MEET THE ENTERTAINMENT MOGUL PRINCE WILLIAM!

When I walk up into an interview, I have expectations, rarely are my expectations met but today I was proved very wrong by this industrious son of Ghana.

"Prince Etornam William Attipoe is my name.. I am a twin and my twin is Prince Edinam Wilson Attipoe...he is my best freind and my business partner...I have always been a business man hence back in junior high school, me and my twin used to loan money to our collegues for interest."

"I developed serious interest for entertainment in Junior high school but it got intensive in Senior high school. Even though I was good at rapping, my brother and I decided not to develop it because musicians at that time were not paid well. We therefore decided to think of ways that can make the industry pay entertainers what is due them." Prince with Reggie Rockstone

"After Senior High school whilst waiting for our results, we started laying the neccessary foundationn down and building the right network. We formed NewMax Concept which was an event/talent management company that evolved with hard work into NewMax company Limited...under Newmax we had NewMax IT which is an IT specialised department. We build websites, database,softwares etc..we built some of the most sophisticated websites in the country certified by google. We built the first ever digital education system which is a software that manages the whole school system certified by GES and used by schools notable among them is Datus."

Wait a minute....As he continues to churn out his achievements, I can't help but wonder how old he is.....well let the interview continue. " We alsohave Newmax Talent Management where we manage the profesional career of some entertainers. In that regard, we've worked extensively with Reggie Rockstone,Lynx entertainment,Luckie Lawson,Fred Johnson,Makafui Ninkcabs,etc...we also do alot of business consultations for people like Joseph Agbeko and the likes."

"I developed a serious writing and speaking interest after reading a lot of Martin Luther's book. I realised he mirrored the society at the time, so I decided to be a reflection of my society today so I started writing on a lot of the things that is happening around us today. In 2006, I wrote an article on cremation to BBC and it was picked. I was subsequently called to debate the subject matter which I did to their admiration. ever since,I have been a constant member of the BBC Africa Have Your Say team and have written and debated over 15 topics with some of the most powerful people across Africa including sitting and ex presidents."

"I was also a speaker at the state of the World Forum in Israel Jerusalem.I also spoke in St. Mary University in Ethiopia. I have spoken in some few cities in Nigeria, South Africa and some other African countries. I have been invited by some few universities in Europe and America as well. I mostly speak on youth leadership,self developmenty,employee enthusiasm boosting etc. I am the president of Beyond the Tunnel(BTT), A group of speakers which includes Reggie Rockstone, Prof, JBK Aheto, Mrs Phillipa Pepara, myself, and Rev....we as a group have lectured in some schools in Ghana notable among them is GIS,Ghana Telecom University etc..personally, I have sspoken in a lot of churches in Ghana and alot of coperate organisations."

So what at all hasn't he done?

"My strengths are, I have developed a serious network of great people around myself ranging from top politicians, top business executives, top journalist,top diplomats, powerful entertainers nationally and internationally."

Having U.S.A senators and congress personalities as freinds is not the normal trend of businessmen we have in Ghana..well meet the exception.

"So far, I have been able to maintain my low profile life style because i really love the low profile lifestyle. I gives the opportunity to really know whats going on down there and it helps me to be me. I am very humble. I am an author of a soon to be published book which has addressed all questions on how to be a successful entrepreneur and how to develop yourself to the top. The book has already caught a lot of attention home and abroad. I was also among a six member team of resourced people selected across Africa to draft a blue print to help brigde the gap between Africans in Africa and Africans in the diaspora, this was done in Geneva when i was barely 21years old.The document was adopted by AU and some other world governing bodies".

A sigh of relief and utter disbelief, I have every reason to believe that this young man I sit before shouldn't be more than 25 years. This story needs to be told the world over and I would ensure that.
