A Sympathy Award By VGMA??

-
We just witnessed the 19th Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMA) last night. Where, for the very first time, a female artiste won the most prestigious artiste of the year award. This female artiste is no other person than the late songstress, Ebony Reigns. It was such a happy moment for me and her many music lovers until  a friend blurted  out, "oh this one dieerr they gave it to her because she is no more"
I was like come on! We are talking about the 'bonyfied' dancehall queen here.

Yes, the only Ghanaian female artiste to blow up in a male-dominated industry without a feature from any big artiste. The lady that has worked tirelessly hard and successfully released back-to-back hit songs. Hit songs that have got Ghanaians singing and dancing to date. One of her songs 'Hustle' has over 1 million views on youtube.

Yes, we are talking about the 'Maame hw3' hit maker who headlined most news than any other artist in 2017 for her appearance on many institutional programmes, including Radio and Television Personality Awards (RTP), Joy Fm Old Skuul Reunion, Miss Malaika 2017 grand finale, Star Fm’s Concert, Citi Fm’s December 2 Remember concert and many more.

Yes, the lady that won the most coveted Kwame Nkrumah artiste of the year award as well as the female vocalist at Bass 2017. The same songstress People’s Celebrity Awards acknowledged for her hard work and honored her as the Female Musician of the Year at their annual award scheme which seeks to award and celebrate individuals who have contributed immensely towards the development of the Ghanaian Arts and Entertainment industry.

All these feats and you stand somewhere and say it was a sympathy award by VGMA?? Hello!
It was a well-deserved award. Ebony proved beyond doubt she was worth the hype by working so hard to secure herself the artiste of the year award. It was rather unfortunate the songstress wasn't around to see how her hard work finally paid off. #EbonyReignsForever. Rip queen. You really made a mark.

    Let me start by saying this year's VGMA awards was boring. Also the awardees behaved as if, they know that they will be awarded. There was no surprise.For Eboney, she did very buy I think that sympathy counted.

    I don't think so, she worked hard last year and her rapid growth in music within the Shortest possible time was undoubtedly remarkable. Additionally if she was alive today, this award would have been a token of her hard work. She did deserves it.

    She worked hard, but as to whether she deserved it, I think the other artistes in that category did a better job.

    A society that knows only how best to honour the dead isn't worth recasting its foundation when it collapses.

    We have gotten what we wanted: finally.

    Ebony — even her ghost won't celebrate this 'nonsense' that has been made after her.

    to God & man?
    to man & nation?

    to the dead & the epiphany of gross 'senselessness'!

Fellow Love: Each one, teach one

I met this boy while taking a stroll this morning around the Islamic Training Institute playing all by himself close to the Kanda highway(Traffic light). He had no sandals on and his uniform looked so dirty. I initially walked past but my brotherly love(humanity) didn't allow me to go any further so I approached him and asked why he was playing all alone at a dangerous spot like that while class was in session? The little boy told me he was sacked by his class teacher for not paying extra classes money. I told him to take me to his teacher I will pay the money so he sits and learns with his peers. When I asked him how much the 'extra classes' money is, to my utmost surprise, he said Ghc1. I got pissed because there was a similar incident on the news last year where a 6year-old pupil, Peter Mensah in the Ashanti region lost both legs while crossing the streets after he was sacked from class because of Ghc2.20. I marched the boy to go and show me this teacher who sacked him...

SCARED

'Not the people but the mind, Not the storm but the silence, Not the answer but the question, Not the result but the reason, I am scared of. Not the real but the dream, Not the moment but the memory, Not the lie but the truth, Not the death but the life, I am scared of. Not the end but the start, Not the strangers but the known, Not the hate but the love, Not the world but the me,  I am scared of.' A poem from the novel 'Everyone Has A Story'

Jodi-Ann -How I feel about you

-
Words can't explain How I feel about you. But what I feel in my heart, I know that it is true. We met as strangers, Then became close friends, We developed a bond for each other, A special bond I hope doesn't end. I can't stop smiling, And it's all because of you, Just one message from you, Turns my grey skies, blue. My feelings for you are growing, Each and every day, I really do like you, And hope you feel the same way. Can this be true? Can this be real? I wish I could really explain to you, The way you make me feel. In just a few days, My heart grows fonder of you, One day I hope to utter these 3 words, And those words are, I LOVE YOU.
