Entertainment is a way of relieving stress after a hard day’s work. Of course as the popular nursery poem goes ‘ All work and no play, make Jack a dull boy’, our fore fathers knew this right from the onset that is why they had their ways of entertaining their families after a hard days work. Yes, ‘by the fire side’ where all the lovely ‘Ananse’ stories were told.
So that was just a flash back, but perhaps, you are not old enough so you never experienced any of such but how about when televisions were introduced in Ghana and the tide changed from ‘by the fire side stories’ to Television series.
Ghana has come to witness great television shows that have made Ghanaians rush home from where ever they were to get home and watch. These programs got Ghanaians all glued to their TV screens to catch the next episode to see how the story unfolded itself.
But what do we see today? Isn’t is baffling to see Ghanaians go for foreign movies and even take the pain of translating them into our local dialect? So what if the time and resources apportioned to promote and inculcate the cultures of Indians, Mexicans, Philippians, Malaysians just to mention a few are used to rather develop the African-Ghanaian stories and culture?
Instead of the usual Kumkum Baghya, The Promise, Timeless Love, Veera, Jodha Akbar etc that have dominated our TV screens these days, can’t we just for once put our TV sets on and see Tales of Ananse, How Yaa Asantewaa Led Men To War, The Great Stories of Otumfour, The Wonders Of Okomfo Anokye, The Mysteries Of Togbe Tsali, The Woes and Sufferings Of African Slaves in the Hands Of Their Colonial Masters among others? Are these too much to ask for. I’m sure many of us don’t even know how Gold Coast became Ghana but we can remember all the telenovelas including their soundtracks that we’ve ever watched. Can’t companies or industries just sponsor our own? Think about it, do you know the number companies sponsoring these telenovelas to be aired four to five days a week and continuously for six to three years as I learnt some of them can even go beyond three years?
So with this and we expect children of this generation to pay heed to their parents or even consider chastity when all they ever see or watch is quite the opposite?
Let’s refresh our memories today as Ghaflagh.com brings you five very interesting and educative Ghanaian TV series that have been killed by Telenovelas.
1. HOME SWEET HOME
Home Sweet Home Casts
This was a family packed series that dealt with almost every aspect of being a family. It had much to teach husbands, wives and their children on how to relate as a family. Missing an episode was like loosing a gold coin.
2. TAXI DRIVER
The TV series was centered on the life of an ordinary taxi driver who had extraordinary conversations and expeditions with his passengers while trying not to get on the bad side of his boss (Master Richard, played by Nikki Bekoe) by making sales.
The driver, T.T ( played by Psalm Adjeteyfio) was always being threatened by his boss who was known as a professional braggart anytime he visited the house. The highlight of the TV sitcom was how the driver always signed off at the end of each episode with “see ya” (See you). It was very hilarious and educative.
3. THINGS WE DO FOR LOVE
The series was centered on adolescent life and then challenges that come with it. It depicted the typical community life of the Ghanaian and was a model for relationships and how to manage peer pressure.
Some casts
The series featured some popular characters such as Jackie Appiah( as Enyonam) and Adjetey Annan who was known in the series as the vagabond “Pusher”,Majid Michel(as Shaker).
The show has been brought back to life with a new name YOLO (You Only Live Once) with some of the old casts still in and it is doing well.
4. KEY SOAP CONCERT PARTY
The live comedy show was more or less like a talent hunt show and was one of the most viewed in the country. The TV show had two sections with the comedy featuring comedians preceding the show to be followed by a short drama which was full of humor and moral lessons.
The highlight of this live show was a competition to find the best comedian in Ghana dubbed, “Who is Who?” The competition run for a number of years and many comedians were adjudged “The Champions of Comedy”. The show was one for the whole family.
The show did produce a lot of veteran comedians including Bob Okala and Nkomode, Agya Koo among others.
5. AGORO
Agoro was very popular quiz program produced by Charter house that aired on GTV on Saturdays. The competition was hosted by veteran actor David Dontoh and consisted of contestants who practiced their knowledge of Ghanaian proverbs by attempting to answer some of the questions that were being asked. Winners walked away from the show with prices worth thousands of Ghana Cedis. This Show has however been revived as ‘Agoro Keteke’ which airs on Sundays at 2:00 pm on Metro TV with Babie Dapaah as the hostess.
6. INSPECTOR BEDIAKO
Omgghana.com referred to this show as the all time favorite show “Csi- Ghana.”
The series, full of action and suspense was centered around the life of an incorruptible police officer who was bent on fighting crime and bringing criminals to justice.
It was so popular and interesting to the point that many people started mimicking the life of the main character, Oscar Provencal. The series did not have a dull moment since the law (Inspector Bediako) and its perpetrators (Criminals) were always at each other’s throat.
8. KYEKYEKULE
Uncle George
The popular kids’ program was a joy to watch because it educated as well as informed and entertained children. It was hosted by Uncle George Laing as he and his TV crew moved from one school to the other to entertain, educate as well as learn learn with the children. Many kids were fascinated by the English prowess of Uncle George. It was shown mostly on Saturdays.
9. BY THE FIRE SIDE
some casts
The Children’s story telling show was based on the life and escapades of the folklore character, “Kwaku Ananse”. The spider was noted for his amazing mischief and sly character.
An excerpt from the show
The show consisted of popular actors like Maame Dokono (Grace Omaboe), Wofa Yaw, Dr. Rokoto and others telling stories of the legendary Kwaku Ananse and other folktale stories which were acted out by enthusiastic and talented children with singing and dancing. It was telecast on Saturday afternoons.
10. LOCAL DRAMA
The local drama had come to be generally called “Akan Drama” since Twi was one of the dominating languages. The local drama was aired in different languages and starred actors from different drama groups. The TV show caught the attention of all and sundry since the local language was easy to understand.
The local drama series took over the airwaves and was aired on Sundays. It got many people finishing their chores on time to be able to watch the drama series which was produced in Twi.
Of course, these were indeed the good old days. But there is always ‘Sankofa'(It’s not taboo to fetch what is at risk of being left behind). We can promote our culture if we want to. So which one of these was your favorite?
The President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has launched the National Digital Address System, “GhanaPostGPS” in Accra.
The program was done in partnership with the Communications Ministry and Ghana Post. The digital adrress system is expected to give the country an accurate database of addresses.
At the launch of the system, President Akufo-Addo said that “we have stayed true to this commitment, and reaffirmed it in this year’s Asempa Budget. From today, every land or property will be assigned a unique identifier. This will facilitate improved ownership data and unique identification of properties and persons. A proper addressing of properties will ensure efficient delivery of services for economic development.”
“With this new system, every property in Ghana will have an address and can be accounted for, including the location of the blue kiosk, the ‘waakye’ seller or the ‘koko’ seller. The Property Addressing System also means that the ‘koko’ seller can now open a bank account, as he or she will be able to meet the basic requirement to access loan facilities from a bank. The ‘koko’ seller, like many other small businesses, can also grow his or her business,” he added.
This is a step in the right direction for the country. It was next to impossible to get basic directions to places. With this National Digital Address System, we hope that it would have its necessary impact on the country.
Below is a video on how to install and use the Digital Address System

