NANA KOFI MAISON<br />
Editor<br />
A<br />
wise man once said ‘when God solves<br />
your problems, you have faith in HIS<br />
abilities; when God doesn’t solve your<br />
problems He has faith in YOUR abilities’.<br />
The success we seek or the feat we wish<br />
to cover will not come by mere wishes, but to<br />
those who are willing to work earnestly in order<br />
to achieve their desires. One thing we often<br />
overlook is the ability to correlate other potentials<br />
with similar interest to attain our goals.<br />
Most relationships and organizations suffer<br />
and lose progressive future due to their inability<br />
to consciously align with others to create a formidable,<br />
robust future.<br />
But one needs to understand that seeking<br />
alignment or partnership comes with a great<br />
price in that we first have to work on ourselves<br />
and looking within if we are ready to take such<br />
steps.<br />
I agree with one great mentor, Jim Rohn when<br />
he said “To attract attractive people, you must<br />
be attractive. To attract powerful people, you<br />
must be powerful. To attract committed people,<br />
you must be committed. Instead of going<br />
to work on them, you go to work on yourself. If<br />
you become, you can attract.” Being our maiden<br />
edition, we at GhStar Magazine shall align<br />
with our team, readers and clients to build one<br />
great magazine firm on the face of the earth.<br />
God help us!!!

STEP 1<br />
Every relationship experiences its share of problems. But when things get so bad that you<br />
wonder if the relationship is worth saving, that’s the time to step back and take a careful<br />
look. One of the worst things either partner in a relationship can do is to make an emotional<br />
decision before considering all the practical issues. As impossible as it may seem<br />
when things begin to go wrong, there are steps you can take to save a dying relationship.<br />
John Gottman, who conducts research on marriage and family dynamics, suggests that<br />
often it’s emotional distance, and not conflict, that causes problems in a relationship.<br />
HOW TO<br />
Identify the problem. You can’t fix your<br />
relationship until you know for certain<br />
what is broken. Once you know what<br />
went wrong, you can work on repai<br />
ring the damage. Amy Botwinick,<br />
author of “Congratulations on<br />
Your Divorce: The Road To Fin<br />
ding Your Happily Ever After,”<br />
points out that you need to be<br />
realistic and honest when eva<br />
luating your relationship, esp<br />
ecially if you are considering<br />
divorce. Divorce might not ne<br />
cessarily be the best option,<br />
however Botwinick emphasiz<br />
es that when individuals expe<br />
rience serious problems in a re<br />
lationship, it’s time to give car<br />
eful thought to what it will really<br />
take to make it work.<br />
STEP 2<br />
STEP 3<br />
FIX A<br />
Place things in perspective. Couples frequently<br />
have to give each other space for a<br />
while to sort things out. Having a little time<br />
on your own to think gives you the opportunity<br />
to calm down. Afterward, you might be<br />
less likely to make rash decisions.<br />
Assume responsibility for your actions, and<br />
avoid blaming the other person. Partners<br />
never should have to defend themselves, since<br />
sincerity can have more of an impact on the<br />
other person than arguing. If you want your<br />
relationship to survive, it takes two to commit<br />
to making it work. When couples show<br />
empathy for each other’s feelings, they can<br />
usually deal with their problems in a more<br />
pragmatic manner.<br />
DYING<br />
RELATIONSHIP<br />
STEP 4<br />
STEP 5<br />
Hebusci conscit Catam<br />
tastis verdi.<br />
Forgive each other. According to Mayo Clinic, forgiveness<br />
can take time. However, a couple needs to<br />
restore the trust in the relationship before partners<br />
can move their lives together forward in a positive<br />
direction.<br />
Talk with each other, but not before you can talk<br />
calmly and rationally. Keep the lines of communication<br />
open, and discuss the problems in<br />
your relationship openly and honestly.<br />
Listen to what your partner has to say. This lets<br />
him know that you respect him. Make him feel like<br />
he can talk to you about anything that is bothering<br />
him. A study reported in the July 2003 issue of<br />
the “Journal of Personality and Social Psychology”<br />

ried partners kept a daily diary for three weeks,<br />
recording perceptions of their spouses’ regard for<br />
them.<br />
Compromise, especially in relation to sharing<br />
problems and responsibilities. Determine whether<br />
the two of you are working toward the same goals,<br />
and if you are willing to work on solving your<br />
problems together.

