Drivers threaten sit-down strike

Posted on by Peace Agyare

Members of the Wisdom Drivers Association have threatened to embark on a strike action against the government if fuel prices are not reduced immediately.

According to the drivers, the government increased fuel prices several times during the month of August but they were not allowed to increase transport fares.

This situation, they claim, has plunged them into hardship, for which they are asking the government to reduce the prices of fuel or face their wrath.

Yaw Barima told Accra 100.5 FM’s Chief Jerry Forson on Friday, 8th September that: “There has been a 17.5 per cent increment in fuel prices but we have not been allowed to increase our fares.

“This is worrying and so we are asking President to reduce the fuel prices. He always says he is not in charge or does not determine fuel prices, but we want him to intervene.”

Signatures Not Enough To Save Movie Industry – Juliet Asante Needles Yvonne Nelson

Posted on by Lawrencia Larbi-Amoah

Speaking in an interview on Daybreak Hitz on Hitz FM, Juliet Asante, actress and movie producer, spoke on the issue of the campaign started by Yvonne Nelson on saving the Ghanaian movie industry. She expressed her indifference towards the campaign. According to the producer, gaining signatures to petition the government is not the answer to the challenges in the industry.

Yvonne Nelson announced the start of a campaign last week on Twitter to solicit for signatures. These solicited signatures were to form a coalition of industry persons to present a petition to the government.with the sole aim of saving the movie industry. Her tweet generated a lot of buzz with people having different opinions.

“I’m not interested in signatures, I don’t think that is the answer. I mean that is good for showmanship and this is a show business so that’s fine. It is good that she’s doing this, she is a young woman who is very vibrant and understands the issues.

“The effort she is bringing to the table should be commended but I will go further to challenge her to go beyond that and also have a deeper conversation. For instance, we expected her, in particular, to be at the festival [Black Star International Film Festival], we sent an invitation and she didn’t show up,” she explained.

Juliet Asante, the brain behind the Black Star International Film Festival concluded that Yvonne Nelson’s “effect should be commended and we should add our effort but I don’t think signing signatures is the answer to the problem.”

Posted on by Peace Agyare

Actress Lydia Forson took to her social media(twitter handle) a few minutes ago to caution her funs and the public as a whole. Her comment “There are killers among us. Beware” follows an article she wrote on twitter a few minutes ago concerning issues relating to Afia Schwarzenegger’s leak sex tape, where the beautiful actress seems to be sympathizing with Afia. So many videos and pictures have been trending all over social media for some days now and one of such videos is one in which Afia Schwarzenegger’s husband was threatening to pour acid on his wife after catching her in bed with another man.

So far, many have come out to criticize Afia’s infidelity but no one has been heard sympathizing with her. In her article Miss Forson is asking if we’re all just going to ignore the fact that the man had threatened to pour acid on Afia and burn her house as well, and for the fact that he even went as far as leaking nude pictures and videos of the incident which is an illegal act in itself
She concluded by advising that ” if you’re not happy in any relationship,man or woman, just leave”.
