Content Creator Nessa Raises Allegations Against The Late Pastor Prince Elisha Osei Kofi After His Demise

Popular Ghanaian content creator and TikTok personality Nessa has reignited controversy surrounding the late Pastor Prince Elisha Osei Kofi, days after news of his untimely death broke.

On Friday, February 13, 2026, reports emerged that Pastor Elisha Osei Kofi had passed away after a short illness. The sad news was later confirmed by his colleagues and associates on social media, triggering shock and widespread grief among Ghanaians.

The late preacher was the founder of Springs of Grace Executive Fellowship and Pastor Prince Ministries International. His sudden passing left many stunned, especially as there had been no public indication that he was unwell.

Prominent religious figures, including Bishop Daniel Obinim and Reverend Obofour, paid emotional tributes in his honour.

Shortly after news of his death went viral, counterclaims surfaced online alleging that the pastor was in a coma and not deceased. However, his family later released an official statement dismissing the rumours and confirming his passing.

Following the family’s clarification, Nessa — who had previously hinted at exposing the pastor — shared videos addressing her personal experiences with him.

While stating that she would refrain from going into full details out of respect for the widow, Nessa claimed she had witnessed troubling actions involving the late preacher.

She alleged that Pastor Elisha had spiritually caused an individual to develop mental health issues, accusing him of manipulation and dishonesty. The former MTN Hitmaker contestant said she had struggled for years to understand some of the things she allegedly experienced or observed.

Nessa further suggested that others also had stories about their encounters with the deceased pastor and maintained that she would share more details at what she described as the “appropriate time.”

In a separate video, she responded to critics who questioned why she chose to speak after his death. According to her, she had raised concerns about the pastor on Facebook years ago, long before his passing.

The videos have sparked intense debate online, with some social media users supporting Nessa’s right to share her experiences, while others have criticised the timing of her remarks, urging restraint and respect for the grieving family.

As conversations continue, the situation highlights the complex intersection of faith, influence, public image, and accountability — particularly when allegations surface after an individual’s death.

Pastor Elisha Osei Kofi’s family has not publicly responded to the latest claims at the time of filing this report.

Nana Aba Anamoah Scores President Mahama’s First Year In Office Between 75% and 80%

Nana Aba Anamoah has offered a glowing assessment of President John Dramani Mahama’s first year back in office, awarding the National Democratic Congress government a score ranging from 75% to 80%.

During a recent discussion on Joy FM’s Showbiz A-Z with Kwame Dadzie, the Ghanaian media personality credited the administration with steering the country toward economic stability while cultivating a more grounded and accessible leadership style. Her comments coincide with the administration’s first anniversary following the January 2025 handover.

Nana Aba’s evaluation placed particular emphasis on Ghana’s economic rebound. She contrasted the current fiscal environment with the final years of the New Patriotic Party government, commending President Mahama and Finance Minister Dr Cassiel Ato Forson for guiding the country through turbulent times.

“I think that His Excellency John Dramani Mahama has stabilised the economy… I think his Finance Minister is doing an excellent job. The economy is doing very well now compared to the last three, four years. Things were quite turbulent,” she observed.

Beyond numbers, Nana Aba highlighted a shift in the tone of governance. She described the previous administration as excessively arrogant, often dismissing journalists and public commentary, a behavior she notes is largely absent in the current government.

“There was too much arrogance… from the previous administration. You could listen from their utterances on the radio, the way they were so dismissive of journalists and their commentary. It was just very, very arrogant,” she said.

Reflecting on President Mahama’s experience from his first term (2012–2017), Nana Aba suggested the current administration has learned from past missteps, ensuring appointees avoid repeating the arrogance of the past.

“I think that the second coming of JM is a great one. He’s learned his lessons because his first term also had bouts of arrogance—not with him, but with his appointees. But things are different now,” she added.

She singled out several officials as exemplars of this new approach. Gender Minister Dr Agnes Naa Momo Lartey earned praise for her active involvement in social issues, while Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa was lauded for being digitally accessible.

“My favourite really is Oboubia. I like what Oboubia is doing with Mahama. The way she goes to the hospitals and it’s become a weekly thing… I like that,” Nana Aba shared.

While noting that the administration is still early in its four-year mandate, she expressed confidence in its direction, highlighting the attentiveness and visibility of key ministers.

“The trajectory looks good. It looks positive and I’m very happy with the work they’re doing so far,” Nana Aba Anamoah added.

Kotoka Name Removed As Accra International Airport Returns

After decades of operating as Kotoka International Airport, Ghana’s busiest gateway is reverting to its earlier identity. The government has formally reinstated the name Accra International Airport, restoring what officials describe as the facility’s original and globally recognised title.

The Ministry of Transport, in a public statement, traced the airport’s naming history, noting that it first bore the name Accra International Airport before it was later changed. Following a review, the Ministry determined that returning to the former name was justified.

