I don’t have time to discuss such character- Okatakyie Afrifa fires Kevin Taylor
Broadcaster, Okatakyie Afrifa Mensah has fired back at the Founder of Loud Silence Media, Kevin Taylor for daring him on his show.
Irate Kevin Taylor dared Okatakyia to mention his name if he’s a man, adding that he will expose his dirty and evil works behind the scenes.
Responding to Kevin Taylor on Onua FM in an interview with Doctor Prekese, Okatakyie said, he does not have time to discuss a character like Kevin Taylor who is ignorant and cowardly.
He said freedom fighters like, Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jnr and others did not stay in different countries to fight for their people like Kelvin Taylor is seen doing.
Okatakyie Afrifa described Kelvin Taylor as shallow, incoherent and inconsistent for saying he (Kelvin Taylor) has given him(Okatakyie) 24hour-ultimatum to respond to allegations.
He said his wife does not even stay in the USA as claimed by Kelvin Taylor, and that such remarks to engineer her deportation to Ghana are laughable.
He further described Kelvin Taylor as jobless who only does house chores and sits on Social Media for hours after his wife has left for work.
” Why would you want me to listen to such characters?” he quizzed
Okatakyie Afrifa added that for him to do such a thing is a waste of time.
Both of them have recently been at each other’s throats on social media.

Manhyia would serve as Ghana’s unifying force …Otumfuo assures on commemoration of 27 years on the Golden Stool
The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, last Friday celebrated his 27th enstoolment with a colourful and culture-rich ceremony at the Manhyia Palace in Kumasi, drawing a distinguished gathering of dignitaries from across Ghana and beyond.
Clad in splendid kente and adorned in rich traditional regalia, the dignitaries added colour and elegance to the occasion, as the palace grounds came alive with a vibrant display of Ghanaian culture.
Traditional drumming, dancing and symbolic rites underscored the deep-rooted heritage of the Ashanti Kingdom, captivating guests and reaffirming the value of tradition in modern society.
Speaking at a high-level Executive Gala organised by the Diaspora Affairs Office of the Office of the President in strategic partnership with the E ON 3 Group, the ‘World-Meets-in-Ghana’ gala, the Asantehene urged Ghanaians to guard against the divisive tendencies of partisan politics.
The event was to honour the Asantehene’s nearly three-decade reign under the theme ‘Advancing Peace and Sustainable Economic Development through Royal Vision’.
Otumfuo Osei Tutu II noted that such attitudes threatened the country’s long-standing values of unity, civility and brotherliness.
He assured that Manhyia would continue to serve as a unifying force for the nation.
The celebration also featured the presentation of commemorative gold coins to notable national leaders, including the President, John Dramani Mahama, former Presidents John Agyekum Kufuor and Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo as well as Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, a former Vice President in recognition of their contributions to peace and national development.
