In the realm of creativity, it often appears that we have everything we need—yet we seem to lack the foundational wisdom to truly utilize our resources. This striking observation comes from Bullgod, a renowned artiste manager and entertainment critic, who recently voiced his concerns regarding the current state of Ghana's creative sector.
Bullgod's frustrations highlight a critical issue: even with an abundant pool of talent and resources at our disposal, the industry is faltering due to a significant absence of vision and a coherent strategy for growth. During a segment on ‘The Chat’ aired on Channel One TV on Saturday, October 4, 2025, Bullgod passionately discussed this topic while reflecting on Sarkodie’s Rapperholic Homecoming Concert. He boldly stated, "I consistently stress this point: we possess all the necessary resources, yet we lack the sensibility to employ them effectively. There is no reason for us to seek solutions beyond our borders; everything we require is right here within our reach."
Despite Ghana's wealth of creative talent, Bullgod argued that progress has stagnated because of inadequate planning, insufficient investment, and a lack of robust institutional support.
Calling upon all key players—government agencies, corporate partners, and industry visionaries—he urged a shift towards a more strategic and forward-thinking approach to nurturing and expanding the creative economy. He emphasized that changing our mindset is pivotal for unlocking the industry’s full potential.
