Witchcraft, juju in Kumwood movies don’t make sense – Martha Ankomah
Actress Martha Ankomah has admitted that while she loves the storylines of Kumawood movies, she thinks the use of witchcraft and juju do not make sense.
This, she noted, is part of the reasons why she is unable to feature in any Kumawood movie.
In an interview with Andy Dosty on the ‘Muzik Box' on Hitz 103.9 FM, she said “I love Kumawood movies but what I dislike about their movies is the fetish stuff they inculcate into them.
“Apart from that, I love their storylines and they use to have really good movies like ‘Kumasi y)nko)' but of late most of their movies portray witchcraft and that does not motivate me to shoot with them,”
This notwithstanding, she said if she gets “a very good Kumawood story without witchcraft maybe I'll consider it. I'm not scared and it is not against my beliefs but for me, it sincerely doesn't make sense.”
The actress, who recently inaugurated her Martha Ankomah Foundation, went on to speak about some of the challenges faced by both the Ghanaian and Nigerian movie industries.
According to her, Ghanaians are tired of watching movies with the same storylines thus the low patronage.
“The truth of the matter is, people, say our movie industry is going down but I think we are working on it now suffice to say the problem is with the kind of movies we shoot now.
“I guess people are tired of all these old love stories and so some of us are trying to talk to the producers and directors to shoot very good movies. I mean movies with good moral values, movies that people can watch and learn something from and so that is what we are working on,” she noted.
Martha Ankomah added “my biggest challenge is that we don't really get roles like we used to especially those of us who go to Nigeria.”
“Nigerians pay very well but right now their economy is in a very bad shape and even when they call you, they would want to pay you very well but after calculating all that you've had to put into travelling and all, you'll realise you're on a losing end and wouldn't want to go after all,” she added.

“I Accepted A Bribe To Keep Mute After Seeing A Pastor Bonk A Colleague’s Wife In His Office” – Gospel Singer, Erico
Famous for competing in the Mentor competition, gospel artist Eric Oduro has shared how he exposed a senior pastor who was having an extramarital affair with a colleague's wife.
In his account of the incident on Adom TV's Okukuseku with Emelia Brobbey, Erico said that he had been hired to serve at a church in Nungua when the incident occurred.
It was his responsibility, he said, to oversee a spirit-filled ministry that would bring in the senior pastor to deliver a sermon to the congregation.
He stated he had to reroute his route and return to the church after doing his work and leaving the property because he had forgotten his glasses in the pastor's office.
Upon barging into the senior pastor's office, he said the scene that unfolded before him was so shocking that, to date, he occasionally gets flashbacks.
Erico recounted seeing the pastor pants down while banging the junior pastor's wife, who doubles as the church's secretary, on his desk.
As he snatched his spectacles and made attempts to quietly walk out, he said the pastor pleaded with him not to create a scene as church service was still ongoing.
In exchange for his silence, Erico claims the pastor offered him a substantial bribe, which he accepted.

“I Won’t Advice Myself To Date An Industry Person” – Gyakie
Ghanaian artist Gyakie has opened up about her misgivings about dating a man who works in the music or creative arts fields.
Although love is undoubtedly lovely, Gyakie stated in a recent interview with 3FM that romantic connections with individuals in your career could be challenging.
She would not be dating anyone in the industry for the time being, even if she accepted that love is erratic.
If there's another version of myself, I won't counsel myself to do that. As it might be quite risky, I wouldn't suggest doing that.
“Love is a beautiful thing. I wouldn't say it's wrong, but at the same time, right now, I wouldn't advise myself to be with an industry person,” Gyakie said.

Ghanaian dancer and dance coach Laud Anoo Konadu, known professionally as Dancegod Lloyd, has taken to his official X page to blow his own trumpet since the general public is refusing to give him flowers for his contribution to the Ghanaian music industry in the last few years.

After Legendary Paa Tee and Adjetey Sowah's era, I played the biggest role in giving the dance industry in Ghana a face in modern day Entertainment. The evidence is there. The number of No.1 songs my dance has influenced…
