Hongmeng OS is an Android-app compatible operating system under development by Huawei Telecommunications since 2012 towards their future products. On 24 May 2019, Huawei registered “HongMeng OS” as a patented trademark in China for active validity until 13 May 2029.
Huawei is hitting back at the US by introducing their new OS Hongmeng which is 60 times more faster than Android. Which is set to release in June 2019.
According to Huawei, they had been working on their own Operating System for the last seven years and further said that the production of the new operating system is completed.
Google has currently lifted the ban meaning the existing Huawei customers will continue to get updates for the next 90 days, including their Android app and all.
This is going to be the biggest set back for Android as the CTO of Huawei confirms that the new OS will be able to run Android apps. And to achieve that cause, they’re in talks with Apptoide which is a standalone alternative for Google play.
But there are some rumors which are suggesting that not just Android but this new OS will be able to run iOS applications too.
But, this is clear thatto come ahead of this hongmeng. This is surely going to be one hell of a fight between Huawei and Android to get the market leader. If Huawei succeeds in making their new OS better and more reliable than android than the world will see a revolution in the field of technology.
Is Hongmeng better than Android?
We’re still unsure as we didn’t get any UI/UX of their new OS so right now it is not the perfect time to comment on it. But after listening to a number of conferences done by Huawei past week, we’re sure that this new Operating System Hongmeng is indeed that can shake the foundations of Android.
ICGC Condemns and release Statement that publication claiming that Pastor Mensa Otabil have said in a sermon during church service that some scriptures in the Bible are senseless and stupid is false.
In a video fast trending on Social Media shatta wale is seen with another guy mimicking how Stonebwoy walks and his fingers used as a gun pointed at He Shatta Wale running away from the Gun welding guy supposed to be Stonebwoy in the video.
The Video has since received bashing and anger from Ghanians. One may think because of the Court case pending in Court both Shatta and Stonebwoy will not throw any shot at each other for the sake of the case in Court but NO thats far from that and Shatta has thrown the first shot at the BHIMNATION President STONEBWOY.

It’s been a while since I last wrote to you. I know this letter, like the last one I wrote to you on the worsening security situation in Ghana, will not put a smile on your face. But that should not stop me from writing to you. The frown on the face of a goat, our elders say, should not prevent its owner from dragging it to the Bolga market.
Like the proverbial goat, we own you. You are our president. You are our employee. We were sitting our somewhere when you came begging us to vote for you. In return, you promised to do our wish, to lead us to cure corruption and solve the problems facing us. With our thumbs, we employed you and gave you a four-year contract. For this reason, you should be able to listen to our concerns even if they don’t please your ears. The man who makes his farm by a popular village path must not hate greetings.
Besides, I don’t want to believe you and your government are now allergic to criticisms because, in opposition, you encouraged us to hold the feet of the government to fire. I still remember the first time I met you in person. You may have forgotten, but I remember that day vividly.
It was in July 2016. It was an evening, in your office, near the British High Commission. I was launching my first book, Voice of Conscience, and was there to invite you to the launch. You were traveling out of the country, but you said you would get someone to represent you. The late Emmanuel Kyeremateng Agyarko represented you on the day. (To my shock, the extremely tolerant John Mahama also sent a representative.)
Before I broached the subject of the book launch, however, you made an important comment. I was under a serious attack by about half of the country because I had done a story about a certain John Mahama accepting a certain “gift” of Ford Expedition from a certain Burkinabe contractor. You encouraged me to keep up the good work, and as harsh and critical as my works and writings sometimes were, you believed people like me were needed to hold those of you in politics in check. You said the role of journalists like me was very critical to the sustenance of our democracy.
Mr. President, I am sure you still stand by these beliefs, for real values are like the spots of the leopard. If a powerful rainfall cannot wash away those spots, then power should not erode your values as a staunch believer in the rule of law and a champion of free speech. Of course, I don’t expect you to feel the same way you felt about my work in the past. Then, it was John Mahama. And our elders are right: if you see the corpse of an unknown person being carried away, it looks like a bundle of firewood.
The reason for this letter is that last week, I saw you again in the news with your friend, the CEO of Zoomlion and Chairman of the Jospong Group of companies, Joseph Siaw Agyepong. Yours is a mature brain so I’m sure you will look at the issues I’m about to raise. Some say I have a personal problem with the man when all I have written about him is his dubious business deals with Ghana, and never about his marriage or children.
Before 2013, I would have nominated Joseph Siaw Agyepong, a respected elder of the Church of Pentecost, for a Nobel Prize. After 2013, I found it difficult to classify him as a businessman. And that’s the reason, I felt uneasy when you gave him another photo opportunity in relation to yet another very disturbing government contract your government awarded to him.
