Fabin slams ‘shambolic’ Kotoko players after Dreams FC defeat

 

The Porcupine Warriors coach has lashed out on his players after they conceded a late goal on Sunday

By: Evans Gyamera-Antwi

Asante Kotoko coach Paa Kwesi Fabin has slammed his charges following their 1-0 defeat to Dreams FC in the Ghana Premier League on Sunday in Dawu.

The Porcupines were in dire need of the three points to go top on the log but a late goal from George Dwubeng was enough to win the day for the hosts and Kotoko have dropped four places down on the log.

“This was a match we should have won hands down but I don’t know what happened to my players. In the last minute, we conceded a very silly goal and lost and I’m very disappointed,’’ Fabin said.

‘’We were searching for a goal to win the game and then move to plan B but the players were not doing what I asked them to do. I asked them to keep pushing forward and utilise the little chance we will get but it got a point they got relaxed. I’m not happy with such things,’’ he added.

Kotoko will welcome Berekum Chelsea to the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on Sunday and Fabin is optimistic of winning the game to ease the pressure.

“We will have the opportunity to make amends on Wednesday at home and I strongly believe we won’t disappoint again. We’ve not fared well away this season but at home, we are strong and it continue,” he said.

Heaven knows I tried my best, Patapaa replies VGMA board

The Agona Swedru superstar has hit back at the organisers of the awardsafter he stormed out of the auditorium

Hip-Life artiste Patapaa Amisty has suggested that he deserved to win the song of the Year award at the 2018 Ghana Music Awards night held on Saturday at the Accra International Conference Center.

The Swedru-based act saw his ‘One Corner’ song crossing boarders and becoming a global hit but he was surprisingly snubbed as he failed to win any of the categories nominated.

Brimming with confidence, Patapaa was spotted on the red carpet in a sea blue suit and promised that he will at least pick one award.

And prior to the announcement, many people believed Takin Over by Shatta Wale and the SM Militants was the only song very close to beat One Corner, however, Total Cheat was announced the eventual winner and the crowd booed that decision.

Patapaa furiously stormed out of the auditorium with his Patupa soldiers and head home very disappointed and disturbed.

According AshesGyamera.com’s sources, although the organisers of the awards admit Patapaa had the biggest of chances to clinch his first award in the VGMA, his fans didn’t vote for him massivel as expected unlike Fancy Gadam who won.

Last year, rapper Medikal suffered similar nightmares against the same Fancy Gadam, who won two awards on the night including Hip-Life Song of the Year in this edition.

2018 VGMA: Ebony crowned Artiste of the Year & other winners

Following an incredible year of music, the many artists have seen their hard work not going unnoticed while others are bitter but must gather the pieces and eye for better moments in the future

By: Evans Gyamera-Antwi

The 2018 Ghana Music Awards was successfully held on Saturday April 14 at the Accra International Conference Center and Ebony Reigns of blessed memories was adjudged as the best among the rest of musicians in the period under scrutiny.

The 20-year-old who net her untimely death in February saw her legacy living on even after her departure after she beat competition from Shatta Wale, Stonebwoy, Sarkodie and Joe Mettle.

The night saw great performances from ever-green Samini, Sarkodie, Kuame Eugene and the likes while Stonebwoy also didn’t disappoint only that his custom on stage was something that many onlookers weren’t impressed with.

However, the biggest shock of the night was when Patapaa’s One Corner and Shatta Wale’s Takin over were overlooked and Fancy Gaddam winning the most popular song of the Year with Total Cheat, something a section of Ghanaians feel it is indeed a ‘total cheat’.

Again, King Promise, Patapaa and others also were trending seriously with their outfit for the occasion.

In all, AshesGyamera.com had over 70 per cent of our predictions correct and hopes to improve the figure next year

2018 VGMA predictions: Who wins what tonight?

The biggest awards ceremony for musicians will be held finally on Saturday and deserving winners will be smiling, while others will be disappointed but need to gather courage and still hope for the best in future

By: Evans Gyamera-Antwi

It’s another successful year in the music industry and as usual, some hardworking musicians and other related people, will have their works finally rewarded for the efforts put in.

Without mincing words, the Ghana Music Awards is the biggest award scheme in the country amid the controversies surrounding it every time and this year’s program will be the 19th edition. The awards night is expected to be held today (April 14) at the Accra International Conference Center (AICC).