GH STAR <strong>MAGAZINE</strong> 16<br />
Our Board of Directors...<br />
“….I placed a request for a cheque<br />
book with my branch about 3<br />
weeks ago. As of today, no one<br />
has called to inform me whether<br />
it’s in or not. Why is this taking so<br />
long these days...? Have things<br />
changed with your Bank…?” Those<br />
were the words of an obviously<br />
irate customer who had called me<br />
on the phone to express her frustration.<br />
It was not unusual to have<br />
such an experience as my contact<br />
details are displayed in our Banking<br />
halls as a sign of our commitment<br />
to service excellence. I listened patiently<br />
to the customer and offered<br />
to ensure that her needs were catered<br />
to at the earliest time practicable.<br />
Worrying though it was,<br />
to hear such news from a client I<br />
could ignore the fact that within<br />
that feeling of distress lay a subtle<br />
realization of how far we had come<br />
as an institution. That day was<br />
March 4th, 2013.<br />
Since 2008 when we commenced<br />
operations, BEIGE<br />
Capital witnessed continuous<br />
growth in scope, size and nature<br />
of operations. From the<br />
initial status of a money lending<br />
institution, we have survived<br />
the delivery of financial<br />
services at the micro and small<br />
scale levels and have now built<br />
capacity to provide banking<br />
services to medium-sized institutions.<br />
Beyond gaining maturity,<br />
our experience over the period<br />
has usefully transformed<br />
our understanding of the market,<br />
our clients, our people and<br />
even other stakeholders such<br />
that our relationships are getting<br />
better by age. Today, we<br />
hold dear and remain more<br />
resolute to our ideals–integrity,<br />
discipline, commitment,hard<br />
work and teamwork – as a<br />
company.<br />
Our credentials are modest for<br />
now but not our aspirations…..<br />
they are ambitious. We are and<br />
would continue to invest more<br />
in our people, systems and<br />
procedures as well as other initiatives<br />
that would support our<br />
quest to becoming a successful<br />
financial institution in our<br />
time and beyond.<br />

