Why Do These Award Organizers Fail To Inform Ghanaian Celebrities About Their Nominations?

blank
I am not going to go into how I feel about the countless Awards being organized to reward mediocrity and make the pockets of certain individuals full.
But I am still trying to figure out why these organizers outside ( and I am also referring to organizers in Ghana as well) choose to rubbish our Ghanaian entertainers all the time by failing to inform them of their nominations. And why do our Ghanaian celebrities also allow themselves be treated like this?
Forgive me for my language but that is exactly how I feel whenever I hear that another Ghanaian actor or actress was not informed about one award or another, let alone been given the opportunity to grace their so called star-studded events.
Maybe some of these celebrities need these accolades badly and would rather shut their mouths and let this sort of thing go on. Why can’t these African awarding bodies learn from their international counterparts and afford these celebrities some respect by informing them about their nominations?
At least that would even afford the celebrities the courtesy to make the decision to grace the award ceremony or not. If I were an actor, thank God I am not I will tell  it in their faces to shove their awards in the rears.(Bleep!). Okay, rewind maybe not in that rude way because I know some journalists would certainly have a field day with that one.LOL!
See, I always say that actors and actresses do not owe it to any of these organizers and awarding bodies. If you are good, you are good and it will show in your works or performances.

A Plus

With three months to the December polls, the song every Ghanaian is singing right now is the peace song. Ghanaians have started calling on individuals and political parties for tolerance and decorum ahead of the December 7th general elections.
There has been tension in the country since the start of the country’s first biometric registration few months back. As the biometric register was being compiled, several individuals brought out their selfish attitude in public as they tried to cause mayhem and mar the beauty and general peaceful process of the biometric registration.
Others stopped potential voters from registering at particular polling stations – claiming such individuals were not qualified to register at such polling stations.
Looking at what happened just during the compilation of the biometric register, the worst can happen during the voting process if action is not taken to prevent it from escalating.
Joining well meaning Ghanaians calling for peace before, during and after the elections is controversial musician, A-Plus who has spent all his life doing music to admonish politicians to do the right things in the society.
Real name, Kwame Asare Obeng, A-Plus since the beginning of this year has made it known to Ghanaians that, he’s ready to dedicate his time and resources to champion and campaign for peaceful elections.
He mentioned that, the project is going to be a nationwide tour which will last for a whole month, commencing on from the 6th of November and end on the day before the general elections, 6th of December.
His company, Konsule Entertainment is working in close partnership with an event company he is still in talks with for this project.
