The Late Afternoon Show on GHoneTV since it's inception like a month or so ago has really made the headlines for the interesting topics discussed on the show and gradually making the show a must-watch one. In today's edition that aired from 4pm to 5pm,the show was dedicated to reviewing the biggest news of 2017 albeit more of entertainment news. The show couldn't have ended without Berla Mundi and her panelists including Sika Osei and Mzgee(with Official Kwame joining later ) discussing Yvonne Nelson's pregnancy and subsequent successful delivery but it seems their thoughts got on the nerves of the outspoken Yvonne Nelson who tweeted just minutes after the show to air her displeasure. Below is a screenshot of her tweet;

Tic Tac was on GHToday on GHoneTV some minutes ago to talk about his music and obviously the litigation with Melcom that went in his favour,his recent issues with Shatta Wale and other things he was up to. Midway or so through the interview,he got angry when Shatta Wale's work was being played and decided to end the interview his own way;while leaving the set said he hadn't come there to promote Shatta Wale and this obviously left Baisiwaa Dowuona-Hammond a bit flummoxed and she kind of struggled to string words together afterwards. Below is the video of the incident; 

  Perhaps Joe Mettle is enjoying the mileage he gained from winning the artiste of the year at this year's VGMAs as the video to his song  ‘Bo noo ni’, released on September 12th this year – a little over two months ago, has received impressive YouTube views and at the last time of checking had a million views. ‘Bo noo ni’ which featured Luigi Maclean is a Ga phrase which means ‘Only you’  and was released ahead of the ultimate God of Miracles album in September which rose as high as topping the iTunes Music Chart. All songs on the 13-track album were written by Joe Mettle except for ‘God of Miracles’ written by Pastor Edwin Dadson, Ogya and also the collection of songs in ‘The Experience’ track which are most credited to public archive.

Ghana's Most Beautiful 2017 was brought to an end some minutes ago with the final held at the Accra International Conference Centre. After performances from each finalist namely Serwaa from the Eastern region,Baaba from Central region,Nana from Western region and Zeinab from the Northern region;the latter came tops albeit not so easy. For her price, Zeinab goes home with a brand new car and a trip to Dubai. The show was intermittently spiced up with performances from Kuami Eugene,Mzvee and Edem who performed just before the winner was announced.

Shatta Wale paid a visit to the President,Nana Akufo-Addo at the Flagstaff House this week after the two had a Twitter conversation to that effect. It seems that has opened the floodgates for other musicians as Stonebwoy also tweeted for a similar gesture just yesterday.

  Basketball has over the years been gaining popularity in Ghana but even before it became popular nationally,it has always been popular in Tema due to the many courts that are available in the harbour city with children and adults alike seen playing the game during the day and sometimes at night.   It is the ever-growing popularity of the game that the organisers of this competition are taking advantage of by organising this novelty of a tourney dubbed "Inter-Church Basketball Tournament" which is scheduled to take place on Saturday,15th July at the Tema Chinese Court, Community 4 at 8:00 am prompt.

 The National Science And Maths Quiz has over the past few years become very popular mainly because of social media and the interest and coverage of certain traditional media houses like Citi FM,TV Africa,Joy FM,Joy News and Joy Prime.   The quiz I dare say has become the measure of how good or otherwise a school is aside WASSCE with all its flaws nevertheless.It is what especially old students of schools use as bragging rights over their bitterest rivals and the emotions involved aren't a child's play.   Competition is good but we shouldn't allow the National Science And Maths Quiz to just be a competition involving schools having contests and declaring a winner and everyone going to sleep.We as individuals be it old students of participating or mere observers will definitely go to bed until the next competition because majority of us are interested in the quiz because of the bragging rights and social media trolls if the hard truth is to be told but that shouldn

All those angry messages, those declarations of love, those messages sent to your boss instead of your partner — we have all been through the embarrassing moments of regret, right after we’ve hit send. However, these could soon become a thing of the past. WhatsApp might soon be introducing a feature that enables users to recall an unwanted message. According to WABetaInfo, a fan site that tests new WhatsApp features early, this feature may be introduced in the next Whatsapp update (2.17.30+). The recall option will only be available within five minutes of you having hit send. You can even recall pictures, GIFs, and videos too, however, if you miss that five-minute windo, your message will remain. “WhatsApp has added in beta the possibility to edit messages that you already sent. It is actually disabled by default and it’s under development,” an earlier WABetaInfo’s tweet read. The Facebook-owned app with over 1.2 billion users worldwide came under harsh criticism over t
