The proverbial Ghana-Nigeria rivalry is set to
take a different twist at the Baba Yara Stadium
on Thursday, as Ghanaian actors and actresses
clash with their Nigerian counterparts.
Put together by Koba Consults and Marbizila
Company Limited, the event forms part of
activities marking Ghana's 57th independence
anniversary day celebration.
Organizers of the event indicated that the
determined Nigerian side began preparations for
the clash a few weeks ago, and would be
represented by heavyweights like Mr Ibu,
Patience Ozorkor, Desmond Elliot, Mercy
Johnson, Osoufia, Aki and Porpor and Victor
Osuagwu among other top stars.
Their Ghanaian counterparts will parade stars
like John Dumelo, Majid Michel, Prince David
Osei, Agya Koo, Akrobeto, Lil Wayn, James
Gardener, Jackie Appiah, Nana Ama Mc Brown
and others.
And like their Nigerian counterparts, the
Ghanaians, currently in a non residential camp,
have stepped up their training at the La Park,
Accra.
Dumelo and others will be rounding up their
training session in Accra tomorrow and move to
the Garden City of Kumasi the same day for the
game this Thursday.
CEO of Koba Consults, Swanzy Essuman, in an
interview said, "Certainly, the two games for the
actors and the actresses are set to ignite fun.
"It's Ghana's Independence Day celebration, it's
all about fun, taking stock of what our founding
fathers did for our beloved country, and our
Nigerian brothers have decided to join us in the
fun.
"It will be annualized and we are hoping to raise
money to support the Ghana Actors Guild," he
added. A cool rate of GH¢2 and GH¢5 would be
charged as gate fee and the monies that would
be raised will go to support the Ghana's Actors
Guild.
The Nigerians are expected in the country for
the showpiece tomorrow.
The event is being sponsored by Kenpong Travel
and Tours, Osons Chemists, Asuogyaman
Company Limited and Kings Express Travel and
Tours.
