Any More Women
Any More Women

It looks like 2014 is going to be a very stimulating, fun-packed as well as competitive year for the Ghana Movie industry. Although, the year is young, we are aware of a lot of good and quality productions which are coming out soon. There are also a good number of great movies coming out in the month of February which will present so many options for African movie lovers.

One of such interesting movies titled-Any more women? will be premiered at the National Theatre on 8th February, 2014. Not only does the movie’s title strike as interesting but the poster gives a very suggestive and flattering outlook of the movie. In any case if the team was trying to wet our appetite with that flattering picture of the lead actor then I must confess they just did.

Although the movie is from a new production house called GISIM Studios. The production, we are told promises to be worth every watching second…

‘Any more women?’ is directed by Oheneba Acheampong, written by Kofi Safo Ntim, produced by Larko Djabatey- Yirenkye with support from Ken Fiati. The movie ensembles a host of seasoned actors like Fifi Coleman, Prince David Osei, Ebi Bright, Ken Fiati, and Timothy Bentum and attract veteran actors-Fred Amugi, Pascaline Edwards and Albert Jackson-Davies

With Women Proposing Marriage These Days, Who Should Pay The ‘Dowry’?

woman-proposing

 

Today, we find ourselves torn between tradition and civilisation. While some would like to move away from the ways of the past and forget practices like the payment of dowry when they seek to wed, others feel that it is necessary to retain some aspects of the gone days and honour their to be in-laws with a token of gratitude. I don’t have a problem with payment of dowry (apart from the exorbitant prices some families charge because the man/woman is based ‘abroad’)

Many people delay getting married, fearing that they may be unable to pay the exorbitant bride price (because it seems the prices are never stagnant, it keeps rising higher and higher). The payment of dowry is something which I don’t see being abolished in many years to come but as things are changing and moving in reverse order, that department should also be changed and moved in reverse order.

I was on a shopping expedition with a friend purchasing his ‘long list’ of items required by the family of his wife-to-be and it was a very exhausting list. With all the textile manufacturing factories in Ghana, they preferred ‘Holland/English’ wax prints, sewing machine, (man suffer) etc. etc. I just understood why many mothers get frustrated when their daughters are not settling down because there is money to be made in the ‘engagement’ industry.

He turned to me and said jokingly “But…., why should I be buying the items and pay the dowry when it was the lady who proposed marriage? After pausing a while, he continued “…. . Even if a woman should pay the dowry, that is handing power over to her because the man should always be the head of the family.” I said he’s got a point because men are expected to propose marriage to women but if the women have taken up the baton of doing that, they can just as well pay the dowry. As to the subject of losing power to the woman, many of them are wearing the trousers in their matrimonial homes even though the man paid everything to the last dime.
