Dear Chris-Vincent,
Is anyone getting tired and depressed about the fact that even though Ghanaian entertainers/celebrities have been receiving nominations for awards’ outside Ghana, they go and come back empty handed?
This is making me sad and yesterday’s D-black’s lost to Nigeria’s 2face and D’banj at the BET Awards nearly got me ill.
After last night’s awards, I asked a couple of friends who I watched the Awards show with a very simple question; Why don’t our Ghanaians win awards outside Ghana?
All the answers I got pointed towards one direction and as much as they seemed harsh, I fully agreed with them. Our Celebrities/Entertainers are the cause of their own inability to get the necessary support and votes to win awards.
In simple terms, all my friends said ‘Ghanaian celebrities or entertainers are stucked up and until they begin to respect their fans and the media, they will never win any award or show that demands some public vote’.
One of my friends said, “Cynthia, imagine how many people will vote for Nadia Buari if she is nominated for an International Award? Come to think about it, which media house will even help her get people to vote? If she is lucky, she may get 5 votes from her family”.
Our Ghanaian celebrities/entertainers have very poor touch and relationship with their fans and media, until these core structures which serve as a wheel to taking them up places and vote them into winning awards are addressed, they will happily go to award shows but come back with sad faces and empty hands.
This is 2 cents, you can add yours!
