An acute water shortage has hit three wards of the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital for the past two weeks, forcing patients and nurses to shuttle between the affected wards and the Maternity Ward to meet their water needs.

Although hospital authorities maintain that private water suppliers are providing water for the facility, evidence at the Surgical Ward, as well as the Orthopaedic and Accident wards, suggests the contrary.

When the Daily Graphic visited the Surgical Ward last Tuesday, the washrooms had been closed down and a member of staff (who refused to give her name) indicated that water had not been flowing at the ward for the past two weeks.

A 32-year-old driver Stephen Akrofi Ocansey who is accused of defiling his girlfriend’s 11-year-old daughter, on Wednesday, appeared before an Accra Circuit Court.

Nine locally made pistols, 13 single barrel guns, seven single barrel engine, 24 gun barrels, five gun butts, three live cartridges, 16 empty cartridge shells and one double barrel gun were part of the items retrieved from the suspect upon his arrest at his workshop.

Sarkodie

As legendary music producer Hammer once said, “Sarkodie has grown from a talented artiste to a superior artiste”, it is with no doubt that the brand Sarkodie is the biggest in the world of hiplife music in Ghana. Sarkodie has grown to be the best hiplife artiste in the country since 2007 when he started commercial music and that was manifested last Saturday at Ghana meets Naija concert when a young lady lay down under his feet with tears.

At the fourth edition of Ghana meets Naija concert at the Accra international Conference Center, the BET award-winner was undoubtedly the best act on the night. During Sarkodie’s performance, something strange happened which will remain in the minds of Ghanaians forever. Benedicta Ofosu, a fan of the rapper who could not control her emotions jumped out of her seat and run to lie under Sarkodie’s feet weeping aloud like a baby and begging the two times artiste of the year to touch her. This feat by the lady made the multifaceted rapper cry on stage after he lifted and embraced her.

Alan Kyeremateng and Akuffo Addo

The rivalry between opposition New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) twice-defeated flagbearer: Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo and his closest adversary in the race, John Alan Kwadwo Kyeremateng (Alan Cash), has assumed a frightening tempo as supporters of both sides resort to death threats.

The social media (particularly Facebook) is replete with verbal attacks from individuals and new groups purporting to support either of the two candidates ahead of tomorrow’s crucial National Executives Meeting in Accra.

The Republic newspaper gathered that the feud apparently became terrifying when a section of the party proposed Akufo Addo should contest on the party’s ticket unopposed.

Itz Tiffany

Information reaching GhanaWeb is that, Afro-pop/dance-pop soloist, Itz Tiffany, has been signed onto Off-Da-Ground (ODG) Record Label in the United Kingdom headed by Fuse ODG.

According to a close source in the UK, the deal with the ‘Fake London boy’ soloist comes with huge financial benefits but could only say Its Huge as well as promotion, performance and recording contract to position her globally.. that’s big for her career.

Our source indicates that with the Azonto song becoming a success with massive sales and a dance-cum-music genre worldwide it was no doubt that there was something great about Tiffany.

The source further clarified “the management of ODG Records believe in her works and how far she has survived in the industry with the support of some artistes and showbiz personals.”

Prince Tilla

Tillaman resurfaces with two bangers produced by W4′s “Kontrol” producer J-Fem. Tilla marks his re-branding with a solid remix of “Ori Owo” featuring Davido and a fresh solo single titled “Tear Rubber”.

Str8FromDaKitchen: J. Martins – Dance 4 Me @Realjmartins

The unstoppable J. Martins is at it again as he premieres his banging new single titled “Dance 4 Me”. The club-ready sizzler displays J. Martins in his element as he combines dynamic thumping bass lines with a euro-electro vibe to produce a vintage performance, right up with the best of his work.

“Dance 4 Me” is the latest in a string of blazing singles which the veteran hitmaker has released this year, thus cementing his position as one of the most prolific artists the African continent has to offer.

Ghana coach Kwesi Appiah says he has been impressed by the output of players in training sessions at his camp in Arnhem.

The Black Stars have held four training sessions since arriving in the Netherlands on Sunday morning to intensify their preparations for the 2014 World Cup.

The team moved to the European country having completed a four-day non-residential training program in Accra.

The training program in the Ghanaian capital was climaxed by an impressive performance in the Black Stars’ 6-1 win over a locally select side in an exhibition match last Friday.

The team is preparing now in the city of Arnhem ahead of another friendly match against the Netherlands in Rotterdam on Sunday.

Abdul Majeed Waris

If you ever needed any measure of the importance of Abdul Majeed Warris to Ghana’s world cup campaign in Brazil, then it came during the first day of training by the Black Stars at the Accra Sports Stadium.

