FENCING WITH THE GHANAIAN DOCTOR

My friend Jessica

I’d literally avoided what could have been a fatal accident on my way to Ho. I was rushing to get to the hospital in time to see my friend Anna, who was having her baby on my birthday!

When I got to the ward, there were about five other women in various stages of labor and undress. I was not happy. There was palpable pain in reach. Women endure way too much. I think I might have changed my mind about motherhood in that moment. As I chattered away to my friend to mask my nervousness, a woman stripped completely naked and began to shriek. It was like ten banshee’s in there. 

BETWEEN ME AND CHRIS VINCENT AGYAPONG FEBIRI OF GHANA CELEBRITIES

EVIL ABOUNDS BECAUSE GOOD PEOPLE FAIL TO DO ANYTHING

On set of And Then There was You. waiting on my toys! sexy camera build Le swoon!!!

I chose to write this because I’d like to encourage other victims of cyber bullying that its Internet, you can defend yourself! DEFEND YOURSELF! When you keep the hurt and anger bottled up inside, that’s when depression sets in and then insanity begins.

Yvonne Nelson, Afia Schwarzenegger, Nadia Buari, John Dumelo, footballers, singers, high powered politicians. Do you see the pattern? Chris Vincent Agyapong Febiri always woefully attempts to pull down those above him who are not particularly interested in being "his friends". When he fails, He snaps. 
 

I'm pretty sure in his private sanctuary he pats himself on the back, thinking he has succeeded in holding the entire Ghana film industry hostage.  I don't even want to think of how he congratulates himself!  They say when the mad man finds a puddle of water and spreads it all around, he steps back, admires his handiwork and says to himself, "me too, I have made rain".

It's ok to write exposes and you know, blow covers, but it's how. Blow cover, but remember that's a human being you're handling and leave room for air.  

Someday, someone has to say, ENOUGH! 

CONTROVERSIAL

April? The last blog entry was April?

I'm lazy. We've agreed on that.
As my feet soak in these warm waters, I want to write a little bit about the word CONTROVERSIAL.

In Ghana, I have been tagged this a number of times. I have sent emails directly to webmasters to not ever tag me that again. What does the word even mean?

giving rise or likely to give rise to public disagreement.

FOR THE LOVE OF THE DEAD

"Everyone is a good person when they're dead". 
                                                            Bell McCain 'Where Children Play'.

I choose to be candid in this submission.

Two men have died. Two men who were president of the Ghana actors guild. Both died amidst health and financial setbacks.

Mr Odoi Sam was the person who helped me realize that I'd always wanted to a filmmaker. I don't suppose most knew that. Down the line, his ideologies and mine clashed.

I had conversation with one of the executives of the Ghana Actors guild last week. I was curious about the objectives of the guild, what benefits members derived, etc.

TO BE A WOMAN

It has been an intense 8 months. Working non-stop on the film #Likecottontwines. Its ran my emotions pretty raw.
Finally this week, I got to watch the full film. Well edited, temp music, temp sound, but the general direction was there. My editor Ting, said: "It feels like a documentary".
I agree.
Initially, I was tempted to be a little idealistic. Have the hero, the heroine... but I decided against that. I said I am going to tell it just as it is. Not the romanticized cinematic version, just as it is. The crap women go through. The things we endure so men can excel. Lord have mercy.

PRIORITIES AND CRITICISM

I am Ghanaian. No matter how many times I try to shake my head and give up, that love for country is so strong, I can't help it.

Nobody likes criticism. We all would love to be patted on the back for everything we do. The only opinions we'd rather hear are the ones that bask us in praise and glory.

Well, that is not a very smart process.
