I just got a phone call from one Mr.William Dedzrah who claims to be the Communications Director of Insignia Group, the organizers and producers of Miss Universe Ghana pageant and to my surprise, he simply placed the call from his Ghana phone number ending 52029 to insult me for expressing my honest opinion about their choosing of Miss Yayra Erica Nego as the winner of Miss Universe Ghana.
Mr William Dedzrah started his insults with threats that my blog is defaming his contestant and strongly asked that we desist from expressing our opinions or discussing their winner-Miss Yayra Erica Nego.
When did it become a crime and under which law is it a crime for a person to hold an OPINION? You won’t believe how ill mannered Mr William Bedzrah became on the phone by shouting on top of his voice and demanding that whatever questions I have, I should ask him instantly.
He shouted ‘coward, you are stupid and an idiot journalist, do you know what your stupid journalism has caused us? I am coming to UK tomorrow and so ask me whatever you want. Do you know Erica, why are you hating on her? She is a citizen of Ghana and she has the right to win’.
Receiving insults and rants on phone from people for expressing my opinion on public issues is nothing new to me, however, what I will not tolerate from people like Mr William Bedzrah is threats and false accusation.
In the midst of his insults and shouting, William Bedzrah accused me of having created ‘some facebook page’ to tarnish the image of their chosen winner. He continued by saying, I should remove all photos of Miss Yayra Erica Nego on this blog and the ‘facebook page’ I am supposed to have created. What the heck? What facebook page is he talking about?
So is this one of the persons behind the wheels of Miss Universe Ghana? I’m totally disappointed. I Pray for the pageant and it’s contestants.
With such ill mannerisms, aggressive efforts to keep people silent from expressing their opinion and threats being sent just because I questioned certain things I could not come to terms with concerning the crowning of Miss Yayra Erica Nego, then I will end this post by saying: the Pagaent must be closely audited and checked by those concerned because I smell a rotten fish in there…
I recorded the conversation, insults and threats that the Communications Director of the INSIGNIA Group,Organizers & Producers of Miss Universe Ghana sent, I will probably publish them after talking to certain legal experts.
And he said, I should find a better job to do and stop writing crap. Maybe I will consider looking for a job but surely It will not be getting involved with any scamming beauty pageant…Cockroach !

Oh, you see the sort of fools and scammers that are in the offices of the Miss Universe Ghana. So what was the purpose of his call?
So it has caused them? The truth will come out soon. All they have been doing over years is to scam people and now is the time, Donald Trump and his office need to read this, Chris, just send the links to both articles to the head office of Miss Universe in USA.
Let me add my own too. NONSENSE. This only can happen in Ghana and no where else
Dang GC, u are pissin ppl off lol so what was he hoping to gain from this call? Am curious? Anyway look if this dude is so sure of himself and what they are doing why the noise and fuss? I heard about that Facebook page 😀 jokes seems more ppl are pissed at this and he is aiming it at y’all!
guys give it to him.
This same people called me few hours ago to threaten me and said, I will see what will happen to me, I will suffer this.
It is really sad that for doing one’s work and criticizing a public event, the organizers will come up like this, instead of addressing the contentious issue. God save Ghana, God save us all
@Ebenezer Anangfio,
Me personally I have no problem with her winning, if she is Ghanaian thats all that matters
HOWEVER,
my problem is with the shady, secretive organization of Miss Uni Gh
do they think we are fools, why do they organize it in hiding, when it involves choosing someone who will represent the nation at an international event
When the Black Stars are playing qualifiers for the World Cup do they do it in hding
NO!
So this should be done in the open, or they think they are about the Ghanain public and other pagaents like Malaika,MsGhana, Ghanas Most Beautiful are stupid for including the public in the decision process eh
Those pagaents do it because they want the public to play a role in deciding who gets to represent them.
@Ebi,
*above the Ghanaian public* sorry
@Ebi, Say it again, And when someone decide to ask questions that need explanation, instead of them proving answers, they call to insult, send threats and cheapen their pageant with ill mannerism…
I find it so hard to believe that, folks still think in today’s world, you can intimidate and undermine people’s freedom to hold an opinion and express them especially when it comes to issues of public concern
@Posted By: Chris-Vincent Agyapong Febiri,
FUCK YOU CHRIS.. THIS IS 2011..IF BARRACK OBAMA CAN BE PRESIDENT THEN WHY CANT SHE BECOME MISS UNIVERSE IN GHANA
@john,
@John, are u okay?
