Outspoken popular Ghanaian actress Lydia Forson has been honoured by
the Accra branch of internationally acclaimed Rotary Club for
contributing towards Ghana's movie industry and society in general.
She was presented framed certificates at a ceremony dubbed Time With
Lydia Forson at the Maxlot Hotel in Accra on Thursday.
The ceremony was attended by majority of the club's members.
Lydia is an actress with few movie credits but is still relevant in
the growing movie industry.
She rose through the ranks from being an actress to a producer.
She is currently endearing herself to the public as a very good
orator and a great social commentator.
The Rotary recognition comes in the wake of attacks on her personality
for asking the President of Ghana, John Mahama,to fix Ghana's current
energy crisispopularly called "dumsor."
She and fellow actress Yvonne Nelson have been labelled prostitutes by
one Alhaji Halidu Haruna, a presidential staffer in the ruling
National Democratic Congress. But such comments appear not to have
deterred the ladies.
At the ceremony, Lydia gave a talk on her career as an actress and
also the challenges she has faced.
After that, members of the club also asked questions and she took
time to answer them before she was finally honoured.
One of the interesting questions that came up at the ceremony was why
she doesn't focus on being an actress but meddles in other public
issues.
But she told them she is a Ghanaian and nothing stops her from letting
people know her perspective on issues of national importance.
