NANA KOFI MAISON 

Editor 

A 

wise man once said ‘when God solves 

your problems, you have faith in HIS 

abilities; when God doesn’t solve your 

problems He has faith in YOUR abilities’. 

The success we seek or the feat we wish 

to cover will not come by mere wishes, but to 

those who are willing to work earnestly in order 

to achieve their desires. One thing we often 

overlook is the ability to correlate other potentials 

with similar interest to attain our goals. 

Most relationships and organizations suffer 

and lose progressive future due to their inability 

to consciously align with others to create a formidable, 

robust future. 

But one needs to understand that seeking 

alignment or partnership comes with a great 

price in that we first have to work on ourselves 

and looking within if we are ready to take such 

steps. 

I agree with one great mentor, Jim Rohn when 

he said “To attract attractive people, you must 

be attractive. To attract powerful people, you 

must be powerful. To attract committed people, 

you must be committed. Instead of going 

to work on them, you go to work on yourself. If 

you become, you can attract.” Being our maiden 

edition, we at GhStar Magazine shall align 

with our team, readers and clients to build one 

great magazine firm on the face of the earth. 

God help us!!!

STEP 1 

Every relationship experiences its share of problems. But when things get so bad that you 

wonder if the relationship is worth saving, that’s the time to step back and take a careful 

look. One of the worst things either partner in a relationship can do is to make an emotional 

decision before considering all the practical issues. As impossible as it may seem 

when things begin to go wrong, there are steps you can take to save a dying relationship. 

John Gottman, who conducts research on marriage and family dynamics, suggests that 

often it’s emotional distance, and not conflict, that causes problems in a relationship. 

HOW TO 

Identify the problem. You can’t fix your 

relationship until you know for certain 

what is broken. Once you know what 

went wrong, you can work on repai 

ring the damage. Amy Botwinick, 

author of “Congratulations on 

Your Divorce: The Road To Fin 

ding Your Happily Ever After,” 

points out that you need to be 

realistic and honest when eva 

luating your relationship, esp 

ecially if you are considering 

divorce. Divorce might not ne 

cessarily be the best option, 

however Botwinick emphasiz 

es that when individuals expe 

rience serious problems in a re 

lationship, it’s time to give car 

eful thought to what it will really 

take to make it work. 

STEP 2 

STEP 3 

FIX A 

Place things in perspective. Couples frequently 

have to give each other space for a 

while to sort things out. Having a little time 

on your own to think gives you the opportunity 

to calm down. Afterward, you might be 

less likely to make rash decisions. 

Assume responsibility for your actions, and 

avoid blaming the other person. Partners 

never should have to defend themselves, since 

sincerity can have more of an impact on the 

other person than arguing. If you want your 

relationship to survive, it takes two to commit 

to making it work. When couples show 

empathy for each other’s feelings, they can 

usually deal with their problems in a more 

pragmatic manner. 

DYING 

RELATIONSHIP 

STEP 4 

STEP 5 

Hebusci conscit Catam 

tastis verdi. 

Forgive each other. According to Mayo Clinic, forgiveness 

can take time. However, a couple needs to 

restore the trust in the relationship before partners 

can move their lives together forward in a positive 

direction. 

Talk with each other, but not before you can talk 

calmly and rationally. Keep the lines of communication 

open, and discuss the problems in 

your relationship openly and honestly. 

Listen to what your partner has to say. This lets 

him know that you respect him. Make him feel like 

he can talk to you about anything that is bothering 

him. A study reported in the July 2003 issue of 

the “Journal of Personality and Social Psychology”

STEP 7 

ried partners kept a daily diary for three weeks, 

recording perceptions of their spouses’ regard for 

them. 

Compromise, especially in relation to sharing 

problems and responsibilities. Determine whether 

the two of you are working toward the same goals, 

and if you are willing to work on solving your 

problems together.

OUR 

STORY 



Our Board of Directors... 

