We choose which situations suit us at a particular time and behave as saintly creatures when we share opposing views to things we detest. Most of the Kumawood actors who demonstrated against the influx of telenovelas on Ghanaian television are hypocrites.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n It is true that we are having too many telenovellas on Ghanaian television at the expense of our movies. It is true that most Ghanaian movie producers are not able to do a lot of productions of late because of the recent hiccups of the film industry.<\/p>\n It started with the English-language movies; they suddenly atrophied and got virtually missing on the scene.