The forward went down under a challenge from goalkeeper Fatau Dauda and within seconds the lively atmosphere inside the grounds had turned numb and quiet. Is he injured? "Hope it its not serious" were some of the key concerns. The Black Stars medical staff was quickly on the scene and all eyes, previously fixated on the training involving fourteen Black Stars players turned to the spot where they were attending to him.

Waris is not in danger of missing the tournament but the fact that he went down to such general anxiety speaks volumes of how he has developed into one of the most important players for Ghana after he had been snubbed by coach Kwesi Appiah for the 2013 Nations Cup.

Waris himself says it is down to biding his time and taking his chance well when it came against Sudan after the Nations Cup.

Shatta Wale's Manager[BullDog] Granted Bail

Lawrence Nana Asiamah Hanson

Reliable information reaching us has it that embattled artistes manager and CEO of Bullhaus Entertainment, Lawrence Nana Asiamah Hanson has been granted bail.

According to sources the Human Rights Division of the Accra High Court on Tuesday May 27, 2014 granted bail to Nana Asiamah, aka Bull Dog who has been in Police custody since Thursday May 15 , 2014.

Sources say, Bulldog's lawyers took the matter to the Human Rights Court after the District Magistrate Court refused to grant him bail on May 19.

The Human Rights Court granted him bail Tuesday on the basis that the facts as the police presented and upon which they were holding Bulldog are "speculative" and do not link him to the charges that have been preferred against him.

#Str8FromDaKitchen: Shatta Wale Writes Another Letter To The Media @ShattaWaleGh

Shatta Wale

2013 Ghana Music Awards Artiste of the year, Charles Nii Armah Jnr aka Shatta wale has lashed out at the Ghanaian media at what he describes as a deliberate ploy to associate him with negativity.

He was reacting to recent rumors in the press that he had deliberately refused to visit his manager Nana Asiamah Hanson [Bull dog] after he got arrested.

African Union (AU) Day has been observed in Ghana, with a call on African leaders to reflect on the challenges confronting the continent and chart an effective path towards resolving them.
Apart from the day being observed as a public holiday, there was no official event to commemorate the occasion, compelling some Ghanaians to ask African leaders to involve the people in the affairs of the AU.
Some of the people said the AU was known to the leaders who gathered in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, regularly to toast champagne and discuss issues of very little relevance to the people.
Another school of thought said although the AU, formerly the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), did not look at bread and butter issues, it helped to accelerate the liberation struggle.
“Today, almost all countries in Africa are free, except the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic,” one commentator argued.

Vejekset Keskinen and Hamamat Montia

The trial of Hamamat Montia, winner of the 2006 Miss Malaika beauty pageant in connection with the stealing of a Toyota Highlander belonging to a Finnish businessman, Vejekset Keskinen, was yesterday adjourned.

The prosecuting officer in the case, ASP Cletus Kofi Abadamloora arrived in the court by 10:00 am while the suspect came to the court for the commencement of the trial.

They were told that the trial judge was on leave so the case was consequently adjourned to June 16, 2014 at which time the judge would have resumed work.

A highly placed source tells us Eliken has been handed the sole role of making the entire contingent look their best.
A good break, it would add to his already impressive portfolio as a fashion designer.

Atta Fauster Mensah and Kofi Aboronomaa Nyarko

Fauster Atta Mensah is a Ghanaian legend, everyone should bow down to his greatness. A co-worker showed me his interview on GBC where he lied to the whole nation (I hope GBC broadcasts don’t go international). This guy Fauster (I want to believe that is his real name) woke up one day and decided to catch everyone in Ghana “mugu” , it wasn’t even 1st of April!
I thought it was a joke till I googled his name and found some interesting articles about him, they looked very genuine.

Pono was especially moved by Fela's positive and proactive message to the World, and also the hustle of African life; to encourage us to remain determined and hard work towards goals in order to reach them.

Refrain From Acts That Could Jeopardise Party Unity - Nana Addo

Nana Akufo-Addo has again called on his supporters to refrain from any negative acts or statements that could jeopardise the unity of the New Patriotic Party. In this regard, he refers supporters to the statement in his Easter message:

“In particular, I urge all NPP members, who support my bid to lead the party for the 2016 elections, not to be provoked by comments or actions, and be dragged into any discourse that may damage the party’s forward march to victory. This is but a contest between members of one family, the Great Elephant family. We must, therefore, be guided and guarded constantly by an uncompromising sense of unity, fellowship and greater purpose.
