The divorce (or annulment) saga of Black Stars captain Asamoah Gyan and his wife Gifty continues to rage on with fire and fury each passing day.
The case remains in court and both parties are fighting for their interests to be seen to in the battle that is sure to rage on for months to come.
As is customary of a news cycle, the biggest news of a time becomes nothing to marvel about at another time. A big story emerges and takes up all the airtime but within a short space of time it moves on is replaced by another similarly huge story.
A week ago Asamoah Gyan was the biggest story around, until Medikal and Fella Makafui and her ‘Tundra’ took over the media space.
Black Stars captain Asamoah ‘Baby Jet’ Gyan has finally responded to the media tsunami surrounding his family and his ongoing divorce saga.
Gyan was reported earlier this week to be divorcing his wife and also seeking a DNA test on his kids to determine their paternity.
The East Legon Police have reportedly declared brother of the Black Stars striker Asamoah Gyan, Baffour Gyan, a wanted man!
Baffour is wanted in relation to a complaint filed against him by Gifty Gyan, the Stars’ captain’s wife who is currently embroiled in a divorce saga with her husband of five years.
Hi Chris,
A LETTER TO ASAMOAH GYAN,
Dear Asamoah Gyan,
First of all, let me start by saying how blessed Ghanaians are to have you as one of our biggest role models. You have done well by creating a lot of businesses and of course providing jobs for a lot of Ghanaians. Even though I still would love to know where Castro is, that’s not my main reason for writing you this humble letter. I just hope it reaches you and if not I bet the bloggers will make sure it does.
The saga continues. Everyday brings with it more revelations about the apparently troubled marriage of Black Stars captain and Ghana’s all time leading goal scorer, Asamoah ‘Baby Jet’ Gyan.
Asamoah Gyan and Gifty have been together for 15 good years. They have been married for only five of those years and already things have fallen apart.
The devil you know is better than the angel you do not know. Black Stars captain Asamoah Gyan is hellbent on violating this saying and he just has to wish that it’s not a volcano he’s going to end up in as everyone else seems to be predicting.
Every rich and influential man has their right hand man who carries out all their ‘dirty’ work for them. For Asamoah Gyan it is his older brother Baffour Gyan, whose football career was a monumental failure compared to his younger brother’s and therefore seems willing to do all it takes to remain useful to his brother and keep chopping some coins.
Hi Chris,
There are lot of stories going around about this Gyan brouhaha so let me give you a backdrop of what is actually happening here.
As most people know, Gifty has been with Asamoah Gyan for years, way before he became popular and she has been through a lot aside from the cheating scandals that were exposed in the media. Between Baffour, his wife Naana, and their sister in London, Gifty was never liked. Not sure what Naana’s reasons were but their sister started out being supportive until it got to a point where Gifty got tired of giving her money.
Ghanaian veteran actress, Grace Omaboe affectionately called Maame Dokono has disclosed that she groomed Ghanaian celebrities such as Shatta Wale, Black Stars Captain Asamoah Gyan and his brother Baffour Gyan.
According to Maame Dokono, she nurtured all the above-mentioned stars through her show, ‘By The Fire Side’.
Asamoah Gyan was back in the headline making business during the week when his attempted move to English Championship side Reading surprisingly fell through at the last minute.
Like anything involving Gyan, even that had to turn into a huge drama. Reports immediately after the failure of the deal claimed the Black Stars skipper failed his medical, something he later vehemently denied – claiming Reading did not want him representing his national team anymore.
It would not be far-fetched to say Ghana is a land of comedy—and most Ghanaians have no regard for Justice, their integrity and hardly hold any entrenched worldview. You can almost easily buy everything in Ghana, including buying the conscience of people.
In fact, for financial gains or pocket stability, most Ghanaians have already sold their conscience and do not think beyond the box. Neither do such people live for anything except money—the sad truth is; they would not even accept it.
People care less about having a worldview or opinion or strengthening Justice, and more about money—and you cannot disregard the fact that, a hungry man will always put his stomach first. But at least, the hungry man must recognise that, man does not live by bread alone.
It came as a shock to many of us when Daniel Kenu, Ashanti Regional Editor of the Daily Graphic newspaper was brutally assaulted by Baffour Gyan, the senior brother of Asamoah Gyan for simply asking a question on the minds of many Ghanaians—that, if as speculated, Asamoah Gyan really sacrificed his friend-Castro for riches.
Apart from being a free speech advocate, this question sits well with rationalism—and a simple Yes or No answer would not have killed Asamoah Gyan or anyone. But as usual, egos must have kicked in as known of Ghanaians in authority—be it financial or public elevation, people beneath them have no right to ask questions or challenge their actions.
So after failing to answer this simple question and many at the venue including important Ghana Football Association officials condemned the journalist for asking, Asamoah Gyan’s brother organised some ‘macho’ men to beat the hell out of the journalist- Daniel Kenu.
It came as a relief to some of us when Daniel Kenu sued. Aside the obvious punishment that laid ahead for Baffour Gyan for the battery/assault and the compensation for Daniel Kenu, this was going to serve as a precedent—more of a deterrent to show that we are out of the Stone Age and we have moved past the Animal Kingdom days when the strongest hammered and killed the weak at will.
The Managing Director of the Graphic Communications Group, the parent company of Daily Graphic, Ken Ashigbey, has reiterated that they intend to prosecute the Baffour Gyan assault case to its bitter end.
Asamoah Gyan’s brother is currently embroiled in an assault case after a Graphic reporter was brutally beaten for asking the Black Stars captain a question regarding his links to the disappearance of hiplife musician Castro.
After two court dates, the case has been adjourned to 19 September after the reporter was unable to appear on the last adjourned date due to medical reasons. At the first sitting, Baffour Gyan and co-defendant Anim Addo’s legal teams revealed they would be seeking an out of court settlement.
But the Graphic MD has reiterated that the prosecution would move forward, whilst condemning the ‘big men’ in society calling on them to dismiss the criminal prosecution.
Speaking at a press event on Monday, he said that as journalists they deserved protection, and therefore nobody was going to get away with assaulting one of their own.
