CEO of Kumawood and Akoben Film Festival, Samuel Darko, popularly known as Samdackus, has revealed that he has so far earned nothing from organising the award scheme.<\/p>\n
According to the Kumawood Director, he is yet to make a profit from what he has been doing for some years now.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs at now, I always run at a loss since I started organizing\u00a0the Kumawood awards.\u201d<\/em> He told DJ Murphy on\u00a0Bohye FM\u2019s Entertainment Extra.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
He also lamented how some actions of some media outlets are not helping the growth of Kumawood Awards.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cWe have a big problem. Majority of the media do not support, they always criticize and try to pull people down. When nominations are out, they won\u2019t discuss it but are rather quick to talk about who deserved an award or does not deserve it after the awards.<\/em><\/h3>\n
\u201cIt will be fair for them to talk about the nominations because every nominee is a potential winner. It pains me a lot when I hear about such things,\u201d<\/em> he bemoaned.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Expressing his view on the recent Anas Aremeyaw Anas\u2019 investigations that exposed some officials of the Ghana Football Association, Samdackus posited:<\/p>\n
\u201cI got to understand why Countryman Songo always hit hard on him [Kwesi Nyantakyi]. He should have resigned after our last World Cup. It will help to clamp down on corruption in the country.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Asked if Anas should start an investigation into the Movie Industry, he answered that it will be a waste of time because a lot of money does not pass through that sector.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
