If you are a lady you may have worn them a few times and if you are a guy you may have seen them around family members or your female significant other .</span><br /><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Waist beads are usually small, colourful pieces of pierced glass, wood or plastic strung together to serve as adornment for the waist. Since time immemorial, several tribes in Ghana notably Ewes, Krobos, Ga-Adangbes and Ashantis have used waist beads to shape children and women and also used these beads as accessories.</span><br /><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">For some tribes, waist beads are worn for both male and female children but the male child removes his beads when he is 12 to 36 months while the female continues to wear it through to adulthood. Krobos and Ga-adangbes especially associate with this kind of tradition.</span><br /><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">While tradition remains the primary reason for ladies who wear waist beads in the 21st century, some people have quite interesting and unusual motivations for keeping this custom alive in modern day Ghana. I hosted a series of interviews with Ghanaian women of all ages, to learn more about this trend and the results may just shock you.</span><br /><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><b style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">OLD WOMEN (over 50years)</b><br /><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Not surprisingly, women within this age group motives are definitely traditional. Aunty Marvel, a 53 year old Ewe woman, explained that waist beads give shape to children and also serves as an accessory. She added that waist beads are used to shape both the waist and calf of the kids. “As the babies grow, the beads press in on the flesh and give the desired shape.”</span><br /><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><b style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">MIDDLE AGE WOMEN(30-49)</b><br /><b style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal;">Women of this age wear waist beads to attract the opposite sex. Akosua 36, recalled that when she was in high school several years ago, the headmistress banned waist beads because the girls would attract the men in the school as well as husbands of the teachers. To her, men cannot get enough of a woman who wears waist beads especially when it shows through their school uniforms and this caused the headmistress and female teachers to fear for their marriages.</span><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal;" /><span style="font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal;">Jessica 32, says that her boyfriend cannot get his hands off her waist beads and he might probably be the only reason why she still wears the beads. “there will be war the day I remove it…hmm” she said.</span><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal;" /><b style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px;">YOUNGER WOMEN (18-29):</b><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal;" /><span style="font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal;">This age group had more varied reasons for wearing waist beads. Korkor 24 wore them for cultural reasons. She said she grew up knowing that Ga-Adangbes and waist beads were inseparable. She admitted that she didn’t know the reason behind this “rule” but is not curious enough to find out.</span><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal;" /><span style="font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal;">A few ladies claimed that waist beads give them a nice shape and that is why they wear it (think of it as a natural waist trainer if you will) while a few think it is just an accessory for the waist. One lady also said she does not like waist beads but just like Jessica, she only wears it to please her boyfriend but removes them when she is not with him. Looks like waist beads war is not a joke after all.</span><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal;" /><span style="font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal;">One lady had a rather weird reason for wearing waist beads. “I just like the sparkles of the crystal beads when I am in the dark” was Ama Safowaa’s response when I inquired about why she wears beads.</span><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal;" /><span style="font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal;">Whatever your reasons for wearing waist beads, they are certainly a symbol of our proud Ghanaian heritage, history and culture and I hope we millennials pass down this powerful emblem and its significance to future generations.</span></b></div>adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17469816216596929240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4672162312447938732.post-77943647846214836182017-02-05T05:40:00.000-08:002017-02-09T22:42:02.697-08:00This is the picture of Razak Braimah and his wife Ghanaians can't stop talking about<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PG79QTaqO4s/WJcq_dmjuNI/AAAAAAAABw8/Vz_JhWwRnMs5n9SFNNY2vXZGZCZgMYg4wCLcB/s1600/70862351.295.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PG79QTaqO4s/WJcq_dmjuNI/AAAAAAAABw8/Vz_JhWwRnMs5n9SFNNY2vXZGZCZgMYg4wCLcB/s1600/70862351.295.jpg" /></a><span style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: left;">A picture of goalkeeper Razak Braimah and his wife is current being circulated on various socal media platforms and is receiving massive attention from users of social media.</span></div><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">In the picture, the under fire goalkeeper is seen wearing the same fabric with the woman who is a foreigner, with both of them looking good together.</span><div><span style="font-family: sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Razak Braimah came under serious criticism after an audio of him insulting Ghanaians leaked online.

