In a remarkable blend of art and reality, Nana Gyasi Owusu—widely known for his role in the popular television series Kejetia vs Makola—has officially been called to the Ghana Bar.
The actor, who portrayed one of the educated lawyers from Makola in the hit courtroom drama, has now transitioned from fiction to fact, earning his place among Ghana’s newest legal practitioners. His enrollment took place on Friday, March 27, 2026, where he joined 154 other newly qualified lawyers in a prestigious call to the Bar ceremony.
Kejetia vs Makola, a widely celebrated Ghanaian TV show, humorously contrasts two sets of legal representatives: the polished, formally trained lawyers from Makola and the self-styled, often comedic “lawyers” from Kejetia. Nana Gyasi Owusu’s character stood out as one of the more refined figures, representing professionalism and legal discipline.
Beyond his on-screen performance, however, Owusu demonstrated a deeper commitment to the legal profession. While captivating audiences with his courtroom role, he simultaneously pursued real-life legal education, eventually completing his training at law school.
His journey from portraying a lawyer to becoming one has been widely praised as inspiring, particularly among young Ghanaians who view his story as proof that passion and determination can turn ambition into reality.
The March 2026 call to the Bar ceremony marks a significant milestone not only in his personal career but also in Ghana’s legal fraternity, as it welcomes a unique figure who has bridged the gap between entertainment and professional law.
For many fans, the line between fiction and reality has never been more thrillingly blurred.
