Ayawaso West Wuogon Member of Parliament John  Dumelo has sought to correct the impression that entering Parliament automatically comes with significant financial rewards.

The actor-turned-politician made the clarification while responding to a question on X about the financial benefits and privileges associated with serving as a Member of Parliament.

According to Dumelo, individuals pursue political office for different reasons, but he does not consider parliamentary service a particularly lucrative venture.

“People have different reasons for wanting to go to Parliament… but money no dey inside like that. You can, however, use your position as an MP as leverage for certain things,” he said.

Dumelo explained that while MPs may have access to opportunities because of the positions they occupy, the parliamentary office itself should not be viewed as a guaranteed avenue for personal wealth.

His comments come amid public discussions about the financial benefits, privileges and opportunities available to elected lawmakers.

Dumelo, who moved from a successful acting career into active politics, has been serving as the MP for Ayawaso West Wuogon after making the transition from entertainment into public service.

Nigerian music star Tiwa Savage has opened up about her views on infidelity, explaining why cheating has never been enough reason for her to end a relationship.

The award-winning singer made the revelation while speaking during a podcast discussion about relationships, love and the experiences that have shaped her approach to dating.

According to Tiwa Savage, she has never walked away from a relationship simply because her partner was unfaithful. She also stressed that she has never cheated on a partner herself.

The singer explained that, for her, relationships are influenced by a range of emotions and circumstances, and cheating alone has never reached the level of a deal breaker.

She disclosed that there have been instances where she chose to leave a relationship, but those decisions were based on other serious concerns rather than infidelity.

Among the issues she mentioned were stealing and drug use, which she considers more serious reasons for reconsidering a relationship.

Tiwa Savage further revealed that she has sometimes walked away from partners over such issues, only for them to return later to apologise. In some cases, she admitted, she accepted their apologies and allowed them back into her life.

The singer recalled that some men had indirectly caused problems in her relationships, leading her to leave temporarily before they later returned to apologise.

However, she maintained that cheating itself has never been sufficient reason for her to permanently end a relationship.

Tiwa Savage also shared that she had previously experienced a situation where a partner cheated on her. Although she forgave him, the relationship eventually ended for a different reason, reinforcing her position that infidelity is not, in her view, an automatic reason for a breakup.

She emphasised that she has never been unfaithful in her relationships and has also never ended a relationship simply because a man cheated on her.

Tiwa Savage’s remarks highlight her personal approach to relationships, particularly her view that infidelity is not necessarily enough to make her walk away from a partner.

Ghanaian Afrobeats musician Kelvyn Boy has joined the growing list of artistes celebrating Stonebwoy following the dancehall star’s landmark performance at the OVO Arena Wembley in London.

Kelvyn Boy expressed his admiration for Stonebwoy during his performance at the National Youth Forum 2026 on Wednesday, August 19, 2026, where he used the platform to acknowledge the achievement of his fellow Ghanaian musician.

Rather than focusing solely on his own performance, Kelvyn Boy took a moment to recognise Stonebwoy’s success on one of the world’s prominent entertainment stages.

“I’m using this opportunity to congratulate Stonebwoy for his London show,” he said.

Stonebwoy recently made history by headlining the OVO Arena Wembley with his BHIM Festival, marking a significant moment for Ghanaian music on the international stage.

The achievement has attracted attention from fans and fellow musicians, particularly as Ghanaian artistes continue to expand their audiences beyond the country.

Following Kelvyn Boy’s congratulatory remarks, a Stonebwoy song was played at the National Youth Forum, after which Kelvyn Boy delivered his own performance to the excitement of the audience.

His appearance combined entertainment with a message of encouragement for young people attending the forum.

The recognition from Kelvyn Boy also highlights the growing visibility of Ghanaian musicians internationally, with artistes increasingly taking their music to major venues and audiences across the world.

For Stonebwoy, the Wembley performance represents another major milestone in a career that has seen him build a strong international following and position himself among Ghana’s leading dancehall acts.

Ghanaian dancehall artiste Shatta Wale has waded into the discussion surrounding Stonebwoy’s recent BHIM Fest concert at the OVO Arena Wembley in the United Kingdom.

Stonebwoy held the much-publicised show at the 12,500-capacity venue, drawing a large crowd.

The concert, however, became a subject of online discussion after videos emerged showing curtains covering some sections of the arena.

Some social media users suggested that the curtains were used to conceal unoccupied sections of the venue, sparking debate over the actual attendance and the concert’s success.

But Shatta Wale does not believe the arrangement should be seen as a problem.

Speaking during a live TikTok session on August 18, 2026, the dancehall artiste said he saw nothing wrong with Stonebwoy covering portions of the venue if that was the decision made by his team.

According to him, reducing the usable space in a large arena can be a deliberate event-planning decision and should not automatically be interpreted as a sign of failure.

“It’s not a shame at all. Maybe you want to use the venue to create a profile for yourself. Do you understand me?” Shatta Wale said.

He explained that an artiste could even book a major venue such as the O2 Arena and strategically limit the area being used depending on the expected turnout.

Shatta Wale argued that what matters is how the artiste understands the size of their audience and plans the event accordingly.

He therefore dismissed suggestions that Stonebwoy had done something wrong by having portions of the Wembley arena covered.

“It’s not that Stonebwoy has done anything wrong. He understood his size and arranged the venue in a way that suited him, and that’s exactly what he has done,” he stated.

The comments come despite the long-standing rivalry between the two Ghanaian dancehall stars, making Shatta Wale’s defence of Stonebwoy particularly notable.

Stonebwoy’s Wembley performance has also been viewed as a significant achievement for Ghanaian music, given the international profile of the venue and the scale of the concert.