Fuse ODG yesterday took to Instagram to state his displeasure about a skincare brand.
On his Instagram he posted about a Nivea billboard that had a tagline “for visibly fairer skin”. He started a debate about how the brand is advocating for bleaching of the skin.
https://www.instagram.com/p/BaWhRHkgO9h/?hl=en&taken-by=fuseodg
Fuse is pissed with that phrase because he thinks it’s a “shade” to the dark or black skin that encourages bleaching.
He started the crusade against Nivea, threatening that he’ll cause their billboards in Accra/Ghana to be pulled down if Nivea does not heed to his protest.
However, some of his fans stated that the product does not bleach the skin and the singer had the tagline all wrong.

The President, Nana Akufo-Addo, has stated that he is beginning a drive to reduce and cut down on the huge food imports into the country.
He made these remarks at the launch of his One-District One-Warehouse initiative at Ejura in the Ashanti Region.
The launch was part of the events to mark the 37th World Food Day by the United Nations under the theme, “Change the Future of Migration-Invest in Food Security and Rural Development”.
The event drew people like stakeholders in the agriculture sector and school children. There was an exhibition of diverse crops and farm produce from different districts.
President Nana Addo revealed that the objective of the Warehouse initiative was to increase production of staples like maize by 30 per cent, rice by 25 per cent, sorghum by 28 per cent and soya bean by 25 per cent.
The President said that government will ensure that the warehouses are equipped with modern equipment including drying and freezing systems.
“The warehouses will be certified to enable them to participate in the Warehousing Receipt System by the commodities exchange systems,” he announced.
The President believes the initiative will promote financial inclusion of all smallholder farmers as they will be able to deposit their farm produce in these warehouses and be able to lease them to address their financial needs.
This implementation will advert the issues of farmers selling their produce at cheaper prices due to fear of wastage.
“They can store their produce in a more efficient and effective manner. They can keep the crop to meet international standards. Warehousing will promote non-traditional exports,” he said.
The warehouse program will see to the construction of a 1000 metric tonnes capacity warehouse in each of the 216 districts across the country.
As part of the event, President Nana Addo laid the first block for the foundation of the first warehouse at Ejura which is a maize dominated farming community.
A new logo for the One-District, One-Warehouse initiative was also launched at the event.

Ghanaian hiplife artiste, Odartei Milla Lamptey, best known in showbiz as Gasmilla or ‘International Fisherman’, has asserted that artistes who do full time music tend to be more successful than part-time musicians.
The ‘Telemo’ hitmaker made this assertion when he was speaking to Candy Man on the popular Akwaaba Show on Atinka FM where he further revealed that he has become quite successful because he has ventured into full time music.
He therefore advised up-and-coming artistes to devote all their time to music if they really want to reach the top.
The ‘International Fisherman’ and ‘Aboodatoi’ hit maker also maintained that, he is without any doubt the originator of ‘Azonto’ music as well as the most versatile musician in Ghana now.
Gasmilla, who has never failed to disappoint his fans when it come to the releasing of hit songs has come out with yet another ‘banger’ dubbed ‘Joo’ which means ‘dance’ in Ga aside his ‘Telemo’ and ‘Bentua’ hit songs.
Beautiful actress Martha Ankomah, has stated that one of the ways Ghana can revive it’s collapsing movie industry is by putting up more cinemas.
She made this suggestion when she was speaking at the launch of the 6th Session of Actors, Presenters, Professionals and Musicians for Christ.
According to her, the sale of movies has been tremendously low in recent times and that the only way to arrest the situation is to build more cinemas to market and promote new movies.
“If we could get investors who will set up cinemas, it will help revive our collapsed industry. In Nigeria, the CD business has gone down… we have just about three cinemas in Ghana but in Nigeria, Lagos alone has about 35 cinemas. They even want more to sustain their industry,” she said.
The event launch which is being organized by the Timothy Bentum Ministries is scheduled to come off on the 8th of December,2017 at the Accra International Conference Center.