The problem is not her it is the organization and the way she was chosen (in secrecy)
There is nothing wrong with her winning, she is beautiful and if she is smart, Ghanaian and also qualified to participate then more grease to her elbows
but u cannot hold a national pagaent under those circumstances and declare a winner and expect people to be cool
@Ebi,
I am pissed cuz Ghanacelebrities.com always hate for no reason. I dont like ppl hating on other ppl for no reason
@john, yeah it’s 2011, your year of extreme madness nd stupidity……..you’re an idiot and u’ll forever remain one…why do u think the media(print, electronic etc) is der? to publish ur ugly fotos or carry stories abou the church ? the one who called Chris is a fool but u are a bigger fool for defending it……if u have nothin to say, don’t say nothing…..
@Opanin,Hahahaha go easy on him bro, this guy is on some heavy medication
@john, you are a big cockroach, what has obama got to do with this and why insult chris for speaking his mind, if the organisers have nothing to hide then why organise things in seceret, i strongly believe this miss universe thing has to do with rubbing of palms or who can sleep with those in charge than who deserve it most.
if you dont agree with what g.c writes and stop viviting their site u idiot. as the for the communication director of insignia, he better get this straight, gone are the days when u can just pick the fon and call to threaten someone and the person will panick and say yes sir , sorry sir , we have passed that primitive age long ago, has he not heared of freedom of speach? how can he say this article written by Chris has affected them so much , it means they did not do their job well, Chris is not saying the girl is not pretty , all he is saying is she cant sell Ghana out, she dosent live in ghana……. John you such an ass hole ………
@john, You can’t compare this issue to Barack Obama’s election! Barack satisfied the requirements to run for president including LIVING permanently in the States for the required period of time!
On the other hand, we don’t know if this girl satisfied the requirements for this event and I believe Chris was trying to question this woman and the organization to make sure that she became miss universe Ghana fairly without any corruption!
you cant compare this issue to barack obama because it is not only her complexion that raises skeptism, but her background too! according to what I’ve read so far, she can’t even speak a ghanian language and shes too westernized!
@Posted By: Chris-Vincent Agyapong Febiri,
Report it to the police, leave us alone!!!!!!. I dont think you expect me to be coming here everyday to read stories like this.
@ka,Is it by force? Did anyone force you to come here? It is their blog, if they decide to write about the food they ate last night or their cats, they can do that. This is nkwasiasem you are saying. Go start your own blog and then do what you want there. Are you paying them anyone to do this?
@TiffanyBabe,
women need to stay home and cook for their man..
@Ebi, dont mind them….they did same last year…no public voting and all we realised was a winner who was sent to the states to represent gh…wonder hw they chose this thing called miss universe….ey3 asem ohh
@john, yep ghanacelebrities.com sometimes hate on other pple,bt with this issue they were only bringing out a concern.
Take me for example, if it wasn’t for this site i wud not have known there was a Miss Universe going out to represent gH.

@Miyagi,
I dont think the problem is with her being mixed race, saying that she doesnt deserve the crown because of that is just wrong
the problem is how she was chosen, that is all, and why the organzers are trying to be shady
@Ebi, you got a point I’m still looking into the whole story and I will surely comeback on it
@Miyagi,
Fuck you Miyagi…Fuck you for talking trash…You dont know anything..I would bitch slap you if i see you in person….You fuckin cunt

This is a Kangaroo pageant. You CANNOT choose a delegate to represent an entire nation (Ghana)by organizing a small party with your friends in a tiny hallway, and called it Miss Universe Ghana pageant!. besides, the chick lives in USA and has no knowledge whatsoever about Ghana. Can this chick even sing the Ghanaian National Anthem? Does she even think we have a national anthem? What platform is she running on,education? has she any knowledge about Ghanaian education system? Ask this chick her knowledge about Ghana,and this argument would end! scammers!
@John Berko Danso, sooo true….wonder hw
Fool! This is NOT about light skin or dark skin! There are lots of Ghanaian light-skins! my sisters are light-skins as well. The point is THIS CHICK shouldn’t be anywhere near this competition, due to the fact that she cannot represent the Republic of Ghana in any pageant. She has no knowledge of the culture, food,language and etc.Is she a Ghanaian citizen? I can bet my last penny on her not even HOLDING a Ghanaian CITIZENSHIP as well. Representing a country is not a small feat that should be left to outsiders!
