KK Fosu Endorses Cheddar and the ‘New Force’ Movement

Highlife artist KK Fosu, also known as Kaakyire Kwame Fosu, has publicly expressed his support for Nana Kwame Bediako, aka Cheddar, and the ‘New Force’ Movement. This endorsement follows the release of KK Fosu’s latest song, ‘Back to Sender,’ where he criticizes those opposing Cheddar after a dispute with the government over the cancellation of a planned rally at the Black Stars Square.

In a significant move, KK Fosu removed his sunglasses while declaring his allegiance to the New Force Movement. He emphasized, “I am a New Force Movement member. I want my face to show while saying this clearly,” KK Fosu highlighted the ideological differences between the New Force Movement, which he described as “freedom fighters,” and the traditional political parties, such as the NPP and NDC, driven by personal interests rather than the welfare of the nation.

The song ‘Back to Sender’ serves as KK Fosu’s response to those attempting to undermine the New Force Movement, particularly its leader, Cheddar. He stated, “I am sending fire to any negativity against him, us or anybody who is our enemy.”
Talking about the incident at the Black Stars Square, KK Fosu suggested that authorities might have seen Cheddar as a potential threat, worrying he could overshadow them if given the chance.

Kanayo O Kanayo advises parents to question the source of their children’s wealth

At a recent event, seasoned Nollywood actor, Kanayo O. Kanayo, delivered a stern warning to parents, emphasizing the need to question the source of their children’s wealth to avoid premature deaths. The veteran actor expressed concern about a growing trend of youth involvement in illicit activities and corruption.

During his address, Kanayo O Kanayo directly implored parents to take a proactive approach in monitoring their children’s financial activities. He highlighted instances where parents overlook the legitimacy of extravagant gifts, such as a 20-year-old daughter owning a N1.5 million phone but offering only N100,000 to her parents without explaining the source of her wealth.

The actor also cautioned against turning a blind eye when a non-working son arrives home with significant sums of money or a car. Kanayo stressed the importance of parental vigilance in combating social ills and unhealthy practices among the youth.

In a passionate plea, he urged parents to ask questions before accepting gifts, linking this caution to the premature deaths of some parents.

“Parents! Parents! Parents! Ask questions before you accept gifts or die young. This is why many parents are dying young. ORIKO,” he emphasized.

He argued that parental complacency only perpetuates corrupt mindsets in their children, and actively participating in guiding their children can contribute to fostering a healthier society.

Sarah Adwoa Safo Calls for Inclusion of Mothers in Ghana’s National Pledge

Amid the global push for gender inclusivity, Member of Parliament, Sarah Adwoa Safo, representing Dome-Kwabenya constituency, advocates for a thorough reevaluation of Ghana’s National Pledge.
She contends that the current wording, devoid of any explicit mention of mothers, is inherently gender-insensitive, neglecting the pivotal role women play in the nation’s development. Highlighting the National Pledge as a symbolic commitment to Ghana’s progress, she emphasizes that the exclusion of mothers undermines the principle of equality Ghana strives to uphold.
Safo calls upon Parliament and relevant stakeholders to review and amend the pledge to better reflect the contributions of women. She points out the omission of mothers in the line “through the toils of our fathers,” stating that it downplays the role women played in Ghana’s struggle for independence.
Safo raises this concern in light of a new provision mandating parliamentarians to recite the National Pledge at the commencement of each session.

Highlife artist, Kwabena Kwabena underscores the importance of women prioritizing their well-being and leaving abusive relationships.
During an interview on Accra 100.5 FM, he advises, “If someone who says he loves you physically abuses you, that is not love. The moment your man lifts his hand to hit you, please leave such a relationship. Even if you are married, if your husband beats you, pack your bags and go back to your father’s house.”

Kwabena Kwabena firmly states, “If my daughter is getting married, I will tell her husband one thing: he either takes care of her or leaves her alone. The moment I hear that she is going through abuse, I would personally go and pick her up from her husband’s house and bring her home.”

He also condemns men who engage in any form of domestic violence, asserting that they “have to bow down their heads in shame.”

New Photos: Defining Wiyaala The Lioness.

Award-winning globe-trotting singer Wiyaala is currently roaring with the harmattan throughout the whole country. The songstress has come under major scrutiny after visiting the beach dressed in a crocheted bikini. Wiyala, known for her traditional and folklore vibe was seen slaying in a bikini that was taking our breath away.

Wiyaala, also made it clear that she was not going to allow a man to tell her what to wear and what not to wear. 

On the back of her support for girl power, she’s had to come hard at event organizers and critics who seem to mellow her shine. In a recent instance, she protested the positioning of her photo on an event flyer which quickly got the organizers to reposition her amongst other male acts.

Amid the recent charade, she has dropped new photos showcasing traditionally made hair that’s blowing away her fans. While other fans still give nice compliments for the new shift and critic the bikini, Wiyaala is firm on not allowing anyone to alter her dress sense.

Ghanaian Gospel artist Cee, also known as Cynthia Appiah-Kubi, has recently shared the challenges she faced growing up in Kumasi.
Her participation in the TV3 Mentor reality show brought her recognition, and her journey was marked by both successes and hardships.

Throughout these challenges, her dad was in Germany working hard to support the family.

Reflecting on her Mentor journey, she shared, “When I went to Mentor, I went with a Ghana Must Go bag. I had nothing on me. I sold pork meat and ice cream. If I don’t sell that day we won’t eat. So I was doing that anytime I closed from school and I had to come back home early and prepare food.”

Underscoring the significance of God’s grace, she emphasized that poverty could have claimed her life.

Cee openly discussed how mockery about her appearance drove her to contemplate suicide. Addressing the harsh reality of poverty, she stated, “Sometimes I have to go to houses to throw trash away and wash people’s bowls to get food.”

Detailing the emotional pain, she recounted, “There was a man who told me I was very ugly… I wanted to commit suicide.” The toll extended to severe beatings affecting her back, but she stressed, “God had a purpose for my life.”
