I'm going back to school; Free SHS is here' - Agya Koo

I'm going back to school; Free SHS is here' - Agya Koo


Popular Kumawood actor and comedian, Alex Kofi Adu better known as Agyaa Koo says he may soon head back to school to upgrade his knowledge after the successful implementation of Free SHS policy.

According to Agya Koo, President Akufo-Addo has fulfilled his long dream of getting formal education to upgrade his knowledge. To him, Ghanaians must applaud the leader of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), for fulfilling his campaign promise to Ghanaians.

Speaking on Oman FM in Accra, the actor intimated that he was super excited to have witnessed the official launch of the policy by the President.

Agya Koo in his conversation stressed that, the Free SHS policy is in the right direction since it will give many poor Ghanaian children the opportunity to have High School education. “We did not get this opportunity so parents whose wards are benefiting should take advantage of the Free SHS”, he said.

He also added that the cost of providing free secondary school education would be cheaper than alternative cost of uneducated and unskilled workforce that had the capacity to hinder development.

President Nana Addo on Tuesday launched the Free SHS policy in Accra estimated to cost in excess of GH¢400 million for the 2017/2018 academic year.

The Free SHS programme is a flagship intervention by the NPP government to widen the gates of opportunities to every child.

The policy under the NPP will relieve the burden of parents of over 400,000 students entering Senior High School for the first time after qualifying from the Junior High School level. The Free SHS Policy will also cover pupils who gain admission to technical, vocational and agricultural institutions.

Ghanaian actress begins #NoPanty campaign for ladies Ghanaian actress Baby Blanche of Socrate Safo’s ‘ Hot Fork ‘ movie fame has launched a campaign to stop ladies from wearing panties. She said the campaign which is themed ‘Operation Remove Your Panties’, is advising young ladies to refrain from wearing panties since they play a major role in the cause of infections – like Candida – in the female genital organ. “The whole initiative is to help ladies free themselves from infections which most of them suffer as a result of wearing panties. I have practiced it and it has helped me. I also want to impart this same practice onto others. “I can’t preach about going ‘pantyless’ and contradict myself by wearing them.

I'm not in a rush to make a new family - Yvonne Okoro

I'm not in a rush to make a new family - Yvonne Okoro   If you ever intend visiting beautiful and smart Ghanaian actress Yvonne Okoro at home after 10pm, I’m sorry, that is almost impossible. Yes, the actress lives with her parents in their home and that means you are not really welcome unless the visit is that necessary or you are family related. Well, how did we know this? As monitored by Ghana’s Hub For Pop Culture And Urban Entertainment News – www.nydjlive.com, the actress we so much adore in a recent interview with Delay revealed the parents were very traditional and conservative hence living with them. Wow!! Going on 33 and still living with the parents? I’m sure that’s the very question you are asking yourself but hey, that’s not a big deal. “I live with my parents.

Tic Tac walked out of the interview because visuals of Shatta Wale’s video were playing in the background at a time he was answering questions about the feud between them. “Are you playing Shatta Wale’s video? Is it because we are talking about him? I did not come here to promote Shatta Wale,” he said and left the studio despite attempts by the host to offer an explanation and resolve the issue. In what has been described by many as ‘shocking’, Shatta Wale in a Facebook post jumped to the defense of Tic Tac as he posited that the latter’s posture affirms the ideals he [Shatta Wale] has been preaching for some time now. “I think Tictac really made the best move ever. This is what i have been talking about. We should respect an artiste when he is your studios or...
