One of the many reasons why I founded GhanaCelebrities.Com is to help celebrate those in the limelight alongside using the platform to showcase their talents… Do not get it twisted, it does not rain everyday, when these stars meant to be celebrated find themselves in the wrong pit, we give it to them on here accordingly…
I cannot count the number of times people have asked me, why do you sometime result to bashing these Ghanaian celebrities if indeed the intention and purpose of your site is to mainly celebrate them? The answer I have always given is simple, GhanaCelebrities.Com was created to be used both as a shield and a sword…(Defend and celebrate the good works of our stars and also bash and bring to light the dirty works of these same stars).
The reason behind this post is to react to an interview Ghanaian celebrities-Roselyn Ngissah and Beverly Afaglo granted newsone recently…The two stars mentioned that Ghanaians back home do not know how to treat celebrities and DEMANDED to be treated as celebrities…
Roslyn Ngissah told Newsone that, “You know someone sees you and goes like…if the person wants to say hi, then the person goes like oh it is her, it is not her.
But when we meet people who have travelled abroad and come back, when they meet us they are like ‘oh I want an autograph’ because they understand how to celebrate stars over there. It is not yet here but we are gradually getting there.
However there was a time I went a primary school and the children there were like they want autograph and I was surprised. Treat us like a celebrity and the celebrities that we are. Nothing more, nothing less.”
Roselyn continued “Sometimes when you go to the bank, they will make you join a long queue, they don’t want to care.
But there was this other bank I went to and a lady gave me chance. I am not saying treat me like a god. Sometimes there are people who have been in the bank for hours…somebody when they even see you they even get angry (sic).
For me, I have had too many experiences when it comes to people and how they celebrate stars. But I think we are getting there,”
Beverly also added that ” even though she had not done many movies in Nigeria, as compared to Ghana, she got a lot of attention anytime she entered the Nollywood country”.
At the end of it all, the two stars called on Ghanaians to celebrate the stars and treat them as celebrities…CLAP CLAP CLAP!
Now what about these celebrities checking themselves…Have then asked themselves if they are behaving like celebrities to be accordingly treated as such? You do not demand to be treated a certain way in life, you earn it…
If you have no regard for your fans, the media and the public at large, how do you expect them to treat you like Queens and Kings?
Dealing with some of these celebrities is sickening, I think my lil cousin at the primary school even has value for herself and her work than majority of these celebrities… Their public relations and how they react to issues concerning them SUCKS! It makes me wanna throw up sometimes…
You know what, you get what you deserve in life especially when it comes to how you want to be treated…Your behaviour and outlook dictate the way and manner people will treat you.
So instead of our Ghanaian Celebrities going about DEMANDING to be treated as celebrities in Ghana, what about evaluating themselves and starting to BEHAVE like celebrities?
After all, Newton’s third law of motion says, the mutual forces of action and reaction between two bodies are equal, opposite and collinear. (Action and reaction are the same but opposite)…
You behave like a BIN, you get treated like a TRASH! PERIOD…
u guys call urself celebrities…plzzzz cos ur fake assent fake n ugly make-ups u guys wear yall need to cum to hollywood if u really wana call urself tht…celebrity ma ass ……
@maame, These 2 haven’t starred in any movie. Not to discredit what they’ve done, but there practically nobodies in Gollywood. They need to chill out. I guarantee you Jackie, Nadia, Both Yvonne’s wouldn’t say this, because they’ve put in work. These 2 are always on the sideline. Expecially Beverly, theres no excuse for you. If you where so great Shirley or Leila would of gave you a call by now. You people need to step it up instead of crying to be labeled celebrities, as if everyone wants an autograph from you. I guarantee if you come to Canada/Toronto, nobody would want none of your autographs LMAO.
wow…!!!! But in the West it’s the same celebs do stay in line also at the bank, grocery store and so on. They are just like you and me. However, there are some very few Western celebs who are been treated with respect simple due to their work in their community and charity work around the World. These people also do respect back to fans.
What’s wrong with people are not sure if it’s you or not you they are seeing on the streets?!?!?!
Juliet is cool and her self, I like thats.
Get some good charity work done and we’ll celeb you. 😉
Why they wanna beg for celebrity status,when they arent…Aputuuuu!!!!! to call these local shits celebrities.
