According to him, men are not trustworthy and can easily topple Becca’s ambitions in life.

“As for me, I’ll not even advise her to get married – because men are bad. Oh yea. Me, I’m a bad husband but a good father. I put a lot of tears on my wife’s face,” he said.

He said this when Becca was asked by Doctor Cann on Happy FM’s ‘Showbiz Xtra’ whether she felt bad for not being married.

After Becca had answered that she was not in haste to get married, Bulldog butted in to give the advice to the sultry singer.

During the press launch of her latest album at the Zylofon Media office at East Legon in Accra, she spoke about what she has gone through in her 10 years of music.

“A lot of people do not get the opportunity to stay in the music industry for 10 years and that I am grateful for. A lot of people come and in 2 years, 3 years, 5 years they are gone and I have done it for 10 years and so I want to say thank you to God and the media. Ten years hasn’t been easy at all.

There’ve been ups and downs but in it all I believe that God has been faithful,” she said.

The album titled ‘Unveiling,’ marks the rebirth of Becca. She said the album shows how she has matured in the music industry and the new challenges she has taken up.

The 13-track album features Joyce Blessing, Mr. Eazi, Stonebwoy, Kofi Kinaata, Bisa K Dei and Patoranking.

Currently, her song ‘Na Wash’ which features Patoranking is making great impact on the Ghanaian music scene and on the international music market. Recently it earned her nominations in the Ghana Music Awards UK.

Becca got into the Ghanaian music industry in 2007 after she had pulled out of the TV3 ‘Mentor’ music reality show. She was signed by Kiki Banson’s EKB Records and during the period churned out great songs like ‘You Lied to Me,’ ‘No Away,’ ‘Forever,’ ‘African Women,’ and ‘You and I.’

She is currently under the aegis of Zylofon Media record label.

On the show, a lady called in and said she had met Samini at the National Theatre last year, exchanged contacts, planned meeting up but later Samini blocked her phone number.

Befuddled by the statements, Samini asked who she was and whether he had proposed love to her.

When she responded in the affirmative, Samini called her “witch” only to have realised in the end that it was musician Becca he had been speaking to.

Apparently, this was a prank that the host, Feeling Daddy and Becca planned to pull on Samini.

Similar sensitization workshops had already been carried out in Central, Western, Eastern, Ashanti, Volta, Brong Ahafo, Upper West and Upper East regions.

The sensitization by the Taskforce was carried out under the instruction of the President Dramani Mahama to ensure that dealers and the public understood the work of the Taskforce so as to help with information for the seizure of pirated textiles imported into the country.

Appiah Donyina, Chairman of the TSDPGTD who addressed the last in the series of fora across the country in Tamale on Thursday said, government had the obligation to ensure the protection of trade commodities and that counterfeit products must be seized.

He explained that government had no intentions to ban the importation of textiles into the country but rather frowned on the importation of pirated or fake textiles into the Ghanaian market noting that importers who had the habit of sending Ghanaian textile to China to be pirated must stop the act else they would not be spared when caught.

Mr Donyina indicated that over 6,000 pirated textiles had been burnt since the Taskforce started its work in 2010 and that 2,000 more had also been seized pending burning and stressed that more seizures would be done until it freed the Ghanaian market of pirated textiles.

Abdul-Rahaman Hannan Gundadow, Tamale Metropolitan Chief Executive who read a speech on behalf of the Northern Regional Minister Alhaji Limuna Mohammed-Muniru said the Taskforce was to protect the local textile industries to promote made-in-Ghana textile prints.

He observed that the Northern Region was a casualty to the collapse of the textile industry saying, “the collapse of the textile industry due to trade in pirated textile and imports of cheap textile led to loss of jobs and incomes that were derived from cotton farming”.

“In the 1980’s, the textile industry, which used to employ over 30,000 workers could only boast of less than 3,000 workers due to the fact that the industry is operating below 30 percent of its installed capacity”, he said.

Eugene Adarkwa Addai, a member of the Taskforce said every African textile had standards because they all had 100 percent cotton and could be identified by its label and self-edging.

He blamed Ghanaians for killing the local textile industry and urged importers who were interested in importing textile into the country to follow laid down rules at the Ministry of Trade and Industry to import counterfeit-free products.
