TikToker, Priscywan, has revealed that after years of uncensored trolling on social media for her facial features, she had to undergo facial surgery to correct the abnormalities.

Speaking on Emelia Brobbey’s ‘Okukuseku’ talk show, Priscywan stated that a beauty facial surgeon reached out to her on TikTok after observing the numerous hate coming from the comments section. ‘You see, with the contents that I produced, my face always show and there were a lot of bullying towards me, because I have a symmetrical face. So a lady DM me saying she is into facial profiling and she has witnessed the bullies and want to help. I gladly agreed provided if she will pay me and have the surgery for free, which she agreed (sic),’ she disclosed.

When asked whether she is done with surgery, Priscywan stated that she intends to have an extensive surgery in the coming days, saying, ‘What I want to achieve with my face I haven’t gotten it yet, so I have plans of undergoing surgery itself to appreciate my beauty.’

Priscywan (Priscilla Addae), known for her boldness and outspoken commentary, rose to fame by mimicking local personalities and has since expanded into hosting, acting, and discussing lifestyle, relationship, and social issues.

The 2026 Legacy Expo, formerly known as the Africa Makeup and Beauty (AMB) Fair, opened in Accra yesterday with hundreds of exhibitors and industry stakeholders participating in the event.

The three-day expo is being held at the UPSA Auditorium and will end on Friday, June 5, 2026. This year’s event is themed ’10 Years of Impact: The Legacy Era.’

More than 300 exhibitors are showcasing a wide range of products and services at the expo. Participating brands include Sora Cosmetics, Gabri, Flow 360, Makeup Kits Plus, Feel Natural, MLIT Fashion, NASPAP/AARAV, Colourbox and Frederic Patric Parfum, among others.

The opening ceremony attracted several dignitaries, including Prof. Edmund Nminyem Delle Chiir VIII, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Rabito Clinic Limited and Board Chairman of the Expo and Ghana Beauty Awards; Mohamed Hassan Kaisamba, High Commissioner of Sierra Leone to Ghana; actress Martha Ankomah; Madam Janet Sunkwa-Mills, Board Chair of the Beauty Business Chamber; Dr Mrs Juliana Akushika Andoh, Senior Lecturer at the Department of Marketing, UPSA; Sandy Osei-Agyeman, Chief Executive Officer of Slid Industries; and Engr.

Senegalese-American singer and entrepreneur, Akon, has claimed that many musicians are not as wealthy as people often believe despite their fame and glamorous public image.

Speaking in an interview with Hip Hop Eye, Akon said artists are usually the last people to benefit financially in the music industry. At the same time, those working behind the scenes often earn more.

According to him, the luxurious lifestyles frequently displayed by musicians on social media and in music videos do not always reflect their financial reality.

‘In the music industry, the artist is the last to get paid. He is the broke one but he is the most famous. If you want to be broke and famous, be the artist,’ he said.

Akon explained that greater financial opportunities exist in other areas of the music business, including production, songwriting, artist management, talent representation and entertainment law.

‘But if you want to make real money, go to other sectors of the music business, like the producer, songwriter, manager, agent and attorney. There are so many areas in the entertainment field that you can really maximise,’ he added.

The singer’s comments have reignited discussions about how revenue is distributed within the music industry and the financial challenges many artists face despite achieving widespread recognition.

Hundreds of worshippers gathered at Bayview Village in Accra on Sunday, May 24, for Atarah Praise 2026. Held under the theme ‘Dalet,’ the event brought together believers for an evening of praise, worship and uplifting music.

The programme opened with an energetic performance by gospel minister, Siisi Baido, who got the audience singing and worshipping from the start.

Prophet Atarah later took the stage and introduced a new anthem for Ghana’s national football team, the Black Stars, ahead of the FIFA World Cup. The crowd warmly received the song. He also performed some of his popular songs, keeping the atmosphere lively and inspiring.

Award-winning gospel singer, Piesie Esther, followed with a powerful performance that blended traditional gospel music with worship. Worshippers sang and danced along throughout her set.

Veteran gospel musician, Obaapa Christy, brought the night to a memorable close. Many people remained on their feet, singing and lifting their hands in worship until the end of her performance.

As the event ended, many attendees expressed their desire for a longer programme in future editions. The success of Atarah Praise 2026 has left many worshippers looking forward to an even bigger event next year.

THE PEOPLE of Berekum last Monday thronged the Omanhene’s Palace and some principal streets of the town to welcome their new Paramount Chief, Odeafour Kyere Diabour Asante II, as he was enstooled and outdoored by the kingmakers of the traditional council.

