Central University's Obaasima Crown Taken

ALTHOUGH MANY believed no stars were seen in the skies last Saturday because of the Ghana music awards held at the conference centre, a roll call would have disclosed the absence of a very distinct star.

Trust your usual exciting Chronicle to give you nothing but the best, when the crew decided to find out how the weekend was being celebrated by Ghanaians. A trip to the New Coco Beach resort said it all.

At the beach resort last Saturday, twelve beautiful ladies from the Central University keenly contested for the most cherished crown, "Obaasima."

Having battled through the question and answer segment, talent and many more interesting segments, six ladies made it to the top, awaiting their fate of making it to the finale segment.

The ladies, Cynthia Aya Erhi, Ivy Crenstil, Nana Ama Akoto Darko, Benedicta Ametepe, Eva Odame, Akosua Kumi Gyabaah, Phyllis Kotie, Yaa Boahemaa Frimpong, Debbie Kyere, Adwoa Opoku-Gyamfi, and Abigail thrilled the audience with their talents as they treated them to music, dance and drama, all in the quest of highlighting on the deadly HIV/AIDS pandemic.

Out of the six ladies, three suitable and pretty ladies, Phyllis, Cynthia and Adwoa Opoku-Gyamfi assumed the second runner-up, first runner-up respectively, with Adwoa emerging the ultimate winner, after sailing through tough questioning by the judges.

Praye, the missing trio at the Conference Centre were busily taking it cool at the New Coco Beach resort, entertaining audience with their first hit song "I and my shorty." No wonder they brightened the night up as they were the only stars around.

Live in action was Koo Ofori, the affable joker, noted for his "Good morning, Mr. President" talk on Radio Gold, creating all the smiles and laughter on the faces present.

The "Obaasima Pageant" has its concept of discovering religious and intelligent beauties who can take care of the home and manage the affairs of the society.

The sponsors of the show included U-Touch, New Coco Beach Resort, FC Beauty Pageant etc.
