Sorry I have been long away from you, but you cannot blame me for every mishap you encounter. Well all the same thank the creator I am back in safe hands just in peace as you I left you in one whole piece. I don’t seem too happy too converse with you today but I still cannot take off the news of that my friend who has or was accused of theft. What’s that her name again, yes, I mean that cutie that is bedecked with beauty? I mean to say Miss Nasara Mariam Abdul Rauf. She is the Ghana’s Most Beautiful winner until now that the news of her stripping off the crown came to many as a surprise and to many as a cook up plot to break the 2009 winner of the pageantry.
First it came as a teaser from a newspaper in Accra, Ghana, and then it followed as a tenser from other media houses. Do I still remember what that paper wrote as their cover? Pardon me, with the new flakes of stuffs in my brain, I have seem to forget but surly not the content of what followed that bugging piece. They fed the public with the fact that Nasara stole a mobile phone from the event she went to represent Ghana for. Yours sincerely actually couldn’t understand why such ‘yellow journalism’ or need I say ‘make-to-fall kind’ of journalism should come out from the press. I later got to know that the former manager of Nasara, Hafiz gave them the go ahead to publish the story. One thing is certain here that we all cannot be confused at the same time because I have it on that the newspaper had actually threatened the camp of Hafiz to pay the sum of $10,000 so that the news doesn’t come out to the public. Who is fooling who after all the ‘news’ is no longer news anymore.
What I learnt from the whole story is that as humans we cannot trust even our own mother because with the making of this ‘epic movie’, Nasara will be sweating where ever she is think of how the story got to the public, but let me give it to you this way; every year after winning the prestigious prize of the Ghana’s Most Beautiful which involves a car and then fat cash then a trip to represent the country in the Miss Earth Pageant. China and Philippines have both played host to the past winners, Ama and Adoley respectively. This year was to see Nasara go to Philippines which she gladly went and then the movie got the ‘take three, two, one, action!’ Had she known that the whole story will turn sour, the sister wouldn’t have taken the cross of representing the country and come back with ‘shame’. But come to think of it, is Nasara really guilty of the crime she is accused of? I know that in every rumor, there is an iota of truth but don’t we think that this rumor has been over blown out of proportion? I have dug deep into this movie script and heard as well as seen so many untold stories of the make up epic movie.
In all my years as a journalist, I have come to understand that the art of convincing fat cheques from ‘victims’, is in the idea of tainting or sabotaging them. But on another angle, do we need to progress with other’s down fall? Now where was I? I was at the point of telling how the whole epic started. Before driving you to through the make or mar episode, don’t you think as humans that there is some one out there trying to break Miss Nasara? Don’t you think that she has stepped on perhaps the wrong toes? Don’t you think that there is a little bit of hanky-panky surrounding this whole issue of Miss Nasara theft of a phone abroad? And how did the whole news fly miles away to this country to the extent that that particular media house got the news first? Don’t you think that someone is paying for the prize of pomposity or do I put it as arrogance? Don’t you think that there have been more issues at hand before this current edition broke hell loose? Don’t you think that somebody out there is writing his or her way to promotions over staining others? Don’t you think that someone out there is feeling bad for loosing another and the only way to pay back is to soil a built reputation? Don’t you think that somebody is trying to create another tribal war out of nothing? So many questions that may not be answered today in this part one, but trust me that part two of this epic is sure to blow our minds but I must warn that just as I have started receiving ‘threats’ or ‘friendly calls’, we must all be careful in reading what will or may become the ‘best selling epic’ just as my friend, Maame will always say jokingly.
Before I get crucified over talking and talking without spilling what I know happened which the director got it all wrong at location; now certain characters can or may be kleptomaniacs but what has that got to do with a theft script? Certain characters can or may be heartbreakers but what has that got to do with a theft script? Now we must know that out there when a stolen item is found in your possession, the first thing that happens is that one is arrested and either locked up or detained. But did happen to Miss Nasara? No!
Here is the first part, Miss Nasara travelled to represent Ghana at the Miss Earth competition. There as protocols demand, all the beauties were led to take a glimpse at the tourist sites and trust me that what emerged within a flash has led us to where we are today. Miss London’s cell phone fell out from her bag and as the case may be, they were all in a rush to catch the bus. There came Miss Nasara who gently picked the phone and dropped it in her bag with the knowledge that when they come back she was going to give it back to whoever was the owner. Here I have been asking that why didn’t Miss Nasara call out to inform anybody about the incidence? As the story goes on, they went out, enjoyed themselves and got back late. Miss Nasara went to take her bath and by the time she came back the phone was found in her bag after a search was made. What keeps baffling me is that the whole issue sounds as a set up just as the camera man who saw the whole issue unveiled.
Aha! Before I could blink to hear the whole storyline break down, I hear Miss Nasara isn’t taking it calm but what can she do? Now here is a lady who won a huge amount of money, here is a lady who was given a brand new Range Rover apart from the car she won in 2009, here is a lady that owns a big mansion in the north for her evolvement as the winner. Here is a lady who has been given the mandate to travel anywhere she wants under the bills of one popular airline, here is a lady who has put up a project of peace though she has started nothing much on it. So I quiz that where has all the money gone to? But that isn’t my business perhaps it may be that of the organizers to question. Now with all these to her credits, what will make Miss Nasara to steal a phone after we all know that she uses about four classic phones with a blackberry inclusive?
If the whole issue is about a set up, then who must have been so cruel to create this? If the whole issue is a case of one party being a kleptomaniac, then don’t we think that the organizers now have a huge task at hand to conduct thorough check on contestants before participating in subsequent editions? There is more to the entire fairy-tale than we see or hear.
