This morning, a GhanaCelebrities.Com fan tweeted me and said I should listen to Happy Fm Entertainment show because something ridiculous was happening…
I tuned in a bit late since I was locked up on writing some other posts. At that time, they were discussing the ‘Forbes 40 Most Influential Celebrities In Africa’ story.
All of a sudden, multiple fuming voices of which the strongest of them was that of Afia Schwarzenegger were heard.
Things got heated up between Afia Schwarzenegger who was drunk and was holding a bottle of Guinness (disclosed by a panel member openly on air) and a certain reporter…
The host of the show was heard on air calling in security to probably come and tow the drunkard Afia Schwarzenegger away.
Gosh, how did this happen? Why was Afia Schwarzenegger drunk on some damn Guinness as early as 10 in the morning?
Why did the management of Happy Fm allow her into the studios while drunk? Some of the comments she made were not radio friendly at all…
If this was in UK, I swear Happy Fm would have gone off air by now or be slapped with serious fines. People got to act responsibly especially when they are on air…
I love the Afia Schwarzenegger’s character but that should only be on TV! PERIOD.
On the Forbes story, this is what happened, the writer (Forbes contributor- Mfonobong Nsehe, a Nigerian blogger) first wrote a piece on Forbes and invited readers to submit (nominate) the names of the various celebrities they think are famous in Africa.
He mentioned that, after receiving the names, he will line them up for readers to vote on them… This is what he wrote…
In your opinion, who are the most popular and influential people in Africa’s entertainment landscape? Who are the celebrities whose talents, actions and ideas excite, inspire, and uplift you the most?
Vote for your favorite stars by sending me your nominations. The nominations will be sifted, and the celebrities with the highest votes will be the focus of a rigorous research process, from where we’ll come up with an authoritative list.
So if any Ghanaian celebrities’ name was not submitted by a fan which I think that is what happened, none would have be even considered. I am not sure how many Ghanaians read Forbes and therefore came across his article of invitation.
Even though I read this on a Nigerian blog I could not be bothered to submit a name and probably you did not too… So this explains why the ‘Forbes 40 Most Influential Celebrities In Africa’ had no Ghanaian celebrity in there.
I hope we can all put this to rest now!
I do not get this Afia girl at all. Why is she disgracing herself this way? A woman drinking Guinness early morning? I feel ashamed for her.
Now I understand why No Ghanaian was mentioned in the Forbes list. Ghanaians have to vote and nominate our own when things like this come up
@Stacy,WHy do u say, a woman drinking guinness in the morning like its okay for a man to drink guinness in the morning…Be objective and say it is wrong ans stop being exist,especially since u are a woman…smh!
@ihatestupidpeople,typo…i mean stop being SEXIST!
@ihatestupidpeople, I am a woman and I am simply talking for women or from the point of a man, nothing to do with sexists. come on, I find certain things very appalling if they are done by women.
Oh Afia please . Why now? ghanaians will have to grow up. Going t a radio station drunk to talk pure nonsense ?
I LOVE Afia Schwarzenegger. The programme is sooooooooo funny!
@fili,You see? Exactly. I’ve seen videos online and its fun to watch. People like the show due to how the character is. So she had some booze.. its ok as far as she don’t overdo it. If she can walk normally and talk coherently then why not.
can you get the radio program on youtube?
I was actually in the studio with her and she was having two bottles of Star beer not Guinness. I am convinced she was drunk because she was misbehaving to the highest order and almost vandalized the studio.
Hmmmm, about why no Ghanaian made the Forbes list, I understand most Ghanaians don’t make time for such things even if they’re asked to… When I got to know about voting for the Channel O VMA’s via twitter, I was on the website every hour voting for our ‘2’ nominees – DBLACK and SAMINI – . Even that, it was the last day of voting. I just hope my 6-7 votes to each of them would make a difference…… They really need our support if they have to get recognized outside the shores of Ghana………. As for Afia, I think the character she’s playing in the series has gotten into her head. You are not on set Schwarzenegger !!!……..Lmao.
Afia nono. She needs to take it easy. It’s the weekend so I guess all she wanted to do was to drink……….. too bad.
Na Adzeennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn Afia? Come on, early morning alcohol to go and misbehave at Fm station paa? Asem ooo!
Y’all Я judgin her soo harshly…no one knows what she said exactly n d writer cudnt even put it here soo y’all shud shush it up! THANK U
