The outspoken Bull Dog told NEWS-ONE that in the current state of high taxes and tariff hikes, there will be a lot of chaos if musicians, singers and all who make up the entertainment stream decide to lay down their tools.
He added that “in these trying times where prices of everything seems to be going up and everybody feels that pinch that there is something wrong with this economy, the only thing you can fall back on is music and film and that is why I hold that Ghanaian entertainers should respect and honour themselves.”
“Entertainers in Ghana should be proud of themselves at this point in time because in the absence of some of the things they do like singing and acting, there will be chaos and the leaders of this land will not have it easy.
When you look out there, entertainers are still entertaining Ghanaians.
They are not saying they are striking like the doctors or teachers did,” Bull stated.
According him, the only section of society still struggling to put smiles on the faces of Ghanaians despite the economic hardship is the entertainment industry.
People listen to music and dance away their problems or watch movies and laugh away their hardship.
“Film makers are still struggling to put smiles on and laughter on people’s faces and they are keeping the country sane. In the absence of some of these things, I don’t think Ghana will be a better place for us,” he said.
It could be recalled that actress Yvonne Nelson took to her twitter page some time ago to complain about the current economic hardship to the President of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama.
Others like movie producer Socrates Sarfo and actor Prince David Osei have also subsequently spoken on the same issue.
