Lydia Forson ridicules the NPP for choosing Dr Bawumia as the next flagbearer

0

Actress Lydia Forson has entered the ongoing political discourse surrounding the viability of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia as the ruling party’s flagbearer for the 2024 general elections.

The actress raised questions about the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) decision to choose Bawumia and expressed skepticism about his capabilities.

Barely a week ago, over 240,000 delegates elected Vice President, Mahamudu Bawumia as flagbearer.

He polled 61% votes to lead the party to ‘break the 8’.

This endorsement, Lydia said is delusional considering Dr Bawumia’s subpar record for the past seven years.

Lydia Forson said Dr Bawumia is a part of the current economic crisis Ghana as his status as an economist hasn’t been put to full use.

“The NPP making Bawumia their flag-bearer is so intriguing to me. How are you presenting a candidate people believe to be a part of the current economic crises we’re facing? It’s giving ‘delulu’or bold. Either way I can’t wait to see the showdown in 2024,should be interesting” she tweeted.

Despite the widespread rumors of her marriage to her manager, the crooner who is also an actress subtly clarified her relationship status by saying;

”People often get married, especially towards the end of every year. I’m not feeling pressured. When the time is right, it will happen.”

Speaking in a candid interview with Cool FM, Yemi Alade said;

“Family pressure is a challenging thing to resist because it’s coming from the people I respect and look up to, insisting that I should get married.

However, I believe that if they genuinely have my best interests at heart, they will be patient with me because finding the right partner is more crucial than just getting married.”


But beyond that, I don’t think anyone should rush into making the wrong decision of being with the wrong partner,” she added.

Ayisha Modi fires Samira Bawumia for owning a $100k bag

0

Ayisha Modi is upset to have seen that Second Lady Samira Bawumia reportedly owns designer bags that may cost over $100,000 in total.


In photos circulating on social media, Samira Bawumia has been spotted carrying designer bags from brands like Dolce & Gabbana, Christian Dior, Hermes, Valentino Garavani, Louis Vuitton, Anel, and Chanel.


The Second Lady has been captured in photos from different occasions with these bags in her hand.

A social media user decided to take a screenshot of the bags and post their prices. The Hermes bag is said to be worth at least GH131,000 (£9000).


Reacting to this, Ayisha Modi has decided to call out Samira Bawumia for neglecting the people’s needs and spending on luxurious bags.

According to Ayisha, the total cost of designer bags owned by the Second Lady can equally supply some hospitals with beds.

GhanaWeb quoted Ayisha Modi to have said that “Dr. Bawumia’s wife [Samira] would be holding a bag worth the cost of $120,000, do you know how many hospital beds that money can purchase? Some hospitals lack beds and due to that people are giving birth outside. As Ghanaians, we have to think because It’s not all about the party, but the improvement that the nation needs”.

She continued: “A lot of people are unemployed, yet one person can use over $100,000 to buy a handbag and you are saying this is good leadership.

If that is the case then the residents are the ones suffering because they lack wisdom. What has she done for the women in Ghana?”

0

Ghanaian rapper, Medikal, has openly expressed his sentiments about being underrated within the Ghanaian music industry.

He believes that his unique style and dedicated efforts have not received the attention and recognition they rightfully deserve.

During an interview with Andy Dosty on Hitz FM, Medikal shared these feelings and emphasized how he has been able to distinguish his identity from his artist persona while reflecting on some of his significant achievements.

At one point, he shared, “Sometimes, I feel like I’m underrated. I know how to dissociate myself from the brand Medikal. Some people carry their persona with the brand. I sit down sometimes and watch my shows, and I’ll be like, ‘This guy is dope.’ That’s why I have been able to remain relevant for a long time. It’s not easy.”

Medikal further highlighted that he believes he deserves more recognition and appreciation from the Ghanaian audience. He clarified that he’s not ungrateful but that he believes he deserves acknowledgment for his persistent hard work.

“I feel underrated; they should give me my flowers. I’m not trying to sound ungrateful; I just feel like there should be more light thrown at me. I am a very hardworking guy, so Ghanaians shouldn’t sleep on me. More attention should be given to me,” he stated.

When asked about whether his distinctive style might contribute to the lack of attention, Medikal defended his approach, saying, “I’m doing everything right. Just that my style is different; people find it hard to accept it.”

Medikal has won the hearts of many Ghanaians through his hiphop music and is the fastest rising artist in Ghana at the moment.
