I Am Not Back With Essien - Nadia Buari

Nadia Buari

Award winning actress, Nadia Buari, has denied media reports that she and Chelsea midfielder, Michael Essien, are back together as a couple.

News of the two former love birds making up through a purported amorous kiss went viral on the internet last week at the birthday party of newscaster and host of Diva’s Show, Nana Aba Anamoah held at Villaggio Primavera.

Speaking on the Brunch in the Citi hosted by Jessica Opare-Saforo, Nadia explained the speculations emanated from “innocent pictures” which were taken during the party.

“There was no kissing; it was just blown out of proportion,” she said.

Nadia further explained that “we were trying to take pictures and the media paparazzi were also taking pictures. We were to take just two shots but they were still taking a lot [of] pictures and I was really shy so I tried to leave and Essien was just trying to cover my face that’s all.”

The two called off their relationship about two years ago.

Nadia also hinted of a possible venture into the Ghana music industry specifically, Hiplife music.

N15m Scam: Jim Iyke's Aged Parents Begged Me, Case Not Thrown Out Of Court--Habiba

The alleged 15million fraud case against Nollywood actor, Jim Iyke may not end soon if the latest development turns out to be real.

According to some documents sent to Nigeriafilms.com, Habiba has through her office, debunked rumour spread by Jim Iyke that the case was quashed in court for lack of evidence.

Contrary to what Jim Iyke earlier told the media that the case was quashed from court, Habiba claimed that the matter was only withdrawn from court after Jim Iyke begged Habiba to do so.

We learnt that Jim Iyke went to Habiba's Abuja home along with his aged parents begging her to take the case away from the court and 'temper justice with mercy'.

This was agreed to by Habiba, who then gave Jim Iyke some conditions before the case could be taken out of court, which Jim Iyke was said to have agreed to.

The conditions given to Jim Iyke by Habiba were;
1. He (Jim Iyke) must tender a written public apology to Habiba Abubakar in at least two Nigerian daily newspapers and
2. he (Jim Iyke) must pay back the N16.5m he collected from Abubakar in a specified account. This could be done in instalments of at least N200,000 monthly.

The number second condition will, according to Habiba, a clause to take Jim Iyke to court to force an immediate payment of all outstanding payment if he defaults in honouring the monthly instalmental payment for a couple of times.

These conditions were said to have been agreed with and signed by Jim Iyke.

Habiba has warned Jim Iyke not to feed the media and the people with wrong information about matter.

Nigeriafilms.com contacted Jim Iyke's manager, Omar Oyin Bala to get the side of their story.

He said that the case was thrown out of court because Habiba had no evidence to nail Jim Iyke. When told that there were some signed documents which showed that Jim Iyke apologised to Habiba, he said he does not know where she got the documents from.

War Between Ghanaian And Nigerian Movie Distributers

The Film Distributors Association of Ghana has threatened it may also ban the distribution of Nigerian movies in Ghana if its counterparts in Nigeria goes ahead to ban the distribution of Ghanaian movies.

Nigeria’s Film, Video Producers and Marketers Association (FVPMAN) has placed an embargo on Ghanaian films with effect from the end of this month.

The association said the decision was taken because a similar directive was being enforced in Ghana, but the Vice President of the Film Distributors Association of Ghana, Abdul Sallam Mumuni, told Citi News no such directive was in place in Ghana.

“According to them, Ghanaian marketers are not selling their movies, but this is not true. Personally I believe Ghanaian movies are a threat to their movies because we have overtaken them in the industry,” he opined.

The Film Distributors Association of Ghana was scheduled to have a meeting yesterday to deliberate on the way forward to prevent the ban.

Abdul Sallam Mumuni warned, “We will arrange a meeting with the Nigerians, but if they still hold on to their decision we will do same here in Ghana.”

Producer Hot Over ‘Ama Benyiwa’

A popular Film producer in Kumasi is in hot water, as his latest hit movie, ‘Ama Benyiwa’ has been misconstrued by a section of the public as an attempt to tarnish the image of the Central Regional Minister, Ama Benyiwa Doe.

Paul Adjei, Executive Producer of Paulgee Movie Productions, expressed worry over the wrong picture being painted about the film and his motive for giving it that title, disclosing that he had not known peace since releasing the film.

A dejected-looking Adjei aka ‘Paulgee’ told NEWS-ONE that he had no evil intentions against Hon. Benyiwa Doe, whom he referred to as a mother, adding that nobody should try to drive a wedge between him and the Central Regional Minister.

The top film producer said ever since he released the movie in May this year, people from all walks of life including his colleague film producers, notably, from the Central Region, had been calling to ask why he was trying to tarnish the image of Madam Benyiwa Doe with his movie.

