“I believe I can do it. My victory is divinely ordained,” she told Asempa Enkosii Sen’s host, Osei Bonsu Tuesday.

“I am not just a woman but a woman of substance with good political standing. Integrity is my key principle in life. I always stand for the truth and believe one good turn deserves another,” she continued.

According to her, she has the ability to annex the national organiser position, emphasizing her victory is not farfetched.

“I believe one has to relax while playing this game [campaigning]. I speak less anytime I meet the delegates. Maximum time I spent speaking to them [delegates] is 3 minutes. I still have some constituencies to cover.”

Despite being considered a woman with ‘iron fist’, Ms Desoso’s weakness is when she is betrayed by a loved one.

Hot Audio: Arrest Anita Desoso – Ken Agyapong https://www.adomonline.com/hot-audio-arrest-anita-desoso-ken-agyapong/ https://www.adomonline.com/hot-audio-arrest-anita-desoso-ken-agyapong/#comments Tue, 31 Oct 2017 11:12:11 +0000 http://35.232.176.128/ghana-news/?p=623451 Member of Parliament (MP) for Assin Central, Kennedy Agyapong has directed the security agencies to arrest the First Vice Chairperson of the National Democratic Congress, Anita De Sosoo,

Kennedy Agyapong could not fathom why the police fail to act when NDC is in power but suddenly find power in cases involving suspected NPP sympathizers.

After recounting a series of alleged criminal cases involving some NDC bigwigs, the outspoken MP challenged the police to be fair in their dealings and go after Anita De Sosoo as crime has no political colour.

“I have pictures of Anita Desoso and what she did at Atiwa, today the NDC members are here complaining. I am not condoning their lawlessness but I urge the police to go and arrest Anita for running over people at Atiwa. He needs to be taught a lesson” he said on Adom TV’s Morning Show “Badwam” Tuesday.

Kennedy Agyapong’s comment is in connection with the recent attacks on state institutions by vigilante groups affiliated to the NPP.

The commitment of the Akufo-Addo government was called into question following heightened acts of violence undertaken by vigilante groups affiliated to the governing NPP.

In most of the instances, arrests are not made, and in the few instances of arrests, the suspects are either released later or serve lenient punishments when they are tried in court.

But Kennedy Agyapong urged the police to also arrest Anita De Sosoo for questioning as they embark on arresting hoodlums in their post-election operations.

De Sosoo, he said, run into a group of NPP followers with her vehicle at Atiwa and in the process injured tens of their party followers.

The police, Mr Agyapong added only take action against known NPP members when issues of attack on NDC followers comes up but treats members of the NDC with kid gloves on same.

According to him, the vigilante groups associated with the NPP are storming public offices and seizing items because the same practice was undertaken by the youth of the NDC when they were in power and nothing happened.

But Ken Agyapong maintained that he does not support vandalism by the youth of the NPP.

Listen to Ken Agyapong

Afia Schwarzenegger ‘cries like a baby’ in a discussion with Anita Erskine https://www.adomonline.com/afia-schwarzenegger-cries-like-baby-discussion-anita-erskine/ https://www.adomonline.com/afia-schwarzenegger-cries-like-baby-discussion-anita-erskine/#comments Mon, 11 Sep 2017 07:03:23 +0000 http://35.232.176.128/ghana-news/?p=480231 Anita Erskine has shared an extensive post talking about the ‘fragile’ side of popular radio and tv personality Valentina Agyeiwaa also known as Afia Schwarzenegger which most social media users have not had the privilege to observe.

Award-winning women’s advocate, Anita Erskine has added her voice to celebrities seeking justice for fellow TV personality and actress, Afia Schwarzenegger, whose scandalous sexual video, allegedly recorded by her ex-husband, Lawrence Abrokwa for cheating went viral across all media platforms across the country.

In a video seeped online, Afia was seen crying and begging her ex-husband, Mr. Abrokwa who threatened to pour acid on her and her lover after he budged on them naked in bed.

Read the post below…….

Anita writes…

This morning, I spent some quality time with my friend Afia Schwarzenegger. We chatted about motherhood, woman hood, work/life balance, the media industry and everything else in between. We laughed at some things. But then, as naturally as the current environment would have it, our conversation glided into her life over the last 144 hours and counting!

A gorgeously hefty blend of humiliation, fear, confusion, emotional torture and above all, abandonment. Our conversation spotlighted everything from the night of the now famously infamous #AfiaAffairgate to the importance of teaching her daughter Pena different languages.

As much as I didn’t want to come off as a nosy reporter, my genuine zeal to discover and uncover stories for the sake of lifting my voice and roaring out the need to fight for justice for Women, reared its ugly head. And I asked the question of doom. “Afia what happened that day?” At first, she smiled…..and then as if the veins in her throat were about to burst, she began to speak.

