Directed by Egbert Adjesu, featuring Bob Cole, and rooted in Ghana’s concert party tradition.
When wealth
speaks loudest.
Kobina Jones returns to Ghana after fifteen years in Nigeria, seeking a wife and a family to share his wealth. Osua Abor Buor promises to find him a wife and introduces his niece, Rosina.
Rosina’s mother, Araba Stamp, supports the match. Her father, Kwesi Tsuii, remains deeply unconvinced. As relatives, elders, and townspeople lend their support, the marriage moves ahead without his approval.