The hit movie, which is in parts one to four, had top movie icons such as award-winning actor Kofi Adu aka ‘Agya Koo, Emelia Brobbey, and Akua Attaa Kyeiwaa featuring in it. In the movie, ‘Ama Benyiwa’, played by actress Emelia Brobbey, was disrespectful to all manner of persons including chiefs, and also practised witchcraft.

Ama Benyiwaa (Emelia Brobbey), through some spiritual powers, managed to change her face to that of her best friend’s Vivian Gil, who was known as ‘Naomi’ in the movie, to engage in bad practices, including prostitution and consumption of large volumes of alcohol.

Because Ama Benyiwa did all those bad things with the face of Naomi, the latter, who was a decent girl and very respectful, was constantly blamed wrongly by the people of the community in which they lived.
At the latter stages of the movie, Ama Benyiwa’s evil deeds eventually came to light following the intervention of some pastors.

The producer insisted that the storyline of the film was good, as it portrayed a real life issue about how some people tarnished the image of others with their bad deeds.

He explained that the character in the movie was called just ‘Ama Benyiwa’, so nobody should try to change the name to ‘Ama Benyiwa Doe’ in order to incur the anger of the minister.

Paulgee said he had not met Hon. Benyiwa Doe in person before, stressing that the Central Regional Minister was one of the politicians he adored and respected so much, “therefore I will never do anything to tarnish her reputation”.

Though he had not received any life-threatening calls from anybody yet, the top film producer disclosed that he had received more than 1,000 calls on his mobile phone over the movie.

Sarkodie Cries For Babies; “I need A Woman To help Me”

2012 Black Entertainment (BET) Awards Ghanaian Best International Act African nominee “SARKODIE” surprised his fans in Ghana on Friday 15^th June 2012 when KSM of “THANK GOD IS FRIDAY” which televises every Friday night on Metro TV featured him on his complex.

Sarkodie gave details on how he got himself involved in his musical calling, the success he has achieved and his mega plans for the future of Ghana Music in his own mode. Aside that, he mentioned: Coming up as a great artiste wasn’t that easy as to how people outside his world see it.

KSM then question Sarkodie about his dating life since he stated sometime ago on the same platform he’s married to his music. The Ghanaians finest rapper did not hesitate to answer or escape the question just like how over 60% Ghanaian public figures does. He then answered exclusively in a confidential manner saying:

Despite My Massive Hit and Success in Ghana and across the walls of Africa, I’m Still Married to My Music BUT there is only one thing I wish and hope for in life right about now, I NEED BABIES, In fact only Two Babies.

What a Shock!?? The THANK GOD IS FRIDAY host then chipped in asking how sarkodie want to make two babies as claimed when he’s not married to a woman but his music or is he planning to make babies with any woman who is ready to work out that with him? Sarkodie pronounced after KSM’s question: I don’t think having babies with a woman who you don’t have any relationship with or married to is RIGHT. I with rather hope and Pray as well as wait upon the Lord, stated Sarkodie.

Funny enough KSM released a telephone digit on air (TV) to interested ladies who are ready or interest in having babies for Sarkodie. What is KSM up to?

Eazzy Shines in South Africa

Eazzy

The popularity of Ghanaian musician Eazzy, born Mildred Ashong, one of Ghana’s representatives in the Big Brother StarGame this year, has shot up due to her controversial exit from the game.

Some persons thought Eazzy’s of the eviction show would have sent her down the drains of Africa as regards her career but the musician has almost become the most popular house mate aside Zainab.
Nicknamed the “stubborn housemate”, Mildred has used the platform to promote her music massively in South Africa.

Her song ‘Wengeze’ is receiving great airplay in the Big Brother House and is being streamed on the internet in South Africa.

Knowing the royalty system in South Africa, Mildred has and will hit the jackpot.
When asked what made enter the Big Brother StarGame, she answered, “I’ve always wanted a platform across Africa to promote my music and that opportunity came at the right time.
I’m glad I took that opportunity and it is paying off very well.”

In a related development, Kennis Music in Nigeria (which also manages BBA Housemate Goldie) has concluded a deal with Blaq Kapricorn for Eazzy to join an upcoming tour in Nigeria in the coming months.

Sarkodie Goes Gospel

Sarkodie with Herty Borngreat

Ghana’s reining Artiste of the Year, Sarkodie “Obidiponbidi” can pass as one of the country’s most celebrated secular artistes in the Hip life genre; but he has released a gospel song that talks about his real life story.
The song, ‘Bebrebe’, has not yet been played on any media network and would be officially released this evening.
‘Bebrebe’ is a duet between Sarkodie and award-winning gospel musician, Herty Bongreat, with the beat produced by Kaywa.

