Ghana, A Nation Full of People Who Glorify Lies & Hate the TRUTH!

06/12/2014 1:07 pm

Without contempt, I can boldly say the default Ghanaian mindset works in an absurd manner and probably, some of the important connecting wires which help in critical thinking and truth seeking have been damaged.

How can a country be full of people who entertain such a deep revulsion for truth and rather, glorify ourselves in lies—presenting false as true and constantly oppressing the truth and those who decide to break away from the populace trait, to say the truth?

Ironic, every Ghanaian knows the real truth behind whatever situation at any point in time but for some incomprehensible reason, we see majority of people peddling lies and defending to death propaganda while pushing the truth into the dark.

Even though multiple propagation of false does not make the claim being spread true, it surely distorts events and portrays those championing that course as dishonest individuals with inherent hatred for truth. This is what each day has become in Ghana—no one wants to hear or say the truth.

From our politicians to the journalists (not forgetting the pastors) the truth is never said but vigorous efforts are made each day to feed the targets with well thought-of forged information.

At first, I thought most Ghanaians are lazy when it comes to truth searching but then I realized, it is something coded into our DNA. Even if the true lies as obvious as the sun in front of us, we will turn a blind eye to it and still call it the moon.

Therefore, it is not a case where you would argue that, it is difficult to find the truth in certain circumstances; it is a case of the ordinary Ghanaian loathing the truth and loving the lie.

If it is vividly black, a Ghanaian will say it is blue black. Mostly such a person will have something to gain and sometimes, will be covering up for someone else—forgetting that no matter the joules of energy pumped into hiding the truth, it will eventually find it way to top.

There is no amount of honesty left in our minds and we do not regard truth as the cornerstone of morality or a debt we owe one another as people.

Our inherent detest for telling and hearing the truth has taken centre stage in whatever we do—handing over awards and praises to people who we agree in our hearts as unworthy of them. And defending people whose actions or omissions do not warrant any bit of support, except condemnation…

Currently, Yvonne Nelson and Jackie Appiah are being featured in a movie together—and we hope it will turn up to be a good movie as we’ve starved for something good from these two people for long… The above photo has gotten me a little confused. For these years that Yvonne Nelson has been said to … Read more

GHAMRO’s Radio Logging Software to Be Completed Before the Year Ends – GHAMRO ICT Manager Assures

06/12/2014 11:33 am

by Edith Osei Bonsu

The Head of ICT at the Ghana Music Right Organization GHAMRO, Mr. Snoopy Mike Gyamfi, has reiterated that GHAMRO shall be completing software to check all radio stations across the length and breadth of Ghana to log songs before the year ends.

For many years now, players in Ghana’s showbiz industry have suggested to GHAMRO to use special software to track songs radio stations play so the latter pay royalties to the right owners of the songs they play – musicians.

The ‘telephone nkomo’ hit maker, Snoop Mike Gyamfi, who unknown to many, is an IT specialist, explained to the media some weeks back that “in the olden days, we used the manual logging system but it did not work!

Hence, we have to make use of technology. That is why we are developing an application. It will be a distributive application; which means, it’s on a server. Everyone can have access to it once the fellow is one way or the other connected to the internet or through whatever handshake between one’s server and the system.

We can make it automatic to monitor the radio stations. In that way, we would have more computers or one computer that can search all the frequencies. On the other hand, we can also make the application so that anytime you – radio station, complete your programme, you just log in all the songs and it will reflect on our – GHAMRO server.

Again, we can also build the application in such a way that the application will itself record any number of songs that the station plays. So if the stations refuse to use the second option, GHAMRO shall come out with a standard, say the application should record 15 or 20 songs every day.

GC Exclusive: Bola Ray Pays Glowing Tribute to Joy Fm’s Boss-Kwesi Twum As He Takes a Bow

GhanaCelebrities.Com can confirm that, Nathan Kwabena Adisi (popularly known as Bola Ray) has paid a glowing tribute to Joy Fm’s Boss-Kwesi Twum as he takes a bow, ending his remarkable 11 years of service to the company as one of Ghana’s finest radio personalities…

With excitement about what the future holds for him, the CEO of Empire Group of Companies confirmed his exit to GhanaCelebrities.Com, saying, everything that has a beginning has an end—and that, taking up new challenges in life has always been his source of inspiration.

The Host of Drive Time on Joy FM, Ghana’s most listened to late afternoon radio show did not give further details as to his next line of radio career but being the head of one of the fastest growing companies in Ghana, Empire—with several business ventures including a radio station in Takoradi, it is expected that Bola Ray’s voice will stay in the airwaves but on another frequency, probably in Accra.

For such an outstanding radio host to leave Joy Fm, there is no doubt Bola Ray’s resignation will create an ‘indelible’ gap on the station’s airwaves. Whoever may step into his shoes will be able to only go as far as possible but cannot completely fill in the huge gap.

Definitely, listeners of Joy Fm will miss his unique voice and presenting style but we hope to be able to flip our dial and catch him up somewhere soon—else, his greatness will be missing from the late afternoon radio waves in Ghana.

Black Stars Arrive in Brazil for World Cup | Opening Ceremony to Take Place Today

The Black Stars arrived in Brazil Wednesday night for the FIFA World Cup which commences later today.

The Stars landed in Salvador after their scheduled ten hour trip from Washington, USA. The entire playing body, including the currently injured Abdul Majeed Warris was all on board, as well as the technical team.

The Black Stars, who will be based in Maceio for the group stages, then boarded another flight to the north-eastern Brazilian province where a local government delegation as well as some fans were waiting to welcome the team.

Despite arriving early today, the Stars are all set to hit the ground running with their first training session later in the day, with their opening game against the United States on June 16 foremost in their minds.

Defender Daniel Opare, who picked up a knock during training, should be fit to take part in the full session, as well as Adam Kwarasey.

The return of the Norwegian based goalkeeper means coach Kwesi Appiah would once again be presented with the headache of who to choose as his number one shot stopper.

My Take on the Menaye Donkor & Sulley Muntari Alleged Break Up | Something is Definitely Up

06/12/2014 2:16 am

by Chris-Vincent Agyapong, Founding Editor

When I read on GhanaCelebrities.Com that Menaye Donkor and Sulley Muntari’s marriage has somehow hit the rocks, I was a bit shocked and had to read the story twice….

Initially, I did not really buy into it, giving the rumour less than 20% credibility but after few days of developments and having just read Menaye Donkor’s manager’s attempt to answer some of the questions relating to the break-up, I think I am 90% sure that, the relationship is broken down but Menaye Donkor is trying all that is possible to keep things away from the public eye.

We say there is no smoke without fire…right? The initial article together with the comments I read on GhanaCelebrities.Com had it that, even because of the break-up, Menaye Donkor was not invited to Sulley Muntari’s mother’s birthday party over the weekend when Menaye was right out here in Accra.

If it had emerged that Sulley Muntari’s mother did not have any birthday party and even if she did, Menaye was there, then I would have said the rumour is pretty unfounded. However, it happened that, the rumour was spot on. The rumour was right on this.

Menaye’s manager stated that, Sulley’s mother had a birthday party and Menaye Donkor did not attend because she was busy.
