This is really no news, that the Miss Ghana pageant has been involved in something embarrassing again. At this point it’s more susprising when they do something that’s not embarrassing. Still, it’s funny whenever this clearly dying pageant makes another awkward blunder which allows Ghanaians to heap more scorn on alleged ‘Pimp’ Inna Patty. According … Read more

At this point we have to start checking the brains of ladies who voluntarily decide to compete in a disgraced pageant which is rocked by at the very least one resignation per year due to this same unhappiness over demands made of the queens.

Somehow the Miss Ghana pageant is still running and somehow, ladies are still enrolling despite the word of several former beauty queens about their experience with the pageant. If the pageant is still running though, it seems perhaps its because the standards have fallen drastically from its heydays, and Ghanaians are picking up on that. … Read more
Apparently the Miss Ghana pageant is still ongoing, who knew? After all the allegations of misconduct and pimping, by not one or two or even three but more than that number of former contestants, you would think people would have learned to stay away by now. As an old saying goes, once might be chance, … Read more
There was a story a week or so ago on one of the many z-list blogs making claim to the fact that Ms Guiseppina Baafi, the 2013 winner of the Miss Ghana pageant, was the mother to a baby fathered by Atletico Madrid and Black Stars midfielder Thomas Teye Partey.
The story sprung up after Partey was spotted holding in hand a baby, leading to some desperate for traffic blogs to fabricate the claim against Giuseppina.
A legal battle for the ages is brewing in Ghana as the Miss Ghana scandal heads to the courtroom after years of being deliberated in the public sphere.
Inna Patty and Exclusive Events Ghana are suing the three former beauty queens who have bravely come out to tell their stories, as well as GhanaCelebrities.Com and our Founding editor, Chris-Vincent Agyapong Febiri.
Yet another bombshell allegation has dropped about the embattled Inna Patty, CEO of Exclusive Events Ghana, organizers of the Miss Ghana pageant.
Miss Ghana 2013 Giuseppenia Baafi has told GhanaCelebrities.Com that Patty was always on her neck to go for a nose job because she said getting a more pointy nose would make her deemed more ‘beautiful’ and attract more attention to herself.
After empty legal threats against the former beauty queens bravely speaking out against being exploited the organizers of the Miss Ghana pageant are waging a strong PR war to attempt to win back the trust of Ghanaians especially the young ladies who would want to sign up for upcoming pageants.
After the bombastic allegations of former contestants such as Stephanie Karikari, Giuseppina Nana Akua Baafi, and Antoinette Delali Kemavor which GhanaCelebrities.Com broke, 2017 winner Margaret Dery also resigned her position out of the blue, confirming the pageant is nothing more than a front for emotionally and s£xually abusing young ladies to enrich only one person.
The always controversy riddled Miss Ghana has had another hit to its credibility as 2017 winner Ms Maragret Dery has resigned her position.
In the past GhanaCelebrities.Com has reported extensively on the exploitation the Beauty Queens who dare enter Inna Patty’s pageant are forced to endure.
While Inna Patty and her Exclusive Events Ghana, owners of the Miss Ghana Beauty Pageant franchise who were swimming in scandalous accusations a few months ago are trying to use lawsuits to intimidate and shut former Queens up, another Miss Ghana Queen, Margaret Dery (the 2017 winner) has taken to Twitter to state that the … Read more
If you can play the magic trick that Inna Patty has played on Ghanaians the past two weeks or so, you deserve to be named the world’s best magician.
Aside from a pathetic defence from her PR which nobody bought and a threatening press release from her lawyers, no one had seen or heard from Inna Patty since GhanaCelebrities.Com broke the news of the pimp factory she was running in the disguise of a beauty pageant.
The past week has seen Miss Inna Patty and her Exclusive Event Ghana Limited (EEGL) sustain a place on the list of news headlines. At least 3 recent former Miss Ghana Queens – Antoinette Delali Kemavor (2015), Giuseppina Nana Akua Baafi (2013) and Stephanie Karikari (2010) – have publicly accused Miss Patty, who is also the CEO of EEGL, of financial, physical and sexual exploitation.
In fact, some of the beauty queens have described the Miss Ghana beauty pageant, which Miss Patty and her EEGL run, as an “escort agency.” Other former notable finalists, like Margaret Kuma-Mintah- Miss Ghana first runner-up 2013 (who resigned from her post just 2 weeks after winning the enviable position) have corroborated the sordid allegations.
Public sentiments leave no one in doubt that Ghana’s first President, Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah, intended to lift the image of the black race with the Miss Ghana Beauty pageant, but today it is rather doing the direct opposite. It is in this light that I, a former finalist of the pageant, wish to share my experiences, suspicions and beliefs with the public. I am doing this believing that it would help the public know what has become of this public asset – Miss Ghana.
The Miss Ghana Philosophy
The Miss Ghana pageant has a philosophy. President Nkrumah in his profound love for Africa initiated the Miss Ghana event immediately after Ghana`s independence in 1957 to serve as a platform to extol the virtues of the African personality and physique and also to prove to the world that the BLACK skin is BEAUTIFUL. It was also to offer the independent Ghanaian woman a platform to positively impact society. This move by Nkrumah was very much in tandem with his own Pan-African ideological underpinnings.
Thus, Miss Ghana being the first official beauty pageant has also been part of the journey of the emancipation of the Black people; it was designed to showcase the beauty of the African woman in international beauty contests. In effect, the ground-breaking launch of Miss Ghana in 1957 offered a springboard to make a bold statement to the world that the Black skin is capable of standing at par with the Caucasian skin.