Half way through, she broke down. I let her cry it out and waited a few minutes, distracting myself with her daughter, Pena, who was seated at my feet, happily distracted by cartoons. After a while, we resumed our conversation and spoke at length.

We spoke about second chances and purpose. Here’s what I learned this morning…..

1) If Journalists swore an Oath before assuming office or going out into the field of work, the way doctors and lawyers do, we would consciously research, powerfully inform, thoroughly follow through and aggressively protect the subjects of our stories.

2) Every human being, no matter how overtly and overly boisterous, seemingly nonchalant, can indeed hurt baldy and be broken into tiny pieces in a way that can have an eventual wholesome destruction if other parties don’t intervene.

3) Women, in particular, own what I call “The Skill to Create the Fabulous Art called Covering Up…” be it abuse, violence other anything that clearly poses as a threat to their lives.

For a very vocal generation, with the internet at our mercy, our silence is horribly loud! We maintain our silence about the truth that hurts us and would rather showcase a “forced” strength, camouflaged in laughter, smiles and terms of endearment, in order to protect and shield the ones we love (even when we know they don’t love us back). And we have to start speaking up loudly and fighting back harder. Here’s what I concluded after the hearty discussion with @queenafiaschwarzenegger.

Afia’s life is exactly that….her’s. It’s as simple as that. As a full grown adult, how she lives it and with whom for that matter, is her choice.

As a citizen, human being and Woman, her protection is our’s…….ESPECIALLY when a clearly domestic affair, has become a public circus.

She said something that hit and stung me into shame “If these threats were made towards any other woman and this video had been circulated with any other woman as the victim, every security agency, law enforcement body and social group would jump into action to protect her and prosecute the man….but I am Afia Schwarzenegger so you’re all going to sit, watch, laugh and say I deserve it….you forget that after everything is said and done, I am a human being and blood runs through my veins just like you.”

Rashida's video: Leave Anita Erskine alone; Jesus ‘welcomed’ prostitutes – Lydia Forson https://www.adomonline.com/rashidas-video-leave-anita-erskine-alone-jesus-welcomed-prostitutes-lydia-forson/ Sat, 29 Jul 2017 09:19:48 +0000 http://35.232.176.128/ghana-news/?p=341851 Actress Lydia Forson spits fire on a section of the public who are condemning Anita Erskine for reaching out to Rashida Black Beauty over her release of “nude” video, noting that Jesus Christ did same by reaching out to Mary Magdalene who was a prostitute.
According to the movie star, she is shocked some Ghanaians are unhappy with radio personality “Anita Erskine” for not condemning the act of Rashida Black Beauty but instead reaching out to her.
The obviously peeved Miss Forson shared the post on her Instagram page.
“So Anita is in trouble because she didn’t insult Rasheeda, she didn’t give her a stern reproach, she didn’t call her a shame to womanhood, wasn’t singled out to represent all women and condemned for it?
“Anita is in trouble for reaching out, and trying to help a girl clearly in need of it? She’s in trouble for doing what NONE of us did? Wow”
“If you listen to the likes of Mannaseh they’ll have you believe that people cannot be reformed, that they can’t amount to anything because of their past”
“That video should break your heart; break your heart that people in the country have to grow up in an environment so bad that this seems “NORMAL”.
As religious as he is he forgets the story of Mary Magdalene, the prostitute, the loose woman, the one men like Manasseh in the bible turned their noses at but Jesus welcomed with open arms,”
“Today the bible makes several references to her, and do we look at her with disgust? No, she represents Gods forgiving nature and repentance”
“His lack of comprehension makes him misinterpret any attempt at speaking up for a victim as “condoning” the act. (And he did the same with the whole Hamamat issue). You don’t have to like a person, their choices or their lifestyle to support them when you think they need it most”
“It’s OUR collective responsibility to make sure we create an environment where girls like Racheeda can be saved from themselves. Don’t let the privilege of your upbringing fool you; any of us born in certain environments could have turned out this way. She’s no different from the Kayaye girls, or the “streets girls with several children, she’s no different from the girls pimped into prostitution; all these girls had no one looking out for them, grew up in an environment where they had very few options.
And even if she had grown up privileged, privilege doesn’t always shield you from making bad choices; and when you do your only saving grace is someone who cares.”
“At Anita Erskine I CELEBRATE YOU on being what we all ought to be, our neighbours keeper, better christians ( for those who’re religious) and even better citizens for the self proclaimed patriots. You’re either a part of a problem or a solution” she averred.
