It was reported by the Business Guide Newspaper today that some prominent Ghanaian entrepreneurs residing in UK and USA have teamed up and managed to get hold of McDonald’s franchise to start operation in Ghana.

Spots like Kotoka International Airport, Osu , Accra Mall and Spintex Road  will see the face of McDonalds in 2011.

McDonalds primarily sells french fries, soft drinks, burgers, chicken products, milks shakes (my favourite but I am not fat yet) and deserts.

Over the last few years, various health organizations in western countries where McDonalds is already in massive operation have criticized their food. Obesity is a common thing most attribute to McDonalds.

Some people have tagged McDonalds as cheap food restaurant spreading obesity and various health problems.

They are coming to our dearest Ghana. My left eye sees development, employment and cheap food on our streets. My right eye is digging deep into obesity, various health issues and

The next time you hear a Rockstone name, it might not be the Grandpapa of Hip life nor have anything to do with music. Keita Osei is a new entry into mainstream showbiz coming from a background of renowned showbiz personalities.

Keita is son to ace fashion designer and hip life pioneer, the late Ricci Osei and brother to the god father of hip life Reggie Rockstone.

The new kid on the block seems to follow in the footsteps of his father and drift off music in the time being, as he delves into the industry as a model, to the amusement of many who thought that any addition to the industry from the Osei family would be a musician.

What Will Definitely Kill The Ghanaian Movie Industry Is The Concept Of “Follow Follow”, The Industry Lacks Creativity & Uniqueness

I rant a lot about the Ghanaian movie industry and I am indubitably aware of this. It is mind sickening to witness a flamboyant industry trenching down without any robust efforts by most of the industry players to rejuvenate it.

Certainly, some of us have an entrenched “Hope” for the industry to come out of its poignant lack of creative mannerism, the sole killer of a young but vibrant movie industry, the very reason why I do not stop ranting.

Over the last few years, I have developed a thick skin to buying or paying for Ghanaian movies, a practice which was brought to me by my repeated disappointments in the various movies I purchased.

It became as if I was throwing my hard earned cash into the bin. I got bored of my “handsome” idea to have a library of African movies; especially those from Ghana since almost every movie I bought seem to have been made by the same director though in reality, they came from their minds.

Maybe all Ghanaian movie story tellers have been eating the same food, hence thinking along the same lines and substance.

Motivational Message Of The Week: The Inverse Relationship Between Success & Smart People

I have said in one of my writings (The Simple Formula To Achieving Success In Life) that achieving success is far from the everyday myth of the majority which stipulates that only smart or intelligent people can be successful in life. Read my write-up on this and you will easily grab the formula to achieving the success you desire.

In fact, the people who are highly to fail in life are smart people. You might have been thinking otherwise for a long time. The notion that success finds or comes to smart people is a typical fallacy of our contemporary society.

Success does not belong to only a category of people, smart people who happen to be in the minority in our societies. It belongs to all, especially the majority.

The reasons why smart people are likely to be trodden by success was echoed by a very successful entrepreneur of our time, Bill Gates.
