One of the reasons why beautiful actress Nana Ama Mcbrown is loved by her fans is her versatility

One of the reasons why beautiful actress Nana Ama Mcbrown is loved by her fans is her versatility.

Assign her any role, and she delivers. Now it seems she is prepping for her biggest role to date, the starring role in her own wedding story.

Nana Ama made her film debut in the 2001 movie Kae Da Bi. According to her, her career in acting came about as an accident. A lead character in Kae Da Bi didn’t show up on set, and Nana Ama was asked to fill in. She’s been acting professionally ever since, and she’s become a force to be reckoned with among her peers. She said: "I was not even the person supposed to play that role [as a blind person] in that movie; Selasi Ibrahim was to play that role but could not show up, so the director asked me to try and I sailed through.”

Off-screen, the love life of the bubbly actress is a source of constant rumour and speculation. Nana Ama is currently dating Maxwell Mensah. She’s hinted that she may be tying the knot soon. At the beginning of this year, there were rumours that she had married after a picture of her getting married surfaced online. But it was found out later that it was a picture from a movie set. She was again rumoured to have tied the knot in February 2014, but that wasn’t true either.

In a recent interview, she revealed that she will most likely be getting married next year. Coming from the her own mouth, we can believe that this time it’s really going to happen. So prepare yourself to hear the church bells ring for Nana Ama Mcbrown and Maxwell Mensah.

Nana Ama’s relationships have always been in the public eye. If you recall, she was once dating rapper Okyeame Kwame. Her fans were thrilled that two talented celebs were dating and were hoping to see them marry, but instead they broke up, to the disappointment of many.

She was later thought to have married Nana Wiafe Akenteng, a chief of Hemang in the Ashanti region. The tabloids claimed that she was happily married to Nana Wiafe. Later, she came out to say that she was still single. She explained that she never married Akentang and that the farthest he got with her was the “knocking” stage.

Interestingly, the man she is dating now, Maxwell Mensah, is rumoured to have gone out with songstress Becca, actress Vicky Zugah and controversial musician Mzbel. If the rumours are true, then apparently Maxwell has a taste for women in the entertainment industry. Nevertheless, a careful look at Nana Ama Mcbrown and Maxwell depicts a happy couple.

Another thing to note is that Maxwell Mensah is over ten years younger than Nana Ama. Though some people have criticized Nana Ama for going out with someone she is older than, much older than even, the relationship appears to be none the worse for the age difference.

In Ghana, and for that matter Africa in general, though not written in stone, it is expected that a woman will not date or marry someone older than she is. At worst, she and the man she’s with should be the same age. But looking at Nana Ama and Maxwell, it’s easy to see that relationships can work regardless of who is older. Maturity doesn’t always come with age; a younger person may be more mature than an older person. So all in all, age sometimes doesn’t matter.

Nana Ama and Maxwell have been together for over two years. They deserve credit for working on their relationship. She appears to have finally found the love of her life, and we assume the same can be said for Maxwell.

In the end, love is all that matters.

Sister Deborah’s Naked Picture Surfaces Online: Is Nudity Here To Stay?

The way celebrities are increasingly baring it all on the Internet, it looks like nudity in the showbiz industry is here to stay

The way celebrities are increasingly baring it all on the Internet, it looks like nudity in the showbiz industry is here to stay.

According to some celebrities, they strip naked not only to show some skin but also to promote their career.

A few weeks ago, reality TV star Kim Kardashian’s naked photo for Paper magazine surfaced online. As one would expect, she got different reactions from the public. Whilst some mocked and heavily criticized her, others surprisingly liked the idea. One would think that the family would have learnt a lesson from Kim’s pictures, but that didn’t happen. Just last week, her sister Kourtney also went naked (not completely though) for Dujour magazine. What is it with celebrities and naked pictures?

Well in Ghana, guess who tried to break the Internet with a naked photo? It was the Uncle Obama hit singer Deborah Vanessa. She posted naked pictures of herself on her Twitter page. Her actions resulted in a lot of criticism, with people comparing her to Kim Kardashian. Like seriously? TV3 presenter Bridget Otoo’s comments on her photo got Sister Deborah and some of her fans furious. They vented their anger at the presenter.

Why would anybody support a celebrity who posts her nude pictures online in a morally conservative country like Ghana? This is probably a move by Deborah to promote her new single Borla. If indeed this is self-promotion strategy, then it is a rather cheap one. Now you have the Ghanaians laughing at YOU!

I must say, Deborah Vanessa and her brother Wanluv Da Kubolor are something else. A few months ago, Wanluv Da Kubolor also tried to break the Internet. He posted a picture of himself showing his genitals on Twitter. I dare say those two siblings love controversy.

The situation is no different In Nigeria. Controversial musician Maheeda revealed in an interview that she gets the media and the public talking by going nude. We also have Dencia and Afrocandy who are known for stripping.

