Patience Nyarko<\/strong><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ghanaian gospel artiste, Patience Nyarko, has attributed the success of the Vodafone Ghana Awards (VGMA) to the nationality of the founder, Iyola Ayoade.<\/p>\n
According to her, there has been a great change in the Vodafone Ghana Awards (VGMA), making it better and very unique.<\/p>\n
While praising the awards\u2019 organisers for maintaining the programme for more than 20 years, she said on Adom FM<\/em><\/strong>\u2018s Entertainment Hall with Mike 2, \u201cGhana Awards, despite the fact that they are a business, have significantly aided Ghana\u2019s music industry. Let\u2019s think about the several awards we have and see which one can meet expectations better than the VGMAs.<\/p>\n\u201cSome people criticise the fact that it is organised by a Nigerian, but if it had been organised by a Ghanaian, it would have failed,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
She also voiced her concerns about the VGMA\u2019s impartiality, particularly in the decision-making process for award winners.<\/p>\n
The gospel artiste, however, claimed her song \u2018Obi Nyane Me\u2019 deserved the Most Popular Song of the Year award but didn\u2019t even get any nomination.<\/p>\n
\u201cLook at my song, \u2018Obi Nyane Me\u2019; it was popular and deserved Most Popular Song of the Year award, but it never happened. But I understand that business people will think about their interests, so it\u2019s okay,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
The Vodafone Ghana Awards (VGMA) is organised by Charterhouse Productions, a company owned by Nigerian business magnate Iyola Ayoade and his Ghanaian wife Theresa Ayoade.<\/p>\n
Established in 2000, the 24th edition of the scheme was held this year at the Grand Arena of the Accra International Conference Centre.<\/p>\n
The VGMA celebrates and recognises outstanding achievements in the Ghanaian music scene and has played a significant role in promoting local talent on the global stage.<\/p>\n
It is the most anticipated event on the Ghanaian entertainment calendar, in spite of the criticism that comes with it.<\/p>\n
