But before coming to power we were all the same, somebody you were campaigning with. I went there and they refused to let me see her and I told those girls at the reception that I didn\u2019t come there to beg for me, I came there because I had ideas. I told them I\u2019m going and will never come there again. What do I want from them? I don\u2019t think the people there have the passion for theatre. They should changed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday you say you\u2019re a Minister so if I come to see you I should be made to sit down for a long time, with officials of the Ministry bluffing me. Before we started the political campaign, I has built three house (storey building) I toiled to put up those houses, so you don\u2019t bluff me. I had my car, I\u2019d educated my children, my children are doing well. I have a Medical Doctor, I have one working at the World Bank, I have two who are nurses at Scotland and Holland, so why do you bluff me!? <\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019ve come to office and I\u2019m just coming to you. We\u2019re the ones who have been in this industry for a long time and we have ideas to share with you to help and enhance whatever you want to do. It\u2019s not just coming to stand on TV or radio and just bragging and bragging.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 26 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entertainment of Friday, 2 March 2018 Source: kasapafmonline.com 2018-03-02 Maame Dokono has accused the Creative Arts Ministry of not being passionate about theatre arts Celebrated actress, Grace Omaboe aka Maame Dokono has expressed exasperation following the refusal of officials at the Ministry of Tourism, Creative Arts and Culture to allow her meet with the Sector [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":468979,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-468978","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/468978","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=468978"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/468978\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=468978"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=468978"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=468978"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
