Dr UN Loses His Temper After Journalist Questions Credibility of His Awards

Ghanaian awards organiser and public figure, Kwame Owusu Fordjour, popularly known as Dr UN, has reacted angrily after a journalist questioned the credibility of the awards he organises during a television programme, taking offence at the question and demanding that the reporter be removed from the show.

The tense moment occurred when the journalist directly asked Dr UN whether he gives out bogus awards, a question that appeared to touch a sensitive subject and immediately changed the atmosphere of the discussion.

Dr UN did not appear pleased with the way the question was presented, as he took issue with the journalist’s choice of words and made his displeasure known during the programme.

His response went beyond expressing disagreement, as he reportedly demanded that the journalist be taken off the show, indicating that he was unwilling to continue the engagement under those circumstances.

The incident has brought renewed attention to the controversy that has surrounded Dr UN and his awards scheme, particularly since the widely discussed ceremony he organised in 2020, which attracted considerable public scrutiny.

Dr UN became a major subject of discussion in Ghana after the event, where several prominent personalities were presented with awards, prompting questions about the credibility of the honours, the organisation behind the ceremony and the process used to select recipients.

The awards ceremony generated considerable debate, with members of the public questioning the significance of some of the recognitions and the basis on which individuals were selected to receive them.

Although the controversy brought criticism, Dr UN has continued to maintain his identity as an awards organiser and has defended the initiative against questions about its legitimacy and reputation.

The latest exchange suggests that the subject remains a sensitive one whenever he is asked to explain the nature of the awards and the standards guiding the selection of recipients.

For the journalist, the question was an attempt to seek clarification on an issue that has followed Dr UN since the 2020 ceremony, but the encounter instead turned into a confrontation over the wording of the question.

The demand for the journalist’s removal also became the most striking part of the exchange, shifting the focus from the awards themselves to Dr UN’s reaction when their credibility was openly questioned.
