Prince David Osei
Prince David Osei has stated in a recent interview with media that some Ghanaian actors had collected money from the government that he and his colleagues knew nothing about.
The actor stated;
The Ghana Actors Association is not working. For a specific like me if I talk, they will end up offensive me or if I call the likes of Yvonne and Van and the likes to join me they will say we should stop.
He stated that, what I noticed is that in Ghana whenever you want to explain yourself or say something that they turn it and call you a hater. I don’t know why because we move in a free civilization where you are free to express yourself, but over here it’s a different thing. Some of us just stop away from these things because we don’t want to be a like a thorn in some body’s surface.
It’s sad our society is not helping us, we have been saying this over and over again because in Nigeria, the actors association is so united to the side by side that they get moneys from the government, they have protection cover from government, they have funds you can right to use when you want to shoot a movie that is historic or project the image of Nigeria.
Over here our association is not effective. Away that, anytime you effort to do something different, they pull you down.
David was commenting on the issue of the young actor and actresses struggling for positions in the association. He stated that;
“If you agree to go for a character in there they will challenge you, even when they were doing the election we were not alert.
“We are not joint, so if you don’t belong to the group, there’s no way you will be called to join the train. A few people promoted by the government and that’s why when some of us are complaining they come to protect because they know what they have done and they know they have departed and taken money that we are not aware of. That is how come we find ourselves where we are now.”
