Where are the 30 Ghanaian Celebs – John Dumelo, Kalsium Sinare, Mr. Beautiful, Abeiku Santana & Others Who Campaigned for NDC Government?

It is sad some people in showbiz or the creative industry in Ghana, enter into politics and compromise their conscience and principles – thereby disappointing their fans and the nation at large.

Most times, people in Ghana’s showbiz industry don’t care much about political, social, religious, commerce and other non-entertainment issues that become public discourse or of public concern. Nonetheless, the very issues regarding the above mentioned disciplines have either positive or negative impact on every living creature in the country.

For instance, Ghana’s legislators (Parliament) were unanimously about to pass the Bio Safety Act to make room for Genetically Modified Foods popularly known as GM Foods in Ghana and some people in the creative arts industry, advocated against this…

In other jurisdictions, celebrities advocate for social and humanitarian issues – damn the consequence. They don’t limit their involvement in their societies to only showbiz matters. Revered TV presenter, entrepreneur and actress, Oprah Winfrey, endorsed and supported Obama to become President of America.

However, she denounced and renounced herself from Obama – after the latter welcomed the US Supreme Court’s decision to strike down a law that denied the recognition of same-sex marriages. I respected Oprah for that gesture!

In the year 2012 general elections, it was reported that well over 30 Ghanaian celebrities formed a group known as Celebrities For Mahama CFM, campaigned for the current government to maintain power. Some names that became very popular were: John Dumelo, Abeiku Santana, Kalsium Sinare, Mr. Beautiful, etc.

Ghana is now going through tough times and none of these celebrities have gathered courage to censor the government – with that same star-power they campaigned for the government to come into office. What even annoys me is that though it is abundantly clear they campaigned for the ruling government; they still claim they are not part of the ruling government’s party.

If you are not, then the question is: where are you, now that organized labour is TODAY – 24TH JULY, 2014, demonstrating their frustration against the hikes in petroleum prices and high cost of living in the country? Organized labour is dismayed at the rapid fall of the value of the Cedi.

It maintains that, the current pricing formula for fuel punishes consumers and must be reviewed. According to the council, the ex-pump prices of premium and LPG have been increased by 28.08% respectively. These increases are said to have far-reaching effects on prices of a wide-range of goods and services.

Due to the above, Ghana is now hot as hell and as wicked as death! Prices of goods and service increase every blessed day. You buy something today, tomorrow the price increases. Power supply is not stable, the value of our currency keeps falling rapidly, inflation rate is high – the country is simply in a SHIT!

Once again, where are the celebrities who campaigned for this inept, inefficient and ineffective we are experiencing from this government?

If they won’t come out to condemn the bad concoction they made Ghanaians gulp down their throats, they should remain quiet. Hypocrisy will find all of us out someday. Until then…MOYWUM!!

    • This kind of tribal sentiments is what’s killing us. What has Ewe or Ga or Asante have to do with anything? If u have nothing to contribute to the way forward then shut up and don’t add tribalism to our woes!

      • smarten up, smarten up! a whole ”cheap ass celebrity” like john dumelo is supporting ndc (ewe, northerner dominated party). aren’t celebs supposed to be role models to the younger ones in society? wise up, do you think his support for ndc is just mere coincidence? his name says it all and the example he’s setting for the youth is bad. why didn’t he affiliate with any other party like cpp, ppp, etc.. but ndc..? why would a cheap celeb like him come out to show his affiliation with a party? be wise, our leaders and celebs are the ones shoving tribalism down our throats. you want evidence? see what cheap confidence haugen (ewe) had to say about elikem kumordzie and selly elorm galley (both ewe) joining the big brother season 8.

        • What do u mean why didn’t he support any other party but Ndc? Don’t you know every single Ghanaian has a right of choice. If you decide to align urself to a particular party nobody has a right to question u just becos of your tribe. If we want to give examples of members of tribes supporting their fellow members then our list and web links will not end today. The point is, we should not entertain tribalism or make wild assumption becos of it. It’s like the Akyem / Asante division currently happening in NPP or the northerners / ewe in NDC. What good is tht going to do instead of looking for competent ppl to manage the country regardless of their tribe.

