Ghanaian Actress, Akuapem Poloo Finally Sentenced To Prison

Posted: 19 Apr 2021 12:30 AM PDT

Popular Ghanaian actress Rosemond Brown, better known as Akuapem Poloo, has been sentenced to three months in prison by an Accra Circuit Court over the publication of obscene material and domestic violence.

The actress was sentenced for her Instagram post where she went naked while posing with her seven-year-old son in June, last year.

As the court sentenced her to 90 days in jail, the actress pleaded for mercy, to no avail.

"Mummy please, Mummy, I beg you, Mummy please," she reportedly said to the judge.

Akuapem's lawyer, Mr Andy Vortia, prayed for a more lenient sentence but the court held that a harsh sentence must be passed to serve as a deterrent to others.

The actress was convicted on her own plea, after she had pleaded guilty to three counts of publication of obscene materials, engaging in domestic violence namely a conduct that in any way undermined another person's privacy or integrity, and engaging in domestic violence namely conduct that in any way detracted or was likely to detract from another person's dignity and worth as a human being.

Singer Simi – “Love yourself as you are, social media validation will be your downfall”

Posted: 19 Apr 2021 12:00 AM PDT

Popular Afropop singer, Simisola Kosoko, better known as Simi encourages self-love as she condemns the idea of struggling to satisfy social media people.

This is coming days after the mother of one was dragged for putting out pictures that are considered too revealing despite being a mother.

Taking to her Instastory, Simi preached the extent of joy from being oneself other than going extra miles for social media validation.

In her words;


"Yo LOVE YOURSELF as you are!! Its great to do things for yourself that you want… But the moment you become consumed with looking or presenting yourself a certain way, so people that honestly, truly don't care about you on social media can tell you you're popping -it's only downhill from there.

Because you'll keep on giving up parts of your true self until there's nothing left. Its human nature. Please, I beg you. Let the most vulnerable version of you be enough. LOVE YOURSELF. VALIDATE YOURSELF. because you're enough. You will always be enough.

Nothing wrong with doing something that makes you happy, just make sure it's your approval you care about – not random peoples'.

I'm actually super concerned that young girls will have to work harder for a healthy self esteem. Because they'll be trying to live up to a standard that does not exist.

maybe today post a picture of yourself you think is too 'basic' for social media. Post a pic of yourself without a filter if you haven't in a long time. If not today, then tomorrow or the day after. Without filter and make up, it's funny how similar we are."