@John Berko-Danso,
Fool shut up…She is half Ghana and that means she can represent Ghana….Barack Obama is the president of America and he is black
@john,
You are an ASSHOLE! Barack Obama was born in USA! Has an American Passport,knows American Culture, Language,History and etc! Obama didn’t run for Kenyan Presidency ! You should fucking go back and watch her miss Minnesota pageant videos (her answers) and you would learn a thing or two about your candidate’s citizenship!
@john berko-Danso,
You fucking idiot I bet everything you would have shut the fuck up if she had a dark skin..you are fucking racist..This girl is Ghanain plain and simple… YOu guys are Jealous..That Chris guy dont know shit..He is fucking hater…He hates on so many people including Yvonne Nelson for no reason
@john,
LMFAO!!!! herh John, honestly u just made my nyt…. r u that stupid???? did u really read the article well? or maybe u didnt understand it, uh? well lemme break it down for u….no WAIT!!!! i guess if i break it down fr u, u still wont get it, anyway, its all good, u are just an ignorant person, i understand, its allowed in our society, but next time, please read an article about 5 times before u think about commenting on it… Have a great day hun 🙂
@gemzy_angel,
i dont have time for bitches like ya…hoe
@john
You’re fucking retarded! complete Non compos mentis! Ask your fucking delegate her knowledge about Ghana and come back! watch
@john berko-Danso,
Man you are a fucking retard yourself for being a hater..Where do you live? This girl is a Ghanain.. She has ewe name and she has every right like every Ghanaian to stand for any pageant show in Ghana..You are just a hater and Ghana Celebrities.com is full of jealous dudes who dont know shit
@john berko-Danso,
where do you live?? I believe you probably live in the village somewhere in Ghana so you dont know shit
@john,
You’re an abysmally nincompoop.I live right here in Beverly Hills, CA! Fucking as hole. I hope you’ve ever heard it. For your information I went to NYU! How are you going to have someone represent a country she has no knowledge of? Fucking go back and ask your CLIENT her knowledge about the country you picked her to represent. Even Green Card holders cannot run for Miss USA.Did you read her answers to her Miss Minnesota Pageant? She a complete American my, friend!
You’re a simpleton! skin tone has nothing whatsoever in this conversation. For your information,I’m a light skinned (Half-caste) myself,and I do have two light skinned sisters who Ghanaians as well. GO FIGURE!!
I’m done with you,PUNK!
@John Berko-Danso,
Bitch I live in new York.. I live in the hood where niggas gangbang eryday..We hustle hard eeryday to make a living… Beverly Hills is full of rich motherfucking retards like you..You sound like a cock sucker you fucking homo thug
@john, idiot……who thought u such a worm infested english, “she’s half Ghana”??? no wonder u don’t understand the article…u’re an uneducated fool…….kwasia
@Opanin,
Opanin you are a fag..Come say those shits in front of me and I’ll teach you a good lesson..I probably dont write good but i speak way better than you do…WHy dont you show me where you live and imma come bitch slap you…This site is full of homosexuals and bisexuals like you and chris
@john, if the site is full of homosexuals den u’re one….i now understand where u get all ur stupidity from.u’ve been usin an illegal gate to enter paradise……u might be sufferin from it’s curse….look for Prophet1 or Bishop Obinim, maybe dey can help u…dats if it’s not too late…
forget ur speakin and concentrate on ur reading…..it’s obvious,u don’t understand wht u read…
@Opanin, LOL…….hahahahahaaaa dats classic, “using an illegal gate to enter paradise”. Anyway, some ppls ignorance knows no boundaries, whatever u say is not gonna make a difference to them either for lack of comprehension or just plain ignorance. All we can do is pray that along the way they see the light or whatever it is to make them understand whats being asked of them. Stop wasting ur time cos whatever u say/write isn’t gonna make a difference to him although his reasons have no merit or logic for that matter. Sad isn’t it?
