Dump the ‘old wine’ and go for the ‘new’ - Mahama advised
Motivational Speaker Charles Sam says President John Mahama as a new generational leader must do away with the “old wine” in his government and rope in the “new wine”.
“…There are some practices of the old that must be stopped. Who falls in the trap; who falls under the whip, too bad. But the truth of the matter is that we show clear difference from the past and move on and especially for President Mahama because he is a new generation man and he has said so himself”, the Golden Future promotions CEO said on his programme ONE Nation on Radio XYZ.
According to him, “a new generation man should not be operating with old win but must be operating with new wine. That’s very important because you cannot put old wine in a new day, a new era, that won’t work”.
Mr Sam said all leaders in the country, irrespective of political party affiliation, must learn to start operating the same.
He condemned the main opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) for allowing its internal party politics to degenerate to a game of insults on the airwaves, ahead of its national election.
“…You look at some of the things happening in some of the parties, some of the things they are saying on the airwaves and I can’t believe that young people are in this country. “…And I’m speaking about the NPP. God have mercy. I can’t understand some of the things that are being said on the airwaves. Why, is there no maturity to discuss things? What examples are you giving to the younger people?….You want power from us and look at the conduct”.
Las Vegas based Ghanaian physician indicted
LAS VEGAS -- A federal grand jury indicted a Las Vegas physician on
charges that he unlawfully prescribed large quantities of oxycodone and
other highly addictive prescription drugs, Nevada's U.S. Attorney
Daniel Bogden said Friday.
Dr. Victor Bruce, 48, was charged Wednesday with one count of conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance, and was arrested in Las Vegas Friday morning. He is scheduled to appear before U.S. Magistrate Judge Nancy Koppe this afternoon for an initial appearance, arraignment and plea.
"Our office will continue working aggressively with our federal, state and local law enforcement partners to attack the growing problem of prescription drug abuse," Bogden said. "Our federal and local law enforcement partners will continue to prioritize these unlawful prescription drug distribution cases and continue working to shut down dangerous unlawful "pill mill" operations."
According to the indictment, Bruce operates Swanlake Medical Center at 3330 South Hualapai Way and represents himself to be a pain management specialist. It is alleged that Bruce prescribed large quantities of oxycodone and other prescription drugs without medical necessity, knowing they were going to be illegally diverted. Bruce allegedly conspired with local drug dealers to distribute the medication to Las Vegas area customers who abused the drugs.
If convicted, Bruce faces up to 20 years in prison and $1 million in fines.
This case is being investigated by the Nevada High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area Pharm-Net Task Force, which includes federal and local law enforcement agencies. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Crane Pomerantz and Cristina Silva.

Really? Jamaican Reggae star, Eric Donaldson says Ghana should legalise ganga live on TV!!!
Eric Donaldson is in Ghana for the first time for a concert dubbed ‘Big Man Dance’ to be held tonight, at the plush Mensivc Hotel in Accra for very important personalities (VIPs) as well as February 5 at the La beach, organized by Moscow 1 entertainment and powered by Ghana’s power station, Radio Gold.
Appearing on ETV’s Late Night Celebrity Show on Friday 31st Jan, 2014 to talk about the concert, the host, Dzifa Affanie, asked Eric how he gets inspired to write his songs. Eric replied “well I don’t write my songs. Sometimes I get the songs and the rhythms while smoking and drinking.”
The host followed up; do you still drink at your age? “I used to drink but stopped about 5 years ago. I used to drink Guinness a lot but stopped because I once went to urinate and nothing came out. I went to the doctor and I was told I have gall stones. Since then, I stopped drinking Guinness” Eric said.
Shocked, Dzifa asked Eric what he smokes; “I smoke what takes people to jail. What is that? Dzifa asked. “Yes I smoke what people smoke and go to jail. I smoke ganja. Yes I smoke ganja a lot” Eric Donaldson revealed.
Dzifa asked Eric if the smoking of ganja should be legalized and Eric said “smoking of ganja should be legalized.” Dzifa made the point that ganja is not good and so should not be legalized but Eric reiterated “ganja should be legalized.
