Ghanaian Movie Industry, A Real Business Or Some Child Play? Do You Know Star Actors-Jackie Appiah and Adjetey Anang Were Spotted Changing Costumes In A Car Park?

Over the years, we have written several articles taken a shot at the flight route of the Ghana Movie Industry, mostly considering the profitability of the whole business venture.

You do not have to be told amount the many low quality and thoughtless story line movies that have sustained the Ghanaian Movie Industry up to today. The question is; how long can this go on for now that African movie enthusiasts are being bombarded with great movies from other parts of the continent?

The end product of any enterprise depends on the input vessel and energy. The poor way movie makers conduct their businesses in Ghana shows clearly in the substandard movies we find in our markets.

Several reports have in the past indicted Ghanaian film-makers for the poor treatment they give to our actors and actresses on set-what they eat, drink, where they sleep and the costumes provided to them.

When you hear household names like Jackie Appiah, Adjetey Anang, Yvonne Nelson,  Nadia Buari and others, you will reasonably assume that, these people are at least made to feel comfortable on movie sets.

However, a recent report has revealed that our actors do struggle to have basic things such as changing rooms when on set.

On a recent Venus Films set at the A&C Shopping Mall at East Legon, Jackie Appiah and Adjetey Annan were caught using the public car park as their changing rooms.

WHAT A LOAD OF NONSENSE: Ghana Has Best Electricity Access In Africa

A Ghana supporter arrives at Gold Coast bar-restaurant in Brixton, south London.

This is the sort of ‘nonsense’ dust Ghanaian politrickians and those in charge of affairs continue to throw into our eyes. Ghanaians are crying each day; small and big businesses have been compelled to shut down because there is no consistent supply of electricity.

And instead of those in charge getting things fixed for the general good of the people, they jump to compare the bad situation to how worse it is somewhere…

REALLY?

It is like you saying, I am a thief but there are worse thieves out there…WTH! Chris-Vincent wrote an article about this and here it is in play…

 PeaceFm Reports;

Even though Ghanaians are undergoing power crisis, which has resulted in massive load shedding and power disruptions, Ghana’s energy sector runs high as compared to other African countries in the sub-Saharan belt in terms of electricity access and utilization, says Mr. Kwaku Awotwe, Chief Executive of Volta River Authority (VRA).

According to him, in spite of the challenges, Ghana’s access to electricity remains one of the highest in Sub-Saharan Africa, adding “access to electricity is currently 74 percent. On average, access to electricity in Ghana is about 60 percent. This compares with Nigeria and Kenya’s average of 30 percent.”

Speaking in an interview with The Al-Hajj, Mr. Awotwe noted that, despite the country going through some difficulties in the energy sector, which he promised will soon be a thing of the past, “Ghana is by far ahead of its neighbors on the African continent in the areas of electricity access and utilization.”

“Believe it or not, on infrastructure, Ghana is twice as good as in most other African countries. So when you compare to a lot of African countries you may or may not be surprised that the 1020 megawatt (MW) investment in the Akosombo dam that was made in Ghana 50 years ago has set the foundation for a much more developed infrastructure which rates Ghana high in relation to other African countries,” Mr. Awotwe stated.

He added that within sub-Saharan Africa, Ghana is second to South Africa in terms of access to electricity.

Citing Nigeria as an example, he stated, Nigeria’s access to electricity is actually lower than Ghana’s, and their consumption per person per year is also lower than Ghana’s, noting, in terms of consumption of electricity and access to electricity, Ghana is actually a leader in sub-Saharan Africa.

“In Ghana, we complain when we pay 11 pesewas (8 US cents) per unit of electricity. Our northern neighbors pay 25 US cents and in the case of Liberia they pay 45 US cents and they would love to get some of Ghana’s power. So if we can get the gas and get the power generated in Ghana and can get transmission lines built across West Africa, that power will not just provide electricity for Ghana but it will provide electricity for the whole sub-region and as far as the transmission line can go,” he added.
