The UNAIDS Country Director for Uganda, Ms Amakobe Sande made this revealation at the Uganda's Ministry of Foreign Affairs yesterday as she presented her credentials.

Read Shatta Wale's BBC interview with Akwasi Sarpong, full text | European tour

Shatta Wale is currently on his European tour with his new released album 'After The Storm' and he passed by the BBC's studios in London to have this interview with Akwasi Sarpong.

To begin with, the host Akwasi Sarpong asked the musician about the Jamaican dialect (patois) he sings with and he said, "That influence came from my cousins here in London because when I was like seventeen (17) years my dad brought me here for the first time. When I met them, they were always speaking patois and I asked my auntie, why, they don't speak like the British English I know? And she was like their fathers are Jamaicans, and I was like wow I love the language so because I was sleeping with them I was forced to speak. You know, so I was learning from them, gradually and I started getting perfect with it and I love dancehall from the start so that is the influence became greater and I think it has helped me though and sometimes that is..."

And whether or not singing in patois has opened the door for him, the dancehall musician said, "Well I think dancehall music has a bigger market because back in the days you know Ghanaians used to go with hiplife and hiplife was just on a small scale but I believe dancehall that I took was a worldwide thing that anywhere you go, when you say you do dancehall music at least you get the market space you know to also exhibit your talent so I felt that me not promoting so much of like  Jamaican songs, why don't I fuse in a little bit of where I am coming from you know that is why I fuse in Twi, Hausa, Ga you know sometimes...you know so I just fuse it in the songs so that sometimes when you listening to the song you feel like; wow, is he Jamaican? Oh! What is he saying here? Then maybe I can tell them where I am also coming from.  So, at least to promote my culture."

The dancehall artiste, was then asked to tell  the story behind the song 'Kakai' which undoubtedly is amongst his biggest hit songs, and the musician continued, "Kakai is something scary. You know when we were kids, you know, you doing something and you don't wanna stop and your mum goes like "Kakai will catch you, stop it."

"Kakai is about how you know things went on with me back in the days you know and how I came without them knowing; you know, I came from the back door quietly but wow  BOOM! Kakai tells a whole story from Bandana days to Shatta Wale. I was even doing a personal song but God really blessed it. It goes like [ Shatta Wale sings Kakai song]"

He was further asked how celebrity has changed him and he added, "Sometimes; you know, I just want to walk; you know, ride bicycle and just go and buy something by the road side like those days;  you know, like or go to a chop bar buy some fufu; you know; but it really hurts me; you know. I really wanna do them things you know; like the old days; you know; like I can go and like pick a taxi; you know like or pick  trotro you know but it doesn't happen anymore."

And lastly, when Shatta Wale was asked whether he would give this up for anything, he ended by saying, "No; no; no; no; no."

Slap any man who proposes marriage to you in public - Counselor Lutterodt, it is an insult

Counselor George Lutterodt on public proposal of marriage by men, in an interview on Starr FM this morning with Robert Nii Arday Clegg (host).

According to Counselor Lutterodt, this is why it is wrong to propose to a woman in public.

"It is a public insult---insubordination. It is one of the biggest defficiencies that can be weighed on a femenine gender call a woman.

"It is actually a shame, disgrace, a ridicule to be publicly embarrassed by a man in the name of love.

"You publicly propose to her, you have embarrassed her and put her in a box.

"It is a ridicule, it is a shame and disgrace to feminity.

"....Nobody can put an indelible mark on you as a wife until they pay your bride price.

"It (public proposal) keeps you in the box. You are mine. Publicly announcing that henceforth you are going out. So even if we don't marry, constantly that sort of mark you left at the restaurant is in the congnitive templates of all those who witnessed it, those who took pictures on social media. And social media can keep the record in the cloud  for so many years. So everytime there is an answer from you that you have to answer a question. Where is George Lutterodt? The guy who proposed to you at the restaurant and we all bowed to it. Where is he? He drops you and then you become a bigger burden. He marries you and the record is there. This girl I was there when the guy did the proposal.

"And the question is that even if you are not sure you don't want it, there are times that 8 out of 10 girls would not want to spoil the fun but would want to go down to it and accept the nonsense (public proposal) of the young man because they are in a box. This has led to a lot of women today regretting in their marriage. And for me, it is a disrespect because there is a procedure for seeking for a woman's hand in marriage.

"Women are very very important.... God created a woman as the completion of creation. So the wisdom and power of a woman cannot be underated to that level where you put them in a box, kneel down, give them a ring in public place and they have nothing to do than to clap their hands, and the people there who don't even know you, they don't know George Lutterodt, they don't know Naa Ashorkor; once I kneel down for her then everybody start "Awwww...""

Does a man have the right to propose to a woman? Counselor Lutterodt says NO.

"A man has no right to propose to a woman. It is a family's business. That is what the man must learn. It is a family's connection. So your family is doing the thing on your behalf because you have expressed the interest..."

Instead of the public proposal, this is what Counselor Lutterodt want men to do.

"You see the lady, you want to marry her, you report to your family and the family goes to her family and make the proposal on your behalf."

And this is what Counselor Lutterodt want women to do to men who propose to them in public.

"Women should begin to slap the foolishness out of men. When you give them a slap, it will become a police case rather give them(men) 'anisubo' (that is a slap on the eye)."

Ghana Music Industry has made Musicians so poor till now... - Shatta Wale

Shatta Wale, the voice of the voiceless doing what he does best after music---speaking up and out for himself and his colleague musicians in the Ghana music industry who are protecting their careers and don't want to be tagged as controversial and in the end enter into the bad books of ghana music industry players.

The controversial Ghanaian reggae-dancehall artiste, Shatta Wale who is no longer reffered to as the Dancehall King but rather the Entertainter has blamed the music industry for making musicians poor till now all because MUSIGA have leveraged on the inability of musicians to speak up and out for their rights. The Entertainer also called on the Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA) president, Obour and his team to sit up.

According to Shatta Wale, "We have seen musicians come and go down. All because they dont speak out for their rights. This so called industry has made musicians so poor till now that musicians cant even make ends meat. Its a total disgrace to hear musigha come out to think banning of profane songs can change our industry but dont think of educating musicians to see this career as a business venture which most musicians need more than anything. Obuor and your team sit up cuz all what you see these days is called the "REVOLUTION".."

And responding to MUSIGA and Ghana Music Rights Organization (GHAMRO) alleged plan to ban all profane songs in the system---a plan that was necessitated by the musician's latest profane song tittled "Wo Maame Tw3", Shatta Wale called upon them to ban Ghanaian highlife music living legend, Daddy Lumba since he also puts out profane songs.

Shatta Wale stated, "That is why I love Daddy Lumba, he is grown and matured and do you think he regrets doing all his songs. No, he knows our industry is full of hypocrites and hungry industry players. Go and ban him because he is waiting for you...Disgraceful souls...Big up Daddy Lumba and large up Yaa pono. Go and ban his name too. Shame on musigha and shame on Ghamro.. #Entertainer"