No matter how much you develop the necessary<br />
skills to improve any given aspect<br />
of your life, you can always get better.<br />
There is no book, no method, no person, nor tool<br />
that can bring you to perfection in any area of<br />
your life. Getting better, improving yourself, is a<br />
never-ending process.<br />
These are a few ideas on what you can do now<br />
that can have a significant impact on your life<br />
and career now and in the future.<br />
If you do anything, do this first one: learn<br />
01. how to work hard and stick with something.<br />
Learn how to turn off the distractions of<br />
social media and focus on what matters most<br />
to you. You’ll instantly be ahead of a majority of<br />
your generation.<br />
Keep learning new things. This is one of<br />
13. the most underrated virtues and a prerequisite<br />
for mental health. And it doesn’t have<br />
to be a new language, or a musical instrument, if<br />
you don’t have the time.<br />
New words, games. ideas, philosophies etc.<br />
Reading a random wiki page everyday, solving<br />
crossword or sudoku can be equally refreshing<br />
for the brain.<br />
Be prepared for the unexpected. Life is<br />
14. what happens when we are busy making<br />
other plans. It may not necessarily be unpleasant<br />
or bad but even if it is, try to handle it in<br />
the best possible manner.<br />
Pick up an athletic hobby that you can<br />
02. do through the years, or your sedentary<br />
academic lifestyle will do horrible things to your<br />
posture, back, and gut.<br />
Learn how to deal with interpersonal<br />
03. conflicts. Read Crucial Conversations<br />
and practice it’s a life changer<br />
Learn how to talk on the phone with people<br />
you don’t know. It still terrifies most<br />
04.<br />
people. You could use some of your free time to<br />
read about ways to conquer the fear. The best<br />
way to conquer your fear though is constant<br />
practice.<br />
Start some kind of little side venture to<br />
05. learn entrepreneurial principles. Pursue<br />
your passion. Even if you fail, you at least tried.<br />
Buy and sell stuff on Craigslist, do anything. You<br />
might need them if you’re in between jobs. Your<br />
spare time could be put to good use.<br />
Take a course on your favourite subject<br />
06. and other topics that are very new to<br />
you. It will force you to expand your world view<br />
on different topics that could be of importance<br />
in the future.<br />
Meditate. Preferably every morning. If<br />
07. you can’t do that at least ensure that you<br />
quieten your mind for 10 mins during the day.<br />
Don’t think about anything. Just listen to yourself<br />
breathe. And BE.<br />
Sort out your thoughts, verbalize them,<br />
08. and then write down what comes to<br />
mind. Take time to think through ideas, projects<br />
or your interests and enjoy the peace that<br />
comes with just doing nothing for a short period<br />
of time.<br />
Take an interest in psychology. Psychology<br />
helps us analyze our thoughts and<br />
10.<br />
actions, and helps us understand our own motivations.<br />
If you want to improve, you must first be<br />
capable of looking at yourself from an objective<br />
point of view, from outside yourself.<br />
Create good habits. Our ability to improve<br />
is largely determined by our hab-<br />
11.<br />
its. Our habits influence the way we respond to<br />
any given situation, and ultimately they define<br />
how efficient we can become. Work on your<br />
habits and on your willpower, constantly.<br />
Travel. Explore. Experiment. The more<br />
12. things you will explore more experience<br />
you will have. And these experiences will cherish<br />
you, in future. So earn them, before it is too late.<br />
Do not be afraid to take risks.<br />
Keep improving in the field you are best<br />
15. at. Focus on what fascinates you most.<br />
The more you know about the topics that are<br />
close to your heart, the more you will be able to<br />
benefit from it in the future. Choose yourself and<br />
develop that passion today.<br />
Balance in life is essential. Don’t overdo,<br />
don’t neglect. Like when playing a<br />
16.<br />
stringed instrument, the string must not be too<br />
loose or you don’t get any music from it. If it’s<br />
too tight, it can break. When just right, it can be<br />
the source of magnificent music.<br />
Balance is the key: rest and activity; diving deep<br />
within and plunging into activity. Swing between<br />
silence and dynamism, rest and activity. All<br />
should be there, all in proper balance.<br />

ON THE<br />
COUCH<br />
WITH<br />
KALYBOS
TIME WITH KALYBOS<br />
GH STAR: Good afternoon sir, how are you?<br />
KALYBOS: I am fine, thank you.<br />
GH STAR: In your own words, who is Richard<br />
Asante?<br />
KALYBOS: Richard is Kalybos the only BOS<br />
with one “S” (giggles). Well, Richard is the only<br />
son and latter child of Mr. Peter Mensa Owusu<br />
and Mrs. Felicia Owusu of blessed memory, an<br />
Ashanti from Kumasi Eyigya and a very good<br />
Christian for that matter.<br />
GH STAR: Can you share with us some challenges<br />
you faced while growing up?<br />
KALYBOS: I wouldn’t term it as challenges rather<br />
a challenge which is the lack of motherly<br />
love. I lost my mother at a tender age. Though<br />
I substituted it with love and affection from my<br />
dad and sisters, it could never suffice that of a<br />
mother’s love which I never had.<br />
GH STAR: Our condolences.<br />
KALYBOS: It is well.<br />
GH STAR: Can you share with us how you<br />
managed to get into the industry?<br />
KALYBOS: As a result of observing my father<br />
do his own thing, I became obsessed with<br />
the use of cameras. Consequently, the passion<br />
began to grow in me .After high school,<br />
I began to work with Sparrow Productions<br />
where I assisted John Pasa who nurtured<br />
me in photography so I enrolled into National<br />
Film and Television Institute (NAFTI) to<br />
study cinematography.<br />
GH STAR: So why comic acting?<br />
KALYBOS: I chose comedy because I wanted<br />
to be part of those who could wipe the<br />
tear of a distressed Ghanaian. I felt the urge<br />
to make people happy and help release tension<br />
so we begun the Boys Kasa Sketch. It<br />
was an idea brought up by a group including<br />
the producer-director Kofi Asamoah, Aho)<br />
f3 Patri and me. We made it global and free<br />
to make it accessible to all<br />
GH STAR <strong>MAGAZINE</strong><br />

