One Night Guest

Image
One Night Guest Peter Sedufia’s One Night Guest is a delightful festive offering that brings humor, intrigue, and heartfelt emotion to the big screen. Premiered on December 25th, this Ghana-Nigeria collaboration is an audacious yet endearing narrative about a mysterious guest who spends Christmas night with a wealthy man. Sedufia’s knack for crafting authentic characters shines through as the protagonists' personalities clash and eventually intertwine. The film’s plot is driven by sharp comedic writing and seamless performances, with moments of hilarity punctuating its deeper explorations of privilege, humanity, and connection.

Compromised and Partisan Journalism the bane of our democracy.

Image
Just like some positions in our society like the Public Servants, Chiefs, the Clergy it’s assumed and advised that Journalists stay away from partisan politics. Journalist NEEDS to stay NEUTRAL since you can’t do partisan politics and still speak the TRUTH. Society depends on Journalists for TRUTH & FACTS so when majority of our journalists are seen to be openly partisan it makes the country very vulnerable. Just like our partisan Prophets who turns God into “a lair” by prophesying that the same God told two different prophets that two different presidential candidates will win one election, and that’s the same way you now see two different partisan journalists fighting each other over the TRUTH. We know man must eat but when man wants to eat with both hands and drink palm nut soup with a white shirt on in the open then you should expect nothing more than a soiled reputation. A respected journalist like Kweku Baaku vanished into oblivion after he started dining with the ruling part...

Ghana Witnessed The Most Impactful Creatives Campaign in History this Year - Kojo Preko Dankwa.

Ghana has never seen such an effective, attractive, far-reaching, and properly organised Creatives Campaign like the one rolled out by the NDC prior to the 2024 Presidential and Parliamentary Election. For a better understanding of my claim, let me begin from 1992 when Ghana's democracy was birthed; most creatives at the time did not get involve in political campaigns, the few who tried did that behind-the-scenes to conceal their political colours, however, the narrative began to change gradually each political season. Creatives became bold enough to show their faces on political platforms, composed campaign songs for political parties, and openly endorsed political parties and presidential candidates.  All these individual efforts empowered creatives who believed in the ideologies and Creative Art Manifestos of one political party or the other to come together as industry players to campaign for their preferred political parties.  The involvement of industry players in politi...

  A 13-year-old boy has filed a legal complaint against his parents in the UK, accusing them of abandoning him emotionally and physically by sending him to a  boarding school  in Africa against his will. The boy, whose identity is protected, contacted the  British Consulate  and a child welfare organization after his parents took him to Africa, enrolled him in school, and returned to the UK without him. According to his  lawyers  , the move was a “stark and brutal” act driven by parental concerns over his potential involvement in gang activity in London—claims the boy categorically denies. At a court hearing on Tuesday, November 26, the boy’s legal team, led by Deirdre Fottrell KC, argued that the boy is suffering emotionally and psychologically in his current environment.They described the food, tuition, and treatment at the school as inadequate. They claimed his relocation was done without warning or consultation and under the pretence of visiting a ...