The song talks about how Sarkodie’s mother was suffering from ill health and her situation deteriorated to the extent that she almost lost hope until she miraculously got healed.
Sarkodie also sings about how God had raised him from obscurity to prominence and blessed his music career so much that he has grabbed some of the industry’s biggest awards.
Herty also sings about the blessing of God in her life and the number of children God has blessed her family with. Indeed, Herty has five strong children all below age 12.

This is the second time Herty is collaborating with a secular artiste for a gospel production. She recently released gospel track ‘Kano Seyaa’ with award-winning hip-hop star, Trigmatic.
The collaboration between Trigmatic and Herty sparked a heated controversy and this new track with Sarkodie would not be an exception.
It was difficult reaching Herty to explain the choice of Sarkodie but she had explained the Trig collaboration in a previous interview with NEWS-ONE.
“You may call it unusual but the idea is just to get my ministry as a gospel musician to reach a new audience and a large audience for that matter.

Trigmatic is a good artiste and has a large following especially among the youth.
If I have to do hip-hop to get the gospel of Christ to hip hop fans, so be it because as the Bible says, I became all things to all persons just to win some for Christ.
“I believe if I was in Jamaica, I would be doing my gospel songs in reggae or raga with the lyrics in Patua because that is the medium through which the message would reach the people.
“In America for instance, Kirk Franklin has really used his style to spread the gospel of Christ and we cannot deny that the hip-hop/hip life genre is very well accepted among Ghanaian youth and it would therefore be prudent that I package the message in a way they would accept,” Herty Bongreat explained to NEWS-ONE.

“I believe any gospel musician who cannot mingle freely and work with musicians who do not belong to the gospel fraternity has a problem.
If we cannot take our message of Christ to our fellow musicians with whom we belong to the same profession, then we have no business attempting to reach others.

I’m proud of the collaboration with Trigmatic because at the end of the day, he has helped my ministry.
He has done God’s work and this is just the beginning of such collaborations,” Herty concluded.
It is certainly a great time for Sarkodie who seems to be excelling on all fronts.
He has earned a great deal of respect for himself within the hiplife fraternity and certainly he would make a mark in the gospel grouping with this new one with Herty.
Speculations say Sarkodie has recently bought a mansion at Ashalley Botwe in Accra and had also dumped his ‘life-starter’ Toyota Matrix and bought a brand new ‘whip’. Certainly he has every reason to thank God.

I Have A Crush On Pastor Mensah Otabil - MZBEL

Mzbel

Sexy and controversial singer, Nana Akua Amoah known in showbiz circles as Mzbel has openly confessed that she has a crush on the Founder and leader of the International Central Gospel Church, (ICGC), Pastor Mensah Otabil.

According to Mzbel, who describes Pastor Otabil as ‘hot’ and charismatic, the preacher possesses all the qualities of what she calls a unique man of her choice.
She added that she would have willingly availed herself to be Pastor Otabil if only he was not married.
Mzbel was reacting to a prophecy by Prophet Joshua Awuah Kodon aka Odeefuor Pae Mu Ka that she would one day marry a man of God and become an ‘Osofo Maame.’

Prophet Kodon, who is the founder and General Overseer of Baiddo Gospel International Church at Akomadan in the Ashanti Region, Mzbel’s calling is to be the wife of a pastor and there is no room for bargaining adding that the sassy singer will have no choice than to heed to the call when the time comes.

Speaking on Adom FM’s drive time show, Ofie Kwanso, Mzbel revealed that this was not the first time she was receiving such a prophecy saying some pastors including award winning gospel artist, Cecilia Marfo had told her on several occasions that she would marry a pastor, while some have said that she would be an evangelist but she did not take them serious

She also disclosed that she had dated a man of God before and even though it did not work out she would reconsider marrying a pastor if it was worth it adding that she would want to marry a smart, good looking, and sexy man of God.

DSP Sarpong Seeks Support

DSP Kofi Sarpong

Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Kofi Sarpong, scheduled tour to some parts of the country to promote peace before, during and after the December 7 elections, has been stalled due to lack of support.

The peace project, dubbed ‘Kofi One on One Peace and Educational Tour’, which is being organised by Media Excel Productions, will take the gospel music star to all the 10 regional capitals and some selected districts in the country.

The law enforcement officer, who has decided to use his voice to make people abide by the law, is finding it difficult to kick start the tour because of lack of sponsorship.

He is therefore calling on all well-meaning Ghanaians to help make his tour successful by supporting him.

According to the organisers, they would use the tour to sensitize Ghanaians against election-related violence and seek God’s presence for the nation through prayer, preaching and powerful song ministration.
Artistes billed to perform alongside Kofi Sarpong during the tour include, Jack Alolomi, Bernice Offei, Becca, Gifty Osei, Selina Boateng, Dr. Cryme and the Wind Afrique Band.

