Last year, I made the editorial decision that GhanaCelebrities.Com will only cover the annual Ghana Music Awards and Ghana Movie Awards—the other awards and many pageants have proved to be a waste of time with no standing credibility.
Sending out a journalist or a reporter paid to cover these unworthy events are not worth our time, or our readers digestion and our money.
I thought I was going to regret this decision since I also added that we were not going to partner any of the many worthless award and pageant schemes but it seems I was more than right in my decision.
Once again, many have called to say; the 2015 4syte Music Video Awards was a waste of their money and time—and they say, Joselyn Dumas and John Dumelo helped to cripple the event as hosts.
The thing is, we are a nation of award ‘cherishers’ so the moment Ghanaians hear of ‘awards’, even if these awards have no credibility—everyone jumps at it.
Event organisers continue to take the piss, because all they have to do is to hand out 100 GHS to some journalists and bloggers and these writers will cloth the truth in lies—saying it was great when it was awful.
Will we grow pass this? No, as long as the journalist/blogger remains hungry and the event organiser remains desperate. And as long as our so called celebrities remain cheap, looking for an event to attend—so they can showcase their latest real or fake ‘wardrobe.’
It has always been the same for most of these awards and pageants in Ghana but each year, people turn up to consume the terrible experience they serve. And then come back to repeat the same song to us.
What’s wrong with us?
