I fear for the next generation of kids - Trigmatic laments

Ghanaian musician and songwriter Enoch Nana Yaw Oduro-Agyei, popularly known as Trigmatic, has shared his concerns about the loss of cultural identity among Ghanaians.

During an interview on Accra-based TV3 Showbiz 360, the singer highlighted that media houses in the country are neglecting the teaching of kids about their culture, instead focusing on foreign cultures.

Trigmatic expressed his worry for the future generation, foreseeing a time when children may struggle to speak their local dialects.

"The media in the country need to realise their impact. We are losing our language... our children are starting to sound more like Americans or British. Content creators and media houses are not doing enough to preserve our culture for our kids," he stated.

He also urged the youth to stand up against systemic oppression, emphasising the lack of accountability among politicians in the country.

"I believe the core issue in this country is accountability, with our leaders failing to take responsibility for their actions. Everything is politicised, and many people are afraid to speak out. The youth must not only take to the streets but also awaken mentally," he added.
