Happenings In Gold Coast

It seems Sarkodie is not the only one at the end of fiery words from Shatta Wale in recent days. Pastors in Ghana, especially those still trying to get their church members to pay offering and tithe from home, have been slammed by Wale. According to the 'dancehall king', at this point in time when people are stuck home and aren't working, it's insane cruelty to still call on them to send you money. "'We are in a period where I don't think pastors should even try thatyou understand me? Your members come to church and they give collection, now there is a problem. The collections they gave like for the past 30 years, where are those collections?" Wale fired. "Okay like you can say your collections for the past 30 years, where can I buy some rice or yam or things for you. but as at now that Coronavirus is killing your church members, some of your church members don't even have cars, some don't have housesthey rent and you're still collecting tithes online?". "These are scammers like hard sakawa guys and that's why some people like Kennedy Agyapong will get pissed and start bombarding them. As a man of God, don't you have pity?" he fumed.

Shatta Wale threatened to beat the hell out of Sarkodie for dissing him in his new song 'SubZero'. According to Shatta Wale, the world is in crisis and Sarkodie should know better, but instead of helping the government or his fans in the fight against COVID-19, he is rather recording diss songs.

The billionaires are putting together 6 separate world-class units in the following places; Lagos, Kano, Port Harcourt, Enugu, Sokoto and Maiduguri to help eradicate Coronavirus.

Ghanaian actress Nadia Buari has thrown shots at her critics in a recent post as she describes the true nature of humans. The actress who seem not pleased posted on her Instagram page saying we eventually destroy whatever we claim we love therefore it's only fair to be scared of each other. According to her, we claim to love flowers but we end up cutting them as well as eating the same animals we claim to love, therefore why shouldn't one be scared. From her post, we could say someone knowingly or unknowingly has stepped on the toes of the screen goddess and she couldn't hold her cool hence bursting out. She posted a 'sad' photo of herself with the caption "They love flowers, but they cut them. They love animals, but they eat them. Shouldn't you be scared when they tell you they love you?".

She revealed that she lost an aunt a few days ago and anytime her doctor husband goes out of their door, she lives in fright till he comes back because she knows everything can happen to him out there. "Last week, my family suffered a devastating tragedy, the very sudden death of my closest aunt, from a brain aneurysm. One day she was well and happy and the next day she was gone. Our time is filled with pain whose cause still does not feel fully true. We cry and yet we feel as though she is not really gone????And it is more surreal to grieve a sudden death in these strange times when the world has shut down, places once full are empty, heavy with the ghosts of silent gatherings, and across the world, people are dying alone. Coronavirus is a menace in the air, a menace inside our heads. Every day I am reminded of how fragile, how breakable we are????” Last week, my family suffered a devastating tragedy, the very sudden death of my closest aunt, from a brain aneurysm. One day she was well and happy and the next day she was gone. Our time is filled with pain whose cause still does not feel fully true. We cry and yet we feel as though she is not really gone. It is more surreal to grieve a sudden death in these strange times when the world has shut down, places once full are empty, heavy with the ghosts of silent gatherings, and across the world people are dying alone. Every day I am reminded of how fragile, how breakable we are. My husband is a doctor and each morning when he leaves for work, I worry. Moments when we will feel tired after doing absolutely nothing. How can we not? The world as it is today is foreign to us. Like drink more water, if you've spent the past ten years wanting to be more hydrated. Like learn something every day, no matter how small. I believe in allowing myself to feel what I feel. So to manage it I give myself time to feel what I am feeling – an hour, or two, or three, or four – and then when the time is up, I try to push my mind into a different territory. Source | Summary
