People in the showbiz industry are considered as not too serious. When professionals in the entertainment industry try to veer off to politics, they are mocked because politics is believe to be for ‘serious’ people.
It is good to know that at least some Ghanaian voters are wise and of age when it comes to voting for people to represent them in Ghana’s parliament.
Now known as Benita Okity-Duah, she also defeated Nii Sowah Boye Sekan, the junior brother of the late Nii Adjei Boye-Sekan, the first MP in the Fourth Republic in the Ledzokuku Constituency.
The Ledzokuku Constituency has been one of the swing constituencies in the Greater Accra Region. The NDC won and maintain the seat with the Late Nii Adjei Boye-Sekan in 1992 and 1996.

What triggered such a decision?
Many musicians don’t share the idea of revealing who they are dating to the general public. Though the public is aware who some of them are dating, many believe due to the womanizing attitude of some male musicians, it would be unreasonable for any of them to publicly name who he’s dating.

If you know Jeremie, then you will surely have issues with the way she throws out that fake accent. On radio, it even gets worse.
There is a rumour that when America rapper Fabolous came to Ghana and she was interviewing him on YFM, it got dramatic and embarrassing when Fabolous could not hear anything she was saying as a result of her fake accent. By the end of the interview, Fabolous had said…Pardon me…Pardon me…like 50 times… I used the word rumour because I did not listen to that interview but knowing how Jeremie fakes it, I think I believe it.

MTN brand icon and African Dance hall artiste Samini has begged the Ghana Trade Fair Company Limited to renovate and bring back the Children’s Park inside the Ghana International Trade Fair Centre.
Years ago, the Children’s Park at the Trade Fair served as a playing ground for children during events. Most parents preferred to leave their children at the venue as they get busy buying and selling. The Park had several children’s playing toys and objects such as merry-go-round, bouncing castles and the rest.
But several years down the line, all those have come to a halt. Most of these playing objects have been left to wreck.
Samini who penned down a recording and management deal worth Nine Hundred and Fifty Thousand Ghana Cedis with Phamous Music last December recollecting memories of growing up said “A lot of things shaped my life as a young boy growing up and one of the most memorable was programs organised by the Trade Fair Company such as Grand Sales and International Trade Fairs”.
He said as a young man, those shows were stuck in his mind as he reminisced those years when himself and couple of his friends always were at the Trade Fair to either listen to music or play at the Children’s Park.
