Nigeria ended 2010 on a bad note with another bomb blast in the country. Bombing is peculiar to West African countries but it seems to be developing into a common thing in Nigeria.
Friday’s bomb blast in Nigeria killing a number of people is not the only bombing Nigeria suffered in the 2010. Hope we see a better, united and peaceful Nigeria in 2011. Read below for more….
So soon, a new year has catch up on us and most of us will be doing a lot of reflection and planning. In one of my post this year titled “Mistakes Are Important Part Of Life”, I stated the importance of mistakes as we journey through life, do not ignore or lament over your mistakes of 2010.
Rather embrace it with a smile and critically scrutinize the cause and follies that lead to the mistakes so as to step away from a similar occurrence in the New Year.
2010 is coming to an end today and I will be looking at what went down in the Ghanaian Entertainment Industry in this post. I wish I can talk about everything but no, it’s not possible, so I will just highlight some of them and leave the rest.
The year 2010 was one interesting year. It was a booming year for the entertainment industry in Ghana without any doubt; a lot of collaborations between the Ghanaian and the Nigerian counterpart in the movie field as actors from these countries invaded both industries.
The year ended with resurgence of ‘twi’ (locally produced movies) hitting it hard with Agya Koo and Mr. Beautiful in fore front with the English movies. In 2010, I stepped on lots of toes but what are toes if not meant to be stepped on.
“Know what you know, know what you don’t know, and know who knows what you don’t know”
It takes a certain type of person with a certain type of quality to take on board constructive feedback and constructivism, no matter how painful the advise may seem. The first time someone told me ‘you’re too sensitive in nature’ I’d look at them as if they were speaking a native language from an undiscovered African Village. Me? Sensitive? If you say so! The thing is when someone makes such a comment about our personality, you can either brush it off in denial or think, do they have a point? Either way when the fifth or tenth person says it then it’s not denial it’s turning into arrogance!
The fact that it’s the end of the year means there is no escaping the Internet as well as print media which is saturated with ideas on how to keep resolutions. Take your pick there are thousands ideas to choose from! The problem here is, no matter how relevant the information is in all these books, blogs and newspapers/magazines, or what psychological academic genius has written the information, it will fast become irrelevant if the main aspect is missing…

The year is wrapping up and a little birdie told me that some of our stars are considering posh treasures to ring in the New Year. For our leading ladies, the SUV has been the stamp of arrival into financial plenty.
We have yet to see the locomotives of our leading men; perhaps the clues here will shed light on their preferences. We dare to dream big but please be wise with your hard earned money. Should the readers have any hot tips about the latest cars driven by our movie stars feel free to drop a line to the editor for us to confirm.
This year we celebrated the wedded bliss of actress Juliet Ibrahim what better way for her pilot husband to welcome the bun in the oven than to certify the new born with a gift that not even the average 17 year old can boast of having, a car. The TATA Nano to be precise, but not just any one will do a gold encrusted version.
Just before Christmas, the popular Ghanaian musician “Nana Quame” celebrated 5years of marriage to his wife. Mr & Mrs Nana Quame (Atiaa Donko) have been together for 8yrs and married for 5. They have been blessed with a 4 year old son and another is on the way.The event which took place in East London was … Read more
Anybody who thinks High Life music is dead, got to be kidding and any one, who still shares the opinion that, Abrantie Amakye Dede cannot express himself well in the Queen’s language, should rethink.
Earlier on, in a week or two ago, Abrantie Amakye Dede was reported to have announced to Ghanaians, especially his fans that, he will perform beyond his known 20 minutes that he has always been allotted whenever he is invited to a show.
I can’t help but get ahead of time and take a sneak peak at the key trends for 2011 spring/summer seasons. Well ladies it is truly my duty to keep SassyChic! readers in the loop and up to date!
Spring/Summer 2011 trends are predicted to be an assortment of Biker Chic Clothing, Bell Bottoms, Punk Fashion, Bold Stripes, Tail Hems, Tassels, lace, Bow Shirts and kitten heels. If some of that sounds a bit puzzling you can get on trend here with pictures to keep you in the know!
Yesterday, the 27 day of December 2010 saw one of the best High Life artistes of Ghana mount the stage of the Accra International Conference Centre to perform to a “mature” crowd.
The concert which was dubbed ‘Abrantie Amakye Dede Live In Concert’ and was organized by rLG Telecommunication.
As we prepare to review the concert, check out some of the photos our cameras captured for your viewing pleasure.
Hip life artiste Nana Boroo of ‘Aha Yede’ fame was one of the musicians to perform at the weekend’s Ghana Movie Awards 2010 at the Conference Centre.
After performing his popular hit track featuring SK Blinks, he was met on stage by his ‘half naked’ dancer to do his new single ‘Bebia Soso’.
The body of his female dancer and the lyrics in the song goes hand in hand. So this tiny Nana Boroo likes ‘heavy enough substance ladies’?
GhanaCelebrities.Com captured the pictures below for your eyes only.
Over the weekend, Sulley Ali Muntari (Muslim) married his long term girlfriend “Menaye Donkor” (Christian) in Accra.
Despite how happy the couple appeared and not to talk of how long they have been together, various people are of the view that Sulley as a practising Muslim should have married within his religion.
Marriage I believe goes beyond religion; what matters most is your happiness and compatibility.
I’d like to think that for some of us ladies may have such dry or rough hands because of course we are hard working labour intensive women….well that’s what my excuse was when someone (it’s always the dudes and your rude aunties) would ask why my hands were not soft.
I would hold up both my hands with a sarcastic slightly smile and answer…these are the hands of a hard working woman! But no…this is not actually the case. I got my hands from my pops side of the family, even one of his young granddaughters has it so there you go. What’s a gurl to do with these genetically imperfect ‘gifts’. Of course it didn’t help that I used to spring clean the kitchen and bathroom with no gloves, you can imagine what those chemicals did to my hands, they were becoming dangerous weapons!
When the Ghana Movie Industry was in the gutters, Agya Koo with some few people saved the industry. Even though people complained about the poor pictures of their movies; they were able to hold the fort till this very day.
As you wait for the ‘sardine’; you must first continue to eat your ‘koobi’. Interestingly, that’s exactly what the likes of Agya Koo did and now the industry has boomed and still booming.
Many people from all quarters have hailed the judgment of the Ghana Movie Awards Jury for declaring Agya Koo as the Overall Best Actor in Ghana, hence taking home a new SUV Zotye as his prize in addition to the statuettes he was given on the awards day.
Their judgment was lauded as a good judgment yesterday at the plush Golden Tulip Hotel in Accra. In the Overall Best Actress, Kyeiwaa lost out to Jackie Appiah and co.
