NADIA BUARI IS A LIAR; SHE DIDN’T REJECT ANY $75,000 OFFER – BLEACHING CREAM MANAGER

Last week, most online portals bombarded us with news of Ghanaian actress Nadia Buari rejecting a $75,000 deal to become an ambassador for a product from Avant Claire Grande Afrique which is believed to be a bleaching material.

However, the General Manager of Avant Claire Grande Afrique-Christopher Owen has denounce the claims and stated Nadia’s claims were unfounded and unfortunate.

Christopher is reported to have said in an interview with ‘The Juice Report’ that “his company offered the actress they chose out of many a total sum of $60,000 which she turned down after Avant declined a $15,000 raise she and her management requested for during negotiations”.

Hmm, does this mean Nadia would have gone in for the product had the figures she demanded gone through? Really? So why make it seem like she turned down the deal because of the alleged bleaching component? Well, we wait to hear what else would come from the camp.
Who is really telling the truth?

“POLITICS DID NOT HELP ME” – MAAME DOKONO

The issue of politics marring the beauty of Ghanaian showbiz keeps recurring and showbiz personalities keep veering to taste a bit of the ‘national cake,’ forgetting (or better still ignoring) how the Ghanaian mind is prejudiced towards politics.

Grace Omaboe, who is known as Maame Dokono in showbiz circles, has finally agreed in an interview with Sammy Flex on Capital TV’s Entertainment Capital that venturing into politics was a wrong move for her and that she regretted ever getting there.

The veteran actress who once upon a time ruled the airwaves and the silver screens remarked that she thought getting into politics was to continue to help a larger populace, but was shocked to meet the hatred from the opposition.

“Politics took me to court and I was tried,” Maame Dokono said in a sorrowful voice. The veteran actress who for a while has been out of the system, initially was with the National Democratic Congress but lost the general elections, crossed carpet to the New Patriotic Party and also lost the bid to represent her constituency.

Maame Dokono advised that politics is not supposed to bring division, but unity to help push a country forward for the layman to be able to feed himself and his family.

She went on to say that she has learnt from her political experience and will never try politics again, but rather move into mainstream acting since that is her first love and really enjoy acting.

She said acting gets her bus and would have joined the acting fray long ago but was stopped by her doctor to relax, but she is ready to move to the screens now provided she has a good story that could even push her to act for free.