Odeafour Kyere Diabour Asante II succeeds Daasebre Dr. Amankona Diawuo II, who passed away in 2023.

An overwhelming police presence was present both at the palace and on some of the town’s principal streets during the short and colourful ceremony. As soon as the queen mother, Nana Akosua Ameyaahene II, and council of elders (sub-chiefs) arrived, libation was poured to the ancestors.

Amidst drumming, singing and dancing, the people jubilated and hailed the new chief, saying it is the beginning of a new dawn.

A representative of the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, identified only as Kyeame Bonsu, stated the reason for his presence at the Berekum Omanhene Palace. According to him, all necessary customary rites and tradition regarding choosing a rightful candidate to the Berekum throne have been performed and accepted by Manhyia.

He noted, ‘The queen mother was directed by Otumfuo to follow laid down traditions and customs of the people of Berekum to select the best candidate among the contenders to ascend the throne, saying the rightful person has been selected so today is the day to outdoor the person you have chosen for yourselves (sic).’

Holding a staff as a symbol of authority, Odeafour Kyere Diabour Asante II swore to the kingmakers and elders of the traditional council, and pledged to be of good behaviour as well as continue the good works of his predecessors. He pledged never to depart from tradition and customs of the people, emphasing that failure to abide by the rules should spell his doom (penalty).

Later in an interview with the media, Odeafour Kyere Diabour Asante II said his vision was to unite nananom for sustainable development, encourage a disciplined society, empower the youth through job creation, educational development, as well as ensure good sanitation and peaceful co-existence among all Berekum citizens.

The new Berekumhene is married with two children and is a businessman who prior to his enstoolment was domiciled in Germany.

Manchester United have taken a significant step in their summer rebuilding plans after agreeing a £35 million (pound 40.5 million) deal with Italian side Atalanta for Brazilian midfielder Ederson.

The 26-year-old is expected to undergo a medical in the coming weeks, with the transfer likely to be finalised in early July ahead of United’s return for pre-season training.

United’s move for Ederson highlights the club’s determination to strengthen their midfield options following the departure of veteran Brazilian, Casemiro. The Red Devils are expected to prioritise reinforcements in the centre of the park after focusing heavily on attacking additions during previous transfer windows.

Questions have also been raised over the future of Uruguay international, Manuel Ugarte, who joined from Paris Saint-Germain in 2024 for around £50 million. His lack of involvement towards the end of last season fuelled speculation that he could leave Old Trafford before the transfer window closes in September.

Should Ugarte depart, Ederson’s arrival would leave United with a relatively youthful midfield group that includes Kobbie Mainoo, Mason Mount and captain Bruno Fernandes, all of whom are generally deployed in more advanced roles. As a result, the club could still pursue additional midfield signings before the start of the new campaign.

United may also look within their academy ranks, with promising youngsters Tyler Fletcher and Jacob Devaney viewed as potential long-term options.

Ederson arrives with a strong reputation after impressing during his time at Atalanta. The Brazilian, who has earned three senior international caps, scored 16 goals in 180 appearances for the Serie A club and has demonstrated the versatility to operate in multiple midfield roles.

Meanwhile, United continue to monitor West Ham midfielder Mateus Fernandes. However, no formal offer has been made, with the London club reportedly valuing the player at around £80 million.

The pursuit of Ederson signals the beginning of what could be a busy summer at Old Trafford as United seek to reshape their squad ahead of the new season.

Ghanaian media personality, Ohemaa Woyeje, has dismissed long-standing rumours of a feud with broadcaster Deloris Frimpong Manso, popularly known as Delay.

In a recent interview with Nana Romeo on Okay FM, Ohemaa Woyeje stated that ‘People claim I have a beef with Delay, but I do not have any problem with her.’ According to her, the public often tried to create the impression that they were not on good terms, but that story is not true.

Ohemaa Woyeje recalled her time working with Delay at Top Radio, describing a respectful and supportive relationship. She said they worked peacefully without any misunderstanding or bad blood during their time at the station. Ohemaa Woyeje disclosed what she believed sparked the beef rumours, saying when Delay decided to leave Top Radio, management had already been informed of her exit.

However, someone later informed management again, which prompted the station to begin preparations for a replacement. Woyeje said the station manager then approached her and asked her to take over Delay’s programme. She accepted the offer despite the pressure and expectations, settled in well, and connected with her listeners.

She noted that most listeners, except for Delay’s die-hard fans, stayed on the show after her exit.

The award-winning presenter added that after she took over the programme, some people in the entertainment industry advised her to be careful of Delay and claimed they did not know what her colleague had discussed with them. Despite those warnings, Ohemaa Woyeje insisted she never had personal issues with Delay and never saw her as an enemy.

