EVENTS, AUDIENCE & MANAGERS

EVENTS, AUDIENCE & MANAGERS

Recently, i was at the Old School's Reunion, and i was very shocked, as to why the main even sponsor, aka. Joy FM, closed at exactly 9:00pm, wow, while young peeps there, were even enjoying the atmosphere already, and upon all, the other people who were not even organisers, themselves, just a bunch of sponsors, and private companies, rather, entertained the crowd, who had no option..

But seriously, i wanna know, WHAT MAKES AN EVENT?

is it the Sponsors, the Event Managers, or the Audience.

We all know, it's the Audience, because even if the Sponsors are from Heaven, and the Event Managers, are like Angels, but the Audience don't love the show, and therefore call is boring, then, i guess, there is no point calling it an EVENT.

People go for an Event, and expect to be entertained, no-matter what, whether there was no MC, no Music, or No Electricity, the organisers can still make it. Even, FunnyFace alone, organised an event at the Children's Park, and I was shocked to hear that, CHILDREN, of all people, filled the park and even the surrounding..wow..it really amazed me the more, when I saw the lovely atmosphere at MR&MRS SHS, held @the National Theater, wow, I call this real time audience, infact, the Outside was choked and more fun & exciting than the inside, which was also Entertaining every minute, despite the low quality in management skills.

Funny to know that, only in Ghana, you see More Ladies than Men, at Expensive events, where tickets are sold for over $50, but Shows & Events where there are no price tags, you never see plenty Girls, humm, 3ye as3m ooohh,

What even bored me the most, is the absence of TV Camera’s at that Event.

WHY? Is it because it’s an Event for JSS & SSS People, huh, are they also not Humans like us, don’t they watch Tv the most, even kraa mpoo, they made 4Syte Tv & YFM, the most porpular and Entertaining Stations ever…

We sit in our Media Offices,  cross our legs, Facebook and browse the Whiteman’s webpages, but complain a lot “eii, humm, we can’t do this in Ghana ooohh, there are no footages like this anywhere here”

Meanwhile we have forgotten about Disney Tv, Cartoon Network, Bloomberg, Nikledeon, and the other channels on DSTV that features lots of Stuff for Young People, but it feels like a Crime in this country, when a TV Station, tries to invest in Young People, especially when it’s for those in Senior High Schools.

This indeed is a very sad perspective, in which programs like “Fun World, By the Fire Side, Kwasasa, humm, and maybe very soon NATIONAL SCEINCE AND MATHS QUIZE, another funny thing kraa, is the Prizes awarded on these various shows. Abaaaa, how should a Student try soo hard, and reach all these difficult levels of strugel, and at the end, just win a Price worth $200 or maximum on $500, even when it’s 5m (old currency), have we forgotten, that alone can’t pay his school fees including Text Books..???...huh, please don’t mention scholarships, I don’t even wanna hear it, The hustle they go through, before securing it, huh, it feels like a CURSE, than a BLESSING.

Have we forgetten, that it’s this same group of Young People who stormed the Auditorum of the 4Syte Music Video Awards, even though the show wasn’t ready yet, they were ready, and willing to sit on the bare floor, just to enjoy the Event Organisers parking the equipments, and fixing the Stage, while they wait….wow, wow…this news alone makes every Event Organiser soo Proud and wanna go the Extra Mile,

And as to why 4Syte’s One Year Anniversary Pool Party Bash,  was the Biggest Pool Party ever held in this Country.

Soo, why should we think that everything meant for Teenagers, is not venerable, huh. That outside Crowd, that was soo Fun, Exciting, Full of Adventure, and Wild Action, outside the National Theater (on Mr&Mrs SSS) and Trade-Fair (at Old School Re-Union), was a better spot for TV Camera to make some good Documentary, take better shoots, interview Students, talk to them,..

Do we always have to wait for some Music Awards Event or Beauty Pagent, before we fight eachother for Camera Space, huh,

Have we not had over Ten Television Channels today, including the onces on Digital Boxes, like Multi-Tv, Sky Tv, and Smart Tv, huh, and also there are over 20 different Tv Programs, on every Channel..

SOO WHAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH  OUR TELEVISION MEDIA IN THIS COUNTRY, WHEN IT COMES TO PROVIDING FOOTAGES FOR YOUNG PEOPLE

We forget that, our Children will also be in that stage one day, and we will have to buy them DSTV, soo they can watch Disney TV and other Channels.

Hummm, thank God, I just saw Youth Tv, right here on GTV, just this Sunday Morning, wow, and it’s nice…

Anyway, what happened to Taxi Driver, Things We Do For Love, Music 4 You, Key Soap Concert Party, It Takes Two, Agoroo, Hitz Video, and my very Favorite Presenters Guide, (that great show which was sponsored by OneTouch  ended with no comeback at all)

well maybe these Event Producers wanna tell us that, when a Major Sponsor leaves the Production, then finally that Show/Event should endup totally, blindly forgetting the Cherished Viewers who Love the Show. Humm, maybe we don’t know that a common Chewing Gum, company sponsored this years MTV Video Music Awards, and we think Alomo Bitters can’t even sponsor an Award Show in this country huh, do we know how much money Condom companies make, in a Week..???...or even Neat Fufu, eii, chaley, don’t go there, the smallest things we don’t respect actually have more cash, the only problem we have is the manner in which we convise the Owners of these Companies,

Please we don’t always need to wait for a Telecom Company to sponsor and control our Shows, before we call it “A HUGE EVENT”,  that’s why Audience will come and the whole front seats will be very doll, because that Telecom company will make you colour your chairs, Yellow, Yellow, or Red, Red…the whole stage should be Yellow, the Atmospehere, Lights, and Screens, Presenters Clothing, and even his/her shoes should be painted Yellow…wow…what kind of village advertising is this, are we blind enough to be instructed with colours, before we know who sponsored this or that show, but interestingly Did we not pay for that show, huh, haven’t we been charged and promised Great Entertainment, huh,

Do you know how many Companies Sponsor bigger shows like the Academy Awards, BillBoard Awards, Grammy Awards, or even the Miss World Beauty Pagent, and WOLRD GOSPEL AWARDS, soo why should your Uncle tell you want to wear and which Girl to date, only because He pays your school fees alone..???..huh, maybe he has forgotten that, he also can’t control you in times of Entertainment during school hours, and Inter-Schools Sports festivals, hehehe…

Such a Funny World, soo funny indeed we live in, I think the Old Schools Re-Union program is not respected by JoyFM, that’s why they keep proponing the event, and also feels like they need more hands, all they do is to feel proud, “Yes, yes, ebi we wey dey Organise the Old Schools thing oooh”,

And thats’ all leave it out to Small Private Groups to do the finished work…infact SHAME ON THEM, next time let them give it to Y-FM, 4Syte Tv and Okey FM, Adom FM, then will shall be happy they made a great show, afterall, they still remain the GodFathers of the Event, No-Doubt.

I even heard, JoyFM is a sister media station to Multi-Tv, soo why, what happened,  didn’t see any Tv Camera’s there that night, is this greed or what.

Let’s all, as Ghanaians Love and Cherish Our Events, because they are all we have, and can make more from them, it’s never a Crime to ask for Help from other Media Stations, I believe this even makes it better for us.

The whiteman does the same thing, soo what’s preventing us from doing that also…if someone won’t help, others are ready, don’t forget, it’s not only in Accra, others outside this Capital are willing to help…

Thank You all…
