]]> The third annual Ghana Soybean Kick-Off event that showcases the latest advances in Soybean development in Africa, has been held with a call on the USAID through its Feed the Future programme, to expand its research on Soybean development in Ghana.

Dubbed: “Showcasing Innovations and Technologies to Improve Soybean Yields”, it is the only Soybean dedicated forum in Ghana, that brings together the public and private sector players to discuss critical challenges and opportunities within the Soybean value chain.

According to Deputy Director of the Savanna Agriculture Research Institute (SARI), of the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research, Dr. Roger Kanton, the USAID Feed the Future programme research on Soybean has been on a limited and a prioritized scale.

He nonetheless commended the USAID Feed the Future programme for its research on Soybean development in Northern Ghana, and believes upscaling the project to cover several communities could improve the living standards of beneficiary farmers and other stakeholders within the value chain

The event organized by the Catholic Relief Services, SARI, and the World Food Programme, showcased the latest advances in Soybean development in Africa.

Over 200 participants including processing firms, industrialists, farmers and other soybean value chain stakeholders and development organizations attended the event.

The USAID Food Security Specialist, Ms. Grace Sebugah, said through Feed the Future, USAID partners with the government of Ghana, and research institutions including SARI, to improve Soybean breeding, production and utilization.

The participants were taken through a tour of Soybean farms where diverse trials of soil pH correction, weed control, production input packages and seeding density are being conducted.

Also, they saw new high-yielding locally adapted ready to be released Soybean varieties, and learnt more about soil fertility testing, as well as demonstrations of the latest innovations in small scale mechanization.

There were also exhibitions of diverse products from Soybean, which serves as a raw material beyond food.

Six months after the death of his buddy-buddy, Ronnie Coaches, Prince Bright, the other half of the hiplife duo, Buk Bak, says  he is yet to pick up the pieces let alone record a new song.

Speaking in a telephone interview from his US base last Saturday, Bright sounded completely down and shaken, almost as if Ronnie had just died. “I wake up in the morning and the next thing I ask myself is, where is Ronnie? I am not feeling cool at all,” he said.

Ronnie Coaches died on November 21, 2013 at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital after a short illness .The hit songs he and Bright have been popular for include Komi Ke Kena, Gonja Barracks, U 4 Know, Chingilingi, Klu Blofo, Oburoni, Tankase and Kolom.

“All we did and talked about was music” Bright told Showbiz. “ He would often call and ask me, ‘what are you doing in America? Come and let’s make music’. We have done so much on all platforms but there was still a lot to be done.

“Ronnie used to push everything, he was the motivator. Let’s do this and he gets it done. He was my eyes and ears. I was the baby in Buk Bak, he was always pampering me. I am still in shock,” he said.

“Ronnie respected  himself and we both stayed out of trouble, our office was music, music was his everything. We never smoked or drank alcohol and we always believed in ourselves and never had a beef with anyone. We used to have our little fights, just the two of us. We fought to achieve good results,” he said.

Considering how peaceful Ronnie was, Bright said he was very sad that all sorts of things were said about Ronnie after he passed on.

“We are all human beings and it hurts so badly some of the things I heard being said about my brother,” he said.

Bright said that they had lots of songs ready to go and Ronnie was working so hard and waiting for him  to come down so they could shoot the music videos.

“As you know we don’t go by the trend, we sing from our hearts.”

Their last hit song before the death of Ronnie, Kolom, according to Bright, was doing very well in Ireland and the US.

“I miss music but I miss Ronnie more. I don’t know where to start from and where to end. I am looking up to God to make a way for me.”

Bright used the opportunity to thank all who mourned with him before, during and after the burial of Ronnie Coaches.