Interestingly, this will be the first time since 2014, that Shatta Wale will be making an appearance in the list of nominees following his banter with Charterhouse who happens to be the organisers of the program. In his comeback, he had six nominations and the biggest amongst them is the Artiste(s) of the Year.

However, there are other high-profile names in that category including the 90’s bad girl Ebony Reigns of blessed memories, Stonebwoy, Sarkodie and reigning champion Joe Mettle and winning won’t be that easy for the Ayoo hitmaker.

There were other musicians who had massive breakthroughs including King Promise, KiDi, Kuame Eugene, etc and many ‘underground’ artists would relish to one day obtain a portion of their luck amid their hard work.

Here, Editor-in-chief of AshesGyamera.com, presents his predictions after painstakingly going through the list and how each musician fared in the period under scrutiny, and believes the highlighted names below will be crowned winners.

Moesha finally begs Ghanaian women after claiming they survive only by dating married men

Moesha finally begs Ghanaian women after claiming they survive only by dating married men

The young lady, who made a damming statement about how Ghanaian women survive in an unfriendly economy, has now pleaded for forgiveness

Ghanaian social media celebrity Moesha Budong has sent a heartfelt apology to the rest of Ghanaian women following her interview on C.N.N this week.

According to the lady, who was born in the early 90’s, she and the rest of women in the West African country can only fend for themselves and the rest of their families when they date rich married men since the economy don’t favour women.

However, majority of women have kicked against this assertion and believe only lazy women live like Moesha.

“Dear gh this is Moesha. I have been humbled by all that is going on and I have also learnt a lot in the last few days since the CNN video came out. I have had a lot of time to think and reflect and I apologise,” Moesha posted on Instagram.

“TO ALL, ESPECIALLY MY AFRICAN SISTERS.

“I pray u all find it in your hearts to forgive me. It was definitely not my intention to offend any of you. I respect all the hard working women of our beloved country and accept that some of my utterances were not a reflection of what happens in most homes. GOD works in mysterious ways and everything happens because he says so.

“Thanks for the love, pieces of advice and criticisms. GOD bless us all! The full version of the interview drops this weekend and I hope you can appreciate what I said in its entirety. Thank you. God bless you all!” she added.

Meet David, the 10-year-old boy who quits school to become a mechanic

Meet David, the 10-year-old boy who quits school to become a mechanic

 

The youngster has decided to cut short classroom education and now follows his uncle’s instructions at a ‘fitting’ shop in a bid to become a mechanic

So today, I met one of my former students at the magazine and eventually, he was the one that worked on my car.

Here is David Amponsah, a 10-year-old boy who has opted to be a mechanic, since he says he does not like the idea of waking up early to rush and be seated at one place for almost eight hours with only Forty-five minutes break (30 minutes in the morning and 15 later in the afternoon).

Dave seriously at work

David stays just opposite my house and used to ran errands for me until recently, that he stopped checking up on me after school.

So last month, I asked about him in school and the younger brother told me he had gone to their mother in the village because he says he won’t attend school any longer since, no matter how we pamper him, he is not happy to be there.

A fortnight ago, he saw me coming from my house and took to his heels. Later in the evening, luck eluded him as I was going to buy some stuffs from a shop nearby. I advised him to come and promised to pay his examination fees, buy new school uniform and shoes for him and although, he initially budged, he didn’t come as promised, not knowing he was already an apprentice somewhere.

Dave is done with the job he was assigned

Today, I went to change my car’s engine oil and bumped into him. Interestingly, the shop is for his uncle and I had a little chat him about his nephew — “He is very good with the machines only few weeks that he had been here,” the Uncle said.

“I asked him to choose between this and education and he insisted he wants to be here, so we’ve all agreed to let him pursue his dreams since being here will in a way prevent him from several bad deeds because he is always under my career,” he added.

David, who was the right-back in our school’s football team, took his mat and went under the car and carefully drained the old oil from the engine before his uncle took over. He later started the engine and sat in for some time to check the sound the engine will make and latched ame to hand over the keys to me.

All this while, I was a bit sad since I at least, wanted him to attain a BECE certificate but, the joy and zeal he exhibited while working and the smiles all over his face, made me think that probably, he will be good here.

All the best Dave (as I affectionately used to call him)…..I will miss you.

