Not enough twilights, sandcastles nor charms could stop almost 50K “Instagramers” from drooling and savoring over Multiple Grammy Award winning singer, producer, and songwriter Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds’ via his special Instagram Live presentation on May 24, 2020.
Captivating audience including Brandy, Toni Braxton, Tamar Braxton, and Ghana’s very own Ms. Jackie Appiah.
The occasion was the 25th anniversary of the Soundtrack to the award-winning movie “Waiting to Exhale”. (1995)
Ms. Jackie Appiah remained captivated and interactive throughout the entire broadcast lasting almost Two hours with comments and emojis expressing her emotions and admiration for the melodious tunes of the Soundtrack that defined her generation in the 90s.
Some of her comments can be seen on the screenshots captured by Ameyawdebrah Media include, Ghana Flags, multiple heart emojis, applause Dancing queen etc…..
What could be the connection here? Curious minds may ask, Jackie Appiah obviously became a household name in Ghana in the 90s and her nostalgia for the genre of Babyface’s music is an affirmation our favorite Actress and Philanthropist has eclectic taste and continues to mesmerize her fans and admirers about her taste and preferences for the finest things in life including great music.
It is undeniable that an appreciation for talent & craft as such exhibited in WAITING TO EXHALE movie & soundtrack makes you appreciate Creative Arts Industry has the capacity to transcend cultures when it is harnessed effectively as cultural, economic, and educational tool.
We always knew talented performers like Ms. Jackie Appiah could have been much bigger “STARS” beyond Ghana if and only if the Creative Arts Industry was given the necessary impetus for development in Ghana. (That’s another story for another time).
The observation from the Broadcast on Instagram is simply revelatory that our beloved Jackie Appiah was whisked by Babyface Edmonds into nostalgia for her teenage and young adult years in the 1990s.
Maybe one day Ms. Jackie Appiah will grant us an in-depth insight to her life experiences in the 90s and hopefully take us all on a memory lane into her eclectic taste in everything and all things 90s including, Music, Fashion and Movies. (Hopefully)
For the young fans wondering what the fuss is about?

If you know you know! 1990s was incomparable decade to live in and live through. So much greatness. Bring-back the 90s.

Lagos police arrest gay gang of criminals, who raped their male victims
The police in Lagos have recorded a breakthrough by arresting eight members of a vicious gang of criminals that specialize in subjecting their victims to several hours of anal sex after dispossessing them of their properties and cash.
The arrest, said to be one of the biggest successes of detectives recently, under the watchful eyes of Commissioner of Police, Adegoke Fayoade so far, was made in the highbrow areas of Lekki, Ajah and Ikoyi areas of the state and efforts are in top gear to round up fleeing members of the dreaded gang made up of young men between the ages of 23 and 40.
Giving details of the operational strategies of the gang, police sources said the young men usually perpetrate their evil acts by renting living apartments in the highbrow areas of the city after which they embark on search for their victims.
It was learned that they normally place notices in strategic areas of the city, advertising job vacancies and acting as estate agents.
Sources said desperate job and accommodation seekers who respond to their adverts would be taken to their apartments usually situated in one of the booming estates where they are subjected to all kinds of torture with a view to forcing them release their account details after which they would be forced into several hours of anal sex by members of the gang.
According to sources, their operational method is to roam around with exotic cars including high flying SUV’s. They place fake advertisements in strategic areas of Lekki, Ajah, Banana Island and even Ikoyi after which they also scout around, looking for fine and healthy-looking men.
As soon as they succeed in getting a victim, they drive the person to their apartment where they torture him for hours. While torturing their victim, they would extract all information about him including his financial status.
“As soon as they are in possession of those personal facts, they swing into action by proceeding to his house or banks to empty his money and other valuables. The second round of their operation is to subject their victim to hours of anal sex which they take turns to have their fill. They usually record their exploits on video and later relax to view it while enjoying their loot.”
It was gathered that their criminal exploits were blown open after they succeeded in cornering and maltreating a relation of a mobile police officer. The enraged officer was said to have gone to one of the police stations at Lekki to lodge the report.
Based on this development, the Commissioner of Police, Adegoke Fayoade gave marching orders to his special squad to round up the criminals without delay.
The Special Squad, it was learned, succeeded in penetrating the gang and rounded up seven of their members including their oldest member said to be a lawyer.
Crime Guard learned that during interrogations, members of the gang who were looking unruffled stated boldly that their victims were healthy looking young and old men that will satisfy their sexual urge through the anus.
“They reportedly shocked detectives when they confessed that they had been operating for over three years and that they choose highbrow areas where they could easily track well nourished and endowed men.
Police sources said: “They were boasting to us about how many healthy looking men they have abused through the anus. They said they reject men that are not looking health, stating emphatically that they have no business with women. After their arrest, we confined them in separate cells so that they would not descend on our male suspects inside the cell.
“However, few days later, one of them raised alarm that the oldest member of the gang who claimed to be a lawyer was having same affair with a member of the gang. When we accosted him, he said the relationship had been going on since they have been operating as a gang.
“Our greatest problem now is that some members of the devilish gang have escaped and we strongly suspect that they must be carrying on with their devilish criminal acts wherever they are.
“We are spreading our dragnets and we are sure that very soon, we will round all of them up. I must state that if not for the swiftness with which our Commissioner directed the operation, many men in Lagos state would have been endangered species by now.”
