AFTER<br />

MANY years<br />

of being absent<br />

from<br />

acting, actress<br />

Grace<br />

Omaboe will be on stage at<br />

the National Theatre on<br />

February 14, 2018.<br />

The veteran actress, popularly<br />

known as Maame<br />

Dokono, will be playing a<br />

role in the play ‘Love is Politics.’<br />

She will certainly bring<br />

up nostalgic memories for<br />

anyone who was an ardent<br />

viewer of Ghanaian teleplay<br />

‘By the Fireside.’<br />

Over the years, she has<br />

graced the big screens and<br />

stages with her exceptional<br />

acting abilities but nothing<br />

can be compared to the life<br />

she brought as she sang and<br />

danced while narrating the<br />

events of the folkloric mischievous<br />

character Ananse<br />

on ‘By the Fireside.’<br />

The day dedicated to love<br />

will have the veteran actress<br />

bringing to life the role of a<br />

mother who sends a wife<br />

from the village to her son<br />

who has come off age.<br />

‘Love is Politics,’ a romantic<br />

stage comedy produced<br />

by the 2 Idiots<br />

Productions will also feature<br />

Jeneral Ntatia, Doctor So<br />

and Pearl Korkor Darkey.<br />

The play promises to be<br />

exciting, rib-cracking with a<br />

twist of romance.<br />

Lawyer Ampau’s mum is<br />

pressurizing him to get married<br />

so she sends him a wife<br />

from the village. Lawyer<br />

Ampau tells his houseboy to<br />

pretend to be him when the<br />

girl arrives because he is<br />

busy with a case. The girl<br />

on the other hand is planted<br />

in the house for the selfish<br />

interest of a client to prevent<br />

Lawyer Ampau from<br />

focusing on winning the<br />

case without the knowledge<br />

of the mother.<br />

Will Lawyer Ampau succeed<br />

in winning the case or<br />

he will be blinded by love<br />

and lose this important case<br />

of his life time?<br />

Everybody is in this game<br />

of love for their own selfish<br />

individual purpose.<br />

50 Cent forgot he had a stash of Bitcoin now worth $8m<br />

50 CENT has discovered that he is a Bitcoin<br />

millionaire, thanks to some long-forgotten<br />

album sales.<br />

In 2014, he released the album ‘Animal<br />

Ambition’ and became the first artist to<br />

accept Bitcoin as payment.<br />

The rapper received more than 700<br />

Bitcoins under the deal, but then forgot<br />

about the cryptocurrency, according to<br />

celebrity news site TMZ.<br />

The hoard is worth $7-$8m, although<br />

the currency’s price volatility means that<br />

could change fast.<br />

In 2014, one Bitcoin was equivalent to<br />

about $662, but was worth about $11,200<br />

on Thursday, according to Coindesk.<br />

“Not bad for a kid from South Side,<br />

I’m so proud of me,” 50 Cent – whose<br />

real name is Curtis Jackson – wrote on Instagram,<br />

confirming the news in a post<br />

that featured a screenshot of the TMZ article.<br />

50 Cent also posted a picture of himself<br />

on Instagram surrounded by Bitcoins,<br />

with the caption: “A little Bitcoin<br />

anyone? LOL. l know l make you sick but<br />

excuse me I’m getting to the bag.”<br />

Over the last 12 months, several<br />

celebrities have been paid to promote and<br />

endorse various virtual currencies on social<br />

media. CNN
