There was drama on UTV's "United Showbiz" this Saturday, and the spewing of expletives from Kwame Asare Obeng, commonly known as A-Plus, when he was asked why he didn’t join the #fixthecountry demonstration held on August 4, 2021.
A-Plus, who did not take kindly to the nature of the query, wondered why the focus should be on him.
Health Walk or Sell Cement
Undoubtedly one of the very loud voices in the campaign on social media, the musician's absence appears noticeably felt.
He, however, explained that he decided to stay at home and sell his cement since he saw the event as mere jogging or health walk.
Common Sense
A couple of weeks ago, A-Plus took the Ghana Police to the cleaners asking the service to learn common sense and join the Fix The Country campaign instead of fighting against it. That was when the Police administration sought to block the demonstration via a court order.
Thus after securing the go-ahead to hit the streets from the security agencies, many perhaps thought the musician would be part of those at the fore-front of the campaign to #fixthecountry.
But A Plus pointed out even though he acknowledges that demonstrations are useful, he was not convinced the August 4th protest would achieve any results.
Nothing Wrong With Question
Okay FM's 'Best Entertainment Show' host, Halifax Nii Ansah-Addo, who felt there was nothing wrong with the question, however, insisted A-Plus owes a duty to Ghanaians by giving reasons for not joining the protest.
Then came the outburst, a barrage of insults from A-Plus...but subsequently ended in an apology.

I blame the host of the show and the producers behind the scenes for not having contingency means of cutting the broadcast when the panelists refuse to behave with civility. The host was totally inept and incompetent. There are means of controlling the behavior and responses of panelists and terminating them when they behave like wild ani-mals.
Such people want to rule Ghana, you are not yet a minister or MP and look at how proud you are to insult someone on national TV because he asked you a simple question. Hmmm then when you become a minister or MP it will be something else. Did you hear yourself saying you are more popular than Halifax, brother you have to humble yourself. I am real impressed by the maturity shown be Halifax.
Kudos to Halifax for his matured composure, courage, and exposing A-plus for what he is. A $p1neless loud-mouthed lacking emotional intelligence and with a misguided sense of importance and clout. He is lucky to have had Halifax, had it been me whose mum he'd insulted and c0wardly threatened physical a$$ault, he would never have left that studio the same way he came in. Does such a rec-kle$$ chap want to be a leader?
@Sammy, I like your last question - Who is disturbing the nation? A title of a book authored by Apostle Dr. Alfred Koduah, Teshie-Nungua Area Head of the Church of Pentecost.
A role model indeed. 1. Who is a role model according i. The Dictionary, ii. Our Ghanaian culture, iii. The Bible, iv. The Koran, v. Moral standard....... 2. What are the characteristics of a role model? 3. What are expected of a role model? 4. What should be the role of a role model? 5. At what point can one be considered a role model WHO IS DISTURBIG THE NATION?