“THE ONLY BOS<br />
WITH ONE S”<br />
GH STAR: Are some of the decisions you made<br />
back then influencing your present life?<br />
KALYBOS: Not really, especially back in high<br />
school. I studied building and construction<br />
hoping to be an architect. Contrarily; I branched<br />
into acting which is a complete divergence.<br />
GH STAR: What inspired you to pursue your<br />
dream?<br />
KALYBOS: I inherited it from my father who is a<br />
professional photographer. While growing up,<br />
I observed how he manipulated his camera, it<br />
was so inspiring that I fell in love with his work<br />
and now I find myself doing the same thing<br />
and even more.<br />
GH STAR: How long have you been in the industry?<br />
KALYBOS: I can say that I was born into the<br />
industry as a result of my father’s occupation<br />
GH STAR: We believe you are versatile, multi<br />
talented, you are on TV radio. What is your<br />
secret?<br />
KALYBOS: Talented? To some extent I would<br />
say yes because it takes a talented person<br />
to be both in front and behind the camera.<br />
My secret is just one and that is God accompanied<br />
by observation is what has brought<br />
me this far. I couldn’t have made it without<br />
his help.<br />
GH STAR: Which celebrities do you believe<br />
are the most influential?<br />
KALYBOS: I really admire people with natural<br />
talent and I think Kwaku Sintim Misa (KSM)<br />
as well as Funny Face is the best match. I<br />
admire how they articulate their vision to<br />
make it a reality.<br />
GH STAR: Where do you see yourself in the<br />
competition of acting?<br />
KALYBOS: Honestly I see myself as a beginner<br />
who has a lot to learn. People sometimes<br />
wonder why I don’t do stand-up comedy<br />
but personally I think am not there yet,<br />
as at now am into comic acting. Stand-up<br />
comedy takes more practice than usual to<br />
get there so I can say am still in the learning<br />
process.<br />
GH STAR: Who do you love more, friends,<br />
family or yourself?<br />
KALYBOS: I love myself, I know<br />
you may be thinking that it’s a selfish<br />
answer but no its not. I believe<br />
if a person loves himself it gives<br />
him an opportunity to open up to<br />
show others that he really is in order<br />
to be appreciated and loved<br />
back. Hating yourself means you<br />
do not believe in yourself.<br />
GH STAR: Share with us your<br />
likes and dislikes in terms of food,<br />
women, music etc<br />
KALYBOS: I LOVE FOOD- infact I<br />
think it’s my only weakness specifically<br />
fufu. For Women anything<br />
goes so long as she’s a<br />
good cook.<br />
GH STAR: Do you have hobbies?<br />
KALYBOS: I do have hobbies and<br />
the primary one is swimming, it’s<br />
a form of exercise for me and<br />
helps in blood circulation and<br />
I will personally recommend it<br />
for stroke patients. I love being<br />
in doors watching movies that<br />
builds my cognition”<br />
GH STAR: Who is your celebrity<br />
crush?<br />
KALYBOS: My celebrity crush is<br />
Angelina Jolie. However in Ghana,<br />
it’s a combination of celebrities<br />
such as Rachael, Afia, Jocelyn,<br />
and Becca. So honestly, I like<br />
them all especially natural people<br />
like Becca and Ahuofe Patricia”<br />
GH STAR: What projects are you<br />
currently working on?<br />
KALYBOS: Currently I am working<br />
on my second movie that is ‘Kalybos<br />
in China’ and a couple of TV<br />
series that<br />
are being aired like ‘Guy Guy’ currently<br />
on GTV as well as the ‘Boys<br />
Kasa’ sketch.<br />
GH STAR: Where do you see yourself<br />
in the next 10 years?<br />
KALYBOS: In Accra (giggles): Married<br />
with two stubborn kids, to be<br />
successful in my career, establish<br />
a crèche and a film school. I would<br />
also like to go international.<br />
GH STAR: What advise will you<br />
give to the upcoming generation?<br />
KALYBOS: To the upcoming comedians<br />
remember a thousand<br />
miles begin with a step! Nothing<br />
comes off easily; never give up.<br />
With perseverance and passion<br />
as a bedrock you can make it.<br />
GH STAR: Thank you very much<br />
and enjoy your day.<br />
KALYBOS: You are most welcome

