President of the Ghana League Clubs Association (GHALCA), Kudjoe Fianoo, has confirmed that despite finishing outside the top four of the Ghana Premier League, the winner of the FA Cup final between Bofoakwa Tano and Nsoatreman will participate in the 2024 Top 4 competition.

The Top 4 competition is an annual event aimed at keeping high-performing teams fit and competitive ahead of the upcoming season.

This year, it will feature Ghana Premier League champions FC Samartex, as well as the second and third-placed teams, Accra Lions and Berekum Chelsea.

Fianoo explained to Akoma FM, “The top three teams in the league (Samartex FC, Accra Lions, and Berekum Chelsea) plus the FA Cup winner will make up this year’s top four.”

Regarding the venue for the competition, Fianoo indicated that the New TNA Stadium in Tarkwa is the preferred location, with the Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi as an alternative. “Although we are yet to confirm a venue, we have already written to the administration of the New Tarkwa TNA Stadium as our first choice venue and the Baba Yara Stadium as an alternative venue,” he stated.

The 2024 Top 4 competition is scheduled to take place in the first or second week of August.

Despite their positions in the league, Nsoatreman finished fifth in the Ghana Premier League, while Bofoakwa Tano faced relegation after finishing 17th. However, both teams have an opportunity to salvage their season in the FA Cup final, scheduled for Sunday, June 23, 2024, at the University of Ghana Sports Stadium.

Former Ghanaian boxer Bukom Banku shared insights into his life principles during an appearance on Showbiz 360, emphasizing his lifelong abstinence from smoking and alcohol.

Reflecting on his past, he admitted to having been confrontational and prone to fighting those who disrespected him in his Bukom community but noted that he has since repented from such behavior.

The 46-year-old comedian credited his adherence to Muslim traditions as the reason for his abstention from alcohol and smoking, stating, “In my life, I have never smoked or drank alcohol because I am Muslim.”

Bukom Banku also denied ever seeking spiritual support, such as juju, to achieve fame, attributing his success solely to divine influence. He confidently stated, “Nobody can do juju for me in this nation. Who says they’ve done juju for me to support my career? Never in my life. It’s God. If you go for juju and you die, your children will face the consequences, and it will affect their future. Anybody who claims to have given me juju should come out and say it. My superstar status is real.”

Additionally, Bukom Banku offered advice to his son, urging him to stay focused on his career and avoid distractions from women. He extended this advice to young people in general, encouraging them to concentrate on achieving success, which he believes will naturally attract attention from women.

Black Sherif has once again captured attention, not only with his music but also with his bold fashion choices, solidifying his status as both a musical talent and a style icon.

At a recent public appearance, the Ghanaian artist turned heads with a daringly unconventional ensemble. Black Sherif wore a striking black top that seamlessly blended multiple styles.

Adding to the intrigue, Black Sherif sported a short miniskirt over his trousers, challenging traditional fashion norms. His look was completed with two ornate belts—one silver and one black—adding a touch of punk rock. Heavy black boots and dark shades rounded out the outfit, contributing to an overall edgy and mysterious vibe.

His willingness to push boundaries and challenge conventional fashion norms sets him apart in the music industry and makes him a topic of conversation in fashion circles.

I won’t accept sponsorship from any alcoholic brand – Joe Mettle

Award-winning gospel musician Joe Mettle has reiterated his stance against accepting sponsorship from alcoholic brands. During an interview on Daybreak Hitz with Andy Dosty, Mettle emphasized, “It is a no for me. Aside from faith, you can only work with brands that complement what you do.”

He further elaborated that corporate sponsorships often come with strings attached, explaining, “A company’s sponsorship is mostly not free since no matter what, you will be required to pay it someday since you will be invited on their stage.”

When asked about accepting anonymous sponsorship from an alcohol brand, he was uncertain and said, “With brands that give sponsorship and do not want to be mentioned, that is the silent sponsors, because silence is silent, I don’t know what I will do about that now though.”

The FDA’s guidelines for the Advertisement of Foods, published on February 1, 2016, prohibit well-known personalities from endorsing alcoholic beverages to prevent minors from being influenced into alcohol consumption. This guideline aligns with a World Health Organisation (WHO) policy to protect children and young individuals from alcohol addiction.

Despite a legal challenge by citizen Mark Darlington, who argued that the FDA’s directive was unconstitutional and discriminatory under Article 17 of the 1992 Constitution, the Supreme Court upheld the FDA’s ban. In a 5-2 majority decision on June 19, the court ruled that the directive was neither unreasonable nor excessive, thus affirming its constitutionality.
