Kiyo: A church programme by
the founder and leader of the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN), Prophet
T.B. Joshua in Accra Tuesday has caused an unprecedented traffic in the capital
and virtually brought vehicular movement to a halt.
Thousands
of worshipers flocked the church on the Spintex Road to be a part of the
historic visit of the popular man of God who has millions of followers across
the world.
As
early as 2am Tuesday, the road to the church was choked with vehicles as people
travel from as far as Benin into Ghana to see the Nigerian prophet. The
situation attracted huge media attention.
However,
some journalists who went to the area to report on the situation motorists
describe as "chaotic" were detained for several hours by security
personnel of the church.
Their
crime, Emmanuel Anteh, a journalist with Joy News on Multi-TV, narrated to
Myjoyonline.com, was that they did not seek permission before filming the
chaotic situation at the church premises.
Due
to the historic church service, the entire Spintex enclave has been swamped by
a fleet of cars, causing heavy and unbearable traffic on an already traffic
prone road.
Although
the service was billed to start at 7am, reports say people started arriving as
early as 2am.

Kiyo: Grammy-winning singer
Lauryn Hill, who pleaded guilty in 2012 to failing to pay taxes on more than
$1.8 million earned from 2005 to 2007, was sentenced to three months in prison
on Monday.
Monday's
sentencing also took into account unpaid state and federal taxes in 2008 and
2009 that brought the total earnings to about $2.3 million.
Despite
having paid more than $900,000 in the past several days, Hill still owes
interest and penalties, the U.S. attorney's office said.
In a
forceful but controlled statement to the judge punctuated by occasional raps
with her fist on the podium, Hill described how she failed to pay taxes during
a period when she'd dropped out of the music business to protect herself and
her children.
Filo: In addition to
serving three months in prison, Hill must pay a $60,000 fine.
After
she is released from prison, she will be under parole supervision for a year,
the first three months of which will be spent under home confinement.
She
is to report to prison by July 8 though it's not clear where she'll serve her
sentence.
American company, Wool & Prince invented a shirt that stays fresh for 100 days?
 |
Kiyo: It could spell an end
to laundry days – or at least make them a much less frequent chore.
Manufacturers
claim they have invented a shirt that stays clean even after 100 days of wear. The
garment resists odour so effectively that it even smells fresh after being worn
during rigorous exercise, its makers claim.
It
is also said to need no ironing as it is made of is wrinkle-free material that
can withstand even the roughest of treatment.
American
company Wool & Prince said they developed the shirt for men who hate having
to wash their clothes so often.
They
sent researchers around the world wearing the shirts doing everything from
backpacking in the Andes to dancing in sweaty New York nightclubs to test their
design.
The
shirts are made of wool which lasts six times longer than cotton. Laboratory
tests have shown that wool fibres resist tearing and can bend back on
themselves more than 20 000 times without breaking. Cotton breaks after 3 200
bends. Wool is also highly resilient to wrinkles because it has a natural
crimp.