And certainly, for generations now – from Fantasia to Jungle Book to Toy Story and right up to Frozen – the studio has served up many cast-iron hits that will endure.<br /><br />But study their back catalogue carefully and you’ll soon find that not every movie is a hidden gem. The Seventies, in particular, was a very tough time. After creepy old Walt died (and, according to legend, was stuffed in a cryogenic chamber, like a billionaire deep-frozen pizza) the wheels rather came off the Disney bus for quite a few years.<br /><br />Bad decisions were made, and bad movies were the result.<br /><br />Suddenly, the studio that had always been associated with a singular mouse became famous for a multitude of turkeys. And for a prime example of the kind of hokum Mickey’s men served up, look no further than <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077305/?ref_=nv_sr_1" target="_blank">The Cat From Outer Space</a> (1978).<br /><br /><b>The plot</b><br /><br />When his spaceship malfunctions an extra-terrestrial, with the appearance of a domestic cat, crash lands on Earth.<br /><br />In order to repair his craft, the interstellar feline – who happens to have telekinetic powers - enlists the help of a friendly earthling.<br /><br />But the Martian moggy’s task is complicated by the US army who seize his spacecraft and begin a hunt for the alien invader.<br /><br />So, can the cosmonautic cat return safely to space? Or will it be captured, forcibly interrogated and subjected to horrific, vivisectional experiments by a secretive military intelligence unit?<br /><br />Of course, Exploding Helicopter would never dream of spoiling the ending for you. But given this is a Disney kids’ film, one can be reasonably confident that the movie doesn’t close on a shot of the puss’ surgically-opened ribcage.<br /><br /><b>Who’s in this?</b><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-HnLExoxxIO4/WIjUH7d8jbI/AAAAAAAACG0/iENj1HD-gPQQBa0xHD3HdzQBbhNH1CTjACLcB/s1600/harry%2Bmorgan%2Bcat%2Bfrom%2Bouter%2Bspace.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-HnLExoxxIO4/WIjUH7d8jbI/AAAAAAAACG0/iENj1HD-gPQQBa0xHD3HdzQBbhNH1CTjACLcB/s320/harry%2Bmorgan%2Bcat%2Bfrom%2Bouter%2Bspace.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>The cast provides an early indication that this film is made by a studio executives not entirely at the top of their game. Without an encyclopaedic knowledge of American television in the Seventies you’d be hard pushed to recognise the main actors. But there are a few more famous names among the players.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0604702/?ref_=tt_ov_st_sm" target="_blank">Harry Morgan</a> plays General Stilton, the gruff, order-barking army man tasked with hunting down the titular cat. Best known as the avuncular Colonel Potter in the legendary and long-running comedy MASH, Morgan appears to relish the opportunity to play against type.<br /><br />The mellifluous voiced <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001522/?ref_=nv_sr_1" target="_blank">Roddy McDowell</a> (Planet of the Apes and its many sequels) also turns up as a saboteur seeking to snag the alien’s technology for his evil boss. Now, our Roderick was always an entertaining and playful performer, and it takes a special talent to drag a bad performance out of him – but this movie manages it.<br /><br />The poor lad is utterly wasted in a small and woefully underwritten role. (It’s worth noting that he managed to convey much more emotion in the Apes movies, and that was with two pounds of monkey-plastic hanging off his face.)<br /><br />There’s also a part for <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0358996/?ref_=nv_sr_1" target="_blank">James Hampton</a>. While the name may not be familiar, his perennially genial face certainly will be. Seemingly born into the world as a middle-aged suburban dad, he enjoyed a long career in family-friendly television programmes. Though he is perhaps best known to film fans as Michael J Fox’s father, and fellow lupine, in Eighties favourite Teen Wolf.<br /><br /><b>From Walt Disney to Walt Dismal</b><br /><br />So, how did Disney become so dismal?<br /><br />After old Walt shuffled off to that great Iceland freezer in the sky (well, Los Angeles) in 1966, the company became gripped by a terrifying artistic malaise. Robbed of their creative catalyst, the studio’s output increasingly came to lack the spark with which it had made its name. (Who remembers, or for that matter has ever heard of, Napoleon and Samantha, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0069199/?ref_=nv_sr_1" target="_blank">Run Cougar Run</a>, or Ride A Wild Pony?)<br /><br />There’s an overwhelming sense of safe choices and pulled punches. And those traits are on painful display here.