Authorities emphasised that the adjustment is limited to nomenclature and will not interfere with flight operations, safety protocols or international travel arrangements. The airport’s ICAO code, “ACC,” remains intact and unchanged.

The transition will be rolled out through systematic revisions to statutory instruments, official records, aviation publications, signage, digital platforms and other communication materials connected to the airport.

The government has appealed to industry players, development partners and the general public to cooperate with implementing agencies to ensure the process unfolds without disruption. The Ministry expressed appreciation for the continued collaboration of stakeholders.

The decision comes on the heels of sustained national debate. On February 3, the Majority Leader disclosed plans to introduce legislation aimed at restoring the airport’s original name. Proponents framed the move as recognition of the Ga people whose lands were acquired for the airport’s construction and as a step away from what they view as the celebration of unconstitutional regime change.

Supporters, including Bongo MP Charles Bawaduah, argue that removing Kotoka’s name reinforces Ghana’s democratic image by ensuring the country’s principal entry point does not memorialise the overthrow of an elected government.

MUSIGA Lobbies For State-Assisted Funeral For Yaw Sarpong

Calls are mounting for the late gospel icon Yaw Sarpong to be honoured with the highest national recognition, as the Musicians Union of Ghana moves to secure state involvement in his final rites.

MUSIGA says it has formally approached the government, urging consideration of a state or state-assisted funeral in acknowledgement of Sarpong’s impact on Ghana’s music industry. Union President Bessa Simons disclosed the development during an interview with TV3’s Giovanni Caleb, noting that official communication has already been dispatched.

“We do so many things behind the scenes. We write to the government when we know the person has contributed to the industry to see if the government can give them proper honour, like a state-assisted burial.

“It’s only the president who can say yes. But we can propose. That’s what we’ve done,” he said.

Apart from written appeals, the union has stepped up direct engagement with state authorities. According to the President, MUSIGA has held discussions with key government figures and coordinated meetings between members of Sarpong’s family and sector ministers to build support for a nationally recognised funeral.

Yaw Sarpong died on January 20, 2026, at age 66, following a prolonged illness.

Yaw Siki Rejects “Wope Dodo” Earnings, Calls Hit Song Unholy

Ghanaian musician-turned-preacher Yaw Siki has made it clear he will not profit from his hit song “Wope Dodo.”

Speaking in a recent interview on Kessben Drive and later shared on X, Yaw Siki said any earnings from the track would be firmly declined. He described the song as unholy and incompatible with his current faith.

“I am sure Killbeatz and co. are the ones handling the revenue from the song. If they give me money generated from the song, I won’t take it unless they package it as a gift without my knowledge. Since I am no longer living that lifestyle, it is an unholy song,” he explained.

When questioned about performing “Wope Dodo” at concerts, he emphasized he would completely avoid the situation.

“I won’t even go to the show if promoters ask me to perform the song,” Yaw Siki emphasized.

Kevin Taylor Mocks Nana Yaa Brefo Over Uber Job in US

Controversial Ghanaian political commentator and NDC activist Kevin Ekow Taylor has strongly reacted to Nana Yaa Brefo’s revelation that she has relocated to the United States to work as an Uber driver.

Nana Yaa Brefo announced in a TikTok video on Wednesday, February 18, 2026, that she had moved from Ghana to the US and had chosen to work as a rideshare driver. The former media personality explained that although she had received mixed reactions online, she was not ashamed of her new path.

“I told you I was working as an Uber driver in the United States and received a lot of comments, some positive and some negative. I think I explained that there is a need for me to do something here,” she said.

She also took time to explain how the Uber registration process works in the US, contrasting it with the Ghanaian system. Nana Yaa Brefo promised to share more content documenting her experience and transition abroad.

Responding on his With All Due Respect YouTube show on Thursday, February 19, 2026, Kevin Taylor mocked her decision to leave her media career in Ghana for rideshare work in America.

He teased the former broadcaster over her use of what he described as a “used vehicle” for her Uber business, suggesting it contrasted sharply with her previous high-profile career in Ghana’s media landscape.

In the same broadcast, Kevin Taylor also criticised former Peace FM presenter Akua Pokuaa, popularly known as Vim Lady. He alleged that she had been “stuck in a bunker in Maryland” since relocating to the US some years ago.

Taylor further dismissed Nana Yaa Brefo’s attempt to downplay her career transition, arguing that it reflected a significant shift from her once-prominent position in Ghanaian media.

Kevin Taylor and Nana Yaa Brefo have had a longstanding public feud, often exchanging sharp criticisms across traditional and digital media platforms. His latest remarks have reignited discussions online, with supporters on both sides weighing in.