I miss Big Brother House - DKB

DKB

Derrick Kobina Bonney, aka DKB, has revealed he has nostalgic memories of the Big Brother Africa house and wished he could turn the hands of time.

The Ghanaian representative of the Big Brother StarGame in the Upville house, who was kicked out of the on-going 91-day reality show for physically assaulting a female colleague, said he relished every moment spent in the house and wished he had not been kicked out.

DKB was responding to a question posed by a listener of Talk Entertainment on Rhythms A-Z on Joy FM Saturday.

The listener wanted to know if DKB missed being in the Big Brother House and he responded in the affirmative.

“When I started watching (BBA) again it’s funny how I started missing the house. You know I could go like ahhh this couch; I used to relax in this couch, ohhh this used to be my cup. I used to love taking ice cream from the freezer and everything. Yeah I miss it. I mean its one beautiful place but the emotions that come with it ahhh you don’t wanna know,” he answered.

Among other things, the comedian spoke about his stay in the BBA house and his infamous confrontation with his Sierra Leonean housemate, Zainab, who provoked him to slap her.

DKB has since apologized for his actions and maintained if given another opportunity he would have handled things differently.

Having reflected on the incident since leaving the house, he said, “I would run away (if Zainab provoked me under the same circumstance).”

He said he would seize every chance to go back to the BBA house which he affectionately called "a beautiful prison".

“I am a famer and a herbalist; I smoke many things including leaves and herbs.” - Kwadee

In the era where stars and celebrities find it inconvenient and difficult to talk about whether or not they are involved in the use of drugs, Okomfour Kwadee known in private life as Jerry Anaba, otherwise known as Kwame Awudi has confirmed that he smokes cannabis (wee).

Following a report published in this week’s edition ofthe Flex newspaper captioned; “Okomfo Kwadee – has he gone ‘mad’ again”, the presenter of 205 Total Entertainment, AduBoahene decided to call and interview him to ascertain the authenticity or otherwise of the story.

During the interview although Kwadee was not straight as to whether he was mad or not, he said he visited the Psychiatric Hospital for treatment. “People go to the Psychiatric hospital not because they are mad or something but goes there for many other ailments. So my going there does not mean I was mad.  Besides if you want to know anything about somebody, ask people who are closer to the person and don’t sit and make your own speculations. Kwadee reiterated.

He continued in the interview that, he was happy people are saying so many things about him because he believes that will help get him to the top. “I am happy if people are thinking and talking about me. That is what will make me popular and I like it. I pursue my career without thinking evil about anybody so I get amazed when people make speculations about me especially about my health.

When the presenter asked whether he smokes, this is what the lyrical poet said: “I am a famer and a herbalist; I smoke many things including leaves and herbs.” Funny enough, the Presenter was not satisfied with the answer and therefore persuaded Kwadee with lots more question on the type of farming he does and the particular leaves and herbs he smokes.

“Yes I smoke herbs; I smoke cannabis and I have been smoking since I was young. That is why I asked you to investigate the background of people before you judge them.” Kwadee revealed.
Surprisingly, Kwadee answered all the questions from the presenter to the understanding of everybody listening without any trace of madness in his speech. So the question most of the panelists at the studio asked was, why he spoke in so much parables and proverbs when he came back from the first hibernation?

Kwadee is one of the few Ghanaian Hip Life musicians who since their inception into the music industry, chalked success with every single album they churned out. It would be recalled that, Kwadee went into hibernation for about three and many reports circulated the media about his where about and some said he was admitted at the Pantang Psychiatric Hospital because he was mad.

Kwadee came back from the hibernation to release another hit album “me nie” and even staged a concert at the National theater to launch the album which became a talk of the town concert about three ago.

10th Anniversary of Bob Santo’s Death

 Bob Santo

Wednesday (30th May, 2012) marks 10yrs of the death of the famous actor and comedian Mr John Evans Bosompem popularly known as ‘Bob Santo’ whose death occurred on 30th May 2002.

The comedian-actor Bob Santo rose to stardom in 1990 when the drama wing of Nana Kwame Ampadu’s African Brothers Band came out with their first cassette tape recording. The play, titled Ntwatosuo, saw Santo playing the role of a deviant servant in the palace of Nana Konfanko.

He became the leader of the Omintiminim Concert Party in 1995 when he and his best friend Abusapanyin Judas left African Brothers to go into film acting and concert party performance.
Santo featured in several video productions some of which include Double Sense, 419, Banker to Banker, Marijata and Asem. 

He died at the West End Hospital in Kumasi after a short illness. He was 62 and was survived by two wives and three children.