Before I come to the contract in question, which made you visit Mr. Agyepong’s “business” twice in two years, let me remind you of what your own party, the World Bank, the Auditor General have said about Jospong. It’s not only Manasseh who has had issues with those deals.
In November 2016, three weeks before the general election that brought you and your party to power, your New Patriotic Party (NPP) held a press conference in Accra and described Zoomlion’s contract with the Youth Employment Agency as fraudulent. That Zoomlion’s contract came to your party’s attention because, in 2013, I investigated GYEEDA and revealed how dirty the deal was.
Your party accused the Mahama government of keeping contracts of that nature because he (John Mahama) was benefitting directly from such shady deals. Two and a half years after taking over as President of Ghana, that contract is still running. Mr. President, are you benefitting directly from this stinking contract?
In 2013, the World Bank banned Zoomlion from bidding for any World Bank-funded project for two years. According to the World Bank, Zoomlion “paid bribes to facilitate contract execution and processing of invoices.”
In Ghana, however, no action was taken against Zoomlion even after the government set up a committee after my investigation and that committee found more evidence of fraud the company was committing against the state in the contract with the youth employment programme.
Again, in 2013, one of Elder Agyepong’s companies, Subah Infosolutions, was involved in the Subah Scandal. Almost every report of the Auditor General on the District Assemblies Common Fund for the past decade indicts Zoomlion in one way or the other.
Mr. Agyepong’s companies were again involved in the $74 million fraudulent contracts awarded to them with the help of Julius Debrah and Collins Dauda, Chief of Staff and Local Government Minister respectively. I revealed in my “Robbing the Assemblies” investigations that this contract was needless and had been inflated by over $31 million. I gave evidence of how a piece of bin liner sold to the general public by the Jospong Group for 98 pesewas, less than GHc1, but in the contract with the government, the Jospong Group quoted the price of a piece of bin liner as GHc67. The government was buying 900,000 pieces. do the math. (To your credit, the government discontinued this shady deal).
My investigation also showed evidence of multiple and fraudulent fumigation contracts involving Zoomlion and other Jospong companies at the Assemblies and the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development. The police and the Attorney General have been handling this for the past two years. I hope they will one day finish and press charges
The Auditor General recently announced it disallowed and surcharged more than GHc184 million paid to Zoomlion by the National Health Insurance Authority for yet another fumigation deal. This is what the NPP said about this contract in the November 2016 press conference addressed by the Policy Advisor of your party at the time, Boakye Agyarko:
“Zoomlion is also alleged to be involved with a bogus Malaria Control Programme with the NHIS, and has a preferential payment treatment over suppliers of services to the scheme, such as private medical practitioners/clinics and pharmacies. This year alone, Zoomlion is alleged to have been paid GH¢35 Million at the expense of providers of critical services to NHIS. No wonder the scheme has collapsed under John Mahama’s watch.”
Mr. President, your government has done nothing about this contract. Thankfully, the Auditor General has stepped in. Zoomlion has appealed the surcharge and disallowance. In response to the appeal, the Auditor General said:
“The Respondent upon a careful review of the documents tendered in support of the payments to the Appellant [Zoomlion] is of the candid opinion that the Appellant has at all material times, been fraudulent and has caused a drain on the scarce state resources.” Justice Georgina Mensah Datsa is expected to hear this case on May 30th.
Mr. President, the first time you visited Jospong companies and praised him, you came under wide condemnation. I wrote to you to be careful and distance yourself from companies that do not represent your anti-corruption brand. The old adage is still potent: show me your friend, and let me tell you your character.
People close to your office told me some compromised persons misled you to his companies. Our elders have taught us that the testicles of a wise man are not trampled upon twice. So I take it that this time, you knew where you were going.
Mr. President, I still would have had issues with this dredging contract even if it had been awarded to any other company apart from Jospong. I was furious when I read a month ago that the government had allocated GHc197 million for the dredging and desilting of storm drains to curb flooding.
Our drains are open and people throw all manner of things into it. Sand and plastics fill the storm drains so rainwater is not able to flow through them. This causes flooding in the national capital, especially the Odaw river/drain around the Kwame Nkrumah Circle area. Every raining season, we award contracts and spend money to clear the garbage from the drains. We could do two things to stop the perennial wastage of national resources on perennial flooding.
The first is to stop the choking of the drains in the first place. But it appears this is harder than rocket science, so I move on to the next idea, which is the application of common sense. And a bit of integrity.
To pay 197 million cedis to a company to remove sand and plastic from the gutters in a country where weak classroom blocks are killing school children does not make economic or any other sense under the sun. The company does this with equipment and tipper trucks and this work comes in the rainy season. The assemblies have or can employ the personnel to operate the equipment. This work can be done with very little or no cost at all to the state.
The scooping of sand from our gutters is not brain surgery, Mr. President. In 2015, Ibrahim Mahama’s company, Engineers and Planners, used equipment procured by the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development to do this same work for free. Yes, it was for free. The government did not pay a pesewa.
