She disclosed that during the singing marathon which took place in December 2023, she felt a power cut that lasted for 45 minutes would not help her break the record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, she was motivated to move on with her agenda because, apart from breaking the record, it was a move to sell Ghanaian music to the world. \u201cAt Akwaaba village there was a plant, but it was taken away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"ose-youtube ose-uid-29964742290e3dbf1737bf476170199d ose-embedpress-responsive\" style=\"width:400px; height:400px; max-height:400px; max-width:100%; display:inline-block;\" data-embed-type=\"Youtube\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allowFullScreen=\"true\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XninrDPJ1Tw?feature=oembed&color=red&rel=0&controls=1&start=&end=&fs=0&iv_load_policy=0&autoplay=0&mute=0&modestbranding=0&cc_load_policy=1&playsinline=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; encrypted-media;accelerometer;autoplay;clipboard-write;gyroscope;picture-in-picture clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen referrerpolicy=\"origin\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But we had someone who sponsored us with a generator. There was a day when the light went off and when they were switching, it caught fire. It was ECG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The lights went off and I will say that it was 10 minutes. Honestly, if you ask me I think GTA and my team will be the best people to answer because at that time, I wouldn\u2019t know the best period when it happened. Everything was off, the time, Dj, everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The light went off in between an hour period. You asked that at the point when the lights went off, I believed the attempt had failed, right? The motive of this attempt was not to give up. Let me establish a point, even when my voice went off I could have stopped,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAs human as I am, I felt it but there are two sides to it. When I even lost my voice\u2026It got to a point where my voice went off and I couldn\u2019t talk at all. With that, I did more than five five-minute breaks, that was the first one I encountered. However, what I know is that regardless of the challenge I finished the attempt. Even those who entered the box\u2026,\u201d She said when Halifax Ansah Addo asked if she knew the power cuts played a role in her not breaking the record. She continued \u201cI remember my health team, the psychologist kept asking me do you remember why you started this and so when he asks I tell him I remember.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"ose-youtube ose-uid-05b5f0635b628549717bf744b9859af8 ose-embedpress-responsive\" style=\"width:400px; height:400px; max-height:400px; max-width:100%; display:inline-block;\" data-embed-type=\"Youtube\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allowFullScreen=\"true\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iComYGJDhIE?feature=oembed&color=red&rel=0&controls=1&start=&end=&fs=0&iv_load_policy=0&autoplay=0&mute=0&modestbranding=0&cc_load_policy=1&playsinline=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; encrypted-media;accelerometer;autoplay;clipboard-write;gyroscope;picture-in-picture clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen referrerpolicy=\"origin\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Halifax, the main reason was to project Ghanaian music. Halifax, when we were done they asked for the videos because we even forgot to fastrack something to get a certificate. It wasn\u2019t only the technical error, even kids that came there weren\u2019t allowed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reacting to this, Franklin Cudjoe in a post on Facebook said \u201cAfua\u2019s failed attempt at breaking the GWR singathon was primarily caused by DUM(power outage) and the genset that could have backed up took up to 45 minutes to kick in because it was faulty. Well Afua Asantewaa Aduonum believes even though the incident affected her attempt, she didn\u2019t think the competition had to end because she needed to project Ghanaian music. Interesting discussion. Take a look as entertainment pundit Halifax grills Afua on your favourite United TV Showbiz programme.
