So many of us are robustly searching and seeking for happiness. Our daily activities, mindsets and probably our future endeavours with always be geared towards the attainment of happiness.
Our ensconced attitude of searching for happiness has not only kept us busy but has also introduced to us to a misconstruction-that happiness lies afar (on the moon) and we have to work hard, forgo a lot of things, beat and cheat others to reach it.
As genuine as the above may seem, it is in fact false. It is this misconception which has led us astray from the very point where happiness resides. How on earth will you find something when you are looking for that particular thing at the wrong place? No matter how much efforts you put into your search, it will still yield nothing. After all, you are searching for the non-existing.
Do not get me wrong. I am not by any stretch saying or suggesting that happiness does not exist. I am establishing that, it does not exist afar or on the moon as we have always thought.
It is our hope to reach the moon where we think happiness lies which has blinded us from appreciating and realizing that, like a flower, happiness dwells at our feet. We are already blessed with all it takes to be happy and that is Life. Yet we have failed to acknowledge this flower of happiness which blossoms right at our feet.
As an avid reader of your blog-GhanaCelebrities.Com, I just stumbled on the image (attached) on facebook and I was so disturbed I had to write to you so you can clarify things with me and your readers, Hasn’t Exopa done enough harmful for the people of Ghana to allow him and his company to be running the disgraceful tacky Ghana fashion week.
It is in the interest of most Ghanaians to question GMA association with Exopa events, having been clear to all Ghanaians the current reasons behind the imprisonment of founder of Exopa Sima Ibrahim.
Just in case GMA has failed to notice, there are a lot of Ghanaians who have morals and yearn for our nation to progress, and our children to grow within a nation where corruption, and greed leading to practices of such behaviour will not be tolerated. This must stop!
Unfortunately, we now have a Media company such as GMA rather fuelling these practices by supporting such companies, which have been clearly known to the nation to have been founded on dirty money and mal practices.
In a law abiding country such as Ghana, where GMA operates, we now have to question why GMA, that runs shows such as BeBold and other “respected programs” supposedly to encourage the youth and Ghanaians, and those in the Diaspora to join in the shaping of our nation, finds it necessary to associate with Exopa or any events under the umbrella name of Exopa.
GMA, is now boldly sending the wrong message to the people of Ghana, and most especially to the youth of tomorrow, that, it is absolutely fine to build a company on Drugs, even when you are caught and imprisoned you can have our support and still run your company while in prison.
GMA might as well host a show and make it clear to the people of Ghana, where their best interest lies. As we find your act offensive to all Ghanaians, the morally good Ghanaians, who wants to see our Country and its future generation appreciate the joys of working hard and building a strong future from your hard labor respectfully and confidently. NOT with DRUGS or COCAINE!
We are fed up of all these misleading and misdirection from such Companies and those who supports them!!! It must stop.
We believe that GMA and it’s decision makers have the foresight and wisdom enough to relate to this issue seriously, and do what it is right for the nation and it’s concerned citizens rather than turning a blind eye for the sake of what exactly??? Or perhaps a beginning of another corruption.
Thanks for reading my piece on the situation, hopefully you can add your thoughts and clarify to all your readers cheers, I was getting excited that this company http://ghanafashiondesignweek.com/ is coming from abroad to Ghana to fix the Ghana Fashion week business and then I see this image….
Please Investigate who has the legal trademark and who will be leading Ghana fashion industry to international standards.

My Comment:
Hello Ghanaian with a style,
To say EXOPA was fully or somehow founded/established on drug money without any evidence will fetch you a defamatory lawsuit. It is however not unreasonable to make this assumption since the founder/Boss of the company was arrested, charged and convicted for peddling drugs.
In Law (from my study of Company Law), companies have their own legal personalities separated from that of their Directors, Founders or Shareholders.
Based on the above, if a Founder of a company gets into a personal trouble, his trouble does not stretch to the legal personality of the company.

Lydia Forson at the Ghana Music & Food Festival 2011
The maiden edition of the Ghana Music & Food Festival is underway at the Trade Fair Centre, La – Accra. This afternoon, GhanaCelebrities.Com camera caught Ghanaian actress Lydia Forson at the event with family drinking Palm Wine after devouring some balls of heavy Ga food, Kenkey. The actress is indeed enjoying herself

The event continues today and ends tomorrow. The tall list of artistes to perform today at the various stages includes;
This morning, a GhanaCelebrities.Com fan tweeted me and said I should listen to Happy Fm Entertainment show because something ridiculous was happening…
All of a sudden, multiple fuming voices of which the strongest of them was that of Afia Schwarzenegger were heard.
Things got heated up between Afia Schwarzenegger who was drunk and was holding a bottle of Guinness (disclosed by a panel member openly on air) and a certain reporter…
The host of the show was heard on air calling in security to probably come and tow the drunkard Afia Schwarzenegger away.
Gosh, how did this happen? Why was Afia Schwarzenegger drunk on some damn Guinness as early as 10 in the morning?
Why did the management of Happy Fm allow her into the studios while drunk? Some of the comments she made were not radio friendly at all…
Actress Lydia Forson must be learning quick when it comes to building relationship with fans. She seems to relate very well with her fans and to some extent the media…
With all our differences, ups and downs, I find Lydia Forson an ‘open source’. She has a great personality and perfectly understands the importance of having good relationship with others.
Yesterday, the Actress took to twitter in a sort of ‘Question & Answer’ session where she invited questions from her fans. As absurd as some of the questions were, she patiently answered them all….
And guess what? GhanaCelebrities.Com also had some questions for her which she answered. Below are some of the questions and answers!
Mzbel real name Nana Ekua must be getting impatience and probably pissed with Hype Records-organizers of the upcoming Red Lipstick Concert after having to wait over 10 hours for just a rehearsal. You see why artistes don’t like to rehearse in Ghana prior to concerts? Personally, I do not get some of these Concert organizers … Read more

Finally the organizers of the Zulu African Film Academy Awards (ZAFAA) have released the winners of this year’s awards. Ghana grabbed 5 awards. Director Frank Arase Raja picked the best director nod for the direction of ‘Somewhere In Africa’ movie.
The same movie won the best sound editing and best story. Chucks and Pascal Amanfo picked those awards respectively. Costumier and Jackie Appiah’s manageress Samira Yabuku picked the Best Costumier whiles TV Africa shared the honours with NTA TV station from Nigeria in the Best West African TV Stations category.
The maiden edition of the Ghana Music & Food Festival has forced Ewe rapper, Edem to postpone the launch of his second album, ‘Mass Production’. In an interview with Myjoyonline, the rapper said he has postponed the launch scheduled for October 29 at Accra Mall car park.
Explaining the postponement, he said it was necessitated due to a clash in the dates of the album launch and the Ghana Music and Food Festival scheduled to come off at the International Trade Fair Centre from October 28, 29 to 30 where he has been billed to perform.
“I am performing that day at the Music and Food Festival so I have decided to sacrifice my album launch for the event,” which the Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA), of which he is an active member, has thrown its weight behind.”
He therefore appeals to his fans to come to the Music and Food Festival to watch him perform new songs from the album. New date for the album launch will be announced at a press conference to be called soon.
In a related development, the Musicians Union of Ghana [MUSIGA] has confirmed over 75 Ghanaian musicians to perform at the event. The artistes were drawn from various genres of music including High Life, Hip Life, Gospel and Reggae.