“It is good for some and not good for others. Some people can ride bicycles but others can’t. Some drive bicycles and crush but others don’t. Those who crush don’t have what it takes to use the bicycles. I smoke ganja. It’s good! It brings out creativity from the head” Eric said.
Eric went further to reveal that at age 66, he’s given birth to 7 children with 5 different women. He described marriage “as a life sentence” hence, his decision of not marrying any of the women he had children with. He also said at age 66, he has many girlfriends and even currently, he is dating a 19 year old girl. Finally, Eric declared that he does not care what people say about him after his death.
Similarly, on 5th March 2013 Independence eve at the Ohene Djan Stadium, was a concert organized by Charterhouse for RLG to mark the Hope City Concert with American R&B singer Chris Brown as the headline artiste.
During his performance, Chris Brown stopped and asked if there were wee smokers in Ghana. “How many of y’all smoke weed?” he asked. He further advised the audience “if anybody is tripping on you smoking weed, f**k them.”Chris Brown went ahead and smoked (the weed) on stage.
While cheers erupted, the DJ played a voice recording, talking as if it was Chris’ conscience talking, asking him why he was smoking. Chris ignored the voices, pulled out his own blunt and lit up, puffing in front of the audience while the DJ played a medley of songs that promotes smoking or getting high through the loud speakers.
Oh Mother Ghana! Is this how loose our society is? Foreigners come to our soil and without any respect to our legal and societal norms or donts, spew rubbish and get away with it.
The host who should have done the sensible thing by educating Eric that ganja is an illicit drug per Ghana’s laws, kept silent on it and made Eric’s comments seem as though it’s no big deal.
Ghana’s Section 5 of narcotic drugs [Control Enforcement and Sanctions] Act, 1990 stipulates that “a person shall not, without lawful authority or excuse, smoke, sniff, consume, inject into the body or otherwise administer a narcotic drug on the body of that person.’
I blame Eric Donaldson but not much. Big chunk of my blame goes to our organizers who bring foreigners to Ghana but fail in orienting the latter on our legal and moral tenets.
To our event organizers, I say “school foreigners about Ghana before bringing them here, else someday, they get you into serious criminal or civil case by their words or conducts.” Until then…MOTWUM!!

Rihanna: “I Can’t Say I Am a Role Model…I Always Made that Point” on Criticism
Rihanna is living life on her own terms.
To promote her new Mac Cosmetics line, USA Today caught up with the music superstar. Ri Ri dished on her creative side, being philanthropic and the non stop criticism.
While addressing the fact that people think she’s music’s other resident wild child, here’s what she had to say;
“I think they think I’m drunk all the time. I think they think I am always partying, that my house is probably a party all the time with tons of people and tons of music and no clothes. I think that’s what they think. I’m actually very laid back. I love watching TV on a big old couch by myself. I love to swim in the ocean or the pool.”
With the success of her three sold-out
collections for Mac Cosmetics’ first celebrity “creative partner”,
scoring an animated role alongside Jennifer Lopez and Steve Martin, one can clearly call her a role model as he breaks from the usual box.
Rihanna was quick with her reply; “I
don’t like to use that word because people have their own opinion on
what that means to them. I can’t really say I’m a role model. I’m not
perfect. I’m not trying to sell that. I want people to have fun but be
responsible, protect themselves and be in control of your life. You can
never judge people. I always made that a point. You never know what
someone is going through.”.
Ri Ri concludes that she’s only living in the moment. “It’s
in the moment. Even sometimes I go back to my Instagram and I’m like,
‘Did I really post this?’ I never know. One day I would never post this
type of picture. A week later, I like this post,” she says. “It’s when
I’m bored. It’s in the moment.”

Parents of deceased hip-life artiste, Ronnie Coaches are reported to have clashed over the mortal remains of the late Buk Bak group member.
Ronnie, 36, died on November 21, 2013 at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital after suffering a heart attack.
