Synopsis of The Slaves
Seized from every corner of the vast continent of Africa, the SLAVES find themselves at the brink of despair, confined in the shadows of their impending doom. After relentless contemplation, they unite to craft a daring plan for liberation. Weathered priest readies himself to administer the final rites for the silent one chosen to embark on a perilous journey of salvation.
As the ancient rituals unfold, the dungeon’s heavy doors creak open, revealing a horde of merciless soldiers led by the tyrannical Tomas, the overseer. With weapons drawn and hearts hardened, they are prepared to unleash brutality upon those who dare defy their chains. As eyes meet, a symphony of pain and fury echoes through the desolate chamber, questioning the betrayal that has exposed their desperate bid for freedom, who betrayed them.

Osanju is dead
Popular Ghanaian content creator, Elvis Frimpong, known in showbiz circles as Osanju has been reported dead.
According to sources, he was said to have died in the early hours on Monday, September 1, 2025 after a long battle with blood cancer (Leukemia)
His death has been a shock in the Ghanaian community especially coming shortly after his last post.
His demise comes five months after he had laid his mother, Amounu, also a tiktoker, to rest, having lost her in January.
Hours before his passing, he had posted a video on Sunday with friends watching the Barcelona vs. Rayo Vallecano match, prompting many fans to initially dismiss the reports as a hoax.
Osanju’s death has been described as a huge loss by followers who admired his openness, resilience and positive outlook in the face of ill health.
However, Osanju had previously shared his battle with leukemia, a cancer of the blood, on his TikTok account, even eerily predicting his own demise on a couple of occasions.
