Big Ghun graduates with Master’s Degree on eve of premiere of ‘Vibes The Movie’
Just few hours to the premiere of his maiden movie, ‘Vibes The Movie’ at the Silverbird Cinemas, Accra Mall and West Hills Mall on Saturday, October 4, budding filmmaker, Nicholas Tetteh Nartey, popularly known as Big Ghun has worn another feather in his cap.
Today, October 3, he has earned a Master’s degree in Brands and Communications Management from the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA).
He posted the good news on social media with the caption “Another win is here”. Indeed, it is a big win for the award winning filmmaker who’s had to juggle rigorous academic work with the demanding world of filmmaking to be part of Ghanaian creatives steadily climbing the academic ladder.
Big Ghun joins a list of Ghanaian entertainers such as musician Becca, Sarkodie’s personal DJ, DJ Mensah and Multimedia’s Doreen Avio who’ve equally earned Master’s degree in Brands and Communications Management from the same institution in previous years.
He is confident his new academic feat will shape and sharpen his career path and choices as he makes a bold step with the premiere of ‘Vibes The Movie’.
The Vibes phenomenon began as a weekly social media series blending rap, comedy, and relatable storytelling about the everyday hustle of Ghanaian youth.
Within just a year, it captured the nation’s attention, amassing over 10 million views across various social media platforms and featuring many influential personalities who added their own spark to the movement.
The drama features an impressive list of talents including Clemento Suarez, Aaron Adatsi, Feli Nuna, Giovani Caleb, Godwin Namboh, among others.
Big Ghun, is making headway in the entertainment industry wearing different shoes as a musician, director, producer, social media influencer and entrepreneur.
Projecting his brand as a bourgeois, Big Ghun who’s also known as ‘Small boy sugar daddy’ is the Managing Director of PB Studios Africa Company Limited, a production outfit with specialisation in TV commercials, TV shows, movies, documentaries and animations.
In 2013, Leaked, a movie he co-directed saved Ghana at this year’s Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCAs) when it picked the MultiChoice Talent Factory award.
He is confident Vibes The Movie will capture similar feats after premiering.
The Minority in Parliament has strongly objected to any planned merger or partnership between the government and Telecel, describing the deal as “technically, operationally, and financially unconscionable.”
Ranking Member on the Communications Committee, Matthew Nyindam, raised the concern during a media briefing in Parliament.
He questioned why both the Minister of Communications and Telecel would publicly announce a merger and then suddenly go silent on the matter.
“We object to any deal with Telecel by way of merger, absorption, or acquisition. This is a scheme to dispose of a national asset to fill private pockets,” Mr. Nyindam stated.
He argued that Telecel has not demonstrated any special technical or operational expertise that staff and management of AT (formerly AirtelTigo) do not already possess.
According to him, Telecel had earlier promised to invest $500 million after acquiring Vodafone Ghana but failed to do so, a situation he fears could repeat itself if the government allows another deal.
Mr. Nyindam claimed that Telecel was already indebted to the tune of $400 million, adding that the company only seeks to benefit from AT’s over three million customers to expand its own base without making any real investment.
“The government must not surrender the capacity of a state-owned company to a private entity through majority ownership. There is no clear plan to protect the jobs and livelihoods of thousands of workers,” he stressed.
The Minority Caucus is therefore calling on the government to halt any discussions or agreements with Telecel regarding the proposed merger, insisting that the deal is not in the national interest.
The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) has suspended all fines issued by its Compliance Team on the country’s roads, effective Wednesday, October 15, 2025.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, the Authority explained that the suspension follows feedback from the public and further consultations with stakeholders.
The Compliance Team’s enforcement exercise, which had been intensified in recent weeks, was aimed at ensuring that drivers and vehicles met all legal requirements before operating on the road.
However, the DVLA said it was pausing the activity to allow for more engagement and public education on the exercise before it is reintroduced.
While assuring the public of its commitment to promoting safety and compliance, the Authority emphasized that the suspension only affects the fines and charges being enforced by the Compliance Team.
It added that all legal requirements for drivers and vehicles to operate on Ghana’s roads remain in force.
