There are always unending arguments between Ghana and Nigeria raised by readers no matter the subject at hand. Be it entertainment, sports or political. Readers never fail to defend these two countries respectively, with one claiming supremacy over the other.

If you doubt it, read the comments written under articles like this, this one and that one. Or maybe a story like this. This very article was written by a Nigerian newspaper, Guardian.

WE like to believe that Nigeria is the giant of Africa, the continental Leviathan who has the power, influence and oil money to command the respect of other African countries. I am not too sure there is still any basis for such claims. What we think about Nigeria is not exactly the same as how other countries think about us. What we hold in our imagination is quite different from the real situation in Nigeria.

Celebrities over the world are well respected, because they bring happiness to the faces of the crestfallen. A lot of celebrities have always set up charity foundation to support the less privileged and needy in the society.

It has always been refreshing news when one read in the newspapers or watches on TV about philanthropists or stars donating to the less privilege or needy in our society, one can only get satisfied with such reportage.Recently, Parade Magazine published a list of Most Generous Celebrities, ranked by the amount of funds donated to charity.

What some of our dear celebrities put in the media for their fans is sometimes very absurd. I marvel if they think we are acute mentally constipated and cannot digest any given information scrupulously or what. Before I proceed, I will like to clearly say to these celebrities; we are not dim-witted at all so stop lying to us.

I am not a fun of Kwaw Kese’s constant attacks on his fellow hip life artistes and bickering in the music industry, but I believe without it, there won’t be any news for the entertainment journalists to write (based on hunch).

Rapper and self acclaimed king of the streets Kwaw Kese is at it again, this time around, he has slapped Obour and co for thinking hip life is dead and consequently resurrecting it.

A recently published article on this site titled “Nigeria to Send Ghana to the Cleaners” has sparked such frenzy; I find the whole hullabaloo pathetic to say the least. However, the scary aspect of this whole uproar is that, it has weeded out the deeply rooted hatred between these two countries. The callous exchange of words between readers is not only condescending, it sometimes borders ignorance.

On that morning, 19 Al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked four commercial passenger jet airliners. The hijackers intentionally crashed two of the airliners into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, killing everyone on board and many others working in the buildings.

If the signal we are picking now is the right, then Ghanaian producers must sit up, watch out and get their arsenals ready for a showdown as their Nigerian counterparts are in a secret meeting to get them (Ghanaian producers) out of the movie market.

The primary aim of this secret meeting is to hatch a plan to flood the market with only Nigeria movies hence getting the Ghanaian producers out of job. Venus Films Production producer Abdul Salam Mumuni, whose first film was God Loves Prostitutes, which brought Nollywood superstar Genevieve Nnaji to Ghana and is responsible for the discovery of Van Vicker, Jackie Aygemang, Nadia Buari, Eddie Nartey and still discovering more talents is their prime target.

Ever since Araba Martha Vroom (1967), Akuba Cudjoe (1999), Lamisi Mbillah (2006), Irene and Akosua Boatemaa Dwomo (2007) reached the semi-final stages of the Miss World and Miss Universe pageants respectively, no Ghanaian contestant has ever made it beyond these stages. A negligible feat, nonetheless worthy of mentioning was when Ms. Angela Asare was voted Miss Congeniality at the 2006 Miss Universe pageant. Other than that, no Ghanaian representative has had any substantial success at these international pageants.

It is very startling when Ghanaian celebrities go on a designer rant rampage. Often, during shindigs or red carpet events, most are kin to drop power house designer names which usually leaves one scratching his/her head. Not only is it implausible, it is beyond farfetched. Why? Well, a number of plausible reasons spring to mind.

“First In News”, “Best In Entertainment” is their slogan but I will dwell on the latter, in their quest to give factual meaning to their slogan “Best In Entertainment”, TV3 Network has always come up with entertainment programmes such as Music Music, Hitz Video, Spot Light, Bands Alive, Dance Fever, TV3 Carnival, The Battle and the just ended Ghana’s Most Beautiful on its network.

An article published on this site a couple of weeks ago caught my attention. I was not intrigued by its content, but by the responses it provoked. I was indifferent as I was not at the receiving end of these criticisms. However, I was compelled to write this article based on the rationale behind the critiques of the article. I am personally not adverse to criticism (my articles have drawn their fair share, as a matter of fact, I feed on them), It is something that I encourage and appreciate deeply. But, it gets scary when the critiques seem to be coming from a tainted perception.
