That is one thing Ghanaians have been suffering from. We are proud and open up to other people than ours,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The lack of support for Ghanaian music, he said, is a reason for the decline of the industry.<\/p>\n<p>He thus called on Ghanaians to emulate Americans who would promote their contents other than foreign contents.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCountries leading in anything are patriotic. America has been using this mind game. They act like they haven\u2019t seen any artistes but Ghanaians don\u2019t do that,\u201d he fumed.<\/p>\n<p>He cited instances abroad where he couldn\u2019t have access to songs hailing from the African continent; a move he believes we need to adopt to progress unto the international market.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn China, people are not allowed to go on YouTube to listen to my albums. If I go to Germany, there are certain songs I can\u2019t listen to,\u201d he explained to host, Bulldog.<\/p>\n<p>Sarkodie, therefore, urged various Disc Jockeys across the country to support the industry players by including more of Ghanaian songs in their playlists.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOutside they have so many songs they listen before they get to yours. If we can fix that, everything will work. Play Ghana music they would love it\u2026,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 57 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>Entertainment of Wednesday, 20 December 2017 Source: adomonline.com 2017-12-20 Sarkodie BET award winner, Michael Owusu Addo popularly known as Sarkodie has claimed that most Ghanaians do not show sense of patriotism towards the country\u2019s music industry.
