Weekly Discussion: The Various Secondary Schools (High Schools) the Celebrities Attended | Let’s Get Talking…

09/25/2014 7:15 pm

Despite the fact that University Education is the highest on the educational ladder, the Secondary School a person attended in Ghana sort of becomes his or her pride; defining the person in so many ways. Sorry to the various celebrities who did not have a secondary school education—you are irrelevant to us today. Let’s name … Read more

Morning Starr With Kafui Dey: The Ideal ‘Starrt’ to Your Hectic Urban Day

09/25/2014 6:55 pm

by GC Staff Tisha

The third of Starr’s triple threat programming leading their brand introduction is The Morning Starr. Hosted and by presented and MC extraordinaire Kafui Dey, the Morning Starr is to give you the best start you could ever hope for to your day.

Running from 5am through 9am, Kafui Dey takes the hot seat on a tightly knit, perfectly woven morning show blessed with a smidgen of everything a morning show needs. News, intervening programming (business, sports etc), music, lifestyle, and the relevant political and socio-economic segments skewered towards improving the quality of life of the people of Ghana; whilst steering clear of the endless political squabbling you see on countless other morning shows.

And it’s all hosted impeccably by Ghana’s premiere Master of Ceremonies, bringing to Radio hosting the same excellence he has graced every other challenge in his life.

All of which adds up to the ultimate morning show, bringing a fresher dynamic to the radio morning show scene and threatening older more established staples within the time slot.

So what gives The Morning Starr a leg up over its older, more established competitors? It’s not any one thing, but a myriad of little things combining to give it that ‘just right’ feel.

But if you insist on being a quantitative junkie; there’s the presence of one of Ghana’s more recognisable hosts, there’s the general feel of the program which runs less political than you’re accustomed to; then there’s that first hour of the show which I call ‘soothing your guilt’ segment.

JOURNALISTS Who Went to Cover Asamoah Gyan’s Press Conference Ended Up FIGHTING Over GHC 20 as Transport Fees-SOLI

Black Star captain Asamoah Gyan, for the first time, has come public to speak on the seemingly never ending saga of Castro’s death – through his lawyer, Kissi Agyabeng, who addressed a press conference on Wednesday 24th September 2014 at the Alisa Hotel.

In principle, I refused not to go and cover such an inane gathering because the Gyan’s failed to assure me of my safety. Secondly, their attack on one of my compeers who asked them a question is one that I still feel justice has not been seen served to whom it is due – the journalist by name Daniel Kenu of Graphic Communication.

Thirdly, I refused to cover because it’s Asamoah Gyan I feel the masses want to hear from and not a lawyer. Finally, I refused to cover to serve as a boycott-precedence so that others will not attack journalists or any human being for asking a question – unfortunately, some people who hold pen, paper and write were present to cover.

The latest news reaching GhanaCelebrities.Com is that the journalists who went to cover the event had high hopes that after the meeting, they will receive ‘FAT’ money as transport fees usually called ‘SOLI’ in the media trade from the Gyans because the latter are rich.

To their utter dismay, the event ended only for one of the people who organized the meeting to start pulling and sharing GHC 20 to the press. Shock was written on the silly faces of the press.

Ghanaian actress Jackie Appiah just landed in Milan, Italy few hours ago—and she shared the above photo with her fans accompanied by the message; Hello Milan…

Career-wise, the year has been pretty slow for Jackie Appiah and this has somewhat given her the opportunity to be touring around. We’ve seen photos of her holidaying at different parts of the world.

For those of you who like to insult Joselyn Dumas with her BIG FOREHEAD, the actress/TV personality seems to be aware that her forehead is out of proportion—and today, she shared a photo with her forehead in focus alongside the message;#bigforeheadsdontcare

The Very Definition of Causing Financial Loss to the State: National Identification Authority Announces New National ID Registration Exercise

09/25/2014 2:48 pm

by GC Staff Tisha

Prepare to be baffled by the genius of those in charge of running this country. After six years and over Ghc 21, 000,000 of working on issuing a national identification card, the whole endeavor has been scrapped to venture on another one.

