Actress Fella Makafui and rapper Medikal have been trending for some few weeks now and just some few weeks into their relationship, it looks like Fella is likely to suffer the same fate as the former girlfriend of Medikal Sister Derby. When the issue about the rapper’s cheating habit popped up, a neighbour of Medikal stated that he was not the cheating type but the indoor type and the only ladies he has seen going into his house are Fella Makafui and his ex-girlfriend Sister Derby. A conversation between Medikal and his side chic has found its way on social media and it was first shared by a blogger with the Instagram handle “aba_the_great_one”.

Member of Parliament (MP) for Assin Central, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong is not pleased with government’s decision to use dronetechnology to deliver blood and other health supplies nationwide. To him, the deal is a misplaced priority because the country has inadequate ambulances and lacks enough state-of-the-art health centres. “First things first; before you take the drone to deliver the drugs, you need to check the quality of the drugs and the facilities or the hospitals. I think it’s not a priority. Until we have state of the art hospitals, clinics and polyclinics that can deliver and prevent us from travelling outside for healthcare, then the drones are not a good idea,” he said on Adom TV Tuesday. Government is seeking approval from Parliament to engage Fly Zipline Ghana Limited, a private firm, to design, install and operate Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), subject to the approval of the Public Procurement Authority. The $12 million contract is to enable government fly blood and...

The Juventus superstar would be open to the idea of a long-running rivalry with a Barcelona talisman being rekindled in the Italian top-flight. Juventus superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has suggested that Lionel Messi “maybe needs more” after so long at Barcelona and has invited his eternal rival to join him in Serie A. Two talismanic performers who have cemented standings among the all-time greats spent nine years battling for supremacy in Spain prior to a stunning summer transfer window. Ronaldo’s decision to leave Real Madrid for Turin in a €100 million (£90m/$114m) dealhas left Messi as the standalone five-time Ballon d’Or winner in La Liga. He has offered little indication that he will be treading a similar path to a man he has battled with for so long, with the Argentine being tipped to see out his career as a one-club man. Ronaldo, though, would relish the opportunity to lock horns with Messi again in Italy if the opportunity presented itself. He told Gazzetta dello Sport whe...

Boxing has over the years shown that it is no respecter of persons, and a lack of preparation will surely come back to haunt you. The most notable lesson of them all was when Buster Douglas shocked the world by knocking out Mike Tyson in a fight where the world was patiently awaiting the former’s knockout defeat. The image of Tyson sprawling on the canvas, completely dazed and unaware of his surroundings is still a big reminder that even the great can fall if they get too comfortable. What should’ve been a happy ending to a glorious year – which saw Isaac Dogboe announce himself to the world by capturing the world title and retaining it in style at the first ask – turned into a sucker punch for the British-based boxer. The 25-year-old lost his WBO Super Bantamweight title to little known Mexican Emmanuel Navarette at the Maddison Square Garden. Dogboe was largely expected to dominate his Mexican opponent who was relatively new to the world stage, but the Ghanaian ended up being tau...

The move comes on the heels of a huge debate over whether or not the sale of these items constitutes commercial activities and therefore should be taxed.The GRA Commissioner-General told that the only church activities exempt from taxes are offering and tithes. Joy News “The man of God; is he not an individual? And is he not accountable to the state for his tax obligations? There is an opportunity for us to look at it,” he said, refuting suggestions that taxing businesses owned by churches will be met with stiff resistance.
