The 2024 3Music Awards has exposed some skeletons in the closet regarding issues surrounding the awards program.
The absence of Baba Sadiq, the National Democratic Congress Parliamentary Candidate for Okaikwei Central, and an executive producer of the 3Music Awards, has sparked discussions among netizens, questioning why he was absent despite being a key member of the organizing committee.
This has propelled him to the top of X trends for Tuesday, October 1, 2024.
Other trending topics are President Akufo-Addo, Shatta Wale, #LetsVoteThemOut, Accra Sports Stadium, and #StopGalamseyNow.
Here’s a breakdown of why these topics are trending:
Baba Sadiq
Netizens speculate that Baba Sadiq has been ousted from the 3 Music network for reasons unknown.
Additionally, some users blame him for various issues, including the lack of publicity and awareness of the program and the absence of certain artistes at the show.
President Akufo-Addo
The president is in the trends for varying reasons.
From the incident at the Ghana Journalist Award where he supposedly chided the GJA president for making comments on the galamsey menace in the country, to the arrest of protesters against galamsey, netizens are expressing how they feel about his presidency and his governance.
Shatta Wale
The musician has faced backlash from netizens after he advised them not to follow politicians for protests, stating that they would be abandoned and left to their fate if arrested.
His comments come in response to criticism for his silence regarding the current issues surrounding galamsey and the arrest of some #StopGalamsey protesters.
Accra Sports Stadium
The race by the sports ministry and the government to secure CAF's approval for one of the country's stadia: either the Cape Coast Stadium or the Accra Sports Stadium, ahead of Ghana's AFCON qualifier match against Sudan, has resulted in significant rehabilitation works.
New images of the Accra Sports Stadium show how lush and green the pitch has become, in stark contrast to its deplorable condition following the ban on the Baba Yara Stadium by CAF.
Ghana risks having to play its matches at a neutral venue if it does not meet CAF's deadline for getting the stadium in shape and up to standard.
#StopGalamseyNow
Netizens are actively advancing their campaigns and advocacies regarding the devastating effects of galamsey on various sectors of the country.
