    Question is what does this bring to Ghana? Popularity or jobs? I believe CB asked for $1 million and the businessman accepted the offer, thinking he's going to make his money back plus profit. Which means he must think that y ...

    I think rlG should have use the money to equip the national fire service with high tech equipments. Just in case their 75 storey tower catches fire at the top most floors how would our fire men put it off? As3m b3ba dabi.

    This is the capitalist system,you are worth what somebody is prepared to pay for your services. The said amount being paid to Chris is private money and that is their business.The local stars should negotiate what they believ ...

    Ok, $1 million to Chris, and so how much is the ticket for this show? Are they even going to generate more than a million dollars for ticket sales in this stadium? Would the sponsors even make any profit from this concert?

  • NANA 11 years ago

    Ada Boy I disagree with you,it is for this reason that is why it is often said blacks by nature don't know how to build capital.The little we get we feel like spending,why should we pay $1m for such a show.

  • The Smart One 11 years ago

    I'm sorry, but I have no sympathy for the complaining about how much Chris Brown was paid. Has there been national outcry about how much various government agencies and ministries were over budget last year? NADMO alone spent ...

    Slayer I agree with 100%. I am an AFrican-American and no way in hell would I pay him 50cents to perform. We in the West often send the wrong damn message to our kids, Africa please don't make the same mistake!

    The musician union of Ghana must move in to negotiate for the Ghanaian acts immidiately . The promoters should be asked to pay
    $100,000 to each of the Ghanaian acts or stop the show

  • Triller Miller 11 years ago
