Now Veteran Ghanaian actress Grace Omaboe, affectionately called Maame Dokono has added her voice to the new trend of what the bitter and angry social media feminists term as ‘flipping scripts’.
Veteran Ghanaian actress Maame Dokono has joined calls for Patapaa’s ‘One Corner’ song to be banned as it is serving as a bad influence on the youth of the country.

Over the weekend we were talking about Ghanaians and our disgusting tribalism which brings so much sorrow to some people, who are told by their families they cannot marry someone from a certain tribe – a blanket ban.
But that doesn’t happen with just other Ghanaians, right – some families would sit on your neck when you travel outside that if its time to marry, you have to come back home.
Veteran actress Maame Dokono has warned female celebrities that the fact that they have some money and fame does not make them lords over their spouses, and the earlier they learn that the sooner they would have happy marriages.
Born Grace Omaboe, Maame Dokono said patience and humility are the qualities these female celebrities need to get men interested in them.
Actor Vincent McCauley of ‘Things We Do For Love’ fame recently got married at a private ceremony to his long time sweetheart, Sitsofe Tsikor.

As Chris-Vincent Agyapong Febiri puts it, our celebrities “are unemployed with their relevance tied to their Instagram activities.

Growing up in the 90’s there were few programs that brought everybody to sit behind the black and white tv set and enjoy some television.
‘Obra’, starring several of the biggest stars back then was one of those. And back then we had some bonafide acting talent and movies, not the dross we’re served to currently.

In order to have her peace of mind, veteran Ghanaian actress, Grace Omaboe, popularly known as Maame Dokono, has turned all the buildings she used to run her orphanage, into rented apartments.
She said: “Yes, I’ve turned them into rented apartments and it is fetching me more money. I had good intentions for my own country and people but my dreams were shattered. At least now I have my peace. My name is also resting. I will be 70 years very soon so I don’t want any noise and things that will raise my blood pressure. What I need now is a sound mind.
Would Maame Dokono establish another orphanage before she leaves this world? She responded, “Well I can’t say no. As the saying goes, never say never. However, I’m still reaching out to less privileged people in other forms. For instance, I’m part of the team at Royal House who assist the aged, Kayayos – female head porters from the Northern part of Ghana, prisoners and others.
Every Thursday, the aged comes to Royal House. I counsel them, feed them, pray with them, sing and dance with them so that they can also feel loved and accepted in the society. I also look after some blind people in my hometown.
So yes, I may establish another orphanage given all the favourable conditions. In my next attempt, I shall acquire the certificate they wanted me to acquire before I run an orphanage (laughs). I have a vast land in my hometown and in Accra to start another orphanage.”
