According to Mr Gideon Kofi Gyimah "A celebrity is someone whose life is worth celebrating and emulating". But in Ghana, any popular person at all is seen as a celebrity.
"Celebrity status has now been cheapened here in Ghana, why should the likes of Efia Odo and Efia Schwarzenegger, Shatta Wale and several others who thinks going naked on social media is the only thing they can do to survive"
"Why should people call themselves celebrity's when their lifestyle is not worth emulating, as a celebrity you need to live a life worth celebrating and having a positive impact on the society, be a role model to the young ones, he added.
"Let's not confuse Stardom with Celebrity, an artiste will just release one hit song and all of a sudden he/she is a celebrity, that's not right, these guys week hit the stage and make a mess of themselves because they have only one hit song, if these guys are celebrity's then what will we call Amakye Dede, Daddy Lumba, Kojo Antwi, Sarkodie and the likes?
Some people will also be making noise all over social media, going nude day-in-and-out and the next day you see people referring to them as celebrity's, he told dawuroafrica
Let's not joke as a country, let's not be bemused with mediocrity, Let's give the right people the needed recognition.
