Government Promoting Lotto & Betting INDISCRIMINATELY after banning Celebrities - FOCAP  In 2020, Gaming Commission banned  celebrities, including Shatta Wale and Wendy Shay, from endorsing Betting Companies. In 2022, the Creative Arts Advocacy Group FOCAP met with Gaming Commission, and their explanation was that as long as the Celebrities do not assure Gamblers of winnings, they can engage with the Betting companies.

Ghanaian Showbiz Industry Partly has its Gatekeepers in Nigeria - Asiwome Tei-Mati The Ghanaian showbiz industry has its gatekeepers in Nigeria. They control what happens and decisions that must be taken in the Ghanaian Showbiz sphere. Ghanaian are not in control. Whatever happening in the Nigerian Showbiz space is what the Ghanaian Showbiz industry wants to copy and without success From the days of George M. Britton 's advocacy for 80% of Ghanaian music to be played on our media space because Nigeria has gone 100% with their music which is making it difficult for Ghanaian music penetrating into the Nigerian market To Kelly Nii Lartey Mensa 's agenda for Ghana to own its new media space. As it stands, the Nigerians hold the Ghanaian algorithm breath. They decide when to allow the Ghanaian a breathing space in the new media space. Nauseating, isn't it?!?! Fast forward, Ghanaian are forced to now fill the O2 because the Burna Boys, Davidos, Wizkids, and the Asakes all of Nige...

Music is Independent. - By Enoch Agyapong (CEO of Speech Production)

Music is Independent -By Mr. Enock Agyapong It takes that single brain to activate the first melody & lyrics for composition in order to bring everyone together to get a record that ends up in an Independent ear to enjoy the masterpiece. When the Job is done the credit goes to every individual who contributed from the Manager to the Composer to the Arranger to the Programer to the Instrumentalist to the mixing and Mastering engineer to the Promoter to the DJ to the Graphic Designer to the Print and Digital media to the Manager to the indie or major Label to the Distributor to the Marketer to the Event Organiser and to the individual listener who become a Fan. For years individuals have tried to hijack industry simply because they feel the industry is small enough to be hijacked but the principle of music has never allowed that to happen. From the days of Ampadu and Amakye to the days of Kojo Antwi & Lumba to the Reggies & Hiplifers to the Big Bens & Agicoats to the Mr L...

The Head & Board of Bank of Ghana(BOG) Must Resign - FOCAP. FOCAP as an Advocacy and a Civil Society Group would like to add its voice to the numerous calls for the Board of BOG to resign. For a Country that came out of Covid broke according to the government leading to various measures to save the economy including the introduction of various taxes and also going to the IMF on our knees for a bailout, to have an institution like the Central Bank start a building which initial cost was 80million dollars and later increased to 120million dollars and now heading towards 250million dollars only shows how Reckless & irresponsible the Board of BOG have been. According to BOG, the building started around 2021 in the midst of Covid when the government was struggling for funds to even buy common vaccines. I mean, how irresponsible can one be? Today, this same BOG that's putting up a 250 million dollar headquarters has reported a loss of about 60billion Gh Cedis emanating from them ...

Let's Protect Religion in order to Protect Society.

Let's Protect Religion in order to Protect Society. The Moral Fabric of Society is one thing we need to sustain, especially when Man was actually born out of Sin and will naturally do more wrong than right. In this quest to make society a safe and better place to exist in, certain institutions like Chieftancy, Courts, Police Stations, Christianity, Islam, and other religions were introduced to maintain law and order. One thing that's difficult to deal with is morality since it has to do with the mindset, and our religious bodies play a major role in that aspect. Now, in the world of, for instance, dogs, there is nothing like Rape simply because a male dog can only mount a female dog that's on HEAT. Bring a female puppy to your matured male dog, and he will never mate her until she is old to experience her HEAT. Even if you have a stupid dog that tries to mount that little female puppy nature has made it impossible for it to happen but Leave Man alone and he'll surely sl...