Deputy youth and sports minister Hadzide slapped with SUSPENSION following 2018 Commonwealth games scandal

The deputy minister has been suspended until further notice for his role in the shambolic incident at the Commonwealth games

Ghana president Akufo-Addo has suspended youth and sports minister Pius Enam Hadzide on Thursday after he was fingered as a key factor in the scandal that hit Australia involving over sixty Ghanaians who wanted to enter Australia as journalists in their pursuit for greener pastures.

The ‘FAKE’ journalists were apprehended at the airport in Australia and many of the couldn’t even speak good English while some arrived without a recorders, laptops or even cameras to cover the game.

They were held hostage and later deported to Ghana with fully armed security attached to their planes.

AshesGyamera understands that there will be an emergency meeting at the Jubilee House on Friday and another set of people could face the wrath of the president when found guilty of any malpractices.

According to our sources, many of the deported Ghanaians paid close to $3,000 each excluding their plane tickets and other reservations which cost around $1,500.

Aduana Stars suspend Communication director Asamoah after ‘beating up’ CEO Commey

The young man who lost his temper and mercilessly manhandled his boss, has been told to step aside until further notice by the club’s top hierarchy

Aduana Stars have officially suspended the club’s communication director Dennis Asamoah indefinitely following his attack on chief executive officer Albert Commey on Sunday.

As revealed by AshesGyamera.com earlier this week, Asamoah retaliated an initial slap by Commey after he questioned him on a certain portion of the contract between the club and alcoholic beverage company Happy Man Bitters.

The incident took place few minutes after they defeated Fosa Juniors from Madagascar 6-1 in the first leg of the last qualifying round in the Caf Confederation Cup.

Commey in an interview with Sikka FM confirmed that he was attacked by Asamoah but revealed that the latter attacked him because he was drunk.

“It’s true there was a fracas between myself and Asamoah and I don’t regret slapping him. For what he did to me later, I realised he was drunk,” Commey said.

“I smelled alcohol all over him later and realised he wasn’t of himself,” he added.

AshesGyamera understands that Asamoah who previously had similar issues with the club’s former CEO Kofi Manu ‘Blue Boy’, has been advised to apologise to Commey before the club’s owner Nana Agyemang Badu pronounce the final decision after the second leg against Fosa on April 18.

Guardiola blames Spanish referee Lahoz for Manchester City defeat to Liverpool in Champions League

The Etihad Stadium was silenced by Jurgen Klopp’s charges on Tuesday night but Pep Guardiola is pointing accusing fingers on the referee

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has taken a swipe at Spanish referee Antonio Mateu Lahoz following his side’s 2-1 defeat to Liverpool in the Uefa Champions League on Tuesday. Goals from Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino ended City’s ambition of lifting the trophy.

The defeat meant that City are now kicked out of the competition with a 5-1 aggregate scoreline but Guardiola believes Liverpool were aided by some key decisions by the referee.

The former Barcelona boss was sent into the stands by the referee after his protest to Leroy Sane’s goal which was ruled offside.

“I said [to Lahoz] it was goal, I didn’t insult him,” Guardiola said after the game.

“I was polite, I was correct, but Mateu Lahoz is a special guy, he likes to be different, he likes to be special.

“I know what happened in Monaco last season so he is a referee whenever people see the things, he will see the opposite. It’s too much to send me off because I didn’t say any wrong words.

“I just said, ‘It’s a goal, the ball came off (James) Milner’. He said, ‘Oh the pass came from Milner?’ And I said, ‘Yes, it came from Milner. It is not offside’. If we go to 2-0 against that side it is a little bit different.

Guardiola complaining to the referee

“The first goal from Salah in the second half made us change the way we played and we were tired. But I know him (Lahoz) from Spain so I could imagine that.

“We spoke about that. We know him. The players felt it. But please, Liverpool deserved to go through,” he added.

Guardiola further insisted that Liverpool were even lucky with several decisions in the 3-0 defeat in the first leg
at Anfield.

“It’s different when [Mo] Salah’s goal at Anfield is offside,” Guardiola said. “It’s different when Gabriel Jesus’ goal at Anfield is offside. It’s a penalty for Raheem Sterling from Andy Robertson in front of the fourth official. Of course they have an influence.

“Big congratulations to Liverpool, hopefully they can represent England well in the semi-final. They are a top team and have a top manager (Jurgen Klopp). They deserve to be there.

“We made an outstanding 45 minutes but like last season against Monaco with Aguero, when it is a clear penalty and the same referee, in this competition the teams are so equal the impact (of decisions) is so big.”
