Reasons given by the organisers were not that clear but anytime calls were made through to them, they ask us to stick to their press release. It seems their press statement doesn’t entail a lot since weird details are cropping up.

Though Exclusive Events recently issued a press statement which said the company had sacked the current Miss Ghana, Nana Akua Baafi, from her position and taken her crown from her because of a chain of bad behaviour, it has emerged that the beauty queen was the one who resigned months before that press statement was issued. Second runner-up Crystal Selorm Amudzi also confirmed to Peace Fm ...

...Ahiara Diocesan Clergy, Laity reject bishop Over three years after the death of Bishop Victor Chikwe of Catholic Diocese of Ahiara in Mbaise, Imo State, tension has continued to mount over the appointment of a replacement. The development is currently tearing the Catholic Church apart. Trouble started May 21, 2013, when Fr. Peter Okpaleke, from the Diocese of Awka, Anambra State was consecrated bishop for the Ahiara Diocese, but Clergy and Laity of the diocese rejected the appointment. The two groups opted for an indigenous priest to be made bishop of the diocese. Their argument is premised on the fact that Ahiara has the highest number of Catholic priests in Africa who are eminently qualified to be made bishop. They contend that Awka, with a small number of priests, has more than six bishops, allegedly because of the influence of Francis Cardinal Arinze at the Vatican. They therefore decried what they termed the subtle colonization by Awka, whose bishops have taken over ...

In an interview with Leadership newspapers, Daddy Showkey expressed his disappointment at many Nigerian artists who didn't bother to attend Kefee's burial. He also talked about the time he was sick, and how none of his colleagues bothered to see how he was doing. He says he has no friends in the entertainment industry. Find below... "I was disappointed that artistes did not come to show love to their own. It is not a good thing. The lady died and it is sad for her family. Musicians ought to have showed up and rallied round her people, to show that they care. It was only the gospel musicians that showed up, meaning there is no love in this industry. Nobody cares about you if you drop dead  tomorrow . I told you I was away for 3 years because of my spinal cord injury. Nobody came to visit me during that time. No one from my generation of singers came to identify with me and that is bad for a man who has given much to the industry. This makes me think that we don’t...