@john,Oh! Lord Jesus deliver dis boy 4rm MADNESS.amen
@Miyagi,
Foolish boy…grow up and dont fucking use Jesus name like that..You fucking need to be delivered from trash talking….BItch boy
@john,WARNING: EXTREME AMOUNTS OF PROFANE LANGUAGE Are you really retarded or is it just a hobby
@Miyagi, n opanin please don’t waste your precious time on a sycophant
@john its simple , if you don’t like what chris writes whyy waste your time here
This is exactly why GHANA and Africa is centuries behind. We have sooooooooooooooooo much to learn. People really need to educate themselves. We live in a free world where one is entitled to their opinion. Therefore, to try to intimidate someone for having an opinion is just delusional. I guess the truth do hurt after all. God help Ghana and Africa!
wow i have always been under the impression that whoever wins miss ghana represent ghana at the miss universe. no wonder i didn’t even knw they had a seperate organisation for it cos its done in secret. ghanaians and their threats yet they can’t do shit
Why don’t Ghanaians come together for once and have a peaceful protest and boycott this pageant and or force her (not physically) to stepdown. I don’t hve anything against the girl its nice that her late father was a ghanain man but I just think it is one thing to be JUST MIXED wit Ghanaian and living in America compared to be mixed wit Ghanaian living in America and actually GROWING UP, LIVING AND EMEBRACING GHANAIAN HERITAGE FROM YOUNG, which and that the pagent should stand for – I’m sorry to say does not seem like that’s the case here from what I am seeing and reading, smells like an opportunist to me…..Please Ghanaians I beg mek u choose wisely o don let people use us for dey own bettament.
iz sad ooo
whoever wins miss universe Ghana represents Miss Universe world and who ever wins Miss Ghana represents Miss World. I think they are 2 separate pageants
@jeff, @ Madam Social
@jeff, ooh ok ….thanx man
Do people in Ghana know that others can free express their opinion even if they dont like that opinion especially when it is an issue of national or public interest?
How old is this man who called you? And they have made this bush man the communications what? Bush man, bush people, bush pageant. We will see who will support this scam and their so called winner
@john,You’re an abysmally nincompoop.I live right here in Beverly Hills, CA! Fucking as hole. I hope you’ve ever heard it. For your information I went to NYU! How are you going to have someone represent a country she has no knowledge of? Fucking go back and ask your CLIENT her knowledge about the country you picked her to represent.

@john Berko-Danso,
Man shut up..no one cares bout Beverly Hills, its full of idiots like Lindsay Lohan, Jay Leno and pedophiles
@john, Shut up you dumbass your not only stupid but also a useless boy, see what your so called “Zoo Hood” has done to you idiot you sound like a rejected person in a Gorilla family trying to lay your anger on another person Thank you for your kind attention to and expected cooperation in this matter dumbass
@Miyagi,
Miyagi seriously fuck you…You just mad cuz I bet you a 100 percent i look better than you and my family look better than yours…Assholes like you dont need my attention.. cock sucker
@john,w’abo dam dan duri manga bɛɛma kotobonku whatever Zoo Village you came from please return before you get high blood pressure gyimi-gyimi you wish you where that beautiful
@Miyagi,
gymifour… im cuter than you.. b33ma gyimifour…grow up
@ john.personally, i dont have anything against this girl. she is a pretty and innocent girl who has been caught up in all this hulabaloo. I think she is Ghanaian 100% so long as a parent is fom Ghana.
but the issue is this; how can a person who knows next to nothing about Ghanaian culture represent ghana at an internatiional pageant. what fascinates the whites most about africans n ghanaians in general is our culture so how do u send out an ambassador who lacks this basic requirement.
this whole thing is fundamentally flawed.
@nanak,
I respect you nana k but that guy Chris doesn’t know how to report stories…I think he should go back to school an learn how to be a journalist
@john,who told you he is a journalist
@John gangster wannabe loool who told you i am a gangster dude that aint my lifestyle NY Bonker did you take your medicine i can see that your clearly going mad behind your desktop Fool wise up and grow up
@Miyagi,
stop rapping cuz your lyrics sucks and you dont make sense..idiot
@john, dude who is rapping hahah i guess your getting paranoid, dude read my sword razor Tonguemeans your days are done your big headed in more ways than one. Do you really want it
@John John you sound like a lil midget with a pregnant head
@ john
n please read “The Audacity of Hope” n u will find out just how much Barack Obama knows about america
@nanak,
Nana the problem I have is that the only reason this people hating is cuz this girl looks white..IF she was fully black I believe they wont be acting this way towards her…IF this girl was 100% black and still didnt know anything about Ghana, I believe people wouldn’t say anthing…
@john, hmmm….interesting point you have there.
I want to see an interview of her talking about Ghana I highly doubt that she’s in touch with the country! Does she speak any ghanaian languages? does she know any Ghanaian food? Was she hand picked? Or is it because she got more experience than her fellow contestants? Do they really think she can win for Ghana well will see what will happen Word of advice Don’t disgrace Ghana like what CONFIDENCE did in the Big Brother Africa opening her pussy to the entire world
What is all the fuss about?
