My Samsung Galaxy Research

This was the big question i asked some friends this morning but the perfect answer they gave was they will continue to  make a lot of Galaxy line ofr phones. It got me thinking, Are all the Samsung Galaxy phones we see in the shops all from Samsung HQ??

Hell No!! Is the answer most of yall apple lover will be answering me with now. Any way Samsung Galaxy has between 26- 35 of the Galaxy line which ranges from Smartphones to Tablets. They include the Galaxy Mega, note, frame, ace, ace 2, ace 3, S, S2, S3, S4 mini, S3 mini, S4 zoom, S4 active, S4 Nexus, Tab 2, Tab 3, Tab, Note 8.0, Note 10.1, S6, S6 edge, S6 edge plus, S5, Grand duos and Grand Duos 2. 

I almost forgot the A brand but if you have any other brand like the Core or Prime, please Samsung has no brand like that in their list per my research so do the maths...

Samsung also announced in august they will also be adding the Galaxy J and O range to the Family so please check errrthing an dont hate me, hate my research.

Go Higher Tour - Tamale Review

My buddies in Tamale always love to go for shows which has big names attached to it and personally Its a great idea since i get d chance to give you reports from the show. To put the General show in one word, Amazing is the word. This goes to show how many Bhim fans are in the region. The stadium was filled to a maximum and ticket sales at the enterance was a problem since the organisers run out of tickets at sum point. 

Security was doubled and the programme had a late start. Im Told Double Tee and Trinity couldnt perform due to corrupted files being submitted to the DJ of the show. S.K.Y the Tamale Bouy Killed his performance followed by a swagged out Performance from Nandos the Zola Boy. 

Samini hit the stage after VVIPs Skolom performance but im told they performed alot of VIPs tracks making me wonder, was Reggie just watching as they performed or he performed promzys parts??? Another story for another day i guess. 

Everybody knows how Samini goes with a Band yeah? Im told they killed it before Stonebwoy hit the stage. The whole concert ended at 5am with a post from Stonebwoy. Anyway, kudos the the organisers and kudos to the artiste. Keep doing you. 

Forest Whitaker New Ambassador For UN

Its so nice to say this. Forest Whitaker is now the new ambassador for UN WFDI which has set 10 new goals for the project. The project is aimed at Eradicating poverty in Africa. In an interview on BBC's Focus on Africa the celebrity said the project is ongoing and as a brand ambassidor will edo everything in his power to help support the project. He was later on asked if he will ever do a full movie in africa with full african cast and producers but apparently he already did one in South Africa. I think UN made a good choice and we honored he accepted the Challenge to solving poverty. He is UNESCO's newest ambassador. 

Romantic Laughs

Its happening at the Silver Lounge(Accra Mall). It starts at 6:30pm. 

#IBelieve Campaign

SP Kofi Sarpong launches social media campaign ahead of his next Album. He calls it an #IBelieve campaign. It has a lot of great sound engineers on it and its set to be released on the 1st on November. I think every music lover ought to look out for the 2010 GMA gospel song of the Year. He has alot to give us so lets support the campaign. #IBelieve

I have alot of things to say about Empire Season 2 premiere but if i do its gonna be a spoiler for a lot of people. All i can say for those who haven't seen the first episode which was released two nights ago is, this season is gonna be stompt. 

Spoiler alert, Cookie on fire in this first episode. Check her out and watch it every wednesday night, or Download it if you can. Will keep you posted. I was thinking about doing a review on it for those who cant watch it. That wont be a bad idea... Or would it???
