Shatta Wale explains why he will now charge Sarkodie, others for song features

Dancehall artistes Charles Nii Armah Mensah, popularly known as Shatta Wale, says he will begin to charge colleague musicians, especially Sarkodie if they need him on their songs.

According to Shatta, charging Sarkodie and his likes will put them on their toes to wake up from their slumber in the music industry.

Speaking on Daybreak Hitz on Hitz FM on Tuesday, Shatta said he was surprised that Sarkodie will shoot a music video with a Nigerian but refuse to do same with him when he was an up and coming artiste.

He told show host Andy Dosty that he will charge some colleague musicians and will ready himself to pay for their services should he want to feature them too.

“I am trying to charge Sarkodie for something from Strongman. He told me he will pay. If it’s Strongman from Sarkcess, they will have to pay because that’s how we can keep them on their toes. If he charges me too, I will pay. When you are a man and you fear money, you will never get it…” Shatta said.

“I did a song with him but he didn’t shoot the video but with a Nigerian, he did; what is he talking about,” he queried.

Asked why he didn’t shoot the music video with his own money, Shatta Said “The time I did the dancehall commando, I had nothing. If Sarkodie had something small he could have,”he said.

Shatta Wale is currently promoting his album dubbed, The Reign which is due to be released on October 13, 2018.

Kwadwo Asamoah likely to miss Kenya clash in Afcon qualifier

Kwadwo Asamoah likely to miss Kenya clash in Afcon qualifier

Ghana assistant coach Ibrahim Tanko admits Inter Milan ace Kwadwo Asamoah could miss next week’s Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Kenya due to fitness concerns.

The playmaker, who has been recalled to the Black Stars after a four-year absence, is currently battling with a knock picked up while in league action for the Nerazzurri on Sunday.

The setback forced his substitution in the game, and he had until Thursday been training separately from Inter’s full squad. Although his fitness is still being evaluated, he has been named in Luciano Spalletti’s matchday squad for Saturday’s Serie A clash with Bologna.

“I spoke to Kwesi Appiah a while ago and he was complaining about Asamoah injury situation, not only him but John Boye as well,” Tanko told Goal on Thursday.

“We’re going to wait until the end of Friday, he [Appiah] will speak with him [Asamoah] to check how he is doing.

“We still have the chance to call up a replacement if need be. But I don’t think it is likely because we have already invited 21 players and in such a game as an Afcon qualifier, only 18 players can dress.

“So let’s wait until the end of Friday to know if he will be available or not, if a new player will be called to replace him or if we will go with the remaining of the players already called up.

“This is the situation.”
Asamoah’s absence will be a massive blow to Appiah, who is hoping to re-integrate the Inter man back into the Black Stars as the Afcon qualifiers get into full swing.

The 29-year-old has not played for Ghana since featuring in an Afcon qualifier against Uganda in September 2014. He asked to be excused from national duty due to a long-term injury problem.

FC Metz centre-back Boye, on the other hand, picked up an injury during a French Cup clash with Lens on Tuesday. He was substituted in just the 15th minute.

Find your school: 2018 SHS choices of BECE candidates released

The Ghana Education Service (GES) has completed and placed all the candidates who passed their 2018 Basic Education Certificate Examinations, into the various senior high schools, technical and vocational institutes for the 2018/2019 academic year.

Results of the 509,827 candidates who sat for the exams were released by the West African Examination Council last week.
The entire results of 2,061 candidates were withheld pending the conclusion of investigations.

Those of 83 candidates were cancelled “for bringing mobile phones into the examination hall and receiving external assistance”.

One hundred and thirty-four had their subject results cancelled for bringing foreign materials into the exams centres.

Others among the 134 had their subject results cancelled for collusion and engaging in irregular activity during the exams.

According to the Council, it is investigating the alleged malpractices after which a determination would be made on either to release or cancel those results, a statement by the Council announcing the release of the BECE results said.

Meanwhile the GES has asked the candidates who passed their exams to go to the Computer School Selection and Placement portal (www.cssps.gov.gh) to check the schools they have been placed.

Alternatively, candidates can check their placement by purchasing the CSSPS scratch card and texting the 10-digit code plus their index number to the short code 1060 on all mobile networks.

“Candidates can now print their placement forms and send them to their respective schools,” the GES said in a statement.

I dated Essien but didn’t know he was married, says Princess Shyngle

Gambian actress based in Ghana Princess Shyngle, has revealed that she previously date former Chelsea superstar Michael Essien for a year.

According to the young actress with a weird waist, she was unaware that Essien was married to Akosua Puni.

“I dated him for one year. I had no idea he was married,” Shyngle told Delay.

“I had no reason to ask him because I never saw wedding ring on his finger and there were obviously no pictures of him and any woman on a social media so I assumed that he was a single man.

“Technically, no we’re not dating any longer! What happened was I got to know that he was married and that was a deal breaker for me.

“Obviously, we were out in public which was a dumb move and I got contacted by some people that he was married and then I decided to google and I found out that he was really married,” she added.

Shyngle, however, also revealed that she went out with Black Avenue Music boss D-Black for two years.

Essien previously dated Ghanaian actress Nadia Buari and the duo were reported to be close to marrying but the plans fell through in the eleventh hour.

