Some of us who have met and dealt with men who will jump on anyone and anything in a skirt did not need this research to confirm our all-time assumption about men—they are very much unfaithful and will have affairs at the slightest chance. I do not believe in policing your man as that makes … Read more

How Popular Are Our Ghanaian Celebrities? Let’s End The Delusion!

Jackie Appiah2

Celebrities all over the world have taken a pill of delusion—making them feel they are above certain things, untouchable or possess some sort of inherent superiority.

Most, it is the delusion which fetches them all the troubles they constantly find themselves in with the law, drugs and society…

Narrowing it down to Ghana, it is apparent that most of our Ghanaian Celebrities have taking the obstinate pill of delusion—making them think they are far popular than they are in reality.

And I do not blame them for their delusion; I think it mostly stems from the way and manner we easily give the celebrity cloth to people to wear in Ghana.

In Ghana, everyone on TV is equally a celebrity and the moment the person is tagged as such, he/she thinks the next Lady Gaga or Michael Jackson has arrived—measuring his/her fame beyond the rode.

Recently, I got into a discussion with a certain Ghanaian Celebrity (we call of them so) about why Nigerian TV personality Denrele did not know actress-Lydia Forson when he hosted the Channel O’ News Live in Accra.

According to this female Ghanaian Celebrity, what Denrele did was a total disrespect and Nigerians always do that to bring Ghana down.

I tried to get her to consider this; what if Denrele did not actually know who Lydia Forson is? And as a matter of fact, I will not be shocked if he does not know her and several of our so called celebrities—-because the noise and hype is only in Accra.

Unbelievably, this Ghanaian Celebrity could not make sense of my point, disregarding my assertion that most of these Ghanaian Celebrities are not that popular—beyond the soil of Accra.

I am the Editor of GhanaCelebrities.Com, the biggest and leading Ghanaian Entertainment/Celebrity online media property and yet, I do not know/have not heard of some of the people tagged Ghanaian celebrities—that is a fact…

Frequently, I find myself asking; what does this one too do? And the answer is always the same, he is a TV presenter or he was featured in some non-selling movie. Yet, the person has a celebrity status in Ghana!

I hangout with several Ghanaian Celebrities outside Ghana and to be frank, we all zoom through the crowd without anyone mostly noticing them.

Even if Oprah Winfrey was not known by some folks in Switzerland, what makes our Ghanaian Celebrities think they are so popular beyond measure—and that everyone should know them?

This piece is not to undermine the achievements or status of our Ghanaian Celebrities; I am seeking to establish how popular they really are—from your end…

I have several friends who are Ghanaians and do not know Jackie Appiah, Yvonne Okoro and John Dumelo—-simply because they do not probably watch Ghanaian movies. And if you leave outside Ghana that is the only way you will come across these people.

Equally, if you do not live in Ghana and do not watch any Ghanaian television, you will not know any of the many TV presenters tagged celebrities in Ghana.

Deborah Vanessa

Deborah Vanessa recently tried to ‘steal’ attention once more with the release of another single-Little Light, which went straight down the pit—she probably should have left the music with just ‘Uncle Obama’ to her name.

Juliet Ibrahim has also been shooting series of photos, and I am told she recent glammed up for another shoot during her London visit.

I spoke to Juliet Ibrahim few days ago and I asked her ‘what has happened to her first self-produced movie-Number One Fan’ which she released a trailer some months ago.

A Disciplined Ghana – Can We Achieve That?

ghanaflagRecently, the country have been blinded by politics cum supreme court proceedings that political fanatics even forget  that the country does not belong to any political party to be shared like plots of land among so-called supporters. The country followed political parties and lost its sense of nationalism. Unnecessary fear and anxiety was caused by individuals who should have known better.

Thankfully, the ‘pink sheet’ trouble and scrutiny is over. The (non)sense has been taken out of the nonsense and individuals have no choice but to ‘agree to disagree’ on any political judgements/issue. Time for the country to continue business as usual and do away with the indiscipline and lawlessness which has so much engulfed the country—which is eating away the very moral fibre of all.

I don’t see why disagreements on political issues should turn into physical and verbal assault on regular basis.  That is why some people still find it difficult to be part of the political game even though they could have made lots of positive inputs into our political discourse for the general good.

Our roads are massive jungles where the survival of the fittest prevails—majority of drivers just do not know the use of indicators.

The unregistered vehicles are competing to outnumber registered ones and they ‘love’ to show their supremacy by overtaking from whatever side that suits them while the police is busy checking papers to see if the days’ meal can conveniently be paid for by the unfortunate driver. The indiscipline on our roads should really be tackled.

The country practices a freedom of speech policy but in my opinion, freedom of speech should be limited to persons of intelligence who have something ‘sensible’ to contribute on radio phone-in programmes. The various media outlets should ensure discipline on the airwaves, print media etc.
