The show was the climax of a month-long campaign by Airtel, through its Change Maker programme, to raise awareness and take action on breast cancer. The event was graced by hip-life music duo, Keche of Aluguntugui fame, actor, John Dumelo, Lexis Bill, host of Drive Time on Joy FM, and Giovani of YFM and ETV.

Other celebs, who graced the ocassion,  were co-host of Citi FM’s breakfast show,  Kojo Akoto Boateng, Dr So, Jacinta and Airtel Ghana’s brand ambassadors, Kalybos and Ahuofe Patri.
The celebrities would not be left out of a truly exciting night—John Dumelo hit the runway much to the admiration of the audience, Kalybos and his team performed a rib-cracking skit and Keche thriled all with some of their popular songs.
The Legal and Corporate Affairs Director of Airtel, Mrs Hannah Agbozo, expressed her excitement to have the celebrities join them at the event.
  “It means they care about this worthy cause as much as we do at Airtel. As the well- loved telecom brand, supporting projects that make the most impact in our communities is what we do.
 "We are making a change in the daily lives of many through our commitment to create   awareness and combat breast cancer. There's, however, still a lot to be done and we encourage many more people to join us for this truly worthy cause," Mrs Agbozo said.
Last year, Airtel Ghana supported the Sweden Ghana Medical Cancer Foundation and The Judith Ellen Awuah Darko Foundation with funds raised through employee donations.
This year, Airtel employees embarked on a social media campaign that urged all the company’s employees, as well as customers and Ghanaians in general to take keen interest in awareness creation and prevention of breast cancer in Ghana.

Gloria Safo: Our viewers' health should concern us




By Forgive Adjoa Forfoe
Award winning actress, Gloria Safo, has called on her colleagues in the acting field to make the health of their viewers their priority and support them in any way they can.
“I believe that we the actors and actresses should not wait to get so much money before we reach back to society. A lot of serious things are going on in places like this where mothers and children cannot pay their medical bills.  These are the final consumers of our movies. If they are not healthy, they cannot patronise our movies. So, I believe their health status should be of utmost concern to us so that once a while, with something small, at least, we can come and support them’’
 She was speaking to Graphic Showbiz after her managers,Edybentil Entertainment, who also double as the organisers of  the first edition of the Kids’ Choice Awards Ghana, donated some money to the Korle Bu Maternity Ward and Nicu Child Health Centre.
Just as they promised, Edybentil Entertainment made a cheque donation of an amount of one thousand Ghana Cedis as proceeds from the August show to the facility in line with the theme for the August celebration, “The Voice of the Child in reducing Maternal Mortality’’ as 2015 is the deadline of the United Nations’ Millennium Development Goals (MDG) of which reducing maternal mortality is a key goal.
The beneficiaries of the donation,two mothers and a boy, included five year old Danso Oti Mensah from the Oncology Ward who received six hundred Ghana Cedis to undergo surgery for cancer of the eye, Gertrude Armah from the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit two hundred Ghana cedis and Juliana Aduffo for Placenta  abruption received two hundred Ghana cedis.
CEO of Edybentil Entertainment and Gloria’s manager, Edward Bentil, told Showbiz “We realised from organising the Kids’ Choice Awards that, though the kids were our focus,there can’t be kids without mothers. So,we decided to to do something to help reduce maternal mortality. As the Kids’ Choice Awards has come to stay, we hope to continue supporting and making donations like this’’

Ghana Kids Choice Awards,organised in August 15 this year, attracted both children and parents nationwide to award and spend time with their dream celebrities at the event venue. Many stars and role models were also present to appreciate and show love to the children.On the event stage, the winners were announced amid thrilling performances and surprise appearances by various stars and role models. Added to the excitement was the historic ‘Rainbow carpet interview, photo opportunities and autographs for children with their role models.

