    I still stand by my decision – Martha Ankomah on defamation suit against Lil Win

    Actress Martha Ankomah of Ghana has stated that legal proceedings concerning her lawsuit against colleague Kwadwo Nkansah, also referred to as Lilwin, are still pending.

    The actress has stated that she does not intend to rescind the lawsuit because she wants the legal system to work its course.

    “I have not withdrawn the suit, I believe the rule of law works in this country.

    Thus, I do not think you can offend someone and get away with it. We must set a good example for others to follow if we claim to be role models. I therefore filed a lawsuit. I hope you understand that building a brand takes years, as she said in an interview with UTV, based in Accra.

    Miss Ankomah sued Lilwin on February 14, 2024, alleging that he had made derogatory comments about her professionalism and integrity.

    The actress sued in an Accra High Court, requesting an apology, GH¢5 million in damages, and the removal of the extremely offensive words in question.

    Martha has expressed hope that the court will take the appropriate action in this case in the interim.

    “If the court does not teach him a lesson, it will be a very bad example that may encourage the next generation to just say anything about people,” the actress went on.

    Chris Attoh explains why he left Ghana to Nigeria

    Renowned Ghanaian actor Christopher Keith Nii Attoh, better known by his stage name Chris Attoh, recently spoke candidly about his choice to focus more on the Nigerian film industry.

    In an exclusive interview with 3Music TV, the actor revealed that he chose to work in the Nigerian film industry due to its wider audience base. He continued by describing how Nigeria had a thriving film industry that provided more chances for partnerships.

    “At the time, the necessity was that you had to be in the Nigerian space if you wanted a bigger market or a bigger audience. Ghana was great, but the truth is Ghana is small, and if you are trying to get the attention of players beyond Ghana, not just Nigeria, you have to expand.

    “And Nigeria has numbers, Nigeria is making films every single day. I’m always looking forward to where we are collaborating instead of being separated,” he said.

    Speaking about the current state of the Ghanaian film industry and its lack of advancement, he bemoaned the absence of mentorship and direction for artists in the field, adding that he was not raised by the right people who could have guided him in his development.

    “I don’t think it’s a matter of not wanting to push ourselves. Growing up, we didn’t have the right mentors. We didn’t have people who brought us up and would take your hand and say this is the way. And it becomes a thing that’s heavy on my heart,” he bemoaned.
