Ghanaian musician, Odarky Andy has said that it is important to put in effort on your own to be able to attract the eye of helpers.
Making an appearance on Onua Showtime, hosted by Nana Ama McBrown, the product of Mentor1 fame indicated that he believes that God-given talent, if not used right, will be taken away. He added that self-help is very pivotal, or else one will delay in life.
“I think when God gives you a talent and you don’t take good care of it, He takes his thing away. If after a long search, you do not get helpers, you need to help yourself because if you say you are waiting for a producer and he or she doesn’t come, it drags things,” he said.
He went further to share a wise saying that goes with what he had said in his earlier submission, elaborating on the need to strive on your own so that helpers will be drawn to you when they see the effort you are making.
“The older folks have this wise saying that goes “The one that climbs the good tree is the one that gets pushed. It didn’t say that if someone is standing under a tree, they should be pushed because for all you know, the person is there to take fresh air. If you make the effort, that’s when people see that you need help and they will push you,” he stated.
In view of this, he owns a record label which he finances and manages though he works in collaboration with MotMo Productions.
“So Fire House Music is my own record label. I am the CEO as well as the artiste but I have a team: Motmo productions that do the work though I finance everything,” he indicated.
According to him, “As I set out to climb the tree, I laid a prayer before God that ‘You can’t put me on TV, and make my talent go waste, else I’ll blame you so the song I am about to release, if it doesn’t hit, I’ll stop music’. The title of the song is ‘My Prayer’.”

After a show-stopping run on stage, Fiifi Coleman Productions is taking ‘I Told You So’ to the big screen.
This follows a successful roadshow tour across Accra, Kumasi, Takoradi and Cape Coast.
The final leg saw Cape Coast come alive on September 4 and 5, as Fiifi Coleman Productions staged a breathtaking rendition of the Bob Cole classic at the Centre for National Culture (CNC).
Patrons showed up in extraordinary numbers, filling the auditorium with energy, laughter, nostalgia and deep cultural pride. Over the two-night run, the production drew more than 2,000 patrons, making the showcase, dubbed The Afahye Experience, one of the most memorable highlights of the festival season.
Speaking to the media in an interview on Monday, September 7, Fiifi Coleman said the adaptation seeks to protect Ghana’s cultural heritage and history.
According to him, the storyline remains relevant in today’s society and the current generation has lessons to learn from it.
“The movie takes you through family responsibility, and who has the right in the family when it comes to marriage, the father or uncle?” he quizzed.
He noted that in recent times families often shelve the need to conduct necessary background checks before marriage, adding that ‘I Told You So’ brings all these issues to the fore.
He also revealed that the feature film would be due for premiere in March 2027 in commemoration of Ghana’s 70th independence celebrations.
The stage production delivered a seamless blend of humour, heritage and contemporary relevance, reminding patrons of the enduring power of Ghanaian theatre to unite communities and celebrate identity.
With its successful run on stage, the team is now taking a bold step to adapt it for cinema.
He expressed his appreciation to all stakeholders for their support in making the project a success.

Miss World Ghana 2026, Rumzia Sule, has returned home after representing Ghana at the Miss World 2026 pageant in Vietnam.
Rumzia arrived at the Accra International Airport on Tuesday, September 8, where she received a warm welcome from members of the Miss Ghana Organisation, her fellow queens and runners-up, family members and well-wishers.
The beauty queen was welcomed with flowers and the Ghana flag as she reunited with loved ones following her international pageant journey.
Rumzia was among 111 national ambassadors who participated in the 2026 Miss World Festival in Vietnam.
The grand finale was held on September 5 in Nha Trang, where Joheirry Mola Dominguez of the Dominican Republic was crowned Miss World 2026. Elisabeth Reynés of Spain was named first runner-up, while Taanusiya Chetty of Malaysia emerged as second runner-up.
Although Ghana did not take the overall crown, Rumzia made the country proud with her strong showing in the Beauty With a Purpose segment. Her sanitation-focused project earned her a place among the Top 6 African finalists in the segment.
Her project has focused on promoting sanitation and encouraging Ghanaians to take responsibility for keeping their communities clean. As part of the project, she joined the President’s clean-up campaign and collaborated with the “Bus Stop Boys” to clean some principal streets in Accra.
She also donated GH¢10,000 to the Bus Stop Boys to support their sanitation efforts as well as victims of the Accra floods in June 2026.
Later in the year, Rumzia is expected to extend the campaign to schools, where she will engage children on the importance of maintaining a clean and healthy environment.
Rumzia earned the opportunity to represent Ghana internationally after winning the 69th Miss Ghana pageant in July 2026. The competition was held under the theme: ‘Empowering Women, Enduring Legacy.’
