She wasn’t the only one who appears outraged by Gabby’s assertions that the Ghanaian entertainment industry doesn’t support Ghana’s developmental agenda.
Media personalities, Lydia Forson, Kafui Danku and Bridgette Otoo, all vented their anger at Mr Otchere-Darko for “disrespecting” the efforts of industry players in the movie sector.

Yvonne made her thoughts known in a series of tweets, with one of them saying “people in high places just don’t know our struggles. It’s unbelievable.”
Miss Forson said: “Our industry is not perfect, far from, in fact it needs a lot of help and structure; and we need to have important and brutal conversations about it. But if the people who promised to help aren’t doing their jobs,they shouldn’t have a right to speak on it either”.

Kafui Danku also urged the government to put structures in place to encourage movie actors and not to bash industry players making efforts.
Leadership!!!!! We need structures in place and some encouragement not this! What do we do when TV networks get cheaper content from India and Latin America? pic.twitter.com/a7MRvNz08K

Honestly, I wish we can have this conversation openly and I also wish people will forget about their position and age and face bare facts. I wish…. I wish… I wish. @yvonnenelsongh I want to talk, not type !

This Gabby Darko who has been stealing NPP campaign monies thinks he can talk shit and get away with it. I want to see NPP, my own party in opposition because of this arrogant Gabby and people who think like him.
He is speaking the truth!
Nelson and Forson should give us a break.
Always responding and attacking every objective views expressed by well-meaning Ghanaians.
Please be ready to learn…..