5 tips to make your hair grow faster<br />
Any woman’s wish is to have a long, healthy<br />
and beautiful hair. However, hair takes its<br />
time to grow and we don’t usually tend to<br />
wait for it. We feel the need to do something<br />
about it. There’s countless options we can<br />
follow, to speed our hair’s healthy growth. There’s<br />
no such thing as magical potions to make it grow<br />
suddenly though. If your purpose is to make your<br />
hair grow from a shoulder’s length hair to mid<br />
back length hair quickly, I’m afraid you won’t get it.<br />
Technically all you can actually do, is to apply hair<br />
extensions, clip on ponytails or long wigs.<br />
If you know what patience means though, there’s<br />
a couple of tips you can follow to maximize all<br />
your hair’s potential and consequently make it<br />
grow slightly faster than usual. Here are my 5 tips<br />
to make your hair grow faster!<br />
01. PRACTICE GOOD HAIR HABITS<br />
If you want to have your hair grow faster, you need<br />
healthy hair. Good hair habits will help you avoid<br />
damaging your hair and keep it healthy.<br />
Here some good practices:<br />
1. Use a brush with natural boar bristles.<br />
2. Don’t braid or put your hair in a ponytail when it<br />
is still wet.<br />
3. Avoid chemical treatments such as bleaching,<br />
perms, coloring or highlighting.<br />
4. Minimize heat styling with things such as hot<br />
combs, hair dryers and curling irons.<br />
5. Although the best thing to do, is to avoid using<br />
heat styling, it is still important to dry your hairs<br />
roots after washing it. I learnt this with a specialized<br />
doctor. The roots of our hair take a long time<br />
to dry whenever we wash it, between 2 and 3 days<br />
actually. Therefore, it is extremely important to<br />
dry it with a hair dryer. Do not forget the important<br />
thing to is, is to dry your hairs roots, not the ends.<br />
If you leave the ends wet, is no big deal.<br />
02. MAINTAIN A HEALTHY DIET<br />
Eating well and healthy is really important. You<br />
must eat lots of fruits and vegetables. You<br />
should also do a diet based on proteins. Since<br />
hair is protein, a diet that is too low in protein<br />
may cause some thinning hair or a retardation in<br />
the growth cycle. For instance, fish, eggs, beans<br />
or yogurt, are filled with protein. Soy protein has<br />
also been found to be helpful in stimulating hair<br />
growth.<br />
Remember, beauty comes from the inside. In a<br />
way, you are what you eat. If you feed yourself<br />
lots of healthy nourishing foods your body will<br />
reflect this.<br />
03. FLAXSEED OIL<br />
Flax Seed Oil is a blue flowering plant that is<br />
grown on the Western Canadian Prairies for its<br />
oil rich seeds. This natural oil is highly recommended<br />
for the general well being and whole<br />
body nutrition. It is a natural acids source that<br />
are essential to keep our body healthy.<br />
They are also good for the heart, reducing the<br />
risk of coronary heart disease. The recommended<br />
daily dose for most people is at least1,000 mg<br />
taken one to three times daily. Therefore, if you<br />
don’t eat much fish, you must take the Flax Seed<br />
Oil supply in order to help your body have all the<br />
vitamins you need and consequently speed up<br />
your hairs growth.<br />
5 tips to make your hair grow faster<br />
GH STAR <strong>MAGAZINE</strong><br />
04. KEEP IT TRIMMED!<br />
To cut your split end is very important. When<br />
you ignore split ends, it ends up leaving you<br />
with shorter hair due to breakage. Damage<br />
to your hair will move up from the ends and<br />
the only way to stop it in its tracks is to remove<br />
it as soon as it happens. Do not forget<br />
the hair starts growing from the root, not<br />
the ends. Therefore, whenever the split ends<br />
are cut, your hair follicle is working less to<br />
repair split, dead ends and working more in<br />
the root. If you cut the ends frequently, your<br />
hair will grow faster and healthier. Trust me,<br />
it’s true!<br />
It’s always easy to talk though. It’s hard to<br />
put it into action. I hate having to trim my<br />
hair when I have worked so hard on making<br />
it long! But it’s a need that will bring good<br />
results in a long-term time. Just be patient<br />
05. MASSAGE THE SCALP<br />
Always give yourself a scalp massage. You<br />
will want to massage your hair’s at least<br />
three times a week. Use the tips of your<br />
hands and firmly massage your scalp. Make<br />
sure you cover the entire head. With a good<br />
scalp massage you increase blood circulation<br />
which enriches skin with essential nutrients<br />
and oxygen. After a massage actively<br />
circulating blood brings the nutrients to do<br />
hair’s follicles. Besides, massage helps to<br />
relax and improves the strength of the roots.<br />

