Kofi Dagarti: Pull down publication and render apology to Dagara/Dagaba–Winneba Lecturer to Agyakoo
Wilson Dabuo, a lecturer in History at the University of Education Winneba and a resident of Nandom in the Upper West Region, is expressing his disapproval of a movie series titled ‘KOFI DAGARTI’ that is currently being circulated. Apexnewsgh.com The movie, produced by Honey Jones Production and directed by Richard N. Appiah, is scheduled to have its premiere on December 10, 2023. Mr. Dabuo strongly believes that the producers of the movie are wrongfully and unacceptably glorifying their work, which he believes goes against the sentiments of the Dagara/Dagabas community. “We are therefore, by this statement calling on the Ministry of Tourism, Arts And Culture and the Manager and/or Producer Official. Agyakoo of this movie to take the necessary steps to pull the publication down, discontinue its premièring and render an unequivocal apology to the Dagara/Dagaba people of Ghana and the world at large”. The statement demands Read full statement below: This is so so wrong and unacceptable. One would have thought that in this 21st century, we have long past these uncivilities of disrespect and intolerance of one ethnic group against another in Ghana, but no, this is one clear publication, fully manifesting that we are still in the dark days of colonialism. We the Dagara people of Ghana, parts of Burkina Faso, Togo, Cote d’Ivoire and those of Mali take a strong exception to this film production titled: “KOFI DAGARTI”. We are therefore, by this statement calling on the Ministry of Tourism, Arts And Culture and the Manager and/or Producer Official. Agyakoo of this movie to take the necessary steps to pull the publication down, discontinue its premièring and render an unequivocal apology to the Dagara/Dagaba people of Ghana and the world at large. The use of the Dagara pejorative “Kofi Dagarti” in your movie production is with significant implications. What you must know is that the term “Kofi Dagarti” is derogatory and often used to stereotype or mock individuals from the Dagara ethnic group. This is particularly common in the Asante region. The use of pejorative terms like “Kofi Dagarti” in movie productions such as yours raises concerns not only about cultural insensitivity but also about the perpetuation of harmful stereotypes and the potential impact on social dynamics. These terms we are aware were rooted in historical prejudices and originated from among European anthropologists and highly used and publicize by the Asante people who were noted to have such flirtatious attitude of discrimination or bias towards other ethnic groups and particularly the Dagara settlements in the Asante Chiefdom. These pejoratives remain debated issues and We do not want to go into that painful past of our history. Therefore, incorporating such language in your movie is seen as a deliberate agenda to perpetuate negative stereotypes, reinforce biases, and contribute to cultural insensitivity in this country. This attempt can alienate as it offends members of the Dagara community and perpetuate harmful narratives. As a Filmmaker you owe it a responsibility to exercise caution when handling cultural and ethnic references, ensuring that your work promotes inclusivity and respect. This particular production does not ensure inclusivity, it is divisive and bigotry. The inappropriate use of pejoratives can lead to backlash, controversies, and negatively impact the reputation of your movie. It is essential for creators like you to be mindful of the cultural implications of the content you produce and strive to foster understanding and unity rather than perpetuating stereotypes or contributing to division. By incorporating such pejoratives, you are reinforcing negative perceptions and contributing to the marginalization of specific ethnic or cultural groups in Ghana. Originality in movie productions should be approached with cultural sensitivity, avoiding the reproduction of harmful stereotypes and derogatory language. Let us take for example that the term “Kofi Dargati” as appeared on your flyer is used as a character name or descriptor, it may inadvertently reinforce stereotypes about the Dagara people, portraying them in a one-dimensional and negative light. This lack of originality perpetuates harmful narratives rather than challenging or subverting them. Obviously, this is not the way to entertain and educate a people of a nation with a multidimensional cultural background. Best practice, Filmmakers world wide have a responsibility to engage in thoughtful storytelling that promotes diversity, challenges stereotypes, and fosters a more inclusive representation of various cultures. Originality in movie production should involve creating characters and narratives that go beyond clichés and encourage audiences to appreciate the complexity and richness of different cultural backgrounds. This approach not only contributes to a more positive viewing experience but also aligns with the principles of cultural respect and understanding.

