Ghanaian born UK based hip pop musician, Fuse ODG has revealed in an interview that there is a lot of pressure from his parent to get married.

When the host asked Fuse if he had plans to get married any time soon, the musician stated that he has plans to get married but the time he believes is not right now.

Fuse also revealed in the interview that even though he is not currently married, he has someone in his who is helping him to effectively defend himself anytime the pressure from his parent come up. He further told the host that he will marry this idle woman of his very soon and probably give birth to about 200 children.

The Grammy award-winner on Saturday October 27, 2018 held his first ever press interaction in Kumasi where he hails from.

The musician who burst unto global music charts with his monster hit single Azonto took time off his busy schedule to meet radio personalities and partners in the region.

He has released his new track ‘Bra Fie’ featuring Damian ‘Jr Gong’ Marley.

Produced by Yr$ Truly & OTWoode, ‘bra fie’ literally means ‘come home’ and it is a unifying call to all Africans living abroad to come home.

Under intense public pressure, the pastor appeared in church with a three-worded sentence repeated thrice.

“God is good, God is good, God is good”, he said, a response that sparked social media subscribers into frenzied repetition partly in friendly jest and other is outright derision.

“The last time I said God is good, people didn’t like it”, he said to ripples of laughter from a fired-up congregation that appeared ready to rally support for the motivational speaker.

“I don’t know whether to say God is good this time but I can definitely say the devil is bad,” he gave fresh fuel to social media platform.

“It is going to be interesting,” the pastor flashed a buoyant mood not hostile to humour.

While admitting that the companies are mostly responsible with issues surrounding expired goods, he urged the general public to play its part by doing personal checks on the product to use.

 

CDH Holdings has refuted claims it owed defunct Capital Bank GH₵100million.

The institution is threatening to counter sue the Receiver of the defunct bank for defamation.

The Group CEO of CDH Holdings, Emmanuel Adu Sarkodie said, “The suit itself is very funny; you don’t make a distinction between CDH as a holding company and CDH Savings and Loans. As a matter of fact, for defaming the name of the Savings and Loans, we are going to bring an action against them.”

Earlier, Defunct Capital Bank had gone to court to recover over ¢100 million being debts owed it by CDH Financial Holding and CDH Savings and Loans.

The bank, which was among the two banks that were taken over by state-owned GCB Bank over severe liquidity challenges, wants the High Court to order the Defendants to pay the full amount [ a total of ¢109, 390,634.70] plus the accrued interest.

The defunct bank also wants the Court to order the Bank of Ghana to withdraw the licenses of the Defendants (CDH Financial Holding and CDH Savings and Loans) for their inability to pay back investment on maturity dates.

 

But Mr. Adu Sarkodie said “it’s very infantile” for the Receiver of defunct to request the BoG to withdraw the license of CDH Holdings and CDH Savings and Loans

Meanwhile, CEO of CDH Savings and Loans, Martin Asamoah expressed utmost surprise at the suit by the receiver of the defunct capital bank.

He noted that the CDH legal team and that of the receiver had several meetings ever since the crises started.

“We have funds of the capital bank and they also have funds with us, because we are trading together and have been cooperating ever since the crises started’ he stated.

‘When the receiver wrote to us, we even initially put in our claims of how much we have with the capital bank, we met the lawyer of the receiver and had intensive discussions’ Mr. Asamoah added.

He said the two parties agreed to the figures and that a careful look at the figures indicates that the defunct capital bank even owed CDH. ‘If I show you the mail from the lawyer, the net figure per our agreement in February 2018 was supposed to be GH₵55 million. They are suing us for GH₵100 million and I’m wondering how it got there,” Mr. Asamoah lamented.

 

Statement of claims

 

Capital Bank makes the following six claims against CDH Financial Holding and CDH Savings and Loans:

 

1. An order directed against the defendants jointly and severally for the recovery of an amount of ¢83,489,123.29 and US$5,289,315.07 being the outstanding amount agreed as owed to the Plaintiff by the Defendants [CDH Financial Holding and CDH Savings and Loans] on or about December 31, 2017.

Bobbie Ansah said the company has been given 10 days to start making payment or face further action which could include a civil suit.

“Surfline owes more than thirty seven million cedis in taxes, these taxes have accrued since 2015 and seeing that they do not have any available money to make payment we have locked up the company,” he said.

“We are giving them ten days to come up with a payment plan, if they are not able to pay by then, we will take the next line of action” he added.

On his part, the Chief Revenue Officer at the GRA, Wisdom Xetor disclosed that the authority will have no option but to sell off some assets of defrauding company.

“If after ten days the company has not been able to make any form of payment one of the options will be to sell off some of their assets,” he stressed.

“On arrival we have had discussions with them and they have issued a cheque of two million Ghana cedis to us”

The telco paid two million cedis on the spot out of the ten million cedis it owes the state.

Ghana striker Abdul Majeed Waris scored his first goal for his club side Nantes on Tuesday night when they defeated Montpellier 3-0 in the French League Cup.

The attacker scored his first goal for the club on Tuesday in his 12th appearance to help the top tier side advance to the next round of the competition.

Waris joined the Ligue 1 side in the summer with the hopes of increasing the attacking options of the club after some impressive previous stints in France.

Despite making a decent showing in the league so far by setting up some goals for his team-mates his inability to score piled pressure on him.

But he eased the pressure on himself when he received a straight pass, advanced and hit a powerful left foot, leaving the goalkeeper with no chance.

The goal his first since joining Nantes on loan from Portuguese giants FC Porto.

The player was loaned by FC Porto and has a contract until 2022 with the Dragons.

Michael Essien says eliminating Chelsea in the EFL Cup will be a tough ask for Frank Lampard and Derby County.

Frank Lampard’s Stamford Bridge return in the EFL Cup with Derby County will be a big but difficult night, according to former Chelsea team-mate Michael Essien.

For the first time in his fledgeling managerial career, Lampard will be in the opposition dugout against the club where he won 11 major trophies – including three Premier League titles and the Champions League.

His Derby side booked their fourth-round berth with a penalty shoot-out win over Manchester United at Old Trafford, the Rams have drawn against Chelsea in the subsequent draw.

Essien played alongside Lampard for the Blues and expects the 40-year-old to get a huge welcome from the fans, but does not expect another cup upset.

“We all know what he did for Chelsea, he is a legend,” he told Omnisport. “He’s coming home so it will be a big night.

“I’m sure he’s looking to win but it’s not easy at Stamford Bridge.”

Derby arrives at Stamford Bridge unbeaten in their last five Championship matches, a run that has included victories over promotion rivals Sheffield United and West Brom.

Chelsea go into the tie having progressed from 18 of their last 19 EFL Cup matches against non-Premier League sides, and the Blues have won their previous eight home matches against the Rams.
