If You Like Disrespect Me With A Fokn Live Video, Just Say Fii Against Me – Yaa Pono Dares Shatta Wale

Over the weekend, Amen hitmaker, Yaa Pono and Araba Kwansimah hitmaker, Shatta Wale were supposed to mount the same stage to perform at the Cape Coast Sports Stadium but that didn’t happened, thebigtriceonline.com can state.
According to reports, Yaa Pono was prevented from performing and the excuse given was that Shatta Wale was ready and wanted to perform just at the time Yaa Pono was supposed to mount the stage, and so Shatta Wale was given the nod by the organizers to perform.
Well, we all know that the new king of Facebook live is no other person than Shatta Wale. For the past days, it’s been series of insults anytime he went live, thebigtriceonline.com can say.

Yaa Pono has taken to his IG handle and according to him, he’s daring that king of Facebook live to just disrespect him in his ‘fokn’ live video.

Yaa Pono again added that the king of live video should just say ‘fii’ and the person will realize that even gutters smell in Heaven.

Messi promotes hepatitis C treatment in Egypt

Cairo (AFP) - Argentinian football star Lionel Messi was in Egypt Tuesday as the face of an initiative to promote the North African country as a medical tourism destination for hepatitis C patients.

A blood-borne viral disease, hepatitis C is highly prevalent in Egypt.

"Medication against hepatitis C saves lives, let's put an end to the waiting lists," the Barcelona FC superstar said on his official Facebook page.

Messi has signed to become the ambassador for Tour n' Cure, the Egyptian initiative said on its website.

The programme offers treatment for hepatitis C patients from all over the world "with no waiting time and at a 

fraction of the cost," it said.

It also promoted "the opportunity to take in the beauty of Egypt and visit historic landmarks during the days of the treatment, while enjoying a relaxing stay at a 5-star hotel".

Hepatitis C affects 130 to 150 million people globally and can result in liver cirrhosis or cancer.

According to the World Health Organization, it is responsible for up to 500,000 deaths yearly.

Messi's visit to Egypt was initially scheduled for December, but the footballer postponed it after a suicide bombing of a Cairo church killed 29 people.

He again deferred the visit last week after Barca's 4-0 defeat to Paris SG, Egypt's tourism ministry said, but did not give any reason for the postponement.

Boy Slowly Turning Into a Stone And Losing His Life, Thanks To Earth's Deadliest Disease.

When Ramesh Kumari was born he looked just as healthy and happy as any other baby.

But after 15 days, he started to grow black scales on his skin.

His mother was alarmed and took him to the doctor.

The doctors thought that Ramesh had a fungal infection and told his mother, Nar, that they couldn't do anything.

His condition gradually worsened.

By age six he could barely walk or speak. His body seemed to be turning to stone.

Nar and her husband, Nanda, finally found out that their son's condition was called Icthyosis.

Unfortunately, they didn't have anywhere near enough money to treat the boy.

Nar felt helpless and gave the boy as much love as possible, while feeling tremendously guilty for not being able to cure him.

Then something momentous happened. British singer Joss Stone was playing a concert in Kathmandu.

Stone wanted to do some charitable work while she was in the impoverished region.

A Nepalese singer saw a video about the boy and shared it with Stone. She immediately agreed to help.

Ramesh has started treatments that peel his hardened skin off.

Because he hasn't been able to walk for so long, his muscles have atrophied. He's getting better, but he'll need a great deal of physical therapy.

Hopefully, he'll slowly regain the strength in his muscles.

Stone's foundation raised enough money to keep Ramesh and his family in Kathmandu while the boy is treated. We wish the very best to Ramesh and his family.

Blakk Rasta still making headlines in USA; gets professors and scholars to perform in a band

In Ghana, he’s usually referred to as a radio presenter cum reggae musician but that is not all there is to his persona and the folks in USA get the actual picture and boy, they are exploring all of his attributes.

Since being in the States in the last couple of months, Blakk Rasta, who is also an activist and a lecturer, has had little rest. He’s either in the lecture halls making one of his gripping lectures or on stage, belting out chart-topping songs to very appreciative audience.

But wait, there’s always more!

From February 23 -24, Blakk Rasta is expected to wow the University of North Carolina with a series of lectures, which would be climaxed with a musical concert – under the aegis of the University of North Carolina and the Department of Interdisciplinary Studies & Africana Studies Program, the Black Students Association, Residential Education and Students Affairs.

On February 23, the Barack Obama hitmaker will commandeer a poignant lecture on the subject, ‘Navigating Civil Discourse’ and on the same day, he is expected to deliver on another intriguing topic – ‘Religion vs. Pan-Africanism in Africa Today’.

Then, on February 24, he will headline the Reggae Sound Splash, a musical concert to close what the University expects to be an eventful and memorable period.

Check this out;

The most enthralling bit about the musicalconcert is the fact that, Blakk Rasta will have some highly-revered scholars in his supporting band for the Reggae Sound Splash.

Dr. Zunguze and Dr. Boakye-Boaten, all from the University of North Carolina, will be on guitar and on drums respectively.

Few weeks ago at the University of Central Missouri , the artist/lecturer/radio presenter and activist, launched his new album, Kuchoko Revolution, which was released under the international record label, VP Records.

The launch was attended by a good number of people including Faculty Deans, Heads of Department and students of the University.
