Actress-Juliet Ibrahim stunningly took over the red carpet in Lagos at the 2014 Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards, held on Saturday at the Eko Hotel & Suites, Victoria Island.
For some years now, Juliet Ibrahim has become a red carpet fashion favourite—and even with the increasing risk she takes with her style, she always succeeds in throwing out a fabulous appearance while keeping it decent…
Wearing a floor length gown by Chidinma Obairi and makeup by Prettifies, it was a flawless exhibition of red carpet beauty by Juliet Ibrahim…
I will start by saying I love reading your blog especially the pieces you write yourself. Your articles come with wit and authority and these have made be a long fan of your blog.
So when Yvonne Okoro wins an award, she is a Ghanaian and when her sister wants to compete for Miss Ghana, the Okoros all of a sudden become Nigerians. Is that fair? You pushed things to the extent that the young girl was robbed of her Miss Ghana crown. To be frank, your article and the controversy it generated was the reason she was not given the crown she clearly won.
The Hypocrisy in the above is obvious and therefore I do not have to make this a long rant. I think you Ghanaians especially people like you must take both the good and bad and not select when someone is a Ghanaian and when someone is not as you have done with Okoro.

Hello Adeola,
To be frank, I was lost as to where I made the assertion that Yvonne Okoro or her sister is not a Ghanaian.
But since you mentioned Miss Ghana, I think I remember where you wrongly picked up your information from.
Let me also point out that, I respect Yvonne Okoro for her talent and passion—and her hustle…
However, it does not mean that the above should buy my conscience to the extent that I cannot state the obvious truth.
To say I caused her not to be crowned Miss Ghana is a little over the top. I do not work for Miss Ghana and do not have any real influence as to who they decide to crown. What I did at the time was to express a truthful opinion and probably lead an honest debate as to who rightly deserves to be Miss Ghana (though controversial).
Last night-8th March 2014 at the Eko Hotel & Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos, the 2014 Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards was held—-and once again Shirley Frimpong Manso and Ken Attoh made Ghana proud for their excellent work on Yvonne Okoro’s movie-Contract.
Contract won 4 Awards and Nairobi Half Life also took home 4 Awards…
