he would join other voters to the polls on December 7. The singer definitively replied, “no,” and disclosed that he did not vote in the general elections of 2020.

    In an attempt to become the next president, the leaders of the two major political parties have started their separate campaigns across the nation.