          • he shouldn’t engage in politics as a role model in the first place and i expect educated individuals like j dumelo, jackie Appiah, becca to know better and disassociate themselves from politics so as to convey a clear message to the youth about the corruption in our system. shouldn’t celebs like musicians, actors, presenters, etc… be using their fame as a platform to convey the truth about politics? as the saying goes: ”birds of a feather flock together” so there’s no wonder why our country is detorariating with these ”fake” leaders and celebs at the helm of affairs. If Ghanaians were to be bold enough to stand up to these scums (politicians, celebs, tv & radio presenters, etc..) our country wouldn’t be in such a mess. We’re too docile for these educated scum bags to take us for a ride. SMH

          • The fact tht they are celebs doesn’t mean they can not express their political views. In fact we shd even applaud those public figures who do because it is a huge risk to them and their career if things go wrong. If NDC had been a radiant success would u insulting Dumelo or any of those celebs who endorsed. The fact is none of the 50% + 1 that endorsed mahama expected what is happening now neither did the celebs so let’s take it easy and find a way forward. No celeb would publicly endorse anything if they thought it was not good at the time.

          • we’re
            talking about Ghana. please leave the states out of this. atleast the american
            politicians including the president have a sense of commitment. how about the
            Ghanaians? can you give one example of this government? in 2014 children are
            now forced to sit on blocks to learn because after all the money ndc has
            borrowed and wasted on ghost projects, they can’t afford to supply school with
            chalks let alone, chairs and tables. do you spot the difference between these 2
            worlds?

          • I never mentioned the states in our exchange so I don’t get u. In any case the two economies and circumstances are different so I don’t believe in making tht comparison

          • Celebrities in the USA, campaigned for Obama how about that? To the extent that Beyonce gave him $ 5 million to push his campaign. I remember very well that I joined a particular party who gave money, t shirt n stuff to a group of people including myself to campaign for them. We did all that , giving stuff, convincing, etc but I voted for another party on the D day. The fact that I’m campaigning for u doesn’t me I voted or will vote for u! So relax. Besides its a right to support a particular party whether openly or secretly regardless of who u are except u are the chairman of EC (Electoral Comission) then u can’t, openly. Lol.

          • Lemme correct u on something. .what Beyonce did was, had a fundraising dinner that raised $50mil for the Obama campaign and not the other way round. See, in ghana politicians pay for celebs to campaign for them, while In the us celebs raise funds in campaigning for politicians (which makes sense). Our way is once again, CORRUPTED.

          • Hahaha hahaha really? This is a joke right? U ain’t got time for what? I seriously don’t get ur comment. ..are we suppose to be fighting or something,cos I’m lost here lmaaaooo ooh daabi kwraa smh

          • Hm, I’m sure u don’t even know jokes and seriousness are two diff words. I clearly did not reply against ur name in the first place, so get off. There’s a better air in my nostrils. That’s how serious…

          • It saddens my heart when block hearted, inhumane snubs think they are deserving of the title Queen when they enjoy seeing others suffer in the heart n they laugh n joke about it.
            Tango with me gen. It’s a yes!

          • My friend, who the hell are you calling this names. Is it a crime for a celeb to vote? Or make a political stand? I am an active member of the TUC tht went on strike yesterday. Where were u? Nonsense talking abt enjoying ppl suffer. Why do u think those celebs who endorsed have not come out to say anything? You think they are happy with the outcome of their endorsement? They are equally embarrassed and not satisfied with Mahama’s performance so don’t u dare come here and hide behind computer to call ppl names. We are walking the streets in red to make a point. What are u doing? Typing insults!

  2. I wonder ohhhhh,when they were twisting their mouth to their slogan.bring back our normal Ghana ,enough of the better Ghana .

  5. These people joined the party at the wrong time hahaha, Rawlings time was when the NDC was the shit, he shared money among the people and those around him. Mahama and his crew are all about themselves not these broke ones. Mr. beautiful is very funny and looks more like some hypocrite. He’s the type that will force his way to NPP when they next comes to power. People should know that there’s no money in that party compared to before. I know because i witnessed so much during the 90’s.

  6. Rawlings Ghana will forever be grateful to u. both the earth n the heavens witnessed ur selfless love, hard work and achievement that brought us freedom, enabling us to walk on the street of our own country without fear, the man who will enter the gutters himself to clean up, talk about leadership by example, u contributed immensely to the development ur motherland. Is not about what people say, it’s about the truth. Daddy Rawlings, i say with heartfelt emotion, that God continue to bless u n family ur party will win the next election again rain or shine. God bless u!
