  • Educated people are those stealing Ghana’s resources – Tic

    Educated people are those stealing Ghana’s resources – Tic

    Highlife artist Nana Kwaku Okyere Duah, popularly known as Tic, has voiced his anger over the misuse of public funds by government officials.

    He highlighted a shift in perception within African society, where it was once believed that thieves were mostly the uneducated and unemployed.

    However, he argues that this is no longer the case.

    Tic emphasized that today, it is often well-educated individuals in government roles who are manipulating budgets and forging documents to siphon public funds, which in turn devastates the nation.

    “Growing up in africa, most people thought thieves were mostly the uneducated or unemployed people, but now everyone knows that it is completely wrong!

    “The real thieves are the educated ones in coats with a pen to steal via forging figures and papers for silly explanations when they are caught,” he wrote on X.

    Corruption continues to be a major problem in Ghana and across Africa, exacerbating the challenges faced by citizens amid ongoing economic difficulties.

  • K.K Fosu didn’t speak well, he isn’t a selfish person – Nana Poku Ashis

    K.K Fosu didn’t speak well, he isn’t a selfish person – Nana Poku Ashis

    Popular music producer and industry commentator Nana Poku Ashis has addressed the controversy surrounding Highlife artist KK Fosu’s absence at the funeral of blogger John Claude, who died in a car accident in May 2024.

    In a recent interview with Accra-based Hitz FM, Ashis offered an apology for Fosu’s outburst and shed light on the artiste’s frustration.

    He revealed that Fosu’s comments stemmed from anger over the lack of legal action against the driver responsible for the accident, while Fosu himself faced public criticism.

    Ashis acknowledged that Fosu’s remarks were inappropriate, but attributed them to his deep frustration with the situation.

    He explained, “KK’s outburst was driven by his frustration over the fact that no progress had been made in addressing the driver’s responsibility for the accident.

    He felt unfairly targeted by public backlash while the actual perpetrator seemed to be evading accountability.”

    He defended Fosu’s character, describing him as a generous and kind-hearted individual who had always been supportive of others. “KK Fosu is not a selfish person. He is known for his selflessness and willingness to help others,” Ashis added.

    Ashis also criticized the handling of the situation by Fosu’s team, suggesting that a better approach in managing public relations might have softened the backlash.

    He urged for empathy and understanding, emphasizing that Fosu was deeply impacted by the incident and the subsequent criticism.

    The controversy erupted after the tragic accident on May 25, 2024, which involved Fosu and fellow artist Bless.

    The accident resulted in severe injuries for both musicians and the death of Bless’s videographer, John Claude. Following John Claude’s burial on July 19, 2024, Fosu and Bless were criticized on social media for their absence at the funeral and the subsequent one-week commemoration.

    In response to the criticism, Fosu took to Facebook on July 22, 2024, expressing his frustration and calling for a focus on seeking justice for John Claude instead of attacking him and Bless.