“….I placed a request for a cheque 

book with my branch about 3 

weeks ago. As of today, no one 

has called to inform me whether 

it’s in or not. Why is this taking so 

long these days...? Have things 

changed with your Bank…?” Those 

were the words of an obviously 

irate customer who had called me 

on the phone to express her frustration. 

It was not unusual to have 

such an experience as my contact 

details are displayed in our Banking 

halls as a sign of our commitment 

to service excellence. I listened patiently 

to the customer and offered 

to ensure that her needs were catered 

to at the earliest time practicable. 

Worrying though it was, 

to hear such news from a client I 

could ignore the fact that within 

that feeling of distress lay a subtle 

realization of how far we had come 

as an institution. That day was 

March 4th, 2013. 

Since 2008 when we commenced 

operations, BEIGE 

Capital witnessed continuous 

growth in scope, size and nature 

of operations. From the 

initial status of a money lending 

institution, we have survived 

the delivery of financial 

services at the micro and small 

scale levels and have now built 

capacity to provide banking 

services to medium-sized institutions. 

Beyond gaining maturity, 

our experience over the period 

has usefully transformed 

our understanding of the market, 

our clients, our people and 

even other stakeholders such 

that our relationships are getting 

better by age. Today, we 

hold dear and remain more 

resolute to our ideals–integrity, 

discipline, commitment,hard 

work and teamwork – as a 

company. 

Our credentials are modest for 

now but not our aspirations….. 

they are ambitious. We are and 

would continue to invest more 

in our people, systems and 

procedures as well as other initiatives 

that would support our 

quest to becoming a successful 

financial institution in our 

time and beyond.

THINGS 

YOU SHOULD START 

DOING THAT WILL HELP 

YOU IN 10 YEARS 

FROM NOW 

Subscribe to interesting blogs like Brain 

09. Pickings (insightful long form posts on 

life, art, science, design, history, philosophy, and 

more) to expand your scope or learning. 

If you can’t commit to long form posts, find useful

No matter how much you develop the necessary 

skills to improve any given aspect 

of your life, you can always get better. 

There is no book, no method, no person, nor tool 

that can bring you to perfection in any area of 

your life. Getting better, improving yourself, is a 

never-ending process. 

These are a few ideas on what you can do now 

that can have a significant impact on your life 

and career now and in the future. 

If you do anything, do this first one: learn 

01. how to work hard and stick with something. 

Learn how to turn off the distractions of 

social media and focus on what matters most 

to you. You’ll instantly be ahead of a majority of 

your generation. 

Keep learning new things. This is one of 

13. the most underrated virtues and a prerequisite 

for mental health. And it doesn’t have 

to be a new language, or a musical instrument, if 

you don’t have the time. 

New words, games. ideas, philosophies etc. 

Reading a random wiki page everyday, solving 

crossword or sudoku can be equally refreshing 

for the brain. 

Be prepared for the unexpected. Life is 

14. what happens when we are busy making 

other plans. It may not necessarily be unpleasant 

or bad but even if it is, try to handle it in 

the best possible manner. 

Pick up an athletic hobby that you can 

02. do through the years, or your sedentary 

academic lifestyle will do horrible things to your 

posture, back, and gut. 

Learn how to deal with interpersonal 

03. conflicts. Read Crucial Conversations 

and practice it’s a life changer 

Learn how to talk on the phone with people 

you don’t know. It still terrifies most 

04. 

people. You could use some of your free time to 

read about ways to conquer the fear. The best 

way to conquer your fear though is constant 

practice. 

Start some kind of little side venture to 

05. learn entrepreneurial principles. Pursue 

your passion. Even if you fail, you at least tried. 

Buy and sell stuff on Craigslist, do anything. You 

might need them if you’re in between jobs. Your 

spare time could be put to good use. 

Take a course on your favourite subject 

06. and other topics that are very new to 

you. It will force you to expand your world view 

on different topics that could be of importance 

in the future. 

