A renowned Takoradi based DJ, Michael Gawu, popularly known by many as Dj Premier Gawu who works for Skyy Power FM and currently the Programs and Events Manager for Skyy Groups has stated that, he does not need any payola for playing Naana Blu’s Odo Asem because it is a great song that should be played by all Djs who understand what good song is.
Listen to Naana Blu’s Odo Asem song:
The ‘pay-for-play’ practice termed as ‘payola’ is when DJs take money or gifts from musicians, their managers or producers in order to play their songs on radio or television stations. As long as there has been a music industry, there have been attempts — both overt and clandestine — to manufacture hits.
“We need to amplify good quality highlife songs from artists like NaaNa Blu so fans can find out more about such artists and support their works. Why do we need to wait for payola before playing and promoting something that promotes our own identity. Highlife is our own. It’s sweet to the ears,” Dj Premier Gawu admonished.
Watch how Dj Premier Gawu was enjoying NaaNa Blu’s Odo Asem song:
NaaNa Blu who has been nominated for UNSUNG category in the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards 2021 released her maiden EP, ‘This is highlife’ in September, 2020. The body of work by the ‘No Pressure’ Singer has five (5) highlife songs. The album is available on online streaming platforms. NaaNa has songs such as ‘Sugar Cane’, ‘No Pressure’, ‘Afehyia Pa’ and ‘Save Us.’

Myhelp-Yourhelp Foundation is a Christian NGO made up of young working professionals like doctors , nurses , bankers , journalists, teachers etc, who have come together to pool resources together aimed at alleviating the plight of the poor, the needy and the less privileged in society. They do these by mobilizing resources both internally from members and externally from benevolent organizations and individuals. They all believe that “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others”. – Mahatma Ghandi.
The foundation has successfully undertaken 10 major projects since inception; 5 orphanage projects and 5 other projects.
The foundation turned 3 years on 31st March, 2021 and in line with their 3rd Anniversary, they decides to tripped to Osamkrom to support the prisoners. Their motivation was based on Biblical inference on the following scriptures and with the theme “Behind Bars But not Bond.
Hebrews 13:3a
“Continue to remember those in prison as if you were there with them in prison”.
Isaiah 61:1
“The spirit of the lord God is upon me, because the lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings onto the meek, he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound”
In an interview with Mr Nicholas Coffie, the President and Founder of Myhelp-Yourhelp Foundation, he threw more light on theme as he expressed his sentiments on the fact that, there is a misconception that, everyone in prison is guilty of a particular crime. “The truth is that, some prisoners are innocent and even if they are guilty of a crime, there is the need to show them the love of God and bring them the saving knowledge of Christ. Crime knows no age and most of the cases in prison are because of lack of anger management. Anyone could find himself there”.
Mr Nicholas Coffie, Founder and President of Myhelp-Yourhelp Foundation
Upon arrival, the members of Myhelp-Yourhelp Foundation were welcomed by Sergeant Samuel Ofori spelling out the rules of the place. The members were as well met by a musical interlude by the Osamkrom Prison Choir.

In a short meeting between the ADP and his vice, together with some executives of Myhelp-Yourhelp foundation, ASP Delali revealed that, they were greatly astonished by the gesture of the Foundation.

Mr. Nicholas Cofie in his closing remarks narrated how a member of the foundation, Mr. Ray Yorke Dadzie, had spotted the prison in the bush on his way to Akim Oda few years back and recommended a visit to the foundation. It had hence been in plan but was halted by the restrictions imposed by the Covid 19 pandemic.
Mr Nicholas Coffie
He said the Foundation was unable to do many such projects since it relies mostly on the contributions of its members to undertake its projects but he believed that, as stated by Hudson Taylor, — “God’s work done in God’s way will never lack God’s supply”.
He further appealed to Government, public-spirited individuals, philanthropists and benevolent organizations as well as other international and local NGOs and the general public to lend a further helping hand to inmates of Osamkrom camp prisons who have plans to expand their kitchen, infirmary, common room and also fix their water pump and acquire a tractor for farming projects.

PROFILE OF OSAMKROM PRISON CAMP
Osamkrom Camp prison can be located in the Central Region of Ghana in a town called Osamkrom, started as an open camp and a farming station in the early 90s. It is situated on the main road off Agona-Swedru and Winneba Junction in the Gomoa East District, about 10 kilometers drive from Winneba Junction. It accommodates only male inmates with less sentence below six years. At Osamkrom Camp prison, inmates receive more counselling to be reoriented back into their communities. The prison engages inmates in farming activities, tailoring, and basketry. These inmates were about 250 in number and between the ages of 18years to 56years manned by about 165 officers who run on 3 shifts in a day.
Despite their small number with regards to the population of other prisons in Ghana, Osamkrom Prison had challenges ranging from logistics in the areas of infrastructure, Agriculture and Health. The facility lacks a properly resourced infirmary to take care of the inmates.
In an interview with ADP Justice Essumang, he revealed that, there have been instances where inmates had to be transported to Cape Coast or Korle-bu in Accra to receive medical attention.
The Only pumping machine that helped to pump water to serve the prison was broken down and they had to go days without taking their bath anytime supply from GWL is interrupted.
He also revealed that, the facility lacked a tractor to support their Agriculture projects, yet for the year 2020, they supplied maize to the maximum-security prison at Ankaful, winneba local prison and one other station in Accra.
