Mr Ibu visits Miss Goldenwood Beauty Pageant & Talent Hunt finalist ahead of December 22 finale

Nollywood actor and comedian, John Okafor alias Mr Ibu, who is currently in Ghana will host the grand finale of the maiden edition of the ‘Miss Goldenwood Beauty Pageant and Talent Hunt’ set for the National Theatre on Thursday, December 22.

Mr. Ibu is expected to subject Ghanaians to pure laughter and madness as he co-hosts the pageant, which seeks to “discover the next movie star” for the Ghana Movie Industry. He is also in Ghana to help in the process of restoring peace in Tamale, after accepting the invitation by a former footballer who hails from Tamale, he met in Holland.

Few hours after touching, he visited many radio and TV stations to talk extensively about the two projects. He visited the ‘Goldenwood House’ in East Legon to visit the remaining 10 contestants in the pageant. He advised them to be serious and be grateful to the organisers for giving them the opportunity to notice their talent, reshape it for the fame and the glitz that awaits them.

After entering the house three weeks ago, the contestants had various players in the movie industry visit them in the house. They include Nollywood director based in Ghana Frank Raja, movie producer and CEO of Venus Films, Alhaji Sallam Mumuni and Fred Amugi.

Five contestants were evicted from the house. The remaining 10 finalists are Abigail Budu, Connie Nartey, Doreen Kumanytum, Esmerald Naana Arthur, Ida Seidu, Juliet Osei, Manuela Scheppelmann, Nana Adwoa Twumwaa Baafi, Selorm Galley and Sylvia Aboagye Kesewaa.
