Kobina Ansah
The wave of Kobina Ansah’s epic stage play, TRIBELESS, keeps increasing as June draws nearer. TRIBELESS is a four-cast inspirational tale that you can’t afford to miss. Today, let’s introduce to you the four faces you will be seeing on stage and how the TRIBELESS story has impacted them.
Eugene Evans Arthur
Everyone knows him as the fine host of Birthday TV. The handsome actor is a product of Aggrey Memorial SHS in Cape Coast- Ghana and an alumnus of Abro Media Institute and African University College of Communications in Accra.
Eugene adopted his stage name “YujinSpeaks” when he made his debut appearance in the stage play “I Want To Sue God!” as a spoken word artist. Ever since, he has featured on many platforms and calls theatre his home.
“The Tribeless story is just a reflection of everything I have been through, everything I am and everywhere I will be going in life,” he writes. “Lost my mum at a very young age and that almost crushed everything I dreamt of in life. However, just like the Tribeless story, there’s this drive and thirst for greatness in me that keeps me going regardless,” he narrates.
The voice over artist has an undying passion for media research and anything that will dare his creativity. In the next few years ahead of him, he wants to master the art of public relations while positioning himself as a force to reckon with in the media industry in Africa and beyond.
His mentors in life? Andrew Tandoh Adote, Albert Ocran and Jay Folley.

Richmond Kojo Darkwa
Currently a teaching assistant at the Spanish Department of University of Ghana, the silky-voiced singer and actor has had quite some experience on stage. Theatre has been very fulfilling for him, he confesses.
“Tribeless has taught me the essence of togetherness and teamwork. I have also learnt how to look beyond the flaws of people and see good in them,” he said.
His favorite quotes in the play are “where passion goes today, money will follow tomorrow” and “passion is about following your heart not stomach.”
