Asamoah Gyan’s Social Media Rant: A Sign of Depression or Bipolar Disorder? – Opinion

Ghana’s football legend, Asamoah Gyan, broke down during an Instagram live session with his followers on Thursday, 2nd January 2025.

The former Ghanaian striker went on a rant on social media, and it got everyone talking. Asamoah Gyan accused football managers whom he tagged as ‘people with interest’ of brainwashing young footballers who joined the team and saw him as an idol.

The international icon also elaborated on his relationship with Ghana’s midfielder, Andrew Morgan Dede Ayew, as he alleged the purported rivalry between the two was created by people with ‘personal interests.

“Andre is a good person. He has that genuine love for me, but he has been brainwashed because it benefits people. That is what has brought the so-called rivalry. I am not a rival to anyone. The emotional Gyan lamented.

Gyan also shared his thoughts on the NDC’s proposed 24-hour economy policy, saying it’s not a new idea.

The African Star also accused the NPP of using his popularity to win votes during the general elections, which is quite shocking looking at his involvement in the New Patriotic Party.

After watching his video, mynewsroomgh.com has observed that the footballer is exhibiting a sign of depression. Discussing his treatment as captain of the Black Stars, calling his 2010 World Cup teammates cowards, discussing Andre Ayew as brainwashed, and talking about how the NPP has used him and the NDC’s popular 24-hour’ economy raises an alarm of concern since his friend, Funnyface, started like this.

The legend requires the support of family and friends at this critical moment.

Signs your partner is cheating on you

If you’re not in a monogamous relationship, you can expect your partner to stay faithful. However, in our society, dishonesty is all too common. Warning signals of infidelity are inevitable when someone you know and love deeply strays. Indeed, there may be some indicators that your significant other is having an affair.

These indicators could initially appear as a gut instinct that your partner has broken the trust you have in them. You may be struggling with the unsettling question, “Is my partner having an affair?

Hiding things; One of the most obvious indicators that your partner is having an affair is secrecy. Your partner may be attempting to hide their activities if they are lying, keeping things hidden, being reticent, or not speaking much. Your spouse or partner may no longer feel the need to confide in you about things they often discuss with you if they are cheating on you. This is more concerning since it suggests that the other connection is meeting their emotional requirements.

In a relationship with their phone: One indication of cheating could be a change in phone usage habits. They are messaging all the time, and all of a sudden you find yourself strangely protective of their phones.

Unusual busy schedule: Sudden work trips, weekend getaways with friends, overtime at the office, and working on presentations late nights are all perfect, but predictable, excuses for sex outside of marriage.

Taking too much care of themselves: Another indication of cheating could be a renewed interest in exercise and self-care. Suddenly changing their hairdo, buying new clothes, going shopping more often, and looking beautifully whenever they go out could all be signs that your wife has found someone new and special that they want to steal from.

 

 

 

 

 

 

UniMAC-DRID seminar to examine Hollywood’s portrayal of Africa

A Lecturer at the University of Media Arts and Communication-Institute of Film and Television (UniMAC-IFT), Dr Joseph Chegadam Aketema, will confront a contentious issue: “The Image of Africa in Hollywood Films,” as part of the Inter-faculty Research Seminar hosted by the Directorate of Research Innovation and Development (DRID) at the University of Media Arts and Communication (UniMAC).

Scheduled for Friday, November 8, 2024, via Zoom, this lecture promises to offer a fresh lens on how African realities are depicted in mainstream Western media.

In a pre-lecture interview with DRID, Dr Aketema described his motivation to address the often-problematic narratives Hollywood has shaped about Africa.

“This lecture stems from a need to turn the lens on these portrayals, looking deeply at how Africa is historicized and represented in Western media,” he explained.

Dr Aketema is particularly interested in sparking critical discussion around “how we, as Black Africans and people of African descent, can dismantle the yokes of subjugation, distortion, and representation.”

The lecture will include an understanding of history, Afrocentric theory, and the impact of Hollywood’s powerful media reach.

Dr Aketema underscored the need for African filmmakers to form a collective front, suggesting that “one arrow cannot kill an elephant.” He believes a unified approach in the African film industry can counteract the influence of Hollywood’s well-established studios and offer more authentic representations of African culture.

The event will also highlight figures in African media history who have worked to change the narrative. “People don’t know about Ali Mata Salembere, one of the founders of FESPACO, or the impact of early African filmmakers,” Dr Aketema said, adding that a deeper understanding of these efforts may inspire new ways of thinking for today’s African filmmakers and cultural scholars.

NPP will stick to the Rule of Law; we’ll not give NDC the showdown they crave-Ekow Assafuahh

The Member of Parliament for Old Tafo in the Ashanti Region, Lawyer Ekow Vincent Assafuah, has made it clear that the NPP caucus in Parliament won’t engage in a showdown with the NDC. According to him, leaked WhatsApp messages from the NDC’s platform suggest they’re anticipating a confrontation, but the NPP will stick to the Rule of Law and avoid using force to assert their position.

The Deputy Minister for Local Government, Decentralization, and Rural Development emphasizes that the majority can only be determined through polls, not behind closed doors. He also points out that the Supreme Court has stayed the speaker’s ruling, and it’s essential to respect the laws of the land.

Speaking on TV3’s morning show said “We are not going to give any showdown. We will not give them what they expect,”

This development follows reports of heightened tensions in Parliament, with some MPs calling for restraint and peace amid the tensions.