Veteran Ghanaian media personality Nana Yaa Brefo has publicly addressed her decision to leave her journalism career in Ghana and relocate to the United States, where she now works as a rideshare driver.

In a video shared on her TikTok account on Wednesday, February 18, 2026, Nana Yaa Brefo confirmed that she had moved abroad to seek new opportunities and had chosen to work as an Uber driver.

According to her, the announcement of her new profession attracted mixed reactions online, with some social media users offering encouragement while others criticised her move.

“I told you I was working as an Uber driver in the United States and received a lot of comments, some positive and some negative. I think I explained that there is a need for me to do something here,” she stated in the video.

Despite the backlash, she emphasised that she is unbothered by the criticism and sees no shame in earning an honest living.

Her remarks have since sparked conversations about career transitions, migration, and the realities many professionals face when relocating abroad.

MUSIGA Donates GH¢500 To Support Yaw Sarpong’s Funeral At His One-Week Observation

Plans are already taking shape to give the late gospel musician Yaw Sarpong a farewell worthy of his legacy, with the Musicians Union of Ghana pledging their support.

At his one-week observance on February 19, 2026, representatives of the Musicians Union of Ghana revealed that discussions have begun with government authorities to secure state backing for the veteran musician’s final rites. The union said it moved swiftly after news of his death became public.

“When our brother passed away, we did a lot of rounds. We went to the government to inform them about the sad news,” the representative said.

He explained that the outreach was only the first step in a broader plan to ensure the funeral reflects Sarpong’s impact on Ghana’s gospel scene.

“We then planned to go to Flagstaff House to have a conversation with the chief of staff and the president so that whatever help they have to offer for our brother Yaw Sarpong’s funeral would be memorable.”

Apart from lobbying for official assistance, the union has also provided immediate financial relief to the bereaved family. As part of its initial commitment, MUSIGA presented a donation to support funeral arrangements.

“We are donating GH¢500 to the family towards the funeral expenses. When it’s time for the funeral, MUSIGA, we will always be here to support and make sure our brother gets a befitting burial,” he further stated.

I Nearly Quit Music After Being Told Plus-Size Artistes Can’t Make Hits – Celestine Donkor Discloses

At a point when her voice was beginning to carry beyond the church walls, Celestine Donkor nearly walked away from music altogether.

The gospel singer has revealed that early in her journey, she was confronted with a discouraging claim that plus-size artistes could not produce hit songs. The comment, she said, shook her confidence and almost derailed her calling.

In a recent interview with TV3, Donkor reflected on the resistance she faced as a young, gifted chorister whose talent quickly drew attention. As her popularity grew within her church choir, so did tension.

“That time I was young and very talented… So, I got a lot of love… When you’re singing and your song is ‘giving,’ they throw money on you. So, I’m always that girl who receives a lot of money from the congregation. I got a lot of hate among people from the choir.

“One of the things that is very common in choir is when somebody stands out and the person is good, he’s always the one leading; he’s always people’s favourite. They get that kind of hate,” she recalled.

Her transition into solo ministry brought a different kind of blow. Some advisers, she said, urged her to slim down, insisting that her body type would prevent her from scoring a breakthrough hit.

“One of the feedback I got was that I should lose weight because plus sizes can’t be a hit. And that really was hard for me because I’m plus-size. I’ve always been big since I was born,” she said.

Those words lingered. Instead of focusing on songwriting and studio work, she found herself preoccupied with changing her appearance.

“It crushed me for some time. I stopped thinking about writing and singing. I was so focused on losing weight to appeal to people,” she added.

Her outlook shifted after watching a performance video by American gospel singer Tasha Cobbs for the song “Break Every Chain.” Seeing Cobbs minister powerfully on stage challenged the narrative she had internalised.

“At that time, she was bigger than I was. So, I put whatever I was doing to lose weight because it wasn’t even working anyway. So that video from Tasha Cobbs broke that thing over my life, and I picked up from where I left,” Celestine Donkor revealed.

Believe In Yourself First, God Second – Celestine Donkor Counsels

Gospel singer Celestine Donkor has sparked debate online with advice that flips a familiar faith narrative.

During a TV3 interview on February 19, 2026, the award-winning singer was asked what she would tell her 20-year-old self and today’s young people. Her response emphasized a surprising priority: believing in oneself comes before placing faith in God.

“Believe in yourself first. Believe in God second. If you don’t believe in yourself first, and God believes in you, it still won’t work. God believes in you; if He didn’t, He wouldn’t have sent His Son to die for us,” Donkor explained.

She encouraged young people to recognise their own worth and potential, framing self-assurance as the foundation for unlocking God’s plans.

“There’s nothing you cannot achieve. Every other voice will be silenced. Every challenge will be overcome. But if God believes in you and you believe in God, yet you don’t believe in yourself, it won’t work. You matter in the conversation about your destiny,” Celestine Donkor further stated.
