"How Can I Perform Whilst Drunk" - Amakyi Dede Asks

Highlife living legend and show stopper Daniel Amakyi Dede aka “Seeeeerious” has denied allegations that he was drunk or high before he got on stage to perform at the just ended “Black and White” concert which took place at the Accra International Conference Centre on Friday December 13, 2013.

After the well-produced and well organized event, there were comments from most people who attended the show that the known great performer was not his usual-self on stage as he kept staggering and looking very unstable during his much anticipated performance.

Speaking on Peace FM’s “Entertainment Review” Abrantie wondered why he would get drunk and come on stage “Oh! No not at all. How can I get drunk to perform on a show?

Asked whether he thought he performed well on stage, he said “Well for me, I think I did okay...You know the show was not my show because there were other artistes on the bill so I couldn't perform more hours as I'm used to performing on my own show...but the little I did I think it was alright”, Amakyi Dede emphasized.

A report in Monday December 16 2013 edition of Graphic Showbiz with the headline “Amakyi Dede slips badly”, best captures his performance. In the report, Editor of the paper Nanabenyin Dadson writes “First timers at an Amakye Dede live concert must have walked away from the Accra International Conference Centre last Friday with a poor impression of the veteran highlife musician.

For such a well-organized and well-publicized Black & White concert at which Amakye Dede was considered to be the star performer, the “Abrantie”, as he is fondly called, slipped badly.

He was straining a bit too hard, he was missing his cues with the band, and he spoke too much and could hardly stay on his feet. This was hardly vintage Amakye Dede”.

Meanwhile African Dancehall King Samini who was one of the two headline artistes, gave yet another good account of himself on stage taking over the show as always with great interaction with the audience and his random freestyle performance with whatever was going on in the auditorium. He managed to keep the crowd on their feet dancing all through.

Castro De Destroyer also thrilled the appreciable crowd with his performance playing with live band like a pro. Legendary George Jahraa and young Kwabena Akwaboah were simply great. Guru of Lapaz Toyota fame did not quite have a good evening going off key and screaming unnecessarily.

The event was put together by Events Factory.

Public Masturbation Has Been Declared Legal In Sweden

On June 6, 2013 a 65-year-old man took off his shorts at a beach near Stockholm and began masturbating into the ocean. According to Swedish newsite, The Local ; the man was charged with sexual assault, but was acquitted last week after a judge ruled that he was not targeting a specific person. The prosecutor even implied that it was “okay” to play with yourself in public! Public Prosecutor,   Olof Vrethammar said: “For this to be a criminal offence it’s required that the sexual molestation was directed towards one or more people. I think the court’s judgement is reasonable. With that we can conclude that it is okay to masturbate on the beach.” Vrethammar however agreed that in the future, public masturbation might be considered disorderly conduct. The ruling in this case comes just three months after Sweden’s last major sex scandal. Okay, I just had to chip this one in… The Swedish police in Stockholm also announced that same June, 2013 that a man who RAPES

                    Thursday August 29, 2013, shall forever remain a historic day in the lives of Ghanaians. But like any ordinary day, it certainly marks the last day on earth for some people and the first for others. Coincidently the number “29” seems to have some uncanny importance as the major persons involved  in the 2012 Election petition,  John Dramani Mahama and Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, were both born on the 29 th- John was on the 29 th November and Nana 29 th March. Though President John Mahama has not yet celebrated his birthday this year, some of his fans expressed the belief that this is a memorable day for him and the party. Consequently, out of sheer curiosity, The General Telegraph visited some health facilities in Accra just to find out the number of babies born on this historic day with the auspicious hope that they might all turn into great personalities someday.
