Bring back Nana Aba Anamoah campaign launched
A solidarity campaign has begun to bring back long serving news anchor of TV3 Nana Aba Anamoah who is serving an indefinite suspension for what managers of TV3 say is misconduct.
The anchor has been trending on facebook and Twitter for over a week now after it emerged she had tweeted a thoroughly edited photograph of a Ghanaian football fan watching a game at Old Trafford.
Critics say the manner in which the photograph was edited and posted on her twitter
handle subtly created the impression as though she was at Old Trafford when she was not.
Authorities at TV3 have taken a serious view of the conduct of the TV star and have since suspended her.
In a statement to announce her suspension, the private TV station said “after preliminary investigations internally, and in accordance with TV3's own commitment to the highest level of professionalism, management has decided to take Nana Aba Anamoah off air until further notice.”
“As a broadcast network that prides itself in upholding high ethical standards and delivering credible and trustworthy content to its viewers, TV3 would like to assure viewers and other key stakeholders that it shall continue to take all necessary steps to maintain such standards.”
Her suspension appears to be gaining equal measure of criticism as was her initial tweet that landed her in trouble.
Ace lawyer Ace Ankomah believes the suspension was like using a sledge hammer to kill an ant.
Some fans of the TV goddess have since moved to launch a campaign appealing to TV3 to bring back Nana Aba Anamoah.
Dubbed the #bringbackNanaAba campaign, the group is asking the TV station to let sleeping dogs lie and allow the TV star to return to the screens.
A member of that campaign, and Ghanaian comedian popularly called DKB told Joy News the campaign is not to mount pressure on TV3 but to show solidarity to a colleague and to appeal to the TV station to rescind its decision.
“TV3 should tamper justice with mercy. I do not know what code of ethics she breached. I can't go into fairness and all that. I will leave that to the lawyers. I am just doing my part to draw attention to the fact that we love her and we enjoy her on TV. It will be very awkward to tune into the morning show and he is not there for a long time,” DKB said.
He accused Ghanaians in general of being too hard on the lady.
“She committed a blunder, yes, but the mockery was too much. It looked like people were just waiting to explode on her,” he said.

“I’m Not Bothered About Shatta Wale Mocking My Disability; It Speaks A Lot About Him” – Stonebwoy (Video)
There's an old video on the internet with multiple award-winning reggae-dancehall kings Stonebwoy talking about the ongoing abuse he gets from fellow artist Shatta Wale.
About the incident that almost claimed the lives of him, his sister, and his father, Stonebwoy spoke candidly.
When he experienced the accident, Stonebwoy claims to have been 14 years old. He revealed they were getting ready to go on a trip overseas when a police cruiser slammed into them.
He told how his sister, who is currently overseas, is still experiencing pain from the accident and how it severely damaged his leg.
Stonebwoy said, “Shatta's actions only prove how naive he is,” when asked how he felt about Shatta Wale continuously making fun of him for his limp.
He continued by saying that Shatta Wale's acts just demonstrate his ignorance of the complexity of human nature and the hardships that certain individuals must face in order to thrive.
Shatta Wale has made it a point to criticize Stonebwoy and call him “apakye” for constantly limping over the last several days.

“I Spend 800 Cedis Daily Whenever I’m In Accra” – Kyekyeku Reveals
In anticipation of the release of his film “1957,” Ghanaian actor Kyekyeku has shared details about his everyday costs since moving to Accra.
He said that the expense of living in Accra is more than it was in Kumasi, where he used to live and where the cost of products and services is lower.
The actor revealed that he spends between GH¢700 and GH¢800 a day on food, petrol, and other costs when talking about how he manages the cost of living.
Though the expense of living in Accra is high, the city itself is lovely. While costs in Accra are slightly higher than in Kumasi, they are still reasonable. A GH¢20 item in Kumasi will cost GH¢25 in Accra. To some extent, I guess that's because it's the capital city.
“Considering fuel, food, and other small expenses, I could spend between GH¢700 and GH¢800 with my daily expenses,” Kyekyeku stated in an interview with Zionfelix.
He traveled from Kumasi to Accra lately in order to be ready for the debut of his movie, 1957, and to get to know the locals, he said in response to a question about why he did so.
