Onua FM’s late night adult talk show host, Mzbel has sent out a word of caution to all the men who usually send her pictures of their small and big God made ‘sticks’ between their thighs to desist from such as she finds it quite offensive to her personality.
Mzbel made this shocking revelation on her show dubbed ‘Odo Nso’ on Onua FM. The musician and TV show host revealed that some men usually send her the pictures of their dicks after her show to look at the sizes and help them out with ladies to hook up with.
Mzbel sent out a word of caution to such men as she stated that she does the hookups for people who are interested when she comes on the radio and that once the show is done, she does not do the hookups again until she sits for the show again. Nana Akua also added that because of this act of some of these men, she has blocked many of her followers.

Africa Movie Academy Awards 2018, Ghana Won Nothing – Check Out Full List Of Winners

Over 1000 people with disability have been defrauded by Rev. T.A Topper the II Foundation (RTATF), a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) based in Koforidua and led by Ms Matilda Topper.
The Eastern Regional branch of the Ghana Society of the Physically Disabled (GSPD) has therefore appealed to the Inspector General of Police (IGP) to help them collect the registration fees they paid to the NGO and their passport pictures in custody of the NGO.
According to Mr Daniel Agyekum, the Eastern Regional Chairman of GSPD, RTATF promised to provide wheel chairs, food stuffs, money, clothes and free vocational training to people with disability in the region if they registered with the organization.
According to him, many people with disability from different parts of the region numbering over 1,000 registered with the NGO and paid a registration fee of GH¢ 10.00 each with two passport size pictures at the cost of GH¢ 5.00.
The chairman said people who registered with the NGO were also made to buy a customized T-Shirt of RTATF at a cost of GH¢ 20.00.
He said Ms Topper urged all those who registered with her NGO to meet at Jackson Park at Koforidua on September 27 this year to collect their parcels.
Mr Agyekun said on the given date, they went to the Jackson Park and waited in the rain for their parcels but Ms Topper failed to honour her promise.
A victim, Mr Kwame Kusi who spoke with Ghana News Agency (GNA) said, he borrowed GH¢ 50.00 from a friend to travel from Akim Oda to Koforidua hoping to receive something from the NGO and said he now has to go on the road to beg for money to repay his debt and threaten to curse Ms Topper for taking advantage of them.
Reacting to the demands of the persons with disabilities Ms Topper told the GNA that, she had a good package for the new members of her organization which include a vocational training for their children with monthly allowance and wheel chairs but their rude action on the meeting day made her not to present the parcels that she promised them.
Ms Topper said she spent the registration fees to rent a hotel for about six people who arrived in Koforidua a day before the scheduled date of the meeting, renting of canopies and a bus for float and therefore had no money to pay back to the persons with disability who she regards as new members of her organization.
She said she was on her way to Atwia mountains in Ashanti Region for a one week fasting and prayers for divine ideas on how to re-organized the program to give her support to the people with disabilities in the region.
When the issue was reported to the Koforidua Central Police Station, the Police claimed that they could not identify any crime in the relations between Ms Topper and the persons with disability.

Sarkodie apologised to Shatta Wale and all other persons who he may have offended with his actions during his Advice freestyle. Rapper Sarkodie has finally spoken on the alleged beef between himself and dancehall counterpart, Shatta Wale. The two artistes seemed to be getting on well until recent times when Shatta Wale started directing attacks on his colleague. In an interview with Accra-based Hitz FM, the ‘Gringo’ hit maker said Sarkodie once refused to help him shoot a video for a song they recorded together, but had time to visit Nigeria to shoot videos for other artistes.
According to him, the Sarkcess Music boss acted in a disrespectful manner when he decided not to avail himself for the video-shooting of the song ‘M3 gy3 wo girl’. Shatta Wale took the issue further onto social media, insisting Sarkodie’s career could soon fade out if he doesn’t tell his lousy fans to shut up. In all these, the rapper has preferred to be quiet, but he has now finally opened up to speak about his alleged beef with the self-acclaimed dancehall king.
According to him, he is sometimes overwhelmed by the responsibilities placed on his shoulders and normally has to shut. The rapper tweetHey @sarkodie fans behave kwraa cuz your boss when I meet him and I tell him these things everytime ...so shut up and shut up ..You ppl deh kill his career .. Just shut up !!!!!! Sark wan ur fans ooo yoooo !!!!— SHATTA WALE (@shattawalegh) 4 September 2018
Meanwhile, many people believe Shatta Wale’s recent attacks on Sarkodie is just a calculated ploy to hype the launch of his album, which is scheduled for October.Sometimes I feel there's a lot of responsibilities on me and it gets overwhelming so 2 deflect em, I shut down sometimes... Sorry if I trigger some emotions in people around me I will try to to better ... just know I got ❤️ for all 🙏🏾— HIGHES➕ (@sarkodie) 8 September 2018

Ghanaian woke up last week to hear a viral audio of a lady purported to be the girlfriend of Ruff Town label boss Bullet whose real name is Ricky Nana Agyeman storming his house to surprise him only to meet his artiste Wendy Shay naked on Bullet’s bed.
In the audio, the lady revealed that she once saw him sleeping with late Dancehall sensation Ebony Reigns and another White lady. The mention of Ebony’s name raised eyebrows as her dad came out after her demise to state that Bullet was taking advantage of her daughter whiles alive.
This made Ghanaians including controversial person Counselor Luttorodt and Prophet Kumchacha bash them for releasing their alleged “sex-tape” to get the public talking when they know the whole incident was fake.
Some section of the think the new video released by Bullet is just a cover-up for the real incident because the audio and the video for the same event where different and doesn’t make sense.
it was featured in the begiing of the son "the boy is mine" Wendy Shay featuing Eno.
I think i dont know what to say but what do you think?

