Impressive Entries Collected For 2012 VGMA’S

blank
THE 13th edition of the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards Festival has recorded an impressive turnout of entries for consideration into the 29 coveted award categories of the Scheme.
More than 350 individual songs and nearly 200 artistes have been submitted since the information on the call for entries was made public in early January. Many more entries are expected in as the process is yet to officially end.
The VGMA Board during their second sitting on Thursday January 26, 2012 began the arduous task of cataloging the over 350 song entries into their respective categories.
The dedicated Board team has their work cut out for them during this stage of the scheme. It is their responsibility to painstakingly place all the entries into categories for short listing – a task made more grueling by the fact that Members have to literally listen and debate on the appropriate category for each song presented.
The impressive turnout this year is a good sign that the music industry did not do too badly in the year under review (December 1, 2010 – December 31st 2011).
The VGMA aims above all, to recognise the hard work and dedication of the music industry practitioners. It must be said at this point that the industry deserve a pat on the back for work done in keeping Ghana and the world dancing with their releases in all genres of music.
A cursory look at the work done so far in the categorization process reveals that there will be an interesting race for the Hiplife Song of the Year category. The category has received a tremendous boost with the advent of the “Azonto movement” with its accompanying dance rhythm. The competition here will certainly be worth one’s while.

blank

People in the showbiz industry are considered as not too serious. When professionals in the entertainment industry try to veer off to politics, they are mocked because politics is believe to be for ‘serious’ people.
It is good to know that at least some Ghanaian voters are wise and of age when it comes to voting for people to represent them in Ghana’s parliament.
Now known as Benita Okity-Duah, she also defeated Nii Sowah Boye Sekan, the junior brother of the late Nii Adjei Boye-Sekan, the first MP in the Fourth Republic in the Ledzokuku Constituency.
The Ledzokuku Constituency has been one of the swing constituencies in the Greater Accra Region. The NDC won and maintain the seat with the Late Nii Adjei Boye-Sekan in 1992 and 1996. The NPP also won the seat in the 2000 Parliamentary Elections with Mr. Edward Akita and managed to keep it in 2004 with Dr. Gladys Norley Ashitey. The current MP, Nii Nortey Dua regained the seat for the NDC in 2008.

Motivational Message Of The Week: Nothing Great Was Ever Achieved Without Enthusiasm

blank
How far someone can go with any project determines how much he/she can achieve. If how far you can go depends on ‘enthusiasm’, then how much or what you can achieve is also dependent on ‘enthusiasm’.
The above may sound complicated or silly, but it is a fact. Nothing great in this world has been achieved without enthusiasm. In order to achieve something great, you must go far with your efforts, run over disappointments and failure. The only way you can do this is to have ‘enthusiasm’ in what you doing.
You can only achieve anything substantial in what you are doing if you have the needed ‘enthusiasm’ to out run the various obstacles that will come your way. Without ‘enthusiasm’, you will never be able to achieve any greatness in what you are doing.
Greatness is when you find the limits of possibility by going beyond them into the impossibility. Getting to the door of the impossibility is therefore a long rough journey through ‘possibility’; this journey can only be fully taken with enthusiasm. And it is at the end of this journey that ‘Greatness’ dwells.

Praye Tiatia, the shortest member of the Praye group also known as Steven Fiawoo a.k.a. BIG J has turned a new leaf and changed overnight to spend enough quality time with his girlfriend for the fear of losing her to a rich man.
What triggered such a decision?
Many musicians don’t share the idea of revealing who they are dating to the general public. Though the public is aware who some of them are dating, many believe due to the womanizing attitude of some male musicians, it would be unreasonable for any of them to publicly name who he’s dating.

If you know Jeremie, then you will surely have issues with the way she throws out that fake accent. On radio, it even gets worse.
There is a rumour that when America rapper Fabolous came to Ghana and she was interviewing him on YFM, it got dramatic and embarrassing when Fabolous could not hear anything she was saying as a result of her fake accent.

GC Life 101: I Stripped Naked…

blank
I saw the way he looked at me from the bed, half naked. He was clearly ready to devour. He had paid to eat the food he did not know how it was prepared.
Couldn’t he see the look in my eyes?
Couldn’t he see I was different from the others?
“I am one of the richest men in this city. You have met your luck. Just do me good. You know your pay is what some people work their butts off to earn.” He winked at me
Couldn’t he see…
“Am I going to get serviced for this pay or not?” He gave a piercing look at me.
I nodded and the tears fell alongside. I slowly unzipped the gown and it slid to the floor. I shook where I stood in just the underwear covering the bareness.
I watched him come towards me…he stood behind me and wrapped his hands around my waist.
“What a wonderful body you’ve got.” He whisphered in my ear. I could hear his heavy breathing on my neck, his hands slowly reaching for the hooker of my brazier.
“Please…” I held his hands, crying.
“Please what?” He turned me around to face him.
He noticed the tears for the first time.
“Is this your first time?” He held my shoulders.
I burst into tears.
“Don’t worry…I would be a gentle guy”
It was so painful, so disgusting.
Approaching the room I and my sister managed in an uncompleted building the next morning…
“Sister!” Andrea, my younger sister ran into my arms.
“Sister where have you been! I thought you left me alone!…I thought you left me to suffer just like mama and papa” she vibrated with tears in my arms.

Motivational Message Of The Week: Why I Admire And Commend Lottery Players

blank
Probably staking lottery is not an option for you because of your moral and religious standing. However, I believe the inspiration and lessons that can be learnt from the various persistent lottery ‘stakers’ is worthy of consideration by even people of faith.
If we really desire to be successful in life, then the hearts, addictions and beliefs of the unswerving lottery players must be borrowed and permanently retained.
There are thousands of people out there who for many years have played the lottery consistently despite not ever winning the jackpot. The chance of winning a jackpot is highly infinitesimal and these players are very well aware of that.
Despite the fact that they are well informed of the little chance they have to make any substantial winning, they consistently give away money (play the lottery) each week or day.
