I have been copying Samini - Yaa Pono

Yaa Pono
Rapper Yaa Pono says there are several people he admires in the music industry, but he has been copying reggae and dancehall act Samini for some time now.The ‘Amen’ singer has been in the Ghanaian music industry for over 10 years—most of which were behind the scenes—producing several hit songs.

“I have worked for more than 10 years but most of it was behind the scenes. Samini has been a copy. I have copied him till date. I have copied most of the people behind him as well. It is all good,” Yaa Pono stated as he congratulated Samini on his 10 years anniversary in music.

Yaa Pono is known for his natural charisma, use of the Akan language and sharp social observations. Being able to blend highlife, hip-hop, dancehall and afrobeat rhythms demonstrate his true versatility.

It can be recalled that the rapper recently stated that he and his management were working on a few scripts for an upcoming movie.

Yaa Pono, together with his management team, is currently shooting a documentary called ‘Uptown Energy Live’.

He is also in the studio working on his upcoming album, titled ‘Sea blue,’ which has the ‘Amen’ song on it.The ‘Good Morning’ singer is currently under the management of the Uptown Energy Label.
Being an extrovert with a hot temper I find it difficult to deal with introverted people. A few years ago I was dating a very shy man and our relationship collapsed because I couldn’t meet his basic needs and I couldn’t understand fundamental things about being an introvert. Most people, and I was no exception, credit numerous stereotypes about introverts. Yes, they are reserved, sometimes strange and hard to understand, but they are people as well. Moreover, dating an introverted man can have many advantages. So, what should you remember when dating someone who’s more withdrawn than you? Here are 7 essential tips for dating an introvert.

1. Silence isn’t a sign of estrangement

A different style of communication is the most striking and significant thing about dating an introverted man. My boyfriend kept silent most of the time; thus I had to carry on most of the conversation, which was tiresome at times. When your man isn’t asking you questions or isn’t joking, most probably he’s not interested in you as a woman. With introverted men, it’s absolutely different. They talk less, but whenever they say something it’s really important to them. Introverts simply don’t waste time on silly talk.

2. Less violent conflicts

If you’re dating an introvert, you will rarely have severe conflicts and fights. Introverts never act and speak rashly. They need a lot of time to reflect on things; therefore their responds are deliberate. Chances are you’ll forget about the argument, but your sweetheart can start talking about it in several days. When you really want to settle a conflict, adopt a patient behavior. An excessive pressure will only lead to distrust and resentment.

3. Your social life will be different

Get ready that your spouse will never be the center of attention at a party, during friend gatherings or a party with unknown people. In fact, introverts don’t lack communication skills and they aren’t anti-social; they just need less time socializing. You should also be ready to spend a great amount of time at home watching films or reading. Spontaneous and unplanned events are highly stressful and unwelcome for introverted people. You won’t go out every day, but if your leisure time is properly planned, your guy will be more confident and comfortable.

4. Introvert can’t be converted into extrovert

This is the most common mistake most people make when dealing with introverts. You can’t change their temperament and it’s no use struggling with their personality. Being pushy is indeed the worst strategy you can choose. You won’t stir up your partner by asking him thousand questions or telling jokes. Most probably your man will retreat to save his sanity. You shouldn’t urge your partner to do anything or embarrass him, especially in public. It’s very hard to change yourself and it’s almost impossible to change another person. Remember it.

5. They need more me time

It always made me frustrated, but I couldn’t accept this aspect of our relationship. It doesn’t mean I wanted to spend every second with him, but I suffer when I feel lack of attention. Introverts need more time to recharge their strength and energy. Stillness and solitude are essential things they will always need. Thus, don’t minimize the importance of me time and try not to take it personally. If you aren’t able to adjust to this need, your relationship would be rather disastrous.

6. Honesty is a huge plus of being an introvert

A great advantage of dating an introvert is that your man will always be honest with you about his feelings and thoughts. Introverts focus their attention on people they are interested in. While extroverts are often superficial and pretended, introverted people say and do exactly what they mean. Don’t be afraid that you partner is a player or that he might be cheating on you. If you’re dating an introvert, you can be sure you’re the only one in his life. Moreover, introverts tend to stay in long-lasting relationships since they’re very picky when choosing a girlfriend.

