In the early stages of my movie-making career as an executive producer more than a decade ago, one of the very first top movie stars I was opportune to work with was and is the ever gorgeous, business-minded, and straightforward Yvonne Nelson.
Initially, my first impression of her personality was the bluntly
rude and difficult to handle type but after our first encounter on the movie Deadly Obsession, which featured prominent actor Jim Ike, Nikki Samonas, the late Rev. Eddie Quophie amongst others, I then realized the sexy legged screen goddess was just fantastic and the best one can boast of in the industry.

I went on to cast her in my second movie WHO AM I which became a hit. Yvonne’s Tears, trials, and Pain continued.
Over the years, Yvonne Nelson has moved on from one success story to another.
Challenges such as facing a ban by the leadership in the movie industry in Ghana in 2010 and the tag on bleaching did not deter the actress-turned-entrepreneur from moving to greater heights.
By dint of hard work and perseverance, Yvonne Nelson, YN as I call her started producing her own movies.
Heels and sneakers, area code, fix us and many more are all top-notch movies produced by the sexy diva. Awards upon awards from different angles, appearing on BBC Africa, and having quite a number of movies on Netflix are some of the many achievements of the Venus Films discovery actress.
Most enviable among all her achievements are the establishment of @YNislands, a serene resort and a place to relax, and a first-class school by all standards located in East Legon Hills.
Knowing Yvonne Nelson for over a decade now, one thing I cherish most about her is the zeal to always stand for the less privileged in society.
I would not be surprised to see Yvonne Nelson working at the high office in the UN someday on humanitarian grounds and support.

Known in private life as James Ikechukwu Esomugha, Jim Iyke, the ‘Nollywood bad boy’ happened to be one of the most sought-after actors on the African continent years back when the movie industry in Ghana and Nigeria was at its peak.

“At a point, I dated the most glamorous women you know. I dated women that were out there. From Europe to Ghana to America everywhere I was fixated on the looks; I was fixated on the thought of public appeal and opinion. I was fixated on the trophy. And please no pun intended to anybody or whatsoever. This was my world” he confessed.
One will have no doubt hearing this from Jim Iyke knowing the number of top celebrities from Ghana and Nigeria the screen god dated.
“It was a competition with me to outdo with everybody the women I wanted to see. You have to belong to a certain cadre for me to see you”
In an interview with This day live, a Nigerian news portal, Jim Iyke said he is producing his own movies. We wish Jim all the best.

Lovemaking is a pure art. The satisfaction or excitement is practically a combination of physio-psychological effects. Just like a pressure pipe, one ‘burst out’ in unimaginable arousal that they had to moan. It is natural and very behavioral depending on the sexual experience of the person, sexual therapists have argued.
But this is more of a feminist response to a sexual activity, as only a few men do express these feelings during lovemaking. But before we continue let me held with some definitions of what moaning is.
Moaning is a prolonged, low, inarticulate sound uttered either in pain or some strong emotional gratification. In lovemaking, this expression by your partners could mean two things and you need to pay more attention to it so you either reinforce what you doing that is causing it or you stop.
The anatomy of the female sexuality is more complex and has several nerve endings that gets stimulated during lovemaking. In fact, the sciences around it demonstrate the millions of neural activities are fired to cause that overwhelming sweet sensation for women to an extent they simply have to moan. It thus becomes involuntary [for some women], but for others its part of the foreplay getting their man turned on.
Women moan during sex to communicate to their partners they’re enjoying what they are doing. This could a right moment for the man to romp her the more and crystalize the sexual experience.
However, some are an indication of pain, uncomfortable of bored with their partner. Don’t even mistake every moaning by your woman to be a good signal!
The president of the Republic of Ghana, H.E Nana Addo Danquah Akufo-Addo has made a very disturbing comment about the teaching profession in Ghana which has called for the wrath of people in that profession.
In a press conference, the president makes a very shocking comment about the teaching profession, which Ghanaian teachers found very insulting. When asked about the payment of Ghanaian teachers by the government, the president shockingly tells Ghanaians teachers never to expect becoming billionaires in their profession.

