It is sad to read that, veteran Actor Kofi Adjorlolo is considering ending his Acting career as a result of a ban which he has stated over and over as unfair, bias and unnecessary. Yvonne Nelson’s ban still stands and that of Ekow Smith is also in action. Kofi Adjorlolo has expressed his concern as to the direction of his acting career because of the ban placed on him.
Hmmm! Read below for more….
__________________________________________________________________
Veteran actor, Kofi Adjorlolo who has been banned for 24 months by the Film Producers Association of Ghana (FIPAG) says he may not act again if nothing is done about that decision.
The renowned actor and two other movie personalities, Yvonne Nelson and Ekow Smith Asante, have been banned by the film producing body for what the body terms are offences they had committed.
Kofi, speaking on Day Break Hitz on Hitz FM with Lexis Bill Friday said he can’t sit at home for two years without doing anything and if he had had a job, he wouldn’t have depended on acting, his passion for several years.
Kofi Adjorlolo had to give up a job in radio, advertising and marketing just to get into movies which he has been doing for several years now.
The very emotional and angry Kofi said, “I can’t sit at home for two years without working and if I get a job to do then I wouldn’t have time for movies … I get time for movies because I said movies are what I want to do. Now I can’t sit at home for two years without doing anything so it means I must find something to do.”
“Now, if I take myself out of it and get something to do and my passion goes, that’s it, it means then forget it, movies, that’s what they want to do and that’s what they want,” he emphasised.
The Favorite Actor winner at the maiden Ghana Movie Awards disclosed that he has not received any official document or notification from either FIPAG or the Film Regulatory Council concerning the widely held ban.
“As at now no one has contacted me to tell me I have been sidelined but I hear it all over the place that I have been banned from movies for the next two years,” he said.
He said he only got the information through a friend’s text message and other mediums.

hmm it is so emotional..
it’s really emotional.
how is it emotional??????
i guez uve neva bn in a situation like his b4 Opanin..so no need 2 answer u..
are u sure? at least i was suspended in school for several times so i’ve been in dat situation before.i’m not even asking u to answer me, what i’m sayin is, how emotioanl is dis
i hope that will make socrate safo happy. they should keep on banning all the favourite actors & actresses and nobody will be around to watch their movies including all the x rated from him.
Damn my favourite actor reconsider big man the movie industry is nothing with out you The palm tree head socrate needs to be pimp smack really hard if he ends his carriere like this
why r ghanaians such nkrasifuo saaa. dis stupid ban makes no sense. wat r dey, 3 yrs old????
do u know dat in any organised setting, der are rules????? what do u think happens when dese rules are broken or trampled upon by members?????
if dis will instill some sanity into our movie industry, so be it. i pray it extends to our music industry as well.it really frustrating getting to a show dats supposed to supposed to start at 6pm and at 7pm artistes are still doin sound check mainly because dey came in late.
@ syn, you should ask again.
bologny, no one has contacted you Kofi Adjorlolo, then why are you commenting on the issue at hand…I think he is trying to spin this in his favor so we fans can feel for him but it won’t work with me….I will gladly follow the rules when I get a chance to follow my passion for being a producer of films in Ghana
gud point. i watched him on Rundown when he appeared on the show together with Ekow and i must say, i didn’t like his demeanor.he went on and on about how he’s a senior actor and how he’s been disrespected and blah blah blah. if he’s indeed a senior actor, he should be advising the young one’s like Yvonne and not supporting their insolence.
its true, i wish more industries in Ghana were this eager to root out the bad seeds. As for Kofi A., all i can say is leave if you want, there are 10 more of you willing to take roles meant for you
am lost here…………..did socrate cause kofi to be banned? what did kofi do? & wat is the connection b/n dat & socrate?
i want to know what happen too
they banned him bcos he refused to show up at a meeting they organised
well if that’s the case than i have to say that they are really childish than
wht did kofi do can someone tell me plzzzzzzzzz
This decision was the dumbest ever taken by the ghana movie industry.Kofi Adjorlolo has really contributed to the industry and paying him back this way doesn’t sound good at all.They should remember he is old and this is the only thing that keeps him busy.Banning him for 2years doesn’t make sense, its about time they do something about it.
i agree with you
he doesn’t need to act in ghana, he can act in nigeria, nigerians we accept him with open hands.
see that is the problem with Kofi A., he seems to think only Gollywood, he does not look at the big picture, there is a film industry in Chad, Kenya, South Africa, Ethiopia, even the small island of Cape Verde has one.
Rama Brew plied her trade in Nigerian stage and even Peru for sometime before coming back to Ghana….that is the problem Keke, maybe he will listen to you instead of blaming and getting nowhere, but i guess he’d rather go hungry than try his luck elsewhere
Shame on you Kofi A.
