Ghanaian musician, Mujahid Ahmed Bello, known in showbiz cirlces as Fancy Gadam has advised his colleagues to consider children when composing songs.
According to him, children consume songs a lot and clearly the lyrics could have an impact on them.
Against this backdrop, he has appealed to his colleagues not to go raw in their lyrics, but remember that adult contents in songs should be coded to make it difficult for children to easily grasp.
“We need to consider the children by hiding adult content in codes to make it difficult for children to understand,” he said.
The Total Cheat hit maker made this remarks in an interview with The Spectator.
According to him, “when children hear some words from people they adore, they wholeheartedly accept it and in some cases act, which could have a negative consequence.”
For this reason, he believes that musicians including him, have a responsibility to protect children in their lyrics.
He said after recuperating from an accident he had two years ago, COVID-19 struck making him coil into his shell, however, he is now back in full swing.
Fancy Gadam is currently out with a new song dubbed, Kom, to wit water which was sang in the Dagbani dialect.
“Any time you impress the elderly, they give you something which they say is for water. The song is to inspire the youth to accpet all opportunities which come their way,” he said.

Ghanaian musician Sista Afia has raised concerns over how road construction is done in Ghana.
The singer took to social media to pose what she described as a genuine question to contractors, especially those working on roads.
She questioned why it appears that when a road is being worked on, all lanes are destroyed at once, leaving motorists with no usable lane, instead of working on one lane at a time.
Sista Afia wrote, “Contractors, I have a genuine question for you, especially those working on roads in Ghana. Why is it that whenever a road is being worked on, it sometimes feels like all the lanes have to be destroyed at once before we get even one lane to use? If it’s a three-lane road, wouldn’t it make more sense to work on one lane at a time, while leaving the others open for motorists to use?.”
The “Asuoden” hitmaker admitted she is not a contractor and there might be technical reasons for the approach, but noted that from a road user’s perspective, completely blocking or damaging all lanes at once creates heavy traffic and inconvenience.
“I’m not a contractor, so maybe there’s a technical reason why things are done this way that I don’t understand. But from a road user’s perspective, completely blocking or damaging all the lanes at once creates so much traffic and inconvenience. Wouldn’t working on one lane at a time, where possible, allow construction to continue while still giving people a usable road? Maybe there’s something I’m missing. Contractors, please educate me,” she added.
Her post has since sparked conversations online, with many road users agreeing with her while others attempt to explain the engineering process behind such construction methods.
