Actress Gloria Boakye has urged Ghanaians to love and appreciate talents in the country rather than using Nigerian stars as benchmark in the showbiz industry.According to her, if Ghanaians develop the habit of supporting and loving each other’s talents, it will promote the industry to the outside world.She said instead of Ghanaians as well as movie producers and directors helping the movie icons to develop their skills they rather discourage them in everything they do on set.Gloria Boakye, who is also known in the showbiz scene as Chelsea said although Nigerians adore Ghanaian talents, they don’t discourage their own. “They adore Ghanaian talents and appreciate us too much but they also appreciate their people and don’t just condemn their own.”
She however, admitted that Nigerians are making impacts globally because of their ambitious nature, adding “Nigerians are very ambitious, everywhere you go Nigerians are making impacts”.The actress added “In Ghana we don’t really appreciate our own and support our own that is the hallmark of the whole problem. If we celebrate our people and appreciate the talents God has given to this nation, it will go a long way to encourage people to go beyond being a star in Ghana and looking beyond”.She further stressed that there are a lot of good talents out there but because they don’t get the necessary support, they are forced to go out somewhere to be accepted.
