Wrapping Up On The Black Stars: Black Stars Under Performed…, Asamoah Gyan Was Selfish + President Mills Announces Juicy Prize Package For Stars

blank

When I posted a write up asking which of the “Black Star Players Sucks The Most” based on our kick out by Uruguay, I got various lashes from readers on the grounds that I am being ungrateful.  Sometimes, it is disheartening and pathetic to see some Ghanaians celebrating mediocrity as I do not find anything extraordinary with the performance of the black stars, especially against Uruguay, a match which we could and should have won.

However, It is refreshing to know that, I am not the only Ghanaian with this feeling and mindset, Ghanaian social commentator and prominent Journalist, Mr Kwesi Pratt Jnr is on the same wavelength with me.  Listen to the audio below as Mr Pratt pours out the truth which most Ghanaians are failing to see….

For those of  you who think otherwise,  your champions have been given what they deserved by President Mills, read below for more info..

Revele Films is a production company based in Ghana. They specialize in film production and television programmes and are behind the two hit mini series ‘Home Sweet Home’ and ‘Hotel St. James’.Those two series were the toast of Ghanaian TV when it was broadcasted on our screens.

It has a number of lessons and topical issues which were addressed under the directorship of Emmanuel Appea Jnr.

The production house known for its knack for quality, tried their hands on producing movies as well. They produced ‘Fire to Fire’, which featured local comedian Agya Koo. The movie earned them the tag ‘too known’. A name they acquired from their competitors when actually they were not competing with anybody according to John Apea.

He said “I don’t care about your car; I want to buy an aeroplane. We are not competing with you; we are competing with outside”. Also to come from the stables of Revele was ‘Agyapadie’.

Yvonne Okoro In ‘The Game’: Win Or Lose….

blank

When someone does something extraordinary for the first time, people think it’s a fluke. Yes doubt is created in their minds until the person comes back to build upon the first performance.

In this new movie ‘The Game’, Yvonne Okoro played a role of Brandy Osei, a desperate talkative who falls in love with a man, Ronny Lawson (John Dumelo) she’s not set her eyes on.

Answering question on why she accepted to play such a role, Yvonne told GhanaCelebrities.com “I think the script was different. Most of the movies I have done, I think am always a house wife or some other roles even though they were leading roles”.

“So I thought, me being young and the person I am, I talk a lot so I said okay let me accept this and because of the director and the other cast”.

Age & Marriage, Should Society Be A Determining Factor?

blank

Have you noticed that when you reach a certain age the clock in your head starts to give hints about marriage? Is this clock biological or sometimes is it also society (like your family or friends) that ticks in your head?  If anybody had told me marriage is about age when growing up, then I think I would have waited a little bit before hitting 20 and above. Unfortunately this is not how this commitment appears to function. I am not the type that is scared of ageing.

I don’t know about any of you, but I think ageing makes one wiser and confident. The song says ‘all you need is love’, and I couldn’t agree more. Some people probably started making wedding plans before hitting 20. For instance thoughts of what their wedding is going to be like, where and what age they ‘must’ settle down. I have come across many people who always relate marriage to age and got me thinking…what is this about? Who makes these rules anyway?

What happened to ‘I am in love and want to spend the rest of my life with the one I want to be the mother or father of my children. Instead of ‘I need to settle down because I am ageing’?

I try to stay away from such people to avoid the pressure of settling down because of age or for comfort. Marriage as I have understood is a union between two individuals depending on the culture. Perhaps I should get a reality check but I am sure some will agree with me that marriage and having a family is about taking a responsibility for another individual. It seems like some of us do forget this and rush into marriage for the reason of ageing. There is absolutely nothing wrong in getting married in my point of view. I still endure in the age of romance and would settle for the sake of passion, understanding and caring.

‘Kε Vim’ has been used on the build-up to the first anniversary of the Zain Waakye Party. The anniversary version was held last Sunday, the 4th of July 2009 at the Aviation Social Centre.

The party moved from the usual venue at Auntie Muni inside Labone to a spacious venue where the event recorded large numbers of facebookers (call them facebook ‘gbee’. Gbee is used to describe addicts of something in the local parlance) gathered to celebrate the 1st anniversary of the Facebook Waakye Party.

The party began at 10:00am but yours truly got there at 1:00pm. Soon every available space at the parking lot had been occupied with vehicles, while hundreds of people ready to party made their way to the forecourt of the venue.
