Accra Mayor : I am a First Class StudentAdded:
Have you had any innocent maz? My first dragon I went for an interview with TV and the English wasn't good but was like my >> your girlfriend.
>> Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah. She has been she has been inside again. I feel like is a better legend a better legend than Ney.
Hi guys, my name is Akameo and I'm inside the green chair today.
>> What is your name?
>> My name is Ofi AOA popularly known as Akamo.
>> Okay, so which school do you attend?
What level are you in and what program?
>> University of Ghana level 400 and I'm a social work student.
>> What does social work in? What? Okay.
So, for my own, I actually want to help let's say people people with drug addiction and Yeah. It involves helping people. So, I just want to help people out there.
>> So, what do you do?
>> Okay. I'm just a normal person having fun on Twitter. That's what I do. Yeah.
And maybe I'll I'll involve myself into content creation when I'm done with school. So, that's what I do for them.
>> But you have a role as president of BY.
>> Yeah. It's part of the things you do. So tell us more about that.
>> Okay. So I'm the president of Beyond Control that that is medical fun base and we run the daily the day-to-day activities for medical. Yes. Involves promotion and any communication. We we release it out for everybody to hear.
That's what we do. Yeah. And that's what I do together with Prosper and my team.
>> How did you come by the position of president of BY Families? How did that >> Okay. So it was it was a meeting with uh medical and his management and they they actually selected me to be to be the president because of the vision they see in me that's why they gave me that particular position. So why the name?
Uh >> I okay I I was actually new to Twitter so I saw people using so I thought was too much so I had to take something different that's why I chose that.
>> At what point did you realize that people were paying attention to like the stuff you tweet? Uh I was I was having around let's say 3 to 2k and sometimes when when I go to Instagram I see people you sharing my tweets and my my my videos. Yeah. So that's when I noticed people were getting interested in my my my tweets.
>> So how do you balance what you do in BY fan base um the things you do on Twitter at the same time school work? It's not it's not it's not it's not easy cuz if you don't take care you get reset sometimes you be like oh you learn you be like oh let me go and check what's up on Twitter by the time you come they've learned in exams will come there in the E and the F so sometimes it's it's difficult but I do it small small yeah I balance it small that's what I do >> and so far have you had any visits >> maza >> oh yes yes yes I've gotten some papers after to rewritten them.
>> It's between I and my lecturer. I beg.
>> Okay. Do you think Ghanian influencers are respected enough? Do you think it's a respectable profession?
>> Yes. Yes. For the question, I'll say yes. Cuz if you want to loud something or make people hear your stuffs, you you have to involve influencers. So, they give us that massive respect. But the money aspect that's where I think they don't really respect respect them. I'm not one. I'm on the path to become one. So yeah.
>> Have you ever posted something and immediately?
>> Uh yes. Yes. It was during the election.
I was like pine people time people got more uh rejected ballots than the normal voting. So it was it was taken out of contest and they really dragged the hell out of me. So I had to like delete it.
Yes. So talking about dragging, how do you deal with criticism, trolling online? You are a member of the BY fan base. So how do you handle people coming not just at you but people coming at the fan base, people coming at the artist that you represent?
>> Okay. So my first dragon, I went for an interview with TV3 and the English wasn't good. I realized I've messed up. So they they posted a video and I was praising my god that nobody saw it s unfortunately somebody saw it and they they posted it. They really drag the hell out of me. But I just I just I was just reading the tweet and I went offline. I was like oh by the time I come back it will be down not knowing it was even up. So some I've I've seen as part of as part of the job. So I take it cool. And for medical I don't really take those things personal. I just do my job tweet my own the positive things about medical if you disrespect him or something medical he actually doesn't even care so I don't really care if but I'm not saying disrespect him but I don't really care if you disrespect him I'm here to just project the positive work out that's what I do >> talking about once again you have someone who is a big troll as an important part of the BY families that is your vice president >> yes >> do you think he is a And do you think there are some excesses in the way he approaches defending medical?
>> Uh even twins don't have the same uh attitude and Prosper is old enough. I've sometimes I advise him and he he listens. So I can't get him to be acting like me and he can't get me to be acting like him. So I some I sometimes talk to him to like slow down with things. So maybe he will in future but for now he's left to do his own thing.
>> Do you think that his utterances and the way in which he defends medical do you think they affect some of the PR work and do you think it would be easier if he didn't do that?
>> No. My only is to project the positive part and the positive things medical is doing. So I don't really think what he does actually affect our work in in a way it gets people to talk about it but I'm not saying what he does it's good but it gets the buzz around it. So yeah >> let's go to content creation. Do you think it's something that can actually pay the bills for any person not just pay the bills as a young person but pay the bills as somebody who is wanting to raise a family have kids have a brighter future. Yeah, we've seen Z Felix Abrich said you're living good lives. So I think we can you can make it through content creating but you're supposed to have a little tough skin. That's what I can see.
>> Is there a version of yourself that people online don't see?
