I do not like to underestimate the power of love, but that will not stop me from saying that so many people over estimate the influence of lovers in their lives.

When the news below was brought to my attention by a loyal reader, all I asked was; what drives people to kill themselves?

The loyal reader is a friend to the deceased “Prince Annor Aboagye” and he described him as a very intelligent, ambitious and calm gentleman. Prince Annor Aboagye had his Secondary School Education at the Opoku Ware Secondary, Kumasi, where he held the Dinning Hall Prefect position during his final year.

Motivational Message Of The Week: Success Primarily Lies In Doing What Others Don’t Like To Do…

blank

I am not a mass follower and this is simply because I dwell largely on the famous words of Mohandas Gandhi “An error does not become truth by reason of multiplied propagation, nor does truth become error because nobody sees it”.
Apart from the reality echoed above by Ghandi about “majority involvement”, every successful person I know, have known or have read about threaded on individual lines, digging deep and taking passion in the very things the “majority” did not like to do.

It does not take more than common sense for every individual to comprehend that, if all of us with the desire to be successful keep chasing or developing a single or substitutable product, we will be left with no consumers at the end of the race.

Being unique is a hallmark of Success and this can easily be achieved by having a strong desire to pursue that which everyone seems to have lost hope in, picking up the difficult task that everyone has left unattended to in order to chase the easier ones and developing the habit of doing those things that failures do not like to do.blank

Rejoinder: Nadia Buari’s PR Firm Drops Her As A Client For Her Big Fat “Oscar Dela Renta Gown” Lie…

 

Nadia Buari In Her So Called Oscar De La Renta Gown
Nadia Buari In Her So Called Oscar De La Renta Gown

As a Nadia Buari fan and above all, a very objective and reasonable person, I have decided to have my say about the above story loudly heard.

I am more than certain that the person/victim in the middle of this drama “Nadia Buari” will not say anything. Nadia Buari we all know is not a media person; neither does she seem like the person who will come out to address this issue no matter how hard it pinches and hurts her.

I am not a spokesperson for Nadia Buari. I do not know her personally; I am just another loving fan who is able to see beyond what the media on the face of issues put out there.

We all know Nadia Buari is not an angel; surely she is not also a devil. Even if she is the latter, she is not the only devil in any industry such as the Ghanaian Movie Industry fully filled with several demons, back stabbers, gossipers and liars. However, her calm and non-candid nature is making people run over her freely without a defence or stand up from anyone for her.

Today, I will try and point out to the various GhanaCelebrities.Com readers certain things I find bizarre about the development of this Nadia Buari and PR Firm issue. If GhanaCelebrities.Com is indeed a platform for all, then I am hoping to see this given the necessary audience else I would tag Chris-Vincent and his team as PHD (Pull Her Down) individuals.

Love & Relationship: Is Marriage Still A Necessity?

blank

I recently came across an article on the web, detailing how divorce rates on a global scale have increased extensively. A key point that particularly stood out to me was that whilst the divorce rates across all the continents of the world were steadily increasing, the continent that saw the highest increase in divorce rates- compared to the rest of the world- was Africa, and in particular Western Africa.

Although this was not the first time I had been confronted with such issue (i.e. the rising level of divorce cases), this was the first time I had seen explicit facts detailing how much divorces are also becoming a commonplace occurrence within African societies.

Henceforth, with divorce cases rising and rising, I pose the question to readers: is it even necessary to get married nowadays, or is marriage now a complete waste of time?

Personally, I definitely do want to get married and when the time comes for me to do so, I do not want it to be for some years or so. When I stand up in a church and say “…till death do us part”, then I truly mean it. However, I am aware that sometimes, things can happen in a marriage that can change everything.

Dear GC,

So far 2011 has been really good to me. I’ve just started a new job at a law firm as a Junior solicitor. I’m obviously very new so I’ve been trying to keep my head down.

The only thing is I can’t help but notice all the eligible bachelors around. I told my best pal about a guy who would be perfect for her. I’m not normally into the whole match making thing but she’s my closet pal and has been single forever.