I love them all . Maame, Osei , Akosua. What have you guys done to contribute to your motherland Ghana , if you are proud to be one . yvonne ,van v, juliet, nadia, john d pascal agya koo ,all of them make me proud to be a Ghanaian. I will not tarnish the image of my country ,but rather help boost it. Respect Ghana
@Nii, wise talk bro.These are the people making Ghana proud not the one’s washing dishes and brushing dog’s teeth,taking care of sick people and live as Abrokyire fo).They are not as famous or rich like the western celebs but if u come to Gh,these are the one’s who keeps our entertainment industry buzzzing!!!!
@Nii, Oh…. yeah Agya Koo is a celeb I respect him, cause he respect him self.
If you read the news at peacefmonline.com the ladies are saying that Ghanaians don’t have education
why they don’t know how to celebrity them (actress). I’m sorry but you just can’t say this to your fans.
Or one you want to celeb you!!!!!
@Akosua,
in order to be a celebrity u have to have something worth celebrating,if ur talent or work output isnt worth celebrating then u cant be a celebrity. And since most of them arent really impressing i cant see how i will give them celebrity attention. Me for instance if i saw Rihanna i wont fuss about her as much as i would say Mariah Carey or Adele or Alicia Keys. Cos in my books her talents are not worth celebrating, (sicne she is neither a good singer, dancer nor performer) The same formula applies to my GH stars
celebrityooooooooooo no celebrityooooooooooo n so wat u’re celebrity n so wat ,who made u a celebrity as u call your self, abeg give us a break na obia nye obia.
lol.i was travelling 2 ghana last summer and i met one of the actress at the airport, so we sat together on the seat, , meaning she sat behind me, so when the plane landed at armsterdam we hav to wait for about 2 hrs for the flight which flying to accra. so this actress started asking me how she love weave, my cloths , my shoes and my make up so i should accompany her to a cosmetics shop to find some make up, so lot of thing. i was really suprized and amused. so i became tired of her. lol and all i was thinking was” what a celebrity” i m soo sorry i can’t mention her name. but i was really disappointed and sad.
these people are all wanna be hollywood star who don’t have any idea what it takes to reach dat level. some of them really suck.
@lucky1010,why did’t you record the conversation ,did she beg you for 1 euro ?
@lucky1010, A friend went to ghana this past april, transited at amsterdam, lo n behold who was sitting next to him, none other than nadia n her mom, nobody made a fuss about her, when they got to ghana the same thing, they cant expect the people to treat them like beyonce or rihanna cos they r not famous like that.
i dont get what this stars are saying at all,they are just normal like us ,are they expecting us to worship them? ,for their info majority of the stars in hollywood do what non-stars do too ,they participate in communal labour,they respect their neighbours,the only difference is they dont blow thier horns or they dont beg to be treated as stars .
and one thing is ghanains are different from americans .
So what the hell are these so called celebrities trying to imply? they do not have to queue when they go to the bank? If they think indeed they are celebs, they should get assistants to go to the banks and do the queuing for them. nonsenses
So these LOCAL CHAMPIONS say what? we should treat them like celebrities? have then asked themselves who a celebrity is? ah wiase paaa, I don’t blame them. they should know there is diff between ashawobrity and celebrity
@Tracy, lo! laughter wan kill me. ashawobrity !!! funny celebrities
Who born dog? stupidity at the highest peak. Look at roselyn, better loose some weight so you can get more movie roles and stop talking celebrity worship. who should worship you? beverly too what has she done? dating praye and lieing that an old mama like you is 24years is what makes you a celebrity right?
@TiffanyBabe,
P
@TiffanyBabe, In relation to Beverly, I know her personally and she is not 24 yrs old. She is older than my sis who is above 25. And I know her family as well.. She is about 28-30….When will ppl stop lying abt their age??. SMH!!!
How old are u in the movie industry that u want ghanaians to kneel when u are coming better watch urselves, ask Genevieve how long it took her to reach that stage u are demanding. In the banks that u dont want to queue have u ask urself whether some people even know u, dear friends upgrade urselves and stop this celebrity thing because u are not yet celebrities.
haha, last yr when i was coming back to the US, i saw chris attoh n his gf at the airport, i wasnt going to jump up n down, n act all crazy, heck if i see idris elba am not going to act like a lunatic, so what the hell does she want from the people.? I like Roselyn but bish have several seats on this one.
haha dis sum nonsense asking of the public to celebrate u.woman u dont ask to be treated as a celebrity u earn it.Ur ass needs to show sum humilty n respect.U dont want to be a queue y bcos u shit bomb or granades or a celebrity.y will i want to get autograph if u not worth it.Respect whtcu say.