This is so funny.How can someone like Socrate Safo be part of FIPAG.Socrate is the head of useless, senseless, and porn movies. All of his movies are nothing but bunch of immature actors and actresses. Most of his movies have no sense of direction. He is so shallow minded and incompetent. How come intellectuals and competent personnel such as Shirley Frimpong Manso and Leila are not part of FIPAG. HMMM ASEM. Food for thought
@lala, say that again useless movies
i think they have not told us why they ban kofi.if it is b/c he did not come to meeting.it does not make a sense.the punishment did not qualify the offence.how did they want him to put food on his table.he should start looking for a job at this age?.let them give some respect to these men ,they deserve some.he can as well come to nigeria ,people love him inthat land.
Kofi not attending a meeting should not necessarily attract two years ban. This is share nonsense. How many good older ghanaians actors do we have. And how many can act like him. If u sack him, who will replace him? Instead of siding with him, some tend to condemn him and even does not want him back.
If not attending a meeting attracts two yrs, then not listening to ghanaians and going ahead to produce filthy movies as Socrates should also attract 20yrs ban by Ghanaians. NONSENSE!!!!!!
during the days of the David Dontoh’s, Fred Amugi’s,Emmanuel Armahs,Brew Riverson’s, we all held the same notion , who’ll replace dem if dey leave, but guess what, they are not here and we’re not even missin dem cos other great actors took their place.
Did u say they are not listening to Ghanaians? go and find out how many copiers Hot Fork sold.it’s never true dat Ghanaians do not like porn, because it’s dese same Ghanaians who purchased the movie.
lets tackle dis issue dispassionately without takin sides cos dat wouldn’t solve shit.
u are so right !
Lala..I xpress immense gratitude 4 ur post..I kant imagine a porn producer headin n bannin a renowned aktor lyke Kofi.I’d rather he banned the entire cast of his useless n meaningless movie hot fork..then consequentli, himself as well…damn FiPaG..
without any apologies, Hot Fork is not a useless movie.have u watched it fully or u’re basing your argument on the trailer??? and who says Socrates had Kofi banned??
Chris can u find out the real issues on the ground and why Kofi Adjorlolo was banned. i’m sayin dis cos it seems everybody is lost and peoples opinions are based on what they heard from someone who also heard from somebody.
I will try and get in touch with Socrate later today and see….
thanx man.
i honestly dont think it is right to banned someone because he did not show up at a meeting!at a work place when some one absent’s themselves they dont immediately get fired do they?i think GHANAINS are just trying to follow the footsteps of Nigerians as they did with RAMSEY NOAH AND GENEVIVE NNAJI but well if that is what GHANAIAN seniors in the movie industry want they have it!Kofi Adjorlolo is a good actor no doubt about that ,them removing him from the industry is both to shame of the film industry and him i feel they should reconsider their decision as ones fail to attend a meeting cannot lead to such drastic measures 2years is too much i believe GHANaians should think before they act !
i don’t undastand u, those who hire his services say for the next 2years they wont use him, whats your problem.nobody and i repeat nobody can force the producers to use him. dis is no shame to the industry.
well i disagree with you opanyin because it is not those who hire the service that want to banned him its FIPAG and the upper hand of socrate sarfo i am sure producers are not complaining then again i am not here to argue i am just stating my view!
my dear u’re as lost as the lost sheep………..FIPAG stands for FILM PRODUCERS ASSOCIATION OF GHANA. it’s an association for movie Producers in Ghana. i believe your view is distorted.correct yourself ok.
There is absolutely no difference between the way FIPAG behaves and the way a mad man does.Now it is Koffi,Yvonne and Asante.Next it may be Majid,Jackie and Dumelo,and so on until the industry crumbles.Keep up the unproffesionalism FIPAG,keep up the insanity.
if it crumbles are they not the same ones putting money into it??? so whats your beef???
Whatever money they put into it they get back from us,with additions.So in reality,we are the ones putting money into the industry,and they ought to serve us,not themselves.They ought to give us what and WHO we want.
do u have DSTV?? eventhough u pay for it, can u tell dem which programmes to show and which ones to take off??? the fact that u pay for a service doesn’t make u a stakeholder. can football fans dictate to club owners how they should run their clubs? hell no. the thing is if u don’t like what is being offered, u have a choice.go for something else.
Money is paid for services to be rendered.If money is recieved and services are not renderd,then it is dictatorship.
are u kiddin me????? u’re lost and u need salvation. U need JESUS man …..
If your dad has a bussiness,the worst mistake he can do is to enthrust it to u.
hahahahaaaaaa……u’re more dan an idiot. lemme get something into dat small brain of yours.i don’t run ma Dad’s business, i run ma own fuckin business and i’m doin very well. do u think it’s everyone who relies on his/her Dad? dickhead…………
Abi na selling pure water be your bussiness?
i’m not into dat business but even if i am, it’s better than bein unemployed like you. u see why idiots lyk u continue to suffer? u think it’s only white colour jobs dat pay.u’re very wrong playa.
Now this is funny.Who the fuck told u I’m unemployed punk?A sister fucker like yourself just spits out some words he ain’t sure of.Ecoute moi bien;donner moi deux annees,deux petites annees,et tu veras ce que je vais devenir.Tu vas venir te mettre a genoux devant moi,et tu va m’addresser ‘monsieur’,avec tout le respect que ton peuvre ame peut offrir.
