Chorkor Trotro

He calls himself ‘Funny Face’ but when you meet him, the man actually has a serious face, not funny at all. Geez! He is one of the few people you will see and burst out laughing out loud.

Funny Face currently plays Chemu, a funny trotro mate in a comedy TV drama Chorkor Trotro. A mention of his name attracts the phrase “I Got Ma Swag On”.

He was the only Ghanaian comedian on show A Night of 1010 Laughs and Music at the Conference Centre some few weeks ago. After doing well in his maiden edition of the show, he came back to say that now the ladies are calling him ‘sexy’.

blank

Our common history as people would not be complete without delving into to the fashion of yesteryear. Which is why with your help, we can develop a top ten necessities in past decades. Please enjoy and feel free to add to this research dubbed “all things Ghanaian”.

Starting with the 1990’s: The Akosua Agyapong Hairstyle, picture a roller set head of hair being brushed up top and curled back down in a mushroom design.

Fathiya Fata (compliments) Nkrumah Kente clothe, its colours resemble the love of the people for their First Lady Fathiya Nkrumah and the shine of the clothe recognizes the rich love between her and His Excellency Dr. Kwame Nkrumah.

I have not been able to pinpoint who created this rich clothe, though it was known to be shrouded in a bit of controversy-after the coup-, according to a Kente saleswoman I met in Bonwire it remains one of the best selling Kente series.
