Why does that fool call himself lexis bill anyway? What kind village American wanna be name is that. No wonder he laughs at people that are original. He thinks everything that sounds Ghanaian is bad that why he changes his name to lexis bill and laughs at a 14 year Ghanaian boy who speaks with a pure origina; Ghanaian accent. Useless fake man

Those low grade american and fake london accents by radio presenters are getting tiresome anyway.Its refreshing to hear a Ghanaian speaking properly instead of talking in forced squeaks

What has your list of achievements got to do with the teenager? Go learn emotional intelligence and know how to behave next time. It is not only 'beautiful' people who are featured in films. And it is not only people who speak with American or British accent that are featured in films. It is the mix that bring out the beauty of the world we live in. Get real and be yourself. Stop this bragging because it does not help your case.

You people are stupid, leave Jay alone. I haven't watched the movie, I didn't watch or hear any of the commentary, but as far as I am concerned, the kid deserves to be mocked. He is a typical average Ghanaian kid who got a lucky shot at Hollywood. There are thousands like him all around Accra, funny thing is there would not pick a sharp, eloquent, middle class or upper class Ghanaian kid for the role, because they needed a raw crude character. He excelled, but to think we cannot make fun of him if he gets exposed globally is preposterous. I don't like Ghanaian Radio and TV personalities, they are just as funny as Attah, but for you freaking hypocrites to pretend that we have a new God sucks.

Yes, those folks you mentioned are shallow and couldn't have excelled. Guess what, the producers auditioned those spoiled kids and wanna be Americans and British, but couldn't perform. They desperately went to schools, soccer fields, and other playgrounds where they got lucky with this sharp and passionate actor. Left to you alone, you would have recruited a LAFA speaking kid who did not represent Ghana. You are an idiot, shallow minded, and obviously illiterate. Get a life.

You see, it is folks like you who refuse to be themselves, who rather get laughed at because nobody understands what you say in your fake accents. He got a lucky shot at Hollywood, and what did you get lucky shot at, skin pain? So far, what anybody wrote or said on radio did not demonstrate jealousy as much you did here. Nobody is saying don't mock because he won awards, good thinking folks simply don't approve bullies like you.

You see, we will not sit and look on for you spoilt kids to bully this young man because he was privileged be trained the Ghanaian way. I bet you don't even have a job, but we leave that for another day. Just so you learn a thing or two, laughing at him can impede his growth, and we are so proud of him we can kill you for attacking him, you idiot!!

You have demonstrated the raw crude character you mentioned in your post. Seriously, anybody with good, home training, secure about his surroundings will never hold the position you have. Gosh, you are so despicable, I can't seem the find the words to describe you. I go to Ghana and I find it difficult interacting with the so called middle class kids, and imagine I am Ghanaian. Those foreigners simply couldn't stand them, and like me, I am sure they will not be able to stand you! Be yourself, and your doors will open to you. You know those who fit the expression kuraasini? Folks like you who are not cultured enough, groomed enough to be empathic, like you demonstrate here.

Just so you know, I am an educator, not in a high school, but at the highest level, and I know how it feels like when children are bullied by fools, FOOLS, like you. Don't you dare bring in sharp, eloquent, or upper class Ghanaianness here, it is stupidity to say that because he wasn't from those backgrounds you listed, he should never be given the opportunity. Kwasia like you! Geez, give me an entire week, and I will write because i don't think any word I put here will enter your thick head.

Citizen One or whatever the fuck your name is. First of all don't you find it ironic for a grown ass man to be laughing at a kid who can't speak the queen's language eloquently especially if that man has been faking a combination of accents? This whole thing stems from no other place that deep rooted jealousy and the black man's pull him down syndrome.

Some people will continue to be hypocrites for the rest of their lives. Is Abraham Attah the first person to be teased for making an error? We do this day in day out so why is this different? We hail the boy too much as if he is God. No disrespect to his achievements, we are all proud of him. Jay Foley, I think you've said your own, let them say or think how they want.

You simply go about shouting fools here and there without making any sense. Try to educate yourself by reading my comments on this page, and learn my reason for requesting that they shield the boy. Do those comments sound like someone who is jealous of this baby boy? I don't need to go to hollywood to feel fulfilled. I am just happy to see young kids progress - especially when the likes of citizen one, check his posts on this thread, would have preferred the less privileged are not given such opportunities.