WELCOME TO THE WECHIAU COMMUNITY<br />
HIPPO SANCTUARY WEB PAGE @ ARU<br />
STUDIOS<br />
The Wechiau Community<br />
Hippo Sanctuary is located<br />
in the Upper West Region<br />
of Ghana. The Sanctuary is<br />
a community effort that continues<br />
to shine brightly as a success<br />
story for conservation that<br />
protects one of only two hippo<br />
ponds that live in the Volta River,<br />
Ghana. The people of the Wechiau<br />
traditional area established<br />
the community operated sanctuary<br />
in 1999. The writer, Norman’s<br />
introduction to the Wechiau<br />
Community Hippo Sanctuary<br />
came through the Calgary Zoo,<br />
partners in the award winning<br />
project. After visiting Wechiau, I<br />
saw first-hand how the effort to<br />
protect the hippos have not only<br />
created a better environment for<br />
the habitat but also has improved<br />
the communities that reside within<br />
the sanctuary. There is something<br />
magical about Wechiau, to<br />
visit the communities that make<br />
the sanctuary a better place for all<br />

in the Black Volta River. The<br />
Calgary Zoo partnered with the<br />
communities of the Wechiau<br />
region to establish the Wechiau<br />
Community Hippo Sanctuary.<br />
The symbiotic relationship between<br />
the people and the hippos<br />
continues to evolve to this<br />
day. To protect the hippos and<br />
their habitat, the people of this<br />
region of Upper West Ghana<br />
made great sacrifices. Many of<br />
the villages within the sanctuary<br />
moved away from the river<br />
to create a feeding/buffer zone<br />
for the Hippos, this was a huge<br />
undertaking. How can moving<br />
away from water and managof<br />
its inhabitants is special. “Norman<br />
Nemeth. Norman’s travels<br />
have taken him on two occasions<br />
to Wechiau, once in 2007 and then<br />
2009. The Wechiau Community<br />
Hippo Sanctuary is running a<br />
40km stretch of the Black Volta<br />
River bordering Burkino Faso in<br />
North West Ghana. Norman has<br />
visited Wechiau twice, once in<br />
2007 and again in 2009.<br />
HISTORY OF THE<br />
WECHIAU COMMUNITY<br />
HIPPO SANCTUARY<br />
“The history of the Wechiau<br />
Community Hippo Sanctuary<br />
and how it has evolved is an incredible<br />
story. This summary of<br />
Wechiau is a collection of tit bits<br />
and articles that I have gathered<br />
to share my passion for all things<br />
Wechiau.”- Norman Nemeth.<br />
The people of the Wechiau, according<br />
to local legend, began<br />
a special bond with the hippos<br />
long ago. The following quote is<br />
from Legend of Wechiau Guide<br />
Book-People of the Wechiau<br />
Community Hippo Sanctuary {<br />
WCHS}, chapter two. “During the<br />
slave trade our people were running<br />
away to avoid being captured.<br />
They reached the Black<br />
Volta River and didn’t know how<br />
to cross. Then they saw the hippos.<br />
The hippos let the people<br />
go onto their backs and carried<br />
them across the river to safety.<br />
When the enemy came they<br />
saw only water and rocks. They<br />
tried to cross on the rocks,<br />
but, the rocks were in fact hippos!<br />
Once a good number of<br />
the enemy were standing on<br />
top of the hippos, the animals<br />
moved and the enemy fell into<br />
the river and perished. As a result,<br />
the hippo has become a<br />
sacred animal.”-Gurungu-Naa,<br />
