fight over aliu mahama’s estate

Barely five months after the demise of former Vice-President Alhaji Aliu Mahama, a feud has ensued among members of his family over his properties. The struggle pitches one Mohammed Aliu, the eldest son of the late Vice-President, on one side, and his stepmother, Hajia Ramatu, who remained the Alhaji’s wife until his demise last year, on the other.

There are also reports of some extended family members interested in Alhaji Mahama’s properties. The late Vice-President’s properties are said to include houses, fleet of vehicles, industries, plots of land, farmlands and an assortment of investments.

Who gets what has become thorny as the late Vice-President reportedly died without a will.

accra mall bans sex in their toilet!

Add caption

It is not a joking matter as the management of the Accra Mall has decided to prosecute all offenders who come to their toilet to wash their kitchen items, change their clothes, buy & sell (only God knows what they are buying and selling), stand on the toilet bowl, brush their teeth, smoke and wait for this…have SEX.

Call this the seven (7) laws of the Accra Mall’s management and you will not be wrong.

Come to think of it, where there is no law, there is no crime and where there is no crime, there is no punishment therefore that could explain the recent position of the management.

It means that if that the law has always been there from the beginning it would have restrained people’s actions and hence no need for this development.

Salafi preacher Alami Adel, who heads the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, says: “According to God’s law, she deserves 80 to 100 lashes, but what she committed is worth much more than that.

She deserves to be stoned to death and she must be quarantined because what she did is an epidemic.
She is like someone suffering from a serious and contagious illness and she must be secluded and treated.”

manchester united vs chelsea: squad sheets

Sir Alex Ferguson has had his own traumas to deal with this week but one suspects he would relish the chance to add to Rafael Benítez's problems at Chelsea. "I'm not going to kick anyone when they're lying down," Manchester United's manager helpfully volunteered at Friday's press conference. "It's not my style." Of course not. Wayne Rooney has also had a difficult week and will be keen to return to the starting lineup. As for Fernando Torres, the memories are fading of the days when Old Trafford feared him more than any other player. This would be a good time for he, and Benítez, to get off the floor. United, however, will want to get the Real Madrid defeat out of their system. Daniel Taylor

Dobble, E.L, Guru and Asem Calls This Years Vodafone Awards (VGMA) "As To Whom u Know Awards"

Just a few hours after Charter House released the nominations list for the fourteenth edition of the annual Ghana Music Awards, hell broke loose within the music fraternity, with musicians like EL, Guru, Asem and Dobble expressing their disappointments.
Interestingly, even some musicians like EL and ASEM who got several nominations still raised issues with the nomination list, questioning the criteria and challenging their fairness.
Asem has his doubts and a lot of questions in mind which he needs a lot of answers by the VGMA Team.. He twitted Bossu Kule and on his wall about those questions..

Asem goes like, “Ok so the nomination list is out and I would like to commend the VGMA board but I have serious questions that need answers….all I have is a curious mind that needs answer.

Let’s go straight to the point and ask VGMA why I wasn’t nominated for Artiste of the Year and hip-life Artiste of the Year?

“Yes I got 7 nominations, am [I] excited about it? Not really because when you deserve diamonds and they give you gold, you ask why the diamond did not come.

Let’s not digress, now let’s go into the technicalities and what factors contribute to making an act Artiste of the Year.

Factors for Artiste of the Year: Release a good Album, Massive airplay on radio, clubs etc etc, performed on major shows, visibility etc etc.

‘I’m not trying to spark any controversy or accuse the VGMA board of foul play.

I’m just a curious mind with questions that need answers.  Let’s not focus on who shouldn’t be there.

The question is why I was not there for Artiste of the Year and from where I stand, I meet the criteria,” an obviously disappointed Asem took to his twitter page to complain

According to one of our best Azonto music icon and Hip Hop Rapper EL, When NEWS-ONE called him on phone Sunday morning to congratulate him for also bagging five nominations, he did not seem excited and complained about similar things Asem had raised on his twitter page. “I am shocked but well they are the organizers and can do what they want to do but I am very disappointed I am not in the nomination for Artiste of the Year. It is strange when you go by the criteria. They should look at the requirements, the numbers and the evidence on the ground and use that as the basis for selection rather than bring together people who may have their preferences and favorites or interests. That is just not fair. “Numbers do not lie and if they had followed the numbers they would have a different list for Artiste of the Year. They should look at the evidence and stop the favoritism. They should look at all the several shows I played in all over the country and in other countries, Australia, London, the States. They should look at all the international recognition and nomination , they should look at visibility and hard work. How can you say ‘Kaalu’ for instance is not popular enough to be nominated for Song of the Year? Funny. “Well fine, Album of the Year and the rest was just to compensate me and I don’t know why they nominated me for Producer of the Year. That award should go to Nshorna Musik because he best deserves it this year and not me. I don’t need it. I’ve been producing songs from whenever; why nominate me now?” E.L. noted. Guru, another musician who has also gotten a lot of disappointments from this years VGMA organisers also twitted his ordeal on his twitter page some few days ago, involving one of the recent hitz tracks in Ghana, Lapaz Toyota

He took to twitter to write: “I am very disappointed, it’s amazing how my hit song “#LapazToyota” was not nominated in this year’s @GHMusicAwards @vodafoneGhana”

Just yesterday, The seke boys, Dobble, who performed in every region and streets of Ghana with their recent single EEE MANA MANA also tweeted that,
'Vodafone, charter haus family and friends music awards lol....A.K.A yenim yehu hahahaha'
This tweet shows how they have gotten disappointments in this year VGMA when their recent single EEE MANA MANA wasnt nominated even once in any of the categories...
This clearly shows that it is indeed a family and friends affair..
