I DON’T SEE THE POINT IN GETTING MARRIED AGAIN - KOFI ADJORLOLO

After two failed marriages, popular actor, Kofi Adjorlolo does not see himself becomimg a husband ever again. “I don’t see the point in getting married again. I know I tried my best to make my marriages work but I guess it is not everyone who is born to have a successful marriage” he told Showbiz in an interview on Monday.

Although he did not give reasons for his marriage failures, the 58-year old actor said he went through difficulties during his marriage days and now that he is single, nothing will make him go back to tie another knot.

Kofi Adjorlolo who has featured in a countless number of movies said his primary focus is on his movie career which has made him who he is today and not on any woman who may distract him.

“I have two children who I am proud of, and who are also proud of their father and the last thing I would allow is for any woman to give me troubles. I always say to myself that, it is better to remain single than to be married with troubles. I know some people will disagree with me but I have tried it and I know what I’m talking about.

“God knows why I am single now. Maybe I wouldn’t have achieved the successes that I have now. I have been single for many years and I used to get worried but not anymore ” he said.

Asked if he would marry should he find his soul mate who is willing to sacrifice everything for him, Kofi Adjorlolo said no woman can convince him to marry again after what he went through. “I don’t believe any woman can convince me to marry again because it will not be worth it.

Reacting to comments that have connected him with model Afi Antonio, Kofi Adjorlolo said there was nothing between them “I was very surprised when the rumour broke that I was getting married to the lady because she was only a friend whom I met on a movie set.

On his movie career, Kofi Adjorlolo said he was happy the Akan producers had trust in him and featured him in their movies although he is not that fluent in the Akan language.

After working with Nigerian and Ghanaian actors, Kofi Adjorlolo’s aim now is to do Hollywood movies. “I think it is about time I stepped into Hollywood and play alongside well known names such as Denzel Washington, Mel Gibson and Angelina Jolie”

Born to Mr Johnny Adjorlolo and Madam Matilda Johnson, Kofi Adjorlolo hails from Keta in the Volta Region where he had his early education at AME Zion School. He then went to Keta Secondary School and later, Ebenezer Secondary School then GBC Radio Training School.

Before becoming an actor, Kofi was a professional musician who played with a number of bands including that of Nigeria's Victor Uwaifo of “Joromi” fame.

Sarkodie just released a mixtape he recorded at Possi Gee’s studio titled “Free Press”.

In the song, Obidi expressed his dissatisfaction about how Ghanaian journalists use their platforms to talk ill of Ghanaian artistes including himself but raise Nigerians and other foreign musicians high.

Repeating what he told Hiplife grand papa Reggie Rockstone in the song which made the Hiplife originator suggest that Sarkodie deserves a statue, Obidi said the media do not follow him when he travels to Los Angeles for BET award but they tweet to talk against him.

Comparing the Ghanaian media to that of Nigerians, he said they follow their artistes to BET to boost their morale to work harder.

“If you cannot help, please leave us a lone. Support our own. Fuse ODG, R2bees and myself are trying hard and we need your support. Stop talking like fans,” Sarkodie told Ghanaian journalists in his new mixtape “Free Press”.

According to the Liberian born Ghanaian actor who is preparing to release his first self-produced movie, “Jack and Jill”, an urgent action to help cure these hopeless victims in African needs to be taken now.

Ebola victims taken out of Africa to the U.S & Europe have been treated and have recovered. It is clear that our West African governments lack the capacity to tackle this disease. We need urgent actions to help the people of Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea, Nigeria and other places in West Africa now affected by this deadly virus.

Please, countries of the West and your big organizations, don’t treat this deadly disease like you treat civil wars in Africa. Please think about how quick this disease takes lives. I’m calling on all concerned citizens of Africa to join me demand help from the people we know have the capacity to help us! God bless us all!

SILVERBIRD CINEMA APOLOGIZES FOR COMMENT MADE ON KUMAWOOD MOVIES

The pain and woes of producers of movies made in the Akan language which are often referred to as Kumawood were deepened after a statement by Silverbird cinemas in Accra sought to imply their movies were of low quality hence the cinema’s decision not to show such movies there.

However, a recent meeting with the Film Producers Association of Ghana (FIPAG) has seen management of Silverbird Cinema apologize for its comment and set out a new road map to help show local movies (Akan) at its cinemas.

The cinema as part of the new road map will join forces with FIPAG to organize local movie weeks as well as local movie festivals to help improve the movie industry. It will also organize workshops with producers to cement the new relationship.

Some few weeks ago, the marketing manager of Silverbird cinema, Cynthia Elorm Dumfuor during the Women in Film Making Forum at the Golden Tulip told the gathering that they were not showing Kumawood movies because they do not meet the quality and standards required by the managers of the cinema.

She was quoted as saying, “it is not as if we don’t want to show any movies produced locally at the cinema. We have movies from other producers being premiered at our cinema’s, but most of the Akan movies have lower quality and are sub standard, that is our issue with those movies.

If they can upgrade their movies, I am sure we will be glad to show Akan movies in our cinemas because we also want to contribute our quota to the movie industry."

In a related development, Home Base TV has also dedicated 2 hours daily for FIPAG and its members to advertise, discuss, show music videos and to showcase their works for free.

This is an attempt to help absorb some of the high cost of advertisements that FIPAG members face during promotions.

According to her, the upcoming album is a 15-track album which was specially written and arranged by her and was produced by Kaywa, Morris Baby Face, MixMasta Garzy as well as upcoming talented engineers, X-Conzy and Fita of Alqaheeda fame who was nominated at the 2014 VGMA.

“I featured Pros on songs on the album like Okyeame Kwame, the Rap Doctor on ‘Prince Charming’ and also, Castro, Joe Frazer, among others that I would like to keep as a surprise for now but I believe the songs on the album will ‘HIT’ bangers,” she hinted.

Meanwhile, Abrewa Nana is currently in the studio working with legend producer, Zap Mallet and also intends working with Appietus among other Ghanaian and international producers.

Far from music, the Dancehall Queen is also working on a Breast Cancer project as a “quota of my Social responsibility to educate women in the entire nation and to likewise let the public know that it’s not a disease of only women.

But also men has a high risk of being affected as well as winning babies as proven by research,” she disclosed.

“I am indeed grateful to the Lord Almighty for how far He has brought me and thank you to all Ghanaian DJs and Presenters who has appreciated my music and given me respectable air time on their various platforms for the world to hear my voice and works again not forgetting my fans and every music lovers,” she said.
