Renowned Playwright, James Ebo Whyte has revealed that he has always valued talent more than certificates.
wanted to live on his talents and not to pursue life based on certificates.
For a country like Ghana, where people value and place much respect on educational titles, Mr. Whyte thinks otherwise.
Uncle Ebo, as he’s affectionately called said even though he was good at marketing, he couldn’t see himself working in the corporate industry.
The renowned dramatist, said he always prayed to God for wisdom and that he had always felt that his calling was in writing.
“I had the feeling to live on my gifts so I didn’t want anything to take me back. I felt deep down that I have been called to writing.” He told Andy Dosty on Daybreak Hitz on Hitz FM Thursday.
He further cited instances where he had to get rid of his certificates or intentionally fail a paper. All these just so he could make time to develop his passionate career.
“…figures come easy to me and letters too so it becomes easy for me [to follow my passion]. I am older than most computers in Ghana. I have a terrible handwriting but what has that got to do with anything. Now I can hardly write with ink because I am used to computers,” he said.
Uncle Ebo is set to stage his latest play, ‘Special Delivery’ at the National Theatre on March 31, April 1 and April 8. The play will show at 4 pm and 8 pm each day.

We earlier brought you reports on the impending tribute concert for the late Ebony Reigns. The tribute concert, according to organizers is intended at raising money for her impending funeral.
Posters for the concert were released yesterday and we brought you all the stories about it that one too.
We however followed up with a story that the Manager of the late Ebony Reigns, Bullet was lashing out on some artistes who according to him are hypocrites.
Bullet in a Facebook post said some musicians are requesting money before they perform at the concert. Meanwhile, according to Bullet, these same artistes claim they loved Ebony.
Billed to perform at the concert are some top artistes in the country from all the music genres.
Some of the confirmed artistes include; Stonebwoy, Sarkodie, Samini, Yaa Pono, VVIP, R2Bees, Kofi Kinaata, Feli Nuna, Ras Kuuku, Brella, Danny Beatz and Bosheba.
However, conspicuously missing in the list which was printed on the official poster was the SM King, Shatta Wale. Perhaps, for this reason, many Ghanaians believe that Bullet’s subtle Facebook post was directed to him.
So, even though the CEO of RuffTown record didn’t mention any artiste’s name in his post, a lot of Ghanaians are speculating and mentioning Shatta Wale to be part of the said hypocrites.
The final funeral rites and burial service for the late Ebony will be held on March 24 at the forecourt of the State House in Accra. This will be the next day after the vigil of tribute concert.

Rex Omar about most Ghanaian musicians
“I’ll advice any up and coming musician that until you start to making big money from music do something to support it on the side, otherwise you’ll get the name with no money to support it. Popularity with no money is a curse. As soon as you’re given a creative arts mind in this country if you don’t get somebody to advise you to do something in support, trust me, you’ll have a big name with nothing to support. Most of our artistes are just hyped they have no money, I can say 95% of Ghanaian artistes have no money. Very few of them will have GHC100,000 in their account. Yet, hype, hype … it’s showbiz so they have to show that they’re okay but at the end of the day they have nothing.”

“To the young generation of Africans, it is your time to shine. Africa needs a new crop of leaders who will ensure that public interest is the underlying principle in government decision making.
Agenda 2063 and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals will not happen by themselves. We need dynamic and effective leadership to make it happen.
For the new leaders, the way to transforming the Ghanaian society would be through better leadership. Theirs is a vision of greater access and better education for all children, greater access to health, water and sanitation, inclusive growth, sound management of the economy and a better environment for the private sector to thrive and to create jobs.
For them to chart a new course for Ghana means a paradigm shift away from raw material export economy. They know that despite all the wealth of natural resources – from gold, cocoa, oil and gas – Ghana faces the risk of being trapped in its Lower Middle Income Country (LMIC) status if we do not push our productive capacities as a nation, if we do not make growth inclusive, if we do not give all our children access to quality education to develop their natural talents and if we do not give women fair and equal opportunities in all spheres of our socio- economic and political society.”