Meditate. Preferably every morning. If 

07. you can’t do that at least ensure that you 

quieten your mind for 10 mins during the day. 

Don’t think about anything. Just listen to yourself 

breathe. And BE. 

Sort out your thoughts, verbalize them, 

08. and then write down what comes to 

mind. Take time to think through ideas, projects 

or your interests and enjoy the peace that 

comes with just doing nothing for a short period 

of time. 

Take an interest in psychology. Psychology 

helps us analyze our thoughts and 

10. 

actions, and helps us understand our own motivations. 

If you want to improve, you must first be 

capable of looking at yourself from an objective 

point of view, from outside yourself. 

Create good habits. Our ability to improve 

is largely determined by our hab- 

11. 

its. Our habits influence the way we respond to 

any given situation, and ultimately they define 

how efficient we can become. Work on your 

habits and on your willpower, constantly. 

Travel. Explore. Experiment. The more 

12. things you will explore more experience 

you will have. And these experiences will cherish 

you, in future. So earn them, before it is too late. 

Do not be afraid to take risks. 

Keep improving in the field you are best 

15. at. Focus on what fascinates you most. 

The more you know about the topics that are 

close to your heart, the more you will be able to 

benefit from it in the future. Choose yourself and 

develop that passion today. 

Balance in life is essential. Don’t overdo, 

don’t neglect. Like when playing a 

16. 

stringed instrument, the string must not be too 

loose or you don’t get any music from it. If it’s 

too tight, it can break. When just right, it can be 

the source of magnificent music. 

Balance is the key: rest and activity; diving deep 

within and plunging into activity. Swing between 

silence and dynamism, rest and activity. All 

should be there, all in proper balance.

with one “S” (giggles). Well, Richard is the only 

son and latter child of Mr. Peter Mensa Owusu 

and Mrs. Felicia Owusu of blessed memory, an 

Ashanti from Kumasi Eyigya and a very good 

Christian for that matter. 

GH STAR: Can you share with us some challenges 

you faced while growing up? 

KALYBOS: I wouldn’t term it as challenges rather 

a challenge which is the lack of motherly 

love. I lost my mother at a tender age. Though 

I substituted it with love and affection from my 

dad and sisters, it could never suffice that of a 

mother’s love which I never had. 

GH STAR: Our condolences. 

KALYBOS: It is well. 

GH STAR: Can you share with us how you 

managed to get into the industry? 

KALYBOS: As a result of observing my father 

do his own thing, I became obsessed with 

the use of cameras. Consequently, the passion 

began to grow in me .After high school, 

I began to work with Sparrow Productions 

where I assisted John Pasa who nurtured 

me in photography so I enrolled into National 

Film and Television Institute (NAFTI) to 

study cinematography. 

GH STAR: So why comic acting? 

KALYBOS: I chose comedy because I wanted 

to be part of those who could wipe the 

tear of a distressed Ghanaian. I felt the urge 

to make people happy and help release tension 

so we begun the Boys Kasa Sketch. It 

was an idea brought up by a group including 

the producer-director Kofi Asamoah, Aho) 

f3 Patri and me. We made it global and free 

to make it accessible to all

“THE ONLY BOS 

WITH ONE S” 

GH STAR: Are some of the decisions you made 

back then influencing your present life? 

KALYBOS: Not really, especially back in high 

school. I studied building and construction 

hoping to be an architect. Contrarily; I branched 

into acting which is a complete divergence. 

GH STAR: What inspired you to pursue your 

dream? 

KALYBOS: I inherited it from my father who is a 

professional photographer. While growing up, 

I observed how he manipulated his camera, it 

was so inspiring that I fell in love with his work 

and now I find myself doing the same thing 

and even more. 

GH STAR: How long have you been in the industry? 

KALYBOS: I can say that I was born into the 

industry as a result of my father’s occupation 

GH STAR: We believe you are versatile, multi 

talented, you are on TV radio. What is your 

secret? 

