Information reaching massiveupdates.com indicates that the three kidnapped Takoradi girls have been rescued and seeking medical treatment at a 'secret' health facility in Accra.

The girls, Ruth Quayson, Priscilla Blessing Bentum and Priscilla Koranchie are believed to have been kidnapped between August 2018 and January 2019.

The main suspect in the kidnapping case, Sam Udoetuk Wills, is currently before a court after he escaped jail in December 2018 following his first arrest.

Some groups have held protests and also petitioned the President and the Sekondi Regional Coordinating Council over the case.

The CID boss received public bashing for delaying in rescuing the girls.

We will bring you more updates on this issue.

"Where Are We Taking The Twi To" - Sidney Schools Okyeame Kwame On French As 2nd Official Language

Hip life rapper Barima Sidney who always speaks his mind freely on political issues has congratulated president Akufo-Addo and his government for thinking of making French a second official language for Ghana.


Though some celebrities are against the motion, Barima Sidney has thrown his full support behind the government in a recent interview on Radio Central with Amansan Krakye.




"That move is a step in a right direction. Because we are surrounded by Francophone countries, Ivory Coast, Burkina Faso and Togo.


One thing I have realized is they are able to learn the English small and it seems we are forcing our language on them. They learn ours but we can't learn theirs. So we have to learn sake of those surrounding us, Ghana we are not an island, where are we taking the Twi to, it's just for here. So far as we are not an island and we travel outside we have to learn.


We used to learn French in those days so if it's now going to be official, I think it's a step in a right direction. Kudos to Akufo-Addo and his government. Ghana we are not an island, we interact with other countries so we need to learn. I'm very happy something like this is going to happen", he revealed.





When the news broke out that French is going to be used as 2nd official language many people spoke against it and suggested that local language should be used. Okyeame Kwame was part of the celebrities that spoke against the agenda but eShun, Barima Sidney and others also think otherwise.

Adwoa Sarfo Plead To President Nana Akufo Addo to Buy ‘Kantanka Vehicle’

Adwoa Sarfo has challenged President Akufo-Addo to purchase the special customised four wheel drive vehicles manufactured by her father’s company; the Kantanka Automobile Company.

The Asantehene Otumfuo Nana Osei Tutu II purchased three cars from the aforementioned company. The first of the purchased cars were delivered to him at Manhyia Palace.

Taking delivery of one of the vehicles from the company under Apostle Kwadwo Sarfo of the Kristo Asafo Mission of Ghana in Kumasi on Wednesday, the Asantehene advised government to promote the local industry.

He said if it was possible, Ghana should avoid the importation of cars from outside the country and rather help promote and market the local Kantanka cars.

The remaining two of the vehicles, each costing GH ¢150,000 ordered by the Asantehene according to graphic.com.gh report would be delivered soon.

He said the brand of vehicles manufactured the Kantanka Automobile Company could match-up to any brand in the world.

He said the vehicle under the brand ‘Kantanka Otumfuo’ was his way of encouraging the Apostle and to rally Ghanaians and indeed, the government to patronise the product.

The vehicle is only one of many innovations and inventions the industrialist cum the preacherman has produced in recent times.

The CEO of the Kantanka Group of companies, M. Kwadwo Sarfo Jnr, said the company has instituted measures to replace and repair the vehicle per international standards.

He expressed the hope that Otumfuo’s endorsement would help promote the use of the Kantanka vehicle and make it attractive to Ghanaians to patronise.

Meanwhile, in a post on social media, the daughter of Apostle Kwadwo Sarfo; Adwoa Sarfo encouraged Ghanaians to follow in the King’s stead and purchase more made in Ghana goods, adding that the President was next.

Is Tanasha Donna and Diamond Platnumz expecting their first child together? (Photo)

Word making rounds on social media is that Tanansha Donna’s baby bump and pregnancy hormones have started showing. Apparently she is currently 4 months pregnant but so far we cannot confirm whether this is true or not.

However, a few days ago Tanansha was spotted shopping around with her in laws and judging from the photos making rounds on social media; the lady appears to have added some weight and if I’m not wrong her nose is also getting puffy.

It could be that she is eating well hence the weight or this could be one of those pregnancy signs women experience in the first and second trimester.

