Just like some positions in our society like the Public Servants, Chiefs, the Clergy it’s assumed and advised that Journalists stay away from partisan politics. Journalist NEEDS to stay NEUTRAL since you can’t do partisan politics and still speak the TRUTH. Society depends on Journalists for TRUTH & FACTS so when majority of our journalists are seen to be openly partisan it makes the country very vulnerable. Just like our partisan Prophets who turns God into “a lair” by prophesying that the same God told two different prophets that two different presidential candidates will win one election, and that’s the same way you now see two different partisan journalists fighting each other over the TRUTH. We know man must eat but when man wants to eat with both hands and drink palm nut soup with a white shirt on in the open then you should expect nothing more than a soiled reputation. A respected journalist like Kweku Baaku vanished into oblivion after he started dining with the ruling part...

Ghana has never seen such an effective, attractive, far-reaching, and properly organised Creatives Campaign like the one rolled out by the NDC prior to the 2024 Presidential and Parliamentary Election. For a better understanding of my claim, let me begin from 1992 when Ghana's democracy was birthed; most creatives at the time did not get involve in political campaigns, the few who tried did that behind-the-scenes to conceal their political colours, however, the narrative began to change gradually each political season. Creatives became bold enough to show their faces on political platforms, composed campaign songs for political parties, and openly endorsed political parties and presidential candidates.  All these individual efforts empowered creatives who believed in the ideologies and Creative Art Manifestos of one political party or the other to come together as industry players to campaign for their preferred political parties.  The involvement of industry players in politi...

  A 13-year-old boy has filed a legal complaint against his parents in the UK, accusing them of abandoning him emotionally and physically by sending him to a  boarding school  in Africa against his will. The boy, whose identity is protected, contacted the  British Consulate  and a child welfare organization after his parents took him to Africa, enrolled him in school, and returned to the UK without him. According to his  lawyers  , the move was a “stark and brutal” act driven by parental concerns over his potential involvement in gang activity in London—claims the boy categorically denies. At a court hearing on Tuesday, November 26, the boy’s legal team, led by Deirdre Fottrell KC, argued that the boy is suffering emotionally and psychologically in his current environment.They described the food, tuition, and treatment at the school as inadequate. They claimed his relocation was done without warning or consultation and under the pretence of visiting a ...

Ex President Mahama at the Creative Connect in Kumasi described the Creative Industry as getting worse and Uncle Rex reiterated the same FACT over the weekend but according to the Deputy Minister Mark Okraku-Mantey said the industry is rather in a far better state and that Rex should provide statistics to buttress his claim. If you ask me I’ll say the industry is in a very very bad state and it’s nothing to write home about. Ghallywood went to sleep long ago and Kumawood that was keeping the film industry awake joined it a few years ago. Almost all the Actors are now struggling on YouTube to find their daily bread and the rest have turned into followers of politicians. All we see on our screens are foreign soap operas and I guess that’s what our Minister is proud of. The music industry is in a sad state with no investors and it’s left with the individual Artists struggling on their own with no assistance from even government. The CMO’s that use to give them royalties have been rendered...

 Sally Mann’s ‘Pull Shatta Down’ Confession Is a Disincentive to Potential Investors — Enock Agyapong on Ahotor Mmre Ghanaian award-winning entertainment critic Enock Agyepong recently voiced his concerns during an interview with host Obaapa Janee regarding Sally Mann’s troubling confession about trying to “pull down” Shatta Wale. Agyepong highlighted that such statements cast a negative light on the music industry and could dissuade potential investors from backing Ghanaian artists. He pointed out that the mindset of wanting to sabotage others is one of the most detrimental aspects of the music scene, as it fosters an environment of hostility rather than growth. Mr. Agyepong argued that when figures like Sally Mann acknowledge their intentions to undermine prominent artists like Shatta, it creates an atmosphere of mistrust, making the industry appear hostile to business. “Investors are unlikely to invest in a system where industry players gather to jeopardize the artists they’re i...

 “Only Evil People Will Meet to Plan the Downfall of a Brand” – Enock Agyepong Enock Agyepong, a prominent figure in the Ghanaian music scene, is known for his direct and passionate style of addressing issues and has made a strong statement regarding rumours of coordinated sabotage against brands. “Only evil people will meet to plan the downfall of a brand,” he stated emphatically, resonating with the listeners. To Agyapong, gathering to plot against a brand’s success is a dark and morally questionable path. He emphasized that the focus of the industry should be on fostering mutual growth, collaboration, and strengthening creative communities rather than engaging in negativity on ”Ahotor Mmre”, hosted by Obaapa Janee. This statement comes amidst rising concerns about some individuals in the entertainment sector potentially working against talents and brands.  THANK YOU  for constantly reading stories on KYAscriptoriumblogpost.