By Forgive Adjoa Forfoe
AS the saying goes, All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, and for Sunny FM, playing time is giving their listeners free breakfast.Dubbed “Sunny FM Free Breakfast”, listeners were treated to a variety of food and beverages ranging from local to international dishes for breakfast free of charge on Friday October 30. They were also given free counseling for their various business ventures and introduced to a variety of new and healthy products on the market
In its second year, the event witnessed a huge turnout beyond the expected numbers that in order to taste everything on display, listeners were already cued as early as 7am in the premises of the radio station’s Kanda premises to be served their breakfast. More people were still trooping in for the event as at the 10am stipulated time of closing.
With just a coupon, a listener was treated to breakfast ranging from cereals, pastries, beverages, fruit juice, noodles, fried foods to Waakye. The alternatives to these were porridges, savouries and salad or yoghurt.
The business community was not left out as they came in their numbers not only to sponsor but were also there to eat and to display their wares. Nestle’ Ghana,CCML,Trafix Catering Service,JM Addo and Sons,Indomie,ECOSPA Mineral Water and Aquatork Natural Mineral Water were some of the sponsoring companies present.
Some of the presenters at Sunny FM spoke to Graphic Showbiz. Mrs Jennifer Jessica Danquah-Adjei(JJD) explained the rationale behind the event. “We read so many messages from our listeners. Some of them tell us how much we inspire them with our programmes. So we just thought, is there any way we could meet these people and say Thank you for listening?
“Our listeners are blessing us and we are blessing them in turn with events like this. We want to create that special bond with them because they are very loyal. So basically we organize this programme to create a physical interaction with our listeners and with our clients to also showcase their products’’
Ben Kwapong-Akuffo (Okyeame) stated that it was a time to fraternize with their listeners while they eat for free. A listener,Gloria,also told Showbiz that just as they promised, Sunny FM had really fed their listeners because there was so much  food for the listeners to eat or take home.
Some of the Sponsors, like Pastor Mercy Asiedu, representative of Petite Nectar  in Ghana stated that they had come to support the programme because they saw Sunny FM as a big platform to advertise their products because of their loyal listeners who could turn out to be loyal customers. “We came here to support because we think it’s an amazing idea Sunny FM is putting in practice here. It’s a big advantage to us being here because of the kind of customers they have’’

The FIPAG PRO was criticising the government-appointed outfit responsible for classifying films in this country.
“I support Ola because he is on point. I agree that we should promote pornography in Ghana. All that he is saying boils down to the inactive Classification Board that looks on unconcerned as a whole lot of movies on the Ghanaian market, including pornographic movies, get shown without classification’’ Safo, who is the Chief Executive Officer of Movie Africa Productions, told Showbiz last Tuesday.
He added that it was another example of the Classification Board not doing its work  that made him call for the arrest of investigative journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas.
“ I don’t have anything against Anas. I was talking about the inactive board we have. The law clearly states that all  cinematography works, whether  for investigations or not, must go through the Board but that is not being done.
 “The Board is so inactive that I think it should be independent. The government must put it  into private hands. If the Board is not living up to expectation, then we the movie producers will go and shoot porn movies,’’ Safo stated.
Another well-known movie producer, Ahmed Banda, popularly known as Bandex, however, disagreed with Safo.  He told Showbiz  that “those who think it is a money-making  venture can go on and shoot porn movies. As for me, I’m not ready to go in that direction. I will shoot a movie that I can watch with my family, a movie I can watch with my mother.
  Bandex said though Ola is the association’s PRO, members were not obliged to do what he says.
“I understand him saying that the Classification Board is not doing well for the movie industry but I won’t be part of what he is saying,’’ Bandex stated.
Award winning actor, John Dumelo also said he believed it was a criminal offence  to shoot and distribute  porn movies in Ghana.
“I’m sure there’s a law in this country that says it is wrong to produce and distribute porn movies here. So anyone who produces and distributes such material is actually breaking the law. I don’t think porn films should be produced in Ghana.  It’s unheard of. It’s just wrong,’’ the star of almost 150 movies said.
