I know some few celebrities who are well vested in this Juju BS. Folks are finding it difficult to accept the existence of God even, and yet some of us pride ourselves in believing in some powerless little gods who live in shrines.
I never knew Castro was a true jujuist ( My word for people who believe in the power of juju)…If it were some of the celebrities I already know as jujuist, I would not have even be amazed but for CASTRO?
Do you know these black charms are very popular in our Entertainment Industry? Various Actresses and Actors, Musicians and Footballers live in shrines-seeking for spiritual protection…Protection from what? From another colleague who will be determined on destroying their career with different form of juju…LOL
If Christopher Hitchens wrote and convincingly said ‘God Is Not Great’ then I guess with my experience, knowledge and understanding of the workings of some of these juju, I can proudly say ‘Juju Is Not Great’ else Atta Ayi would never have been arrested…Get out of these scamming Africa charms because they never bring anything good!
The concept of juju and any form of such power is a totalitarian belief that destroys individual freedom. Do you believe in juju? I will surely like to know how primitive minded some people are…LOL
Read below for the NewsOne Juju Story on Castro
………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
Hip-life artiste Theophilus Tagoe, who goes by the showbiz name Castro, is reported to have gone in for a very potent juju, a spiritual charm, to help advance his music career.
Castro, who won the hearts of music fans the world over with his hit track, ‘African Girls’, in which he featured soccer hero Asamoah Gyan, was reported to have gone for the juju from a powerful female spiritualist at Madina Zongo in Accra.
He was said to have obeyed all the ‘juju rules’ and presented a bottle of good quality foreign schnapps, confectionaries for ‘sadaka’ and a cash amount.

Motivational Message Of The Week: Formal Education Will Not Make You A Fortune…Yes It Will Not!
As much as formal education is important in life and therefore has been entrenched in our quest for knowledge as human beings, it is the least ride that will take you the fortune land.
The above is probably the major reason why despite our desire for success and fortune, so many of us still remain chasers and will continue to be chasers instead of achievers.
It is difficult to break away from the norm but then, it is your distinctiveness and uniqueness which will fetch you success and not your commonness.
As human beings, we are somehow programmed to see formal education as the corner stone to achieving the success we desire and the fortune we so bad want in life.
The irony of this is that, even though when we give our surrounding a close look, we will find that majority of those riding the fortune wheel never got unto the wheel through formal education, we still endure this lousy belief.
It is not that difficult to understand why formal education hardly fetches life success or fortune. Attending the best educational institution with thousands of others, reading the same or similar books, being thought the same or similar things by the same or similar professors create nothing unique in you as an individual. This rather creates commonness…
It is sad to mention that majority of the people I know living on fortune land never got there by the great courtesy of the formal education they received. No, it is by something else, something that made them unique, something limited to them and not that which was taught to masses of people.

