If you want to start your New Year with colour, celebration, and pure energy, there is only one place to be on 1st January, Winneba . While everybody is still sleeping after 31st Night, Winneba is already awake. Drums, brass band, costumes, masks. This is the Winneba Masquerade Festival, locally called Fancy Dress. It is the first major festival in Ghana every year. And it is the second biggest festival in Winneba after Aboakyer. There is a morning in Winneba that does not feel like any other morning in Ghana.

STONEBWOY THROWS SHADE AT SAMINI AND SARKODIE

 Sarkodie and Samini after their alleged Nana 'Toaso' endorsement are receiving replies from their colleagues and this time Stonebwoy has jumped into the Samini and Sarkodie controversy.



Few days after Sarkodie released his 'Happy Day' song,Kwaw Kese revealed that to him, Samini and Sarkodie are political artistes who have chosen to endorse the NPP just to make money this period.

Well, in a post that seemed dlike a tease that was posted by Stonebwoy, quoted the bible verse saying"BY THEIR DEEDS WE SHAL BEE SEEN LA! THE BIBLE DON TALK AM!!!

Some fans reading this post as suggested that Stonebwoy was indirectly calling Sarkodie and Samini hypocrites for endorsing political parties when they both spoke against it some years ago although the BHIM president was silent about this whole issue and going about his business.