So far we have seen Mama Dangote and the rest of her family members embracing Tanasha now that she is with Diamond Platnumz.

Anyway check out the photo making rounds on social media below.


Zylofon Music Hasn't Spent A "Kobo" On My Current Projects - Joyce Blessing

Gospel singer Joyce Blessing has revealed that Zylofon Music is no more sponsoring her music career though she is still under the label.


According to the "Di Asa" singer in an interview with Amansan Krakye on Radio Central, her contract with Zylofon Music hasn't ended but financing of her current projects are done by Dave Joy Production headed by her husband.


"It's a 4 year contract so it hasn't ended yet. But now Dave Joy production is financing everything I do but the Zylofon Music contract is also there", she revealed.


She also revealed that no official statement has been made that she has left the label because of the contract is for 4 years.


"It's a 4 year contract and NAM1 hasn't said it anywhere that he is no more working with Joyce Blessing and I haven't also said it anywhere that I've left Zylofon Music. In Ghana people are allowed to say whatever they want so it's one of those things.


Zylofon encountered crisis and it can happen to anyone so if the boss is not around we have to work. I'm sure when he comes today he will be proud of us", she added.

Former British High Commissioner, Jon Benjamin has fired some subtle shot at Ghana’s number one Prophet and miracle initiating man, Angel Bishop Obinim.

Jon Benjamin who seemed to have visited a zoo captioned a photo of a snake with; ‘I had no idea that “Angel” Obinim was also visiting the zoo today.

Drama As Snakes Chase Liberian President Out Of Office

Snakes have chased Liberian President, George Weah out of office.

A snake was found in Weah’s office, forcing him to work from his private residence, according to the BBC.

The President’s Press Secretary, Smith Toby told the BBC that on Wednesday two black snakes were found in the foreign affairs ministry building, site of the official office.

All staff have been told to stay away until 22 April.

“It’s just to make sure that crawling and creeping things get fumigated from the building,” Mr Toby said.

“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs hosts the office of the president, so it did an internal memo asking the staff to stay home while they do the fumigation,” he said.

“The snakes were never killed,” Mr. Toby said, “There was a little hole somewhere [through which] they made their way back.”

Police and presidential security were seen guarding Weah’s residence in the capital, Monrovia. A fleet of vehicles including escorts jeeps were parked outside.

Mr. Toby said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs started to fumigate on Friday.

“That building’s been there for years now, and [because of] the drainage system, the possibility of having things like snakes crawling in that building was high,” he said.

The president is definitely returning to his office on Monday after the fumigation whether or not the snakes are found and killed, Mr. Toby said.

I Didn't Betray NAM1 - Joyce Blessing Reveals

Gospel singer Joyce Blessing is telling critics that she is not hypocrite and she never betrayed her boss Nana Appiah Mensah a.k.a NAM.


Many industry players didn't sympathize with NAM1'S on Menzgold saga and Dubai arrest and bashed him for frauding Ghanaians but when news broke that NAM1 has won his Dubai case everyone started congratulating him.


Responding to this, Joyce Blessing who is a signee of Zylofon Music told Amansan Krakye on Radio Central that she has always stood by NAM1 so those calling her hypocrite should give her a break.


According to the "Repent" singer, though Zylofon Music is no more financing her projects, she never stopped using their logo.


"They have to go back to check if I separated myself from NAM1 related issues. All the songs I have been releasing are sponsored by Dave Joy production but you can see Zylofon logo in it. In all my videos I have been endorsing Zylofon Music in it so I don't know why people will say I betrayed NAM1. Maybe they don't know so I'm telling them to go and check and see if I'm being hypocrite", she bemoaned.


She also revealed that no official statement has been made that she has left the label so the 4 years contract is still pending.


"It's a 4 year contract and NAM1 hasn't said it anywhere that he is no more working with Joyce Blessing and I haven't also said it anywhere that I've left Zylofon Music. In Ghana people are allowed to say whatever they want so it's one of those things.


Zylofon encountered crisis and it can happen to anyone so if the boss is not around we have to work. I'm sure when he comes today he will be proud of us", she added.

Lady narrates how she almost died because of birth control

A lady has narrated how not wanting to get pregnant almost made her lose her life because she was on birth control.

