80% of Akufo Addo free SHS Graduate have failed -Kelvin Taylor.
The American-born Ghanaian investigative journalist, Kelvin Taylor has revealed that WAEC is failing to release the result of the recent WASSCE examination because 80% of the children have failed.

He made this assertion on his With All Due Respect Show after ‘Whatsup News’ reported that; “Government secretly postpones release WAEC exams results because of mass failures.”.

According to him, it looks like WAEC has become a political wing and its now listening to the government. Which is why, they are holding on unto the result of the exams.

He stated that, the results are in there, and we have the worse result in our history that is why WAEC is holding on unto it. They can’t release it because they know the result is bad, and they know that if they release the result, Akufo Addo is done.

According to him, Akufo Addo is holding on unto the free SHS, so if the result is released, it will show how bad he has performed under the free SHS. He claimed that, the teachers and WAEC knows how bad the children were, so why are they holding on to the result.

He claimed, he has people working at the WAEC office and they are saying that, Akufo Addo said they should on to the result.
He said WAEC should have released the WASSCE result two weeks ago, so why are the result not released yet? He further stated that, WAEC cannot hold on to the result until January after the elections to favor Akufo Addo, because they already know that 80% of the children have failed.

He concluded by saying that, next week , he will show what WAEC is covering at their offices since they have entangled themselves in politics.

I am the King of Highlife’ – Bisa Kdei.

Ghanaian highlife artiste and record producer Bisa Kdei has said he is the best Highlife musician ever and that he is incomparable.

The comment follows his comparison to the likes of Akwaboah, Kumi Guitar, Kuami Eugene, among others by social media commentators.
But according to the multiple award-winning musician, he finds such comparisons unnecessary and adding that he had done a lot for the music industry and continues to thrive by producing back to back hits.

I’m the king of highlife music/the best ever and I saved it. You can argue. I always say I’ll use my energy to support and encourage others to do more. It’s a total waste of time if you think trolls and comparisons will break me,” he said in a tweet.

Bisa Kdei added that he would be happy to see every highlife musician thrive in their respective endeavours rather than some Ghanaians wasting time on comparison.

Bisa Kdei recently released a new single banger dubbed ‘Sika’ which features Gyakie, daughter of highlife legend Nana Acheampong.
Bisa Kdei is expected to release his fourth studio album by the close of the year.

I prophesied Rawlings’ death – Nigel Gaisie.

Founder of Prophetic Hill Chapel, Prophet Nigel Gaisie has said the prophecy he gave about the family of the longest-serving leader in Ghana during his annual 31st watch night service was on Rawlings.

According to him, he spoke figuratively to avoid attacks on both his personality and the prophetic declaration.
In an interview with Accra FM Thursday, November 12, 2020, the prophet said “I seek the face of the Lord anytime the year is about to end at Adumfa. Among the prophecies for the year, God said we should pray for Rawlings and his household but because of the attacks on me and my prophecies, I decided to speak in figurative expression.”

People would have burnt my church if I had come out to say that former President Rawlings will die,” he stated.
Prophet Nigel Gaisie further said Rawlings’ death could have been prevented but it’s rather unfortunate he passed away.

Everyone knows that God spoke through me on this prophecy and it has come to pass but it is unfortunate… The bible said the Lord reveals to be redeemed…”
Meanwhile, he has called on the nation to pray for the deceased’s wife, Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings to prevent bizarre situations.

On December 31, 2019, Nigel during a church service said darkness was hovering around the wife of a former president. He however was not emphatic what that really meant.
He said: “I saw a former president who has lived and ruled for long… In fact, nobody can enjoy such a reign again. I saw darkness around her wife. Let’s pray for her wife.

“If she’s hearing me or she’ll watch, a prophetess prayed for her. I saw a cloud of darkness. I know the name but I have spoken figuratively.”

Condom s.ekx is very bad – Relationship expert Mama Lipstick reveals.

The truth is that there’s no one “right” time to have s.ekx — as long as you and your partner both enthusiastically consent.

Ultimately, the only two people with the power to decide if first-date sex is on the menu are you and your date.
Although first on the first date isn’t really bad provided, you’re practising safe s.ekx (condoms, people!), you’re good to go.

But in the rightful thinking of Mama Lipstick on The Nayas Adult Talk Show, it’s never right to use a condom for intercourse including first date s.ekx.

Photos Revealing the Humble Beginning of Tracey Boakye

Photos revealing the humble beginning of Tracey Boakye when she was leaving in a ‘single room’ in Kumasi.
The humble beginnings of actress turned social media vixen Tracey Boakye has popped up revealing how she used to live in a single room at Atonsu in Kumasi in the Ashanti Region.

Tracey Boakye has become very loud in recent times and her social media outbursts kind of paint a rather perfect picture of who she was and how far she has come.

She usually brags about her singular and unaided effort at purchasing her $1M house at the plush East Legon area here in Accra.
Well, she may have acquired some wealth now which has in some way given her the boldness to talk and reply anything and anyone who offends her in one way or the other.

But, what you see of Tracey Boakye now is not really how it started. She may look lavish, exquisite and eye-catching now but she does come from a very humble background.

Photos coming out reveal how she used to stay in a single room in Kumasi and the kind of life she used to live which actually reflected in the way she posed for her photos and the attire she wore.

Everybody started from somewhere but the reason why Tracey Boakye’s own has garnered attention is the way she carries herself about as though she comes from a wealthy home.

That should humble her. Perhaps, Ghanaians still do not understand her.

Vehicle catches fire on Dzodze-Akatsi highway

A Benz vehicle with Nigerian registration number KJA 813 GD caught fire around 0730 hours at Adetsewui junction on the Dzodze-Akatsi- highway.

Kennedy Biedo, an eyewitness and Assembly-member for the area said the driver of the vehicle suspected an electronic fault after sensing some smokes emerging from the car.

He said the driver attempted to douse the fire with the help of some drivers plying the road, but it failed due to malfunctioning extinguishers.

Mr Biedo said he attempted to seek assistance from the Ghana National Fire Service at Akatsi, but efforts did not yield the needed results.

“We just saw sparks which developed into a wildfire, we started calling for help, but honestly the car was completely burnt down,” he said.

“We called Akatsi fire service, but unfortunately, their tender is out of commission, so we resorted to Dzodze for help, but it was late before they arrived, the vehicle got burnt beyond recognition,” he lamented.

DO II Simon Wardie, the Akatsi South District Fire Commander said they were doing everything possible to fix the fire tender for usage in times like this.

However, the driver of the vehicle escaped unhurt.
