Europe edition of ‘The Journey’ show full of motivation- Abena Ghana
Ghanaian actress and television personality, Cecilia Gyase Konamah affectionately, called Abena Ghana, is set to touch lives with her Europe edition of ‘The Journey’ show.
This edition which focuses on Ghanaians in Belgium started airing yesterday on Adom TV at 11.30am.
The programme which is a talk show focuses on the stories of people who have had great life experiences worth sharing to inspire others,
Speaking to The Spectator Agoro, Abena Ghana said, the new episode was to educate, motivate, and inspire viewers to know that success was achievable if one puts in hard work.
“Some of the stories are how hard it was for them to travel outside the country, how some of them got their passports as citizens in Belgium and the hustle they went through to achieve all they have now,” she revealed.
She said the viewers should expect more stories from the diaspora on how life is treating those there and also how they survive abroad.
Touching on the impact since the inception of the programme, she said, “We always receive good comments from the viewers and some sharing their life struggles and sometimes how it relates with some of our guests’ stories and gives them hope for the future.”
“Special thanks goes to Adom TV for been with us all these years. Also to all my sponsors on the show like Time Herbal Mixture, Medimafo Herbal Hospital, Givers Clean Care, Nyadua Herbal Mixture, Konamah Entertainment and CEO Noks TV Africa in Belgium for making this season possible,” she added.
Abena Ghana also expressed appreciation to Queenie Shipping, Dennaac Travel Consult, Anniluv Shapewear, King Solomon Trading and Macdens Eectricals in Belgium who made this season possible.

Mikki Osei Berko poised to save Ghana Actors’ Guild
Veteran Ghanaian actor, Mikki Osei Berkoe, affectionately called Master Richard, has pledged his dedication to saving the ailing Ghana Actors’ Guild.
Ghana Actors Guild, over the years, has been inactive in performing its role due to disunity and conflict within the group.
From the days of the late Nii Odoi Mensah, Reverend Eddie Coffie, to Sammy Fiscian, the guild has not been in the best of shape.
After the death of Reverend Eddie Coffie in 2016, Samuel Fiscian was elected President, but after assuming office, the Guild has been involved in an endless legal battle.
All of these things are happening at the expense of the Ghanaian movie industry, whereas in other jurisdictions, the guilds ensure fair wages, legal support, workshops, royalty collection, welfare systems among others.
Against this backdrop, Mikki Osei Berkoe believes it is time for someone to rise to the occasion and bring the various factions together.
He is of the view that this would put the guild in shape for them to deliver on their mandate.
Speaking to The Spectator, he said, “Those of us who are already in it should also contribute to policy discussions, raise awareness, and push.”
He added that lack of leadership has rendered some actors poor, “Looking at the entertainment they gave the nation, their lives shouldn’t have ended that way.”
He therefore called for positive action in revamping Ghana’s movie industry to ensure that film practitioners not only entertain the masses but also secure sustainable livelihoods.
Master Richard called on all stakeholders to rally behind him to cause a change in the industry.
