Popular Ghanaians whose careers got ruined by politics – Politics is one area that you don’t want to venture if you don’t have the heart! It can make you or ruin you in a split second. With the kind of politics we practice in this part of town, one is seen as an enemy if one’s political affiliation is different from another. Therefore most business people will not publicly display their political affiliation. This is to prevent them from being victimized by the people (supporters) on the other side.

5. Grace Omaboe – Maame Dokono
The veteran actress was one of the most sort after actresses in Ghana. She aligned herself with the National Democratic Party through the 31st December Womens Movement. She contested as a parliament candidate on the ticket of the NDC but lost. After having issues with the Rawlings’, she defected to the opposition New Patriotic Party. She contested as a parliamentary candidate on the ticket of the NPP and lost once again.
After the NDC won the election and came to power, her orphanage got shut down with rape and sodomy scandals amidst claims of her operating without a valid certificate. She’s not been the same since then. Her prominence on screen has diminished and her popularity has waned drastically.
