Stop Questioning Why I Don’t Own A Car, It’s Not Force – Yaw Dabo

Ghanaian actor, Yaw Dabo talks about his possessions. Moreover, he revealed that in his books, owning a car is a luxury and not a necessity. Therefore, all the people who consistently questioned him on his should cut him some slack. He stated that people ask that anytime they see him go on board a public car

Furthermore, he quoted some portions of the scripture to make his case on why he thought a car was not really a necessity for him. The actor made the point that the Bible states that earthly wealth is to the benefit of believers. However, it is not the supreme motive of man.

He made these statements on the latest episode of Celebrity Ride show. Also, he added that recently his manager, Kofi Asamoah indicated that he wanted to buy a car for him. However, he declined the offer because he felt it was not time for him to own a ride yet.

According to him, every height one reaches in the entertainment industry has some peculiar eyes that begin to monitor the individual’s movement and as a result, his strong belief that the time is not ripe. He was, however, quick to stress that the people should not be too surprised when they see him cruising in a new baby very soon because with God all things all possible.

The host asked her what her next line of action was. This is if they don’t hear back from the party. She stated that then they would go to court.

“The reason is that I think about my fans, we first considered what the party discussed with us to make peace but they think they are big and that they can just take someone’s property without thinking about the person”

Also, she revealed that her management wrote officially to the General Secretary of the party, John Boadu, Chief of Staff Tourism minister. However, there were no results.

“It’s not right, it’s a big offence for using someone’s intellectual property without the person’s knowledge and I believe that NPP is a big party which understands all these legalities so I’m hoping for the right thing to be done or go to court for redress”

Furthermore, they contacted the deputy General Secretary of the part, Lawyer Obiri Boahene. He apologized on the party’s behalf for the mistake. Also, he added that, the management should exercise patience for the matter. This was better than discussing it on air.

of their choices, though Ghana has her own culture, and we are all expected to live by these

culturally defined norms”.

 “We have the right to do all things but not all things are right”, he said.

He, however, stated that, it may not be necessarily sinful to have Rasta hairstyle or a peculiar

haircut, but it can serve as a distraction to other people.

“This is because musicians serve as role models to their fans. In such cases, other young Christians can also spot the same hairstyle and may even overdo it”.

He further noted that, “peculiar haircuts are spotted by most gospel artistes in Europe and that is accepted because their culture permits it, it resonates with them and their messages are sent across without distortion, and that does not make them sinful. If we also want to practice same, then we should be wary about them because of where we come from”.

you talk about romance in marriages

them in your life.”

to say some of the things they are teaching in plain words,” she

“I recorded an album in 2006. When did he [D Black] record an album? Sharon Stone also has a song like that which features Stay Jay. Stay Jay is my friend. Actually, he’s the first person to have commented that the song is a hit when I shared a link. So he knows about the song.”

Young Rich mentioned that he was furious because a similar experience some years ago affected his music career, hence, he will not tolerate another.

He said:

“I lost my producer because of the same treatment. Kwaadee took a line from my song when we were at Morris Babyface’s studio. It hurts. They are warned. They better get something tangible to tell me, else I will unleash the venom in me.”
