And that is because of the damage caused by colonialism. It has actually severed us from looking our traditional dances as heritages that we must protect with all our might and with all our individual selves but we look at them as if they are for the unschooled persons,” he told Kwame Dadzie on Joy FM’s <strong> A-Z.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>He added that is the reason some people do not allow their children to study theatre arts the university.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He therefore called on the public to cherish Ghana\u2019s traditional dances. <\/p>\n<p>Terry also bemoaned lack of teachers are teaching aids for creative arts subjects at the basic school level. <\/p>\n<p>According to him, although Creative Arts and Basic Design & Technology are taught at the basic school level, there are challenges. <\/p>\n<p>He explained that these hiccups are militating against the preservation and promotion of our arts forms.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot until recently when we were tasked to look into the educational in the basic and senior high school, kindergarten, that we introduced the teaching of the arts. Performing arts, creative arts and design were put together as one that should be taught from kindergarten all the way. We\u2019ve done that but it is not fully implemented because there is lack of teachers to do that at that level, so all the teachers have to do is to make do with what they have, the little knowledge they have in the arts to try and teach that and the books too are not ready yet. <\/p>\n<p>We are going through a system where we are trying to change that but it is very difficult trying to implement this. Because within like an hour or 40 minutes you have to be able to teach dance, music, drama, visual arts and design. Within 40 minutes. That is the period for teaching.

When they finish the funeral, the people will be served local dishes and drinks including sobolo so that when we finish, we will bus them to these tourist attractions.<\/p>\n<p>Ghanaians love funerals, and it\u2019s voluntary. When there is a funeral here, we will announce that we can go to Bonwire. People are selling Kente there, and when they go there, they will spend money.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are busing them for free, so when we go to that area, there are restaurants there; they will buy food; they will buy artefacts. They will enrich the local economy. So we will take advantage of funerals to deepen our cultural assets and thereby create jobs for our youth\u201d, he remarked. <\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, the Minister\u2019s proposal has not been fully embraced with critics demanding a better approach to it.<\/p>\n<p>In the views of such critics, turning funerals into tourism platforms may risk making commercial a deeply personal and emotional event.<\/p>\n<p>Also, there have been concerns about respecting the wishes and privacy of grieving families.<\/p>\n<p>]]><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\thttps:\/\/www.myjoyonline.com\/ghana-to-leverage-on-funerals-to-boost-local-tourism-tourism-minister\/feed\/<br \/>\n\t\t\t0<\/p>\n<p>\t\t<title>Tory Lanez \u2018scared for his life\u2019 in prison after Megan Thee Stallion shooting<\/title><br \/>\n\t\thttps:\/\/www.myjoyonline.com\/tory-lanez-scared-for-his-life-in-prison-after-megan-thee-stallion-shooting\/<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\thttps:\/\/www.myjoyonline.com\/tory-lanez-scared-for-his-life-in-prison-after-megan-thee-stallion-shooting\/#respond<\/p>\n<p>\t\tMon, 25 Sep 2023 04:40:22 +0000<\/p>\n<p>\t\thttps:\/\/www.myjoyonline.com\/?p=10032382137<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<![CDATA[<\/p>\n<p>Tory Lanez is fearful for his life in jail after being found guilty of shooting\u00a0Megan Thee Stallion, sources exclusively tell PageSix.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTory is scared for his life and safety in prison.

The current walkout came close to beating the longest strike in WGA history, a 1988 strike that lasted 154 days.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can say, with great pride, that this deal is exceptional \u2013 with meaningful gains and protections for writers in every sector of the membership,\u201d the WGA said in its message to members.<\/p>\n<p>However, the tentative deal does not immediately end the strike.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo be clear, no one is to return to work until specifically authorized to by the Guild. We are still on strike until then,\u201d the WGA wrote. \u201cBut we are, as of today, suspending WGA picketing.\u201d The Guild encouraged members to join the picket line for the actors\u2019 strike instead this week.<\/p>\n<p>The actors\u2019 union, SAG-AFTRA, has also been on strike since mid-July; SAG-AFTRA represents about 160,000 actors.<\/p>\n<p>Both Hollywood strikes have been drawn-out and costly, with the nationwide economic impact of more than $5 billion, according to economists. Industries like restaurants, service firms and prop shops have also felt the ripple effects from the ongoing disputes and have had to cut staffing as a result. In New York, disruption of 11 major productions resulted in a loss of $1.3 billion and 17,000 jobs, according to Empire State Development.<\/p>\n<p>The WGA could on Tuesday authorize its members to return to work before the agreement is officially ratified by the union\u2019s members, it said in its statement.<\/p>\n<p>One person close to the matter said that, as a result, writers could potentially be back to work in just days.<\/p>\n<p>People familiar with the matter on Sunday night voiced optimism the studios\u2019 agreement with the writers will also allow it to reach a deal with the actors.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"wga-concerns\">WGA concerns<\/h2>\n<p>Revenue streams from traditional linear television have been declining, and streaming services \u2013 while growing \u2013 are losing money. Seasons for streaming shows also tend to be shorter, which means less work for writers.<\/p>\n<p>The writers have said they can\u2019t afford to live under the current economics and pay structure of the television and movie industry, with fewer job opportunities on many shows and lower pay for many writers who do find work. There are many successful, even award-winning, writers who are finding themselves unable to make a living at the profession anymore.<\/p>\n<p>Writers are also concerned about the rise of artificial intelligence and want protections to ensure movies and shows are written by humans, not machines.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, the use of generative artificial intelligence in production was one of the final sticking points, a person familiar with the matter said.<\/p>\n<p>]]><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\thttps:\/\/www.myjoyonline.com\/writers-guild-studios-reach-tentative-deal-potentially-ending-monthslong-strike-that-ground-hollywood-to-a-halt\/feed\/<br \/>\n\t\t\t0<\/p>\n<p>\t\t<title>It\u2019s tough without my dad \u2013 Akwaboah<\/title><br \/>\n\t\thttps:\/\/www.myjoyonline.com\/its-tough-without-my-dad-akwaboah\/<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\thttps:\/\/www.myjoyonline.com\/its-tough-without-my-dad-akwaboah\/#respond<\/p>\n<p>\t\tMon, 25 Sep 2023 00:25:32 +0000<\/p>\n<p>\t\thttps:\/\/www.myjoyonline.com\/?p=10032382073<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<![CDATA[<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s been five months since veteran musician Kwadwo Akwaboah died and his son, highlife musician Kwabena Akwaboah Jnr. \u2018dreads\u2019 life without him.<\/p>\n<p>Akwaboah Jnr. does not know how he will cope without his father around anymore explaining he had a very good relationship with his father who was also his best critic.<\/p>\n<p>Describing the relationship with his father, Akwaboah Jnr. said, \u201cI was closer to him than anyone else in the world.

