Ghanaian Radio and TV Entertainment Shows: When Critics Turn Defenders | Don’t Tell Me Conscience Has Not Been Cheaply Sold

Ghana Newspaper
Ghana Newspapers

 

My recent article titled ‘GHANA: Awarding Mediocrity & Calling It Excellence is the REASON Why We Are Where We Are Today…’ knocked so many Ghanaian Entertainment critics/journalists of their chairs—for the very reason that, most of these critics have sold their conscience to the numerous award organisers for what I called ‘coins.’

Ghandi was not only talking about the ‘valour of conscience’ when he said “there is a higher court than courts of justice and that is the court of conscience. It supercedes all other courts”. He was also pointing out the need to hold one’s conscience intact, untainted by bribes or any manner of purchase—no matter what is being offered.

My article challenged the direction of the many Ghanaian Award schemes—the obvious rewarding of mediocrity instead of excellence. And as usual, I didn’t expect a friendly acceptance or welcome from the many Ghanaian Entertainment critics/journalists who double as board members of these same award schemes I was sending my artilleries their way.

As estimated, I was met with rage on Peace Fm and several other radio stations which have board members as their Entertainment critics, for the simple fact that I tainted where they were earning their money—as if I care.

For instance, on Peace Fm,  Mark Okraku Mantey was extremely furious to the extent that he even failed to properly digest certain paragraphs in my article and since I was not going to give him a free literature lessons, he was allowed to go on with his misfired missile—and once again, all because I criticized one of his banks, just as the others.

VIDEO: T.B Joshua’s Synagogue Church of all Nations’ Claim He Prophesied the Al Shabaab Kenya Attack At Garissa University

Prophet T.B Joshua and his Synagogue Church of all Nations are back with their prophetic glory—which mostly happen after major shocking world events.

A few days ago, Al Shabaab gunmen attacked Garissa University College in North Eastern Kenya, killing about 147 students. The University is near the Somali border.

Following this, T.B Joshua’s Emmanuel TV has released a video of a 2012 preaching in which the prophet is seen saying, children in a school in Kenya would be attacked.

As usual, this is cheap and lame because there is a clear distinction between university and school. Even though some people use the two words interchangeable, if you want us to take you serious, be specific. Also, the attack was on university students mostly who are young adults—and not children.

But the credulous T.B Joshua followers cannot even see this.

Anyway, watch the video below…

WTF: New ISIS Laws Would See Citizens Jailed For Trivial Reasons Such As Wearing Skinny Jeans And Having Music On your Phone

ISIS
ISIS

In the grand scale of atrocities ISIS has committed this seems quite trivial, but their continued clampdown on freedom of expression in any form, all while hiding behind religious principles really bears close scrutiny.

ISIS has gained worldwide notoriety since their inception, and has attained strengths far outstripping any seen by a terrorist organisation. In control of large parts of Iraq and Syria, they are de-facto rulers and implement the harsh Sharia in all their controlled territories.

They’ve implemented new laws, which seem harsher than ever. Under the new laws, according to the IBT UK, anyone caught wearing skinny jeans face a prison sentence of ten days.

Azalea Banks Covers Billboard: She Says She Wants to F**K President Barack Obama

Azalea Banks Covers Billboard
Azalea Banks Covers Billboard

Azalea Banks is one no holds barred hiphop artiste you really, do not want to mess with. In her budding career, she has thrown shots at virtually everyone else. Tell me Iggy Azalea, Kendrick Lamar, and Eminem is not an all star list of people you could feud with.

Unbridled and brash, the 24 year old MC often has interesting comments to give when she speaks, be it on any issue. In a cover shoot for Billboard magazine, she revealed five things about herself, the things she wants most in this life.

One statement in particular, has gotten everyone talking. When asked about the US President Barack Obama, Azalea had a rather unconventional objective concerning the United States first Black President.

VIDEOS: About 3 Year Old Girl Insults President Mahama ‘Potoor’ + Another Says He Is Just the Caretaker of the Northerners | My Take on the Increasing Insults

Mahama Insults
Mahama Insults

President John Mahama has disappointed many Ghanaians and it’s proportionate that Ghanaians are angry—and also worried about their future. But the many insults which has become part of Africa politics is unacceptable.

In 2012, I wrote an article titled ‘I Love Politics But I Hate The Accompanying Anti-Intellectual Culture In Ghana’ and these two videos below of kids insulting or calling the president names capture the sort of political culture we have—which we are passing on to the young ones.

Of course these kids in the video have been taught to say this or have heard the adults around them say it—else, how did they come up with that?

I have written countless articles expressing my dissastisfaction with the way the Mahama-led-NDC government is handling Ghana, especially the unbearable ‘Dumsor Dumsor’ that Ghanaians are facing. I have in some of these articles called for mass protest or boycott by Ghanaians to register their unhappiness and struggles—all these are political tools which can be used to achieve results.

Lil Wayne Not Backing Down In Birdman Feud: Says F*ck Cash Money After Performing

Lil Wayne

There hasn’t been a moment of peace in the Young Money-Cash Money empire for some time now.

Lil Wayne and Birdman hitherto had one of the top mentor-mentee relationships in the music biz;  until trouble struck over delays in releasing Weezy’s latest album.

The Carter V has been in the pipeline for a while now,  but it’s release has been hit by several delays that Lil  Wayne believes is deliberate.

The situation has gotten so bad,  Lil Wayne had to bring legal action against his boss.  In the suit,  he’s seeking $8million, which is supposed to be an advance he should have received on the Carter V. He also wants to be released from his contractual obligations to Cash Money, claiming by failing to release his new work Birdman has violated their contract.

Since then,  there’s been some hope this could be resolved amicably- apparently not.  After Performing at a club in Jacksonville during the week,  Weezy gave a pretty emphatic indication of where things stand.  In a video uploaded by an Instagram user,  Weezy all but confirmed his animosity towards his former mentor.

“ Free Weezy Album coming soon; Carter V coming soon.

F*ck Cash Money” He concluded,  then he exited with one of his famous mic-drops.

Guess we all know there’s no end in sight for this thing.  Since he’s still under contract with Cash Money,  that pretty much shows he expects a legal resolution to this dispute and not any amicable settlement.