If you want to do teaching it’s because you want to contribute to the welfare of the society…”, H.E Nana Addo Danquah Akufo-Addo uttered.

England’s hopes of ending a 55-year wait for a major trophy were crushed in heartbreaking fashion as they lost 3-2 on penalties to Italy in the final of Euro 2020 at Wembley.
Despite two saves by Jordan Pickford, missed penalties from Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka proved decisive.
In their first men’s final since 1966 and playing in front of a vocal crowd of around 60,000, England made the dream start when they scored in just the second minute, Luke Shaw volleying in superbly after a quick counter.

But Italy slowly started to gain control of the game and equalised midway through the second half when Leonardo Bonucci stabbed in from close range after a scramble from a corner.
England struggled to find their composure but managed to hold on to take the game to extra time and, after another nervous 30 minutes, penalties were needed to separate the two sides.
And in what was only the second European Championship final to be decided by spot-kicks it was Italy who came out on top as England’s incredible run at the tournament fell just short.

The issues rising out of Mental Health have been pressing concerns to many especially Mental Health practitioners and it is good we support anyone who puts it upon themselves to lead that advocacy.
On the 8th of July, 2021 the Hon Minister for Health Mr. Kwaku Agyemang Manu acknowledged a question asked him by the Hon MP for Sege constituency on Mental illnesses; in his response, he confirmed there has been an increasing rate of Illnesses hence the need for all to get involved to RESOURCE the sector for better treatments. He agreed that over 3 million people currently suffering from various degrees of the Illnesses.

As a practitioner in the field,I know the many challenges we face as professionals in getting drugs, logistics, and many others to giving deserving treatments to those marginalised victims of MENTAL ILLNESSES.
I am not calling for support for her on the grounds of race, tribe,gender, or profession, but purely the fact that she has identified a pressing menace she wants to help address.
Let us all give her our best.
MENTAL ILLNESSES is no respecter of persons, certificate, monies, status, and have you, so let us all help her champion this for better resourcing and prioritisation of the sector.
Today,it might not be you but tomorrow you have no idea your family members who will suffer the conditions.
In conclusion, I am appealing to the judges and necessary stakeholders to favor her to carrying out this mandate.
God bless us all.

LONDON— England and their long-suffering fans finally have the chance to add another trophy to the 1966 World Cup after they overcame Denmark 2-1 in extra time on Wednesday to reach the European Championship final for the first time.
Harry Kane’s goal, following up after his penalty had been saved, finally saw off battling Denmark to set up a Sunday showdown against Italy, also looking to shake off the ’60s as they seek to win the title they last lifted in 1968.

LONDON— England and their long-suffering fans finally have the chance to add another trophy to the 1966 World Cup after they overcame Denmark 2-1 in extra time on Wednesday to reach the European Championship final for the first time.
Harry Kane’s goal, following up after his penalty had been saved, finally saw off battling Denmark to set up a Sunday showdown against Italy, also looking to shake off the ’60s as they seek to win the title they last lifted in
On a night to remember in front of almost 60,000 roaring fans, England fell behind to Mikkel Damsgaard’s superb free-kick, equalized with an own goal, dominated the game, and then won it via their captain, albeit somewhat unconvincingly, in the 104th minute.
Read more:
“Unbelievable – what a game though,” said Kane. “We dug deep and we got there when it mattered. We reacted really well – we’re in a final at home, what a feeling.”
It was of course a particularly special night for coach Gareth Southgate, whose penalty shoot-out miss sent England out of the semi-finals of Euro 96. “We said to the players at some point we’re going to have to show resilience and come back from setbacks, and we did that tonight,” he said.
“The most pleasing thing is that we’ve given our fans and our nation a fantastic night and the journey carries on for another four days. We’ve said we want to create memories I’ve said to the young ones ‘it isn’t always like this.”
It was a tough way for Denmark to end its emotional ride from the fear and distress of Christian Eriksen’s opening game collapse to its first semifinal since its shock Euro 92 win, but its exhausted players left Wembley with socks rolled down but heads held high.
“I am proud of this group and everyone who has been on this journey. It has been fantastic to be involved. I am hungry and empty, but I am also proud,” said Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.
Having swept past Ukraine 4-0 in the quarter-finals, England knew they faced a considerable step up on Wednesday and the quality in the Danish ranks was amply illustrated after 30 minutes when Damsgaard fired a powerful, dipping 25-yard free kick over the wall and beyond the diving Jordan Pickford.
England had reached the semis without conceding a goal and the crowd were stunned. The question of how England would respond to its first real setback would now be addressed.
The answer was calmly and patiently, as they passed their way back into the ascendancy. Raheem Sterling was denied at point-blank range by Kasper Schmeichel before the 39th-minute equalizer when Bukayo Saka hit the byline and fizzed over a low cross that Simon Kjaer bundled over his own line in his attempt to stop the ball reaching Sterling.
Schmeichel was on hand again with an excellent diving save to palm away a Harry Maguire header and England began to turn the screw in the second half, but, despite their relentless passing and probing around the box, they struggled to carve out a clear opening and the match rolled into extra time.
The extra 30 minutes became a virtual attack v defense exercise, as Schmeichel saved again from Kane and Jack Grealish and the fear of penalties began to rise among the home fans.
The ever-dangerous Sterling continued to drive into the box though and was eventually brought down by Joakim Maehle for the VAR-reviewed penalty that Kane struck poorly and Schmeichel blocked, only for the captain to tuck home the rebound.

