The Berekusu Basic School is celebrating 130 years of existence after the Presbyterian Missionaries established it in 1886.

The school’s population currently stands at seven hundred and sixty-six (766) but lacks many amenities which makes one wonder if it is indeed 130 years old.

The headmistress of Berekusu Basic School, Margaret Woyuhintum speaking during the 130th anniversary of the school said the school has no library and no computer lab.

She revealed further that the most unfortunate part is that the B stream has lessons under trees and canopies, adding that there is no teacher’s common room.

The Chief of Berekuso, Nana Oteng Korankye II during his speech at the event warned encroachers of Berekuso Basic School land to stop or face his wrath. He noted that the school land is for expansion and development for the pupils as well as the Secondary school yet to be built.

Nana Oteng Korankye said it is an honour for the town to have been able to maintain the school for such a …

Former President JJ Rawlings was a bully when he was in school, his wife and classmate has revealed.

According to Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings, the man who later became her husband, was a guy who bullied his way through, during their days in school.

“We were in the same class.. And I hate to say it but he was a bully,” the NDP flagbearer told Bola Ray on Starr Chat on Starr 103.5 FM.

She added that she has been by the side of the former military leader for many years because she loves him for who he is and not his personality or status in life.

“There are three types of women on earth. The ones who love for the sake of love; like me, the ones who will love you because you have a position, and the ones who will love you because you have some money. They come and you don’t have the money, they are gone, they come and your power is finished, they are gone.”

The 31st December Women’s Movement founder also noted that she is contesting the presidency again because the foundation f…

The Outreach Director for the Conservative Party in the United Kingdom, Colin Bloom should mind his own business and focus on the challenges confronting the Conservative party and how to fix those challenges, Hanna Tetteh, Ghana’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration has said.

Mr Bloom appeared to have incurred the wrath of Ms Tetteh following his public statement to the effect that Ghana needs to change government ahead of this year’s elections and that the people of Ghana deserved better.

Speaking at the International Young Democrat Union (IYDU) ‘Freedom Forum’ organised by the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) in Accra last week, Mr Bloom said : “Those of us in the Conservative Party, we can choose where in the world we work; we can work in the Caribbean, we can work in Latin America, we can work in Europe, we can work in Africa…we choose to work in Ghana because we believe in the man [Nana Akufo-Addo] who is going to speak to you next; we believe he i…

A female presenter at TV3, Bridget Otoo has indicated that she does not have qualms with colleague and co-host of “New Day”, Moon Sangmoor.

The vibrant news anchor and host of 'New Day' on TV3, Bridget Otoo's attention was drawn to a palpably 'false' publication by one of Ghana's top bloggers - Ameyaw Debrah, which states that Bridget has been taken off TV3’s morning show - 'New Day' due to “disciplinary issues”.

Miss Bridget said the unsubstantiated claims in the publications were malicious, deliberately orchestrated and calculated to hurt and tarnish her professional image.

She said the publucation is a gross disrespect to the ethics of journalism and truthful reporting.

Bridget is someone, who is down-to-earth to everyone; she can smile or laugh 24/7. She loves what she does and makes sure it in a professional way. Those who know her know she cannot do anything like that.

But it’s so sad some people want to see hardworking and vibrant Bridget Oto…

The director of the 1978 Vietnam War film The Deer Hunter has died, his friend and former lawyer has confirmed.

Double Oscar winner Michael Cimino's body was found at his Los Angeles home on Saturday, Eric Weissmann said.

Cimino, 77, who directed a total of eight films, will be remembered for a career of highs and lows.

While The Deer Hunter has been hailed as one of the best movies in Hollywood history, his next project, Heaven's Gate, was derided as a flop.

Mr Weissmann said Cimino's body was found after friends had been unable to contact him. No cause of death has yet been determined.

The Deer Hunter with its famous Russian roulette scene starred Robert de Niro and Christopher Walken and won five Oscars including the award for the best film in 1979.

It chronicles the lives of a group of friends from a Pennsylvania town and the devastating effect of the Vietnam War, both on those who fought in it and those who stayed at home in small-town America.

Ghanaian high life musician Dada Kwaku Dua popularly known as Dada K.D has accused the CEO of both the EIB Network and Empire Group of Companies, Nathan Kwabena Adisi aka Bola Ray of collapsing high life music in Ghana.

Dada K.D speaking with D.J Sly on Ark Fm’s Party Groove on Friday said Bola Ray has succeeded in killing high life music with his Ghana Meets Naija Concert.

“Pairing of Ghanaian hip-pop musicians against High life musicians from Nigeria is not the best at all. They will always beat their Ghanaian counterparts. Bola Ray doesn’t know what he is doing and he is killing high life,” he said.

Speaking about his MIA in the Ghanaian music scene, Dada K.D said: “I have been travelling and coming back into the country since 1997. I have executed the job and I’m yet to complete it totally. I’m still doing active music though I haven’t got enough time to play live shows in the country. I did a gospel music in 2011 which was followed by remixes of some of my songs. Ohemaa…

Praying for God’s blessings for the NPP flagbearer, Osabarima Agyeman Boasia II, explained that Ghana finds herself in severe pain, and is in dire need of a “Joshua” to take her to the “Promised Land.”

“Ghana is in pain. When Moses died, God chose Joshua and told him ‘Be strong and courageous’. These were the two words God told Joshua. It is these same words I am also telling Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, so he can lead us through the Red Sea to the Promised Land,” he said.

According to the Chief of Boso, the grim situation his town finds herself in under the leadership of President Mahama is akin to that of the entire country.

“I would have wished you had come here during the day to see the deplorable nature in which the town roads of Boso a…