In a post she shared on Instagram, she said she first noticed complications when she bled for a month during her period which is unusual. Paying a doctor a visit led to further complications.

She shared:
"My Birth control almost killed me literally. So boom story time…. since March 3 I was on my period and didn’t stop bleeding until April 6th, that never happened to me so I made a doctors appointment to figure out why I was bleeding so heavy. Turns out my IUD moved out of my uterus. So yesterday Monday the 8th I got my IUD taken out and they replaced it with a new one. But my body rejected the first one, so my smart self should have thought more before trying to put another one in there. So like 25 min go by I get home and I started vomiting viciously I was having hot flashes, passing out. I went back to the emergency room Monday night around 7pm and they said the new IUD was being pushed out my uterus what the hell I had to stay in the hospital to make sure my uterus didn’t get infected! I was in excruciating pain and this post is not for sympathy it is honestly to educate all my ladies out there all these hormones are unnatural and could be fatal. I literally almost lost my life just because I didn’t wanna end up pregnant. Now I’m moving forward and going #birthcontrolfree I refuse to be a victim. Now I’m going to play it safe and take better care of my body nothing unnatural is going in me ever again. Ladies please educate yourself about the birth control you are using I don’t want you to go through this !!"

85-year-old man narrates how he got infected with HIV,says it is a blessing in disguise

An eighty five year old man has revealed how he got infected with HIV, after his wife’s death.

According to the man identified as Robert Ticharwa Maruta, who described his status as a blessing in disguise, he got promiscuous after his wife died in 2000 and was diagnosed with HIV in 2008.

However, he has used his status to warn the youths about HIV and AIDS as a voluntary advocate.

‘My wife passed on in 2000 and left me 100 percent healthy at 66 years old. However, I failed to be a decent grandfather and started picking township girls, that’s how I got HIV. I even remember from who exactly,” said Sekuru Samba.

‘Let us be decent when our partners die. God will guide us through. “Now, as a grandfather at 84 years old, I am voluntarily footing across Hwedza villages, educating all ages on HIV and AIDS.

Sekuru Samba said it is his advocacy mission that has given him a new purpose in life.

‘I am HIV positive but I have welcomed it as a blessing in disguise because I am now a tried and tested HIV awareness voluntary advocate. And it feels like I’m serving a purpose.

‘Imagine, my mother, Mbuya VaEnia Nyakatanga Dapi and my father Ticharwa Maruta gave birth to me as a healthy Robert in 1934. Then later I got married to my healthy wife, Kirianah Rwizi Kwari from Mhondoro, Rwizi.

We were blessed with two boys Vincent and Tawanda and four girls Yeukai, Anna and the late girls Norma and Tarisai Maruta. We were all healthy and that is what life should be. If people avoid sex before marriage or use protection when they have sex, we will have a healthy population. That is my message to my community.


Women who scream God’s name during s3x will end up in hell – Prophet Kumchacha

Controversial man of God, Prophet Kumchacha has shockingly revealed that any woman who screams the name of God or Jesus Christ when having s3x will end up in hell.

Prophet Kumchacha who is the leader and founder of Heaven’s Gate Ministry has said that, whether the woman is making love with her husband or boyfriend, once the person screams the name of Jesus Christ during the act, she will not miss hell.

“Whether you are making the love with your husband or your boyfriend, once you scream the name of Jesus Christ while in the act there is no way you will not go to hell”, he revealed during a live television discussion on UTV.

According to him, specially trained angels will subject you to all forms of severe beatings on judgment day before throwing you into hell because shouting the name Jesus Christ and Holy Spirit under such instances constitutes a grievous punishable by being thrown into hell.

“God is not his personal property it is the omnipresent God we all know. Read Exodus 21:1-7 it says you should not mention the name of God in vain. So while being romanced if you are mentioning the name like that you commit a big sin. If care is not taken you could be flogged one day by invisible hands while in the act”, he added.

Some Artistes Dissed Me To Get Attention To Revive Their Dying Careers - Obour

Outgoing MUSIGA president, Obour has accused his critics of being attention seekers.


Obour has been bashed and criticized by both underground and mainstream artists for allegedly squandering money of the union.