England then negotiated the last 15 minutes to spark the loudest, and surely most confident rendition of “Football’s Coming Home”, ever to ring around Wembley.
“When you’ve waited as long as we have to get through a semifinal, the players – considering the limited international experience some of them have – have done an incredible job,” Southgate said.
“We suffered in Moscow (in the 2018 World Cup semifinal defeat by Croatia) on a night like this and we’ve managed to put that right. It’s an incredible occasion to be a part of. The fans were incredible all night. There was mayhem on the pitch and I was part of it. We’ve got to enjoy the fact we’re in the final but there’s one more massive hurdle to conquer.”

Police in Kuntenase in the Ashanti Region have picked up one Rashid Ibrahim for the alleged cold-blooded murder of Israel Agyei Manu, a headteacher of Rogel Montessori Basic School and owner of a private vehicle used for ride-hailing services.
The 33-year-old who was driving a Toyota Vitz vehicle, with car registration number, GE 3170-21, was beheaded on Sunday afternoon.
The police in a statement said the suspect “who initially gave an untenable alibi to police, later “confessed to committing the crime.”
Police said the suspect, Rashid Ibrahim, later led officers “to retrieve the machete which he allegedly used to behead the deceased at Feyiase New Site on 4th July 2021.”
The suspect is currently in police custody pending processes to be put before the court.
“Police commend community members who volunteered their observation of the movement of neighbors and strangers alike to police, leading to the arrest. Police assure them of the strictest confidentiality and appeals to such informants to desist from blowing their own cover by bragging about such exploits,” police added in the statement.
Assemblyman speaks.
The Assembly Member for the Feyiase Akoyem area, Samuel Yaw Kwae, who earlier narrated the incident to Citi News, said after seeing the headless body, they embarked on a frantic search which led them to the head of the deceased, few meters away from where the headless body was found.
. “I got a call from one of my committee members around 2:05 pm today [Sunday, July 4, 2021] indicating to me that, they have received news of a murder in our community, so I quickly called the police, and they confirmed the news to me. So I had to come and lead them to the scene. When we got there, we met a body without the head.”
“They [Police] invited the CID to the scene to take all the needed information for investigations. So after that, I recommended to the police that we do a thorough search for the head of the deceased and indeed they listened to me and the people of the community helped me weed the place, and we found the head as well.”
144 murder cases recorded in the first quarter of 2021 – Interior Minister As of May 2021, a comparative analysis of some crime statistics from the first quarters of 2020 and 2021, showed some improvement in policing except in the area of reported murders.
According to the Interior Minister, Ambrose Dery, there were 144 murder cases recorded in the first quarter of 2021 as compared to 123 in the first quarter of 2020.
He said the issue needs to be addressed, noting that, “one loss of life in Ghana is one life too many.”
