President of Creative Arts Council, Mark Okraku Mantey talks about former HIV & AIDS ambassador Joyce Dzidzor Mensah. According to him, she isn’t intelligent as some people think<\/p>\n
Moreover, Okraku Mantey described Joyce as someone who only seeks attention with the aim to be popular. Mark made these statements on the panel on Hitz FM.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think she wants to become popular. I have been monitoring her over the years; almost everything that she does is to get people to talk about her over months. Some of them are very dirty\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Furthermore, a video made rounds on social media during the week. In the video, Dzidor was on a train begging for funds from the passengers.<\/p>\n
According to her, Ghana is in dire need of funds to put up a church \u201cfor Jesus Christ to come and live in Ghana because we have too much (sic) problems.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe do not have enough schools for the children, we do not have enough drinking water, we do not have ambulances so when people fall sick they die\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
However, majority of Ghanaians found the video offensive as it ridicules the country, and Mark is one of such people.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou decided to sell Ghana in this form and you went this low to ridicule Ghana forgetting that your country first\u2026 the Akans have a saying that you don\u2019t point your home with a left finger. So no matter how bad it is, you solve your problems within. You don\u2019t go out there and sell the whole country to the world as if we don\u2019t know what we are about. It is rather unfortunate she is a creative person and this is how she gives creative people a pay back and we must show our protest that this is not how we creative people think\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
He continued,<\/p>\n
\u201cIf she thinks she has ideas \u2026do more pieces on malaria, people throwing oranges through car windows, etc. There are a lot of problems she can use acting to solve instead of this. I think she wants to become popular. I have been monitoring her over the years; almost everything that she does is to get people to talk about her over months. Some of them are very dirty. And so it takes time to take her as a serious person even if she means well. I never talk about her issues but this very one\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
