Personnel who were engaged in the Nation Builders Corps have taken over social media platform Twitter and are agitating over what they describe as a “scam” by the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP).

The Graduates numbering 100,000 were deployed to various Government agencies and were expected to stay employed for three years after which they...

Gospel Musician Ernest Opoku has described Brother Sammy as the world’s biggest liar you can ever come across. According to him, Brother Sammy will say anything just to “trend” and therefore should not be taken seriously by serious minds in the country. His comment comes on the back of Brother Sammy’s claim that he trained him Ernest Opoku but because he (Ernest Opoku) was able to come out and be accepted as a musician, he does not accord him the needed respect. Ernest Opoku who was speaking on Accra-based Utv said he came out in 2005 long before Brother Sammy was able to make the limelight and therefore it’s shocking that he will say he is his “boy”. To him, “most of the things Brother Sammy says are lies. He just says them to trend. I came out in 2005 way before him so what makes me his boy. He is playful and should not be taken seriously with some of his utterances”. Source: MyNewsGh.com / 2021 The post Playful Brother Sammy passes as the world’s biggest liar – Ernest Opoku ...