KALYBOS: Talented? To some extent I would 

say yes because it takes a talented person 

to be both in front and behind the camera. 

My secret is just one and that is God accompanied 

by observation is what has brought 

me this far. I couldn’t have made it without 

his help. 

GH STAR: Which celebrities do you believe 

are the most influential? 

KALYBOS: I really admire people with natural 

talent and I think Kwaku Sintim Misa (KSM) 

as well as Funny Face is the best match. I 

admire how they articulate their vision to 

make it a reality. 

GH STAR: Where do you see yourself in the 

competition of acting? 

KALYBOS: Honestly I see myself as a beginner 

who has a lot to learn. People sometimes 

wonder why I don’t do stand-up comedy 

but personally I think am not there yet, 

as at now am into comic acting. Stand-up 

comedy takes more practice than usual to 

get there so I can say am still in the learning 

process. 

GH STAR: Who do you love more, friends, 

family or yourself? 

KALYBOS: I love myself, I know 

you may be thinking that it’s a selfish 

answer but no its not. I believe 

if a person loves himself it gives 

him an opportunity to open up to 

show others that he really is in order 

to be appreciated and loved 

back. Hating yourself means you 

do not believe in yourself. 

GH STAR: Share with us your 

likes and dislikes in terms of food, 

women, music etc 

KALYBOS: I LOVE FOOD- infact I 

think it’s my only weakness specifically 

fufu. For Women anything 

goes so long as she’s a 

good cook. 

GH STAR: Do you have hobbies? 

KALYBOS: I do have hobbies and 

the primary one is swimming, it’s 

a form of exercise for me and 

helps in blood circulation and 

I will personally recommend it 

for stroke patients. I love being 

in doors watching movies that 

builds my cognition” 

GH STAR: Who is your celebrity 

crush? 

KALYBOS: My celebrity crush is 

Angelina Jolie. However in Ghana, 

it’s a combination of celebrities 

such as Rachael, Afia, Jocelyn, 

and Becca. So honestly, I like 

them all especially natural people 

like Becca and Ahuofe Patricia” 

GH STAR: What projects are you 

currently working on? 

KALYBOS: Currently I am working 

on my second movie that is ‘Kalybos 

in China’ and a couple of TV 

series that 

are being aired like ‘Guy Guy’ currently 

on GTV as well as the ‘Boys 

Kasa’ sketch. 

GH STAR: Where do you see yourself 

in the next 10 years? 

KALYBOS: In Accra (giggles): Married 

with two stubborn kids, to be 

successful in my career, establish 

a crèche and a film school. I would 

also like to go international. 

GH STAR: What advise will you 

give to the upcoming generation? 

KALYBOS: To the upcoming comedians 

remember a thousand 

miles begin with a step! Nothing 

comes off easily; never give up. 

With perseverance and passion 

as a bedrock you can make it. 

GH STAR: Thank you very much 

and enjoy your day. 

KALYBOS: You are most welcome

5 tips to make your hair grow faster 

Any woman’s wish is to have a long, healthy 

and beautiful hair. However, hair takes its 

time to grow and we don’t usually tend to 

wait for it. We feel the need to do something 

about it. There’s countless options we can 

follow, to speed our hair’s healthy growth. There’s 

no such thing as magical potions to make it grow 

suddenly though. If your purpose is to make your 

hair grow from a shoulder’s length hair to mid 

back length hair quickly, I’m afraid you won’t get it. 

Technically all you can actually do, is to apply hair 

extensions, clip on ponytails or long wigs. 

If you know what patience means though, there’s 

a couple of tips you can follow to maximize all 

your hair’s potential and consequently make it 

grow slightly faster than usual. Here are my 5 tips 

to make your hair grow faster! 

01. PRACTICE GOOD HAIR HABITS 

If you want to have your hair grow faster, you need 

healthy hair. Good hair habits will help you avoid 

damaging your hair and keep it healthy. 