Miss Ghana 2017, Margaret Mwintuur Dery, has categorically denied reports going round that she is in a relationship with the brother of Ghana’s vice President, Mahamudu Bawumia.
Ms Dery is allegedly involved in this s*xual escapade with Yakubu Bawumia in exchange for cash.
Inna Patty has travelled past the shores of Ghana with her exploitative nature being heard of all across the globe.
BBC pidgin, a service started by the British Broadcaster which reports news in West Africa pidgin English, has also written their own version of the Patty story.
After a full two days of hiding somebody from the Miss Ghana pageant has finally spoken out and their defence is just as pathetic as one would expect.
Inna Patty herself is in hiding but PRO for the pageant, Arnold Asamoah Baidoo, has come out to address a narrow portion of the allegations.
In the last few hours, Inna Patty, owner of Exclusive Events Ghana, the company which holds the current Miss Ghana franchise has come under scrutiny and attack–after 4 former Beauty Queens came out to share experiences, revolving around being pimped, exploited, embezzlement of funds, verbal and physical abuse.
In a total of about 3 hours’ conversation with GhanaCelebrities.Com, Miss Ghana 2010-Stephanie Karikari, Miss Ghana 2015-Antoinette Delali Kemavor, Miss Ghana 2013-Giuseppina Nana Akua Baafi and 2013 Miss Ghana first runner-up-Margaret Kuma-Mintah have all mustered the courage to speak about the different layers of exploitation, verbal and sometimes physical abuses and the sort of s*xual baits they were used for by Inna Patty.
They also alleged embezzlement of funds raised, by Inna Patty and her organisation.
In the wake of the allegations, GhanaCelebrities.Com decided to look at a copy of the Miss Ghana Contract, a document which until now has been a secret weapon of the organisers. The contract is the one signed in 2015 and shockingly, it shows everything that’s wrong with the beauty pageant.
A reasonable reading of the Contract and Code of Conduct show clearly the existing imbalance of power and gross unfairness of the two documents, to the disadvantage of the Beauty Queens.
Organizer of the Miss Ghana event and CEO of Exclusive Events Ghana, Inna Patty, did Ghanaians an incredible ‘wer dodge’ Monday.
Patty was scheduled to appear on Okay Fm to be interviewed by Abeiku Santana to respond to allegations levelled against her by former Miss Ghana winners, allegations first published by none other than GhanaCelebrities.Com.
We often talk about Kumkum Bhagya and how Ghanaian are addicted to it, but another addiction we have here is to Korean shows.
Many ladies especially binge watch shows such as ‘Boys Over Flowers’, ‘The Heirs’ and many others.
Daughter of Ambrose Dery, Ghana’s Minister of Interior and MP for Nandom in the Upper West Region, Margaret Mwintuur Dery has been crowned Miss Ghana 2017.
The University of Development Studies student, was also named Miss Talent, Beauty With Purpose and she’s won for herself a car, a slot to represent Ghana at Miss World 2018 among other goodies.
Exclusive Events Ghana, organizers of the annual Miss Ghana pageants seem unable to ever get their acts together and run a scandal free pageant. From having problems with former beauty queens to having problems with sponsors, this year’s pageant has once again been struck with controversy.
Headline sponsors Ghandour Cosmetics have pulled out of sponsoring the event after complaining that Inna Patty failed to adhere to terms of their sponsorship contract with the pageant.
Inna Patty, Chairperson for Exclusive Events, organizers of Miss Ghana Beauty Pageantry Show, has warned this year’s contenders not to come because of prizes.
The Pageantry Show marking its 60th Anniversary synonymous to Ghana’s Independence has received a significant support and boost from the Government.
Ghanaian Actress, Yvonne Okoro has said her family is obsessed with education and they easily get back to school when they are bored.
The “Ghana Must Go” producer has been less active in showbiz lately though there’s nothing much for her to do in the limping Ghanaian Movie Industry. It therefore sounds smart for her to reveal she’s now in a Law School hoping to be a Lawyer soon.
Rebecca Asamoah, of Miss Ghana fame, emerged 1st Runner Up at Miss United Nations Pageantry Show held in Jamaica.
The Beauty Queen after her strive at the contest arrived in Ghana over the weekend to a beautiful Ghanaian royal welcome by her fellow beauty Queens, friends, and family.
Rebecca Asamoah, reigning Miss Africa who recently revealed she can’t have a boyfriend because of her demanding responsibilities as a Beauty Pageant is in Jamaica for Miss UN and she’s “repping” hard for the motherland.
Rebecca who was also adjudged Miss Congeniality and 2nd Runner Up during Miss Ghana 2015 is among the 80 Queens from all the world competing for the 2017 Miss United Nations-Crown.
The deputy chief of staff, Abu Jinapor, has revealed that Ghana aims to bid for the hosting rights to the 2017 Miss World pageant.
Speaking at a press conference held to launch the Miss Ghana @ 60 pageant in Accra, Mr Jinapor said that Ghana would try to host the international pageant as part of events to mark the yearlong Ghana @ 60 celebrations.
Inna Patty may be living in denial or may just hate to hear the truth—because the handwriting is on the wall that the once respected and popular Miss Ghana beauty pageant is dead. A few days ago, Miss Ghana 2010-Stephanie Karikari stated in an interview that, the “once vibrant and competitive Miss Ghana Beauty pageant … Read more
