  "account": "Jeffrey Nortey, a Ghanaian actor and entertainer, performed a clever bar at his sold-out show during the third phase of '3 Faces of Jeffrey Nortey'. The line, inspired by Nollywood legend Kanayo O. Kanayo, cleverly combined Akan wordplay with a reference to Kanayo's well-known character, \"Dragon\". The bar drew attention on social media and eventually led to a meet-up between the two entertainers. After the performance, Kanayo O. Kanayo shared a recording of Jeffrey's performance on Instagram, acknowledging the Akan interpretation of the phrase and reigniting the wordplay. Jeffrey later shared a video of himself meeting Kanayo O. Kanayo during the veteran actor's recent visit to Ghana, further solidifying their connection beyond the virtual world.",
  "summary": "During the third phase of this year’s edition of ‘3 Faces of Jeffrey Nortey’, the Ghanaian actor and entertainer used his popular ‘Dragon’ character to deliver a bar inspired by Kanayo O. Kanayo and the familiar phrase, “Sacrifices must be made.”",
