Ghana Celebrities’ Begotten Bastards

Society looks up to its celebrities. No matter how hard one tries to resist they are always on our screens singing and acting. As the situation demands, people always yearn to know more of their favourite celebrity and the one avenue they have for that is the media.

The media also dig down deep to tell you the good, the bad and the ugly. And there is a disturbing trend currently eating into the fibre of our society. Our society is having illegitimate sons and daughters.

Institutions are governed by rules, play by the rules and you get rewarded for that, play against the rules and you get punished for that.

If you chose to have your kids outside marriage, that’s your choice and no government is going to arrest you for that, but bear in mind those kids are bastards. All around us, in our homes, at work and our neighbourhood we are surrounded by out of wedlock kids.

Of our celebrities who have begotten bastards you know them better than I do. Celebrity, icon, idol, star as we loved to call them are torch bearers for our society and the nation. That’s why they are brand ambassadors for products, concepts and ideals.

Now we have celebrities who have begotten bastards stepping out bolding convincing others to do the same. Nowadays, to beget a bastard is the order of the day and society gradually is accepting that as the norm.  

If you are fond of children and love to have one of your own, be patient in waiting for the right person in marriage. But if you chose to have one outside marriage, spare our eyes and ears the publicity and pride show.

There are some celebrities in our society worth commending for the respect they accord to the institution of marriage. They are the likes of Okyeame Kwame, Majid Michel, Emmilia Brobby, Van Vicker, Lucky Lawson, Eddie Watson, Adjetey Annan- continue the list for me- but please don’t add anyone with a  bastard to the list of this noble men and women listed here.

It would also be appropriate to seek the face of the Lord in prayer for our celebrities searching and waiting for Mr. or Mss. Right. And when the time comes, may it be sublime to the adoration of all.

To close this piece as Shararrows always does is to leave you with a quote from a visiting lecturer from Makerere University in a series of lectures he delivered with the last paper being INFORMATION TO THE YOUTH. “Live and good and honourable life so that when you grow old, you can sit back and playback those memories again and enjoin them a second time.”-bye bye.