How do we know for sure the allegations of insults by “William” was true and who confirmed the identity of the said caller? Grow up people! A half baked story is as dangerious as Osama’s thinking. You are however free to express your opinions.
Chris, I asked you prevoiusly under the first article on this issue whether or not you communicated with anyone from the organaztion to obtain some answers on eligibility and you informed me that up to that point you did not. It is prudent for you to get some answers from them and stop behaving childishly. You informed your readers in the original article that your friend was one of the judges (I can’t imagine this pageant being a secret, as some comments suggests, when someone from the media was a part of the judging panel. Your original article questioned whether or not Ms. Nego was a good representative because you believed that she may not be knowledgable of the Ghanaian. How can her knowledge or lack of knowledge be determine if we haven’t spoken to her or she has not confirmed this one way or another? These are baseless assumptions. Can it be categorically stated that Ms. Nego has not lived in Ghana for the last six months as some commenters seem to think? This irate “representative” has a right to express his anger the same way you can express your opinion. I am glad he did. You are very cunning in getting your commenters to express themselves and their opinion that shifts any defametory responsibility from you. I caution you to be very careful, it only takes a slip to cross the line. Why don’t you take the time to get the full details on this matter and write a comprehensive story rather than all this sensational nonesense, that, in my opinion which at first glance, seem like someone is seeking to have mob support behind his lack of professionalism.
@Kr,
i agree that chris is at fault for not investigating the girls background because as at now we do not know as fact what the girl kniw and doesnt know about ghana we are all basing ou arguments on assumption which is wrong. Chris of all ppl ( a lawyer) should know that. HOWEVER all of this could have been avoided if the pagaent was open and free for all public to be involved in then we will know for ourselves what is what. Because if Chris hadnt made this article it would not have been announced anywhere that someone had been chosen to represent us on the international scene and that is wrong
Why should I investigate first before expressing an opinion? I am perfectly allowed to express an opinion based on what I have seen or read….Did I make any claim that I was stating as a matter of what that her background is that and that? All I said is, from seeing the videos and photos, I am not convinced on a number of things… I just expressed my opinion as everybody does in life when we wake up… You express your opinion about so many things…You have every right to do that…
Recent, a celeb expressed his opinion saying Obama is the biggest terrorist! Did he do any investigation? Did you see Obama calling him to insult or threaten him? I think you have to get used to when people are merely expressing their opinions and when they are stating facts!
@Posted By: Chris-Vincent Agyapong Febiri, That is why such misinformed statements are called ignorant opinions.You are right though,it is your opinion but it doesnt help your credibility talking about something based on how the video or photo looks.I have watched the video and seen the photos too.I wonder what makes you say she might not be the best representative for Ghana,solely based on it.There is no clear or subtle indication that she doesnt know about Ghana.In the video there was no opportunity or challenge for her to prove her “Ghanaianess”.I haven’t seen a video of the pageant,it could prove you wrong or prove you right.When you say in your final comments that she not hearing or getting what the interviewer said(because he has a thick accent) means she is not familiar with the Ghanaian accent, which in effect means she does not know about Ghana.That is just flawed logic.It shows you have an inherent bias based on like you said “how it looks”…The same bias that the people who demanded Obama’s birth certificate have but still maintain they are not racist.What you did is called Stereotyping.
@Bibie, thank you for your comment in response to mine. I would like to see any information you may have come across that supports your comment that the pageant was not opened and free to the public. I honestly cannot say one way or another that it was or wasn’t. I would appreciate this info if you have it. Thx again.
Ok, for those of you who write articles and say they are not journalists and don’t believe they have to investigate anything but go on to investigate the rules of the Miss Universe pageant (sounds like investigation to me), here are some updates.
I spoke to Ms. Annette Cammer of the Miss Universe pageant, she is the Director, International Licensing at the New York office, this morning (at 10:04 am US time). She informed me that they are aware of the situation, as they were contacted by the director of the Miss Universe Ghana pageant. Ms. Cammer informed me that eligibility of contestants with dual citizenship is essentially to varify, the contestant’s primary and permanent residency, since some contestants do live outside of their home country for educational purposes. Additionally, information shared with me by the organization’s representative is that varyfication of primary and permanent residency will and can be made through contestants’ driver license, proven credit card statements, etc. Now I know that I am not a journalist nor a blogger but it was not difficult to get this information. A mere phone call to the Miss Universe office in New York did the trick. Please seek to substantiate things you write when in doubt. Opinion does not relieve one from being responsible.
