Published

on

ICS Africa CEO, Emmaline Datey, and Professional Master of Ceremonies, Smart Takyi Nixon, Last Saturday raised the curtain for the 2022 edition of the Kasanufo Public Speaking Training and Contest at the YMCA Ghana Secretariat in Adabraka, Accra.

Facilitating the discussion on “Honing Your Skills as a Young Speaker”, Emmaline spurred the trainees on to use Kasanufo as a catalyst to create, grow and promote their brands and excel in their chosen careers.

The experienced speaker emphasized that a speaker’s private life is as important as his or her public life and as such one’s private life must be in consonance with their public life because any form of dissonance will destroy the speaker’s reputation, integrity and credibility.

Smart Takyi Nixon, speaking right after Emmaline, took the mantle and eased the trainees into his area of expertise, “Achieving Powerful Vocal Variety”. He intoned that the voice is the greatest tool of a Public Speaker and so, it must be cared for and sharpened for the best of results.

The popular Voice Over Artist and MC took the trainees through steps and procedures through which they could train and maximize their unique voices to get the results they sought through their speeches.

At the end of the trainers’ delivery, the trainees, numbering over 45, were given the floor to present their speeches on the topic, “I Know My Level”.

Each trainee was given 3 minutes to share who they are with the audience. While some spoke about their most cherished childhood memories and experiences, others on their personality and what they value most, and some on their ambitions and exciting things about them.

on

Ghanaian comedian Putogo is set to fly the country’s flag high on an international stage as he joins the star-studded lineup for the 12th edition of the Destalker Laughter Crusade scheduled for June 14 at the iconic Eko Hotels & Suites in Lagos, Nigeria.

His inclusion in one of Nigeria’s biggest comedy events is a major achievement for Ghana’s comedy industry, especially as Putogo stands as the only Ghanaian billed to perform at the highly anticipated show.

The Destalker Laughter Crusade, organized by popular Nigerian comedian Destalker, has grown into one of West Africa’s biggest live comedy experiences, attracting thousands of fans, celebrities, influencers, and entertainment industry players every year. The annual event has built a reputation for combining stand-up comedy, music, celebrity appearances, and unforgettable stage moments into a full entertainment spectacle. Official event information confirms this year’s edition will take place on June 14 at Eko Hotels & Suites in Lagos.

Putogo’s journey in comedy has been one of persistence, consistency, and determination. Over the years, he has gradually carved a unique identity for himself within Ghana’s entertainment industry through his energetic stage presence, relatable humor, and ability to connect with audiences from different backgrounds. His comedy style, often centered around everyday Ghanaian experiences and social realities, has helped him build a loyal following both online and on live stages.

Unlike many entertainers who rise overnight through viral moments, Putogo’s growth has been built steadily through performances, content creation, audience engagement, and continuous improvement of his craft. He has worked his way through local comedy platforms, public shows, entertainment events, and digital spaces to become one of the recognizable faces within Ghana’s fast-growing comedy scene.

His rise reflects the evolution of Ghanaian comedy itself. In recent years, the comedy industry in Ghana has experienced major growth, with comedians increasingly gaining recognition on television, social media, and international platforms. Putogo has been part of this new generation of entertainers helping to push Ghanaian comedy beyond traditional boundaries and into broader African conversations.

The development is also significant for Ghanaian comedy as a whole. For years, Ghanaian musicians have largely dominated the country’s entertainment exports across Africa, but comedians are now beginning to gain stronger continental recognition. Putogo’s inclusion on the Destalker Laughter Crusade lineup signals the growing influence and acceptance of Ghanaian comedy within the wider African entertainment ecosystem.
