Ghanaian actors who have ventured into other businesses

The debate as to whether the Ghanaian movie industry is dead or still alive is one that cannot be concluded anytime soon.

Noticeably, Ghana’s movie industry has been fast declining over the years due to many reasons including the lack of investment, interest from the audience, just to mention but a few.

Ghanaian actors have since as a result, diversified their skills in other fields in order to stay relevant and to feed their families.

With some turning into ‘globetrotters’ transacting strange businesses, others own private businesses, and some are now TV hosts, cooks and so on.

www.ghanaweb.com has identified a section of Ghanaian actors who have ventured into other businesses aside acting including those rambling on social media without any identifiable jobs.