7. You should show tolerance and indulgence

Sometimes it’s awfully hard to accept his strangeness and those special needs. It feels difficult to get along with an introvert when you have totally different desires. You want to go to a party, while he tends to stay at home. Or, you’re overflowed with emotions and your partner just can’t take it. An introvert will never belong to you 100 percent. Introverts seem moody at times because they are utterly introspective and sensitive to their feelings. You should give them a lot of time to process. Remember that a compromise is a pledge of any healthy and long-lasting relationship. Try to understand that your introverted man also makes efforts to handle your relationship, even if you don’t notice that.
It’s up to you to make your extrovert-introvert relationship comfortable and satisfying. Like any other relationships, it requires great work, common efforts and compromise. Just a little understanding and sacrifice will help your relationship flourish and work out. Remember that love is about accepting but not changing a person. Have you ever dated an introverted man or girl?

Dancehall artiste, Emmanuel Andrews Samini, known on stage as Samini has observed that considering the humiliation that rapper Kwaw Kese has suffered over the past few days, he is sure to have regretted his action.
According to him, Kwaw Kese, born Emmanuel Botchwey, has definitely regretted and learned a lot of lessons behind bars.
The controversial rapper, who was arrested by the police in Kumasi for allegedly smoking cannabis in public, was remanded into the Kumasi Central Prison after making an appearance in court Monday.
He was sent to the Kumasi Central Prison after the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA) Circuit Court, presided over by Judge William Boampong remanded him to reappear on December 8 after prosecutors argued that they were still investigating the matter.
Samini in a strongly worded statement on the matter via his Instagram page said what Kwaw Kese is going through is not something he would wish for anyone.
“It's really not the right time of the year for anybody to be going through what my brother and fellow artiste @kwawkese is going through at the moment. It's Sad and unfortunate that he was caught slipping and has been made a scapegoat in this situation.”
“As a people we all break the law directly and indirectly at some point and usually get away with it. It is only when you come into contact with the law head-on that you get the wake up call,” he added.
The ‘Movement’ hit singer was of the belief that, Kwaw Kese “has regretted his actions already with the kind of humiliation he's been through in the past few days behind bars.”
Samini expressed the view that just as in the case of his colleague, Kwaw Kese, the law must effectively work in all other fields of society. “We live in a society where hypocrisy and ignorance are normal ways. People litter the streets to give us cholera and are left to roam about doing it everyday. Others run red lights and pay bribes in traffic constantly, just to mention a few. We realise how many times we commit petty crimes and walk freely.”
According to him, the matter at hand is a case of the abuse of a substance and “we need to draw the line between being a criminal and an addict on a substance. What happened to fines and rehabs for patients? Are we going to rather lock up and destroy a victim to a societal substance abuse rather than reform and rehab them to return and contribute to society.”
Maintaining that Kwaw Kese is “an entertainer and a Dad,” the dancehall act observed that in some developed countries, cannabis are seen as purely recreational when it is for personal use.
“These laws we use here were brought in by these countries who have over the years seen the need to revisit and decriminalise certain acts including smoking just a joint. We have stuck to it like the wigs in the court rooms when it's 90 degrees blazing hot. Lol.”
“Our judicial system needs to be revised as those who formed it for us no longer use them. He shouldn't have used it in a public place as it's not legal in Ghana. We collectively as an industry apologise on his behalf and beg for mercy on him. He can be better in society by rehab as a user than jail as he's not a dealer. A word to the wise ......#Freekwawkese,” Samini concluded.

Samini expressed the view that just as in the case of his colleague, Kwaw Kese, the law must effectively work in all other fields of society. “We live in a society where hypocrisy and ignorance are normal ways. People litter the streets to give us cholera and are left to roam about doing it everyday. Others run red lights and pay bribes in traffic constantly, just to mention a few. We realise how many times we commit petty crimes and walk freely.”
According to him, the matter at hand is a case of the abuse of a substance and “we need to draw the line between being a criminal and an addict on a substance. What happened to fines and rehabs for patients? Are we going to rather lock up and destroy a victim to a societal substance abuse rather than reform and rehab them to return and contribute to society.”
Maintaining that Kwaw Kese is “an entertainer and a Dad,” the dancehall act observed that in some developed countries, cannabis are seen as purely recreational when it is for personal use.
“These laws we use here were brought in by these countries who have over the years seen the need to revisit and decriminalise certain acts including smoking just a joint. We have stuck to it like the wigs in the court rooms when it's 90 degrees blazing hot. Lol.”
“Our judicial system needs to be revised as those who formed it for us no longer use them. He shouldn't have used it in a public place as it's not legal in Ghana. We collectively as an industry apologise on his behalf and beg for mercy on him. He can be better in society by rehab as a user than jail as he's not a dealer. A word to the wise ......#Freekwawkese,” Samini concluded.
