Readers’ Mail: The Reasons Why Ghanaian Entertainers Do Not Win Any International Awards Even If Nominated…Makes Me Sad As A Ghanaian!

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”.

D-Black & Kwaku T Drag Vodafone Ghana To Court Over Copyright Infringement!

05/11/2011 12:20 am

by GC Staff bG

It is extremely difficult to sue a company in Ghana and come out as a victor. No musician is known to have gone to court to sue a major company for copyright infringement. However, a bold step has been taken by D-Black and Kwaku T to sue Vodafone Ghana for illegal use of their song.

Whenever one buys a Compact Disc, some words which serve as a warning to copyright abusers are printed on the CD inlay and on the CD itself. If you ask me, those words are not printed there just for the fun of it; they are there to send a clear signal to people who are there to infringe on the copyright owners.

Words printed on the CD and inlay: “All rights of the producer and the owner of the recorded work reserved for unauthorized copying, public performing, broadcasting, hiring or rental of this recording is prohibited”.

As the words printed visibly on the CD, phone numbers, email contacts or website of the artistes or the record label is also printed just beside the warnings. So when a big telecom company like Vodafone refuses to do the right thing by contacting the copyright owners before using their product in their commercial advert; they are asking for one thing, to get sued for copyright infringement.
