@ericboatenggh:
Please check your history very well. Ghana started using shortingos in movies way before Nigeria came into the scene. Or you don’t know Adwoa Smart and the others
@bradhanny:
Wei.. Adwoa Smart start na where Aki dems dey?
@nii_laryea7:
What’s the meaning of “their type” are they not human enough ? That’s stereotyping right there.
@Borks90:
Adwoa Smart was on our screens already before Aki and Porpor. You like attention tooo much
@OwusuMa68801516:
What are you talking about? Ghanaian directors were using short, long before Aki n Popo. Go watch a Ghanaian movie called AFIA ASANTEWAA...the one where they were singing."ye ko yen..y3 ko ware"
