And there was enough room for her to show her cleavage too.

Nicki had her nails painted black and her long dark hair straightened and styled in a centre part, with large hoop earrings standing as the only major accessory to the ensemble.

To be frank, she was looking gorgeous…

John Dumelo Takes the Train in London….

I understand this is not news and there is nothing special about John Dumelo taking the train in London—after all, the Prime Minister, Rihanna, Jay-Z, Jennifer Lopez and others do take the train.

But the reason why I am posting this is to slap it in the face of those Ghanaian Celebrities who have in the past expressly or impliedly stated that, they cannot take the trains out here in London.

I’ve dealt with several Ghanaian Celebrities who do not drive in London and yet when you ask them to jump on the train (which is cheaper, quicker and convenient) they go mute over the phone. Mostly, I follow my suggestion with; no one will recognize you so if you are worried about your status, then that should not be a problem…

Celebrity Mums Talking Too Much; Are They Helping or Damaging Their Children’s Career?

Shatta Wale

 

Publicity is very necessary in the music industry. It can either make or break a musician. It is of no surprise that almost all musicians around the globe have resorted to using publicity to their advantage.

It becomes a real challenge when people join the publicity train to dilute issues on board. These pose serious challenges for such musicians on how to deal with such bad publicity.

One popular trend that is emerging in Ghana’s music industry is musicians’ mothers adding their voices to their children’s music career issues. Not only do they talk about such issues once, but perform this act over and over again.

Such acts either create more public awareness for the said musician or damage the career of the fellow. Two musicians whose mothers have chastised them publicly are Okomfour Kwadee and Shatta Wale.

Kwadee’s Unofficial PRO – His Mother

From somewhere 2009, news circulated that one of Ghana’s best storytellers, Okomfour Kwadee, had gone mad. This came at a time when music lovers weren’t hearing new releases from him. It was speculated that he had gone mad because of his excessive use of weed. Others were also of the view that he had been suffering from High Fever. At a point in time, it was reported that he went “off-board” whilst performing at a show in Koforidua. Following all these reports, Kwadee was once in a while spotted on various media platforms clearing the air…

Nobody knows who appointed his mother as his Public Relations Officer. She went round addressing the issue of her son’s state of affair. It got to a point where Kwadee himself became angry and warned his mom never to go on media platforms to address issues concerning him.

Funny enough, Kwadee’s mum advised him to quit music since he wasn’t mentally well. This attracted lot of attention. As the mum was insisting her son was sick, Kwadee was also denying the allegation. This, in fact, did not help Kwadee who was trying to resuscitate his career in terms of publicity.

Samsung Electronics West Africa has announced that their new Smartphone, the Galaxy Ace 3 as it is known in Africa is also known as the Galaxy Star Plus in some other countries outside the continent.

The clarification has been made to ensure consumers are properly informed and also to clear up any misunderstanding for customers who check the specifications of the Galaxy Ace 3 phone online and get features for a different product.

Director of Mobile at Samsung, Electronics West Africa, Mr. Jaspreet Singh, said that the Galaxy Ace 3 (GT-S7262) in Ghana is actually the globally known Galaxy Star Plus (GT-S7262).

The President of the Ghana Actors Guild GAG, Mr. Nii Odoi Mensah, has revealed to GhanaCelebrities.Com that “majority of the guild’s members don’t pay dues.”

Mr. Odoi made this revelation to GhanaCelebrities.Com when we approached his office and asked for his reactions on why the guild charges money from its members before giving them an introductory letter for official assignments – travelling, seeking sponsorship, accreditations, etc.

“Yes we charge them. If we don’t charge them, where would we get money to run the guild? Majority of the guild’s members don’t pay their dues. Both in head office (Accra) and in Kumasi. They don’t pay. I once had to go to Kumasi to admonish them – the guild’s members to be paying their dues. Without money we can’t do much as far as actors’ welfare is concerned!

GhanaCelebrities.Com gathers that, the guild charges GHC 50 for every introductory letter the guild prepares for its members. We also gather that some A-List actors such as – Kalsoume Sinare, Jackie Appiah, Yvonne Nelson, and others, all stand accused. However, Mr. Odoi refused to react to that for confirmation or otherwise.

19 Years Sad Prison Story of Geeman to Be Used For a Movie

Nana Kwasi Agyeman alias Gemann-right

 

A Ghanaian filmmaker by name, Kofi Yeboah, has revealed that he would be using the 19 years sad prison story of ex-convict, Nana Akwasi Agyemang popularly known as Geeman, for a movie.

In 1995, Nana Akwasi Agyemang aka Geeman, shot and killed a taxi driver at Dome in Accra – following an argument over payment of taxi fare. The taxi driver had been hired by Nadia, a female friend of Gemann from Odorkor to Geeman’s home in Dome. According to Nadia, the fare agreed upon was 3,000 cedis (now 3p) while the taxi driver said it was 4,000 cedis (now 4p).

Gemann accused the Taxi Driver of overcharging an actress who was visiting him for a movie project. He refused to pay the driver the amount the latter charged and that led to a misunderstanding between them.

The driver came back later and collected a patch of sand from a spot where Gemann was previous standing, supposedly for black magic purposes. Gemann got offended, ran into his room and brought out a pistol with which he shot the taxi driver – after giving a warning shot.

Jagger Pee, a close pal to Geeman, was alleged to have hassled the taxi driver and was holding him before the shooting. After police investigations and court trial, Jaggar Pee was convicted for abetment of crime and was given a life sentence and Gemann sentenced to death for murder.

Nadia and another lady, Vida, who was at Gemann’s residence at the time of the incident, were discharged by the court. The third person, identified only as Kwame is still on the run.

By work of destiny, Gemann went into custody on the 9th of January, 1995 and was set free on the 9th of Jan, 2009 by a Presidential pardon from the then outgoing President, John Agyekum Kuffour; after serving his constitutionally mandated two term of office.

The above true story which happened almost 19 years ago, is to be screen played and used for a blockbuster movie just like the true life story of Ghanaian Takoradi born, Kingsley Ofosu, whose ‘stow away’ story at the Takoradi harbor in 1992, was used by HBO and other Hollywood filmmakers for the movie, ‘Deadly Voyage.’
