Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Ghanaian musician and event organizer, Mimi Andani has stated that one of the reasons she is not as wealthy as she thinks she could be is because the government does not encourage the creative arts industry.
She answered the topic of whether working in the creative arts has been worthwhile during an appearance on Showbiz A-Z on Joy FM.
She said that it is worthwhile, but admitted that it would have been preferable if she had been in a nation that valued its creative abilities.
Because of her many talents, the former Big Brother Africa housemate said that she would have been a billionaire in such a nation.
“It’s worth it; it could be better if I were born in another country where creative arts were being taken seriously. I believe if I were born somewhere else, I would be a billionaire by now because I’m gifted; I can do a lot of things,” she said.
Mimi Andani, who is also the C.E.O of the Golden Movie Awards, lamented the fact that the government is not taking the creative arts industry seriously and has no intention of profiting from it.
“Where I come from, they think that those of us who do these things are not serious. No government wants to take us seriously; they don’t want to curtail these things, they don’t want to make it a money box,” she explained.
She added that the government investing in the creative arts industry would have immense benefits for both the industry and the country at large.
“As we benefit, our country benefits. So, I can say it’s okay, but it could be better based on who is governing,” Mimi Andani said.
