I&#8217;m working on my own restaurant and shisha lounge so small small. It is in Ghana. It has to be here. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It (Nursing) wasn\u2019t something that I was happy doing. Like it was something, even though it\u2019s nice to help people, that\u2019s not where my field was. I just felt I had to do what I love best and that is music. I still can help anybody so far as I got my degree and certificates. I can still open my hospital in Ghana and help kids,\u201d she explained in an interview with Pulse Ghana. <\/p>\n<p>Born Francesca Duncan Williams, the 23-year-old shot into the limelight with her 2015 single &#8216;Krokro No&#8217; which featured rapper, Kofi Kinaata. <\/p>\n<p>She has since then released many other hits including the popular &#8216;Jeje&#8217; track featuring Shatta Wale.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 3 updated by: 3 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entertainment of Wednesday, 25 October 2017 Source: yen.com.gh 2017-10-25 Sista Afia &#13; Afro-pop singer, Sista Afia says she has quit her lucrative job in the United Kingdom (UK) to resettle in Ghana.
