It is hard to have a meaningful conversation with Ghanaians – both educated and uneducated without the focus shifting to witches, ghosts, religion and the spiritual realm. Unfortunately despite the pour quality and contents of the movies they sell because religion, ghost, and witch stories are what consume Ghanaians.

Thank you for this great piece of article.
Unfortunately, most Ghanaians have crossed a threshold of point of no return, only a good education that can holistically turn around the young ones.

Those so called Kumasi movies are so disgusting and primitive. We must thank the writer for a well analyse and calculated piece of on this African canker. A centenarian in the dev. world is hailed and held in high esteem and adored. But in African you become a witch for living that long and humiliated.

What a perfectly thoughtful written piece. Thank you so much, Kwame for giving us a brake from the disgustingly political challenges that is dividing our once unified country, culturally and destroying our natural up-bringing based on national patriotism and Pan-Africanism.

Ghallyhood for Ghana films is simply disgustingly nonsense, Period!

Ghana, unfortunately has lost her naturally gifted root and adopted to foolish things foreign despicably killing the very foundation of our fine and enviable traditions, believes and culture.

Can't believe our beautiful hi-life is today turned to westernized hip-pop music with our once educative Osofo Dadzi theatrical programs turned to Agya Koo learning karate and our film industry allowed to be completely taken over by unscrupulous Nigerians whose interest is just profit making which has nothing to do with the real life and culture of our people.

My question is, what message are our today's just money centered actors and promoters sending out there?

Watching some of these films can make you judge the end from the beginning. Same old cheap stories based on love, witchcraft and a fake 419 pastor stories repeated over and over just with twisted titles. Who defends the consumer's right here?

I sincerely believe lovely Dzifa, who is one of the most patriotic and nationally dynamic appointed minister, reads this piece of wisdom or somebody close to her alert her to read from here for I strongly believe that this is a worry of majority concerned Ghanaians.

She certainly need people like you, Kwame, as personal adviser on such important matters that affect us culturally and spiritually raised here.

Bravo! good piece and please, come again!!!

Quite an exciting piece, Bro Kwame.

I can't but admit that it's very deeply-thought of.

Long live Ghana.

the writer seem to have fallen on his own sword! Yes lets move from the idea that anything Western is better than Ghana counterpart. In the next breath he refers to the fact that we are now in the modern age of iphones and that spiritism which most Ghanaians believe in is backward. backward by whose standard? He thinks Ghanaians should be areligious and make reason and logic (western concepts)the pillar of our development. Religion, which includes spiritism plays an important role in the lives on Ghanaians please!

There is so much in our Ghanaian society that is being ignored,eg cheating everywhere including our schools, dirty environment. Why waste resources on witchcraft movies.?

this is where your go wrong, the devil wants to decieve men he doesnt exist, and doesnt want his secrets exposed,it is 4 this reason that he wants to put a stop to acting those movies, those movies are acted to expose how they operate in spirit and to englightens christains to watchout. why complain, those movies teaches us good lessons,like GOOD alway prevails over evil,God is Greater and powerful than Satan.if you dont believe spiritual things exist then dont read the bible or go to church anymore,as long as you believe theres God then know the devil who always opposes Gods people.

Change will come when the desire for enlightened knowledge prevails. Belief in superstition breeds ignorance and backwardness.

101% agree with you. I hate that name with a passion. Thank you Kwame. I could not finish reading your piece because it's a bit long. But you made my day when I got to the paragraph about Witchcraft in Ghanaian movies. I don't watch African movies LARGELY because of that.

Great article.i hv always wondered where all our values and morals vanished to. Copying blindly.most often I watch gh movies and I either don't get the head n tail of the story or there r just no morals in the movie.i looove this article except the comment abt Bollywood. I don't care for the name Bollywood but they do make great movies and they hv been in this business for a very long time.in 99% of Bollywood movies u don't see sexual acts or any form of excessive immorality.it has more values better story lines etc and even though Ghana is still up coming they hv gone wayward too quickly.i can't comfortably watch a gh movie with my kids cuz I don't know wat kind of scene I will see.its disgusting these days wat they put out there.i really hope something is done abt it
