My instincts were very sure that it was going to be more than one Ghanaian artiste but to our surprise,\u201d it wasn\u2019t so.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is what we do and sometimes when some good things come your way, you know that you deserve them. If you don\u2019t deserve them, you know also. I know and I feel that I deserve it having won the first one, the first time I went there.
