FIPAG IS KILLING THE MOVIE INDUSTRY IN A SLOW POISONOUS WAY

Though the film producers association has suggested to Agya Koo to call off his upcoming press conference scheduled for Friday 10th October, Agya Koo’s communication director, Mr. Isaac Rockson, confirmed on Entertainment Ghana aired on Neat FM 100.9 that the press conference will still come on at the Cultural Center in Kumasi.

In an interview with the host of the program, Kwesi Aboagye, Mr. Isaac Rockson stated that, the press conference is intended at showcasing to the public and Agya Koo’s fans that Agya Koo is still active in the film industry, and also, to give a clean platform to Agya Koo and anyone who think Agya Koo has wronged him or her.

“Anyone who has problem with Agya Koo or has any issue against Agya Koo is invited to the press conference to come and reveal it under the press conference so that if there's any amendment or if there is a need for Agya Koo to apologize, he will be asked to do so” Rockson said.

He mentioned that, the platform will also give opportunity to the management team to speak about Agya Koo’s new upcoming movies and the strategies they will deploy in selling those movies.

As to why they are going to reveal the new strategies in selling those movies, he said there are some mafia strategies going on in the Ghanaian movie industry.

“Film marketers will take your movies and will hide it somewhere; later they will return the movies to you that the movie did not sale. We have found a new solution to all that. We will reveal all the strategies at the press conference especially how Agya Koo’s movies will be sold, and how the public can get his movies to buy” Rockson stated.

Rockson continued that “a new way of marketing Agya Koo’s movies in a way that the movie will not pass through Kantamanto, Opera, Kejetia so the film makers don't hijack it'.

When the host (Kwesi Aboagye)asked him who the mafias are, Rockson disclosed: "FIPAG members have lot of strategies they use in their mafia moves. The marketers association also has some strategies and mafia moves that's killing the industry. Instead of the industry moving forward it’s dying slowly.”

He lamented that if care is not taken, the film industry will not have feet to stand on in the next 3 years - it will collapse because some mafias are in the film industry and they are killing the industry in a slow poisonous way.

Rockson said they want the industry to stand, “there are so many secrets in the industry which is too diabolical, which is too evil” he ended.

ACTRESS AKORFA SHAVES HAIR TO THE SKULL (PHOTO)

A new photograph of popular Ghanaian actress, Akorfa Ejeani Asiedu, in which she had completely shaved her hair to skull, is generating some excitement on media platforms.

The hairless photo popped up not long ago after the premiere of her latest movie, A Letter From Adam, but there are doubts about when it was taken, why Akorfa shaved her hair and why it is now in the public domain.

The seasoned actress was last seen in public when she attended the new movie’s premiere on September 19 at the Silverbird Cinemas in Accra. She had her hair on at that event.

It is yet to be confirmed if she decided to shave it after the premiering event or she had done that several years ago and had now found it right to release the snapshot of it.

Meanwhile, sources told News-One that the ‘I Sing Of A Well’ actress and her household were mourning. She lost her sister weeks ago, ahead of the new movie’s premiere, and had been wearing black clothes since then.

Akorfa remains one of Ghana’s veteran actresses who are still relevant in Africa’s movie industry. She is currently respected across the continent and beyond.

LOSS OF PREGNANCIES COST INI EDO’S MARRIAGE?

Just days after Nollywood actress Ini Edo's reported departure from her 5-year old marriage to Philip Ehiagwina, rumours indicate her loss of three pregnancies may have played a role.

The actress recently confirmed the end of her marriage on Wednesday, October 2, 2014 in a series of tweets where she said she initiated divorce proceedings to end the marriage even though she never cheated on her husband.

Her tweets also raised the question of her husband cheating on her, especially since it is on record that her former husband, Philip had walked out of his first marriage to his first wife, Ruth before marrying the actress.

That union lasted for 5 years (2002 – 2007) but sources close to Ini say her marriage to Philip was doomed to fail from the very start.

Apart from the fact that Philip’s ex-wife, Ruth never approved of the wedding, Ini Edo also had to contend with negative media reports about her wedding to Philip. Another factor that may have contributed to the crash of the marriage is the fact that the actress has not been able to put to bed 6 years after marriage.

They got married in 2008 and in 2012, news broke of Ini Edo’s first pregnancy which was short-lived; as she lost the pregnancy shortly afterwards.

It seems the "I’ll Take My Chances" actress suffered miscarriages in the duration of her marriage as she was reported to have lost another baby in 2013, followed by another in June 2014.
