Former Public Relations Officer of the Film Producers Association of Ghana (FIPAG) has painted a very dark and gloomy picture of the country’s entertainment industry. According to Ola Michael, people should not be swayed by the flamboyant lifestyle of more than half of the country’s celebrities because most of them are glorified prostitutes. The movie producer, who admitted to having pimped or served as a middle man for some of the female celebrities and rich men, said most of these females simply sell sex to keep up a flashy lifestyle. Laying the horrifying tale of ‘fame, rich men and sex’…

US President Donald Trump has launched a furious attack on Special Counsel Robert Mueller and on his critics at a conservative summit. In the longest speech of his presidency, Mr Trump railed against the inquiry into alleged collusion between his campaign and Russia. “We’re waiting for a report by people who weren’t elected,” he told a crowd of cheering conservatives. Mr Mueller is expected to hand in his report to the attorney general shortly. “Unfortunately, you put the wrong people in a couple of positions and they leave people for a long time that shouldn’t be there and all of…

Barcelona moved 10 points clear at the top of La Liga after a second El Clasico win in four days, Ivan Rakitic’s goal all but ending Real Madrid’s faint title hopes. Rakitic kept his composure to beat Thibaut Courtois after a one-two with Sergi Roberto split Real’s defence. Karim Benzema and Raphael Varane were denied towards the end but Real rarely looked like equalising at the Bernabeu. They are third in the table, 12 points behind Barcelona with 12 games left. Atletico Madrid, who are second, will cut Barca’s lead at the top to seven points if they win at…

An associate professor of the University of Ghana, Ransford Gyampo, has raised concern about China’s intense interest in Africa, stating the East Asian nation is engaged in both covert and overt means to relegate all other interests in Africa. Though he said the most important external partner of Africa and the Africa Union over the years has been the EU, he observed China appears to be intruding and clamouring for Africa. “It appears China is doing everything possible surreptitiously and overtly, to out-do and completely relegate European as well as other interests in Africa to the background,”  Prof Gyampo said…

Everyone dreams of winning the lottery – and for many, finding an envelope containing £300,000 on a bus would feel just like that. However, for one cleaner – who clearly lives by the mantra; honesty is the best policy – it was just another day of cleaning up. The honest worker from Cordant Cleaners, who has not been named, discovered the cash on a London bus and made the admirable decision to hand it in to the Met Police. It appears an absent minded passenger left the brown envelope filled with bank notes, which was only discovered when the vehicle…

President Akufo-Addo has charged the Board of Directors of the newly instituted Ghana Integrated Aluminium Development Corporation (GIADEC) to ensure that a vibrant aluminium industry is established in the country. “Aluminium is often described as the metal of the future. If that is the case, we have its raw material that is bauxite in abundance in Ghana. The time has come to make a concerted effort not only to bring the raw materials into play, but to establish the full value chain of the product so we can have a vibrant aluminium industry in Ghana,” he said. He said this…

On the finest of margins can matches, and even seasons, turn. Tottenham were labouring against their bitter rivals, seemingly out of ideas against an Arsenal team that led through Aaron Ramsey and had executed Unai Emery’s gameplan to the letter. Spurs were staring at a third consecutive Premier League defeat and the last time that happened was in 2012. The implications were grave. Mauricio Pochettino had conceded that the title was out of reach for his team after the losses at Burnley and Chelsea but another reverse would have imperilled their top-four hopes while simultaneously encouraging Arsenal. Then Christian Eriksen…