<br /><br />Consider the film’s premise: stranded alien befriends human. It’s loaded with possibilities. Just look at what Steven Spielberg did with it in E.T a few year later.<br /><br />But where the bearded boy wonder gave us a deft blend of drama, comedy and pathos, The Cat From Outer Space gives us feeble wordplay, lamentable slapstick, and shoddy spectacle. The whole enterprise is so lacking in inspiration it doubtless had Walt spinning in his grave (or cryogenic tube, assuming you believe the rumours).<br /><br /><b>Exploding helicopter action</b><br /><br />Given the torpor that pervades the rest of the film, it’s not surprising to find that the exploding helicopter action is similarly underwhelming.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-L_UDbGYk0FU/WIjUp2MvIvI/AAAAAAAACG4/r82h3bPG47AdzqBrfSS6cOtmdTTH45SWACLcB/s1600/helicopter%2Bcat%2Bfrom%2Bouter%2Bspace.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="181" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-L_UDbGYk0FU/WIjUp2MvIvI/AAAAAAAACG4/r82h3bPG47AdzqBrfSS6cOtmdTTH45SWACLcB/s320/helicopter%2Bcat%2Bfrom%2Bouter%2Bspace.png" width="320" /></a></div>Late in the film, the real villains turn out to a group of industrial saboteurs who want to seize the alien’s technology. When their plan fails they take a female hostage and try to escape in a helicopter (a Sud Aviation SA 341G Gazelle for all you rotor-bladed geeks out there).<br /><br />For unknown reasons, the chopper suffers a malfunction that will only let it fly straight line. Unable to steer the aircraft, the bad guys don parachutes and jump out, leaving the damsel in distress to her fate. It's then up to the psychic powered feline to save her.<br /><br />Using an old biplane the whiskered world traveller effects a thrilling mid-air rescue where the woman has to climb down from the Gazelle into the biplane. The pilotless copter finally sputters, goes into a spiral and disappears behind a hilltop where it explodes off-screen.<br /><br />It’s a damning moment. When a film can’t even be bothered to blow up a helicopter, you know you’re in trouble.<br /><br /><b>Artistic merit</b><br /><br />While there’s some fun and novelty to be had from watching the fixed-wing and rotor-bladed aircraft carryout an airborne joust, this good work is undone by the explosion. Or rather the complete lack of one.<br /><br />Having a helicopter disappear from view before blowing-up is a directorial cheat Exploding Helicopter is sadly all too familiar with. But here, we reach a new low.<br /><br />Most embarrassed auteurs would have had the good grace to send a plume of smoke skyward or give us a shot of the wreckage as token indicator that the whirlybird has been destroyed. But whether through a lack of budget, imagination or both, the director leaves the work to the sound effects – dubbing a generic explosion noise onto the soundtrack. Pathetic.<br /><br /><b>Exploding helicopter innovation</b><br /><br />The aerial duel between helicopter and biplane is quite good. There’s some genuinely impressive stunt work as a couple of professional daredevils clamber around the outside of the helicopter and biplane.

Culture is best defined as the way a group of people live–it’s not the way a group of people are able to safeguard how their ancestors lived and repeat that, irrespective of their own contemporary conditions or philosophies.<br /><br />Therefore, any Culture that does not embrace the spirit of dynamism or change is obsolete, mostly barbaric.<br /><br />The beauty of Culture is not found in it’s antiquatedness but in its relevance and empowerment of those adhering to it.<br /><br />Culture ought to be progressive and law-abiding!<br /><br />—Chris-Vincent Agyapong Febiri<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-P8Rcn9jCCxg/WIM3lDgmAbI/AAAAAAAABnA/2YOML7FgVGw3Hc6GbqwMgwpVypA10AwhACLcB/s1600/Screen-Shot-2017-01-20-at-10.36.49%25282%2529.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-P8Rcn9jCCxg/WIM3lDgmAbI/AAAAAAAABnA/2YOML7FgVGw3Hc6GbqwMgwpVypA10AwhACLcB/s320/Screen-Shot-2017-01-20-at-10.36.49%25282%2529.png" width="267" /></a></div><br /><br /></div>adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17469816216596929240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4672162312447938732.post-69902685661563889892017-01-21T02:14:00.000-08:002017-02-09T22:42:02.892-08:00No short man for me – Beauty Queen<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dMCcWut47oM/WIM0AXroZYI/AAAAAAAABmY/JvPqZehKmyk5syNakve7VpG5E9O_xPctQCLcB/s1600/Abena-Akuaba-Appiah.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="261" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dMCcWut47oM/WIM0AXroZYI/AAAAAAAABmY/JvPqZehKmyk5syNakve7VpG5E9O_xPctQCLcB/s320/Abena-Akuaba-Appiah.