Chelsea up for sale? Sir Ratcliffe’s initial £2 billion bid rejected

Chelsea up for sale? Sir Ratcliffe’s initial £2 billion bid rejected

CHELSEA owner Roman Abramovich has put the club up for sale with a price tag of more than £2billion, it was claimed last night.

It follows the Russian oligarch’s dispute with the Government in recent months over his visa status.

The mammoth figure demanded for Chelseawould smash the world record fee for the sale of a football club.

If a buyer summons up the cash it would nearly triple the most expensive takeover in history — the Glazer family’s £790million purchase of Manchester United in 2006.

The Raine Group has been hired to assist with the deal and will seek interest from China, the US and the Middle East, The Sunday Times has reported.

The investment bank also helped Manchester City’s Abu Dhabi owners to flog a 13 per cent stake to Chinese investors for £1.9billion three years ago.

Abramovich, 51, is said to have rejected a £2billion bid for his club from Britain’s richest man Sir Jim Ratcliffe earlier this year.

The Russian, who has an estimated fortune of £9billion, recently acquired Israeli citizenship amid his visa row in Britain.

He also halted plans for a new 60,000-capacity stadium for Chelsea that would have cost an estimated £500million.

Once renowned as big spenders, Chelsea’s transfer dealings have also slowed significantly compared to their rivals.

Abramovich has been in charge of Chelsea since July 2003 when he bought the West London club for £140million from Ken Bates.

Under his ownership, the Blues have won five Premier League titles, the Champions League, the Europa League and the FA Cup five times.

Isaac Dogboe gives Otake first round knockout in Arizona

Ghana’s Isaac Dogboe successfully defended his WBO super bantamweight title on Sunday morning when he humiliated Japan’s Hidenori Otake with a first-round knockout in Arizona.

The Accra-born was impressive from the start, threw some fine punches and finally put Otake down for the first time in just the second minute with a strong left hook.

Although, the Japanese got up and showed some resilience by fighting back, he couldn’t hold on for long, as he fell just 20 seconds later, after another strong punch from Dogboe landed straight into his face.

Despite the fact that Otake wanted to, at least, see the end of the first round, the referee brought down the curtains to prevent the Japanese veteran from taking further punishment.

Following the victory, Dogboe, who is only 23 years old, has a record of 20-0 wins with 13 of those wins coming via Knockouts.

On the other hand, Otake’s records stand as 13 fights, three wins and three draws. However, this is the first time the Japanese has stopped or being knocked out in his career and it is very interesting that it was even in the first round.

Dogboe is expected back in the country this week and a hero’s welcome will be given to him at the Kotoka International Airport in Accra.

Richard Baffour scores to win Ismaily their first game in Egyptian Premier League

Ghanaian defender Richard Baffour scored the match-winner when Ismaily pipped Misr Lel Makasa 1-0 in the Egyptian Premier League on Friday night.

The centre-back rose above his marker at the near post to head in a corner from his teammate to win his side their first game of the season.

Ismaily, prior to this game, had shared the spoils 1-1 with table toppers Al Ahly 1-1 away on opening day before they also drew goalless with Petrojet at home.

They, however, suffered their first defeat to Al Ittihad last weekend when they succumbed to a 1-0 defeat away.

Ismaily, who are currently eighth on the log with five points, will travel to Petrosport Stadium in Cairo to face Nogoom next week before they host ENPPI.

Baffour joined Ismaily from Bechem United three seasons ago after he helped the Hunters to lift the Ghana FA Cup trophy, beating lower-tier side Okwawu United in the final at the Cape Sports Stadium.

Court throws out injunction petition against merging of KNUST’s Kantanga & Conti halls

Court throws out injunction petition against merging of KNUST’s Kantanga & Conti halls

A Kumasi High Court two has struck out an injunction application case seeking to restrain the management of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) to convert two male halls of residence of the University into a mixed one.

Alumni of the Unity and University Halls had sought an injunction application against the conversion of the halls.

Both Continental and Katanga halls have been protesting the decision by management to convert the halls.

There was a heavy police presence at the premises of the court today, Friday, August 24, 2018.

Both alumni and continuing students from both halls had massed up at the court premises to witness the case.

The court presided over by Justice Samuel Obeng Diawuo explains the applications came after the University had allocated accommodation to students who had admissions.

The Judge also explained that granting the request by the plaintiffs will cause inconvenience for fresh students who had already secured accommodation at the University.

Lead counsel of the Katanga Hall, Lawyer Stephen Asante Bekoe addressing journalists after the ruling disagreed with court’s explanations.

He hinted at heading to the Supreme Court to challenge the ruling and seek proper interpretation on the matter.

The two halls have already petitioned Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, Chancellor of KNUST, to intervene, after demonstrating through the principal streets of the Ashanti Region.

The Students’ Representative Council (SRC) of KNUST has also petitioned President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo over the conversion of the school’s single-sex halls.

The SRC claimed several pleas to the school’s authorities to rescind the decision failed hence the petition.

“By this petition, we ask that you intervene in the matter to get the University to have a review on issues thus far, and get the best result which will favor the entire student populace,” a section of the petition pleaded.
