In a
very taut schedules that encumbers me from updating you with latest
entertainment happing’s and matters arising from them, I have tried to write
this piece as an eye opener and bringing to light the hypocrisy that has swamped
radio in Tamale and since, causing its retrogression.
Don’t
take this personal if your identity is divulged in this artifact, this is for a
greater cause… seeing attitudes change towards sincere contributions and
criticism for an improved radio industry in Tamale.
Who is
a hypocrite?
A
person who pretends to hold standards, virtues, or other
characteristics that one does not actually hold. It is the practice of engaging
in the same behavior or activity for which one criticizes another.
I
have patiently followed comments of radio commentators on social media and
utterance on radio for some years now. It has been difficult so far, matching
their actions with what they say and write and most importantly the inconsistencies
in their opinions.
The
first category of hypocrites; they see nothing positive about radio in Tamale,
yet they have little or no knowledge in radio.
The
second category: The know it all hypocrites: they rely on their so call long
time experience in radio to condemn the upcoming radio personalities disregarding
the mutable nature of radio. I believe they are envious of the new generation
and don’t want to come to terms with the fact that they are hoary.
The
third and last category: The enemy in flesh: They pretend to appreciate efforts
of individuals and the industry, comparing almost everything to flinch controversy.
They are selfish and much more dangerous than the two above.
All
these hypocrites consistently complain and compare industry players in the
radio fraternity with a hidden agenda. Their names I have… but will revel in
the next article.
To be continue…