Reacting to these rumours in an Interview with Amansan Krakye on Radio Central, he blamed these artistes for not making enquiries before talking and also called them attention seekers.


"People are not patient and don't make enquiries before they talk. Some too did that because they wanted attention. Sometimes they want the media to talk about them in order to be relevant. So everyone has his reason for saying that but we are not bothered because we are doing a good job", he said.


When asked whether he is bothered with these accusations he said;


"When you get a position, you have to be patient about these things. Even Jesus Christ was bashed and criticized, I'm not better than Jesus for me to be bothered. So I just pay a deaf ear and ignore those things".

Beautiful Nigerian Triplets steal all Attention from Social Media With Their Pictures

Popular Nigerian triplets on Instagram, Tomisin, Tomiwa and Toni are celebrating their birthday and they have decided to share with the world the story behind their birth.


In their narration, they termed themselves as the miraculous Nigerian triplets because their parents were actually expecting to give birth to twins, but the trio came unexpectedly.

Read their story below:

“Let me tell you a quick story about our birth.I’m sure you guys won’t expect this lmao
So according to my mum,when she was pregnant she was expecting just one child,just a child.But later on,she started getting bigger than usual then she got worried and decided to go to the hospital for a scan but it kept on showing that she was pregnant with just a child.


She would go to the hospital twice almost every week because she was so concerned about the size of the pregnancy since she was having just a child.


So About five months later(Ikr,that’s a long time)she went back to the hospital and they finally told her she was pregnant with twins,she was so surprised and at the same time relieved that the babies were fine.
So,she started buying two pairs of everything,same shoes,same clothes and all.


Then when she was due which was eight month three days(multiple births don’t actually stay till the usual nine months,most of them)she went to the hospital and then the doctor told her she was going to deliver her babies(twins)through cs.

After some hours they finally got the twins out(Tomisin and Tomiwa)but according to my mum when the doctor was about closing up they noticed a movement and they were concerned,thinking something went wrong they had to undo the stitches,and then it turned out that they found another baby(Toni)


What would you do if you found out you were originally meant to give birth to twins but then it turned out you gave birth to triplets?lmao


When my mum regained consciousness,the doctor told the nurses to bring in the triplets,my mum thought she heard wrong so she asked “what triplets ?”then they explained the whole thing to her and she was filled with joy and was having mixed emotions.Who wouldn’t?

So there wasn’t any clothe for Toni(the last child)they quickly had to get a substitute till they went to buy her stuff,ours actually because we had to wear the same thing.
So why Toni and I look more alike is because we shared the same placenta and Tomisin had hers.” Happy birthday @.tomiwa. @toni.xox_ @thomisin_ ❤❤❤❤#triplets #beauty #birthdaygirls

BREAKING: Canada will accept 300,000 New Immigrants

According to the Minister of Immigration of Canada, in the year 2018, the nation will welcome at least as many new immigrants as it was expected this year. In the CBC radio show named The House, the comment of the Minister came just before the government is thought to be publishing its Immigration Levels Plan for the year 2018.

“Our new normal is three hundred thousand,” Hussen said. “It is not only because of the need to meet the demands of Canadian families who wanted to rejoin with their close ones, that as a government we went from 260,000 to 300,000, but also because of the employers who want us to allow them to use immigrants more so that they can meet their growth needs.”

 

Earlier this year, Minister Hussen had said that the annual target of 300,000 new immigrants is just the base figure for the coming years. He also confirmed that below this figure, the levels of immigration in Canada will not go down. There have been 320,932 new arrivals in Canada between July 2015 and July 2016. For the year 2017, the target has been set at 300,000.

Minister Hussen, at a conference on June 10, 2017, reaffirmed that they will always welcome new immigrants and will work towards making the process of obtaining Canadian citizenship much easier. “We want more permanents residents – in fact, we want all permanent residents, if possible – to be Canadians” he added.



The economic immigration system of Canada has now become a demand-based model, named Express Entry. Here, the government first invites the eligible candidates to apply for permanent citizenship, using a comprehensive ranking system. The candidates then get 90 days to apply for the same. Here the aim of the government is to process most of the applications within a period of six months.

