The ace broadcaster who few weeks ago shared his impressive musical roots, which started from age 8, said that though he admired the business ethics and never-say-no-spirit of Nigerians, but it must be on record that Ghana has to be given adequate credit for her ability to produce movie stars that can stand shoulder to shoulder with other African counterparts. He mentioned top rated stars who got their breakthrough from Ghana, before Nigeria came calling.
