Lydia Forson had in a short video clip paraded adjectives to express discontentment and pontificated that she will never honour an invitation from a man who for whatever reason decides to send for her. She said: "Even when I was in JSS, when a guy calls me, I'll still not go to him because if you want to talk to someone, you walk to the person. That's what respectful people do; that's what decent people do, that's what people with courtesy do. Don't ever sit in your car and send someone to come for my number. Who do you think you are?". Kwasi Aboagye and his panelists however objected this and suggested to Lydia Forson to eschew that mindset. "You don't talk like someone who is not enlightened. You don't talk like that in the public," Socrate Safo scolded, suggesting that Lydia Forson behaved immaturely. "There is a way a lady is expected to talk so people take notice and learn from you. This is unacceptable. It's never disrespectful for someone to send for you or for your number. On the contrary, it is a respectful approach.” "How many people have done that to have triggered her decision to do makeup, apply lipstick and record a video? Is it that she wants us to know she is Lydia Forson and is not cheap?" a seemingly puzzled Kwasi Aboagye asked. On his part, Arnold said: "She spoke about respect, courtesy, class, decency How is this disrespectful? How is this indecent? How do you record a video over this? You refused to honour people's invitation in JSS and so what? What is this? Maybe she feels she wants to be approached; fair enough. But don't make it seem as if it is disrespectful, it doesn't show decency Don't come and disturb us. Do you know the number of people who went through this process and have subsequently been married for years?". In a series of tweets sighted by GhanaWeb, an unbowed Lydia Forson vehemently reacted to the barrage of criticisms. One of her tweets reads: "So me refusing to give my number to a stranger who sent someone to get it has turned into a national debate; even by so called reputable media houses. I swear you people are always offended by women who don't cower to you. Is this even a issue or by force?". Miss forson January 9, 2021 I'm really questioning how some of you were raised if you think it's ok for someone to sit in their car and send a complete stranger to take your number? Same people will turn around and call a woman cheap for jumping into a strangers car. The person discussing me loudly on radio sef is in my DM. Be honest you're just mad I don't want YOU.- miss forson January 9, 2021 But there's a much bigger story here a majority of people as usual are missing. Miss forson January 9, 2021 Even as a teenager my parents were very stern about me never following strangers. Miss forson January 9, 2021 I swear these bloggers and media houses come for me and try to tarnish my image ONLY because they're mad I fight back. You people always make it seem like it's wrong for a woman to have self respect. Source | Summary

Bulldog said President Akufo-Addo will not finish his 2nd term if he doesn't pay locked-up funds. The legendary musician who was one of the industry folks to have thronged the Police Headquarters to initiate the process told Abeiku Santana on the Okay FM Drive Time show that Bulldog was fit and sound when he was released. "He was very fine. He was in a high spirit. He wasn't dispirited whatsoever. He was strong," said the musician. "It was the normal Bulldog. Nothing showed he had been intimidated or treated with disgust or manhandled. He didn't look hungry. He was okay when I saw him.” Known in private life as Lawrence Nana Asiamah Hanson, Bulldog, an artiste manager, was picked up by National Security operatives on Monday following his comment that President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo will not complete his 4-year-term in office if aggrieved customers of gold dealership firm, Menzgold, do not get their locked-up funds. He argued on UTV's United Showbiz on Saturday, January 9, 2021, that suggestions that customers invested at their own peril hence, cannot hold the government responsible for the inconvenience caused them is unacceptable. "We'll get our monies back else Nana Addo will run; he won't finish his 4 years. I'm telling you. He won't finish his 4 years," a visibly angry Bulldog vehemently barked but later said his comment was not a threat, rather, it is to point out that the president should take the blame and do the needful. "There is no way I have anything personal against the president. I am a citizen. I haven't said I was going to kill him or anything. All I'm saying is that he should pay the customers because it was under his government they lost their monies.” Bulldog's arrest stoked controversy as a section of the public posited that it was a needless show of power especially when he offered a clarification. Others also argued that his comment was uncalled for and needed to be dealt with to serve as a deterrent to others. FreeBulldog and #PunishBulldog topped social media trends for hours. On Wednesday, Bulldog was granted bail in the sum of GH¢70,000. His lawyer, Edudzi Tamakloe, who corroborated Rex Omar's account has said Bulldog will not be intimidated by attempts by "The powers that be to show him where power lies". "You know Bulldog is a highly-spirited young man and you can't break him down psychologically or emotionally," Mr. Edudzi asseverated. Source | Summary
