I don't get it. Media colleagues came to see you but you hid from them. Mahama invited you and you went without hesitation. Did he promise you cash? Why did you not want to see others? By your own admission, you say you don't have work, maybe those people could have gotten you something. You hid from them and decided to see the one who will only give you fish, not teach you how to fish (excuse my use of this simile, I know you can already act, but you needed something that you can do in your circumstances).
Mac Jordan Amartey is one of my favorite actors in Ghana and i must say he is very very good and excellent at what he does. Remember when I was a kid watching the MANSA movie and he was been lashed..hahahahahahah lol ..chale too funny it keeps playing in my head anytime I come across his name. Mr. Amartey is just a wonderful actor. Pray u find happiness even though I can't imagine how sad you feel right now Sir, please try and be happy with your life because ones there is life, there is hope. Love you and God bless you
is this lady supposed to be a journalist? 0 self confidence, ***barred word*** questions and poor dicrion ...aaa she needs to sit up.....
The interviewer should go back to school so poor, bad and amateurish. Showing respect doesn't mean she should coed in herself. ✔️ 1/10 can do better.
Prayers alone will not do. Faith without works. Somebody set up a fund for him and we'll contribute.
He is a great actor, and I hope he comes back to acting. He was just genius at what he did. He was born to act, no doubt. Life is full of challenges, and this is your mountain. Others have different types of challenges, but all we do is pray that God strengthens us and give us the courage to move on. We miss you, so please come back. We will be praying for you. I am so glad to know that you are still among the living to the glory of God.
WE ALL ENCOURAGE YOU TO BE STRONG OUR BROTHER AND PRAY THAT GOD WILL ALSO STRENGTHEN YOU FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE AMEN
loved his roles! Very funny man and good-hearted fellow. Brother Amartey, amputation is nothing in this world, life must go on. It can happen to any of us, through accident, disease etc, so take heart brother. You entertained all of us in Ghana back in the days. God bless you!
