Ghana is about to “LAUGH OUT LOUD”


Viasat1 TV is set to release a comedy series unlike any comedy ever written and performed in Africa dubbed “MULTIKOLOURED”.

The show is structured with creatively over-exaggerated themes and humorous scenarios that will leave audiences both stunned and completely ecstatic. It has a typical sitcom feel with aiding laughter tracks to guide the focus of the audience.   

This comedy series is a story of a learning institution (School) set up by a man (human status not confirmed). He is unseen but very present. He is feared by all, respected by many and rules his institution in strange ways unimaginable.

He believes that when bad students are mixed with the good ones, they negatively influence the focus of the good ones and eventually they all become bad, so In his own wisdom, he gathers students whom he perceives to be bad, dumb and unusual from various classes and houses them under one roof, he names the class; “the MULTIKOLOURED class”.In this class the hilarious story begins.

Its newest member, Jeff Hammond (Myself), through whose eyes we are introduced into the class, goes through a mind-boggling journey to discover himself and the world around him.

The Show features an all-new cast, with occasional appearances by familiar faces like Mr. Henry Hardin popularly known as Papa Nii of Taxi Driver fame and other celebrities.

Multikoloured is written and Directed by Mike Kat Siaw popularly known as Kat, for Digital Gate Productions.

My Lost Identity

So i lost my wallet which contained all my ID cards sometime ago and i went to the Electoral Commission today to get a replacement of my Voters ID.

To my utmost dismay, i was told there that "the cards dierr they are on hold for now becuase of the court case" and that, i can come back after it has ended, and i'm like HOW..?

I mean, i don't know but im just asking, is my getting a replacement of voters ID going to in anyway influence the outcome of the court case??
How am i supposed to get my lost sim card also replaced when they need the ID to replace it for me?
How am i supposed to get my Passport and/or VISA authenticated without identity?

I guess they mean i have to wait till after the court case before i travel outside or transact any international business. But considering the situation you begin to see how just a little "on hold" is affecting various aspects of my life right now; communicatioin, travel and business

The whole E.C. must be "on hold" i presume, cos the major question that hit my mind is, if even somthing as small as replacing my lost voters ID card is "on hold" then what activity right now over there is "on go"?

So it just leaves me wondering, is it just here, in my part of the world, in a government institution or it happens everywhere..?

In the mean time, as i try to get this one over my head, if you know of any means i can get any of my Identity cards replaced, kindly let me know cos i need one.
