Not long ago, this video of controversial Ghanaian pastor, Reverend Obinim, flogging two teenagers in his church for having sex went viral.

https://twitter.com/iGitz_/status/766188645464301569

And even though people all over the internet found this pastor’s action ridiculous…

I guess folks thought I was joking when I declared Obinim CERTIFIABLY
INSANE. Knowing Gh, we will wait till he COMMITS MURDER.
— Kwaku Sintim-Misa (@KSM_Kwaku_Misa) August 19, 2016

Some people thought this ridiculous act was funny.

https://twitter.com/Kofi_Batsa/status/766260678126690304

But that’s not why we’re here sha. Gist just broke that this unpopular pastor was arrested for fraud.

According to the report, he’s currently in jail for being involved in an alleged 11.6 million Ghana Cedis fraud.

The complainant claimed that he gave Pastor Obinim the large amount of money as payment for spiritual assistance. Unfortunately, the pastor didn’t deliver.

In addition to this fraud wahala, he’s also being charged for physical assault of the two people he flogged in his church.

We’re not going to say anything sha. Just let us know what you think in the comments section.
1. Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti: Lioness of Lisabi.

You know her as mother of the great Fela, but she was much more than that. A great advocate for women’s rights, Kuti led more than 10,000 women in a protest against native authorities at the palace of the Alake of Egbaland in 1949, causing him to relinquish his crown for a bit.
2. Yaa Asantewaa: Queen Mother of Ashante Kingdom.

Born in 1840, Yaa Asantewaa became famous for leading the Ashanti rebellion against British colonialism to defend the Golden stool- a symbol of the Asante Kingdom- from Frederick Hodgson, then Governor-General of The Gold Coast.
3. Queen Aminatu: Warrior of Zazzau.

Born around 1533 in Zazzau (now Zaria), Amina was a fearsome warrior with a great army and empire. Her story inspires the fantasy series: Xena, The Warrior Princess.
4. Moremi Ajasoro: Olori of Ile-Ife.

Married to King Oranmiyan, this brave queen risked her life by going undercover to learn the secrets of the tribe terrorizing her people.
5. Ana de Sousa Nzinga Mbande: Ngola of Ndongo

Some say she was a queen, others believe she was a ruthless ‘king’! At the turn of the 17th century, Nzinga fearlessly and cleverly fought for the freedom of her kingdom from the Portuguese, who were colonizing the area now known as Angola.
6. Winnie Madikizela-Mandela

Born 1936, South Africa’s first black professional social welfare worker chose to struggle for equality and justice for all people in South Africa. After her marriage to Nelson Mandela in 1958, she suffered harassment, imprisonment, and periodic banishment for her continuing involvement in the struggle against apartheid.
7. Flora Nwapa: Mother of modern African literature.

Born 1934, Nwapa’s ‘Efuru’ was the first book written by a Nigerian woman. Flora unarguably paved the way for a generation of African women writers. ‘Efuru’ (1966), is based on an old folktale of a woman chosen by the gods.
8. Chioma Ajunwa-Opara, MON.

Chioma was the first West African woman, as well as the first Nigerian, to win an Olympic gold medal in a track and field event when she emerged victorious in the women’s long jump event at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta.
9. Margaret Ekpo: Political activist.

Born in Cross River in 1914, Ekpo was among the first wave of Nigerian women in politics. She was known for attending political rallies, and unionizing women to fight for their rights.
10. Miriam Makeba: Mama Africa.

Widely known for her incredible voice and music, Makeba was also a political activist. In 1963 she testified against apartheid before the United Nations. As a result the South African government revoked her citizenship and right of return. She stayed in America and married Stokely Carmichael, a Black Panther leader.

1. You, the moment you hear “ZAGADAT”:

My body is ready.

It’s already a jam.

Just when we thought Nigerian police officers were the only ones that liked to form bad guy…

And turn up like there’s no tomorrow…

These Ghanaian officers just shocked us in this video.

If Ghana police are not taking bribes this is what they're doing, Kmttt😂😂😂😂😂 pic.twitter.com/Umrq3Z5a0o

They were giving us serious moves o!

Ghanaians, when they see the police officers twerking up and down.

Not every time enforce law, sometimes throw home training away and turn up!
The world is slowly coming to accept that women can aspire to be whatever they want to be. In this inspiring story shared by UNICEF, this Ghanaian woman once again shows us there’s nothing wrong in following ones dreams.
Like most of our parents, Rosemary Amposah’s mother always wanted her to be a nurse, doctor or at least join the police force. She believed people in such occupations were highly respected.