The National Identification Authority has announced that the old registration exercise for issuing national ID’s has been scrapped, and that the authority is embarking on a fresh registration exercise aimed at issuing all Ghanaians with the national id cards dubbed Ghanacards.

The new exercise is to be held under a public/private partnership (PPP), towards which end a $115 million agreement has been reached with Exxim China to fund the new project, subject to approval from Cabinet and Parliament.

So after wasting the time of countless Ghanaians, most of whom had to queue for hours to get their data registered into the system, and spending approximately Ghc 21, 621, 075 on the six year registration and partial distribution of cards exercise; we are now being told we have to return our cards and then become embroiled in another lengthy exercise.

Anyone who has had to partake in any of these public registration exercises in Accra can tell you how unpleasant an experience it can be, indeed this gives me not very fond memories of my recent experience of trying to register to join the National Service Scheme. And it’s probably not any better in other parts of the country.

A copy of a writ available to GhanaCelebrities.Com indicates that a group of actresses who are now championing an association called ‘Actresses Association of Ghana’ (ACTAG) led by Mercy Asiedu as the President, has served him a letter to Kumawood actor by name Akwesi Asamoah aka Big Akwess for alleging that some Kumasi film producers and directors, sleep with upcoming actors before giving them roles in movies.

Speaking to Mercy Asiedu, she confirmed that their counsel has indeed written a letter to be sent to Big Akwess to retract his comments within 3 days because in their opinion, his comment is unfounded and a slur on womanhood.

Asamoah Gyan’s Family Addresses Castro Disappearance FINALLY | Says ‘We Have No Legal or Moral Culpability Whatsoever’

09/24/2014 4:13 pm

by GC Staff Tisha

The disappearance of Castro and Janet Bandu has taken Ghanaians on a roller coaster ride the past few months, with the most recent development being the alleged assault of a graphic journalist that was withdrawn from court.

The incident leading to that assault was a question asked by Daniel Kenu, who sought to find out Asamoah Gyan’s reaction to rumours he had a hand in Castro’s supposed demise. The question was adjudged moronic at the moment, but certainly the Gyan family now feels it is in the public domain enough that they have to address it.

Which begs the question why didn’t Asamoah Gyan just do that on that day? Or why was it necessary to later attack a media man when today’s press conference has shown his was a valid question? We all know the kind of mentality we have as Ghanaians, people would wonder about the hand of the supernatural in every incident!

Anyway the Gyan family has denied any culpability in Castro’s disappearance, giving an account of events that fateful day in July. The punchline of the press conference though, is that “we take the opportunity and state without the slightest doubt in our minds that we are not blameable for the disappearance of Castro and Janet Bandu. We had no hand in that occurrence. We have no moral or legal culpability whatsoever.”

The family also addressed what they deemed was bias on the part of the media, who has created the controversy because controversy sells. They expressed regret at the incident but re-affirmed Castro is a good friend to the family and they would never do anything to harm him.

Below is the quite lengthy rundown of events in Ada as narrated by the Gyan family…

It Rains, Accra Floods: Time for Another Round of Political Theatre

09/24/2014 3:46 pm

by GC Staff Tisha

Ghana’s political arena is like one of those ‘choose your own adventure’ novels you read as a kid. You choose from multiple scenarios as the story progresses, and with every wrong choice you go back and choose another option; and you rinse and repeat until you finally get a denouement that’s not as terrible as the ones you’ve already gone through.

Except in Ghana, you never get that perfect ending no matter how many times you go through the same steps.

It’s been raining in Accra all day, which has led to the occasional flooding issue that plagues Accra rearing its ugly head again. It’s been in the news all day, people whose settlements have flooded and have lost property and several other valuables.

Luckily this time, it has not claimed a life yet; but what it has done is put the media focus back on the issue, which in turn puts more pressure on the politicians who then have to make a kind of grandstand to prove how on top of issues they are.

The problem is, and this is why I started with the analogy I used; this happens every single year. The floods come, it claims lives and properties, draws media attention, politicians make some kind of gesture to show how they’re taking the issue seriously; and then it all goes away when the rain stops. Then all you have to do is what for the next round of heavy rains to hit the city and start the cycle up all over again.

