Wayoosi’s latest musical effort, titled ‘Nana Adobia’, is set to remind Ghanaians of Mahama’s achievements and criticize the current administration led by President Nana Akufo-Addo.

The song is slated for official release on July 23 across all digital platforms.

Wayoosi sang about the unfulfilled promises made by Nana Akufo-Addo and contrasts them with the positive impact he believes Mahama can bring.

In his lyrics, Wayoosi portrays Mahama as a savior ready to heal the nation and urged Ghanaians to give the former president a second chance to lead the country back to prosperity.

Wayoosi, formerly a strong sympathizer of the NPP, switched camps after Mahama provided him financial support during his battle with kidney failure.

In a previous interview, Wayoosi praised Mahama for his personal connection with the people and his accessibility.

He commended Mahama’s 24-hour policy and expressed admiration for the developmental projects initiated during the NDC’s tenure, including the construction of markets, schools, and other infrastructure.

Wayoosi’s campaign song aims to rally support for Mahama and encourage Ghanaians to consider the former president’s track record as they head to the polls.

Even if you add a law degree to a PhD, I will choose a foreign passport – Wayoosi http://34.58.148.58/even-if-you-add-a-law-degree-to-a-phd-i-will-choose-a-foreign-passport-wayoosi/ Mon, 10 Jun 2024 21:08:45 +0000 https://www.adomonline.com/?p=2407394

Kumawood actor, Joseph Osei, popularly known as Wayoosi, has weighed in on the ongoing debate about the worth of a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) to a foreign passport.

He argued that, the two serve entirely different purposes thus should not be compared.

In a video posted on social media, Wayoosi expressed his preference for a foreign passport over a PhD, citing the numerous benefits it offers.

He stated that, even if a law degree were added to the PhD, he would still choose the foreign passport.

“Enough of this pointless debate, okay? How can you equate a foreign passport with a PhD? Even if you combine a law degree with a PhD, my choice would still be the foreign passport. Don’t overthink this and stress yourself,” he said in Twi.

The discussion intensified after Prof. Kobby Mensah, a lecturer at the University of Ghana Business School, remarked that a PhD is not suitable for those in urgent need of employment.

“A PhD is not for the hungry. It is not for gaining employment, neither is it for entrepreneurship. Get that!” he wrote on X.

Many celebrities, including John Dumelo, Sister Afia, and Efia Odo, have also shared their views on the debate.

Wayoosi sends important message to Akufo-Addo over Emission levy http://34.58.148.58/wayoosi-sends-important-message-to-akufo-addo-over-emission-levy/ Tue, 06 Feb 2024 12:04:34 +0000 https://www.adomonline.com/?p=2352255 Ghanaian actor, Joseph Nana Osei, popularly known as Wayoosi, has urged President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to abolish the recently introduced emission levy.

He expressed concern about the additional financial burden imposed by the new levy amidst an already challenging economic climate.

In a TikTok live video, Wayoosi lamented the lack of tangible benefits from these levies.

“Things are tough for Ghanaians at the moment and you are adding this one too?.” he quizzed.

Wayoosi could not fathom why Ghana has introduced this levy when many countries with high levels of pollution do not impose emission levies.

“If we don’t take care, we will soon pay eating levy. The duty should be reduced so that people can buy good cars to avoid too much smoke” he said.

You’ll regret it – Wayoosi sends strong warning to trolls who comment on his height http://34.58.148.58/youll-regret-it-wayoosi-sends-strong-warning-to-trolls-who-comment-on-his-height/ Tue, 15 Mar 2022 20:45:24 +0000 https://www.adomonline.com/?p=2091422 Renowned actor, Joseph Osei known professionally as Wayoosi, is not smiling at trolls who have made it their business to mock him over his height.

Known for his diminutive stature, Wayoosi said he has for some time been harassed by persons he is not acquainted with, for being unusual.

The situation, he said has reached his brim which has caused him to reach the decision to assault any more offenders.

Despite admitting he is relatively disadvantaged, the actor said he will employ all his strength to slap anyone who makes the least effort to make him feel bad.

For persons in doubt of what he can do, Wayoosi revealed he used to be known as the ‘Kofrom bad boy’ due to his wicked nature.

According to him, he used to mingle with the big boys and drug addicts, who trained him on security tactics as well as offensive and defensive tackles.

“I am very short tempered so I don’t like being tempted. Anyone who mocks my height, all I can say is you will regret it. Don’t try it, you will regret it,” he said in an interview on Hammer Time monitored by Adomonline.com

Wayoosi has once been invited to the police station for attacking a television producer with pepper spray after a show.

Speaking on that incident, Wayoosi said his action was warranted after the TV producer made an expensive joke he did not appreciate.

The producer asking “is this one also a human?” did not auger well with him, as that was the second time he [the producer] had made such remarks.

He made reference to that incident to warn trolls of what await them when he meets them face-to-face.

I was forced to drink my own urine in America – Wayoosi http://34.58.148.58/i-was-forced-to-drink-my-own-urine-in-america-wayoosi/ Thu, 12 Aug 2021 18:38:56 +0000 https://www.adomonline.com/?p=1999980 Popular Kumawood actor, Joseph Osei, known in the industry as Wayoosi, has opened up on an unusual decision he took to avoid facing punishment in an overseas country.

Wayoosi disclosed that he was forced to drink his own urine, to avoid facing sanitation sanctions in America.

The actor relocated to America after he bounced back from a near-fatal kidney failure five years ago.

In a latest interview, he disclosed that while on his runs in the State, he felt the urge to urinate, but he could not sight any restroom.

Consequently, Wayoosi continued that he was forced to urinate inside a disposable rubber, with the intention of emptying it at the next available restroom.

However, along the line, he, and some other persons in his car, were stopped for security check – he suspects the reason is that ‘black groups’ have been stereotyped in the country.

During the search, he said the security officer raised concerns about the content of the polythene, and he lied that it was medicine.

Still unconvinced with his response, Wayoosi said the officer ordered him to hand over, which he obeyed and it was then the officer found out it was urine.

To avoid doubts, the celebrated actor said he was forced to drink his urine, after which he explained to the officer that it was a prescription by his doctor.

He made the claims to buttress his point that the system abroad works, unlike this part of the world.

Speaking on the latest episode of Celebrity Ride With Zionfelix, the Kumawood star revealed that he asked God to take his life because “I wasn’t sure I’ll survive”. According to him, he had heard that few people survive during his situation so he wanted to die to save his family from spending a lot of money on him.
“I was not sure I’ll survive because I had heard that it affects only the rich. I had also heard that a lot of people die as a result of kidney problem so all my prayers was not to endure the suffering and my family not to waste money on me. I was always asking God to call me for everything to end but He knew what He was doing.” he told Zionfelix, host of the show.
Wayoosi believes his sickness was a well-calculated plan by God to stop him from his promiscuous lifestyle. Mr. Osei added that he never heard any of the many death rumours, which went viral when he was on his sickbed last year at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital.
