Actor Kwaku Manu has partly blamed Ghanaian movie marketers for the struggling nature of the country’s movie industry. He alleged that majority of the marketers are cheats, who rip producers off their money. As a result, producers are unable to invest into the movies as they used to, hence themovie industry is struggling. His claim comes at a time when Kumawood movie producers are complaining about lack of distribution channels for their movies, and are forced to rely on marketers who are in charge of movie sales. According to Kwaku Manu, marketers make huge profits on movies given to them by producers but the moneys never get to the producers. Kwaku Manu, who was speaking on Hitz FM on Tuesday over comments he made on The Delay Show, cited himself as an example of producers who have been cheated by marketers. The actor revealed that he gave a movie to be marketed inAccra but the person could not even give him GH¢500 when he was travelling out of Ghana. Meanwhile, he alleged the

Ghanaian actor, Majid Michel has cautioned women on the type of men they choose to date or marry. In a recent post on Instagram, the award-winning actor intimated that men who do not know Jesus Christ lack real love, thus would not have good relationship with their women. “Ladies hear this, if a man is not following God he’s not fitto lead. If he doesn’t have a relationship with Jesus, he won’t know how to have a relationship with you. If he doesn’t know Jesus, he doesn’t know real Love,” he wrote. The ‘Crime to Christ’ actor few years ago announced his calling from God and how he has changed from certain things he used to do in the past. He has been preaching on social media and some religious platforms even though he has refused to be referred to as a man of God. Majid has, therefore, intimated that he now serves God butnot man.“Am I now trying to win the favour and approval of men orthat of God, or am I seeking to please someone? If I were still trying to be popular with men, I

When God looks into our future, He sees Hope, He sees a New Day with Brand new Possibilities.He looked into the future of a Prisoner called Joseph and saw a PRIME MINISTER, He looked into the future of an Orphanage girl called Esther and saw a QUEEN. He looked into the future of a Barren woman called Sarah and saw a MOTHER OF NATION’S. H
