#BBNaija: Cross criticized for asserting that no one had a better entrance than him this season

Cross, a star of the BBNaija reality show, was embarrassed for saying that he still holds the title for the best entrance among housemates this season.
Cross made a splash on social media with his arrival during last season, and after observing the housemates’ entrances thus far this season, he believes no one has been able to top it, but has been ridiculed for it.

Cross was informed by a fan comment on his post that his season of Big Brother Nigeria was monotonous and that, but for Whitemoney, the sponsors would have requested them all to go; as a result, he should be quiet and stop feeling so strongly.

The second episode of Big Brother Naija season 7 airs tonight, and we are anticipating a wonderful show because Daniella, Beatrice, and Bryan have already exceeded fans’ expectations, and we want to see the rest keep the momentum going.

Akufo-Addo commissions the rehabilitation of Asomdwe Park (Photos)

The commissioning took place after a brief ceremony on July 24, 2022, which was attended by a number of sympathizers and the former President’s loved ones.

Akufo-Addo stated in a message posted to his Facebook page that he made the decision to rebuild the Asondwe Park after learning of its poor condition.

“On Sunday, 24th July 2024, I commissioned the rehabilitated Asomdwoe Park, the final resting place of the 3rd President of the 4th Republic, the late Prof. John Evans Fiifi Atta-Mills,” the President said

“Sometime after becoming President, I became aware of the sad state of Asomdwoe Park, and, in 2020, I received a request from the late President’s energetic Communications Director, Koku Anyidoho, who runs the Institute named after the President, for the assistance of Government to rehabilitate the facility. I agreed, and, subsequently, I instructed the Coastal Development Authority to undertake a thorough rehabilitation of the Park, with the close co-operation of the Institute.

“It was not right that the Park had been allowed to deteriorate considerably over the years since his burial in 2012, and I am happy that it was under the Presidency of Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, allegedly his “fiercest critic”, that Asomdwoe Park has been elevated to a status befitting the final resting place of a President of the Republic of Ghana.

In addition, Akufo-Addo said that he did not upgrade Atta Mills’ final resting site in order to gain political advantage and sent his condolences to the deceased former president’s family.

“I did so with that objective solely in mind, and not to exploit or take advantage of any so-called divisions in the political party to which he belonged. Those alleged divisions are not of my making, and do not, in any way, inure to my benefit.

“My wife Rebecca and our children join me and the Government in reiterating our sincere condolences to his wife, Naadu, his son, his entire family, to the National Democratic Congress, and, indeed, to the people of Ghana for their great loss. The man from Ekumfi Otuam will not be forgotten,” he added.

Atta Mills passed away in 2012, and today marks the exact 10-year anniversary of his tragic passing.

Black Sherif’s song “Kwaku The Traveler” is once more promoted by DJ Khaled

On his Instagram page, the American DJ, record executive, author, and producer DJ Khaled has once again given the song “Kwaku The Traveller” by Black Sherif his support.

He has “promoted” the song for the second time in a week.

His most recent post shows him and another traveler singing along to the music as they drive to the airport. For a show, he is making the trip from America to Canada.

In the one-minute and 19-second long video, he can be seen shaking his head and gesturing at various points in response to the song’s lyrics.

He used many Ghana flag emojis in the caption and tagged Blacko with the phrase “BIG CHUNE.”

The legendary Hollywood figure shared minute-long video footage of Black Sherif singing the massive hit song in an unidentified room in an earlier post, using the fire emoji to convey his feelings.

Blacko, with matching white clothing and white headgear, was seen having fun while wearing his distinctive necklace and earrings.

Khaled encouraged listeners to “keep going,” calling the song “Music that touches your spirit.”

Many Ghanaians responded to the post after realizing the significance of Khaled’s endorsement for the Ghanaian’s professional future.

Blacko, who had established his brand with “First Sermon” and “Second Sermon,” soared after playing “Kwaku The Traveller” at the 5th edition of the 3Music Awards. Users literally took over the country’s social media platforms by sharing his performance on their accounts.

His “rain act” inspired a social media challenge, with numerous people copying what happened on stage.

Later, he uploaded the song, which has since received over twelve million views on YouTube and over eight million views of its original video.

The song, which has an excellent melody and a well-crafted plot about a young guy on a lifelong quest for greatness, has topped several charts since it was released.
