Unfortunately,our dear Ama Ghana has not been spared this time around like in the case of Ebola in  2014 and as at now 9 cases has been reported, albeit imported.

What at all is in a birthday ? The Oxford dictionary defines a birthday as the day in each year which is the same date as the one on which you were born.

The natural girl,Mzvee has returned to music after a long hiatus which she attributed to depression and other psychological matters. Since her return,Mzvee has released two songs namely “sheriff” and “who are you.”These songs are very nice songs which need far more attention than they are getting currently.

Whatever be the case, the label didn’t sign talentless individuals so it can be considered a team effort but if you look at what has happened to Asem and the rest , we can say the label indee
