WANDE COAL SAYS THE NUDE PICTURE IS NOT HIM!

A few days ago,there were was so much fuss about Wande Coal being nude in a picture that spread all over the internet.This is the official statement from Mohits on Wande Coal's Nude picture saga:

SOMEBODY IS AFTER WANDE COAL-MOHITS
It has come to our notice that a purported nude picture of Wande Coal is being circulated on social networking site, Twiter and that made him a trending topic yesterday and early hours of today.

Wande is very grateful to those who have shown him love and as well to those who were constructive in their criticisms. He is saying a massive THANK YOU.

We also want to state categorically that there is nothing wrong or to be ashamed about being naked BUT THE PICTURES IN QUESTION ARE NOT THOSE OF WANDE COAL, the multiple Hip Hop World Award winner. That is not him and that can never be him.

It is worthy of note to let you know that the rising star has been a target of orchestrated attacks in past months. Few months ago false reports of him being treated in a psychiatric home were widely circulated even when he was busy performing in shows in Nigeria and around the world. Later, another report of him slapping a fellow in a club was initiated by some faceless people as well, a report which was false in its entirety. Last year it was also reported that he slapped 9ice during an argument, a report 9ice himself denied. Now, it is a false naked picture that is being used.

We have reason to believe that the person behind these nude pictures is the same person(s) behind earlier negative and false stories. Therefore, we are no longer taking the matter lightly. Appropriate security agencies have been briefed and investigations are on-going so as to ascertain true identity of the culprit and bring him or her to book.

Wande would also like to appeal to his numerous fans to keep calm and assure them that he won’t stop making good music, love them and keep right in all his doings.

Please for further enquiries, interviews, clarifications and quote please contact Sunday Are on 08033480122 or Bigsam Media on 08028302862 or email bigsam@bigsam.org.

ANGELINA JOLIE WILL BE IN GHANA THIS WEEKEND

Information reaching the News-One newspaper has it that Angelina Jolie, the one-time most powerful Hollywood woman on earth, is arriving in the country today(July 15). The popular actress and some other international stars will be visiting Ghana for the first time on a United Nations (UN) assignment.

She will this weekend be attending some high profile events in Ghana, some of which are scheduled to take place in the State House, African Regency Hotel and the plush Citizen Kofi entertainment spot.

But for all the strange reasons one can think of, the Hollywood goddess’ coming to town is being kept under wraps, and indications are that her United Nations Development Programme (UNDCP) organizers don’t want to make any fuss about it, perhaps as a top surprise to Jolie’s fans in Ghana. Jolie according to deep sources will be attending Kenny Gee’s Ball at the State House on Friday and an after party at Citizen Kofi.,

On Saturday, she will also be hosted at the African Regency hotel as part of the same high profile event. Time and other details of her arrival are still being kept away from curious minds. Jolie is United Nations Goodwill Ambassador and has been touring Third World Countries, calling for greater international attention and assistance to needy countries.