A man suspected to be a homosexual, Mohammed Umar, has been arrested by the police for allegedly murdering his gay partner, Mohammed Snu, inside a room of a hotel in Garki, Abuja, over an argument about payment for services rendered.

The police reports that Snu died after he was stabbed multiple times in the ribs with a screw driver by Umar.

The deceased, a regular guest at the hotel, was said to have invited Umar for gay sex, but their romance went sour when he refused to pay his partner for the second round of sex.

A hotel staff told Punch Metro that the two men had sex twice, but Snu allegedly refused to pay for the second round, which led to a scuffle.

"The man had just come back from a mosque where he went for prayers with his partner when we heard a loud noise from his room and a voice saying ‘ya kuri (please, don’t be angry)’.

By the time we forced the door open, we saw Umar standing naked and Snu lying dead on the bed with stab injuries on his body. We immediately called the police and Umar was arrested."

The FCT police later went to the hotel and carried away the corpse of Snu as well arrest the hotel manager.

They also drove away the deceased white Mercedes salon car with Abuja registration number, KUJ 883 AQ, which was parked on the hotel premises.

The FCT Police Public Relations Officer, Peter Okechukwu, confirmed the incident, explaining that the deceased invited the suspect to massage him in his hotel room, saying he had pains in his ribs.

"In the course of the massage, Snu asked Umar to undress for sex, and from there, they engaged in a scuffle leading to the stabbing of the deceased by the suspect.

It was the loud noise from their room that attracted the hotel workers.

When our men got to the hotel, we found the deceased and the suspect naked. Investigations have commenced and we will soon know what actually transpired behind the closed door."

Yoruba actress, Funke Adesiyan, has become one of the few entertainers who have been able to translate their popularity in the make-belief world into a political career as she has been able to clinch the All Progressive Congress, APC, ticket to vie for a seat in the Oyo State House of Assembly during the primary of the party held in Ibadan, the state capital.

Funke who joined her colleagues like Desmond Elliot and Kate Henshaw to try her hands in politics, will be aiming to represent the Ibadan South-East State Constituency in the House come 2015.

Apart from Desmond and Funke, most entertainers who tried out in politics have been falling by the wayside.

Congratulations to her.

The boys’ mother, Onajite Esharegharan, responded to an ad for a “humble housemaid” posted by one “Omolade” on the site, Punchreports.

A variety of ads bearing the same description have also been posted on OLX by the same user since November 3, 2014 with the numbers 08141681774 and 09038349581 attached.

The latest posting, to which Mrs Esharegharan responded, was made on December 2, and it reads:

“Mrs Olamide is the best in given out housemaid why changing ur maid every month when we have reliable and humble maids for you”

Punch reports further that “Omolade” took Juliet to Mrs Esharegharan’s office after she responded to the ad and the maid was immediately hired.

However, since the disappearance of Juliet and the children, both her number and that of “Mrs Olamide” have been unreachable.

The boys’ mother said:

“She probably deceived the kids that she was taking them to their mum. Her telephone line and that of Omolade have been switched off since yesterday (Sunday).”

“We lodged complaints at the Isheri Police Station and the Department of State Service. The police said it was beyond their capacity, but the DSS promised to track the housemaid down,” she added.

Any valid information as to the whereabouts of the nanny or the children should be sent to Darlington on 08037071370 or reported at the nearest police station.

Actress Yvonne Nelson Speaks Out On The Ongoing Power Crisis: Is She NPP?

The power crisis in Ghana, aka dumsor dumsor, is proving more challenging to solve than our elected officials believed it would be

The power crisis in Ghana, aka dumsor dumsor, is proving more challenging to solve than our elected officials believed it would be when they promised us that load shedding was going to be a thing of the past.

Having transcended all governments, both NDC and NPP, of the Fourth Republic, the power crisis that is facing Ghana should not be politicised.

The nation is currently going through one of its worst ever power crises. The Electricity  Company of Ghana (ECG) has undertaken a load shedding exercise that is both burdensome and unpredictable. This has negatively affected many businesses that depend heavily on electricity to operate. For fear of going out of business, many have resorted to the use of generators, thus incurring extra costs and reducing profits. And the day to day lives of every citizen are being disrupted in ways that have left many praising God for his miracles when the lights come back on.

Complaints about the constant power outages have become part of our daily conversations. And guess what? It’s not only the ordinary Ghanaians who are complaining about dumsor dumsor. One celebrity who seems to have had enough of the constant power outages is actress Yvonne Nelson.

Sometimes in Ghana it is difficult to get people to say how they really feel about any issue that could be construed as political, especially those people in the public eye. Yvonne, however, is one of the few Ghanaian celebrities who is not afraid to voice  her opinions and views on national issues. A few months ago, she complained on Twitter about the economic crisis in Ghana. Whilst some lauded her action, others attacked her.
