RHAPSODY OF LOVE



Never look down upon someone no matter how the person looks for it is not the looks that pays but the message, the information and the reason why the person approached you is what we must be interested in.
It always good to say sorry to someone no matter who the fault comes from because you don’t know when you will offend someone or need help from someone since the world is a small place for all.
I know the Rhapsody brings a lot of meanings to minds but all the same, it just a tittle of a movie which blends most aspect of life to educate, inform and entertain movie fans.
From the producer of “Adults Only, Hot Folk” among others Mr. Socrate Safo, comes this sensational movie “Rhapsody of Love”.
Elorm(Baby Blanche)has been dating Antwi(Ekow Blankson) for a very long time but Mr.Annong(Mr.Odoi Mensah)his father, never agreed to the idea of him getting married to Elorm because she was Epileptic.
Elorm is left with nothing but tears and attempted to commit suicide.
Mr Ofei’s (Ekow Freeman) secretary, mistakenly dailed a wrong number for him as one business associate. He had a blind date with Elorm after the number was wrongly dialled.
Elorm is now happy again by his company and his unconditional love for her.
Have you ever been torn apart between the two? The one who loves you but his father won’t agree and the one who loves you how you are without condition.
Who do you think deserves Elorm’s love? Watch out for the movie called RHAPSODY OF LOVE from Safo ‘N’ Safo productions marketed and distributed nationwide.

DE LYTLE........ ON THE ROAD.



Music now seems to be fashion and fame to young boys of today but are those boys making it in the music industry?
I personally know duos that are making it now in the music industry without the support from any producer. Their name “De Lytle might sound small in your mind but it a mind blowing name with mind blowing songs.
I ways love to see young and talented musicians taking over the music industry especially when their music are well received and loved by numerous fans just as “De Lytle” are waving their flags high in Ghana and even beyond.
Their fans just can’t help it when the duo performs on stage with their sensational songs.
Young Little and Teddy blaze form the camp “De Lytle” with a belief to explore in the music industry and beyond.
They may not be too popular but are really making waves in the industry.
Although their hope was lost somewhere along the line, they never gave up as it was but moved on with prayers and determination.
“We started long time ago but due to circumstances, we stopped along the line” Teddy told Vibe FM.
Their popular songs “Shashiwowo” and “Georgina” has made them gain popularity in this country.
Coming up was not easy for these young boys, there were problems with producers who promised helping them out but did not heed to their promise and others helped to some point and backed out on them, meanwhile, this did not deter them from their ambition to become great musicians.
They finally decided to put their heads together to help themselves financially since there was no one to look up to for finance.
De Lytle started from GTTC senior high school. They performed shows together at schools, social gathering, and programmes among others.
They record under their own record label De Lytle in Accra and are doing well under their management.
They are in the industry for the love of music but not the money or fame although it forms part of the industry.
It not easy at all in this industry but they are still trying to make things happen the way their fans expect it to be.
“It not easy but we are doing it for our fans and our love for music” Lytle told Vibe FM.
More songs are in the pipelines so expect great things from “De Lytle” because they’ve come to stay.

Modeling in GH...... is waste of height.



Don’t mistake her from Liberia, Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia, South Africa, Angola, and Rwanda among others; she is a true and a pure Ghanaian from kwmawu, bomwire blessed with a nice height to meet her dream as a professional Top model.
Ghana Representative for the 2009 face of Africa which is an African Model Competition to select the next super model, has much pain in her heart after her return to Ghana and now sees modeling in Ghana as waste of height.
“If you want to be a good model, it best to go to South Africa, America or UK because modeling in Ghana is waste of height and potential”, she told Spectator Agoro.
Although she was not the winner, her expectation was to be fixed in one of the modeling Agencies or Fashion industries to exhibit the potentials she had in her.
Benedicta Tweneboah took the risk to pose with a snake, splash various colours on herself, bath full of ice cubes and all it takes to be a model which many ladies feared to do.
She even had to go pose nude with her hands covering her private part and other girls covering her breast for her just for a pose.
At the boot camp in Kenya, they were given some dollars for phone calls but in South Africa and Tanzania, they had to buy their own dinner with that money.
“Yes we bought our own dinner when we were in South Africa and Tanzania” she said.
Out of the 24 girls selected from 16 African countries, Benedicta was one of the Top 12 ladies selected for the next super model and the last to be evicted before the top 10 were selected. M-NET was publishing everything she does until her eviction.
According to Benedicta, Multi-choice is doing everything right just that since she came back, they have not arranged with any media house to have an interview and has not pushed her to any of the advertising companies to expose her in the industry.
She is surprise up till now, she can’t even boast of belonging to any Fashion Industry or Modeling Agency which is very bad and a disgrace to her as once a representative of FOA.
“I am a freelance model and feel bad because as a representative of Ghana for the FOA, am supposed to at least have a contract from one of the advertising companies”, she said.
Her performance during the Boot Camp was perfect and she had contracts from advertising companies in Kenya, Tanzania among others such as the muscateller and Rice Master’s advert which judges even testified she was extremely good.
There are a lot of people in this country who have represented Ghana in contests but didn’t make it to the Top yet, they were highly welcomed and were made known in Ghana.
Although things didn’t go on well during the contest, she will contest again for American next Top model and wish to go far in modeling but not in Ghana.
She won’t allow her disappointment to overcome her vision to become the next African to become a super model and a great Journalist.
She just wish things will change for the next FOA contestant who will represent Ghana because it never easy at all.

By banking with Fidelity, your money is safer, you earn more interest and you contribute to the growth of the economy of our country.”

He took home a 42 inch plasma screen from LG. The nine other winners took home prizes like home theatre sets, sets of gold jewelry, iPods, phones and other consolation prizes.

Today, we are rewarding our cherished customers and non customers alike who believe in promoting a savings culture in Ghana, reaching for excellence as well as going for the new standard in banking. This is only the beginning and we are calling on everyone who has not yet joined the ‘Go for Gold’ Train to get on board and be treated to a whole new experience in banking”.

SOME THINGS ARE FOR..........ADULTS ONLY


I don’t know how to break this news to readers. Weather to call it breaking news or unbelievable news.
Movie lovers will be of the same mind with me that in the Akan based movies, there are a lot of actresses who don’t speak English unless they want to make the movies lovely and jovial.
Adult only,a movie which must be carefully observed and pick a lesson out of it. Don’t wait to be told, check out Mercy Aseidu’s English in the movie.
The story is about a lady called Baaba who was brought to the city by her Auntie to help Acheampong (Psalma Adjetefio)
Because Mr Acheampong’s wife Auntie Esi (Naana Hayford) was always busy with her personal dealings, Mr Acheampong started having affair with Baaba anytime his wife is not around.
Along the line,Mr Acheampong’s son who came back from school also started having affair with Baaba after finding out that his girlfriend was a lesbian
After getting the message in the movie, one question fans have been asking is, what motivated movie Africa (Socrate Safo) to go for the title adult only, is it because of the sex scenes in it or the process where the security man was watching what belongs to adults only?
