The 2014 edition of the concept was extended to a 3-day fair and concert and was officially opened by Deputy Minister of Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts, Dzifa Gomashie on December 18. Organised under the theme \u2018the making of a woman\u2019, the 2014 edition featured \u2018 The Women Fair\u2019, an all women forum and a music concert.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-76210\" src=\"http:\/\/4cd.e16.myftpupload.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Becca-Dance-Efya-2.jpg\" alt=\"Becca Dance Efya-2\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/citifmonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Becca-Dance-Efya-2.jpg 600w, https:\/\/citifmonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Becca-Dance-Efya-2-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Girl Talk Concert <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Despite the relative success of the fair and forum, it was the concert that served to be the crowning glory of Becca Girl Talk this year.

The trio however, chose hugs over the overly emotional moments shared over a decade ago.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-76212\" src=\"http:\/\/4cd.e16.myftpupload.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Becca-Dance-Efya-4.jpg\" alt=\"Becca Dance Efya-4\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/citifmonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Becca-Dance-Efya-4.jpg 400w, https:\/\/citifmonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Becca-Dance-Efya-4-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The stage was then invaded by 3 men who chose between hooded jackets and a bouquet of flowers to hide their identity. Frank Osei, known within the entertainment community as\u00a0 Wutah PV, kicked things off with a rather \u2018affectionate\u2019 rendition of his hit single, \u2018love of my life\u2019. Akwaboah, in a black hooded jacket, followed up with \u2018Nsroma\u2019 which got the ladies in the National Theatre screaming with excitement. That excitement however, reached fever pitch when Kwabena Kwabena strolled onto the stage in his red shorts and a bouquet of flowers. It was electric; and the ladies were loving it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-76213\" src=\"http:\/\/4cd.e16.myftpupload.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Becca-Dance-Efya-5.jpg\" alt=\"Becca Dance Efya-5\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/citifmonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Becca-Dance-Efya-5.jpg 400w, https:\/\/citifmonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Becca-Dance-Efya-5-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Since there cannot be an all-women\u2019s show without an emotionally charged, teary eyed moment, the organisers allowed a young man from Charter House to propose to his girlfriend. Amid shouts of \u201ckiss, kiss, kiss\u201d, the young man spewed some well-rehearsed lines from the heart and walked away with a bride-to-be.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-76215\" src=\"http:\/\/4cd.e16.myftpupload.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Becca-Dance-Efya-8.jpg\" alt=\"Becca Dance Efya-8\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/citifmonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Becca-Dance-Efya-8.jpg 600w, https:\/\/citifmonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Becca-Dance-Efya-8-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When Becca took the liberty of hitting the right notes on fellow songstress, Efya\u2019s \u2018little things\u2019, it was only a matter of time before she (Efya) returned the favour. And oh what a favour that was. Not only did the eccentric female singer command the Becca\u2019s \u2018African woman\u2019 song, she sprung a surprise of her own when London-based Off-Da-Ground (ODG) Records artiste, Itz Tiffany, took to the stage with a very well choreographed \u2018adowa\u2019 (traditional dance style of Akans in Ghana) sequence. The ladies in the auditorium were in full voice at this moment, cheering and clapping without a reservation in the world.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-76217\" src=\"http:\/\/4cd.e16.myftpupload.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Becca-EL-1.jpg\" alt=\"Becca EL-1\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/citifmonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Becca-EL-1.jpg 400w, https:\/\/citifmonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Becca-EL-1-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The tempo was turned up a notch further when Ghanaian gospel music group No Tribe joined Becca on stage. Though it was hard to believe Becca\u2019s shock at having the group\u2019s leaders Nana Kweku Osei, better known as Nacy, and his friend, Lord Bondzie-Amissah on stage with her, their performance shocked no one. They did not disappoint their numerous fans and even called them on stage for a dance session.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-76243\" src=\"http:\/\/4cd.e16.myftpupload.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Becca-Kwabena-3.jpg\" alt=\"Becca Kwabena-3\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/citifmonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Becca-Kwabena-3.jpg 600w, https:\/\/citifmonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Becca-Kwabena-3-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Hiphop and hiplife music producer and performer EL, then sent the ladies in the auditorium screaming once again when he was introduced as the surprise act for the night. Dressed in a white jacket with his trademark baseball cap and sunglasses, the \u2018ayayaa\u2019 hit maker further cemented his place in the hearts of his female fans. His message to the ladies after his heated performance was that, he was still single.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-76241\" src=\"http:\/\/4cd.e16.myftpupload.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Becca-Kwabena-1.jpg\" alt=\"Becca Kwabena-1\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/citifmonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Becca-Kwabena-1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/citifmonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Becca-Kwabena-1-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Trigmatic, born Enoch Oduro, moved things along with Becca as he grooved to their hit single, move.

The event started over 45 minutes late. Whether it was due to the small number of people who showed up on time or the unpreparedness of the organisers is yet to be seen. The long delays in the initial sections of the show also took something away from the event unfortunately.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-76264\" src=\"http:\/\/4cd.e16.myftpupload.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Becca-Wutah-1.jpg\" alt=\"Becca Wutah -1\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/citifmonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Becca-Wutah-1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/citifmonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Becca-Wutah-1-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>However, that is probably stretching things.
