Last weekend witnessed Kofi Kinaata grabbing two awards at the prestigious Ghana Music Awards; Best New Artiste of the year and Songwriter of the year. To the youth of Sekondi-Takoradi (Oil City), this means more than awards, to them, it means they are being represented on the national music map, a neglect which has been a regional woe for years.
Yesterday (8th May, 2016), some youth from the Oil City, majority of them from Effiakuma, a suburb of Takoradi organized a street jam and float through principal streets of Takoradi to celebrate Kofi Kinaata for the heroic victory. The float was accompanied with brass brand strictly playing songs of the Susuka Crooner.
Below are the photos and video of the celebration;

WhatsApp announced today that it has launched a native desktop app that’s available on both Windows and Mac devices. The Facebook-owned company said that it supports desktop notifications, better keyboard shortcuts, and more. All messages are synced with WhatsApp’s mobile devices as well.
Earlier this week, leaked screenshots indicated that a desktop app was going to be released soon, allowing you to send messages to friends and share files, all from your PC.
The addition of WhatsApp’s desktop app joins Facebook Messenger which debuted a standalone version of its service for the web and also PC. The addition of this new tool makes the service more accessible and could be aimed at helping to accelerate growth — WhatsApp already counts more than 1 billion monthly active users, a number that could soon be surpassed by its messaging cousin.
