Ghanaian musician, Stonebwoy and his wife, Dr. Louisa, who heads the Livingstone Foundation, marked this year’s World Sight Day with an achievement.
Every October 10, eye specialists worldwide raise awareness about the importance of eye care in young people and inspire children everywhere to love their eyes.
Globally, over two billion people suffer from vision impairment. At least 1 billion of these cases could have been prevented or are yet to be addressed.
The case of young Michael Akpabi, a one-year-old victim of Conjunctivitis, came to the attention of Stonebwoy’s Livingstone Foundation, led by his wife.
Conjunctivitis, also known as pink eye, is an irritation or inflammation of the conjunctiva often caused by allergies or an infection.
The Livingstone Foundation came to the boy’s aid. The charity organization offered essential supplies and financial assistance to cover the one-year-old’s medical bills. Before-and-after videos of young Akpabi’s condition impressed many fans.
Fans hail Stonebwoy and Dr. Louisa’s efforts toward Michael Akpabi.

Ghanaian dancehall musician previewed his upcoming music collaboration with Nigerian singer Duncan Mighty.
Celebrated actress, Nadia Buari hosted an indoor game show with the cast of her upcoming “Forever In A Night” movie, including Stonebwoy.
The movie, produced by Nadia’s production company, N.S.B Studios, and featuring her sister, Samera Buari, and prominent Ghanaian actors like Paulina Oduro, Godwin Namboh, and Queenstar Anaafi, will premiere at the Silverbird Cinemas on November 9, 2024.
The “Find The Lyric” challenge game required the dancehall musician to perform multiple songs with some particular words in ten seconds.
The BHIM Nation leader, whose “Jejereje” song was featured in West Ham United’s TikTok video, delivered an impressive freestyle of his “Betta Thing” song with Duncan Mighty from his upcoming sixth studio album, “Up And Running”.
In other related news, Stonebwoy ramped up efforts toward his upcoming album ‘UPXRUNNIN6’ scheduled for release on October 24.
The upcoming project will be the Afro-dancehall pioneer’s sixth LP following the high-striding 5th Dimension project released last year.
On October 10, Stonebwoy gave fans a first look at the album as he shared the opportunity for fans to pre-save.
The album will have 13 tracks and four songs, including “Your Body”, “Ekelebe” featuring ODUMODUBLVCK, “Jejereje” featuring Ginton, and “Pray for Me” featuring Wyclef Jean, which are already out.
The new tracklist features Ghana’s Larruso, Nigeria’s Duncan Mighty, London’s Amaria BB, Bonaire Island’s IR Sais, and South Florida’s Kaylan Arnold.
Other notable names include Blvk H3ro, Chi Ching, and Sp Jamaica’s dancehall queen Spice, who was nominated for Best Reggae Album at the 64th Grammy Awards in 2022. She’s the only female dancehall star to register over 200 million pure sales from one album.
Stonebwoy described his ‘UPXRUNNIN6’ project as a “complimentary and supplementary” to 5th Dimension, which brought several milestones, including a sold-out Europe tour, a Grammy consideration, and a sold-out concert at the 40k-capacity Accra Sports Stadium.
Considering his remarks about other collaborations with Rick Ross and Friday, fans expect to see more additions to the lineup.