VIDEO: Some African Women Have EMPTY Heads Just Like This One…

I was sent the below video on Facebook and I couldn’t believe what the girl in the video who seems bleached was talking about—making it all seem that, a man must provide it ALL for a woman because he is with her.

According to her, if you want a woman to look good, you must be ready to spend your money. REALLY? Is this the new score out there?

She sits as if she is talking for most African woman, saying, if a man wants to walk to her, the man must be ready to spend some cash—making it seem, cash is all it takes to get an African woman into your bed. Pretty cheap and easy.

You know what, watch the video below and let’s know if you agree with her or not…

Deloris Frimpong Manso’s WHITE MEN Obsession | We Thought She Was Virgin…

by GC Staff Tisha

Deloris Frimpong Manso popularly known as Delay made headlines some few years ago with her ridiculous claim that, she was a VIRGIN—and for that matter, the oldest woman virgin we had in Ghana, some people said…

Interestingly, our virgin Delay is reported to have said; she sort of only dates whitemen—even though it is rumoured that musician-Samini has walked through her project, many times.

It seems Delay is really into her white men—remember in Ghana, Indians are even classified as white men. And today, we bring you the man Delay could be wildly chopping down, yet she remains a virgin…

Check below for how her journey has been…

The donation forms part of series of charity activities for the year.

Items including noodles, cereals and beverages among others were donated to the facility.

The exercise was also in fulfillment of Nadia Ntanu, the reigning Miss Ghana Brand Ambassador’s resolve to continue from where her predecessor’s left off by strengthening the Foundation’s goals of ensuring such laudable projects are sustainable.

TOTAL SHAME: Kumasi Based Music Producer Who Demanded Seks Before Producing Female Gospel Musician Finally Exposed – He Has Also Promised to Expose the Gospel Musician-Anita Afriyie

09/23/2014 6:15 pm

by GC Staff Tisha

Promising Ghanaian female gospel musician-Anita Afriyie, disclosed to Razz Newspaper last week that, some male gospel music producers sleep or demand seks with/from female gospel musicians before producing them.

In her words, Anita alleged: “It’s something that has been going on for years but people get scared voicing it out fearing they will get enemies from society and the industry, but since it’s a question you are asking me, I have no other option than to tell you the truth.”

She confirmed she knows some musicians who have given in for some producers to sleep with them and have gotten what they want. “I can mention their names but it’s not too necessary. One of the main reasons why I’m telling you the truth is that, it is not a good thing – they must put a stop to,” she intimated.

However, when she was interviewed on Channel R’s ‘205 Total Entertainment’ last Friday (19^th Sept, 2014), astute host of the programme, Christian Agyei Frimpong, proved to all and sundry why he is amongst the best radio interviewers in the capital.

After many attempts by Christian for Anita to mention the name of the producer who once demanded seks from her, Christian asked her, which of your albums did you face this sexual-advance challenge from?

Anita who had earlier stated that the man who produced her third album was Kumasi based producer by name Asteve, answered; “It was my third album. The album could not come out because the producer demanded for seks which I declined because it’s against my Christian teachings.”

Speaking on Neat FM’s ‘Entertainment Ghana’ today, 23^rd Sep, 2014, Anita who had revealed that it’s Asteve who demanded seks from her, took a U-turn to say she never said so. When Christian Agyei Frimpong was called, he confirmed Anita alleged so on his platform. When Kwasi Aboagye ‘drilled’ her properly, Anita finally admitted to the shock of all listeners that “it’s Asteve.”

For Asteve’s (real name Steven Asiedu) side of the story, GhanaCelebrities.Com contacted him and to our utter dismay, he said all that Anita revealed to the public is false! According to Asteve, “I usually don’t go looking for artists to produce – they usually come to me. I met Anita through recommendation from George Forest, Demako, and one producer by name Agya Koo.

“Between the times I started recording Anita and promotion, Anita, who claims she is an angelic being, had started flirting with my younger blood brother – an act I frowned upon and asked them to put an end to!

