A caterer, Dee Baby who was adjudged winner of the just ended plus size dance reality show, dubbed Di Asa organised by Atinka TV, has pledged to embark on a sensitisation campaign.
Dee Baby, who represented the people of Tamale in the Northern Region beat all 14 finalists to be crowned the winner at the grand finale held at the Grande Arena-Accra International Conference Centre on Monday, December 28.
For her prize, she took home a brand new Hyundai Accent, a popcorn machine from Sambot Industry, a cash prize and other prizes from the sponsors of the show.
Fafa, who came second received a brand new Mini-Truck (Abosey Okai Macho), a cash prize and prizes from the sponsors of the show.
For the third position, two of the finalists had the same marks after votes were collated together with the marks from the judges.
The two, Maame and Naa Dollar who jointly occupied third position jointly were both given a tricycle (Aboboyaa) respectively and other prizes from the sponsors.
The fifth position went to Amonor who also had a cash prize and products from the sponsors.
Speaking exclusively to The Spectator, Dee Baby said, “it feels good, I don’t know what to say, it was competitive, but I believed and saw myself as the winner of the competition, and at the end of it all, it came to pass,” she said.
Dee Baby disclosed that this is the time for her to work hard and change the perception of the people of the Northern Region about reality shows, and the need to get involved.
As part of this, Dee Baby said she would organise education campaigns among other activaties to ensure religion did not become a hindrance to participating in such programmes, especially Di Asa.
“This is the time I am going to work, Northerners, I have to get them involved, some have this mentality about such programmes because of their religious beliefs. I am going to organise and change the perception,” she said.
According to her anytime reality shows like Di Asa visited the enclave for auditions it was always difficult for people to volunteer due to religious beliefs among others, adding that husbands do not willingly allow their wives to take part, thinking they would be exposed.
Dee Baby believes that such programmes have some positive societal impacts and must be encouraged to bring transformation.

Ghana’s comedy industry would take centre stage today, when the sixth edition of the Ghana Comedy Awards is held at the College of Physicians and Surgeons in Ridge, Accra.
The event, which has become the country’s premier platform for recognising excellence in comedy since it rebranded from the Comedy and Poetry Awards, would celebrate comedians whose performances and contributions stood out between January 1 and December 31, 2025. 
This year’s ceremony would begin with a red-carpet session at 7:00 p.m., followed by the main awards event at 8:30 p.m.
Organisers have promised an evening of entertainment featuring some of Ghana’s foremost comedy talents, including Lekzy, Jeneral Ntatia, Kojo PJay, Oh Joo, Alo Wess, Ranzy Ray and Jerry Ashinyo.
Musical performances are also expected to complement the comedy acts.
Media personality Kwame Dadzie would play host for the event, which is expected to attract comedians, entertainers and fans from across the country.
Tickets for the awards are selling at GH¢200 for the silver package and GH¢300 for Gold.

After years of development, funding, and creative grit, Ghanaian feature film “Ego Reach We All” has earned an official nomination to make its world premiere at the 79th Locarno Film Festival in Switzerland this month.
Formerly titled Vagabonds, the 105-minute drama was written and directed by Amartei Armar and produced by Yemoh Ike.
It marks one of the biggest international breakthroughs for Ghanaian cinema in recent years.
The film was shot entirely in Ghana with a Ghanaian cast and crew, grounding it in authentic local culture.
Post-production was completed in France, a collaboration that Director Amartei Armar says reflects the film’s spirit, “A Ghanaian story told with the world.”
The journey began in 2018 when the short film version won at the Montreal World Film Festival, an Oscar-qualifying event.
From there, ‘Ego Reach We All’ grew into a full-length feature backed by some of the most respected names in global film development: Winner – Cannes Focus CoPro, Recipient – Red Sea Development Fund, Honoree – Red Sea Souk Award and Backed by – Red Sea Productions Fund.
Industry watchers have called it one of the most promising African film projects to emerge in the last decade.
Beyond awards, the project was shaped in top international labs.
Armar was selected for the Heyazah Screening Lab in Doha, Qatar, to refine the film’s narrative.
Producer, Yemoh Ike joined the prestigious, 2023 EAVE Producers Programme under a CNC scholarship, with training sessions in Luxembourg, Austria, and the Netherlands.
Most recently, the film was chosen for the 2025 Atlas Workshop in Marrakesh, Morocco, cementing its place in global cinema circles.
Casts include, Idrissu Tontie, Dorothy Adobea Tandoh, Emmanuel Wilberforce, Barbara Yong Jin, Emmanuel Owusu Ofori, O’Bryan Kwame Enyan, Gabriel Narh Addo, Nelly Bilson, and Kwame Brenya.
For the team, Locarno is not just a festival slot. It’s validation that Ghanaian stories, told by Ghanaians, can compete on the world’s most respected stages.
“Principal photography was done entirely by Ghanaian creatives,” the producers noted.
