PHOTOS + Angry Ghanaians Join ‘Wↄn Gbo’ Demonstration in Accra to Protest Against Ghanaian Government

Demostration in Ghana
Demostration in Ghana

It looks like Ghanaians are indeed tired of how the incumbent government is steering the affairs of the country. Over the last few years, several Ghanaians have been on the many social media platforms complaining about the harsh conditions they are going through in the country.

The government has been adamant to the many social media complaints and as such, Ghanaians took to the streets today (February 18, 2014) to demonstrate against the government.

The demonstration, dubbed the ‘Wn Gbo’ (translated as WE’RE DYING) Demonstration, was originally organised by the opposition New Patriotic Party.

According to the  few people that GhanaCelebrities.Com spoke to, they joined the demonstration not because of their political affiliation with the party but because of the hardship they are encountering in the country.

“This is too much. The president should be sued for deceiving Ghanaians. Mahama is the worst president Ghana has had. I get only 8 hours of light for a whole week. Why? All businesses are collapsing. We can’t stand this anymore. I voted for NDC in the last election but I’m not willing to vote for that party again”, one of the demonstrators told GhanaCelebrities.Com.

Renowned Ghanaian TV personality-Gifty Anti, 45, has stated that even at her age she is not in a hurry to marry—despite having met the right man.

This may come as a shock to many Ghanaian women—considering the fact that, marriage continues to hold a high position as a source of a woman’s dignity in our society.

Gifty Anti is reported to have told Graphic Showbiz that, “I don’t hate men and I’m not against marriage. Besides, it is not the woman who decides but the man. The woman can only drop hints but the final decision depends on the man and what he wants. I think I will marry when my man is ready but if not, I don’t think I’m so desperate for it”.

She also talked about how family has been pressuring her to get married—forgetting that God’s time is the best.

The General Secretary of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC)-Mr Johnson Asiedu Nketia who made headlines for wearing a fur coat which looks like that of a woman as part of President Mahama’s entourage to Germany has spoken—saying, Ghanaians are those making a big deal about his coat since no white person even spoke about his ‘beautiful’ coat.

According to Asiedu Nketia, the fur coat which has become the talk of Ghana was bought by his wife-Vida Asiedu Nketia when she visited Canada. Going to Germany, he knew it was going to be cold and since he was just going to be there for 3 days, he decided to go with that coat, he said.

Speaking to Kumasi based Hello FM, Asiedu Nketia wondered what the big deal is; since he was in Germany to work for the betterment of Ghana and to attend a fashion show or to showcase his sense of style.

Juliet Ibrahim is looking Hot—we think the right word is ‘Hotter’ and yet she seems to suggest that she is still single. The men should give her that chase and if not for anything at all, for the her increasing beauty.

It’s been a long time she we spotted Emelia Brobbey and today, we have a shot of her for the fans—and she is not looking bad at all.

For Christabel Ekeh, she must be making a hair dealer really rich with her long weaves which she loves to touch when taking shots…

Daily 2015 AFCON Round-Up: Favourites Cameroon And Cote D’Ivoire Held in Group D Stalemates

Cote d’Ivoire and Cameroon
Cote d’Ivoire and Cameroon

The final day of first round games came to an end in the African Cup of Nations today as the favourites in Group D found themselves both on the wrong end of 1-1 draws.

The Black Stars had been humbled 2-1 by Senegal, whilst in the other Group C game Algeria beat South Africa 3-1; but for the rest of the continent the tournament continued unabated.

Cote d’Ivoire and Cameroon had both been set up as early favourites for qualification from Group D, but minnows Guinea and Mali both had other ideas. In the end, both giants had to fight from a goal down to secure disappointing 1-1 draws.

This tournament has had an unhealthy attachment to 1-1 draws, and Group D’s first game never looked like going that route. Both sides started brightly, the Ivoirians with their incredible array of talents including Manchester City’s Yaya Toure, new teammate Wilfried Bony, and A.S Roma’s Gervinho controlling play.

New Music: ‘Ginger’ By Eazzy Feat. S.K Original | Yemi Alade’s Hit Song-Johnny Riff Off…

Eazzy has released her latest single-Ginger, which is more of a rip-off of Nigeria’s Yemi Alade’s hit song-Johnny.

It’s not a problem when a musician takes inspiration from another—but to jump unto the melody of another because it’s trending is quite pathetic.

If music is about creativity, then our Ghanaian artistes seem to be lacking in that department. We are always playing second to the creative minds else where setting trends.

Listen to the two songs below (take not of the melody)…

Teenager Loses V*rginity to Her Estranged Dad, They Are Engaged & Now Plan to Marry…

OMG
OMG

First of all, is this not incestuous or for the religious people, is this not a big sin?

A teenager in United States who reunited with her estranged father after 10 years is engaged to the father—and they plan to marry soon. In fact, her first sex was with this father…

The teenager who is now 18 and reunited with the father when she was 17 told  New York Magazine‘s Science of Us that “It was so weird and confusing. I was seeing my dad for the first time in forever but it was also like, He’s so good-looking!

