Once every year in July the chiefs and people of Nungua celebrate the Kplejoo festival.

Kplejoo is traditionally celebrated as a forerunner to the annual Homowo festival celebrated by other Ga lineages in the Greater Accra Region during which the Traditional Priest and Priestesses perform various rites in honour of the gods and pray for bountiful food and fish harvest.

It is a song- and drum-based celebration which sees the people of the land sing special songs and perform one special activity called “Obeneshimo” which signifies the journey of the Ga people from Israel to their present settlements.

Over the years, the culturally and historically rich festival has been celebrated somewhat on the quiet, but all that is about to change as the Chiefs and people of Nungua gear up to make Kplejoo a National Celebration with immense tourism and creative arts benefits starting July 2019!

Welcome July in Nungua! An annual event designed to inject some extra splendor and spectacle that takes Kplejoo beyond the festival it’s always been known to be to a weekend long event that brings together artisans, businesses, celebrities and people from all over the world.

No 'Shower Hour' On Big Brother Naija - Says MultiChoice

By
As preparations are in top gear for the second edition of social reality TV show, Big Brother Nigeria, organisers have revealed that there will be no broadcast of nude footage called ‘Shower Hour’, when the show returns on January 22, 2017. This comes to some fans as ‘decent’, following the controversies generated by that segment of the show, during the now rested continental edition, Big Brother Africa (BBA). MultiChoice is bringing back the Nigerian version of the series after 10 years. It had announced after the last edition of BBA that each African country will stage the show henceforth. Renamed Big Brother Naija, the show will have 12 housemates who will compete for the prize of N25 million and a brand new KIA Sorento car. Sponsored by PayPorte, the program will run for 78 days, starting 22 January 2017 with a two-hour, live, televised launch and end on 9 April 2017 with a two-hour, live, televised finale.

When the Big Brother Naija All-Stars house first opened on July 23, the curious eyes of fans picked up on the parrot. It wasn’t just that it seemed out of place; it was also a little weird and didn’t match the decor.