More than 700 killed as Israel’s increased strikes across Gaza-Palestinians say
In the past day, Israeli airstrikes in the Gaza Strip have rapidly expanded and tragically resulted in the deaths of over 700 individuals, according to health officials. This has had a devastating impact on medical facilities in the area, with many forced to close due to bombing damage and a lack of power. The death toll from these airstrikes is unprecedented in the long-standing Israeli-Palestinian conflict and raises concerns about further loss of life in Gaza. Israeli ground forces, supported by tanks and artillery, are expected to launch an offensive into the territory with the aim of crushing Hamas. As a result of Israel sealing off the territory after the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas militants on towns in southern Israel, the people of Gaza, numbering 2.3 million, have been experiencing intensifying bombardment and are facing shortages of food, water, and medicine. Israel has reported conducting a total of 400 airstrikes on Tuesday, taking out key Hamas leaders, targeting militants in the midst of rocket launch preparations, and striking command centers and a Hamas tunnel shaft. The previous day, Israel had conducted 320 airstrikes. Witnesses and health officials have noted that numerous residential buildings were impacted by the airstrikes, particularly in the southern Gaza region where Israel had previously advised civilians to seek refuge.

Lauren Boebert apologizes again over behavior at theater
Lauren Boebert, the far-right Colorado congresswoman, issued a second apology for her recent controversial theatre incident. Apexnewsgh.com reported During a performance of Beetlejuice: The Musical, Boebert openly vaped in the audience, engaged in inappropriate behavior with her companion, and was involved in a graphic incident. The incident was captured on security camera footage. During an interview with the conservative One America News Network, Boebert attributed her behavior to being “maybe overtly animated.” She suggested that her extroverted nature somehow merged with the theatrics of the show, which was described by the New York Times as a “jaw-dropping funhouse.” “I was laughing, I was singing, having a fantastic time, was told to kinda settle it down a little bit, which I did, but then, my next slip up was taking a picture,” she told the network about her date a week earlier. “I was a little too eccentric … I’m on the edge of a lot of things.” Her remarks added to a written apology offered on Friday in which she said she was “truly sorry for the unwanted attention my … evening in Denver [on Sunday, 10 September] has brought to the community” and that her actions she “simply fell short” of her values. Meanwhile, additional information about Boebert’s companion to Beetlejuice – whom she has been dating for months – introduced even more complexity to an already perplexing picture of their night out. Quinn Gallagher, a 46-year-old bar owner who supports the Democratic party, faced an incident at a theater in Aspen, Colorado. Gallagher’s bar is known for hosting LGBTQ+ and drag events, such as the women’s party for Aspen Gay Ski Week and the Winter Wonderland Burlesque & Drag Show. However, this clashed with the views of the US House member, who was also present at the theater. During the performance of the family-friendly show, Beetlejuice, the House member, whose name is Boebert, was asked to cease vaping, refrain from taking pictures, and stop groping Gallagher in the audience. These actions were deemed inappropriate for the setting and caused both individuals to be ejected from the Buell theatre. It’s worth noting that Boebert has been outspokenly critical of drag shows in the past, expressing her views via a social media platform, now known as X. Criticism against Boebert has only intensified since her first apology, with some conservative commentators spending the weekend calling her out. “Totally embarrassing bimbo,” conservative pundit Ann Coulter wrote on X. Jenna Ellis, a former attorney for ex-president Donald Trump, called the behavior “embarrassing and disrespectful”. According to a Buell theatre security report obtained by 9News Denver, Boebert and Gallagher had been “vaping, singing, causing a disturbance”. Boebert reportedly asked “Do you know who I am?” when they were asked to leave. Source: Apexnewsgh.com/Ghana For publication please kindly contact us on 0256336062 or Email: apexnewsgh@gmail.com
Joe Jonas And Sophie Turner’s Split Rumour shocks internet
Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner have been one of the most beloved celebrity couples since they started dating in 2016. Robert Kamau / GC Images They got engaged a year later, and in 2019 they got married in Las Vegas before having a second wedding ceremony in France. David Crotty / Patrick McMullan via Getty Images In 2020, Joe and Sophie became parents as they welcomed their first child together, with their second daughter born in July of last year. Dimitrios Kambouris / Getty Images for The Met Museum/Vogue While the couple have always maintained a level of privacy around their relationship, what fans have been privy to has always been extremely positive. Kevin Mazur / Getty Images for Philymack In fact, Sophie has gained a bit of a reputation for the way that she gently roasts her husband — like the time that she posted about his ex girlfriend Taylor Swift’s song “Mr. Perfectly Fine,” which is thought to have been inspired by Joe. Instagram @SophieT / Via Instagram: @sophiet She also won high praise for her witty jokes during Netflix’s Jonas Brothers Family Roast in 2021. Netflix And just last month she was spotted looking every bit the proud wife as the Jonas Brothers’ new tour kicked off in New York City, with Sophie being pictured alongside Kevin Jonas and Nick Jonas’s wives in the crowd. Kevin Mazur / Getty Images for The Recording Academy The 27-year-old actor also posted about the show on her Instagram account, leading the photo carousel with a sweet picture of her kissing Joe’s hand. Instagram @SophieT / Via instagram.com Which is why fans were so shocked when TMZ reported on Sunday that Sophie and Joe are headed for a divorce. Ricky Vigil M / GC Images Less than three weeks after Sophie’s social media post, sources told the publication that the couple have faced “serious problems” for at least six months. Insiders then confirmed to People that Joe, 34, has retained a divorce lawyer. Amy Sussman / Getty Images TMZ also added in their report: “We’re told over the last 3 months, Joe has been caring for their 2 young children ‘pretty much all of the time,’ even as his band was touring. We’re told Joe currently has both kids, as the group plays around the U.S..” Roberto Ricciuti / Redferns And while many are still struggling to wrap their heads around the fact that Joe and Sophie have apparently split, the vast majority of people are also uncomfortable with the comment about Joe caring for his children. Gotham / GC Images In fact, the narrative has been called out for pushing archaic gender roles when it comes to parenting, with it being questioned whether that tidbit of information would have even been mentioned if Sophie was the one caring for the two children “pretty much all of the time.” Instagram @SophieT / Via instagram.com While Joe is currently on tour with his brothers, Sophie has also been working. The Game of Thrones child star has been spotted filming a new six-part crime drama, Joan, in her home country of England. Marc Piasecki / WireImage Discussing the implications of TMZ’s source quotes on a Reddit forum, users claimed that it was an obvious attempt to paint Sophie in a bad light while lauding Joe for parenting his own children. Karwai Tang / WireImage “Sad as hell that a young mother is going to get dragged through the mud because…wait for it… A father had to take care of his own children. You can’t make this shit up,” one person wrote. Reddit / Via reddit.com “So crazy if the kids were with her this would not be a story headline. He’s a parent wtf,” another wrote. One more echoed: “if it was him filming on another continent and she was taking care of the kids, no one would give a fuck.” Reddit / Via reddit.com Reddit / Via reddit.com Someone else pointed out: “The comments about the kids … so he’s being a dad? It’s not like he’s a babysitter for a shitty mum. Joe you’re parenting.” Reddit / Via reddit.com And the sentiment was echoed over on Twitter, where one user wrote: “OK but if Sophie had been caring for their two children for the last three months while Joe was on tour, that wouldn’t be a story, right? That would just be what you’d expect of a mom.” Albert L. Ortega / Getty Images While another asked: “I hate how this is phrased, almost praising Joe and putting Sophie down. Why is him taking care of his kids relevant? Why do men get praised for doing things they’re supposed to do when they have children? What is this meant to imply about Sophie?” Bruce Glikas / Bruce Glikas / WireImage Others argued that the context of Sophie working in a different country during this time is pretty integral, with it seemingly making more sense for her and Joe’s daughters to stay with him rather than fly back and forth from England. James Devaney / GC Images “Maybe he’s had the kids because she’s on location at her job as an actor,” one person commented. Another tweeted: “Breaking News: Man parents his own children while his wife is away at work.” Reddit / Via reddit.com Twitter @jennafabulous / Via Twitter: @jennafabulous “she’s been filming in the UK why are they acting like she abandoned her family,” someone else asked. While another retweeted the quote and wrote: “Isn’t she just in another country working?” Twitter @agetawaykatie / Via Twitter: @agetawaykatie Neither Sophie or Joe have publicly commented on the reports surrounding their marriage.