Here some good practices: 

1. Use a brush with natural boar bristles. 

2. Don’t braid or put your hair in a ponytail when it 

is still wet. 

3. Avoid chemical treatments such as bleaching, 

perms, coloring or highlighting. 

4. Minimize heat styling with things such as hot 

combs, hair dryers and curling irons. 

5. Although the best thing to do, is to avoid using 

heat styling, it is still important to dry your hairs 

roots after washing it. I learnt this with a specialized 

doctor. The roots of our hair take a long time 

to dry whenever we wash it, between 2 and 3 days 

actually. Therefore, it is extremely important to 

dry it with a hair dryer. Do not forget the important 

thing to is, is to dry your hairs roots, not the ends. 

If you leave the ends wet, is no big deal. 

02. MAINTAIN A HEALTHY DIET 

Eating well and healthy is really important. You 

must eat lots of fruits and vegetables. You 

should also do a diet based on proteins. Since 

hair is protein, a diet that is too low in protein 

may cause some thinning hair or a retardation in 

the growth cycle. For instance, fish, eggs, beans 

or yogurt, are filled with protein. Soy protein has 

also been found to be helpful in stimulating hair 

growth. 

Remember, beauty comes from the inside. In a 

way, you are what you eat. If you feed yourself 

lots of healthy nourishing foods your body will 

reflect this. 

03. FLAXSEED OIL 

Flax Seed Oil is a blue flowering plant that is 

grown on the Western Canadian Prairies for its 

oil rich seeds. This natural oil is highly recommended 

for the general well being and whole 

body nutrition. It is a natural acids source that 

are essential to keep our body healthy. 

They are also good for the heart, reducing the 

risk of coronary heart disease. The recommended 

daily dose for most people is at least1,000 mg 

taken one to three times daily. Therefore, if you 

don’t eat much fish, you must take the Flax Seed 

Oil supply in order to help your body have all the 

vitamins you need and consequently speed up 

your hairs growth. 

5 tips to make your hair grow faster 


04. KEEP IT TRIMMED! 

To cut your split end is very important. When 

you ignore split ends, it ends up leaving you 

with shorter hair due to breakage. Damage 

to your hair will move up from the ends and 

the only way to stop it in its tracks is to remove 

it as soon as it happens. Do not forget 

the hair starts growing from the root, not 

the ends. Therefore, whenever the split ends 

are cut, your hair follicle is working less to 

repair split, dead ends and working more in 

the root. If you cut the ends frequently, your 

hair will grow faster and healthier. Trust me, 

it’s true! 

It’s always easy to talk though. It’s hard to 

put it into action. I hate having to trim my 

hair when I have worked so hard on making 

it long! But it’s a need that will bring good 

results in a long-term time. Just be patient 

05. MASSAGE THE SCALP 

Always give yourself a scalp massage. You 

will want to massage your hair’s at least 

three times a week. Use the tips of your 

hands and firmly massage your scalp. Make 

sure you cover the entire head. With a good 

scalp massage you increase blood circulation 

which enriches skin with essential nutrients 

and oxygen. After a massage actively 

circulating blood brings the nutrients to do 

hair’s follicles. Besides, massage helps to 

relax and improves the strength of the roots.

WELCOME TO THE WECHIAU COMMUNITY 

HIPPO SANCTUARY WEB PAGE @ ARU 

STUDIOS 

The Wechiau Community 

Hippo Sanctuary is located 

in the Upper West Region 

of Ghana. The Sanctuary is 

a community effort that continues 

to shine brightly as a success 

story for conservation that 

protects one of only two hippo 

ponds that live in the Volta River, 

Ghana. The people of the Wechiau 

traditional area established 

the community operated sanctuary 

in 1999. The writer, Norman’s 

introduction to the Wechiau 

Community Hippo Sanctuary 

came through the Calgary Zoo, 

partners in the award winning 

project. After visiting Wechiau, I 

saw first-hand how the effort to 

protect the hippos have not only 

created a better environment for 

the habitat but also has improved 

the communities that reside within 

the sanctuary. There is something 

magical about Wechiau, to 

visit the communities that make 

the sanctuary a better place for all 

PANORAMA 

GH 



in the Black Volta River. The 

Calgary Zoo partnered with the 

communities of the Wechiau 

region to establish the Wechiau 

Community Hippo Sanctuary. 

