Earlier today, an Accra Circuit Court sentenced Patricia Asiedua, Founder of Heaven Way Champion International Ministry, to 15 years imprisonment with hard labour for charlatanic advertisements and defrauding unsuspecting individuals, including church members, by false pretence.

The case, which commenced in 2022, culminated in the pronouncement of the final judgment today July 3, 2025. The news elicited surprise from numerous individuals, while others expressed satisfaction with her sentencing, asserting that she deserved imprisonment for her crimes, purportedly committed in the name of serving God.

Prophet Agradaa was last seen in public, elegantly attired in white apparel, at the Prayer and Thanksgiving Service held at the forecourt of the State House on Republic Day.

Following her sentencing, she was taken away in a police pickup to an undisclosed location. Her lawyers expressed surprise and discontent, stating that the sentence was excessively harsh, and they intend to appeal the decision in the forthcoming days.

Wango SportsLine! International Football star Diogo Jota dies in fatal car accident.

International football star Diogo Jota has reportedly died in a fatal car accident in Spain according to BBC Sport. The fatal car crash unfortunately killed Diogo Jota and his brother, André. It took place less than two weeks after his wedding day. Jota married his wife, Rute Cardoso, on 22 June 2025.

Here is a statement from the President of the Portuguese Football Federation, Pedro Proenca:

"The Portuguese Football Federation and all of Portuguese football are completely devastated by the death of Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva, this early morning, in Spain.

"Much more than an amazing player, with almost 50 international appearances for the national team, Diogo Jota was an extraordinary person, someone with an infectious joy and a reference in the community itself.

"On my behalf, and on behalf of the Portuguese Football Federation, I express my deepest condolences to the family and friends of Diogo and Andre Silva, as well as Liverpool FC and FC Penafiel, the clubs where, respectively, they played their football.

"The Portuguese Football Federation has already asked Uefa for a minute's silence, this Thursday, before the match of our national team with Spain, in the women's European Championship...

"The loss of Diogo and Andre represent irreplaceable losses for Portuguese football and we will do everything, daily, to honour their legacy."

Less than two weeks ago Diogo Jota and his long-term partner Rute Cardoso tied the knot. The pair, who have three children together, could be seen joyous and gleeful on their special wedding day, on 22 June.

Below are some of the pictures shared on Jota's social media, just last week.

WangoTrivia!

The Titanic rests 3,800 meters (12,500 feet) below the North Atlantic, a pitch black world of crushing pressure and freezing temperatures. On June 18, 2023, OceanGate’s Titan sub attempted this descent, aiming to reach the wreck site.

Made of carbon fiber and titanium, the sub was built for 4,000 meters but catastrophically imploded near the ocean floor. The likely cause was a failure in the carbon fiber hull under extreme pressure.

Inside, there was no space to stand — only enough room for five people to sit. At this depth, the pressure exceeds 5,500 psi, 380 times greater than at the surface, enough to crush steel canisters in milliseconds.

The Titanic, though it ultimately sank, was a massive steel ship with a strong hull and internal compartments. As it sank slowly, water gradually filled those compartments, equalizing the pressure inside and outside. This slow flooding prevented a sudden pressure difference, so the ship wasn’t instantly crushed—it broke apart under stress, but not from a catastrophic implosion.

The OceanGate submersible, on the other hand, was a small, pressurized vessel designed to keep the ocean out entirely. It was made of carbon fiber and titanium, materials chosen for strength and lightness. But at nearly 3,800 meters deep—where pressure is over 6,000 psi (about 400 times atmospheric pressure)—even a tiny flaw in the hull could cause a catastrophic implosion in milliseconds.

That’s exactly what happened: the hull failed, and the pressure crushed it instantly.

So while both were at similar depths, the Titanic was a passive wreck slowly settling, while the sub was an active, sealed vessel fighting against the crushing force of the deep. One was already broken; the other had to stay perfectly intact, but unfortunately it didn’t.

May the souls of those who died in the submersible rest well in Davy Jones Locker...
