Wahaala Boys

Nigerian musician and afrobeat artist Burna Boy in an interview on the Breakfast Club in New York admitted to never speaking with pop start Beyoncé even though he is featured on her current album "The Lion King: The Gift". The artist who also launched his own album this week "African Giant" said Beyoncé never called him or had any form of communications with him. He speculated at most Queen Bee spoke to his mother but still showed his excitement and honour on being featured on the album. He also talked about being robbed at most award shows and also not paying his mum a percentage of his earnings for being his manager.

It was surprising that for someone who moaned about the size of his name by Coachella, we would have expected Burna Boy to be a bit more proud of his achievements but that was not the case.

Ghanacelebrities.com with the Wahaala boys dissect and analyse his interview and its effect on other afrobeat artists.  

This month saw the unfortunate incident of three canadian girls getting abducted/kidnapped in Ghana West Africa. The case which was swiftly dealt with resulting in the girls being found within a week has lead to a lot of people praising the security agencies in the country. Kidnapping is becoming a thing in Ghana although other countries such as Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa and almost the entire African continent has reports in local media about kidnapping cases. 

Although the security agencies did what they needed to do, the question still has to be asked about how they deal with local matters. 

Prior to the kidnapping and rescueing of these girls from Canada, some Ghanaian girls below the age of 17 have been kidnapped/missing for more than a month and the security agencies haven't being able to present anything that shows they are actually trying to find them. As a matter of fact, they kept lying to the general public with the head of CID claiming at one point that they knew where the girls were and the girls will be returned to their families soon. This woman is still in office and recently had to apologise for that.

Ghanacelebrities.com with the Wahaala boys look at the situation and asks "are African's second class citizens withinh their own countries?"

As today is father's father, the Wahaala boys in conjuction with Ghanacelebrities.com wonder how father's are perceived in our societies be it in Ghana, Nigeria, Uganda, Kenya, South Africa or anywhere in Africa. Although fathers sacrife a lot for their children and the overall wellbeing of their families. A lot of African men left their families both extented and nuclear to travel to cities or abroad in search of greener pastures and to provide a better future for their offsprings. They work long hours endure terrible situations just to ensure that their families have food and shelter. The pressures of being a man and especialy a father has caused many men to lose their lives but still men and fathers are it seem are not appreciated /valued in our society. They are regarded as second class citizens within the family and usually not given room to even get things wrong. Most children/families do not consider the father beyond his monetary contributions and most times will not involve them in other aspects of things unless it has to do with money.

Father's day is trivialised and most father's recieve barely anything and if they do recieve something, it is a nonsense of a gift in most occasions.

The wahaala boys ask the question "do we value fathers?".  

The plight affecting Ghana, Nigeria and Africa as a whole seem to be caused in majority of the time by ourselves. Although the continent has suffered from a lot of injustice and it could be argued that we as Africans are still suffering from the effects of these injustices, we are more aware of these situations and clearly should be doing better.  Recently a video surfaced of two Ghanaian women throwing rubbish into the streets while it was raining in the country's capital Accra. This is the same place where drainage is an issue and cholera, malaria and flooding is a yearly plight but these two still decided to compound it with their actions. The Chinese ambassador to Ghana said it perfectly when people tried to placed the problem of illegal mini aka galamsey sorely at the doorsteps of the Chinese by asking how did the Chinese find out about the gold? Ghanaians and most Africans abroad prevents each other from prgressing and some women are ready to lie to send their partners to prison or prevent them from being part of the lives of their chldren even though the importance of having both parents in your life is well documented.

Ghanacelbrities.com in conjuction with the Wahaala boys talk about this situation and ask the question "are we our won worse enemy?" 

When relationships end, it can be very hard  on both parties with the one betrayed feeling agrieved the most. This can lead a lot of people down the path of anger making them become nasty towards each other. Some people are noted to have destroyed the property of their ex lovers while others have done more terrible things including lying to get them arrested. The wahaala Boys look at who does it worse when relationships end. 

There has been a huge rise in the number of men in Africa who choose to end their lives and the majority of them are men between the ages of 25 years and 35 years. The reasons for suicide is wide and a study in Ghana revealed that the three major causes of suicide in the country are Poverty, Shame and struggles with masculinity. Male suicide is not just prevalent in Africa but the world as a whole. The Wahaala Boys take a crack at understanding the reasons behind the increase in young men commiting suicide in Ghana, Nigeria and Africa as a whole. 

 A lot of Ghanaian, Nigerian and African women in general claim most men demand sex before doing anything for them. Some claim that even at a job interview, the interviewer will want to sleep with you before offering you the job while university lecturers are known for exchanging grades for sex. The Wahaala Boys then ask the question, "Who stands to gain more? the people demanding sex for favours or the ones offering sex for favours?".

A lot of Ghanaians find it easy to attack homosexuals in Ghana and Africa as a whole. The argument most people make is that, homsexuality is against our culture and religion meanwhile there are numerous things that are against our culture and religion that happens day in day out but no one gets attacked for. We can have opinions about what someone does but to ahead an attack or be violent towards them is unacceptable. The Wahaala Boys talk to their facebook fans about homosexuals after watching a video of a woman proposing to her partner at the airport.
