A Plus Warns Gov't To Pay Attention To Needs Of Ghanaians And Not Fancy Things

Outspoken musician A Plus has thrown shots at the government saying it should stop confusing Ghanaians with unnecessary projects and rather pay attention to the needs of citizens of this country. The controversial hiplife artiste said constructing roads and building bridges is not something extraordinary since every government is capable of doing so, adding that the Mahama-led government is not solving the problems of Ghanaians. “If you come and tell me that your health insurance isn’t working, and your school feeding programme too can’t feed kids, but you can buy V8 for your Ministers and kids are still dying of malaria and then you tell me to go and look at bridge – what I’m I going to use the bridge for?” he asks. A Plus who was contributing to a panel discussion on Showbiz@thebar on Joyprime also opined that a government which is capable of moving a country’s debt from 4 billion to 90 billion should be kicked out. A Plus who has openly showed his support for the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo said he will continue to influence people in order to change their minds to vote the NPP comes December 7.

"Thieves Were A Bunch Of Amateurs" -Kim Kardashian To Police

About the recent Kim K robbery in France, robbers were rank amateurs... and it showed from start to finish.

According to TMZ, sources close Kim Kardashian say "the robbers were extremely hesitant and tentative ... whisking her in and out of the bathtub, pointing a gun at her head ... walking away and then pulling the gun again for no apparent reason."
 
As for the thieves copying cops, their uniforms looked like they got them from a Halloween store.
And they were arguing over how to pull off the heist.

"The thieves used a garden-variety backpack to carry the jewels out. But they were extremely careless ... a $33,000 necklace ended up on the street as they made their getaway. And they left zip ties and duct tape behind.
Still ... they got away with it -- for now."
