Happenings In Gold Coast

Dr. Cann is a radio presenter with Global Media Alliance. A father of three boys, Dr. Cann told Christian Agyei Frimpong on Onua FM's entertainment talk show Anigye Mmre that despite observing that his children have an interest in his profession, he will not allow them to ply it full time. He was of the view that his children can be medical doctors or be in any profession but if they have love for radio, then it must be part-time and not full time because of his experience as a radio presenter. "The little I have seen in the media industry in Ghana is jealousy, backbiting and the 'Pull Him Down syndrome among us," he said. According to Dr Cann, "When God begins to bless a radio presenter, his own friends begin to [be] jealous [of] him, people want to see you crying, people want to see you down and I can tell you 'Juju' is at play in this our media". He further revealed that "It doesn't only depend on your colleagues at your workplace but even other friends working in other radio stations. They will see you as a threat [and] will work against you spiritually". Dr. Cann, who is currently the host of Happy FM's entertainment talk show, has worked with Sunrise FM in Koforidua, GBC Radio in Accra and Radio Winbay in Winneba. Source | Summary

Appearing on Rainbow Entertainment on Rainbow Radio 87.5Fm, he said some top musicians think they are untouchable and relevant because of their fan base. He said it would be prudent for musicians to understand that the industry is an eco-system and the industry does not end with them. He told host DJ Slash that musicians should learn to engage with organizers of awards schemes when they have a challenge instead of sitting on social media and attack the integrity and reputation of people. He suggested there is a need for respect and for people to be responsible in their utterances. On his part, a researcher at the scheme Andrew Nana Ofori said the scheme works on its own terms and should not be measured with other schemes. He advised musicians to work with the right professionals to push their career to the top. He said artiste management is a serious business and only persons with the needed skills should be employed to manage artiste. Source | Summary

The Fisheries Minister-designate faced the Appointments Committee on February 18, 2021 and was subjected to various questions by members regarding her new role. The Awutu Senya East MP became the 'talk of the town' after what was described as 'poor performance' as critics argued that she displayed absolute cluelessness about the sector she's going to head. Amidst several backlashes, she topped Twitter trends for two consecutive days. Joining in the conversation, actor and politician, John Dumelo who doubles as a farmer took to his wall to define what fish farming really is as a subtle jab to the nominee who was unable to give a proper definition of the term. He wrote: "Fish farming is breeding and rearing of fish artificially. It involves raising fish in tanks or enclosures or sometimes in cages in rivers or the sea. One main advantage: produces fish commercially. Disadvantage: it's expensive to set up,". "I have a reservoir, all I need is some tilapia, cassava fish and I'm in business,". "She should be asked about statistics, fish farmers problems and SOLUTIONS, give insights about types of fish we rear now and plans to expand etc not asked to give definitions like a Class 3 question in Agric,". There have been divided opinions following Hawa Koomson's appearance at the Appointment Committee. While some people think she should not be judged for not being eloquent because that does not make her unintelligent, others are of the view that the Committee should not approve her appointment.