I love Beverly very much cos shes down to earth.she’s d only star who replies my messages on fb n very nice when u meet her.@tifanny,get ur facts right,Beverly has never lied abt her age.she’s not like some stars. Anyways,I luv my Ghanaian stars
@Babe, How much did she pay you to save her ass, she should try and play lead roles that to always be in the back, maybe then i will begin to recognise her.
These girls should take a second look at themselves, what on earth have they done to be celebrated. This should simply tell them that they have a lot to do to improve on the talent God has given them!
Lmao, this is really funny…. All I can say is – Like the article title suggests, Behave like celebrities.. They have to bare in mind that their fans look up to them, as in ‘role models’… Speaking of fans, they hardly connect with thier fans…. These western celebrities their comparing themselves to go the extra mile to return the love their fans give to them….. If they also start to appreciate us, who knows….. someone could freely allow Roselyn to cross a line anything she visits the bank….
Ok seriously whether you are a Hollywood, Ghollywood or Nollywood star you’re still a human just like the next person. I mean seriously what defines a celebrity? A god-like creature that should be praised have the ground they walk on kissed? Heck no! And how are we supposed to treat them? Don’t they eat through their mouths like the rest of us? They surely piss and take dumps like the rest of us so what makes them different? Just cuz you’re an actor, singer, or business extraordinaire, and have money doesn’t mean your biological structure is different from mine. I don’t care whether you are a Hollywood star like Oprah, or someone like Roselyn but don’t expect to be treated like you are all high and mighty. People will naturally respect and admire you if they like who you are or represent to them, but don’t get your panties in a bunch if no one likes your work and therefore doesn’t kiss the ground you walk on. But i blame it all on society. Don’t get me wrong i like some celebrities and respect them only if you deserve it. Nuff said!
Y shuld i celebrate dem wen dey r doin wot dey r being paid 4 of wot use r dey 2 me dat requres mi respects afta all dey ain’t god, even at pub.Toilet i wont give dem chance talkless of d bank cos i deal on GIGO(garbage in garbage out) which means celebrate me and i will celebrate you
Chris, what specifically do you want our celebrities to do to treat them as celebrities?
this completely foolishness. kwasiasem. u kol urself celebrities my foot. wat do u no and wat do u av. apuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. u want us to recognize u guys. in ur dreams.
y3 p3 nam papa ay3 nkwanaaaaaaaaa 3si koto
Haha these girls r funny paa cos they happened to appear on TV, they then classified themselves as celebrities. I believe they really dnt understand the word celebrity. I guess not even up to 1000ppl know them,yet they called themselves celebrities. Roselyn, u know, not that few GH cedis u would be withdrawing frm da bank, that ppl should allow u pass by them n nt join the queue. I believe u guys wanted as 2 hear some prank cos I cnt believe u r actually say these.
well..i wldnt wnt to be all noticed all d tym if i was an actor..heck im jst doing a job..jst like any other…wats d fuss abt anyway..its bcos u xpect it dats why u dnt get.. jst relax n go abt ur job n ull see wheda u earn it or not
@ThickMama,Best answer, best comment so far
APUUUUUUUUUUUUTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA RESPECT U MY ASSSSSSSSSSSS
ok i dnt think its that serious…i think we should at least give them the benefit of the doubt…we praise foreign stars than our own…whn genevieve and other nigerian stars come to ghana, we praise them like no other….beverly and roselyn might not be doing alot for the community, but we can actually be proud of them…if not for anything, for the fact that they appear on our screens to entertain us…its just nice…we can actually encourage these stars whn we see them on the street (THAT’S IF U LIKE THEM)…if gives them the hype to do more…because now they know that someone is watching them and liking what they do…so it doesn’t call for an insult…let’s be proud of our own…even nigeria respects their bottomless celebrity and would do all they can to put them on the map for the whole world to know…so let’s at least acknowledge them…WE LIKE INSULTS TOOOOOOOOO MUCH AAAAH
the celebrities are doing great.
chris truthfully you are angry over noting. it is people lke you and platforms like this that makes these guys famous. the more you talk about them the more people want to know who they are.that was how usama bin ladin got popular. all this talk will not stop peple from watchig their movies or loving them.how would you like to be noticed at the end of along queque at the bank and taken to the managers office and be given a 1st class treatment. i guess all this talk is because you want to be famous too. but you aint them.lol
