The Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts is very disappointed and angry at the organizers of Miss Supranational Ghana – for using the ministry’s name as one of its sponsors of the pageant without any official memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the two parties; GhanaCelebrities.Com has gathered.

GhanaCelebrities.Com reported on Monday, 28th July, 2014, that allegations reaching us have it that Miss Supranational Ghana could be doing something wrong against its contestants – who allegedly live in fear and timidity in a hotel they are housed at Weija for grooming.

Though we gave the organizers the chance to either confirm or deny the allegations reaching us, they declined. Sensing evil against the contestants, GhanaCelebrities.Com exercised our civic responsibility by reporting the case to the police who have assured us that they shall clamp down on the organizers premises – not to harass them or intimidate them, but to seek explanations regarding the allegations against the organizers.

On Wednesday, 4 June 2014, Ghanaweb published a story on the pageant. In the said publication, the organizer of Miss Supranational Ghana indicated a number of its supporters and included in it, was the Ministry of Tourism. Below is an excerpt of the story (unedited):

“Miss Supranational is brought to you by Lilys House Entertainment and supported by the Ministry of Tourism, Ministry of Youth and Sports, Viasat 1 Ghana, Cypress Ghana, 4syte TV, Fotostore, Busy Internet & Sweeties Lounge.

For more enquiries, contact 0244546055 / 0231199525. Miss Supranational… Truly Global, Truly Supranational!!!”

GhanaCelebrities.Com checked from The Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts and our findings were that, Madam Lillian Boateng once visited the ministry and introduced her pageant to them but they did not sign any formal memorandum of understanding –giving Madam Lillian Boateng the power and authority to include the ministry’s name in any of the various mass media – websites, blogs, print, television, radio, posters, banners, etc. as a sponsor or supporter of the pageant.

Joselyn Dumas Does Not KNOW About Being a ‘Fashion Ambassador for the Africa Park Show in South Africa’ | Organizers Are in Breach of Her Rights of Publicity

Several African celebrities have in the past faced diatribes from their fans for failing to appear at events which they’ve been advertised as guests—when in fact, these celebrities did not even know or had no appearance contract with organizers of such events.

Ghanaian actress/TV personality-Joselyn Dumas has been advertised through several online publications as a Fashion Ambassador for an upcoming event-Africa Park Show to be held in South Africa, starting 19th September to 21st September, 2014—but GhanaCelebrities.Com has gathered; Joselyn Dumas has not been booked for the above appearance.

Speaking to Joselyn Dumas, she mentioned that the organizers made contact with her team to have her at their event but negotiations seems to have failed or have not been concluded. It is therefore shocking that the organizers have proceeded without her consent or any sort of enforceable agreement to use her name in their advertisement as a Fashion Ambassador for their event.

If nothing at all, Joselyn Dumas is worried about the total disrespect the organizers have accorded her brand and their attempt to gain financially by using her face and name in their advertisements, a clear breach of her Rights of publicity.

What most Event organizers do not recognise in Africa is, they can be sued for using someone else’s name, likeness, or other personal attributes without permission for an exploitative purpose—just like the above.

Alfred Woyome to Pay Back 51.2m Ghc Jugdement Debt | On Orders of the Supreme Court

Businessman Alfred Agbesi Woyome has been ordered by the Supreme Court to refund the Ghc 51.2m that was paid to him by the state, the infamous Judgement Debt saga.

The court, in a unanimous decision, overturned the verdict of the High Court that awarded Woyome those damages due to a contract he had signed with the government which he claimed had been reneged upon.

The court ruled those contracts, upon which the original judgement were made, as invalid and unconstitutional.

It said the contracts upon which he won his case, “was in contravention to Article 181(5) of the 1992 constitution”. The clause in question, requires Parliamentary approvals of such deals before they are declared as constitutional and consequently, legally binding.

The ruling was a result of self-styled citizen vigilante and former Attorney General, Martin Amidu taking the case to court after claiming the damages awarded to Woyome were illegal.

Earlier this year, Mr Amidu had won similar judgements over Isofoton and Waterville, the two companies at the crux of the long running affair.

Woyome had won his judgement in 2010, but the case had always been one filled with irregularities.

Don’t Be FOOLED | 80% of Women Edit Holiday Snaps Before Sharing On Social Media

I have a friend who will never accept anything he sees in a photo, especially when it has to do with women—unless he actually sees the woman himself.

His argument is, he has been fooled many times by photos women have sent to him—and as such, unless he can do a real life assessment of the situation, he will never buy into whatever is on the table.

And I think my friend has a good point as it has emerged that, 8 out of 10 women ‘edit’ their holiday photos before uploading them to social media so only their slimmest angles are shared.

According to the same research, more than half of women (58 per cent) will remove pictures taken by their husbands or boyfriends to make sure only the most flattering pictures survive.

GhanaCelebrities.Com reported earlier that allegations reaching us show another beauty pageant by name Miss Supranational Ghana could be doing something wrong to its contestants – who live in fear and timidity in a hotel they are housed at Weija for grooming.

To have a fair and balanced story, GhanaCelebrities.Com gave the organizers a chance to address the allegations but they failed to make good use of it. Instead, they insisted we disclose our source and how we got their numbers else they won’t respond.

Though we kindly gave the CEO of the company that organizes the pageant – Lilys House Entertainment, Madam Lillian Boateng, the chance to respond, she only traded tantrums on GhanaCelebrities.Com’s reporter. She failed to either confirm or deny the allegations.

In our professional quest to still have the side of the organizers for publication, GhanaCelebrities.Com visited the office of the organizers on Sunday, 27th July, 2014, but the reporter was nearly lynched.

UPDATE ON THE STORY

Since the allegations against the organizers are wild and borders on human right violations, GhanaCelebrities.Com exercised our civic responsibility by reporting the case to the police who have assured us that they shall clamp down on the organizers premises – not to harass them or intimidate them, but to seek explanations regarding the allegations against the organizers.

The police added that, if at the end of the day it becomes expedient for them to cause arrest, or seek a court injunction to stop the organizers from going on with the pageant, they shall do so.
