Who will buy my vote?

As the National Democratic Congress Parliamentary primaries for Southern Ghana draws closer, stories of intrigues and vote buying are emerging from various constituencies.

The Agona East Constituency is one of the keenly contested seats where the Minister for Food and Agriculture Mr. Kwesi Ahwoi is battling with some other contestants.

Initially there were five contestants in all but Mr. Arhin, a nephew of the minister was persuaded to withdraw from the race. It is reported that the Agric Minister’s quarters is offering each of the 250 delegates a whopping GHC1,000 cedis to vote for him.
It is alledged!

Shalom!

Queen of Tatoos

Dear blogville, If you've read my article on 'Why I admire Nigerian Movies' you will understand why Nollywood has a place in my heart. Some actors and actresses I never miss their shows are; Patience Ozorkor, Olu Jacobs, Bruno Ihuoha, Pete Eneh, Pete Edochie, Florence Onoma, Christie Okonkwo, Maureen Solomon, etc.  One young actress I also admire so much is Tonto Dikeh. She performs her role with so much passion from being a President's daughter to a common house help. However,  I couldn't believe it till I saw it with my own eyes that Tonto has a controversial tatoo on her back in addition to 57 others on her body. Whatever calls for this 'fashion' is left to her to say. I feel its not necessary cos, she is only poisoning her blood. Does she want to enter into the Guinness Book of World Records?  God have mercy. Shalom! picture credit: Nigeriafilms.com