The mortal remains of the musician, also known in real life as Ronnie Nii Quarshikumah Quainoo, are expected to be laid to rest on Saturday, February 1, 2014 but from indications, all is not going well.
According to eyewitnesses, there was some confusion at the Bubuashie residences of both Ronnie's mother, Lilly, and father, Decarlo Coaches Quainoo Friday, as soon as the mortal remains of the late musician were conveyed from Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital morgue.
The source said, as soon as the body arrived in the vicinity where his parents live - their houses are separated by a street - both of them insisted the remains be brought to their homes.
Reports say after several minutes of a near tussle between the two factions as to who has the right to the body, an unnamed relative managed move the body to safety.
It still unclear the whereabouts of the remains of the musician.
The family is expected to hold a Wake-keeping at the National Theatre on Friday, January 31 and the body is expected to be at the venue to be laid in state.
The remains of the late musician will be interred at the Osu Cemetery on February 1, to be followed by a memorial service at the Success Chapel, Bubuashie in Accra on Sunday, February 2. Credit.Ernest Dela

Ramphele to join the DA, or not?
This from mg.co.za:
Agang SA leader Mamphela Ramphele has rejected a joint statement issued by the DA in which it claims Ramphele will accept DA membership on Monday.
Confusion arose on Friday over Agang SA leader Mamphela Ramphele’s joining the Democratic Alliance.
According to a joint statement issued by Ramphele and DA leader Helen Zille on Friday Ramphele would be welcomed into the DA at a press conference in Johannesburg on Monday.
The DA and Agang SA would next week formalise the integration of the two parties following Ramphele’s decision to stand as the official opposition’s presidential candidate in this year’s general elections.
However, following the joint statement being issued, a message from Ramphele was uploaded onto Agang SA’s website.
“You may have by now seen ‘joint’ statements issued by the Democratic Alliance in which it is claimed that I will be accepting DA membership on Monday,” she said.
“This is not true. Nor did I agree to any such statement. It is Agang SA’s position that the technical committee must first complete its work. I am leader of Agang SA, and Agang SA will continue its work to restore the promise of our freedom.”
Ramphele said the commitment she had made to Agang SA members in Gauteng, Mpumalanga, Free State, KwaZulu-Natal, Limpopo and Western Cape, stood.
Photos: California Allows First-Ever State Recognized Human-Animal Marriage
Father McHale who officiated the outdoor wedding told reporters he was extremely happy to be a part of this joyous moment of life. “This is the definition of true love my friends. There is nothing more sacred than the bond between a man and his faithful dog,” McHale said. “Now, since it is recognized as a legally binding marriage in the state of California, Mr. Horner and Mac will have all the same tax benefits and everything else coming to them that a regular married couple would receive. It’s a fantastic day to be alive!”
So how could this have happened?
In the book of California’s State Laws and Regulations there is a little known law that was passed as the state was first forming in 1850. According to article 155, paragraph 10, it clearly states: -
If a man and a man can get married and a woman and a woman can get married, if ever comes that day, then a human and animal will have the exact same rights to marriage in every eye of the law.
God help us if this ever is to happen! In attendance was Horner’s entire family who flew in from Hawaii to witness the event. Mac had her puppies on hand and making a special celebrity appearance was Alex from Stroh’s and Spuds Mckenzie. “I just love my Mac so much, I can’t wait till we can finally get back to the honeymoon sweet in Montana where bestiality is legal. Gosh, get with the times California! We can marry here just fine, but love making is a big no-no,” said Horner. “People keep asking me why I wanted to marry a dog.
I told them I just want the same god given rights that every person in California is allowed to have. Don’t tell me I can’t marry my dog. I don’t tell you that you can’t marry a 500 lb woman with gas issues. That’s your decision. Don’t tread on me. I love my dog and I know he loves me a hundred times more than any gay wedding out there.” With this wedding between a man and a male dog now on the books, one can only ask what is in store next?
A man marrying a toaster? A toaster marrying a dog? A toaster marrying a toaster?
What happened to the sanctity of marriage?
