Ghana’s Rare Talent-Prince Kojo-Hilton; the Artistic Genius…



Have you ever been blown away by the set design, make-up or visual effects of costume from a movie scene or stage play or any form of theatre? The excellence or brilliance and creativity, showcased in the choice, build, or setup in a stage play or movie? That scary face? That fake tattoo? That scar? The bruised faces? You come across a good art painting and are curious to know the person behind it.


Most often, we easily forget about the intelligence and amount of work that went into the scripts or set-up. We only hail the excellence in the delivery of the actors, and so readily or easily ignore the works of the actual talents behind the screen; the writer, director, cinematographer, set designer, scenic artist, and other equally important crew members.

One of such, of amazingly unbelievable talent, with the drive and motivation to go beyond the limitations of his circumstances or environment is Ghana’s very own, Prince Kojo-Hilton.

CRUCIFYING OUR GHANAIAN ECONOMY

Image
Being a Ghanaian in today’s Ghana, is excruciatingly expensive. A simple meal cost virtually nothing not long ago. Gari and beans, known to many, and by many, as an affordable meal is now a fallacy. For our children, saving some coins for the occasional forbidden toffees is now an act of luxury; each penny counts. As the cedi keeps losing value, most of us are in a state of helplessness. How do I survive, is the question we keep asking ourselves each day. How do I pay for my next meal? How do I pay for my upcoming rent? How do I pay for my utilities? How do I pay for the school fees of my children? How do I pay for healthcare? I keep working, but cannot even save, is a common song of most Ghanaian workers. Quite recently, my mother contracted a young man to weed around the house. After diligently carrying out his contract which was barely a 32 square meter area, this young man when asked of his charge boldly let out, “hundred and twenty Ghana cedi.” I was actually bese

GHANA: OUR PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE?

Image
We all need our past because it is from the past that we learn our lessons and plan for the future. We need our present because, it is in the present that we are able to look back, reflect and measure the progress we’ve chalked and then plan how we desire our future to be. We need the future because; it is in the future that we envision the best in all our achievements taking into account our past and present situation. Consequently, it is in the future that our hope lies. Can you imagine a life without a future? The past and the present are the foundation of our future. Like all other countries, Ghana has a past, an interesting one for that matter. Looking back, our history as a nation has been filled with a lot of struggle as is often the case with people’s past; from the medieval times, into the various centuries, all through the political revolutions, to our present state. As a country, our past tells us of the priceless wealth we once had (and still have) as a nation that made

HOMOSEXUALITY IN GHANA; THE PRICE OF DEMOCRACY

Image
  Ghana is in a transition! It is now the age of perverts! The perverted country, Ghana! In Ghana today, it is now the debate on homosexuality! People have now become so embolden that they are lobbying for the recognition of gay rights in Ghana, Africa! Homosexuality in Ghana! Time does indeed change! That is the price we have to pay for democracy and acculturation! Ghanaians are now advocating for the acknowledgement of gay rights! The new Ghana! This is an issue that requires that we do away with any form of double standards! If indeed we have values or principles as a nation, and as a people, homosexuality should not be entertained or encouraged! No form of homosexuality should be encouraged in this country! This is an issue that goes against our very existence and substance as humans! I have said this before, and would again; animals are setting better examples! Human are supposed to be at the top of the hierarchy of the animal kingdom but rather sadly, we keep sinking to