There is a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) through which other economic migrants will get to settle. Or, they can be admitted so that they can settle in the province of Quebec. As business immigrants, they will be provided with a number.

Canada has Family Class Programs through which the families in the country will get to be reunited with their loved ones. Not to mention, it is through its refugee resettlement programs that the Canadian government will continue to uphold its tradition of providing citizenship to those who are in need.

Woman, 31, with a rare condition that makes her skin look like FISH SCALES says she is grateful to be her

A woman who was born with a rare condition that causes her skin to appear thick and scaly has credited her self-confidence to the positive affirmations her mother made her say in front of the mirror.

When fitness instructor Brittany Mickens, 31, from Fredericksburg, Virginia, was born, she was rushed to a nearby children's hospital because doctors didn't know what was wrong with her skin, and her family was told she wouldn't live past the age of one.

As Brittany grew up, her skin grew thick, dry and scaly, but doctors dismissed this as an extreme case of eczema, prescribing her strong creams to treat her skin, which would only work for a few weeks at a time before her skin reverted to the condition it was in before.

'I was misdiagnosed as a child and was told that I had really bad eczema,' Brittany explained.

When I was first born I was rushed to a nearby children's hospital in Washington, D.C. because they didn't know what was wrong with me, and eventually was told I wouldn't live past a year.'

Support: Brittany credits her mother, Wanda, for encouraging her to have confidence and love herself growing up

Growing up, people would stare at Brittany and notice that her skin appeared different to theirs.

'I would get a few stares, but it was rare that anyone would say anything to me about my skin. I didn't feel any different, but I knew I was different.'

But thanks to her mother, Wanda, who instilled a strong sense of self-love in her by getting her to repeat positive affirmations in the mirror, Brittany has learned to love herself for who she is.

'My mother made sure that I accepted myself and I was proud to be who I was,' she said.

'She would often make me look in the mirror and repeat, "I love you, you are beautiful," over and over again. And one day I finally realized what she was doing, and I am so grateful for her making me do that.

'She was extremely important, if it weren't for her constantly instilling positive affirmations in me, I wouldn't be as confident as I am. She never let me dwell on the fact that I was different.'





Condition: When Brittany was 18 years old, a dermatologist officially diagnosed her with a rare skin condition called ichthyosis

It wasn't until Brittany started university at age 18 and went to a new dermatologist that she was diagnosed with ichthyosis, a condition that causes widespread and persistent thick, dry, 'fish scale' skin.

According to Mayo Clinic, the condition is caused by a genetic mutation that has been inherited from one or both parents.

A permanent cure has not yet been found for the skin condition, and the available treatments focus solely on controlling it.

However, the diagnosis allowed Brittany to finally understand why prescribed creams and medicines never worked on her skin before.

After visiting the dermatologist eight times a year for 25 years, Brittany was fed up of putting chemicals on her skin for them to work and then eventually stop working.

Therefore, she has opted for a natural approach to her skin care, which involves using natural shea butter with essential oils, gold bond ultimate radiance renewal and cocoa butter Vaseline after a shower.

She also began using Jamaican black castor oil on her skin at night.

'When I went to college and found a new dermatologist, that's when I found out that I had ichthyosis. Because I had the wrong diagnosis all of the medicines that were prescribed to me only worked for a few weeks,' she explained.

Brittany said that growing up with the condition was tough, but her mother, Wanda, helped build her up by regularly reminding her that she looked beautiful.

'I sometimes get stared at and asked different questions, but I don't let it consume my day. Most of the time I forget that I have ichthyosis,' she said.

There are at least 20 different types of ichthyosis and there is no cure for any of the variations of the condition.

However, moisturizing and exfoliating the skin on a daily basis can help prevent dryness, scaling and build-up of skin cells.

Brittany makes sure she keeps her skin well moisturized at all times to prevent it from becoming painful, and she has to be especially careful in the winter as the cold weather can make her skin worse.

'I absolutely love me some me. I am grateful to be me. The way I feel about myself keeps my attitude positive and want to inspire others.

'To others, I would say always love yourself and you were chosen to deal with this for a reason; it's all in how you deal with it. Perspective is key, always remain positive and it's best to work on your heart first.

'The journey is not always easy, but you're here, so do it with a smile,' she added.
