‘With friends like these, who needs enemies?’ As the old saying goes. Rapper Guru claims a close friend of his once tried to poison him, and he nearly died but for the intervention of a pastor, who spiritually took the toxins out of his body. Born Maradona Yeboah Adjei, Guru was speaking with Delay on her talk show when he made the allegations. According to him, the incident occurred right before a planned performance and he found himself on stage unable to vocalize. “I only realised I was poisoned when I was going on stage and saw changes in my voice and funny feelings within my stomach. I did all the check-ups in the world and doctors were even amazed because they couldn’t find anything in my throat. I had difficulties in talking. I get choked when I try talking.” he said. “I have a strong family too so I had a clue about what was going on. I decided to find solution and it was taken out of my system. A pastor did a surgery on me and took some things o...

Korkor, who suffers from bipolar disorder, took to social media to apologize for her actions, attributing it to a relapse of her mental condition.

Days after an online outrage and complaints of racism against an exhibition that displayed images of Africans in comparison with wild animals, the Chinese museum pulled down the exhibits. The Hubei Provincial Museum in Wuhan displayed the exhibition since late September ahead of the Chinese national Golden Week holiday. This was captured on video and uploaded on Instagram. The exhibits included a photograph of a roaring lion next to an African man with the same expression; a pensive monkey next to another man; elephants and giraffes next to African children among others.

Snoop Dogg isn't retiring his nonchalant flow and penchant for wordplay just yet. The veteran rapper is set to bless fans with new music and very soon at that, all the while taking jabs at Donald Trump. On Sunday (Oct. 15), the Long Beach legend took to Instagram to share what appears to be cover art for his forthcoming project, titled Make America Crip Again. "Oct 27 new snoop Dogg," the "Gin & Juice" rapper captioned the post. The now-rumored new project is an obvious reference to President Trump's slogan, "Make America Great Again." which has continually been co-opted. Make America Crip Again is set to debut fresh on the heels of the release of his last project Neva Left. With Snoop returning to his gangsta rap roots, there's no telling what his forthcoming effort may entail.

At least five students and a security guard have been shot and killed in a dawn attack at a secondary school in northern Kenya.  The attack was allegedly led by a former student who had been suspended, the school's head teacher said.

The Central Region, ranked as the second highest region with high prevalence of teenage pregnancy in the country, has started witnessing a decline in the number of cases, the Regional Department of Gender has revealed.    A Ghana Health Service Report indicated that more than 13,000 teenage girls got pregnant in the region in 2015.

A man has renamed himself after his favourite brand of tea. Nathan Garner, 31, is now known as Nathan Yorkshire Tea Gardner. He changed his name by deedpoll. The brew fan hails from Sheffield – which is in Yorkshire, for anyone who might not know. He drinks at least (at least!) 15 cups a day, so besotted is he with the warming British favourite, even knocking back two cups before he's even brushed his teeth. He said: "I was at work one day and my mate Billy said, 'chuffin' hell, you drink so much of the stuff you should change your name to Yorkshire Tea'. "I thought it was a great idea, so at lunch I got out my phone and went onto the website and got rid of Derek." Nathan didn't kill anyone called Derek. No, this story doesn't take such a sinister turn. Derek was Nathan's middle name. Keep up to be honest. "1of our GRC team has changed his name from Nathan Garner to Nathan Yorkshire Tea Gar...

Arsene Wenger's may have the lost the backing of large swathes of Arsenal supporters in recent months - but at least he can count on support from inside the Oval office. As 'Wenger Out' banners continue to pop up all over the world, Barron Trump, son of the President of the United States, has been pictured playing football dressed in Arsenal's famous red and white strip. Despite being in the midst of their worst run of form since Arsene Wenger took over as manager, Donald Trump's son Barron clearly remains a diehard Gooner. The 11-year-old was pictured kicking around an orange football as part of the White House's Easter Egg Roll celebrations. Trump donned the kit on the same day MLS team DC United visited the White House. DC United striker Patrick Mullins said he was impressed by Barron's knowledge of the game. "He was very knowledgeable about soccer, knew about DC United and was interested to know more. "...

Former Municipal Chief Executive for the Ejisu Juaben Municipality in the Ashanti Region, Afrifa Yamoah Ponkoh says some elements in the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) are behind a publication that appeared in a UK-based news portal citing Otumfuo Osei Tutu II in a money laundering scandal. Though he did not mention names, he disclosed that they are members of the present government emphasizing that their plot will be resisted by right-thinking residents of Asanteman and subjects of the king. The leading member of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), is convinced that the alleged $350,000 money laundering saga leveled against the Asante monarch, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II is politically motivated by some people in the NPP to tarnish the image of the great Asante Kingdom. He said they will soon be exposed and chased out of the country. “How can some people be so mean and make such damming allegations against our great King? They should stop this no...

