Upper West Region Evicted From Ghana’s Most Beautiful

Rafi, I am sorry but you cannot be two times lucky’, were the words from Nana Abena Afriyie, a co judge, as Rafi, the representative of Northern Region was evicted from the TV3’s Ghana’s Most Beautiful programme. The other judge was Dr. Agyemang Osei, artistic director of Abibigroma, resident drama group of National Theatre.

The programme came on late due to the on-going Fifa Confederation Tournament in South Africa. The contestants lighted the stage with traditional dance amidst singing and clapping. Audience were as usual delighted and enjoying themselves as the girls danced and shake their back sizes and frequently holding their breast in am-ready-come-suck-fashion. That drew more applause from the audience. Professor Dada Nii, a Ghanaian music tutor based in Australia treated the audience to a wonderful performance.

There was no theme for this week’s show as the girls educated the audience in their selected roles from their various regions. Knowing very well their colleague from Ashanti Region evicted and that any of them could be evicted this week, the girls defied the fear factor and performed creditably to the admiration of the audience. Naa Dedei from the Greater Accra Region was the first to grace the stage to depict the twin festival of the people of her region. Ga’s have a unique way of naming their children.

‘The twin festival comes on before, the Homowo, which is celebrated by the Ga people from the Greater Accra Region of Ghana’, she intoned. She made reference to the names like ‘Oko ke Akweley’, Oko ke Akuetteh’ and their slogans. She held the audience spellbound and made sure they ask for more. They in turn, clapped intermittently through out her performance to climax a good night for Greater Accra Region. Her only weakness was her constant mispronunciation of basic Ga terms which attracted jeers from the audience. In fact, it made my head ache.

Anas, Afia and Enam from Central, Brong Ahafo and Volta Regions respectively performed marvelously and gave a good account of themselves. Upper East Region representative, Lamisi was very confusing in her delivery; she made the audience look stupid by listening to her.

Performing Wanzam (female genital mutilation) and simultaneously condemning it, made her look funny on stage, she was lucky to have escaped eviction (personal opinion) though. Yaa (Eastern) as a seller, Rafi (Upper West) as a shear butter seller, Akasi (Western) as herbalist, Nasara (Northern) as a soothsayer followed later and made their various regions proud but Rafi stole the night (personal opinion).

Unfortunately, Rafi from Upper West region got the least votes and was evicted. Audience were informed of another eviction next week. Professor Dada Nii, ended the night with another song from his repertoire.