However, plans changed when she graduated from high school and started working as a sales attendant at a filling station because there were only few jobs around. Unfortunately, her job brought little fulfillment.

Surprisingly, her father proved to be far from the typical African father when he encouraged her to learn welding and enrolled her in an institution to help with her training even though her mother hated it.

Joining the school made her the first girl in her class with other 15 boys, and instead of cheering her on, most people only passed negative comments. Especially a man who said her job was going to prevent her from getting married and having children.

In spite of the long distance (she walks to her school) and all the negativity, Rosemary doesn’t even care about what the haters have to say.

It’s funny how people never mention how a man’s job will prevent him from having children or getting married.

Well sha, we’re very inspired by Rosemary’s story and wish her the best!

Abraham Attah, the young actor that captured our hearts with his role as Agu in Beasts of No Nation is going big in Hollywood.

His amateur but equally award-winning performance has not only earned him awards…

But also a spot in the cast of the forthcoming Spiderman movie!

Although his role is yet to be announced, he’ll be joining actors like Zendaya, Tom Holland and Micheal Keaton.

He is also set to star in a drama film, The Modern Ocean, which also includes Daniel Radcliffe, Keanu Reeves and Anne Hathaway.

The Spiderman movie is obviously going to be lit! Abraham is only going to greater places and we hope he wins an Oscar soon!
This spiritual battle between a Ghanaian babalawo and another pastor reminds us of the latest Batman Vs Superman movie- how the fight looked like it was going to be one deadly match!
Apparently, Bishop Obinim, the Founder of International Leadsway church got mad when a spiritual priest claimed to be the source of his healing powers.

Na wa!
Bishop Obinim got angry and challenged the priest, Okomfo Yaw Appiah, to a spiritual battle at Jackson park, Kumasi.

As per actor and boss.
The rules were simple. Bishop Obinim wanted the priest to come and show his powers and the loser gets to be buried in a coffin.

The loser should just go and report to God in heaven.
Being a baby boy, the bishop came dressed in all white and bling with two VIP buses full of his congregation.

As per angel of the most high.
Funny enough, after making plenty mouth, Priest Okomfo didn’t show up because he claimed the police ‘prevented’ him from coming for the battle.

Instead of him to say he’s not doing anymore.
Bishop Obinim kuku declared himself winner of the battle in the presence of the over 3000 people who gathered to watch the battle.

3,000 people no get work?

Many of us have heard of the several Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) that exist and ways to prevent them.
Ghanaian condom brand, Fiesta Condoms put out a hilarious but educating animated series about the advantages of using condoms on their Youtube channel.

It is not a surpsrise that Fiesta Condoms are a trademark of DKT International, the non-profit organization that promotes family planning and HIV prevention through social marketing.

They kicked things off on their Youtube channel with this funny skit about a couple that would rather pray away STIs and infections rather than use condoms.

Then, this funny ad tells the story of a hideous STI that terrorizes couples in the land giving them infections. The Superheroes, Fiesta condoms come to the rescue and save the day.

Check out the full video here.

You can also watch other ads on their channel, Fiesta Condoms Gh.
By now, you’ve definitely heard of Princess Vitarah’s “Nigerian Pussy” song.

And people can’t seem to make up their mind if they love it or hate it.
Now before we start, we’re going to borrow an idea from Siyanda Panda 🙂

This whole time I seriously thought "jollof rice" was code for pussy.
— Siyanda Mohutsiwa (@SiyandaWrites) March 1, 2016

Considering how sweet jollof rice is, we can’t really blame her.
And that analogy makes sense when you think about it…

When West Africans were fighting about whose "jollof rice" is spicier I was like pic.twitter.com/WmdZZwTxd8

Nigerian jollof better than Ghanaian jollof? Nigerians aren’t arguing – no matter what you mean by jollof.
That Naija *jollof* is better than Ghanaian *jollof*

This is what we have been saying since.
That it’s the cream of the crop

Preach it sister!
That it’s so sweet that men pay for it…

She reminds us of the feeling at every great party

(or threesome)
What happens to oyinbos when they taste Nigerian jollof

This one is finished but he doesn’t know it yet.
That Jollof is best with chicken

That a great mama put can destroy your salary

We’re still talking about jollof yeah?
That great Jollof can make you Shoki

Anyway, enjoy the video here