The symbiotic relationship between 

the people and the hippos 

continues to evolve to this 

day. To protect the hippos and 

their habitat, the people of this 

region of Upper West Ghana 

made great sacrifices. Many of 

the villages within the sanctuary 

moved away from the river 

to create a feeding/buffer zone 

for the Hippos, this was a huge 

undertaking. How can moving 

away from water and managof 

its inhabitants is special. “Norman 

Nemeth. Norman’s travels 

have taken him on two occasions 

to Wechiau, once in 2007 and then 

2009. The Wechiau Community 

Hippo Sanctuary is running a 

40km stretch of the Black Volta 

River bordering Burkino Faso in 

North West Ghana. Norman has 

visited Wechiau twice, once in 

2007 and again in 2009. 

HISTORY OF THE 

WECHIAU COMMUNITY 

HIPPO SANCTUARY 

“The history of the Wechiau 

Community Hippo Sanctuary 

and how it has evolved is an incredible 

story. This summary of 

Wechiau is a collection of tit bits 

and articles that I have gathered 

to share my passion for all things 

Wechiau.”- Norman Nemeth. 

The people of the Wechiau, according 

to local legend, began 

a special bond with the hippos 

long ago. The following quote is 

from Legend of Wechiau Guide 

Book-People of the Wechiau 

Community Hippo Sanctuary { 

WCHS}, chapter two. “During the 

slave trade our people were running 

away to avoid being captured. 

They reached the Black 

Volta River and didn’t know how 

to cross. Then they saw the hippos. 

The hippos let the people 

go onto their backs and carried 

them across the river to safety. 

When the enemy came they 

saw only water and rocks. They 

tried to cross on the rocks, 

but, the rocks were in fact hippos! 

Once a good number of 

the enemy were standing on 

top of the hippos, the animals 

moved and the enemy fell into 

the river and perished. As a result, 

the hippo has become a 

sacred animal.”-Gurungu-Naa, 

Naa Bandanaa Chielinah II. It is 

the ancestors of both the people 

of Wechiau and the hippos 

that have created a bond that 

requires mutual efforts in protecting 

one another. The Black 

Volta River is home to only two 

surviving ponds of hippos found 

ing the environment benefit the 

people? The communities that 

reside within the Wechiau Community 

Hippo Sanctuary have 

benefited in investors such as 

the Calgary Zoo Conservation 

Outreach, NCRC, and there are 

supporters as far away as Canada 

and England. Eco-tourism is 

very well executed in Wechiau, 

with managing the environment 

the people of the Wechiau Community 

Hippo Sanctuary has 

become a shining example of 

conservation. Since the birth of 

the sanctuary 17 bore holes for 

water, 540 solar light systems 

for people’s homes, two Primary 

schools and a clinic are realities. 

Protecting the hippos has led to 

many developments that provide 

the benefits that both the 

environment and people of the 

sanctuary enjoy. In 2008 the 

Wechiau Community Hippo 

Sanctuary received two awards 

from the United Nations Equator 

Prize. The awards recognize 

the best examples of reducing 

poverty through bio diversity. 

“To visit Wechiau and see firsthand 

how a community has 

created industry while protecting 

the environment is amazing. 

To be part of the communities 

that support the development of 

the Wechiau Community Hippo 

Sanctuary is special. I will always 

be Dreaming of Wechiau.”- 

Norman Nemeth.

instagram to make it publicly known under 

‘‘I think Jay Foley May Be Worshiping Another 

‘God’’ - [+Yaa Pono+]