Ghanaians blast Bullet after releasing “atopa tape” with Wendy Shay
Ghanaian woke up last week to hear a viral audio of a lady purported to be the girlfriend of Ruff Town label boss Bullet whose real name ...
As many other filmmakers and enthusiasts like Yvonne Nelson, Adjetey Anang, Lydia Forson and Fiifi Coleman are firing shots the way of Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko for saying Ghanaian movie makers need to produce content with better storylines, movie director and producer Leila Djansi, agrees with the comment made by the politician.
Leila, who has always been critical of the Ghanaian movie industry, justified Gabby’s post on her Facebook page. Read what she wrote: My dear filmmakers in Ghana. Leave this politician guy alone! What he said about the industry is the truth. I don’t see why there’s so much deflection and insult for him. He pretty much said Ghanaian films have no soul and he is RIGHT. Watching Ghanaian films is like talking to a lover who has dark glasses over his eyes. No connection. The first arguments you all made was that there is no government support. Which government supported any film industry? Industries that have government support got it because of the impact they made on the countries economy. How much impact have Ghanaian films made on the economy? How honest are the players? There is so much rancor and treachery within the ranks. Nothing government can do about that! Whenever you ask a middle-aged Ghanaian for his favorite Ghanaian film, they usually mention “I told you So”. So, I traced the film and watched it and I asked myself, really? Why? Because it’s funny? YES. Because it’s funny. Right, we can’t be serious in any aspect, huh? Everything must be fun.
Step back. Have comedies ever, ever been nominated for Oscars? Let’s use the Oscars as a yardstick. Action films? No. Because these genres are not necessarily “real”. They don’t tell of the HUMAN CONDITION. THE HUMAN HEART. THE HERO’S JOURNEY. You fell in love with old Nollywood because of the CHARACTERS it created. The evil in-law, the blood money guy. It fed your superstition. You looked out for people like that in your day to day life. Grace Omaboe got her name, Maame Dokuno from a character she played. Kweku Ananse is famous because of his character. This is all Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko is trying to say. He watched 10 Ghanaian films and he had no reason to root for any person. His core wasn’t stirred. Instead of being so defensive and making up arguments, how about you listen? My favorite films from Ghana are two. Kukurantuni, The road to Accra and Love Brewed In an African Pot. I didn’t laugh, I didn’t care for picture quality and I wasn’t saying it to please the filmmakers. I like these films because I can’t and have never forgotten the soul, decisions, and actions of the characters that led the story to where it went! Character driven plots. A man returns from work and discovers his daughter was raped. He picks up a machete and steps out of the house into the rain. —Here is our hero. Now, let his actions and choices direct the course of the story HONESTLY. Don’t write what you like. Write his actions and the effect of his actions, remembering that every character in your plot has free will and makes decisions too. Conflict. Who wins? Resolution.
That’s all Gabby is trying to say. The films need human conditions and characters we can root for. So, now that we’ve settled that, name one Ghanaian film that exposed the human condition and had a character(s) you cannot forget? Finally, the media space also needs discipline. Bloggers and journalists. You need integrity and ethics. Don’t receive payment from folks in order to write articles that favor them. Write the truth. Is it good? Say it. Is it bad? Say it. Don’t be tied to anyone’s apron strings because you took money from them to say what they want. It breeds complacency. Our beautiful actresses. Enough makeup. It is enough. Your eyebrow doesn’t need to be on fleek all the time. Our actors, your choices as actors make or break a film.
When you get a script, forget the clothes, forget the premiere, forget how the audience will clap for you and search for a connection to the character you’re being asked to play. Research, practice, watch great actors. Many films have failed because viewers could not connect with the actors. Directors, including myself. Prepare. Find the soul of the story you’re telling before you get on set. You, the actors and the camera need to tell a seamless story. Surround yourself with GOOD PEOPLE. Crew, we know it’s a red camera. You don’t have to abandon your job to take pictures beside it. If quiet on set is called, be quiet and give the actors and directors room to be inspired. Stop chit chatting on set! Do your work! Break down the script, be prepared for everything. Think outside the box. Let your department shine because your department is playing a key role in how the film comes out. The government, tax incentives? There’s vat. Use it! You’ll see a turn in the economy. We need to stop being so defensive and put our films on the litmus test! Remember, the story is KING! So, now that we’ve settled that, name one Ghanaian film that exposed the human condition and had a character you cannot forget?
