capturing the imagination and attention of aficionados across the world.

Yet another Ghanaian female celebrity has generated new controversy with
her style of dressing after the likes of TV3’s Nana Aba Anamoah, Jane
Awoonor-Williams, CEO of Spa 216 and the famous Raquel made waves with
their mode of dressing.
Twenty-four-year-old singer Efya certainly caused female tongues to wag
and male eyes to yearn for more when she appeared on stage last
Saturday with a costume that largely exposed her pear-shaped breasts.
If Efya had bigger boobs, they would have certainly popped out of her
dress to take a peep at the audience and also get peeped at.
Efya did not wear a bra to hide her sexy pair of succulent boobs when
she performed during the Miss Ghana 2012 finals in a plunging outfit
that exposed her boobs.
As expected, several members of the audience started cat-calling and
passing comments about the singer’s boobs while they enjoyed her
performance.
Since then, some of the pictures have started circulating on Facebook
and other social media sites, generating rather interesting comments.
It is difficult to say if Efya had a wardrobe malfunction. She has over
the years remained rather fashion conscious and when there were wild
allegations about her lifestyle and behavior, she hit back at her
critics, insisting she was brought up in a good home by her celebrity
mother, Nana Adwoa Awindor, the popular host of rested TV programme, ‘Greetings from Abroad’.
“Yes, my mother brought me up well. My mother is a very tough person
and she taught me a lot in my life and I believe that she is the person
who made me, who I am right now. I am grateful to her, God bless my
mother,” she told NEWS-ONE in an exclusive interview then.
“I leave a liberal life. I am very conscious, so I believe that
everybody has a chance to do whatever they want to as long as you put
your mind to it and apart from that I believe that you make yourself.
So I do what I want to do and I do it how I want to do it with whom I
want to do it with. And as long as I believe in it and I have a positive
energy towards it, I do and know that it is going to work out.
That is me. I plan for stuff that are supposed to be planned for and
let the rest go because I believe that in life, God has a purpose for
everybody and that everything that happens has meaning,” she also said
about claims that she was a bad girl.
Barely some few hours after the 2012 Edition of the 4Syte Music Video
Awards came to an end, outspoken and often tagged as controversial
artist who describes himself as “Ashanti heart, Ga Spirit, Hausa Vim,
Yankee Yo Yo, Romanian Blood, Gypsy Soul and Future emperor of earth”,
Wanlov Da Kubolor has lashed out at the event organizers for awarding
some undeserving artists.Although touching on Becca’s “No Away” video,
his main concentration was on the popular music video category.
Wanlov who states he is a fan of E.L however believes “Kaalu” video did
not deserve the most popular award at the awards event as “Vera video seff popular pass kaalu”.
Critically analyzing and asking what popular meant, Wanlov was shocked
as to how E.L’s “Kaalu” video could be more popular than his sister
Deborah Vanessa’s Uncle Obama’s video which had had more than four times
the views of E.L’s video.
In a tweet, Wanlov said; “Maybe i no talk am well. Kaalu vid n
Uncle Obama vid com out same exact day. In which part of d world was
kaalu vid more popular?
This question immediately tickled the minds of many of his followers on
twitter who really assessed the situation with mixed reactions as some
judged the awards as corrupt and bias.
The last few weeks has witnessed growing buzz and anticipation for this
year’s biggest gospel concert set to take place at the Dome of the Accra
International Conference Centre on the 1st December, 2012.
With South African gospel legend, Lionel Petersen confirmed to perform
alongside the enigmatic Sonnie Badu; most gospel music lovers were
beginning wonder which Ghanaian gospel acts will be featured alongside
the two phenomenal African gospel stalwarts.
Earlier this week, organizers, finally released the list of confirmed
local gospel music acts to rock the stage next month and it reads like
an assembly of the crème de la crème of gospel music superstars on the
local circuit.
Billed to perform at the “Let the Peace Rain” concert, include, Ghana’s
finest female gospel superstar, Ohemaa Mercy performing thought
provoking and spiritually gratifying hits such as “Menwu Da” “Adamfo
pa” and “Obeye ama wo”; Ghanaian gospel’s most hip and funky act, Cwasi
Oteng will also be thrilling music lovers with “God dey Bless” whiles
the ever colorful and energetic, DSP Kofi Sarpong is sure to bring to
bear one of his most spirited performances till date.
