ASANTE KOTOKO SC BEHEAD COTTON SPORTS GAROUA.

Kum apem a apem bɛba is their appellation.

Kumasi Asante Kotoko's performance during the JAK cup match against ASHGOLD was not encouraging. In view of this, many football fanatics were in doubt as to whether the team can do something better against the Cameroonian side, Cotton Sports Garoua in the Total CAF Confederation Cup.

Prior to the actual match,  the captain of the team, Amos Frimpong assured the fans never to lose hope but must  pray for the team for something better on the field of play. The Coach, C.K Akunnor put his tactics in place and his input was incredibly phenomenal.

Felix Annan, Augustine Sefah, Agyemang-Badu, Abdul Ganiyu,Amos Frimpong, Kwame Bonsu(Conte), Fatawu,Senanu, Emmanuel Gyamfi, Maxwell Baakoh and Sogne Yacouba were the starting lineup for Kotoko.

The players put up a scintillating performance on the field of play with a high level of tactical competence. Emmanuel Gyamfi registered the first goal for the team on the 10th minute. This boosted their morale and were able to maintain the pace.  Maxwell Baakoh on the other hand, powerfully added another magnificent goal to the scoreline.


One would have thought that, the Home team, Cotton Sports could come back to equalize and add more goals. Fortunately for Kotoko, another goal was registered in the early part of the second half and the match finally ended 3:2 in favour of ASANTE KOTOKO SPORTING CLUB.

Faaaaaaabulous!

EGYPT TO HOST AFCON 2019

Egypt will host the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations, the Confederation of African Football (CAF) has announced. Egypt beat South Africa, the only other nation to bid, by 16 votes to one with one abstention at a CAF executive committee vote in Senegal.

Original host nation Cameroon was stripped of staging duties in November because of slow preparations.
Egypt has barely six months to prepare for the expanded 24-team finals, which kick off in June. It will be the fifth time Egypt, which won the tournament when it last hosted in 2006, has staged the tournament.


"I want to thank the (CAF) Executive Committee for the trust, and I thank the government for this support," said Egypt FA (EFA) President Hany Abu Rida.

"We organised the tournament on 2006 and that made us against a challenge to make better and better, we are ready for this honour."

"The guarantee from government helped us to win against South Africa and that will help us to make a good tournament," added Ahmed Shobair, vice-president of Egypt's FA.


Egypt will use eight stadia during the tournament, hosting in five different cities: Alexandria, Ismailia, Port Said, Suez and the capital Cairo. CAF had originally planned to name the new hosts on Wednesday 9 January.

Since stripping Cameroon off this year's event, CAF has offered the country the chance to stage the finals in two years' time, which has meant that the original hosts for both the 2021 and 2023 finals have been asked to delay their tournaments.


Ivory Coast, which was set to host the 2021, has protested against the decision at the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
Guinea's football federation announced on Monday that it has agreed to move its staging of the Nations Cup from 2023 to 2025.


Tuesday's announcement took place in the Senegalese capital Dakar. Egypt's Mohamed Salah is looking to retain his title as he takes on Gabon's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Senegal's Sadio Mane for the African Player of the Year award.

SOME MAHAMA'S APPOINTEES ARE IN 'HOT WATER'.

Some thirteen (13) Ghanaians have petitioned the office of the Special Prosecutor Martin Amidu to investigate a report of alleged thievery of state resources by former appointees of then-President John Mahama, MyNewsGh.com has filed. 

The Mahama officials named include Mr Kwadwo Twum-Boafo of the Freezones Board, Mr George Ben-Crenstsil of the Ghana Standards Authority, Mr Kingsley Kwame Awuah-Darko of BOST, Sedina A. Tamakloe of MASLOC, Kakra Essamuah of BOST among others. 

According to the 13 petitioners, about $176million were embezzled by these officials combined and they are appalled by the seeming silence and lack of action by Mr Amidu on some of the cases submitted to him so far, as nothing has been heard from his outfit. 

The list of thirteen which includes lawyers aligned to the ruling NPP include: Sefah Ato Welbeck, Frank Afrifa (Esq), Kyei Baffour (Esq), Francis Odei Ansah, Michael Otu Addo, Philip Kumi, Rita Pokuaa, Felix Tenkorang, Michael Tepre, Elliot Awuku, Theophilus A. Larbi, Robert Osei Bonsu and Stephen Obikyenbi Junior.

Probe Forensic Audit Report (2018), and Auditor General’s Report (2010-2016) 

Your Lordship 

Martin Amidu (Esq) 

Office of the Special Prosecutor 

Cantonments, Accra 

Dear Sir, 

REQUEST FOR PROBE INTO THE FORENSIC AUDIT REPORTS OF STATE INSTITUTIONS (2018) AND AUDITOR GENERAL’S REPORT (2010-2016) 
Before your assumption as the Special Prosecutor in April, Ghanaians would always go to bed on empty stomachs that yearn for justice. But, upon your assumption of office–although we are still hungry–there is the hope that we will soon enjoy justice at the end of the tunnel. As Ghanaian Citizens, we have every right as enshrined in the 1992 constitution to demand probity and accountability from state officials. And this can only be possible when it is done through outfits with prosecutorial/adjudicatory powers like the Office of-of the Special Prosecutor. 

In summary, the Act (Special Prosecutor Act, 2017 (Act 959)) which establishes your office mandates you to investigate and prosecute alleged corruption offences, recover the proceeds of corruption and take steps to prevent corruption. However, close to ten (10) months since the coming into force of the OSP we have little or nothing to boast about as Ghanaians. There have been little steps and initiatives so far taken to forestall doom on enemies of the state. Today; 

Many Ghanaians seem disappointed and devastated for the fact that, they had waited on justice from the OSP for quite too long yet they have seen nothing.

TweetTgThe 

Gospel Artiste, Joyce Blessing has parted ways with Zylofon Music label.

The award-winning songstress who in 2017 signed a four-year contract with the label which has not ended yet, said for an obvious reason known to the top managers at Zylofon, all artiste managers at the music label have been asked to resign from all their positions.

According to the, ‘Unbreakable ’ hit singer, her husband, Dave Joy has taken full charge of music work which was previously done by Zylofon Music.

Joyce Blessing who is the only signed gospel musician under Zylofon Music Record Label disclosed on Rainbow Radio’s 'Away Bus show' that several workers at the label have been asked to proceed on leave with no reasons assigned.

She further indicated that signing on to Zylofon Music has been unfortunate for her career since she did everything on her own without support from the label.

Efforts to reach top managers of Zylofon Music company to ascertain the truth have proven futile .

REV. OWUSU ESCAPES DEATH OVER DOOM PROPHECY.

On Wednesday 2nd January, 2019 afternoon, a group of youngsters attacked the Odorkor branch of the Glorious Word Power Ministry International, where Rev. Isaac Owusu Bempah happens to be the Head Pastor.

The mob action was influenced by Rev. Owusu Bempa's Prophecy on the New Year's eve. He predicted on the death of some prominent personalities in this country(Ghana). The prophecy was that, some Ghanaian leaders including the Chief Imam, Sheikh Nuhu Shaributu will be called to eternity before the year 2019 ends. This became as a shocking news to Ghanaians.

The group furiously visited the church on Wednesday demanding the Prophet to come out and retract the 'doom prophecy' and apologize to their Eminent leader and the entire Muslim Community as well.
