Patent your inventions…Bnoskka appeals to Apostle Kwadwo Safo
Benjamin Oduro Arhin Jnr affectionately called Bnoskka, an Assistant Lecturer at the School of Creative Arts, Univeristy of Education, Winneba has appealed to Founder of Kristo Asafo, Apostle Kwadwo Safo (KANTANKA) to patent his inventions.
He said it would be of great interest in the world to have a Patent Title granted to Apostle Safo for his numerous inventions.
Bnoskka who is also a Creative Business and Intellectual Property Consultant said these recently when speaking on Patent Rights as a guest on ‘Mmranim’ show on Kantanka TV.
According to him, Ghana’s Patent Act 2003, Act 657, was an inheritance from the British 1623 Statute of Monopolies, the Statute of Anne of 1710, the Madrid Protocol of 1891, the PNDC Law (1616) and the current 2003 Act 657.
He explained that there were three types of patent: Utility, Design, and Plant for which Apostle’s inventions qualify him to be captured under utility and plant patents.
“Utility patents are issued for inventions that are novel and useful. Design patents protect the design or image of a product. Plant patents are issued to applicants for plants that can reproduce,” Bnoskka elaborated.
Consequently, he made the passionate appeal to Apostle Kwadwo Safo to try and file patent for his inventions through any of the three types of registrations: National, Regional and International for the sake of African youth future, and to be remembered worldwide for having invented a utility which has been patented.
“This will be of the interest to our nation Ghana, and to the African continent for posterity and a heritage for future generations,” he noted.

In the ever-evolving journey of Ghanaian music, there are individuals whose contributions transcend the spotligh.
There are always men and women who work quietly yet powerfully to preserve culture, nurture legends, and keep the soul of the music alive across generations and borders.
One such figures is Jerry Amoah, widely known and affectionately called Nana Kobo.
This year, Ghana Music Awards-USA honours Jerry Amoah for his unwavering commitment to sustaining Ghanaian music, both at home and in the diaspora.
It is a recognition long deserved, a celebration of decades of passion, sacrifice, and cultural stewardship.
Jerry Amoah’s journey has never been about personal glory. Instead, it has been anchored in service: promoting Ghanaian sounds, advocating for artistes, and ensuring that the richness of Ghana’s musical heritage continues to resonate beyond national borders.
Through his tireless efforts, many Ghanaian musicians have found platforms, audiences, and renewed relevance, especially within Ghanaian communities abroad.
Central to his legacy is his steadfast support for gospel music and, in particular, his enduring association with legendary gospel icon Yaw Sarpong.
At times when gospel music needed champions, Jerry Amoah stood firm—protecting its values, amplifying its message, and honoring its pioneers. His respect for Yaw Sarpong is not merely professional; it reflects a deep appreciation for music as ministry, heritage, and moral compass.
Colleagues often describe Nana Kobo as a bridge—connecting generations, genres, and geographies.
He understands that Ghanaian music is not just entertainment, but identity. Through festivals, promotions, mentorship, and behind-the-scenes advocacy, he has helped ensure that Ghana’s rhythms, lyrics, and spiritual expressions remain relevant in a globalized world.
As Ghana Music Awards-USA prepares to bestow this honour, it is not simply recognizing one man—it is saluting a lifetime of dedication to culture, faith, and music.
Jerry Amoah’s story reminds us that true impact is measured not by applause, but by legacy.
And in the story of Ghanaian music, Nana Kobo’s legacy is written in bold, enduring notes.
