A court in Nigeria has set a world record after becoming the first supposed court of law in modern history to accept witchcraft as a provable crime. Apparently, the court in Yola of Nigeria's Adamawa state capital has given six individuals, including incredibly 3 children, an ultimatum to remove a 'curse' they have placed on a little girl. According to the story, the little girl in question is 3 years old and has fallen sick. The six ladies have been accused of using witchcraft to cause her illness and thus been dragged before court. Apparently, the 'ringleader', a 60 year old woman known as Halima has confessed that they used witchcraft to make the little girl sick. She is alleged to be working with three kids between the ages of four and six! and another lady who is on the run. "The Criminal Area Court 1 judge, Hon Umar Gangs who ruled on the case expressed anger that little children still so far from adulthood were introduced into witchcraft. He ordered that Dudu should be found by all means and brought before the court. He gave the accused a 24-hour ultimatum to remove all that they had inflicted the three-old-girl with and restore her to perfect health," Lindaikejisblog.com reports.

To be honest, the issue of who qualifies to be a celebrity is a gray area in Ghana because this country has a funny definition on who a celebrity should be. 2020 gave us a pandemic but some persons managed to put their names on the celebrity list in Ghana. These people became popular in a blink of eye, so much so that they were immediately considered as celebrities. Below is a list of 5 people we think trended and became celebrities in Ghana for the dumbest reasons. 'Bootilicious' Bintu became an overnight sensation on social media all because she has a huge backside. In Ghana, ladies with curves and huge assets easily become celebrities, even if they have zero talent-ask Moesha. I am still confused how a con man is walking as a freeman and even a celebrity when he should be behind bars for fraud, identity theft and impersonation. Dr UN successfully conned influential and discerning personalities occupying top positions in Politics, journalism and even entertainers like braggart Sarkodie, D-Black et al. Rosemond Alade Brown was supposed to be an actress but she became a celebrity not on screens acting but on social media doing just about anything to trend. She will easily go naked on her page and twerk or insult someone just to be be in the news. Mention Akuapem Poloo on the streets and the first thing that will come in the minds of the public is 'Attention Seeker'. This gentleman became a celebrity, traveling across the African continent and even featuring in music videos because he said he was the richest man in Africa. People find his diminutive nature and the words he speak as hilarious and thought it wise to make him a celebrity. He popped up all of a sudden and became an internet sensation after a video of him making outrageous promises to the people of Adukrom Nima electoral area in the District Assembly Election. Aponke became a celebrity granting both radio and television interviews on some of the biggest media houses in the country. Source | Summary

Veteran hi-life singer and dancer Akosua Agyapong is crying out loud not only for the passing of JJ but equally not heeding to any of his advice. Akosua says JJ constantly told her to bring back highlife shows because they missed it so much and she kept postponing it. The man who inspired her to make that move would not even be in attendance. "At my 25th anniversary, he told me to organize such shows every year and that they miss the hi-life songs and shows. But I wanted to wait for my 30th anniversary instead.". "I regret it so much. The show was supposed to be organized last year but due to the pandemic, it was postponed to 2021. Sadly, he couldn't enjoy the music he loved.” Source | Summary
