Research Is Needed To Measure Gains Of State Leaders As Against Their Promises On Creative Arts Industry In Ghana –Lecturer Propounds
Benjamin Oduro Arhin Jnr popularly known as Bnoskka, has asserted that it is about time a research is carried out in Ghana to assess the promises given by individual presidential aspirants and political parties flag bearers.
This research call is necessary because there has been too many promises said with hope of bettering the creative arts industry in Ghana, and it is obvious that an impact analysis is needed at this time of the year where a presidential election is coming on in 7th December 2024, so that an evidence based analysis can be presented to see what promises have been made in the past and how many were achieved right from the first republic to the current fourth republic multiparty democracy state of Ghana.
Bnoskka barred this in a discussion on Asempa 94.7FM with Obidombie Adu Kumi when asked about his comments on the promise Vice President Dr Bawumia made during his presentation at the UPSA Auditorium seeking mandate to be voted for as the next president of the NPP in the upcoming 2024 December 7, general elections in Ghana.
He further added that the research when done will be able to give fair review of achievements made from political promises when the sayer got power and also the government institutions’ contributions in the creative arts industry to promote stakeholders effort in creating jobs and generating income and growth for the creative economy of Ghana.
Bnoskka is a Creative Arts, Business and Intellectual Property Consultant and doubles as a lecturer at the Department of Music Education, School of Creative Arts, University of Education, Winneba.

Renowned singer and philanthropist, Shatana, recently shed light on the unsavory aspects of Ghana’s entertainment industry on Kingdom 107.7 FM’s Evening Vibes with Virgin Blogger.
In a candid and thought-provoking interview, Shatana exposed the harsh realities she faced as a newcomer to the industry.
Recalling her early days, Shatana revealed that a trusted friend introduced her to popular media personality, Delay, with the promise of mentorship and career advancement. However, their encounter left an indelible mark on Shatana’s perception of the industry.
“Delay told me point-blank that I was beautiful, and the best way to succeed was to use what I had to get what I wanted,” Shatana recounted, her voice laced with a mix of disappointment and resolve. “I was taken aback, as this wasn’t the vision I had for my journey.”
Shatana’s experience serves as a stark reminder of the industry’s objectification and exploitation. Her words resonate with many aspiring artists who face similar challenges.
With unwavering conviction, Shatana offered sage advice to emerging talents in the Showbiz Industry: “Hold on to your originality and never compromise your values. Only God Almighty blesses; don’t sacrifice your integrity for fleeting success.”
