Image
If you want to start your New Year with colour, celebration, and pure energy, there is only one place to be on 1st January, Winneba . While everybody is still sleeping after 31st Night, Winneba is already awake. Drums, brass band, costumes, masks. This is the Winneba Masquerade Festival, locally called Fancy Dress. It is the first major festival in Ghana every year. And it is the second biggest festival in Winneba after Aboakyer. There is a morning in Winneba that does not feel like any other morning in Ghana. By 7am, you can hear it. The brass band far away. The drum, shouting and the crowd. If you are in Winneba on that day, you cannot stay in your room. The sound will drag you out. I remember the first time I followed the sound. I thought something had happened. I thought maybe there was a funeral. But when I reached the road, I saw something I had never seen before. Men wearing masks. Big, colourful, scary, beautiful masks. Some looked like animals. Some looked like old white men ...

Kwadwo Nkansah Lilwin And Kweku Manu Clash

 It almost got bloody on Saturday November 14, 2020, when some kumahood actors and actresses were invited for an interview on United Showbiz.


Vivan Jill, Bill Asamoah ,Mercy Aseidu, Kweku Manu, Akrobeto, Ellen White and Lil Win Nkansah were the panelists present on the show to share to share their experience on how they got into the movie industry but unfortunately it almost became a violent conflict. 

The host of the show, Nana Ama Mcbrown  gave the star opportunity to share their experience and how they got into the movie industry, after sharing their experience the host questioned Kwadwo Nkansah Lilwin on his new TV Series "Cocoa Season."

Mcbrown tried to find out why Lilwin on an interview spoke against his other colleagues  who didn't shoot scenes in his series despite it's huge publicity.

Bill Asamaoh suggested to Lilwin to know how to get big stars on his series. He can't just call them to pass through and expect them to be present. Kweku Manu who also didn't participate in the 'Cocoa Season Series' added that Lilwin has no right to say he is hated by colleagues in the industry simply  because they did not get time to appear in his series.

But Lilwin got offended and it became a a clash between Lilwin and Kweku. The argument became serious to the extent that Kweku Manu told Lilwin that he shouldn't think he is one only rich actor in the movie industry but should humble himself because he is a small boy.

The host had to break the show for a commercials and now Kweku Manu is trending on twitter.
