Movie Review: A Sting In A Tale
Around this time last Friday night, I was well-seated in the Accra International Conference Centre, sipping a "free" coke and waiting for the first screening of A Sting In A Tale, the latest movie from Sparrow Productions. After being bombarded with music from 4X4 and VIP which was heavily punctuated by ads from the movie sponsors, Chris [...]
A Sting In A Tale. A new movie premieres in Ghana.
A Sting In A Tale, the latest movie from Sparrow Productions premiers next weekend at Accra International Conference Centre in Ghana. It features Adjetey Anang, Lydia Forson, Majid Michel among others. A twisted tale of two unemployed graduates who embark on a journey to make it in a world where you need more than what you have to get what [...]
Abrokyir Nkomo: Any Work? (Reflections of a Ghanaian Immigrant)
Rodney Nkrumah-Boateng is the author of the book Abrokyir Nkomo: Reflections of a Ghanaian Immigrant which was launched in Accra Ghana recently. He has graciously shared an exclusive paragraph with me that is not included in the book and has given me the permission to publish it on this blog. It thus serves as an apetizer for you if you have not [...]
Abrokyir Nkomo – Reflections of a Ghanaian Immigrant
The newly-published book titled: "Abrokyir Nkomo. Reflections of a Ghanaian Immigrant" caught my eye at the bookshop inside Accra Mall over the weekend. I have found it very interesting so far. The back cover summarizes the subject matter: It is often claimed, half-jokingly, that Ghanaians have such a penchant for travelling abroad that [...]
Movie Review: The Perfect Picture
I had the privilege of watching the latest & hottest Ghanaian movie in town yesterday afternoon at Silverbird Cinema in Accra. Several hours later, I am still catching my breath. The first time I read about this movie via a friend on Facebook, I wondered to myself: "What audacity? How could anyone risk titling a movie THE PERFECT PICTURE?" The [...]
Ghana 2008: Where are the match tickets?
If there are any problems with the organization of the MTN Africa Cup of Nations (Ghana 2008) tournament, the artificial scarcity of match tickets will definitely be one of them. One simply can't seem to get cogent information as to the whereabouts of the match tickets. They have suddenly grown wings and are now elusive - only to be acquired if [...]
Ghana 2008: Ghana versus Nigeria
The Black Stars of Ghana will be clashing with the Super Eagles of Nigeria this Sunday 3rd February 2008 at the Ohene Djan Stadium in Accra. It promises to be a touch encounter since the Black Stars will be playing on home soil and have lost no match so far while the Super Eagles will be giving it their all in a bid to proceed to the [...]
Ghana 2008: Nigeria versus Benin
So far, Nigeria has not recorded a single goal in the MTN Africa Cup of Nations (Ghana 2008) football tournament and is about to witness an early exit unless of course they are able to beat Benin and beat them with a wide goal margin. To proceed, Cote d'Ivoire must at least draw with Mali. This match decides, to some extent, whether Nigeria [...]
Ghana 2008: Let the games begin
Today 20th January 2008 is the first day of the MTN African Cup of Nations (Ghana 2008) tournament. There would be a splendid opening ceremony today at the Accra Sports stadium as well as the opening match which would be between host country Ghana and a fellow West African nation Guinea. The Black Stars of Ghana have are poised to win this [...]
Ghanaian MP Eric Amoateng arrested for trafficking heroin
I'm a little surprised that it took the BBC so long to come out with information about the arrest and detention of a Ghanaian "honourable" Member of Parliament in the US, for trafficking $6 million worth of heroin. I guess they were waiting for government confirmation. I heard about this despicable act last Friday on Kokonsa's program on Radio [...]
