FIPAG Is Still ‘Attacking’ Foreigners – They Stopped Another Foreign Crew From Shooting An Advert in Ghana

Fipag

The film producers association of Ghana-FIPAG seems not to have resolved to leave foreign production companies that come to Ghana to shoot movies or documentaries alone – despite harsh criticisms from some art critics.

Leadership of FIPAG launched an all out directive for non-Ghanaians who make films in the country without having a work permit – a permit from the Ghana Actors Guild and a permit from FIPAG. The campaign, according to the Public Relations Officer for FIPAG, Michael Kwaku Ola, was meant to protect the Ghanaian movie producers and the industry as a whole and not scare off foreigners.

“People have in the past sneaked in and out of the country to shoot movies and documentaries among others without any work permit or permission from FIPAG. Well guess what, things have changed now. FIPAG, together with the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) will make sure that the right thing is done,” Michael Kwaku Ola told the media some months back.

A movie CD hawker at Opera Square in Accra Central called on GhanaCelebrities.Com to make a report that last week, the FIPAG pounced on some foreign production crew from South Africa who were shooting at Opera Square – bringing business to a halt amidst causing both human and vehicle traffic congestion.

In an interview with the head of the task force team of FIPAG, Mr. Samuel Ampadu, he confirmed to GhanaCelebrities.Com that “it’s true we disrupted a South African production company from shooting at Opera Square after getting notification that they were shooting without permit.

“It was after we stopped them from shooting that they showed us a permit letter from the Ministry of Information.” Per FIPAG’s directive, foreigners who come to Ghana to shoot movies must pay a certain amount of money to the association.

High Profile Couples That Divorced, Separated or Broke Up This Week-In Case You Missed It | Nigeria’s Tiwa Savage & Husband Too?

Tiwa Savage and T Billz

Have we humans gotten to a point where we should stop worrying ourselves with marriage? I am just sick of the separations, breakups and divorces rocking the news daily.

From older Celebrity chefs Pat and Gina Neely to our very own Tiwa Savage from Nigeria who is being reported to having parted ways in work and in relationship with manager/husband-T Billz, marriage seems to be losing the battle to divorce.

Tiwa Savage and T Billz

Though not the first of the week, this one is closer to home and hits harder because they actually have the shortest marriage.

I must say this was the shocker of the week for me. Tiwa Savage and her manager/best friend/ husband rumoured separating was not a good thing to find out. As the Nigerian media widely reported, Tiwa Savage first sacked her husband as her manager and appointed someone else on claims of financial mismanagement.

Their marriage proceeded to crack based on the same allegations. The rumour mill is rife with stories that T Billz squandered Tiwa Savage’s hard earned cash after a flamboyant traditional marriage and wedding which she supposedly paid for. During their Dubai marriage, GhanaCelebrities.Com asked the question; who was paying for the expensive wedding, considering the fact that Tee Billz is unemployed, except that he parades himself as his wife’s manager.

To make things worst, he reportedly also beats her up from time to time! Apparently she thought she could deal with it since all these problems were present even while they were dating but things have gotten out of hands since they got married to a point where she has presently walked out on him—after he is said to have cheated. After just five months of marriage!!

Kris Jenner and Bruce Jenner

Kris Jenner and Bruce Jenner

This has been long coming because the Jenners have made it common knowledge that they have been living apart for the past one year. The two have been married over twenty years and Bruce Jenner is the second husband of Kris Jenner after the late Robert Kardashian with whom she had her first three kids. Her reasons are the usual, ‘irreconcilable differences’.

Divorce is nothing new to the Kardashian household and recently both Kim and Khloe got divorced. I guess these rampant divorces make it so hard for Kourtney and Scott to even consider marriage.

Randy Jackson American Idol Judge and Wife of 18 Years

Erika Jackson filed for divorce from Randy citing irreconcilable differences and asking for sole physical custody of their son together. Randy Jackson is yet to respond to her file but it is a surprise to many especially as these two have been married close to 19 years. What suddenly changed? Or has it been bad for more than a while without public knowledge?