Christian Service University (CSU) has taken a major step in its academic development with the launch of its first doctoral programme, the Doctor of Ministry (D.Min.) in Christian Leadership and Management.

The programme, which was officially launched at the university’s auditorium in Kumasi on Monday, is expected to equip Christian leaders and professionals with advanced theological, leadership and management skills to address contemporary challenges facing the church and society.

The launch ceremony brought together academics, church leaders, students, alumni, government officials and other stakeholders from across the country.

Delivering the keynote address on the theme, ‘Bridging Scholarship and Practice: The Role of the Doctor of Ministry in Contemporary Church and Societal Leadership,’ Chancellor of CSU, Most Rev. Prof. Emmanuel Asante, described the programme as a significant intervention aimed at producing reflective and transformational leaders.

According to him, the Doctor of Ministry degree occupies a unique position between academic scholarship and practical ministry, enabling leaders to combine theological reflection with real-world problem-solving.

He explained that unlike traditional research-oriented doctoral programmes, the D.Min. is specifically designed for practitioners who remain actively engaged in ministry and leadership while pursuing advanced academic studies.

‘The Doctor of Ministry bridges scholarship and practice by equipping leaders to interpret complex realities with theological depth and respond with wisdom, innovation and practical competence,’ he stated.

Prof. Asante noted that the changing dynamics of society and ministry require leaders who can navigate issues such as declining trust in institutions, technological advancement, mental health challenges, social fragmentation, ethical dilemmas and changing forms of community life.

He said the programme would prepare leaders to analyse congregational and societal issues, conduct applied research and develop innovative solutions rooted in Christian principles.

Transformational Vision

In a welcome address, the Acting Vice-Chancellor described the launch as a landmark achievement in the history of the university.

He noted that the programme represents a major contribution to CSU’s strategic agenda of expanding graduate education, strengthening research capacity and enhancing academic relevance.

He explained that the introduction of the doctoral programme aligns with the university’s vision of impacting humanity through Christ-centred education and transformational scholarship.

‘This launch is not merely the introduction of a new academic programme. It is the unveiling of a vision to equip Christian leaders for greater impact in ministry, governance, organisational leadership and national transformation,’ he stated.

The Acting Vice-Chancellor further disclosed that the programme would contribute to the generation of new knowledge through research, publications, conferences and practical ministry engagement.

He said it would also provide a platform for contextual theology and leadership models capable of addressing the unique challenges facing the African Church and society.

He expressed appreciation to faculty members, administrators, church leaders and other stakeholders whose contributions made the development of the programme possible.

Head of Consumer Finance at Agricultural Development Bank (ADB), Gilbert Serbeh-Yeboah, has told a High Court in Accra yesterday that former Executive Deputy Director of National Service Authority (NSA), Gifty Oware-Mensah, gave one omnibus authorisation for the transfer of funds.

According to him, the bank had an understanding with the accused person under an arrangement in dealing with over 10,000 National Service persons where she told officials of the bank that she will not be available all the time to give instructions for transfers.

‘So, one omnibus instruction was issued under the 10,000 arrangement. However, the accused was always contacted on phone, and that instruction is in the possession of the bank,’ the witness told the bank.

Mr. Serbeh-Yeboah, said this while under cross-examination by Gary Nimako Marfo, counsel for Gifty Oware-Mensah, who is accused of causing financial loss of GHS6,956,157.47 by causing the state to pay the said amount as interest to the Agricultural Development Bank on a GHS31,502,091.40 loan inappropriately authorised for Blocks of Life Consult, which she benefitted from.

She has also been accused of stealing and laundering GHS31,502,091.40 by transferring it from the NSA hire purchase escrow account with ADB to Blocks of Life Consult ‘for the purpose of disguising the illicit origin of the money, knowing it to be proceeds of crime.’

Mr. Marfo, in his cross-examination, questioned the witness on the existence of a transfer authorisation from Gifty Oware-Mensah for the transfer of funds from the NSA hire purchase account to the account of Blocks of Life Consult Limited.

Evidence before the court indicate that the first transfer to Blocks of Life Consult Limited was done on February 22, 2023 while the second transfer was made on March 2, 2023.

However, the letter from the accused allegedly authorising the transfer of funds was received by the bank on March 2, 2023, nine days after the first transfer had already been done.

Mr. Marfo, therefore, suggested to the witness that the first transfer dated February 22, 2023 was not done on the authorisation of Mrs. Oware-Mensah.

The witness, however, disagreed, indicating that there was no authorisation for each specific transfer but one omnibus and the accused was always contacted before the transfer.

