According to the young lady, it was a dream come true when she had the chance to audition for the news anchor role at GHOne but her chances of landing the role came to grinding halt when Nana Aba, who happens to be one of the panellists at the second stage of the audition humiliated her, making her shed uncontrollable tears and eventually giving up on her dream.
Zeinatu who felt her dream had been crushed by the ace news editor, took to her Facebook timeline detailing her ordeal and how Ghanaian actress and ‘slay queen’ Victoria Lebene landed the role at her expense.

A month ago or so, Gh One called for an audition. I went through the first stage and barely made it to the second stage which was an interview. Nana Aba Anamoah was on the panel and she made me feel worthless to the extent that I cried right in front of her. I’m not even worried about that part. A question was asked and in answering, I made reference to the fact that I was a host on Ameyaw TV. This is what Nana had to say about that:
Nana: Rumor? You work for someone who gossips about people for a living? How do you expect me to employ someone who does rumor to come and host a serious news show?

Fast forward, I just chanced this video of Victoria Lebene with a special report on GhOne TV. A little background on Victoria: She’s an actress, and what people call “slay queen” on Instagram.
Yet here she is on a “serious news show” with a “serious special report”. Not to add that Serwaa Amihere of the same GhOne, used to do entertainment news with Berla Mundi on “Glitterati”. But today, you Nana, feel these two ladies deserve the chance to be on your “serious news” show and I don’t because I host an entertainment news show on @AmeyawTV. Double Standards!!!

After this said interview, I felt worthless and incapable. Her remarks made me doubt myself so much I got depressed for sometime. I felt that way because all my life, doing straight news/serious news was always what I wanted to do. Even my colleagues at AmeyawTv have told me a couple of times my presentation sounds more “serious”. So after her comments it got me thinking and I felt my dream will never come through.
I almost lost interest in AmeyawTv along the way because I felt working there may spoil my chances of ever anchoring “serious news”.

This video today, however, makes me believe that maybe she just wasn’t interested in a “nobody” like myself. Maybe you weren’t feeling my vibe Nana, all you could have done is to tell me that and not belittle someone’s creativity (Ameyaw Debrah).
Sad thing is, these same people go on seminars and talk shows and preach “nurturing talents” and “giving the young ones a chance”.
Not to mention you were one of the few journalists I looked up to.