I saw him as my dad but then also part of me was like, I’m meeting this guy who I have been talking to over the internet and really connecting with and I find him attractive.”

Families Of Deceased Synagogue Church Collapse Taken On Shopping Spree By T.B Joshua

T.B. Joshua
T.B. Joshua

It’s been a while since anything was heard about the church collapse at the Synagogue Church of All Nations that claimed about 116 lives back in September last year.

Since then a coroner’s inquest has been ongoing to try to determine what exactly happened; an inquest, by the way, that Joshua has been avoiding like crazy. The church has meanwhile been falling all over itself in a pathetic attempt to assign other reasons for the tragedy aside the flagrant disregard for rules and human safety that led to it.

In the latest in a long line of tasteless attempts to smooth things over for himself, the Prophet himself, Temitope Balogun Joshua, has taken the families of some of the deceased who travelled all the way from South Africa to Nigeria on a shopping spree, as well as feted them in exclusive high class hotels.

Transgender Teen Commits Suicide And Leaves Heartbreaking Suicide Note: ‘Fix’ Society, She Said

blank

I know some people would probably scoff at this and not see why anyone should mourn that weird little boy but minorities like transgenders are also people and deserve some sympathy from society at large.

17 year old Leelah (Josh) Alcorn was a transgender living in the United States. She committed suicide over the weekend because she had always felt she had to transition from the boy she was born as into a girl; but her religiously devout parents always shot that down and she felt he would never be happy.

I could attribute Leelah’s sad end to religious extremism but truth be told, such prejudices extend beyond that and irrespective of what you think of people like that the suicide note should touch you and perhaps make you more sympathetic towards the next case like this you hear about.

Leelah walked onto the path of a tractor trailer on Sunday, then hours later her pre-programmed suicide note hit tumblr. It has since gone viral, and rightly so.

I always say irrespective of what you think of someone’s choices, if they feel that’s what would make them happy they should be left to go ahead, so long as they’re not breaking any laws.

We are too afraid of people who are different….

Leelah’s suicide note….. quite long, but worth the read

‘Exodus: Gods And Kings’ Banned in Egypt And Morocco

Exodus: Gods and Kings
Exodus: Gods and Kings

This is not quite on the level of the Sony hack but both Morocco and Egypt have banned the screening of ‘Exodus: Gods And Kings’ due to what they term ‘historical inaccuracies’.

The BBC reports the head of Egypt’s censorship board listed these historical inaccuracies as the film depicting the Jews as having built the pyramids, and that an earthquake caused the Red Sea to be parted during the Jews escape from Egypt, and not a miracle from God as the Bible portrays.

I can see why that’s got to sting.

One of the greatest prides of both ancient and modern Egypt is their world renowned pyramids, so Exodus portraying them as being built by the Jews is not something that would sit well with them.

Also, claiming the Red Sea was parted by an earthquake to allow the Jews escape borders on blasphemy, and really belittles the role of God in that whole dramatic escape.

There are reports Morocco also banned the movie, just a day before it was supposed to premiere after it had initially been green lighted to screen.

So The FANATICS Are Still Preaching FreeKwawKese? | Read What Actor Jackie Chan Told His Biological Son When He Was Caught With Weed

kwaw Kese
kwaw Kese

The more I listen or read on those who are still championing the FreeKwawKese campaign, the less sympathy I feel for Kwaw Kese, and the higher I wish the court does not temper justice with mercy – but rather, stretch and apply the full dimension of the law on his case.

Yes, I am a fan of Kwaw. I enjoy his songs and performances, but I won’t allow that to besot me to start insulting the integrity of the judge on the case, water down our judiciary system, and create the impression that the court is unlawfully manhandling Kwaw Kese – as most of those who are championing the FreeKwawKese movement are still doing!

Knowing the possible harm this FreeKwawKese camping could have on the ongoing case, management of Kwaw released a statement in which they appreciated fans of Kwaw for showing support but also, monished those proponents to stop their advocacy.

“We are therefore calling on all parties to desist from making further statements and embarking on campaigns such as FreeKwawKese et al in a bid to support Kwaw Kesse. On the contrary, these activities along with the heightened media coverage only go to worsen the plight of Kwaw” the press release cautioned.

Meanwhile, mother of Kwaw has even come public to state that she has in the past heard that her son engages in weed smoking but can only wish him well in this trial; yet, some zany musicians are still championing the FreeKwawKese campaign as though they love him more than his own mother.

Read what evergreen reggae artist, Black Prophet, recently posted, saying Ghana government and police must: “Freekwawkesse! Locking him up for smoking ganja? Please look for the killer of his manager, Chinese killing villagers for our gold, our oil, rights, passports and school documents has no value in the west, let build more free schools, protect Ghana and Africa from foreign interference, etc for a Better Ghana and Africa. Blessings.”
