  In deed, celebrities are not Jesus that when nailed them on the cross they will look up and says "father forgive them for they know not what they do." They are just like every Ghanaians on earth and Ghanaians moral standard or moral behaviour is not set down for only celebrities but for us all just as the law is no respector of persons. Well, celebrities are mirror of the society and must have a good moral behaviour. They must project a good image in the mirror, that is the bottom line. Not wearing yellow dress for a number of time. The public especially the journalists must also refrain from deeds that will cause these celebrities to react negatively. Now, society is not demanding the celebrities to not board trotro or that sort of as the writer put it. But, it is an disadvantage on their part should they be seen regularly in trotro or like manner, since such look or appearances will devalue them. Some times, out of hatred for no reasons, Ghanaians or some unprofessional journalists embark on character assassination of these celebrities just to see their down fall. That too must stop. Please leave our celebrities alone. God Bless Ghana.

  We need a progressive policy. All adverts in Ghana must be created by wholly owned Ghanaian businesses and the songs and celebrities in the adverts must be wholly Ghanaian. The celebrities and musicians must receive royalties. All the wholly owned Ghanaian entities must use wholly owned Ghanaian banks like ADB.
  
  We must move into the era of music/movies as a service (MAAS). At least 7 out of every 10 songs, movies and TV series played on our television stations, radio stations and entertainment centres must be wholly Ghanaian and must be produced in Ghana. These stations and entertainment centres must pay on a monthly or annual basis royalties to the Ghanaian artists. The amounts paid must be reasonable taking into consideration the profits of the entertainment establishments. However they must not pay any money whatsoever to the foreign artists because of the negative effect it would have on our GDP. The Ghanaian artists must use wholly owned Ghanaian banks like ADB. Many people can recall great shows like: Kukurantumi-road to Accra, Ultimate paradise, By the fireside, I told you so, things we do for love, Akan drama with osofo dadzie, obra and co, home sweet home, TV theatre, Dr Paa Bobo´s songs etc
  
  There is lack of will and this must change.
