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 donation, made on Friday, May 22, was presented on behalf of the First Lady by the Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection, Agnes Naa Momo Lartey, at the GFA Technical Centre in Prampram.
The gesture forms part of efforts to motivate and support Ghana’s young female footballers as they prepare to represent the country on the international stage.

The donation included cartons of Milo, T-rolls, soft drinks, toiletries, and a range of essential supplies aimed at supporting the welfare of the players, enhancing camp conditions, and easing preparations ahead of their respective assignments.
The Black Maidens are currently engaged in preparations for the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup qualifiers and are set to take on Liberia women’s national under-17 football team in the second-leg encounter in Liberia this weekend.
Meanwhile, the Black Princesses have already secured qualification to the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup after overcoming Uganda in the qualifiers, extending Ghana’s remarkable record to eight consecutive appearances at the tournament.

The prosecution has officially rested its case in The Republic v Solomon Asamoah & Another, the high-profile legal battle commonly referred to as the “Sky Train” case.
The Deputy Attorney General Justice Srem Sai announced the development, praising the state’s team of hard-working prosecutors for successfully anchoring the state’s evidence before the High Court.
The criminal trial centers on the former Chief Executive Officer and the former Board Chairman of the Ghana Infrastructure Investment Fund (GIIF).
The duo stands accused of illegally authorizing and paying out US$2 million to a foreign company without obtaining board directives or other mandatory statutory approvals.
State investigators have confirmed that the disbursed millions cannot be found.
Following the closure of the prosecution’s case, the accused persons moved the court for an opportunity to file a submission of no case.
The presiding judge granted the application, ordering the defense to submit their arguments by June 8.
The outcome of the June 8 filings will decide the fate of the trial:
With this, if the judge finds the defense’s submission convincing, the accused will be acquitted and discharged however, If the judge dismisses the submission, the court will order the accused officials to take the stand and explain why they should not face prison sentences.
