I Was Sidelined By Some Movie Producers Who I Thought I Wasn’t Fluent In English – Gloria Sarfo 

Gloria Sarfo has shared a challenge she encountered in her acting career.

The actress revealed on TV3’s Ladies Circle that some movie producers sidelined her.

According to her, these producers thought she was not fluent in English because of the ‘Efiewura’ series roles she played.

“Before I used to get worried, I use to talk a lot. Because of the Efiewura tag, people thought I couldn’t even express myself in the English Language so everything was about I am a local actress because of Efiewura.

 “I was actually told that because of my active roles in local series, I have a least chance to be given a role as a wealthy man’s daughter in any glamour movie. Like, are we that shallow?

“But thankfully, AMVCA, it was speaking Twi that got me there. Speaking twi is my identity, this is who I am. Thanks to Shirley Frimpong Manso, she knows I do Efiewura but she was like, ‘Gloria, do it your own way, blend the dialogue with the twi language if you are comfortable with it. Do your own thing’. I did that and it worked and with God, it became successful,” she said.

However, Gloria stated that she was not bothered being tagged as a local actress but the negativity attached made her uncomfortable.

“I play lead roles in movies that when the posters come out, my face will not be on it and the only reason I have been told is because, I don’t appeal to the target audience. And I’m like, ‘so you knew and you still brought me on to do what exactly’?” Gloria Sarfo added.

We haven’t met recently, but certain events reveal who should be near you. So, there’s no tension,” Kalybos said in an interview with Felicia Osei on Onua FM.

“I don’t believe in praying in tongues” – Strongman states

Ghanaian rapper, Strongman has disclosed that he does not believe in praying in different tongues.

During an interview on Joy Prime’s Prime Morning show, he said that he has a good relationship with his Maker and that he does pray, but not in tongues.

The rapper added that he prays every time he is driving, eating, or about to release a new song.

Citing an example about the release of his song ‘Transformer’, he claimed to have fasted and prayed for three days.

“I do pray a lot. I’m just not a frequent churchgoer, but I pray a lot. I have never prayed in tongues before. Honestly, I don’t believe in it that much.”

According to him, it will be weird for him to pray in a language if he doesn’t understand what he is saying.

The rapper, however, said that he is not trying to discourage anyone from doing what they believe in and that it is just his beliefs because it doesn’t work for him.

“I just say it how I’m supposed to say it: ‘God, I’m going to Accra. Help me to reach safely’ and that’s it, I’m done,” he said.

Born Osei Kwaku Vincent, Strongman is considered one of the best rappers in the country.
