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.
President John Dramani Mahama has cautioned that the rapid growth of Artificial Intelligence (AI) could worsen the spread of misinformation across the world if not managed responsibly.
Speaking at the International Conference on Information Integrity in Paris, the President said AI tools such as deepfakes and synthetic media are increasingly being used to manipulate information and distort public perception.
He warned that the misuse of AI poses a serious threat to democracy, public health, and global stability, adding that protecting information integrity must be treated with the same urgency as national security and economic development.
“We are back to win the global war against misinformation and disinformation. Disinformation is not an abstract issue, it shapes elections, distorts public health responses, fuels conflict, and undermines the fight against climate change,” he pointed out.
President Mahama said false information continues to erode public confidence in science and government policy, even a decade after the signing of the Paris Climate Accord.
He noted that while AI presents huge opportunities for innovation and growth, it must be used responsibly to ensure that technological progress builds, rather than destroys, public trust.
“Our collective task must be to harness AI responsibly, promote transparency, and ensure that technology strengthens, not weakens, our societies,” he said.
The conference brought together world leaders, media experts, and technology innovators to discuss ways to protect information integrity and strengthen democracy in the digital age.
