Ghanaian actor Prince David Osei spotted in his new look Ghanaian actor Prince David Osei spotted in his new look

Prince David Osei has joined the growing list of male celebrities who have recently enhanced their looks, as he has undergone a hair transplant.

He is the second Ghanaian actor to have a hair transplant, following his colleague, Harold Amenyah.

Prince David Osei’s procedure took place at a clinic in Lagos, Nigeria, which also has a branch in Ghana. Excerpts of the procedure; from start to finish, were shared on the clinic’s social media handles.

In the video, Prince David Osei, whose hairline had receded, was seen undergoing the process, from the markings on his forehead and the creation of the hairline design to the extraction process and the shaping of his new hairline.

The result of the surgery showed Prince David Osei with a perfectly outlined hairline, sparking a stir among netizens.

The actor, in an aftermath post, has shared a picture of himself ‘chilling’ in the United States, drawing mixed reactions from followers.

While some admired his new look, others criticised the decision, labeling it unnecessary and a waste of money.

The clinic where Prince David Osei underwent the procedure has also treated popular Nigerian actors such as Charles Okocha, IK Ogbonna, and Anthony Monjaro, among others.

NPP set to storm Owusu-Bempah’s church to kneel and beg for his forgiveness to return to the party

Leader of Glorious Word Power Ministry International, Rev. Isaac Owusu-Bempah play videoLeader of Glorious Word Power Ministry International, Rev. Isaac Owusu-Bempah

Paul Kwabena Yandoh, the Ashanti Regional Communications Director of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has called on all regional communication directorates of the party to visit the church of the Founder and Leader of Glorious Word Power Ministry International, Rev. Isaac Owusu-Bempah, to apologize to him and request his return to the party.

According to him, the party neglected Rev. Isaac Owusu-Bempah, who was very influential in the party’s success in 2016 and 2020, but the party turned its back on him when he had a police case.

“I was the one in the viral video apologizing to Rev. Isaac Owusu-Bempah, and I will apologize to him until… I have also told all the regional communication directors to go to his church and kneel down to beg him for forgiveness so that he can come back to the NPP.

“If you look at the politics we are doing in the country, everyone has their role to play. We go to the mallams, pastors, shrines, and all sorts of places because these people vote, so if we go to them, they will support us,” he said.

Speaking in an interview on Okay FM on January 21, 2025, he explained that the NPP had not treated the man of God fairly, and as a result, they needed to apologize for mistreating him.

“If you trace Rev. Isaac Owusu-Bempah’s prophecies, all that he has said has come to pass, especially before the 2016 elections. He said Nana Addo would win, and he did.

“In 2020, he also said Nana would win again, and he did, but in 2024, he consistently said the NPP would lose abysmally, and it still happened as he said,” he added.

Rev. Isaac Owusu-Bempah prophesied a win for the NPP in the 2016 and 2020 elections, which materialized.

However, in the 2024 general elections, he declared that the NPP would lose to the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

The Electoral Commission Chairperson, Jean Mensa, on Monday, December 9, declared John Mahama, the NDC candidate for the 2024 general election, the winner, with a total of 6,328,397 votes.

Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia of the NPP received 4,657,304 votes.

Mahama’s party, the NDC, achieved historic success by gaining a majority in Parliament.

Trump’s second inauguration draws $1.3 trillion in billionaire support

A who’s who of the world’s wealthiest people surrounded President Donald Trump as he took the oath of office — gathering a combined net worth exceeding $1.3 trillion for the occasion.

Seated prominently behind the Trump family for Monday’s swearing-in were the top three individuals on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index: Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg.

Also spotted inside the Capitol Rotunda for the inaugural ceremony were LVMH Chief Executive Officer and France’s richest man, Bernard Arnault, Alphabet Inc. co-founder Sergey Brin and Las Vegas Sands Corp. majority owner Miriam Adelson.

In a telling gesture, the tech billionaires were seated in front of Trump’s nominated Cabinet. Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth had to crane past Musk and Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai to watch the proceedings.

“It’s important to bring some of the brightest minds in the world together,” Donald Trump Jr. said when asked after the ceremony about the presence of tech billionaires.

