KSM Exposes Ghana Film Industry Distribution Nightmare
KSM thinks Ghana movies face harder roads than Nigerian films do. The actor says Ghana lacks good ways to sell movies compared to Nigeria. Nigerian filmmakers benefit from systems built over many years. Ghana creators spend their money to make films but struggle later to find people who will buy them. They pay actors and crews without knowing if they can earn that money back. Most Ghanaian movies were once sold as CDs by people on the streets. Filmmakers needed to hold street parades with trucks and dancers to sell these discs. This method costs extra cash after already paying for the entire movie production. KSM calls this selling approach wasteful and impossible to continue. Nigerian movie people found better paths to reach their...

Gospel singer Joe Mettle shared his thoughts about church workers earning money during a TV3 talk. He serves for free at his regular church because he makes money from other music work. His band members travel with him when he sings at different churches across Ghana. These outside churches pay him for his team's travel costs instead of personal gain. His church members accept when he misses Sunday service to perform elsewhere. Many church helpers wonder if they deserve cash for their time. Mettle believes both free service and paid work have their place in church life. He thinks about practical needs when deciding which singing jobs need payment. Money matters become important when moving musicians and equipment between towns. The...
King Paluta Hung Out to Dry by TGMA Power Plays
MC Portfolio claims politics kept King Paluta from winning the top music prize. He told viewers on Oyerepa TV that the rapper lost because he supports the NPP.

The music expert added that living in Kumasi hurts King Paluta with the Accra judges. Most music business happens in...
Sheldon Blasts Sam George Over Data Ripoff
Content maker Kwadwo Sheldon says Communications Minister Sam George fails to fix high internet prices. He points out how George spoke loudly against these costs when he served outside government. Back in 2019, George blamed the former leaders for keeping data rates expensive. Since taking office in early 2025, George has remained mostly silent about this problem. Sheldon finds this change strange. George announced he plans to create a team that will investigate why data costs remain high. He promised Ghanaians would see changes before December and mentioned meetings with phone company leaders. But Sheldon thinks these steps have not helped anyone. Regular people keep paying more for spotty internet service. Many users share their...
