Being a female musician/actress in ghana is tough..

Ghanaian female musicians

Just being a Ghanaian or living in Ghana is one of the toughest things we face each and every day.

For the average Ghanaian, almost everything is not as easy as it should have been for us. Just last week, our leaders (those in government) passed a law which states that, from August, there will be fees for TV License and failure to do that can lead you to jail. Yes you heard me right, jail.

This and many other ‘laws’ guiding our land which makes the country one hell of a nation for us.

Aside all these rules set by our leaders, the country is suffering from other infections including Dumsor, which has now affected every citizen down here. In a country where you enjoy 12 hours of electricity power and 24 to 36 hours of darkness, you must be thinking life down here is embarrassing. Really? Be a lady who dreams of entertaining the citizens and see how tough it is for you to live in Ghana.

Ghana, regardless of our economic crisis has been blessed with beautiful, sexy, talented and sweet ladies who have made it their aim to entertain us. The kind of fun our ladies bring to us can drive away the ordeal, stress and frustrations we face day in and day out.

However, taking a critical look at the rate at which some of these ladies find it difficult to make it in life due to their tag as entertainers, Ghana is indeed a tougher country for them. You dont think so?

Okay currently in Ghana, we have Tiffany, Eazzy, Efya Noella Wiyaala, Sista Afia, Rashelle Blue, MzVee, Kaakie, Eno, Irene Logan, Becca, MzBel and others elevating Ghana’s music industry.

For the movie world, we have Yvonne Nelson, Jackie Appiah, Juliet Ibrahim, Kisa Gbekle, Benedicta Gafah, Yvonne Okoro, Nana Ama McBrown, Vivian Jill, Jasmine Baroudi, Vicky Zugah, Rose Mensah, Kafui Danku and more.

Below are some of my observations as a blogger who has been in the industry for years.

No guy wants to dedicate his platform without seeing your ‘firewall’

This is a tradition every lady in the field of showbiz has to follow. Being a lady who wants to get into showbiz means you are ready to service those who want to service you. They say, hand go, hand come; i give you what you want, you pay me back by allowing me access to your firewall. Only some few guys were and would been able to dedicate their services to ladies without asking back for their firewall

If you are not a smart lady enough, you will be servicing the wrong people who will just brag and waste your time and not just that, tarnish your image after you open freely.

Most ladies have been able to conquer firewall temptations due to their smart moves and successful connects, others opened to get what they want and now they are there but there are still those who have opened and still opening but we dont know them yet.
