Mankyia Palace Finally Breaks Silence on Rev. Obofour Enstoolment
The Founder and Leader of Anointed Palace Chapel (APC) Worldwide and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Sweet TV, Reverend Francis Antwi, popularly known as Rev Obofour was recently enstooled as Chief of the Asantes in Sempe, James Town Accra. He is now given a new title as Nii Adotei Gyata I.
Some Ghanaians have congratulated him on his new position while others said that a true man of God cannot become chief because of certain traditional rites you will be compelled to perform. Rev. Francis Antwi is from the Ashanti Region and before agreeing to a chieftaincy position in Accra, he was supposed to notify the King of the Asantes but that according to Manhyia Palace was not done.
Oheneba Media, in an interview with Teacher Sarfo Kantaka, an Elder who teaches culture and languages for Manhyia Palace shared his view of Rev. Obofour’s new title in Accra. According to him, any group of Asantes living in different towns or countries can form an Asante group but not without the knowledge of the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.
During Akwasidae or Wukudae, you and your group have to notify the chief linguist that a group in Accra will like to greet the Asantehene so that if in the future a Chief in Accra will like to uplift you as a Chief of the Asantes, the King of Asante, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II will be aware.
Teacher Sarfo Kantaka added that if you do not go through this process and later something happens, who are you going to explain to. You are not a Ga man but an Asante man and you are taking this position in the name of Asantes. In view of that, Rev. Obofour should have consulted Manhyia Palace first before accepting the new chieftaincy position in Accra. This is because his title has something to do with the Asante Kingdom, thus Nii Adotei Gyata I (the King of the Asantes in Accra).
We should all invest in girl child education and community development – acting Zongo chief
The acting Zongo chief for the Zongo community in New Edubiase in the Adansi South district of the Ashanti Region Nana Abdulai Baaba(Allahday) has expressed his outmost view and advice to Nongovernmental Organisations, philanthropists, Muslim leaders, and the entire Muslim community is to focus and invest in girl child education.

Finally, Nana Abdulai Baaba urged the general public to come together to help improve our Human Resources and involve females in our daily activities.
Amerado, Obibini set social media ablaze with diss tracks
For lovers of rap music in Ghana, this moment is another one to savour as two of the country’s highly-rated rappers are having a go at each other in back-to-back diss tracks.
Rappers Amerado and Obibini have since last night entertained their fans as they battle for supremacy.
The lyrical beef was triggered by a word in Amerado’s widely commended flow on the Tim Westwood which Obibini perceives to be a jab at him.
Despite Amerado’s clarification that Obibini was not the target of his verse, Obibini entered the recording booth last night and produced a diss track titled ‘Deceased’.
The Zylofone signee in this track belittles Amerado’s lyrical prowess and condemns his career which he claims to have buried.

Tahillah experience is an annual event hosted by multiple award winner Ohemaa Mercy for believers to have special time with God whilst believing him for their breakthrough and supernatural blessings.
This year’s event was not far from what was expected, as many prophecies, healings and an exceptional encounter with the Holy Spirit was felt on the grounds.
The Head Pastor of God’s Crown Chapel, Rev Reindolph Oduro Gyebi popularly known as Eagle Prophet, has dropped a scary prophecy about Ghanaian actress Lydia Forson.
The man of God, while speaking in an interview revealed that Lydia Forson would be involved in a terrible accident.
According to Eagle Prophet, there is a demonic plot against the renowned actress to end her life through an accident.
He further entreated her to take the prophecy very seriously and pray fervently to avert it.
“There is a demonic plot against Lydia Forson, the enemy just wants to cut her life that is why she is rising against that prophecy. There are a lot of big men of God in her house so I expect her to understand it.
The devil has a reason for pushing her to fight this prophecy so that they will fight her as well. As a good prophet, I am telling her to pray or else she will be involved in an accident”, Eagle Prophet revealed.
My husband is not perfect, but I am a proud wife – Empress Gifty
Empress Gifty has replied to rumors that her husband is a chronic cheat and womanizer. According to Gifty, her husband is not perfect, but she is proud to be called his wife.
A video of Empress Gifty ranting on social media has caught our eye. In the video, a livid Empress Gifty has spilled all the tea on her previous marriage and her current husband’s extracurricular activities.
She said, “Ghanaians, I said if you blog about me, I will not go to your page to reply. I would come to my page and put you in your place. I will also tell you the truth. Now let me describe the husband that I have. I don’t have a perfect man, I don’t have the richest man, I don’t have a handsome man, but I have a God-fearing man.
“My husband is a politician. My husband has the freedom to go wherever he wants to go. I am a wife. What I need to do is to respect my husband’s decision. And that is why the Bible said, husband, love your wife. And wife submit. So that is what I am doing. If you see me glowing, it is inner peace. It is not money. I am the only legal Mrs Adorye.”
“What did you say my husband has done? Does he go from hostels to hotels? Oh sister, is that all you have to say? You said he has a sugar mummy? I pity you.
Empress Gifty continued
“I have not told you that I have a perfect man. I never said I have a rich husband, no. I am happy and honoured that my husband can enjoy my success. Because before, they don’t even eat the food I cook. So today, if I have something and my husband is using it, I am happy. I am a proud wife, Mrs Adorye.”
The video has Ciara and her husband seated and adorned in colourful kente fabric which they put over the white outfits there were donning.
Sharing the video, Obofowaa indicated a variation in their titles as compared to the regular development chief.
Though the chieftaincy titles for Obofour and Ciara are in the concept of a development chief, they will be known as Aboafourhene and Aboafourhemaa (helping chief and queen) respectively. “Ladies and Gentleman meet your newly crowned king and queen.

Singer Rihanna is now officially a billionaire, second richest female entertainer in the world
Entrepreneur and singer Rihanna is officially now the richest woman musician in the world with net worth estimated at $1.7 billion. She may now be one of the richest musicians in the world but her music is not the primary source of her wealth, as per a report in Forbes magazine.
The Barbados-born singer, whose birth name is Robyn Fenty, derives an estimated $1.4 billion of her fortune from her 50% stake in the Fenty Beauty cosmetics line, Forbes reported.
The rest of Rihanna`s wealth comes from her share of the Savage x Fenty lingerie company and her income as a singer and actress, the magazine said.
Rihanna`s beauty company is part-owned by LVMH. The brand is known for its broad range of 50 skin tones, including dark shades for women of color, which were rare when it launched in 2017. This made it a leader in inclusivity in the industry.
Rihanna is also known for hits like ‘Umbrella’ and ‘Love The Way You Lie’ although she has created new music for a very long time. According to Forbes, the singer now ranks second behind Oprah as the richest female entertainer in the world.
