Ghanaian local actress, Rose Mensah popularly
known as Kyeiwaa has been accused by Isaac
Rockson, Public Relations Officer for Kumawood
and Akoben Movie Awards of disgracing Ghana.
At a press conference held in Kumasi by Mr.
Paul Adjei of Paul Gee Productions on 6th
March for the press to interact with Patience
Ozokwor aka Mama G, who was in Kumasi to
shoot a movie, Mama Africa; Rose Mensah who
was addressing the press said it is a dream come
true for her, starring in the same movie with
the multiple award-winning Nigerian actress. She
said many people have been questioning her
ability to act with English speaking actors
because of her inability to speak the queen's
language.
The comic actress stated that due to the prayers
of her fans, God has been good to her and the
doors have opened for her to work with one of
the best actresses in Africa.
"People were crying for me asking how I was
going to act with this woman who has featured
in over 200 movies because of her experience. I
thank God for this dream come true because
now people will be surprised when they see how
I acted with her.
This statement made by Kyeiwaa was described
by the PRO of Kumawood and Akoben Movie
Awards, Isaac Rockson as disdain of integrity.
According to him, "why should Kyeiwaa wait for
an international actress to come to Ghana and
work with her before she realizes she is good
for the international market? If her values and
works do not lift her to that international
standard, what will Ozorkwo's one movie do for
her?"
These questions by him distracted the press
conference hosted at Ceeta-kel Hotel in Asokwa
for some minutes as the media present kept
discussing the importance of his criticisms. Dave
Hammer, MC for the night said those questions
raised by Rockson should be asked when radio
and TV stations are reviewing entertainment
stories but not when they convened to interact
with Patience Ozokwor, the Enugu State born
actress.
Despite the MCs effort to prevent answers for
Mr. Rockson's questions, the director for the
yet-to-be-released movie, Mama Africa, Director
Bentum aka Director 1 said everybody works to
meet some people in their lives to realize their
career is growing.
"There are popular footballers in Ghana, but
they all dream to play for an international team
someday. Kyeiwaa is now happy that she is going
international because she is working with
international actors. What we know is that most
at times is the English actors who work with
them, but now the Kumawood actors have had
the opportunity to work with them as well. She
is happy that, she being an illiterate has had the
opportunity to work with glamour actress
because it rarely happens." Director Bentum
answered.
Isaac Rockson who spoke to Zionfelix.com
complained bitterly that "why should you
disgrace Ghana to foreigners because you are
working for money?"
'Mama Africa 'is Paul Gee produced movie which
features Patience Ozokwor, Kwadwo Nkansah Lil
Win, Akrobeto, Maame Serwaa, Rose Mensah and
other Kumawood actors.