The phalanx of deep-pocketed attendees highlighted a surge in support for Trump from Silicon Valley, Wall Street and other industries following his comeback victory in November’s election. At stake for many of their businesses is the promise of relief from US regulations and the hope of a boost to their corporate bottom lines from Trump’s pledge to spur investment. Others are hoping to avoid the worst of the fallout from tariffs that the president has vowed to use as an instrument of economic policy.

Embracing Trump marks a turnabout for some business leaders, who had recoiled from him four years ago following the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol by hundreds of his supporters. Yet Trump’s pariah status faded as odds increased toward his election on a business-friendly message that included an extension of tax cuts enacted in 2017 during his first term in office.

Out of all those present, Musk has put perhaps the most into Trump’s return to the White House. The Tesla Inc. CEO spent more than $200 million of his personal fortune on the president’s campaign, quickly emerging as an influential adviser to Trump and taking a role as head of a government-efficiency initiative.

Musk also has a lot at stake with the new administration, with reducing government regulation and boosting access to space contracts key for his businesses. After hearing Trump invoke plans during his inaugural address to send US astronauts to Mars, the SpaceX CEO pumped his fists in the air. Colonizing Mars has been a longtime ambition of Musk.

Present in the crowd as well were hedge fund billionaire John Paulson, conservative media mogul Rupert Murdoch and Apple Inc. CEO Tim Cook, who enjoyed a cordial relationship with the president during his first term. On Sunday, during a rally at Capital One Arena on the eve of Trump’s swearing-in, Cook received a shout-out from the incoming president, who said Apple had planned an unspecified investment in the US.

The billionaires waited in line along with lawmakers and other top officials to head into a celebratory post-inaugural luncheon at the Capitol. At one point, Bezos emerged with his fiancée Lauren Sanchez. Asked for his thoughts on Trump’s speech, Bezos responded: “Oh, I don’t know, I’m looking for a restroom.”

At the luncheon, Cook was seen seated next to incoming Attorney General Pam Bondi, while Bezos sat with Republican Senate Majority Leader John Thune. Republican Senator Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia got a photo of herself with Meta’s Zuckerberg.

Since the election, Zuckerberg has openly pivoted the social-media giant to align more closely with Trump and the new Republican majorities in Congress. He’s dropped a third-party fact-checking system in the US, following conservative complaints about censorship, and abandoned many of the company’s diversity and inclusion efforts.

Another closely watched guest was TikTok CEO Shou Chew, whose company’s fate rests in Trump’s hands. The president has promised to issue an executive order sparing the app from a ban that was to have taken effect on Sunday over the refusal by its Chinese parent company, ByteDance Ltd, to divest.

Trump, who initially sought to ban TikTok in his first term, has since found the social media platform to be an effective conduit to young voters and vowed to find a way to cut a deal that would keep it alive.

My expectations were not met – Dan Kwaku Yeboah on Kofi Adams' nomination

0

Renowned sports journalist Dan Kwaku Yeboah has stated that he does not know Minister-designate of Sports and Recreation, Kofi Adams, to be someone knowledgeable in sports.

According to him, he has known Adams since his university days, when Adams was a tutor at Adisadel College and an active member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

However, Kwaku Yeboah indicated that the Member of Parliament for Buem constituency is known for his political exploits, not his involvement in the sports sector.

Speaking on Peace FM, Kwaku Yeboah asserted that Adams’ nomination came as a surprise to him.

“While I was working at ATL Radio, he [Kofi Adams] was also teaching chemistry at Adisadel College, while working for the NDC. He was a spokesperson for President Rawlings before rising to become an MP.

“However, I cannot vouch for his knowledge and expertise in sports, even though he is a competent person in what he does,” he said in Twi.

The Peace FM journalist noted that he expected former MP for Odododiodio constituency, Nii Lante Vanderpuye, to get the nod to run the sports ministry due to his experience as a sports broadcaster and administrator.

“In all honesty, my expectation was Nii Lante Vanderpuye, because he has done it before as an accomplished sports broadcaster. Since we don’t have the power to appoint, we only share our opinions. We wish Adams the best,” he added.

This comes after President John Dramani Mahama nominated Kofi Adams, as the Minister-designate of Sports and Recreation.

In a statement released on January 21, 2024, it was noted that Adams will spearhead affairs in the sports sector, as well as recreational activities.

His nomination is pending parliamentary approval after he undergoes the vetting process by the Parliamentary Appointment Committee and is duly cleared as qualified to handle the role.
