It seems the recent upsurge in celebrities endorsing political parties and flagbearers has assumed a worrying level where core fans of such stars now trade insults on social media and other media platforms.
Creative Director at Bullhaus Entertainment, Lawrence Asiamah Hanson popularly known as BULLDOG took to his Facebook timeline saying “I didn’t know His Excellency President Mahama was a movie director… Ghanafuo ni gyimiee.”
But few minutes after his post on Facebook, it generated a heated argument with a core fan of his (Bulldog) who replied to his “Ghanafuo ni gyimiee” literally meaning Ghanaians and their foolishness, comment that in Bulldog’s quest to support President Mahama, he commended him for helping to develop the creative industry contrary to the views of other industry players who thought otherwise.
Bulldog in an attempt to explain what he meant by “Ghanaians and their Foolishness” said he ONLY referred to the ace actor Agya Koo for his statement about President Mahama being the cause of his not getting roles in movies in the past five years.
Meanwhile the former manager of Shatta Wale has mounted defense for Mahama-led NDC government. According to him, Ghana is just 58 years old and still gathering techniques, skills, methods and processes to ensure that she is able to match up to the standards of the Western World. He called on Ghanaians to stop blaming President Mahama for the hardship in the country now.
The star actor has commenced a political campaign dubbed ‘Agenda 57% 4 Nana Addo’, together with fellow Actress, Matilda Asare.
