what is all this 'when did this come in and that'@GSB, please exercise some degree of respect. we seem to learn and over learn in the wrong way. The pride is killing us , please cut it. Delay needs to respect her guests by posing questions devoid of ambiguities. Kill the pride, please.
Delay is very disrespectful and I don't know why people agree to be interviewed by her. She will not ask any questions pertaining to your work or whatsoever. All she does is dig up dirt on you and make you look ridiculous on her show. The way she treated Akua Donkor with disdain on her platform is a classic example.
What you need to understand is that this is business and not moral lessons (talking about the Delay Show). You can't tell me that all the guests appearing on the show have never watched the Delay Show or they don't know what they are in for. As a matter of fact some of the guests are even on there for a second or third time. So my question is if you will agree to be interviewed by a host you brand " rude, prejudiced/presumptuous..." then what makes you? When you put your life in the public domain either in the entertainment industry, political circle, Sports or whatever then you seize to have a Private Life. That's it! People will lie about you like they did to Nana Addo, people will insult you like they did to Mahama; but you must show maturity and argue your point across. you don't jump into the gutters with them. That is what protects the so called brand you talked about.Journalists are know for asking questions which are rude, leading, lies, etc. you don't loose your temper in that case. You talk wisdom to show what you are made of and leave the world to judge after. In any civilised community we argue to put our point across and not make a mess out of yourself.
No doubt delay show is on top because of her ability to get people to discuss speculations about themselves. he doesn't ask the usual basic questions which is commendable. However, overtime, she has beome thirsty for views and inconsiderate of the posionalities of the quests on her show. There is such a thing as being respectful of your interviewees, knowing that they have a brand which they have worked hard for to protect. Delay is human, the point is you can ask difficult questions without being rude, prejudiced/presumptuous. What is the essence of 1: Chris waddle: why did you decide to go on stage naked? Is it because you think you are the only person who is high on weed in Accra? -- Let's look at the definition of Bastard. Your child is a bastard." Where is this line of questioning leading to. Even when people try to dispel rumors she insists these rumors which she went to read about are true. She forces her opinions on her guests. Then she takes the judgemental route> Just because of a simple slip of tongue she concluded Jay Foley is a chauvinist. and then she stood on that point for awhile and insisted the guy is chauvinistic. Lets talk about Ekua Donkor interview she could have given the woman a break before continuing the interview. We are Africans who have been raised to respect our elders how is that delay can tell Ekua donkor to stop shouting and speak into the mike on national tv. Is that not an embarassment. She continued to challenge ekua to beat her if she can. After interviewing Vivian jill she back to claim on another episode that Vivian came to brag on her show- which wasn't the case. Interviewing 101- Do not ask leading questions. Don't be judgemental, respect the privacy of your interviewees. Like it or not Delay has developed a sense of pride that needs to be checked. Oprah is hard on her guests (since every one wants to put her in that category) but respectful of them at the same time. There is a way you can present the truth to people without disrespecting them. Besides who are you to talk down at people . Lets be fair and respectful of one another all the time.
That is a very ***barred word*** question to ask
One can't be doing the same thing everyday and expect a different results. That's the mind set of the average Ghanaian unfortunately. You expect Delay to be like one of them interviewers out there where you go to the show and talk about your school, marriage and all them stuff. " Dare To Be Different" and that's what Delay is. The Delay Show is on Top and it will be on top for years because it is different. In any case No One is forced to come on the Delay Show. Everyone wants to be there because its the top show in town. So don't go and sit and later come and behave like kids. You can't migrate to Canada and expect to have sunshine 365 days in a year. Matured people knows how to handle issues/questions even if its provoking. I told you about Nana Aba Anamoah; look at how she handled her questions. That's matured brains. If you will come and behave like Akua Donkor then it's your own cup of tea.
First of all, Delay's question was just plain rude and condescending. She could have simply asked 1. Are you dating chris waddle? 2. You just talked about your desire to get married: where do you see your relationship with Chris in the next few years. Do you see yourself marrying him. Is he one who is really into the idea of marriage. This is a more respectful approach to interviewing. The statement Delay made was a declaration of judgement. Assuming Okoro is dating Chris she would have clearing disrespected Okoro's decision to stay with him. It shows delay has no respect for Chris and even Yvonne herself. It means Delay doesn't consider Chris one who be dated and possibly married. How do you expect her to feel (again if these rumors are true) if she is actually dating the guy? Clearly delay is biased. You talked about theway she interviewed Asamoah Gyan. First, she doesn't place all her interviewees on the same pedestal. Look at how she spoke with Ophelia Nyantakyi, Okyeame Kwame and later on his wife and Ester Smith (even when she was speaking about their broken marriages) versus her demeanor and way of speaking with Ekua Donkor, Chris waddle, and the likes. She respects the rich and those she considers as having a certain educational and financial background. Look at her facial expression anytime she asks someone whether he/she has made money and she thinks they haven't made enough money yet. Look at how she insisted that Mzbel's child is a bastard. She went further to cut her off when she started explaining herself. Just be a discerning viewer she doesn't come to the interview with an open-mind but to an extent I believe her desire to have a different style of interviewing: the desire to draw controversy and views and appear fearless overshadows the moral duty to ensure that reputation of the people she interviews is enhanced in a more positive light. I don't know what the delay show would do for anybody's brand. She hardly spends time to discuss the projects people are involved in. Her focus is becoming Iyanla Vanzant when she needs to focus on how to get down her high horse. Don't get me wrong I also appreciate the fact that she gives you the platform to dispel rumors. I like her entrepreneurial spirit and her resilience but I could write a whole review on her interviews and that would pass for a book. No need. Does she even have advisors or she is just stuck in her ways.
You too get some sense cos if u watch the video carefully u will realize the lady was asking a question and not a statement. If u say she is dating Chris then she is asking if Chris is an ani**mal meaning so far as criss is a human and not an ani**mal there is nothing with it if they are really dating. she wasn't upset so peacefm shouldn't put that headline and she made the show look wonderful

All you getting upset on Delay's Show and showing your immature and lack of wisdom nature are pathetic. When you agree to be interviewed understand what you are in for. Questions are meant for you to clarify what it's already in the public domain so why get upset and behave like a child? People like Joyce Blessings, Vicky Zugah and this Yvone Okoro girl needs a bit of wisdom to conduct themselves about.Look at how even Asamoah Gyan handled the whole show, it tells how matured he is. Very painful lies being said about him yet he took time to answer all. Go back and check Delay's interview with Nana Aba Anamoah, very intelligent counter/answers. Why are you girls behaving like Akua Donkor? Why go to the show in the first place if you will behave like kids? Get some brains some of you girls out there. This show is older your so called celebrity status. When did girls like Yvone Okoro, Joyce Blessings... come in as so called local celebrities?
