Veteran Broadcaster-Tommy Annan Forson Descends on Ghana DJ Award Organizers on Social Media

GHANA-DJ-AWARDS

 

One of Ghana’ Art writers posted on his facebook wall today, 27th Jan, 2014: “I hope ma fellow GH musicians watched da The GRAMMYs yesetrday and learnt a few tins.”

The writer actually sought to ask his colleagues if they watched the professionalism and precision with which the Grammy organizers hosted the event. In reaction, Veteran broadcaster, Tommy Annan Forson, came in with his reaction (unedited).

“Yes I watched part of it and realised that the winners take their plaques home but in Ghana its nothing but deception where you have to wait for two years or more, you might never get it and this where I say shame to charter house and mecury quaye, for olu Jacobs to say on tv 3 that he had not hot his after 2yrs is a big shame and as for me I am still waiting for mine from mecury quaye after a year plus.”

Early this year, Flex newspaper, reported of how disappointed Tommy Annan Forson is; regarding the failure of the organizers of Ghana DJ awards to give him his plaque after a long time.

Read some excerpts of the report below:

“Uncle Forson as we fondly call him, poured his emotions out, “I was honoured with the Life Time Achievement award but till date, the organizers have not given me my plaque!

“They promised I will get it after the event but as we speak, none of them have even called me to explain anything to me! This is a sign of gross disrespect! I am highly disappointed!”

In a separate interview with Mercury Quaye, CEO of Mercury Republic Events – organizers of the awards, he told Flex newspaper, “I am surprised you are asking me this! Honestly, I used to share the plaques myself but I left it to one of my team members to take over because I became very busy after the awards”.

“As far as I know, all the winners have received their plaques. What you are asking me is news to me! I can’t believe it! I shall recheck from the team and the right thing would be done. Uncle Tom does not deserve this at all!”

Ghana DJ Awards is an award scheme designed to promote hardworking Disc Jockeys and songs from Ghana to greater audience nationally and beyond the borders of Ghana. The maiden edition of the award was launched in 2012 at the luxurious African Regent Hotel in Accra. We hope Mercury and his team sends Uncle Tommy’s plaque to him before they organize this year’s award. Until then…MOTWUM!!