Incidentally, it’s been a remarkable year for all the local acts billed
to “let the peace rain” on December 1st. Earlier this year, gospel
songstress, Ohemaa Mercy staged her hugely successful, “Tehilla
Experience” concert which featured Sonnie Badu as one of the producers
for the event. Cwasi Oteng, also staged a remarkable concert last month,
and his hit song “God Dey Bless” is perhaps the biggest cross-over
gospel song of the year.
DSP Kofi Sarpong has also had a phenomenal year with chalking great
success in the Police service and on the gospel music circuit. It is
therefore expected that, their performances on the night will be a
culmination of all of their very best performances throughout a truly
exceptional year for all of them.
With the addition of the industry’s biggest acts to the concert,
organizers have upped the ante on an event which is already being billed
by industry pundits as the biggest gospel concert of the year.
Tickets for the concert are available for GHC40 regular and GHC70 for
VIP tickets. The Sonnie Badu “Let Peace Rain” Concert is sponsored by
Atlantic Trust, a dubai-based Ghanaian owned investment and finance
company and supported by LGG, Dalex Finanace, Access Bank and Fidelity
Bank.
It is powered by Empire Entertainment and Media GH; under the auspices of The Telecom Channel and the Hour of Hope Trust.
Congratulations to D-Black as he has beaten, Naeto C, Wizkid, Sarkodie
and more to win the Most Gifted West African Music Video at the on-going
Channel O music video awards with his ‘Fallin’ which features Nigerian
artist Mo Cheddah.
The video was directed by Phamous Philms.
You may know him for his wit and humour, a
popular face in many local movies but Katawere, known in real life
as Ebenezer Donkor has temporarily abandoned the cameras to join the
campaign trail of ruling NPP’s Presidential Candidate Akuffo Addo.
The talented
actor has been touring the country with Akuffo Addo as he seeks to
be elected into the highest office of the land come December 7. Katawere told GH Entertainment that Akuffo Addo is a fan of his and usually visits him to entertain him.
According
to Katawere, although he’s not a politician he believes Presidential Candidate Akuffo Addo is the best man to lead Ghana into the promise land.
The
comedian has mounted several political platforms to canvass votes for
the Presidential Candidate saying that a vote for Akuffo Addo, is a vote for a secured
future.
The outspoken comedian maintained that his appearance on
the NPP platform won’t affect his career in the showbiz industry. He
stated that his duty while on the campaign trail is to entertain the
President as well as the teeming supporters that will troop the numerous
rally grounds.
Katawere is currently with Presidential Candidate Akuffo Addo on his campaign tour.
The name ‘Yvonne Okoro’ is already a household brand in Ghana and
beyond. She has paid her dues and therefore, the dividends are paying
off for her in her career.
During the period of the Miss Ghana 2012 which her younger
sister-Roseline Okoro was a participant, there were so many issues that
surrounded her (Roseline Okoro) inclusion. Some positive and others
negative. There were even public debates on the case of one blogger who
shared his opinion.
Fast forward to last weekend when the Miss Ghana 2012 final was held at
the Accra International Conference Center. After a long night, the
winner was finally adjudged as Carranzer Naa Okailey Shooter, a 22
year-old medical student of the University of Ghana. Certainly the
winner will be happy but others who didn’t smell the crown will not be.
Surfing through the Twitter social network, I found something very funny from Yvonne Okoro’s handler which read as thus, “thanx
2 evry1 who supported my sis eva grateful, I had a dream of a better
Ghana free from sexual bias n Vote riggin..Mayb 1day..kisses”.
Now with such comment on a social network with so many followers of
her, both locally and internationally, where does this put the image of
Ghana? How does she want the winner to feel? How does she want the image
of the organizers to be seen?
Well noted that she spent a lot in campaigns, written and unwritten
stories about her sister, well that’s part of the game-do what you can
to make sure your person wins. But when the issue goes beyond the elbow,
it should be treated as one.
What I don’t buy in Yvonne’s statement is that she shouldn’t make out
that because her approach did not make her sister win the crown that
means there was some sort of rigging and unfairness.
In that venue that night I can stand witness that the winner came prepared with her brass band team who elevated the hall.
My dear Yvonne Okoro just accept the blatant fact Carranzer Naa Okailey
Shooter is the new Miss Ghana 2012; pick up the pieces and assist your
sister(Roseline Okoro) to move on in life.
