MTN’s clear disinterest in addressing the loopholes within its mobile money system - Yaw NTim Afriyie speaks Out

MTN’s clear disinterest in addressing the loopholes within its mobile money system - Yaw Ntim Afriyie speaks Out  Yaw Ntim Afrifa, a Brand Strategist and lead of Euphrate Agency and Oxcode.io on his Facebook page speak on MTN  MobileMoney Limited (MoMo), the operating service, which has refuted allegations of a system breach of a viral social media complaint from a customer who claimed GH¢11,000 was withdrawn from her mobile wallet without her consent. Sometime back, when the Government of Ghana was pressing MTN Ghana in an attempt to minimize its enormous market share, I didn’t understand. My position was: why would you make a business suffer for its product and marketing brilliance? I guess now I do understand. MTN’s clear disinterest in addressing the loopholes within its mobile money system stems from one primary fact — it doesn’t hurt their numbers. MTN controls some crazy market elasticity, where even in the face of a full-blown scandal, the company still retains a massi...

Joseph Kwame Addison, popularly known as KillBeatz, the Man to be celebrated

Joseph Kwame Addison, popularly known as KillBeatz, is a Ghanaian music producer and sound engineer. He is a member of music group R2bees and is also the CEO of Legacy Life Entertainment, which has signed the Ghanaian musician King Promise KillBeatz started playing instruments for his church before he ventured into secular music.

He was helped by Ghanaian music producer Kaywa at the early stage of his career. He reported to the manager of the studio and insisted he could produce his own beat as he could already play the keyboard, and all he needed was help with the setup , as he had no prior knowledge in using DAWs at the time.  The manager’s reaction after he produced …”You are better than the producer , You need to come and work ! ” , so KillBeatz started working and eventually all customers preferred him over the previous producer.

We Must RESET Our Music Industry

We Must RESET Our Music Industry  C.E.O of Speech Production Mr. Enock Agyepong writes Music is more addictive than any drug. The more you ignore it, the more it follows you just like your shadow. Simply put, people will never stop loving music, and as a result, there will always be individuals willing to invest in it. However, many who have invested in music over the years have seen no returns because the industry lacks proper structures and security for investors. Many have been bruised and have no intention of ever returning to this industry. Some have been defamed and disrespected by the very brands they supported. Others have abandoned music entirely and some have resorted to dog farming whiles others are selling phones. Yet, instead of fixing the mess, we seem more interested in exploiting the “broken system." In football, managers cannot simply steal players from another team without facing severe consequences. When a foreign club buys a local player, his former team someti...
