I don\u2019t know who you\u2019re waiting for to come and support you, but if we have an opportunity, let\u2019s just support our own people. Whatever comes off it, we\u2019ll accept it like that. It\u2019s ridiculous that we keep expecting the world to come and support us when we\u2019re not supporting ourselves,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><p>\n<div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"z49C-oy2Q_c\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"If we can&#039;t partner to capitalize on the creative sector, don&#039;t point fingers at others - Mawuli\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/z49C-oy2Q_c?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/p><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He attributed his comments to how Nigerians, including stakeholders and other individuals, rallied their support behind Hilda Baci, the Guiness Book of Records holder, when she began her cooking marathon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The film maker said it was an opportunity Ghanaians missed, but Nigerians upheld it and made it relevant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe reality is that people don\u2019t realise that these opportunities have incredible ways to cutter port not just the people but the country in an amazing way. When people were supporting Hilda Baci for cooking, it wasn&#8217;t because they liked food that much or because they liked Hilda per se, but what she was doing was embodying something that was bigger than just her\u2026There were efforts put into it. We had a golden opportunity to do something like that, but we missed it,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The model further expressed his disappointment at how the majority of Ghanaians sit on the fence and backlash others that are thriving to better the creative industry, although they are not willing to help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He has cautioned such individuals to stop the criticism if they are not ready to synergise and capitalise on the creative sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nevertheless, the producer assured that he, together with his colleagues in the creative space, will continue the hard work to transform Ghana\u2019s industry despite the government and other stakeholders\u2019 unwillingness to support them.<\/p>\n \n                               <p><strong>DISCLAIMER: <\/strong>The Views, Comments, Opinions, Contributions and Statements made by Readers and Contributors on this platform do not necessarily represent the views or policy of Multimedia Group Limited.<\/p>      \n                <!-- Post Tags -->\n                \n\n                         \n                                             \n                    <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ghanaian-based Nigerian film producer and actor, Mawuli Gavor has called on Ghanaians not to expect global aid when the citizens are not willing to support one another.