Conor McGregor pocketed around $100m by swapping the octogan for squared circle, and now Michael Phelps has floated the idea of the Irishman taking to water. The 23-time Olympic gold medalist asked his 2.2 million strong Twitter following is he should step out of retirement and challenge McGregor to a swimming race - presumably with the fighter getting a sizeable head-start. Phelps is no stranger to sporting novelty events, racing a 'shark' as part of a Discovery Channel publicity stunt earlier this year. Of course, the shark was created using CGI and beat Phelps by two seconds in the 100 metre race that left viewers disappointed that history's most decorated Olympian hadn't jumped in the water with a deadly predator. After McGregor's money-spinning venture in Las Vegas against Floyd Mayweather, Mixed Martial Arts fans are waiting to see what his next move will be. At 29, the Dublin-born UFC star has plenty of fighting year...

Founder of the All People’s Congress (APC) Dr. Hassan Ayariga has rejected claims by many Ghanaians that the new Free Senior High School policy introduced by the New Patriotic Party government is an achievement.    On After Hours on TV3, Hassan Ayariga argued that what the NPP term as free SHS should rather be described as, “Scholarship for 400,000 first year students”.  He told host Mikki Osei Berko: “I don’t think free SHS is an achievement. This is not the first time government has implemented free SHS. Kwame Nkrumah introduced free education for everyone. They are giving scholarships to 400,000 students.    They are not implementing free SHS. They are giving scholarships to first year students. The third year students are paying school fees so why call it free SHS.    I don’t think they were ready; they only rushed to implement it just to score some political points”. The former Presidential candidate of the People’s...

Controversial counsellor, Reverend George Lutterodt has advised men who are vertically challenged to be financially sound before considering marriage. According to him, men below the average height who are fortunate to have wives should forever be grateful to them because most women claim to love ‘thick tall’ men. “I am encouraging all the short men. Be careful not to lose all the women who have agreed to marry you because if you lose them because of your height it will be difficult for you to get another woman to marry…” he advised. “Let the women know you are short. You only need make money. Look for money [that is breathing] so the women would know you are okay…” He continued that, “If you are short, look at yourself in the mirror every morning salute and thank your wife. Don’t make a mistake to let her go or file for divorce. If you are a short girl too, makes sure you are beautiful…” he added. Counselor Lutterodt also cautioned short men not to date sho...

The Black Starlets recovered from a defeat to the United States to beat host nation India 4-0 to book a place in the next round of the on-going FIFA under 17 FIFA World Cup. A brace from Captain Eric Ayiah and a goal each from substitutes Danso and Toku were all Ghana needed to end India’s World Cup dreams. The host nation started the game brightly, pinning Ghana to the wall but the Starlets stood their ground to ensure that their defensive line wasn’t breached. Ghana grew into the game and created some decent openings but the frontline led by captain Ayiah could not make the best out of the numerous chances created. Ghana had the breakthrough on the stroke of half-time when Eric Ayiah pounced on a rebound to register his first goal of the tournament. Ayiah’s first-half goal lifted the pressure on the Starlets who returned from the break to play with freedom, confidence and panache. The Starlets attacked their opponents incessantly and eventually got the s...

The office of the Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has pooh-poohed the circulation of supposed posters announcing his interest to contest election 2020. In a rather brief and not-so-detailed statement copied to citifmonline.com on Thursday, signed by Frank Ayei-Twum, Communications Director of the Office of the Vice President, he asked Ghanaians to ignore the posters and its content, claiming they are “meant to cause disaffection for the Vice President.” “The attention of the Office of Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has been drawn to posters purporting to indicate that H.E. Dr Bawumia has begun a campaign to lead the New Patriotic Party into the 2020 elections.” “It is clear that the perpetrator(s) of this act intend to cause disaffection for the Vice President but their campaign will fail. For the avoidance of doubt, we wish to state unequivocally that the posters are the figment of the imagination of the originator(s), and we call on all Ghanaians ...

Confederations of African Football (CAF) have dropped South African referee Daniel Bennett from officiating in the Champions League second-leg semifinal clash between Nady Al Ahly and Etoile du Sahel.   Bennett, who was originally appointed to officiate in the crunch clash at the Borg el Aram Stadium, has been sidelined following his abysmal performance in the 2018 World Cup qualifier between the Cranes of Uganda and the Black Stars in Kampala last Saturday. Mr Bennett and assistants denied Ghana a perfect goal in the 93rd minute with television replays showing that it was a perfect goal.   The referee also denied Ghana a penalty earlier in the second-half when Ghana midfielder Frank Acheampong was brought down in the box. The Ghana Football Association has however, reported the referee and his Seychellois assistants to FIFA for their horrendous officiating.   The beleaguered official has however been replaced by fellow South...
