Ever wondered who’d win in a fist fight between Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson and Vin Diesel? Well, UFC fighter Tyron Woodley would be putting his money on The Rock – regardless of whether their long-rumoured beef is the real deal. While appearing at the Hollywood premiere of Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 2, Woodley recounted a hypothetical conversation with Diesel on the topic – which left the xXx star feeling pretty peeved indeed. ‘Vin Diesel yelled at me yesterday at the party because I said in a fight versus him and The Rock, I gave it to The Rock,’ Woodley told TMZ Sports . ‘So he pulled up on me. Not in a violent way but he said “c’mon man, I would flex on The Rock”.’ When the speechless TMZ hosts agreed that Diesel would beat The Rock hands down, Woodley replied: ‘And he said he would flex on The Rock. I’m starting trash, I’m starting trash!’ The presenters also touched on the fact The F...

A cocktail of adrenaline-infused biking and abseiling adventures earmarked the launch of the National Biking & Abseil Festival at the start of the Easter holidays at the Shai Hills Reserve near Doryumu in the Shai Osudoku District of the Greater Accra Region. The partnership between the Wildlife Division of the Forestry Commission of Ghana and BraveHearts Expeditions, West Africa’s leading adventure tourism firm unveiled, for the first time in a protected area in all of West Africa, saw series of adventure activities that enabled participants to bike a total distance of 17.8km through the Park.

Speaking at the launch of the festival, Mr. John Allotey,...

Nigerian female pop star, Tiwa Savage’s estranged husband Tunji Balogun, popularly known as Teebillz, has expressed his regrets. Teebillz revealed that if he could turn back the hands of time, he would not do an elaborate wedding. He said the belief that men should always dominate every aspect of the marriage was incorrect. Teebillz was speaking as a panelist at “Mind the Gap X”, a love and relationship class for single, married and divorced people organised by Pastor Wale Adefarasin and life coach, Lanre Olusola. According to him, “If I have the chance of doing my marriage over again, l will put God first and not have an elaborate wedding. “It’s the 21st century and as men, most of us want to live like we are the lords of the marriage. “You’re a partner. It’s about our weaknesses, we’re here to help each other.” Teebillz further advised men to be more concerned about communication, understanding in the marriage instead of being selfish.

The President of the Northern Ghana Union of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church has called for a national discourse on the exploitation of the vulnerable in the name of religion. Pastor Kwame Kwanin Boakye advocates severe punishment for people whose activities breach the laws of the state to serve as a deterrent. He says the growing tendency for some pastors to hide behind the cassock to amass wealth and perpetrate sexual and other forms of abuse against the citizenry must stop. According to Pastor Kwanin, the modern self-seeking minister of the gospel has instituted a system which lures and preys on church members into accepting deceit for prophecy. Some pastors, he notes are even resorting to occultism to dupe their own congregation. Pastor Kwanin Boakye says Ghanaians must be concerned about the present state of the church. “I’m much worried about how people are abusing themselves in the ministry because of wealth; because of sex and because of power...Christ must be internalized i...

Many NDC bigwigs are blaming former President John Mahama for the defeat the party suffered in the 2016 general elections, but former Member of Parliament for the Akwatia Constituency in the Eastern Region has begged to differ. According to him, the defeat the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) experienced in the 2016 elections was a collective failure of all party officials including himself as certain policies they implemented pushed the NDC into opposition. Speaking on Okay FM’s 'Ade Akye Abia' Morning Show, Baba Jamal disclosed that policies like scrapping teacher and nursing trainees allowances in an election year brought the downfall of the party. He again stated that the defeat of the NDC was largely caused by the increase in the Electoral College during the party’s primaries as it brought disunity into the party. “I realised that our primaries caused our defeat due to the disintegration it brought. The mode of selecting Parliamentary Candidates was wrong an...
