Young Abraham Attah has been globe-trotting the past few weeks, notching up awards and running in top circles; but it seems for some that is not enough.
Attah presented an award during Sunday night’s Academy Awards in Los Angeles, and had some words to say on the night.
Oh, another Christian caught not practicing what they preach? Colour me surprised.
And a Catholic priests to boot? It seems like they solely exist to be busted in scandals; and the church would go to all lengths to defend their own, making more mockery of the lofty ideals their initial infraction had disgraced.
Since I became interested in Ghana’s Movie Industry, every single actor has said his or her dream is to make it to Hollywood—that’s just Hollywood.
From Yvonne Okoro via Jackie Appiah, Yvonne Nelson, John Dumelo, Majid Michel to whoever you can think of, Hollywood remains a grand aspiration.
And that’s just Hollywood they want to go—not even to get the unique opportunity to attend the Academy Awards, let alone presenter an award or hangout with the biggest stars of our time.
Abraham Attah, a 15 year old street vendor from Ashaiman has made it to Hollywood and within just a year has won some of the biggest industry awards—as well as made it to the Oscars to present an award.
The young Ghanaian keeps soaring and soaring after his impressive cinematic debut that has earned him worldwide recognition.
And getting the chance to present an Oscar at last night’s ceremony provided another high point for the youngster, even if the Academy had snubbed his performance for a nomination.
When the religious have unlimited power, the results are never pretty- the inquisition and current global caliphates have made that pretty clear.
So now that the rest of society is dragging them along towards enlightenment, they’re gradually trying to follow, except they still want to exert some influence over matters outside their purview.
There doesn’t really seem to be a religious motive attached to this atrocity, even though she was shouting some of that religious terrorist rhetoric. It looks more like police are dealing with someone who’s a basket case.
A woman in Moscow was arrested after police spotted her with a decapitated child’s head, whilst threatening to blow herself up.
Today is the 29th of February, the rarest date in the Universe. It occurs just once every four years.
A lot of people do not know why we need to give February an extra date every four years. And for those who know, some do not even understand why.
Sarkodie made history over the weekend when he got the phenomenal opportunity to address students at Harvard Business school in the US.
The rapper interacted with the students on the campus of the historic University; talking about the challenges he encountered growing up as an African musician and how he overcame that.
The Bureau of National Investigations has arrested a man who apparently ‘threatened’ that the President would fall down during this year’s Independence Day parade.
The man was arrested by police at a drinking bar in Dzorwulu where he passed the comments, and later handed him over to the National security.
Former WWE diva Barbara Blank, who performed under the ring name ‘Kelly Kelly’; has joined the ranks of the married- after she tied the knot with her boyfriend over the weekend.
Sheldon Souray and Blank carried out their nuptials in an exotic ceremony in Mexico on Saturday.
Christianity and Islam have had millennia to force their ideas on people through the sword, and that has led to both being the world’s largest religions now- but the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM) is going to win our battle in the realm of ideas.
And the fruits of a growing movement can be seen with its gradual expansion worldwide- including right here in Ghana– and even gaining official recognition in some countries.

Chris-Vincent Agyapong Febiri, Editor of GhanaCelebrities.Com and BrutallyUncensored.Com has called Mensa Otabil’s sermon delivered yesterday which has received praises from several Ghanaian social media users BOLLOCKS—saying, it’s sad that most people cannot see beyond the smoke screen being presented by the man of God.
In a facebook post, Chris-Vincent wrote;
“So Mensa Otabil says the only or perhaps the main reason Mark Zuckerberg is richer than every Ghanaian and total Ghana is not because of a brain superiority but it’s solely because of environment.
JOY FM reports that; “Otabil feels angry and insulted by the development because Zuckerberg, he reckoned, is not any more intelligent than the thousands of computer programmers in Ghana but the American has a better environment; a country of opportunities.
“What is the difference between Zuckerberg and you; Steve Jobs and you? Otabil asked rhetorically. “It is not brains, it is the environment,” he answered sullenly.”
On two counts; Otabil is once again talking bollocks but as usual, most people will not think beyond the ridiculous praises.
Of course Zuckerberg has a brain superiority than ‘most Ghanaian computer programmers’ and this is evident in the fact that he thought of something most people, including, Americans did not even consider. And he worked hard in making it happen.
On an ordinary day, the grey T-shirt wearing dude will rock it with the smartest brains of our time.
Secondly, if it is purely because of environment, then my cousin-Tracy born in the same ‘hood’ as Zuckerberg should also have been equally rich.
The environment premise and the rich conclusion fall flat on its face considering the fact that several other millions of people were born in America and yet are NOT as rich as Zuckerberg.
I believe that even if Mark Zuckerberg was born in Ghana, he would have become who he is today if his brains remained the same—perhaps, it would have been a little difficult but not totally impossible.
