  In April 2023 Mark Okraku-Mantey told the Creative sector on Live Television that the monies for the Five(5) AMPHITHEATERS have been paid into our accounts by the world bank and that by July 2023 the Kumasi one will be completed. According to his calculation the amount for the 5 theatres should be around 3 million dollars. He stated emphatically that they'll finish all Five(5) amphitheaters by the end of 2023. Fact is he spoke in English so most of our entertainment Journalist understood him clearly. Today in 2025 not even one(1) of the said amphitheaters have been completed and so the question is WHERE IS THE WORLD BANK MONIES? Or he just Lied on TV? This and many other questions are what we're expecting our Journalists to ask him on behalf of the industry yet some big platforms like Joy Fm and Peace Fm Entertainment Review seems to be rather doing Character Laundering in order to rebrand and sell him back to the industry. Questions like how did they get monies for their Spa...

  Presidential Advisor on Diaspora Affairs, Kofi Okyere Darko, popularly known as KOD, has called on political appointees to prioritize service over status, urging them to remain grounded and respectful to the citizens who empower their positions. In a conversation on Rainbow Radio 92.4FM in the United Kingdom, KOD cautioned against the attitude of superiority some appointees assume once given the opportunity to serve. Without naming names directly at first, he pointed to the tendency of certain officials to see their appointments as an elevation above the very people they were called to serve. “We are here to serve,” he stated. “My office is simply where I’ve been placed to perform that duty.” He used the example of former Deputy Minister of Creative Arts, Mark Okraku Mantey, to highlight what he sees as a misplaced sense of importance among some former appointees. “Mark Okraku Mantey was asked to serve, but he saw himself as a lord,” KOD said. “When you’re appointed, you should n...

The Gospel music genre plays an integral role in our industry and therefore in our annual Music Awards ie TGMA which has in effect produced some great Artists of the year including Joe Mettle and Diana Hamilton. Strangely their participation in recent times have been on the decline and one wonders what the problems may be. Last year Team eternity were billed to perform but never showed up and their excuse was nothing to write home about. This year was worse when indeed they never showed up to pick any of their 3 awards on the night, I mean a group of over 10 musicians and not even one person showing up to pick an award is obviously not normal. Joe Mettle who was also in the auditorium never climbed the stage to pick any of his 2 awards on the night. I mean Joe had one of the best Gospel songs last year and it would have been great to see him on stage as an inspiration to the next Generation.           Can we assume that they're beginning to see the awards more l...