@rassfeld pourquoi voudriez-vous que personne de vous donner deux ans pour devenir ce que vous voulez, je dois dire que votre français est vraiment mauvais, vous savez ou il est et si vous n’êtes pas le chômage que pourquoi êtes-vous continuer en français
Mon francais est mauvais?Tu me dis que je suis le chomage au lieu de dire que je suis DANS le chomage et tu dire qye mon francais est mauvais?Tu dis ‘pourquoi voudriez-vous que personne de vous donner deux ans…’,au lieu de dire que ‘pourquoi voudriez-vous qu’on vous donne deux annees….’ et tu dire que mon francais et mauvais?Do you know what this particular phrase u made means?It means ‘why do u want that somebody of u give two years …’.Now u see the nonsense u wrote?It might interest u to know that I’ve got two jobs.One as a translator;english -french french-english.Understand punk?
@rassfeld if your talking to me than your very stupid okay because it was a feedback to one of the people that commented in French and by the way do something about your French okay if you new French that well than you would now what I wrote and I will translate it for you again “@ Rassfeld why would you want someone to give you two years to become what you want, I must say that your French is really bad, you know where he is and if you are unemployed than why do you continue in French” next time get your facts together
Well,it is clear that ,that is what u WANTED to say,but that is NOT what u DID SAY.This is what u said;’@rassfeld why do u want that somebody of u give two years to become what u want,i have to say that your french is really bad,you know where he is and if u are not unemployment that why are you continue in french’.This is the crab u said shithole.It is apparent that u do not even know what u are doing.
Idiot you can keep on with your argument but do realised that you been served already your history do something with your life instead of chasing arguments like I said before YOU HAVE BEEN SERVED GOOD DAY
@Rassfeld,i believe the word u’re looking for is crap not crab……so u see,it’s apparent that u do not know what u’re also saying.
U really are a sheep.I thought u quit arguing?u know,one of the demarcating lines between a man and a woman is that women are GENERALLY inclined to emotion,while men are generally inclined to reason.It is clear that my words did anger u,and the emotion of anger in u suppressed your reason,thereby making u not to stick to the decision u had made,to quit arguing.In the light of this I am happy to announce to u that u are a woman,cause u are more inclined to emotion than reason.Yes granny fucker,that is what u are.You’re nothing but a pussy.
@rassfeld and all this took you more than a week or so to think you know what you are a dick in a cows but yet I will say it again you have been served get the F off
are u sayin dat women cannot think?you’re a pig to say dat. go and tell your mama that she’s inclined to emotion and not reason. dang!!!!! did u even read dat before posting???? i guess your haste to respond and to use the most abusive words u can find on the net clouded your brain.you’re such and idiot but i’m not surprised one bit.
sayin am a woman doesn’t hurt one bit cos i love women.and it’s no sin to be a woman idiot,afterall a woman brought u into dis world.unless i’m wrong abt dat………
Do u reason at all?Didn’t u see the word ‘GENRALLY’?What I said does not mean that women do not reason.What I mean is that a majority of women(more than 50% of them) respond more to their emotions than to their reasoning faculty.In other words,they obey the voice of their emotions over the voice of their reason.So u see,they do reason,but a majority of them ignore their reason and act on their emotions.Whereas a majority of men obey their reason over their emotions.Do u UNDERSTAND?
everytime respond, u show just how ignorant u are.i’m glad u used the words GENERALLY and MAJORITY.if 50+1 percent of Ghanaians love rice, we can conclude that Ghanaians love rice. Ghana is considered a christian nation due to the fact that majority of Ghanaians are considered to be christians.it doesn’t mean der are no muslims or budhists in Ghana.
if u claim that more than 50 percent of Ghanaian women do not reason but follow der emotions, den we can conclude that Ghanaian women do not reason,simple. u need a lot of education,i’ll suggest u start some classes as soon as possible. how do u think researchers come out with their conclusions???? it is based on the majority theory.simple as ABC.
Then let’s conclude.Ghanaian women do not reason.
idiot.
Isn’t that what u wanted to here?U’ve been pressing so hard for it.Sodom and Gomorrah were evil cities.But did God condemn everybody in them just because 99% of the city was evil?No,he saved Lot and his family.In a similar manner,I will not condemn every Ghanaian woman merely because a majority act more on their emotions than on their reason.U and your researchers think u are wise,but u are foolish,for what u have is the wisdom of the world,and the wisdom of the world is infact foolishness.
and u being part of the world means u’re also foolish.as i stated early,every comment u put here shows just how ignorant,illogical and stupid u are. Why,do we say that Egypt is an islamic country???? it’s b’cos majority of the citizens are muslims not b’cos der are no christians der??? why do we say Africa is a black race?? is it bcos we’re all dark skin?? no,it’s bcos majority of us have dark skin.u see, wisdom is not somethin u can acquire from books or the internet, it’s God given.have a lovely day.
I am IN the world,but I am not OF the world.
