The official artiste lineup for the 2017 Ghana Meets Naija is yet to be released, organizers, Empire Entertainment, have said. Earlier reports communicated a fine list of artistes penciled for this year’s event but Empire, who are holding the event for the seventh year, say they are yet to officially communicate the complete list. “We are still in talks with some and we are hopeful that in the next few days, we will be able to communicate the final list,” an Empire official says.
Sticking to the event’s theme and longstanding tradition of pairing artistes from Nigeria and Ghana to a night’s celebration of music, this year’s would also feature the best of the two countries.
Empire adds that the talks have advanced to a point where they feel confident they are getting almost all the acts they want for the show.
“We have had extensive negotiations and cannot wait to let people in on our final list. It is the best you can have currently from the two countries.”
In its 7th year, the Ghana Meets Naija concert is the biggest concert in the region that brings artistes from the two countries together.
Usually oversubscribed, it has over the years hosted the likes of Wizkid, The Mavins headed by Don Jazzy, Tiwa Savage, Sarkodie, and Shatta Wale among a tall list of A-List acts.
This year’s event has uniBank as headline sponsor.
The 7th Ghana Meets Naija takes place in May]]>

Police brutality is slapping someone cooperating and already in cuffs – musician NY Melody

The Ghana Police Service arrested 29 people on Tuesday after dispersing a violent anti-cost protest in Accra with tear gas. The protest took a turn for the worse when protesters engaged in a violent exchange with police, injuring 12 officers and leading to the arrest of some of the protesters.
Following the incident, many Ghanaians, both inside and outside the country, have come out to condemn the police and protesters’ violent actions.
One video that went viral from the incident showed a police officer beating a handcuffed protester who was clearly not resisting arrest. The video sparked an online outrage, with “Be My Love” singer NY Melody among those quick to condemn the officer’s actions.

The musician later posted a video in which he expressed his disappointment at seeing the video. For him, the police officer was abusing his authority, and slapping someone who was already handcuffed was completely unnecessary.
“We live in a democracy, and in a democracy, we have the right to demonstrate when something bothers us.” The police, also known as “Peace Officers,” are supposed to keep the peace and order no matter what environment they are in.”
Imagine what would have happened if the protesters had retaliated in response to the slap. The cops should have known better; they should have some emotional intelligence. “Police brutality is slapping someone already in cuffs who isn’t resisting arrest.” he said.
