 Stonebwoy

Ghana’s only representative at the just ended Black Entertainment Television (BET) Awards says the country's showbiz industry should work hard to emulate the beauty and style of the US-based event.

In an interview with Joy News’ Benedict Owusu in Houston, Texas, the newly married Dancehall act said, “I’ve been here [BET Awards] a number of times and witnessing it over again and what comes to mind is how they intentionally make it happen each time.

“Gov’t Concentrating Efforts On Onshore Oil Discoveries” – Prez Akufo-Addo

The President of the Republic, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has reiterated the commitment of his government to the exploration and discovery of oil in commercial quantities onshore, specifically in the Voltaian Basin.

The focus now is also to explore opportunities on shore. That is why my government is committed to intensifying efforts towards the discovery of oil and gas on shore in the Voltaian Basin,” he said.

The drop-out who stepped into the shoes of Kofi Annan - Kweku Baako

 Kweku Baako

He is either too humble for his exalted place in Ghana’s political and media history or he plays on the minds of naïve or unsuspecting panelists.

When discussing some of the most controversial topics in the media, his most famous preamble is “I am not a lawyer,”… “I am not an economist,” …“I am not an architect.” I am not this or that…But in the end, and in many discussions, he leaves many lawyers on the other side gasping for words; economists crunching in vain for figures and architects clutching to straws in arguments that have no foundation.

As for politicians, he picks and chooses which one to strip naked in a discussion and when you are in his bad books, only few are, you had better come prepared, or you would leave a discussion table looking empty and exposed than you were before you came on it.