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />Every woman has a particular feature that she looks out for in choosing a man or the love of her life and for Ghanaian model Abena Akuaba Appiah, she prefers tall men.<br /><br /><br />“No disrespect to short men but I can’t imagine myself dating or getting married to a short man. I am 5”8 feet tall and I wouldn’t want a short man whom I would have to bend down to look at. A man taller than me will do for me” she told Showbiz in an interview recently.<br /><br />Abena, a final year student of the State University of New York pursuing a degree in Mass Communication, said she would prefer a tall good-looking Christian man who is well established.<br /><br />Her man must be very fit, have a flat tummy, good hair and nice finger nails. “My type of man is probably not in Ghana because currently I am crushing on Prince Harry of the United Kingdom and Entomologist Steven Kutcher who played the lead role in the Spider man movie” she said.<br /><br />According to Abena, who competed in the Miss Ghana Beauty Pageant in 2014, she wonders why men are not able to approach her because she is the friendly type. She explained that she is aware of how difficult it is for men to approach and try to be friends with her.<br /><br />“Not only guys but some female friends even find it difficult to come to me. I don’t know what I have that scares men away. Maybe my beauty is too much for them to contain but I always prefer a man who is bold and goes for what he wants,” she added.<br /><br />Late last year, Abena won Miss Queen Beauty Universe held in Spain and according to her, winning such a prestigious award has been her greatest joy.<br /><br />Touching on schooling, modelling and music, Abena who is also an actress, said it is not easy combining all these but a serious person like her can always make it possible.<br /><br />“I am sure that is probably the reason I don’t have time for men now, because there is a lot I need to achieve. In the next five years. I should be able to at least achieve half of my goals,” she said.<br /><br />Abena has participated in international modelling competitions such as, Top Model Ghana 2013 and Top Model of the World 2013 where she emerged among the top 15 out of 60 countries.<br /><br />She also won Miss Universe Ghana 2014 and competed in the Donald Trump international pageant Miss Universe in 2014. Abena became a brand ambassador for Garner hair products in the United States.<br /><br />The runway diva has also done fashion shows with contour fashion week, New York fashion week, Vlisco, Woodin, Da Viva and GTP. She has released five singles and is currently working on an album.<br /><br />She has modelled for most of the top designers from around the world including the crèmè de la crèmè from the United States, Andres Aquino from Spain, Sushma Patel from India, Catalan from France and late Kofi Ansah from Ghana.<br /></div>adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17469816216596929240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4672162312447938732.post-19740274473820117952017-01-21T02:03:00.000-08:002017-02-09T22:42:02.903-08:00Yaw Dabo 'grabs’ Nana Ama McBrown and Benedicta Gafah’s butts<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-i94L6VsohkE/WIMwR1g98fI/AAAAAAAABmE/H6qVur_NmboHjLnQe3TpYHJzsrLGYrXVQCLcB/s1600/Screenshot_2017-01-21-09-54-16_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="246" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-i94L6VsohkE/WIMwR1g98fI/AAAAAAAABmE/H6qVur_NmboHjLnQe3TpYHJzsrLGYrXVQCLcB/s320/Screenshot_2017-01-21-09-54-16_1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <a href="https://youtu.be/w_8WSTD3NkU" target="_blank">Watch Video Here</a><br /><br /><br /><br />Kumawood actor Yaw Dabo was able to do something that very few (probably zero) Ghanaians can brag of having ever done – that is grabbing the butts of two very beautiful movie stars simultaneously.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />In a photo posted online from the eurostar limousine prize presentation night, the dimunitive actor is sandwiched between the lovely Benedicta Gafah and Nana Ama McBrown and the position of his hands is quite concerning.<br /><br /><br /><br />‘Help me caption this’, Gafah wrote, and Ghanaians, of course, responded graciously.<br /><br /><br /><br />‘Awesome photo’, ‘I love this shot’ and some mainstream captions came, but others were far more hilarious.<br /><br /><br /><br />‘Small rat holding bread 10 cedis’ one commentor noted. ‘A lil mouse and two 5000 bread’ another wrote.<br /><br /><br /><br />‘The big boss owns everything’, another one wrote.