“I only introduced my younger brother to her as someone who will mange her. As soon as she saw my brother, she accepted to let him manage her. There were times Anita who is suppose to be a gospel musician would tell me and his family that she’s going to pray and fast on the mountains.

“I will go to my brother’s room and go and meet Anita, wearing nightie on the bed! I met her in such act many times! She flirt with my blood brother so I thought her actions were not auspicious for me to invest in her as a gospel artist. I stopped investing in her album!

CHRIS-VINCENT: The ‘Side Chick’ Death Trap | Is It Worth the Fun?

09/23/2014 6:00 pm

by GC Staff Tisha

Most men are greedy and jealous but they will go every length to show that, they are not jealous when it comes to women. Interestingly, most women accept on first prompt that they are jealous and greedy—and as such, they are not ready to share their men with anyone.

I am talking about a class of human beings who even gets upset if they see another of their kind, wearing something they are already wearing—despite the fact that the person also bought it with her own money. From this common illustration, you should know how intolerable women are when it comes to sharing, writes CHRIS-VINCENT on BrutallyUncensored.Com.

Fortunately for men and unfortunately for some women, there are those single women who present themselves as less jealous or greedy—and are ready to become the side chicks, perhaps, the right name should be the side biatches.

For men who are lucky to meet such single women, it mostly feels like you’ve won the lottery and just as the whole enterprise/offer seems too good to be true—mostly, they are indeed too good to be true.

Most of the side chicks have hidden agenda, well concealed between the space they seem to fill in your relationships—and for some reason, they can be exceptionally fun, stealing your attention from the main chick-be it the wife or girlfriend.

Yesterday, I was sent a video of a Nigerian woman which you can see below (I believe this was recorded for fun) who called her boyfriend only to have the main girlfriend of the man picking the phone at the other end.

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJQ5jK6rhZA

The conversation was pretty interesting as she didn’t seem bothered about her position as the side biatch, adding that, if the main biatch is not happy about the current state of things and she wants to leave, she can. But she should notify her when she is leaving so she will know that her position has changed from being the side biatch to main biatch.

In fact, there are women like this out there—I mean plenty of them who come up as not caring about whoever is in the room, provided they get a little space at the corner—and provided their immediate needs are taken care of.

For most men, what else could be exciting than this? Having a second single woman who you can call your woman—and more importantly, who knows about the other woman but has no problem or will not act in anyway to alert the other, so they mostly say.

The Unfulfilled Legacy of Ghana’s First President

09/23/2014 9:23 am

by GC Staff Tisha

The founder’s day holiday is a relatively new one, officialised by the late President John Atta Mills as a public holiday. But the celebration of the day of Osagyefo’s birth had been going on long before we added the public holiday tag to 21 September of every year.

It’s almost a cliché now to use the phrase ‘if Kwame Nkrumah could see what was going on in Ghana now, he would be churning in his grave’. But being cliché does not make anything less true, and the same can certainly be applied to the above phrase.

There are several reasons people often go gaga over Kwame Nkrumah as a leader of Ghana; he won the country independence, initiated and completed several socio-economic and infrastructural policies that hugely benefit Ghana to this day, and he was a huge believer in the capabilities of the African in managing our own affairs.

Those are all well documented and would be futile rehashing here; after all he also had his faults. He initiated policies and laws inimical to the democratic ideals upon which he swung to power, the Preventive Detention Act, establishing the one party state that led to his edging closer to that tyrannical status.

So Nkrumah’s supporters and detractors hold this argument every Independence Day and Founder’s day, and in fact it is already been raging through the country this past couple of days; but that is far from my purpose here.

Because friend or foe: what cannot be denied about Kwame Nkrumah was his unrivalled excellence at being a leader, a political actor, and a power for economic development. More than anything that is what Ghana needs at this moment in our history, not a leader to win us independence, but a leader who can galvanise the people of this nation into one, a leader who revels in taking the hard decisions that real governance is rife with.

That is the real tragedy of founder’s day, that we now live in a country once ruled by a man of Osagyefo’s ilk, that is now a bedrock for corruption, incompetence, and a weird mixture of the two and several other ills that now have made this country unbearable to live in.
