After changing lives of madam Esther and Madam Comfort in Accra, Verna Natural Mineral Water has provided shelter for two homeless people in the district capital of the Ashanti Region, Kumasi under the Verna Changing Lives project.

The company through its flagship social responsibility program has provided accommodation and livelihood empowerment for Mr. Kofi Kissi and madam Ruby who were food on the streets in Accra. The two persons were announced to the public when the leading drinks manufacturing company Twellium Industrial Company officially launched its operations in the Ashanti Region.

Speaking at the official launch of operations of the Twellium Foundation in Kumasi on behalf of the Otumfuo, the Otumffuo’s Apagyahene Amokomhene Nana Adu Mensah Asare commended the company for its initiatives in the country. He added that the Asantehene has provided the company a plot of land just to support their operations in the region.

“On behalf of the Otumffuo and the Manhyia palace, I wish to commend you for doing this and employing our youth and to top it up; you are trying to fulfil your social responsibilities.”

The Head of Marketing for Twellium Industrial Company Limited Ali Ajami speaking at the event held at Golden Beam Hotel expressed his gratitude to the people of Kumasi and the Asantehene for the reception.

Explaining the motivation for setting up the Twellium Foundation, he indicated that it was a way for giving back to the Ghanaian society, which he described as being a pillar for the company’s success.

“We are doing this because Twellium Industrial Company Limited is a Ghanaian registered company and the manpower is ninety percent Ghanaian and we have seen that Ghanaians are patronizing our products because of the good quality and because they are patriotic about owning the products. I think that changing lives is the best way to congratulate people to tell them thank you for patronising our products,” He said.

Influential persons in the society who were at the launch of the company’s operations in the Ashanti Region on Sunday, May 21 included Nana Adu Asare Mensah (Amokomohene) Mr. Henry Abgeve (Rep. Regional Police Commander), Mr. Francis Odwira Darkwo (Rep. Deputy Regional Minister), Dr. Akpalu (CEO of KATH), Dr. Breanya (Rep. KNUST Vice Chancellor) and many others.

I Had To ‘Chase’ Joey B To Feature Him On My New Song – Magnom

1

Popular Ghanaian music producer, Magnom, has revealed to Spyderlee Entertainment TV how he had to literally chase after colleague musician Joey B to feature him on his new song ‘My Baby.’

Speaking in an interview with Nealyon, host of Hot Gist on Spyderlee Entertainment TV on Friday, Magnom stated that he thinks Joey B is in his own space right now; and that in as much he’s good friends with Joey B, he had to chase him for the feature.

‘I had to chase Joey B to feature him on my new song. Joey B is my guy but I think I had to chase him. I think Joey is in his own space right now. He has to vibe with you on a different level. So one day, he was going for a meeting and he passed by my studio and he sounded different. Joey B usually takes a longer time to write his verses but he was so quick. He was writing his lyrics in the booth and I was quite skeptical about how good his verse will be. After 2-3 days, I realized that his verse was ‘bad’ as in dope. It was on point; it fitted the song perfectly,’ he said.

‘My baby’ is a song by Magnom featuring Joey B. Ever since the video was released on Youtube, it has received over 94,000 views.

Ebony & Takoradi Technical University Students Clash; Here’s What Really Happened

1

All did not end well when female musician Ebony was billed to perform at Takoradi Technical University on Saturday, May 20.

The artiste according to reports failed to perform at the concert when she travelled from Accra to Takoradi to perform at the TTU-GNUPS Excellence Awards.

Publicist for the singer has told Zionfelix.net what happened when he travelled to the tertiary institution with his artiste Ebony.

Whenever a promoter of an event decides to book an artiste for an event, there is an agreement which is signed. All parties involved need to make sure they perform their duty to ensure its success and create a healthy relationship.

Bullet of Ruff & Smooth (CEO Ruff Town Records) as well as Allen Kofi Anti (Brands Manager) and EduCenter signed an agreement for Ebony to perform at the Takoradi Technical University GNUTS Awards Night which was to be held on 20th of May, 2017. The organizers in the contract were supposed to fulfil their duty as at 19th of May but pleaded with Ebony and her team to come to Takoradi with the assurance that everything will be sorted out before the performance takes place.

Ruff Town Records publicist Kofi Anderson (Xerda) and a rep from the team arrived at 4pm to ensure everything was set for the event. The rest RuffTown & AVO team followed up with Ebony as the organizers had promised to settle the rest of the agreement. As at 10pm, they still had not fulfilled their part of the contractual agreement. 2 extra hours was given as an opportunity to make things right. Unfortunately they wanted to play smart and in the end, the team decided to leave since the level of disrespect was bad. A risk was taken by leaving Takoradi at 12am just to arrive at Accra by 4am. She went to her residence and not a birthday party as some people are insinuating.

Ebony never had any contact with the students of the Takoradi Techinical University as the lodge was quite a distance from the campus. The female dancehall act was ever ready to perform at the Takoradi Technical University Awards Night GNUTS but circumstances didn’t allow it.

I must say however, that this is not at all like me especially as I have been promoting start ups and young entrepreneurs. As a matter of fact, since January , Ive have 10 graduate students undergoing start up programs under the John dumelo Foundation. I was totally out of order on this one and I sincerely apologize to everyone especially the hard working hawkers who endure the sun just to make ends meet. I will soon join him on the streets to experience this selfless act for myself. Very inspiring. #melomoment #entrepreneur #togetherness #A1bread” Dumelo wrote.
