I hopefully expectGhanago through a safe and peaceful period in electing a new president. I hope to see Ghanaians have a cordial and peaceful relationship in all the regions. No more tribal, ethnic disputes and fights.
I also hope to seeGhanaachieve her goals in all developmental projects through a stable economy. I expect that theGhanamovie industry will grow higher in excellence and perfect execution of movies.
Personally, I expect a breakthrough in my television show ‘African Movie Review’ and other international contracts in my modelling career like with Chris Aire.
I also expect a cordial working relationship in the movie industry and beyond. I am also hoping to achieve my goal in contributing my quota through my project ‘Help Them To Read’ in donating educational tools to the kids in all the districts in Ghana thereby helping Ghana achieve her aim of boosting education in the country.
I’m hopeful to experience the best in everything I do this year. I am busting out.
Finally may the Grace of God continually be with us in accordance to our purpose and the will of God in our lives. God bless us all, God bless Ghana.
Eddie Nartey [Actor]:
2011 for the movie industry was a bit rough. Banning people here and there and so many misunderstandings. But in the end, I must say that, we were able to produce great movies such as ‘Adams Apple’, ‘Somewhere In Africa’ and ‘Ties That Bind’.
Even though the industry dulled up a bit towards the end of the year, I hope things will be great in 2012. I hope we will have more movie producers and investors in the industry. I hope in 2012, creativity will be at its peak with directors and scriptwriters.
I hope that we will produce things of our own and do more of originality. I hope the trend changes in relation to casting as many audiences complain of the same people over and over again. Greater height is what I wished for the industry in 2012.
Kobi Rana [Musician, Actor & Movie Director]:
2011 was promising. I pray for more investors and talents. Not just popular actors but NATURAL actors. Wider and better market and more amazing scripts.AfehyiaPa!

Motivational Message Of The Week: Formal Education Will Not Make You A Fortune…Yes It Will Not!

blank
As much as formal education is important in life and therefore has been entrenched in our quest for knowledge as human beings, it is the least ride that will take you the fortune land.
The above is probably the major reason why despite our desire for success and fortune, so many of us still remain chasers and will continue to be chasers instead of achievers.
It is difficult to break away from the norm but then, it is your distinctiveness and uniqueness which will fetch you success and not your commonness.
As human beings, we are somehow programmed to see formal education as the corner stone to achieving the success we desire and the fortune we so bad want in life.
The irony of this is that, even though when we give our surrounding a close look, we will find that majority of those riding the fortune wheel never got unto the wheel through formal education, we still endure this lousy belief.
It is not that difficult to understand why formal education hardly fetches life success or fortune. Attending the best educational institution with thousands of others, reading the same or similar books, being thought the same or similar things by the same or similar professors create nothing unique in you as an individual. This rather creates commonness…
It is sad to mention that majority of the people I know living on fortune land never got there by the great courtesy of the formal education they received. No, it is by something else, something that made them unique, something limited to them and not that which was taught to masses of people.