has called for thorough investigations into the death of Afrobeat star, Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as\u00a0Mohbad.<\/p>\n<p>The association also said the \u2018nurse\u2019 who allegedly injected the deceased before his demise is not a registered nurse.<\/p>\n<p>The 27-year-old Afrobeat star, Mohbad, died on 12 September in unclear circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>Following his sudden death which has led to outrage both online and offline, Nigerians called for investigations to unravel the circumstances surrounding the musician\u2019s death.<\/p>\n<p>The police on Monday set up a 19-member committee to carry out a discreet investigation which covers exhumation, autopsy, scene visit, medical report, records of suspects, and witnesses\u2019 statements.<\/p>\n<p>The nurse, considered a major suspect in the case has also been arrested, according to the police.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Not registered<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In a statement signed by NANNM\u2019s state secretary, Toba Odumosu, and sent to PREMIUM TIMES on Saturday, the association said preliminary investigations indicate that the individual reportedly taken into custody by the police for providing care to Mohbad is not a registered nurse.<\/p>\n<p>The association said it is closely monitoring the situation with keen interest.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It also stressed the importance of professionalism in reporting and conducting the investigation which has gained global attention.<\/p>\n<p>The statement reads in part; \u201cOur preliminary investigations indicate that the individual reportedly taken into custody by the police for providing care to Mohbad is not a registered nurse.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe emphasise the critical need to verify the qualifications and professional status of individuals before labelling them as healthcare professionals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The association noted that it is regrettable that Nigeria\u2019s healthcare system faces significant regulatory challenges, \u201cleading to the presence of unqualified individuals performing medical roles they are not trained for.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It said to be recognised as a nurse in Nigeria, one must complete a rigorous five-year Bachelor of Nursing Science programme at a university, followed by an additional year of internship.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlternatively, one can undergo training at an accredited School\/College of Nursing and become registered and licensed by the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria (NMCN).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe wish to clarify that the term \u2018Auxiliary Nurse\u2019 has no place within Nigeria\u2019s healthcare system or its laws. An individual is either a qualified nurse or an unqualified individual performing tasks beyond their competence.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Condolences<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The association expresses its deepest condolences to the family and associates of the late musician, Mohbad, during this difficult time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe fully support the ongoing investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death and urge the relevant authorities to leave no stone unturned in the pursuit of justice for him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The association called on the investigating authorities and the media to exercise caution and accuracy in their reporting during this investigation.<\/p>\n<p>It said the association will not tolerate any misrepresentation of Nurses and the Nursing profession.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe demand that all media outlets that inaccurately reported the arrest of a Nurse take immediate corrective action to rectify their stories.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>]]><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\thttps:\/\/www.myjoyonline.com\/mohbad-nigerian-nurse-association-says-health-worker-who-treated-late-singer-not-registered\/feed\/<br \/>\n\t\t\t0<\/p>\n<p>\t\t<title>Nhyira Fm\u2019s Mama Effe honoured at Mali\u2019s 63rd Independence celebration in Kumasi<\/title><br \/>\n\t\thttps:\/\/www.myjoyonline.com\/nhyira-fms-mama-effe-honoured-at-malis-63rd-independence-celebration-in-kumasi\/<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\thttps:\/\/www.myjoyonline.com\/nhyira-fms-mama-effe-honoured-at-malis-63rd-independence-celebration-in-kumasi\/#respond<\/p>\n<p>\t\tSun, 24 Sep 2023 19:21:23 +0000<\/p>\n<p>\t\thttps:\/\/www.myjoyonline.com\/?p=10032381973<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<![CDATA[<\/p>\n<p>Eleanor Effe Amanor, popularly known as Mama Effe, the host of the “OBRA” show on Nhyira FM, has been recognised by the Gao Youth Association with the greatest appreciation.<\/p>\n<p>As part of Mali’s 63rd Independence celebration in Kumasi, Mama Efe was honored for her outstanding, consistent passion and commitment in supporting the needy, vulnerable, and the underprivileged in society through the media.<\/p>\n<p>In a room full of men, she was the only female to receive this honour.<\/p>\n<p>The Interim President of Mali, Col.
