We need just two ambassadors for Ghana\u2019s music industry, not only for performance sake but to teach the youth what music entails because most of them see it as fun. There has been so much talks that the government doesn\u2019t support but I believe we don\u2019t help ourselves\u201d he stressed. <\/p>\n<p>The musician made this call when he finally visited the President upon his request he made when the President wished him a Happy Birthday on October 17.<\/p>\n<p>The \u2018Kakai\u2019 singer told the first man of the land that with his huge following, He believes the ambassadorial position when given to him, will affect lots of lives.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have got the youth listening to me and I feel they look up to me. People know where I came from to where I have gotten to and I feel it is a motivation to the youth coming up\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>Shatta Wale said most of the young guys he normally talks to feels that he used other means to be where he is now but the dancehall musician said it is all about hard work and dedication.<\/p>\n<p>President Akufo-Addo on his part said it is an excellent initiative and they need to be encouraged. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is an excellent initiative and definitely needs to be encouraged, so we will do that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FGhanaHomePage%2Fvideos%2F1686506888093369%2F&amp;show_text=0&amp;width=560\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" style=\"border:none;overflow:hidden\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: -1 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Music of Wednesday, 1 November 2017 Source: www.ghanaweb.com 2017-11-01 play videoShatta Wale appealed to the President to appoint an ambassador for Ghana\u2019s music industry &#13; &#13; Dancehall musician Shatta Wale has appealed to the President of Republic of Ghana Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to appoint an ambassador for Ghana\u2019s music industry.