But it seemed the government was not pleased money did not change hands but the work got done. In 2016, the government parked its equipment and awarded the contract to the Jospong company. Your government signed a new contract when the two-year deal expired. The dredging was done in 2016. It was done in 2017. It was done in 2018. And it is being done in 2019. But nothing has changed. The area is still flooding. The contract is renewed. It will be done forever with hundreds of millions of cedis when the government could buy the equipment and do at very little or no cost to the state.
Dredging of the Odaw is not brain surgery. Ibrahim Mahama’s Engineers and planners did it for free.
Huge sums of money were spent in the past under the Korle Lagoon Restoration project, which had grand project designs. It amounted to nothing because no government wants to relocate the traders at Agbogloshie and Kokomba Yam Market and all the illegal settlers along the Odaw, who make nonsense of the interventions. So the contractors, like the weavers in The Emperor’s New Clothes, will get busy, take millions of cedis and finally give the same excuse we have had from both private and government agencies about the illegal traders and settlers.
When I did the GYEEDA scandal involving Zoomlion, the sector minister who was supposed to oversee the implementation of the scandal was Elvis Afriyie-Ankrah of the National Democratic Congress (NDC). I was not impressed with how he and his government dealt with the issues, and I wrote extensively about it. You and your party campaigned against them with those issues.
Last year, Mr. Afriyie-Ankrah said openly that ministers and governments signed stupid contracts not because they were stupid. He said the reason they did that and could not deal with corrupt companies was that the companies and business people involved in corruption were those that provided funding for politicians.
Mr. President, your association with and continued award of contracts to businesses with questionable integrity embolden them. It is as if the traffic indicator of your life signals right with your words, but you end up turning left with your actions. And that’s dangerous to your followers and appointees and the rest of the nation.
Both Livingstone Etse Satekla [Stonebwoy] and Charles Nii Armah Mensah [Shatta Wale] are hereby banned indefinitely from participating in the nominations, selections and performances at the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards scheme.” Amanzeba Nat Brew said.
In as much as we all know everyone in the music industry has their friend and friends that they generate inspiration and sometimes tap into their audiences at some points but when you try to do that through any dancehall artist their fans will come after you claiming you are peaching camp with their rival or enemy.
a tweet from Sarkodie yesterday talking about the industry and what need to be done has generated another feud between Stonebwoy fans, Shatta Fans and some fans of Sarkodie himself, read the Tweet below
Sarkodie writes; here’s is a bigger picture out there for Us ( musicians ) to look at ... Ghana is doing well on the international scene and we need to keep pushing for higher heights... We don’t have time to be distracted... Throwing shots on records has always been part of the art ( not always necessary ) and sometimes keeps artiste on their toes especially with the Hiphop Dancehall genre but there are limits to it ... With an industry dominated by men , egos will always be up but again as men we need to control our emotions ( very hard to do ) but it’s a must. Our reflexes might lead us to make wrong choices and we definitely have to work on em. FOCUS on the WORK. after writing nicely about what need to done for the Ghanaian music industry to be appealing to the world he quickly shifted attention from the music industry and started showing love to Shatta Wale saying ,
This particular tweet from Sarkodie got some fan of him saying he has disgraced them by showing love to Shatta Wale after all He Shatta said about him Sark, Stonebwoy fans also read another meaning into the tweet saying Sark was indirectly jabbing stonewboy but he should just go straight to the point, Shatta fans also said they are not ready for another ShattaSark reunion again.
A new video fast-trending on social media indicates that Dancehall musician Stonebwoy is in court over his recent ‘pulling of gun’ on his arch-rival Shatta Wale at the just ended Vodafone Ghana Music Awards 2019.
In the trending video, one can see him getting out of a car amidst his BHIM Nation Crew and lawyer.
stonebwoy in court
One can see his manager, Blakk and a lawyer well clad in his gown.
It was reported a couple of days ago that a police statement signed by Head of Public Affairs, Efia Tenge, the police noted that the two artistes together with a third suspect, Nii Amoo have been granted bail following their arrest on Sunday.
The three will soon be put before court.
“The two, together with one other suspect, Nii Amoo, who was seen discharging pepper spray in the auditorium were all arrested yesterday, 19th May, 2019, placed in lawful custody and have been granted bail to be arraigned before court in due time,” the statement read.
According to one of the prostitutes, she would go hungry if she doesn’t find men who are interested in her on the streets of Sierra Leone.
”They would take me back to their homes, have sex with me the whole day and give me 5,000 Leones ($0.57),” she said.
She revealed that she was fourteen (14) years old when she started sleeping with men on the streets because her mother had thrown her out of her house simply because she can’t afford to take good care of her.