Mr. Serbeh-Yeboah, in further explaining the issue, said the account is not a normal current account operated by customers, but rather a suspense account temporarily held for the purpose of this employer-based facility.

He indicated that at the time of this disbursement, the bank had delayed facility which started in October 2022, and the first transaction was a fraction of the total amount.

He said the payment was made because Gifty Oware-Mensah had ‘threatened to abandon this whole arrangement, and for fear of losing the whole request, which to us was profitable, we submitted GHS193,300 which was within the limit of approval of the head of risk retail.’

He added that the accused was quickly informed that the facility was going to go through because ‘we secured partial approval and to secure the deal, we requested for a transfer instruction which she promised was going to come that same day. And based on that trust, GHS193,841 was transferred with the assurance of transfer request.’

‘The next day, we had approval of the bank’s credit committee for an amount of GHS6,685,200 and the transfer instruction that was supposed to have come arrived on the third. That explains why you don’t see a specific letter of February 22, 2023,’ Mr. Serbeh-Yeboah told the court.

‘I’m putting it to you that there is no evidence before this court that the accused person was contacted by the bank before transfers were made to Blocks of Life Consult Limited,’ the lawyer suggested.

‘I had stated earlier how we communicated with the accused through mails, WhatsApp messages, letters and via telephone. And with the transfers, I said the accused was contacted via telephone,’ the witness answered.

‘I’m putting it to you that because no such emails, WhatsApp messages, telephone records exist between you, your bank and the accused person, you have been unable to provide any such evidence before this honourable court,’ Mr. Marfo further suggested.

‘My Lady, my answer was aside this omnibus authorisation we contacted the accused via telephone,’ Mr. Serbeh-Yeboah answered.

‘I’m further putting it to you that in normal banking practice such as the instant one, if exhibit D (authorisation letter) was a standing authorisation to affect past, present and future transactions, the said authorisation ought to have specially stated so,’ Mr. Marfo suggested again.

The witness, in response, said ‘I’ve explained very well the circumstances for not having the transfer dated February 22, 2023. I have already said this was omnibus.’

Mr. Serbeh-Yeboah added that in banking, even if this was wrongly credited to the account, it is for the NSA, acting on behalf of the National Service persons, to have rejected liability for that transfer.

The Ghana Air Sports Federation (GASF), in partnership with the Esports Association Ghana, has officially launched the campaign for the maiden edition of the DGN Drone League and Zen Palms Drone Championship, a groundbreaking initiative aimed at discovering and developing Ghana’s next generation of drone sports athletes.

As part of preparations for the championship, Presbyterian Boys’ Secondary School (PRESEC), Legon, has become the first senior high school selected to participate in what organizers describe as Ghana’s first-ever Drone League for second-cycle institutions.

The campaign will feature a nationwide tour to introduce drone sports to participating schools and institutions, followed by intensive training sessions, competitive trials, and qualification rounds. The process will identify the six best drone sports athletes from each participating school to represent their institutions at the team level.

Outstanding performers from the top three schools will subsequently be integrated into Ghana’s National Air Sports Drone Team and groomed to represent the country at international drone sports competitions.

President of the Ghana Air Sports Federation, Isaac Nana Van Der Puije, recently visited the PRESEC Aviation Club to formally introduce the sport to students and club members. The session was led by Private Pilot Licence holder and PRESEC alumnus Andrew Adams, alongside former Aviation Club executive and old student Kenneth Louis Cofie, who shared their experiences and career journeys in aviation.

Speaking on the importance of engaging students at an early stage, Mr. Van Der Puije stressed the need to expose young people to emerging technologies and career opportunities.

‘It is crucial that this campaign begins in our schools because that is where young people are still discovering their interests and career paths. Introducing drone sports to them early can help them develop valuable technical skills and identify future opportunities within the UAV industry,’ he said.

He added that the Federation remains committed to developing drone sports in Ghana and positioning the country as a leading hub for air sports and drone technology in Africa.

PRESEC’s selection for the championship comes as no surprise given the school’s growing reputation for nurturing excellence in science, technology and innovation. Through its Aviation Club, students are introduced to key aspects of the aerospace industry, including aerodynamics, aircraft systems, air navigation services, and aeronautical information systems.

The club has become a platform for inspiring future pilots, engineers, and aviation professionals through educational workshops, industry engagements, and field experiences.

The DGN Drone League and Zen Palms Drone Championship is expected to bring together top drone pilots, students, schools, corporate organizations, and air sports enthusiasts in a competition that celebrates innovation, technology, teamwork, precision, and speed.

Organisers say the championship will serve as a platform to discover, develop and showcase Africa’s future drone sports stars while promoting STEM education and technological advancement among young people.
