Black Stars bounced back to winning ways on Monday, November 28, as they defeated South Korea in their second Group H game. A brace from Mohammed Kudus and another from Mohammed Salisu saw Otto Addo’s side pick up their first points of the 2022  shoppingmode   FIFA  World Cup.

  The CEO For Speech Music Mr Enock Agyepong has said that the Creative Arts Industry Must Support Mark Darlington in his case against the FDA Celebrity Ban Directive. Speaking to Sammy Flex on his entertainment show on CTV, Mr Agyepong stated that if the Law does not bare citizens from Advertising Alcholic Drinks then there is no need for the FDA to Ban Celebrities from doing same since that will amount to Discrimination. If it's ok to advertise Alcohol after forinstance 8pm why stop Celebs from doing same he quizzed. I agree with Mark Darlington for taking the matter to the Supreme Court for Interpretation. In 2015 the FDA came up with a Directive Banning all Celebrities from Advertising Alcoholic Drinks which saw a lot of Celebrities losing huge sums of monies due to the abrogation of their endorsement deals. Some Alcoholic companies took their sponsorship to the neighbouring countries and got same Celebrities to endorse and bring the adverts back to Ghana via social media. Most...

The Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) has barely two weeks to file its defense in a suit brought against it regarding portions of its guidelines. The FDA’s directives discourage the use of celebrities in the promotion of alcoholic beverages via any medium. This policy forms part of efforts by government to ensure that minors are protected from being lured into alcoholism. But this, according to the plaintiff, does not augur well for the entertainment industry and robs them of potential streams of income. In the writ issued on November 11, the plaintiff, Mark Darlington Osae said those areas of the FDA’s 2015 regulations are tantamount to discrimination on grounds of economic status, and occupation among others. The artiste manager and music publisher is therefore praying the Supreme Court to render as unconstitutional the guidelines which stipulate that, “No well-known personality or professional shall be used in alcoholic beverage advertising.” The plaintiff says it is inconsistent with ...

  I have critically read, the response from Gyankroma Akuffo Addo with regards to some news stories which allegedly said she has been awarded a $25million dollar contract to paint the city of Accra.   I have some observations and critical questions begging clarity from her end.  1-  The first paragraph of her statement mentioned that in August 2018, "Arts For All" was conceived  and that each of the project was paid with funds largely from private sector and sourced solely by Creative Arts Agency.   -  Question: Whose prime idea was/is “Arts For All” which was conceived in August 2018 . -  During 2017/18 the only existing council set up by the ministry of Tourism Arts & Culture was CREATIVE ARTS COUNCIL. Which had a three member committee of which Gyankroma Akuffo Addo was Director while Mark Okraku Mantey was the President. To the best of my knowledge, (l stand to be corrected)they had no project conceived as “Arts for All” - Gyankr...

My ticket said 8pm so l left home at 8:20pm with the message that I'll be back the next day so nobody should bother staying up for me. I got to Silver Towers around 8:45pm expecting the show to start at 10pm Ghanaman time. To my surprise the show had started already with interviews and yo! the Black Carpet was solidly looking Masculine with those mannequins. Wow Merqury Quaye en eye open brutal. Got to the entrance with my Crew and was ushered into the VIP session and trust me the place was already full including the regular. Fortunately, we located a cocktail session and that was our spot for the rest of the night. Andy Dosty II was the MC and Matilda Hipsy was the Co Host. Charlie... Hmmm, no Comment on the Hypnotizing Hips. The stage, light and sound were on point with less or zero technical hitches pr...
