I’ve The Pictures; I’ll Expose Them On TV3 If They Don’t Leave Office – Johnnie Hughes Serves Notice
Host of TV3 New Day show, Johnnie Hughes has sent a bold message to all public sector workers who have attained their retiring age but still at various offices enjoying ‘cookies’.
Speaking on Johnnie’s Bite show this morning, Johnnie Hughes made it clear that he has a lot of documents and pictures to expose some public sector workers who have attained 60 years and still at work. He promised to expose them soon if they don’t vacate their offices. Johnnie Hughes gave them four days to think about this because he is ready to show their pictures on TV3 and shame them.
Johnnie Hughes believes that these workers have served the country well and it is time for them to go home and rest. Staying at work literary means increasing the unemployment rate in the country.
“If you are a retiree and you are still larking around the place and you know you have gone on retirement, hand over peacefully and go because we will mention your name and put your picture up. Follow the examples of these senior citizens. Please go so that the young people can get jobs to do. I beg you. If not, there will be no mercy for anybody. I will mention your names and I will put your picture up there.”
“It is the teachers who send me these pictures. I don’t go looking for them. I am sending notice to all the regions that anyone who has retired and still at the office, kindly go. You have served our country well and I don’t want to be the one to be doing that. You have four days in this week and if you are still there next week, I will expose you” he said
He also sent strong message to the President and urged him to stop extending the contracts of these persons. This is because, several young graduates are in the country who are well qualified to do what the retirees are doing.
He showed some pictures of public sector workers who retired when they attained the age of 60. Below are some pictures.
He urged other workers to learn from these two individuals who followed the law and retired as soon as they attained 60 years.

The issue of unemployment is a major problem in the country. Many public sector workers have reduced their ages with the hope of staying at work for a long time. This has prevented the youths from getting vacancies in various work places.

The biggest event on Ghana’s entertainment calendar is set for a night of honours, pomp, and pageantry.
It is a night where musicians who excelled during the year under review will be rewarded through the endorsement of the Telecel Ghana Music Awards Board, the Academy, and the general public.
The Grand Arena, the ideal venue for the 27th TGMA, will host a star-studded audience of musicians, media personalities, businessmen, politicians, actors, and footballers among others.
On this night, the most coveted prize is the Artiste of the Year (AOTY) category, which will see the crowning of a new king or queen of Ghana music.
Two heavyweights in the category, Stonebwoy and Sarkodie, have the opportunity to set an enviable record as the only artistes to win the coveted title for a third time.
Should they fall short, the opportunity shifts to Black Sherif and Diana Hamilton to equal the record of two wins, joining the elite ranks of past double-winners like VIP.
A win for Diana Hamilton, will set her up in a lonely journey at the top as the only gospel musician, to win the Artiste of the Year for the second time.
Alternatively, Wendy Shay could make her debut by winning the award for the first time. This would make her team up with Diana Hamilton as the only female artistes alive to hold the title. The late Ebony, won it posthumously in 2018.
If the title slips past them and falls to Medikal, he will also become a first-time winner, etching his name into the annals of Ghana music history.
Patrons can look forward to electrifying performances from a long list of confirmed artistes, including Black Sherif, Diana Hamilton, Piesie Esther, R2Bees, Medikal, Wendy Shay, Lasmid, Kofi Kinaata, Samini, and Fido, among others.
Beyond the ultimate prize, several other major categories are up for grabs, including Music Video of the Year, New Artiste of the Year, Gospel Artiste of the Year, Most Popular Song of the Year, and Songwriter of the Year.

The fourth edition of International AmoFest lived up to its promise on Saturday, May 2, delivering a vibrant “three-in-one” experience that left the audience at Alliance Française in Accra buzzing.
The night was a masterful blend of sound and stagecraft. Berima Amo, the visionary behind the festival, led an impressive lineup of performers, including Pedro Kastelijns, Martha Apini, Rudy Ray, and Lamisi.
Together, they showcased a fusion of global music and authentic Ghanaian Highlife, staying true to the festival’s mission of preserving Ghana’s original rhythmic soul.
Adding a unique layer to the evening, Uncle Ebo Whyte’s Roverman Productions took to the stage, blending theater with the night’s musical energy.
The experience concluded with a high-energy after-party, fulfilling Berima Amo’s goal of creating a truly immersive and memorable night.
Reflecting on the event’s purpose, Amo emphasised the need for intentionality in protecting Highlife.
He called on every Ghanaian, as well as government institutions, to actively foster an environment where the genre can thrive on the global stage.
The main event followed a successful educational outreach on April 24, where over 250 high school students participated in a Highlife workshop at the Centre for National Culture.
