Hypnotic Thieves Or Brain-Dead Victims? | Tricksters Hitting It Big In Accra Because We Consciously Decide Not To Apply Our Brains

Thieves
Thieves

This is something that has been going on for a long time, and personally I have listened to some of the victims narrating their ordeal. It certainly is not a pleasant experience, but an avoidable one? I believe so.

As we usually do when we feel the need to escape responsibility, some people have claimed these thieves operate via hypnosis. They are believed to weave this spell of hypnosis around their victims, which in turn leads them to follow every suggestion these tricksters make to them.

People have lost numerous valuables to these people, mostly cash, laptops, mobile phones, and even more cash.

Two ladies I know personally, both who were in my class back in school- one of whom is actually my significant other, suffered this fate. One carted her entire year’s fees off to these guys; the other lost some cash, and valuables including her ATM card which she willingly gave off plus the code.

The process is actually quite simple, and varies based on the individuals involved. One plays on your religious inclination, putting you in fear with some dreaded prophecies which you then need to forestall; the other playing on your greed with some ridiculous promises of quick cash which any right thinking person would smell as fraudulent from a mile off.

Celebrities’ Academic Excellence/Failure Matters And So We Will Always Consider Them…

Yes, what is news is indeed relative – what you consider as news may not be deemed as such by another! So therefore, if a media house or journalist reports on something you feel is not news worthy to you, you don’t condemn the media house or journalist. It’s a matter of choice – read it or not, period!

Last year, a journalist reported on how dancehall artist, Kaakie, failed some of her end of final year semester papers at the University of Ghana. Around that same time, GhanaCelebrities.Com reported on actress cum presenter at GHOne and Starr FM-Naa Ashorkor Doku, who, according that reached the site, also failed some of her modules at the Ghana School of Law.

According to some school of thought, those reportage were tenuous and tittle-tattling – because, the academic or educational life of our celebrities should be treated as part of their private life and for that matter, should not be reported on – that is goosey remarks by all standard!

In the case of Naa Ashorkor, Razz Newspaper followed up on her for confirmation or otherwise but she failed to respond to the story. On Kaakie, Samuel Baah of AM PLUZZ on PLUZZ FM, had the privilege of hosting her on his morning program and instead of asking her about that reportage, compromised!

“I’m not interested in asking her anything about that report. I won’t! Those who did that report how many of them if you ask them to present their school reports or certificates to you will do so?” were the excuse Sammy gave for not inquiring from Kaakie whether she failed her modules or not, or the report was false or true.

Well, I was disappointed in Sammy because he did not ask or probe Kaakie about the story to even hear whether she will ask to be excused on that story or not – rather, he jumped to her defense by condemning the act of reporting on celebrities academic pursuits.

The media has always reported on the academic pursuits of our celebrities – so what has changed now? Let me give you few examples: Actress Nadia Buari graduated from University of Ghana – School of Performing Arts, with a First Class Honour, BFT in Fine Arts – the media reported it!

Lies, Debt & Insecurity: African Entertainers’ Desire to Live the Hollywood Lifestyle Without the Hollywood Cash | D’Banj is Reportedly BROKE…

Our African entertainers love to live large and they deserve that lifestyle because most of them really work hard—but at the same time, they seem to forget about the adage ‘ cut your coat according to your size’. And I am not talking about Asiedu Nketia’s female coat

Most of our Ghanaian Celebrities are driving around in expensive cars on credit while living at home with their parents under shocking conditions. For most of such people, instagram and facebook have become their world, showing off their unworthy wealth of watches, cars and phones—while their close family live in abject poverty…

This disease does not live just within the boarders of Ghana,  our Nigerian brothers and sisters are doing the same—throwing out large receipts for things which do not make up any investment package and it seems this lifestyle is catching up with even the ‘big boys’.

It looks like our understanding of investment in Africa is different and as such, ordinary cars, throwing parties and travelling around the world for nothing have made it into the investment books of our celebrities.

Look around you and ask yourself this; what real investments do most of our celebrities parading their wealth on social media have? At least, we know of the numerous investments of Jay-Z, Beyonce, Diddy, Dr. Dre and the others…