My Sincere Thoughts On Fashion 101 On TV3, Get Your Coordination & Fundamentals Right…
Ripping off a TV show which is successful elsewhere in the world happens a lot in Ghana. In fact, it happens even in developed countries like UK. However, when it comes to Ghana, we even get copying wrong. If we cannot be master architects, does it mean we cannot also be good photocopiers?
I have had the time to watch the new much talked about fashion show-Fashion101 which airs on Tv3 on Saturdays @ 8:30am and to be frank, I am not impressed with how poorly the show pays attention to crucial ‘comparison’ tenets.
To compare anything in this world, the fundamental principle is to compare LIKE to LIKE. This does not mean you cannot compare two distinctive attires, what it means is that, you have to get the fountain-head right…
By the above, I mean, the showing is getting things totally wrong by comparing various outfits of celebrities’ when these celebrities attended separate unrelated occasions/events.
I say ‘comparing’ because after groundlessly (I will come back to why I say groundless) chastising the fashion sense of the celebrities they randomly pick, they choose who’s the best and worst of the day…
How on earth can you compare a celebrity dressed for a movie premiere to one who was dressed for her neighbourhood random stroll? It is a comparison because at the end of it all, you choose one as the best and another as the worst.
To get comparison right, certain factors must be equivalent and in this sense, the occasion/event must be the same or closely related.
On the show last week, the fashion sense of Efya was considered by comparing a picture of her with photos of people like Jackie Appiah (at a movie premiere). This is fundamentally wrong, Efya was at a birthday party in Kumasi and as such you cannot on any term compare her outfit to what others wore for a movie premiere and then proceed to judge one as worst and the other as best. This is suicidal!
I am not in any way suggesting that one cannot talk about the fashion sense of people at different events concurrently, but all I am saying is, you have to stop the ‘best of the day’ and the ‘worst of the day’ if you are not comparing these people under the same shelter. How do you justify comparing what I wore to a funeral and what he wore to a party and then proceed to choose the best?
The Licentious Raquel, The Ghanaian Artiste Who Forgot Her Panties Home & Showed Off Her Iniquitous ‘Coochie’ On Stage…My Thoughts!
I have heard and seen several entertainers putting their ‘coochies’ on full display whiles on stage or out and about for wearing panties which do not have enough fabric to cover their ‘chunky’ genitalia.
However, to absolutely wear nothing under a skimpy dress in our part of the world as a female entertainer and mount the stage in this skimpy dress with the excuse that you genuinely forgot your panties at home is implausible. Did I just say it is implausible? In fact, it is plain psychosis and utterly disrespect for your worthy as a woman.
The above is the summary of what happened with Ghanaian rising musician-Raquel at Citi Fm’s December 2 Remember Concert. In simple words, Raquel jumped on stage to perform in a skimpy dress which she claimed had a mal-function backstage. And beneath this skimpy dress, she had no panties…
Various media men I know have confirmed seeing photos of Raquel’s genitalia on full display and NewsOne-an entertainment tabloid in Ghana claims to have clear shots which they intended to publish.
NewsOne has not been able to publish these photos despite their earlier publication which suggested a date- 6th January. NewsOne claims reputable persons like Ambassador Kabral Blay-Amihere, Musicians Union of Ghana President Bice ‘Obour’ Osei-Kufuor, Former National Women’s Organizer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Daavi Ama, Chairman of the National Media Commission, Rev. Opambour Adarkwa Yiadom of the Ebenezer Miracle Worship Center and others have bombarded them with calls not to publish the photos for various moral standings and for the sake of the dignitary of Raquel.
I am somehow bemused that morality and dignitary is being bought and lobbied for Raqual, a woman who seems to have lost absolute track of her status as an African woman and for that matter a Ghanaian woman.
I do not have a single bit of compassion for her and this is simply because, her actions were premeditated. Raquel is reported to claim that her dress was not made as skimpy as we see it but rather it tore (wardrobe mal-function) at backstage before she came to perform. Her account continues that, her team had to somehow fix the wardrobe mal-function by performing emergency stitches.
Is It Me Or Martha Akomah Is Talking Absolute Rubbish?
I did not want to pick up on this but then if not said, the disrespectful and loose rate at which some of our Ghanaian celebrities talk during interviews will forever continue… Though a champion of free speech and freedom of expression, I still think accentuating some absurd disparity between classes of human beings … Read more

Eazzy Drops Richie As Manager & Will Leave Lynx Entertainment Soon!
As I mentioned few weeks ago in my post that Eazzy’s talented is being wasted by her association with Lynx Entertainment for their inadequate push and vigorous support for her work, It seems someone who loves Eazzy read me and the exit door has finally opened for her to leave the struggling label…
Lynx Entertainment was held up tight by folks like Asem and O. J Blaq. When these two entertainers departed, the mantle to keep the label relevant was somehow placed on the young female rapper-Eazzy…
Instead of Lynx Entertainment focusing on Eazzy and the few signed artistes, they seem to be rather spending energy and time signing on more and more artistes…What happened to quantity paving way for quality?
I am reliably informed by my source from Lynx Entertainment camp that troubled female singer-Eazzy who is not seeing any substantial progress in her career has parted ways with Richie (CEO of Lynx) as her manager…
Though still signed unto Lynx Entertainment label, my source stated that ‘’she will leave soon. She has come to realize that Lynx is not helping her as much as her work deserves. She is a great artiste who needs huge support and direction, something Lynx is lacking’.