Naa Bandanaa Chielinah II. It is<br />
the ancestors of both the people<br />
of Wechiau and the hippos<br />
that have created a bond that<br />
requires mutual efforts in protecting<br />
one another. The Black<br />
Volta River is home to only two<br />
surviving ponds of hippos found<br />
ing the environment benefit the<br />
people? The communities that<br />
reside within the Wechiau Community<br />
Hippo Sanctuary have<br />
benefited in investors such as<br />
the Calgary Zoo Conservation<br />
Outreach, NCRC, and there are<br />
supporters as far away as Canada<br />
and England. Eco-tourism is<br />
very well executed in Wechiau,<br />
with managing the environment<br />
the people of the Wechiau Community<br />
Hippo Sanctuary has<br />
become a shining example of<br />
conservation. Since the birth of<br />
the sanctuary 17 bore holes for<br />
water, 540 solar light systems<br />
for people’s homes, two Primary<br />
schools and a clinic are realities.<br />
Protecting the hippos has led to<br />
many developments that provide<br />
the benefits that both the<br />
environment and people of the<br />
sanctuary enjoy. In 2008 the<br />
Wechiau Community Hippo<br />
Sanctuary received two awards<br />
from the United Nations Equator<br />
Prize. The awards recognize<br />
the best examples of reducing<br />
poverty through bio diversity.<br />
“To visit Wechiau and see firsthand<br />
how a community has<br />
created industry while protecting<br />
the environment is amazing.<br />
To be part of the communities<br />
that support the development of<br />
the Wechiau Community Hippo<br />
Sanctuary is special. I will always<br />

Rumors!!!! Is Becca And Bisa Kdei In A Secret Affair?<br />
If what Bisa Kdei and Becca communicated<br />
on instagram is anything to go by, then we<br />
can say that the two artistes are in a romantic<br />
relationship. Bisa Kdei who might be singing<br />
Sarkodie and Akwaboah’s newly released<br />
song “Mewu” could not hide his feeling of<br />
missing the sexy songstress who has been<br />
away from him for a while. Bisa Kdei took to<br />
instagram to make it publicly known under<br />
‘‘I think Jay Foley May Be Worshiping Another<br />
‘God’’ - [+Yaa Pono+]<br />
Ghanaian Radio and TV personality<br />
Jay Foley described<br />
one time BET Award winner<br />
Sarkodie as a ‘god’ He made<br />
his proclamation while away<br />
at Los Angeles venue for the<br />
2015 BET Awards; Grammy<br />
Museum after watching<br />
Stonebwoy and Sarkodie<br />
take their turns on stage.<br />
This is what he wrote on his<br />
Facebook page “Yesterday,<br />
once again, at the Grammy<br />
Museum here in Los Angeles<br />
California, Sarkodie is a<br />
god. Yes I’ve said it.” But to<br />
one of the finest rappers of<br />
our time; Kojo Asare, popularly<br />
known as Yaa Pono with<br />
the hit song “Amen”,he thinks<br />
“Amen” thinks that Jay Foley may<br />

communication which happened between<br />
the two musicians caught the attention of<br />
their followers. Few minutes after the two<br />

intention of deleting those comments, people<br />
were standing by capturing everything he<br />
was writing.<br />
entertainment extra show in<br />
Sunyani “Everyone and the<br />
kind of God he or she worships.<br />
I can’t begrudge Jay<br />

inspires him. He may be worshiping<br />
another ‘god’ which<br />
he sees in Sarkodie “,Yaa<br />