When last I checked, bloggers do have some protection under the realm of journalists ‘rights’ so don’t be foolish not to be responsible in reporting. For those who are law students but acting like a licensed lawyer be extremely careful, finding ones self at the end of a lawsuit is not pretty. For those who just wants the sensationalism, to insult people and tell other to come off the site (but respond to the comments anyway, so damn stupid) but not the facts I would appreciate their non response to this post. I am not solicitating any response just giving information for those who are intelligent enough to want to understand what is going on with this issue once and for all.
@Kr, Are you paid for this? Cant you find a job to do than to go about reading blogs and calling people’s office. Did Chris send you or anyone from GC ask you?
You sound like a bitter woman with nothing to do with your time. The person who even owes the blog and questioned the Miss Universe did not have time on his hands or did not think it was necessary to make any call.
Foolish fool like you who wants to kill things are going about making phone calls. I don’t blame your stupid self, I blame Chris for creating a platform for fools like you to have access to some information. If Chris did not make his opinion on this pageant known, would you have even known about it or make any call?
You want us to clap for you or what for making a call? You just useless
@Cesar, go cash the cheque you got to write this response to something you find useless. You must have gotten paid to waste your time on my comment. Intelligence is frightening that’s why you sought to attack a post that brought some clarity.Have a good day. Don’t spend to money you got for your post in one place. Make sure you can eat for a week with it.
@Cesar, the fool is you. It is only hungry belly rats like you who would think that you have to be paid to do anything. You are bitter an angry because you believe I got paid and you wanted the money, is that it? Well, I don’t need to be paid to make a call to get information and share information that seems to be lacking here, thus causing undue confusion. What is it that I want to kill here? Please enlighten me? You seem to have a serious problem with being educated on anything. The typical African mentality I guess. Well, thanks for exposing your ignorance. I am thoroughly entertained by your stupidity. Sometimes we just need idiots like you to dance around and expose your ass so the rest of us can have a good laugh.
@Kr, thanks for the info bruh.
@esi, you are welcome
Expressing anger is different from sending threats and insults. You think I care about his anger and ill manners? I can deal with that! What I will not tolerate is threats and intimidation… I stated in my article, I have not contacted them and I intend to do so. I have other things to do and I intended to do so within a reasonable time. I reserve the right to contact them or not. They cannot compel me, neither can you force me to make that request. I reserve the discretion…Now, I will not even bother with contacting them, what can they do?
Did I state in my article that the pageant was a secret and why should I be liable for what readers say or think on here when I have expressly excluded liability for whatever opinion anyone expresses on here? If from watching the video, they think it looks like the pageant was secretly held or because they did not hear about it, they have come to that conclusion, then that is their opinion, I respect their opinion and you should also do so…I never said my assumptions have any base, did I? pretty much I noted in my article that they were opinions I am expressing from the face of what I have seen and deducted…
Whatever opinion I may have or any reader will have, no matter how diabolical it may seem, we all have the RIGHT to hold that. Now, Miss Universe International is on their case, they should go explain to them not me!
@Posted By: Chris-Vincent Agyapong Febiri,
Don’t you take responsibilities for your in-actions? This is the kind of noise going on all over the airwaves in Ghana right now – Baseless allegations.
As your heading suggests, you intentionally decided to deceive the public by linking a caller to an organisation without even finding out he actually does work for them. As a practicing lawyer, I assume you should know better.
East London? No wonder they are 115th in the league table. You opted for that on purpose – not up to anything good.
How can you now defend yourself if a lawsuit is brought up against you by the company? – “Oh the caller said so” – Nonsense. Think before you act.
@Kr,

Sorry if i said anything bad againts you Chris..
You don’t have to be sorry, probably you did not know, Now after reading the link, you might have gotten it. Have a nice day
@Posted By: Chris-Vincent Agyapong Febiri,
I think what he was tryna say is tha a lot of people do not know that ur blog is based on personal opinion and tend to take your updates as fact, and i think thats why u get into arguments with all these ppl (eg Leila, this man who harassed u on fone etc). Hence the reason he said u have to be careful. I get where u are coming from but opinions do affect the way others think about things. For instance I could care less about Yvonne Nelson before reading this blog i neither liked or hated her. but ever since u started calling her names i have started looking at her funny because my perception of her has changed even though i know ur articles are mostly based on opinion.
