DJ TELL NEARLY BUTCHERED AT ZAA RADIO

What seemed to be a normal entertainment review ended up instigating the butchering of an entertainment pundit [DJ Tell], after he shared an opinion that did not gratify listeners on “Monday Nite Celebrity Show”; A night entertainment show on Zaa Radio in Tamale.

Musah also know as DJ Tell was part of two other entertainment pundits invited to discuss current happens in Tamale (Airtel Northern Music Awards and Fancy Gadam launch). He expressed an infuriating opinion regarding Airtel Northern Music Awards that induced a man with a machete to storm the station and ask for his head.

In an interview granted by the host of the show Iddi Nash to Diamond FM Drive Time, he narrated the incident and stated that if they hadn’t intervene it would have been a bloody seen last night at the premises of Zaa Radio.

“ DJ Tell said he does not believe the brand Artile Ghana is associated with the northern Music Awards because no member of the organizers can write a convincing proposal that will win them a sponsorship from Airtel Ghana” Iddi Nash narrated.

“ His statement did not go down with some listeners, which I asked him to retract and apologies and he did. After the program a young man approached as shouting, expressing his displease with Dj Tell. We tried to talk to him but all of the sudden he rushed to his bike and brought a cutlass, it took my self and G face one of the pundits to bring the situation under control” he added.

Likely, no one was injured.

DON'T TRUST LOVE FROM THE HEART...

Love is an illusory spirit that blinds the mind and points the heart to obliteration.

I don’t know where love is sited whether in the heart or is an inventiveness of ones feeling towards another, but as a young boy I have heard a lot people say, “Follow your heart” and this has got me believing that love is in the heart.

Since I mature to feel that pinch in my heart signifying an attraction to something or someone, I have always followed it to the latter, with the impulse that it is love speaking to me but always I am cuckolded into something I felt was right and best for me.

I have trusted love for long yet no reasonable result to win my trust that, it truly exist in the heart and worth following. So I begin to feel what the lot said is not factual but a conspiracy to confuse the young and ignorant.

Love as I have come to think of it is a delusion in the mind that only those with brainpower manipulate to suit their interest. That is how come those who love from the heart never get loved in return, their brainpower is slanted and dwindle is their ability to control how they feel.

I have learnt my lesson yet found the remedy to what my mind has been embattled with since long; loving someone who loves another and that another loving another.  And so if you intend to love be sure is not from the heart else you will self-destruct at the end.

My mind… I might be wrong anyway.

What’s your opinion?
