This impressive achievement took place in Accra on March 9, 2024. Felicity’s incredible performance surpassed the previous record by five cars, showcasing her exceptional dedication and skill.
Her accomplishment has set a new standard in car washing efficiency, earning her recognition and admiration from around the world.

Even though he has been in the industry for 20 years, Ghanaian celebrated rapper Big Joe Frazier is yet to receive any royalties from the Ghana Music Rights Organization (GHAMRO).
In an interview on HitzFM, he expressed his frustration, mentioning that he registered with GHAMRO years ago but has seen no financial return.
“They issued me an ID card and collected all my songs five months ago,” he shared.
Joe Frazier, who has been active in the music scene for over two decades, voiced his disappointment over the absence of royalties from GHAMRO. He highlighted that despite his registration, his name no longer appears in their system.
The rapper revealed that his main source of income has been performances, attributing his hit song “Yaa Maame” for opening international opportunities and helping him establish his record label, JF Project (Joe Frazier Project).
Big Joe Frazier’s experience raises concerns about GHAMRO’s efficiency in royalty collection and distribution for artists.
GHAMRO, established under section 49 of the Copyright Law, Act 690 of 2005, and regulated under L.I 1962 of 2010, is responsible for collecting and distributing royalties for authors, composers, and other rights holders.

The untimely death of Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) graduate Lois Abena Koranteng, 24, has been confirmed by a devastating occurrence that has shocked social media users.
A verified account states that on Friday, June 7, 2024, Lois Abena Koranteng, a bright graduate in Petroleum Engineering, arrived to the Chris Lord Palace Hotel in Takoradi for a business trip.
Her boss and their driver were with her; they were spending the night in different rooms.
Tragedy struck at dawn on June 8, 2024, when a hotel worker discovered Lois’s lifeless body in the hotel’s swimming pool.
The young woman was found wearing only her bra and panties.
However, despite being rushed to the hospital, it was too late to save her.
The incident was promptly reported to the police, who have since launched an investigation.
A postmortem has been conducted, with the results currently held by the police as they continue to probe the circumstances surrounding her death.
Initial examinations revealed no visible signs of violence; there were no blood stains or cuts on Lois’s body, leaving many questions unanswered about how she ended up in the pool.
Adding to the mystery, the hotel claims that its CCTV cameras were not operational at the time of the incident, thus unable to provide any footage that could have shed light on the events leading up to Lois’s death.
This has raised concerns and speculation among the public and on social media.

It all started glorious and expected as we all saw Chef Smith as one of the highly anticipated contenders to win the Cook-A-Thon competition amongst the likes of Ekiti-based Nigerian chef, Damilola Adeparusi, who as well surpassed Hilda Baci’s 100-hour Cook-a-thon record. The chef, on Tuesday, shared the new record on her Instagram page while celebrating the feat. The PUNCH, on June 9, 2023, reports the chef began her 120 hours Cook-A-Thon.
Rather unfortunately, the board of Guiness World Record disagreed with Chef Smith’s public statement of becoming the next record breaker ahead of Damilola Adeparusi and Hilda Baci who would then become previous winners, should Chef Smith win.
After the clear disapproval of Chef Smith’s certificate from Guiness World Records board, he had no choice than to admit his wrongs and apologize to the world. He was literally in tears together with assistant, Leticia Markekie Sankah.
New information reaching ghanamedia.net from Kesben TV indicates Chef Smith has received an invitation to USA to be the chef cook in a Ghanaian restaurant.