@john, you are welcome
@john,Nobody can measure your intelligence…the scale can’t go that low
@Kr, What you wrote is all stupid, do you know what a blog is? Blog simple means a web-log, a place the owner expresses his opinion or remarks on things that has caught his or her attention.
You cannot burden any blogger to go beyond their opinion and make any investigations. They choose to that when they feel like or want to. I think you do not understand the concept of a blog.
If it bothers you much, find another blog and visit and leave GC team to do what they think is fit for their blog. It looks like people talk out of their asses on here.
@TiffanyBabe, I have no interest in your opinion of my comment so pls move on. You and Chris are both idiots
@ miyagi pls dont waste ur precious time on him

Chris is an idiot. So you write defamatory articles about people, get ur harem all worked up and insulting hard working people and then u claim you are not responsible for their comments? You don’t know the law then. A disclaimer does nit exonerate you from any lawsuit if its your wordsbthat cause the mayhem ok. You are not responsible for investigating, you only write your opinion. What if your opinion is wrong because you have the wrong facts? It’s called libel. U are making some powerful enemies, they will get you soon.
Who told you that you can ever have a defamation ( libel or slander) based on OPINION? Go do a bit of reading and come back to tell me who is an idiot…Use google, it can help you!
@Joyce, distinguish dis for me…..”i think u’re a fool” and “u’re a fool”……are dey the same, do they have the same meaning………

@claude hahahhahahahah
i usually don’t comment in forums like this but this is BULLSHIT! Damn Cheats!
It is such a fake pageant, they picked the last 3 winners in advance in 2008-2010-2011 from USA, flew them to Ghana and they won, can you tell me that Yayra Nego spent US$4000+ flying to from Minnesota to Ghana and preparing her self for the “CON- Test” Wins it and comes out and says wining it was “totally unexpected”
BTW we did not see even one family member or hers there, so where are they, also in USA or Persia where T heck is Persia they mean IRAN???????
They should not even bother coming to Ghana to hold a fake “close door” contest just hold in it USA every year and be done with it. if Ghanian girls at home are not Polished enough to represent Ghana.
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Who-The-Heck-Is-In-Charge-Of-Miss-Universe-Ghana/143490575725890?ref=ts&sk=wall
It is common knowledge that Miss World Ghana gets a car as part of her prize, but Miss Universe Ghana has never given a car to any of her winners why?, because it is obvious the “Winner” does not live in Ghana, so she cannot possible drive the car, she is always flown in specially from the US just to masquerade as a regular candidate, and flies back after she wins the CON-TEST.
In fact Miss Universe Ghana does not seem to get any prizes like House hold furniture, Electronics, cash prize etc and it is plain to see why.
What a jerk….i think Ghana is a democratic nation and we have rights to criticize
whether its good or bad…the man who called is behaving like an illiterate i think as a communications director of whatever group, he should be educated and as part of being educated he must know the rules of Ghana at least the fundamental ones…we have our right to say whatever we want in Ghana….so he should stop behaving like that. At the long run he is disgracing Ghana as a whole….and as for Miss Universe Ghana 2011 she isn’t standing for Ghana because of the love she has for the country ,she’s just doing this for her personal interest …by all means she wants to win an international contest no matter the country…i think she’s desperate.
U guys, are u here to contribute to the development of the arts or destroy it, n mister who eva u are, who cares abt ur opinion. Reali u guys sucks eh.
I suggest you send all material to : [email protected], [email protected], how dare he insult and threaten you.
Why is everybody agitating for public inclusion in the Miss Universe Ghana pageant? Remember back in the 1990’s when you couldn’t get to see what went on behind the scenes at Miss Universe Ghana and Miss Ghana? How come nobody complained then? Do you know the mode of selection for Ghanaian delegates at M-Net Face of Africa is also a closed door thing? Why is nobody screaming themselves hoarse for that one?
So the Insignia Group has its own funds and wants to hold a closed-door contest – wetin be your own? Is Miss Universe Ghana funded by the government?
What good has ever come out of including the public vote in beauty pageants anyway? Look at the dumb broads we pour out as Miss Malaika Ghana!
Public inclusion is not a right o, it’s a matter of choice by the organizers.
When the government organizes a closed-door contest with your funds then you can cry foul!
