Actor Alex Usifo Calls Out Ghana’s Xenophobic Tendencies – Enock Agyepong Fires Back at CTV Host

-




A wave of debate has swept through social media after veteran Nigerian actor Alex Usifo criticized what he described as “primitive xenophobic behaviour” hindering the progress of Ghana’s movie industry.


Usifo, famed for his powerful roles in classic Nollywood productions, expressed disappointment over how some Ghanaians in the media treat Nigerian actors and collaborations. His remarks, made during a recent interview, have sparked strong reactions—especially from Ghanaian entertainment commentator Enock Agyepong, who publicly agreed with Usifo’s concerns.


In a passionate Facebook post, Agyepong argued that Ghana’s entertainment industry has long been affected by poor leadership and divisive attitudes. He singled out CTV Ghana and its presenter Kweku Annang, accusing them of promoting “xenophobic utterances” on national television.


 “Kweku Annang has made it his useless agenda to attack Nigerians,” Agyepong wrote. “He may not hold much influence here, but outsiders could easily take him as a representative of Ghana’s mindset—and that’s deeply unfortunate.”




Agyepong also referenced a previous protest Annang reportedly organized against Nigerians in Ghana, describing it as a “failed and senseless move.” He cautioned that such conduct tarnishes Ghana’s international image and harms opportunities for collaboration, which are vital to both the music and film industries.



 “Crime has no colour or nationality,” Agyepong emphasized. “If anyone—be it Ghanaian or Nigerian—commits an offence, deal with the person, not the entire nationality.”



He further called out regulatory bodies such as the National Communications Authority (NCA), National Media Commission (NMC), ARSOG, and Ghamro for failing to act while platforms like CTV “paint Ghanaians in an ugly light.”


The discussion has since reignited calls for unity, professionalism, and cross-border respect within the creative arts sector.


“That nonsense must stop now,” Agyepong declared, “before our already struggling industry becomes completely isolated.”

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...

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...
