Ghana: Nigerians planned to disgrace us - Shatta Wale, Stonebwoy, Kumi Guitar, Becca, King Promise, Felt Unwelcome During Performance in Nigeria

Born David Kwaku Effum Boafo, professionally known as Obibini has stated emphatically that Nigerians poor reception towards Ghanaian artistes who performed at the recently Zylofon Invasion Concert in Nigeria was all planned. The Invasion Concert saw performances from Shatta Wale, Stonebwoy, Kumi Guitar, Becca, King Promise, among others. However, despite the spectacular performances put forth by the Ghanaian artistes, the auditorium could be linked to the cemetery. So, it’s not surprising that Obibini who was part of the performing acts on the night has posited that Nigerians who attended the show planned to disgrace the Ghanaian artistes. Obibini also expressed shock over the event goer’s attitude of keeping mute when Shatta Wale was performing ‘Hosanna’ single but cheered Burna Boy who featured on the song when he stormed the stage to join Shatta Wale. In the voice of Obibini, whatever attitude put forth by the Nigerians who attended the show was planned. O

No music in Liberia’s six-year tourism plan

In just over a half-decade, Liberian tourism could become a million-dollar industry. But the country's music scene might not be contributing to the industry.  The set-up to bring Liberia's plan to fruition was recently made public by Lance Gbagonyon, the country’s Deputy Minister of Cultural Affairs and Tourism. The target, said Gbagonyon, is 15 million international visitors by 2023. The potential boost to Liberia’s economy is put between $20 to $40 million. “My goal is to promote the tourism industry as one of the economic pillars for growth and job creation, and I’m working around the clock to make it a reality,” he said. “The first priority area under the six-year strategic plan focuses on improving and persevering heritage, eco- and wildlife tourism structures. For heritage tourism, we are going to reconstruct the home of President Joseph Jenkins Roberts, Africa’s first democratically elected president, which stands on Ashmun Street and still has its original lo

Female Agriculturist Cultivates 15 Acres of Farmland in Bong

By Marcus Malayea in Gbarnga City, Bong County Women account for eighty-five percent of the agricultural labor force of Liberia, playing an important role in the management of food production.