According to one of the prostitute they went into prostitution because their parents keep calling them bastards and they couldn't take care of them any longer so they had to survive on their own. She went on to say they sometimes meet nice men and they confess to them that they are ready to stop doing the prostitution job and settle down so if the men could help, some of the men will take them in and then just sleep with them for free but throw them out in a week or two, if you try convincing them to allow you to stay they start beating you and Maltreating you.
More and more Prostitute emerged in Freetown after the Ebola crisis because in one way or the Other their parents died and they had no one to take care of them and the only available means to make money is to sell themselves to men before they can be able to eat.
They went on to say they feel happy if their able to get atleast seven to eight men in a night. But if you want to sleep without condom you will pay Le50000 ($5.60) and with condom is Le25000 ($3.30).
she has two younger sisters and she's the one that take care of them and she the one who pays their school fees through her prostitution work. when asked if she will let her two sisters indulge in such activity and answered no but that the main reason why she's paying their school fees now.
Reggae/dancehall artistes Shatta Wale and Stonebwoy are to be sanctioned by the organisers of the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMA) for the scuffle that broke between them on stage at the 20th VGMA Awards on Sunday.
According to Charterhouse, the action of the two artistes who have been arch rivals for years, breached the terms and conditions governing the country’s premier music awards event.
These terms and conditions, it said in a statement Sunday, “come with punitive measures when flouted”.
The organisers explained that is designed “to protect the scheme and ensure that it is neither impugned nor dragged into any sort of disrepute”.
Shatta and Stonebwoy were embroiled in a scuffle causing the latter to pull out a gun on stage in what many have said was in self-defence.
Stonebwoy who had just been declared winner of the 2019 Reggae and Dancehall Artiste of the Year, was on stage to receive his award when Shatta Wale and his multitude of fans decided to mount the stage with him in what some perceived to be in a confrontational manner leading to the scuffle.
They were on Sunday invited by the police for questioning over the matter.
“Charterhouse and the board have taken serious exception to the incident that happened at the 20th Vodafone Ghana Music Awards and thus would ensure that the needed sanctions are applied,” it said.
The organisers they would hold news conference to address the issue at the event, including punitive measures agreed on in consultation with the Board and other affiliates of the award scheme.
Charterhouse added they have reported the incident to the police and have been cooperating with the police to investigate and to ensure that “the true facts of what happened would be known and addressed”.
Meanwhile they have apologised to Ghanaians for the incident which they said was as a result of “security breach”
“Being a special edition of the annual ceremony, months of planning had gone into giving the world a breath-taking event. Sadly, however, we were unable to give the full experience we had hoped to give as a result of this breach,” Charterhouse noted.
Wayne wonder was called by Andy Dosty of Hitz fm to give his comment about what ensued between the two dancehall giants in Ghana which led to the arrest of Shatta Wale and Stonebwoy, according to Wayne Wonder his very shocked and short of words on hearing what dancehall music is doing in Africa but in Jamaica its all for the hype. when he was asked if any dancehall artist in Jamaica has ever pulled Gun on a rival before and he said no that will never happen in Jamaica.
The Season 8 Episode 6 of the Game of Thrones came of Yesterday and fans all over the world poured their frustration and anger on the producers for wasting their 8 years for a disappointing ending. some fans have the notion that the producers just wanted to stop airing the show so they just did a rush work and story wasn't completed.
comments from fans :
1. When she didn’t sit on the throne, I knew what was up 2. SUCKS
3. I kinda wish it ended here. Ned don't go south 4. For me the show ended when the Night King fell. At least that way it doesn’t feel like I wasted 9 years of my life!
“Reggae and dancehall artiste, Livingstone Etse Satekla popularly known in showbiz circles as ‘Stonebwoy’ has been arrested by the Police.
It follows the fracas that occurred between Stonebwoy and Shata Wale at the Ghana Music Awards.
It started when Stone Bwoy was called up the stage to receive the award for ‘Reggae/Dancehall Artiste of the Year’ during last Saturday’s Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMA).
Citi News sources say the Police has also invited Shatta Wale over the incident.”
Me: I know they will let him go but this arrest is important, demonstrating that Ghana is not a jungle.
Those calling for the arrest of Shatta Wale, what was his legal crime? Nothing prohibits him from walking onto the stage in law, even if we find it inappropriate.
But the law prohibits public display of gun, which Stonebwoy is in violation.
Think about this too: who allowed the gun to be taken into the auditorium?
For those who despise common sense and are only interested in the law, Section 7 (1) of Ghana’s Arms And Ammunition Act – 1972 (NRCD 9) states that, “No person shall, except in accordance with the terms of a permit granted under this Decree or with the written consent of the Inspector-General of Police, publicly display any arms or ammunition (including explosives) or discharge any firearm or other weapon in any public place.”
after two people dear to my heart
