Bolt, the leading ride-hailing platform in Ghana, has re-introduced Bolt Comfort, a ride option suitable for one or more passengers and a better experience in Accra. A roll-out will also happen this December in Kumasi.

The category is perfect for more discerning passengers, young professionals, students, and groups of friends who need more legroom to have great experiences as they move around the city.

Drivers in this ride-type will only be eligible if they are driving a 2010 or newer model saloon car or SUV that offers more comfort and spaciousness on a ride. Therefore, passengers can expect a more premium service when hailing a Bolt Comfort ride.

Commenting on this exciting development, David Kotei Nikoi, Country Manager, Bolt Ghana said that Bolt Comfort is crafted with the passengers’ comfort in mind so vehicles in this category have been carefully selected to ensure that each ride meets the utmost comfort standards.

Additionally, all Bolt Comfort drivers are top-rated drivers. Hence, a passenger who requests a ride from the comfort category will be driven by Bolt’s best-in-class drivers who have a track record of delivering 5-star services. Typically, these drivers enjoy higher ratings because they accept trips quickly and arrive at the collection point timeously, offering passengers the kind of reliability they expect when navigating a business day crammed full of appointments and meetings.

Furthermore, as the leading ride-hailing service that prioritizes superior services matched with affordability, all Bolt Comfort offerings come at affordable fare so no matter the budget, it is easy to stretch out, catch up on work and simply relax on a Bolt Comfort option.

Businesses should take advantage of Bolt Comfort for their staff and executives, as the ride-type offers a comfortable and spacious option that is affordable and cost-effective.

“Bolt Comfort offers an affordable yet comfortable option for discerning commuters looking for the reliability of a highly rated driver,” noted David Kotei Nikoi. “This new offering expands the range of options available to Bolt customers, and further iterates Bolt Ghana’s commitment to providing superior and optimum passenger experience to the discerning customer”, he added.

Chief Writer for The Atlantic, David Ornstein believes Thomas Partey has left Arsenal fans down following his slow start at the club.

The Ghana midfielder has come under pressure following his dwindling performance at the club.

The 28-year-old has however struggled to deal with the intensive of the Premier League which has resulted to a lot of injuries.

Partey was in action in their 3-2 Manchester United last week Thursday at Old Trafford.

Ornstein, speaking on the performance of Partey against the Red Devils says the midfielder has failed to produce the quality the club were hoping to get in midfield.

“After the defeat to Manchester United, Mikel Arteta pointed out that they need experienced players in midfield and Thomas Partey was signed for that exact reason and he has not been able to produce that quality we were expecting from him so far,” he told Sky Sports.

“I do think this is an area where Arsenal were hoping to strengthen and they have brought in Albert Sambi Lokonga and I think they will need one more this summer,” he added.

Partey joined Arsenal from Athletico Madrid in a deal worth £45m. He has featured 19 times for the club in all competitions with a goal to his credit.

During Saturday, December 4,2021’s edition of popular TV show,’ United Showbiz’ hosted by award-winning Kumawood actress Nana Ama Mcbrown on UTV, the host and her pundits celebrated Ghanaians making the country proud with sold out overseas concerts.

They mentioned award-winning singer King Promise and applauded his efforts after performing excellently at Wizkid’s Made In Lagos Concert.

They also thanked Wizkid for giving a Ghanaian the opportunity to show his craft. Nana Ama Mcbrown also mentioned Stonebwoy’s spectacular performance at the O2 Indigo and asked the opinions of his pundits.

Manager of Shatta Wale, Lawrence Asiamah Hansen aka Bulldog who was one of the pundits made some submissions that suggested he was not really on good terms with the ‘Hero’ hitmaker.

While other pundits on the show A Plus, and Arnold Asamoah Baidoo together with the host Nana Ama Mcbrown agreed that the dancehall musician did great, Bulldog said there was nothing to celebrate.

His words did not sit well with A Plus who countered Bulldog saying Shatta Wale is yet to achieve such feet.

However, another ardent manager who seems not to be pleased with Bulldog’s utterances on the show against Stonebwoy happens to be the current manager of celebrated Kumawood actor Kojo Nkansah better known as Lil Win, Ray Moni.

In a facebook post sighted by Hotfmghana.com, Ray Moni after sharing a photo together with Lil Win wrote:

“Pride, anger and hatred are fruits from the same garden that poison the world when ripe. a leader doesn’t cultivate such fruits.”

Ray’s post has created elephantine controversy on social media as it’s being linked to Bulldog’s submission against Stonebwoy.

All attempts by Hotfmghana.com to reach Ray Moni who is the former manager of celebrated rapper, Guru to ascertain the truth of the matter proved unproductive.

Well, read Ray’s post below and be the judge.

The 28-year-old who joined the Premier League side from Athletico Madrid in a deal worth 45 million pounds has failed to produce the quality the club were expecting due to injuries

Partey has, however, come under pressure due to his sluggish performance.

Speaking following their defeat to Manchester United last week Thursday, the midfielder said he is yet to get to his best form for the club.

“I think the team came out to win, we did everything we could, we played well, we created a lot of chances and I think that we were unlucky,” Partey said in an interview with arsenal.com.

“They scored two goals and then a penalty. The team tried to improve, go forward and look for a goal, for the equaliser, but in the end, it’s football, we have to forget about this game, we have to think of our next game, we have to do better and also to win.

“The team is improving, each and everyone is doing our best. For me, I have to keep on doing my best, keep trying, keep improving, try to come back to my best, because the team needs me, the team needs us.

“I think we’re improving each day and it’s gonna be good. If we want to be at the top it’s normal that we have to fight, we have to be under control and try to win the games,” he added.

Partey will be hoping to help Arsenal to record a win when they travel to Everton on Monday night football.
