Roseline Okoro The 2012 edition of the annual Miss Ghana pageant is a few weeks away but the integrity of the otherwise enviable contest has been called into question, with some persons challenging the eligibility of one of the contestants, Roseline Okoro; a younger sister of award-winning Ghanaian actress Yvonne Okoro. In what could be fairly described as a blackmail attempt on Roseline, some media houses have started putting out stories that the 22-year-old biochemistry graduate of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) is a “lesser Ghanaian” on the basis that she has a Ghanaian mother and a Nigerian father. The critics have further started a

Leila Djansi Ghanaian movie enthusiasts who were waiting to watch Turning Point Picture’s film ‘ Ties That Bind’, directed by award-winning director Leila Djansi, in the comfort of their homes, may   have to hold on for a while.   Reports available to NEWS-ONE indicate that some officials of Opera Square, made of the Distributors Guild of Ghana who are responsible for film releases, and Leila Djansi are in some kind of cold war over ‘Ties That Bind’s’ release. Distributors Guild of Ghana allegedly said it would not allow Abdul Salam, the distributor of the film, to release it. The group allegedly said it would only allow Venus Film Productions to distribute the films if Leila rendered an unqualified apology to the group for certain comments she made about Opera Square when she had issues with one of its members.

Nino Ghanaian singer Nino, otherwise known in real life as Agyemang Kofi Offeh, is set to release his latest single titled ‘Fanosaa’.   Currently, the song is getting applauds from those who had the opportunity to listen it and is making waves in UK and some African countries. Barely a year ago, was Nino involved in an accident which nearly took his life. ‘Fanosaa’, which literary means ‘be content with what you have’, is described as great masterpiece, with a fusion of palm wine, Salsa and Hindi genres of music.
