Can\u2019t you see that they are very, very excuse me to say, shallow? They don\u2019t understand issues. If want to fight for something, fight for one that will benefit you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cGo to Kenya and Uganda and South Africa and go and see if they are showing Nigeria movies on their television. Our film industry is collapsing. I remember when I was a boy; I saw UTNA and NAFTI producing lots of local contents. There are no local contents on our television. You are not concerned about that, you are concerned about something you do not understand,\u201d he fumed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He however admitted that the celebrities have a right to embark on the vigil as well as demonstrate over issues, but he stressed that nothing will be achieved because \u201cwongbo has done it\u2026wahala has done it. So their demonstration will not make any difference\u201d.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cYou can demonstrate that you are eating too much rice and you want yam, it is your right, but at the end of the day, if you don\u2019t appreciate the issues, I don\u2019t think anyone is going to take you serious,\u201d he remarked.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">By: Eugenia Tenkorang\/citifmonline.com\/Ghana<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Radio presenter, Gilbert Aggrey, known in media circles as Abeiku Santana, has described the \u2018dumsor vigil\u2019 as unnecessary.
