Joselyn Dumas stars in ‘Tenants of the House’ Netflix movie
Ghanaian actress Joselyn Dumas in a character in the ‘Tenants of the House’ Netflix movie becomes the orchestrator of a political ploy to unseat the Speaker in the House of Representatives in some fascinating topsy-turvy moments.
Produced by Dr. Wale Okediran, the movie which premiered on Netflix on November 22, unravels some behind-the-scenes incidents that normally lead to decision-making in the political landscape.
The movie is inspired by a novel released by Dr. Okediran in 2009 and has become one of the top-selling novels around the world.
In an interview with GNA Entertainment at the launch of the movie in Accra, Dr. Okediran who doubles as the Secretary-General of the Pan African Writers Association (PAWA) revealed that his first experience as a Member of Parliament in Nigeria triggered the need to write the book as well as produce the movie.
“Actually, during my experience as an MP, I kept a diary of daily activities because it was my first time in politics and most of the things happening were strange, so I just kept a diary after the end of my tenure and decided to put it into writing.
“I released the ‘Tenants of the House’ book back in 2009 and I followed it up with the movie which has received a massive commendation from movie lovers all around the world,” he noted.
Other cast members in the movie include Rashida Lobbo, Yakubu Mohammed, Dele Odule, Rashisa Lobbo, Taiwo Hassan, among others. -GNA

The fourth edition of the fast-rising fashion and cultural event, the Slit and Kaba Festival, is set to take place on May 1 at the Legon City Mall in Accra.
Organised by Roots Africa, the festival aims to promote Ghanaian culture through the traditional Kaba and Slit outfit, known for its vibrant African prints and unique designs.
Speaking to The Spectator Agoro ahead of this year’s edition, dubbed “Old School Kaba and Slit Meets Batakari,” the Founder of Roots Africa, Mrs. Deborah Kabutey-Djisah, popularly known as Manye Korngo, said the event has gained significant popularity over the years and promised an even bigger experience this time around.
“The intention is to revive old-school fashion while celebrating our revered Fugu, also known as Batakari, which has gained massive exposure in recent times,” she stated.
“It is also an opportunity to showcase our culture and demonstrate to young people how fashion has evolved over the years,” she added.
She further called on vendors to come on board to display their products and services, noting that thousands of patrons are expected to attend the event.
“Don’t miss the chance to have your brand featured on our flyers, make incredible sales, and be part of an unforgettable experience,” she urged.
According to her, the previous edition was a great success, attracting patrons from across the country. Due to the growing interest, a larger venue had to be secured to accommodate the anticipated crowd.
“I’m expecting ten times more people than we had at last year’s festival,” she added.
