I will not disclose identity of my daughter’s father-Mzbel
Ghanaian musician, Belinda Nana Ekua Amoah, known in Showbiz circles as Mzbel has brushed aside questions about the father of her daughter, Ohemaa.
Mzbel recently set social media buzzing with pictures and videos of her baby bump and her daughter.
She was also seen wearing a ring, indicating she is engaged.
This has raised questions from a section of the public about who the lucky man would be.
However, in an interview with Emmanuel Agyemang of Obibini TV, Mzbel indicated that she would not reveal the identity of the father of her daughter.
“For what I have seen on social media, I will not disclose something I value so much. Someone got married and posted about her husband, and people started digging into the man’s life, and the marriage collapsed,” she said.
According to her, if you value something and it gives you joy, social media should be the last place to display it.
For this reason, the musician said she would not disclose the identity of her husband to subject him to ridicule.
Mzbel added that she would not allow anyone to destabilise her peace of mind and joy.

“My husband, President John Dramani Mahama, will soon launch the Free Primary Health Care Programme, which will provide free care at facilities like the Anyima Health Centre,” she said.
Handing over the facility to the community, the First Lady urged health workers who will serve at the centre to treat patients with dignity and compassion.
She encouraged them to work towards ensuring zero maternal mortality and zero infant mortality at the facility.
Mrs. Mahama further called on residents of Anyima to take full ownership of the health centre by keeping it in good condition and making good use of its services.
She appealed to traditional leaders in the area to help protect the facility so that it can continue to serve the health needs of the community for many years.

The Vice President, Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, has called for stronger action to promote gender equity and create more opportunities for women in the workplace.
She made the call in a Facebook post after joining staff at the Presidency of Ghana to mark International Women’s Day.
The celebration was held under the theme “From Commitment to Action: Promoting Equity for Every Woman in the Workplace” and focused on recognising the achievements of women while reflecting on the work needed to ensure equal opportunities.
Professor Opoku-Agyemang extended warm wishes to women across Ghana and noted that women have always played key roles in the country’s communities and economic activities.
According to her, women in the past served as healers, traders and queen mothers who contributed to leadership and governance in traditional societies.
She explained that Ghana’s cultural history shows that women have long provided knowledge, leadership and innovation to help develop communities.
The Vice President however noted that current disparities require society to examine systems and structures that may have limited opportunities for women.
She stressed that advancing gender equity will require deliberate actions and the mentoring of young women to prepare them for leadership roles.
Professor Opoku-Agyemang recognised women whose work takes place in markets, streets and small trading spaces across the country.
According to her, these women form the backbone of local economies and continue to demonstrate resilience despite the difficult conditions they face.
She commended women working at the Presidency for their dedication and leadership and reaffirmed the need to promote respect, fairness and opportunity for every woman.
The Vice President further called on both men and women to work together to break barriers and ensure that women can fully contribute to Ghana’s development.