>> But I'm very but okay. I'm I'm very intelligent when it comes to academic.
Sometimes my English it comes and it goes off too. But very I'm very intelligent and I I'm very fluent when it comes to speaking English.
>> So which influencer or content creator or agenda boy on the timeline do you think that that person deserves to be cancelled?
>> I've seen a video the video was like I beg I beg I can't answer. I can't I can't answer.
>> You have a lot of attention on social media. Does that get to your head? And if it doesn't what keeps you grounded?
Uh being creative on uh Twitter is very difficult cuz I mean you're supposed to like come up with funny tweets and know what to tweet. So it doesn't get into my head but it gives me more motivation to like do more. That's what it does to me.
>> You are somebody who works with an artist. So definitely know more about the Acan night lives.
Rate the Acan night lives on a scale of one.
>> Zero. Okay. Maybe zero is too harsh. two like two because now when you go for clubs everybody is is on their phones.
We don't really jam like we used to like back then maybe when I was in SHS we don't really jam like we used to everybody's trying to get content then by the time you realize they on TikTok your mother is sending it to you that hey school so right now it's not even fun like it used to be that's that's what I see >> your classmates in classes they know you as a >> no they know me as of that is mine my name that's because I feel like Legon students a lot of them are not really on Twitter.
If it was tech, I'm sure a lot of people recognize me, but Legon, I don't really think they on Twitter like that. Maybe they just come to just check what is trending. They I was I was in class and somebody was reading my tweet, but the person didn't know it was me. So, I feel like maybe almost 2% know it is me. The rest or sometimes I have to like tell them. And right now when you tell somebody to the person is like, "Oh, help me grow my account and things." So, I sometimes I keep it to myself. I don't really tell anybody. Yeah. Is there anything that you know now that you wish somebody had told you when were in level 100 regarding SU?
>> Yeah, cuz uh level level 300 I I was I had to sit up with my education level 100. I thought they told me I was I was a student of UPS then I felt the learning was too much. So they told me there was a lot of fun at leon. So I had to like defer and start all over Leon. But when I got to LEGO, I wasn't going to class and really involving myself in group work and things. So I thought Legon was easy like they told me, but it was a lie. So I felt like I would have learned a lot less with my with my books and my involved myself in those group works and things. But they didn't tell me. So I was just enjoying by the time I realized defe was my result. So I'm now trying to like bounce back. It's very difficult cuz Yeah. But I'm doing my best. So I wish I had learned sense that I was supposed to like take my book serious.
Yeah.
>> How do you feel about MDK not being artist?
>> Okay. So it was seven then we won four.
So we we we we go again. That's how that's how it works. We go again. I I felt so sad cuz if things had gone our way, I'm not sure even my mother would would have even gotten peace at home because every time so I didn't feel okay but we go again we we we still work and pray for more strength for that's what we do. If a younger you met Akaran to be would they be proud of of what you have done so far of yourself?
>> Yeah, cuz when I was young I really wanted to be a journalist and I I told my mother and she was like their pay is too small so I should focus on another thing.
>> But right now I feel I feel proud cuz every Friday I'm on Metro TV and I'm talking about football. So it's still the same journalism. So I feel proud.
Yes, I'll not be proud of my English but I feel proud of myself. So, have you so far have you made any money from influencing or being president of BY or all of the things that you told us you be doing? Have you made money from it so far? And how much can you put that into a figure for us?
>> This question, if I'm going to beg somebody for money, the person not giving cuz the person will think I'm okay. But maybe h maybe 20k uh 15k.
Yeah, that's that's the biggest amount I've gotten from like online. Yeah.
>> I see. What like did you do to earn that 15k 20?
>> Uh I can't do an ad a free ad for somebody. It was it was an ad. Yeah, it was an ad for a company for almost like 3 months on Twitter. I don't want to mention disclose the name. So yeah, that was what got me that particular amount.
>> If you could undo one decision in your life, which decision you did? um stopping uh UPSA to start a labor in Legon. I felt at a point I felt it was so unnecessary. Yeah, that's that's and I I have to clear something. People think I've been in school for like 7 years, 8 years, 9 years. Oh, I I completed 2019. So, I had to stay home for 2 years cuz I felt I didn't I didn't really want to go to school again. So I had to start all over at 2022. That's why some a lot of people on the timeline think I've been in school for long now. I started 2022. I deferred and I started all over.
That's why I'm still in school and I'll gra and I'll if you don't graduate me, I'll even graduate myself by first October. So I'll be done this coming October.
>> Where do you see yourself in the next 3 to 5 years? And how is what you are going to be contributing to that vision?
>> Okay. So yeah, social media actually helps cuz from watching Benny's and Khal and Kia, they always getting opportunities to like meet bigger people and ambassadors and things. So I feel it it will actually help me to explore a lot of things from outside and help me travel. So I feel what I'm doing will help me. Oh, that wasn't a question. I Okay. Okay. You have a love life.
>> Yeah. Right now I love my books and my a medical that that that Hey, those are the two people I love.
>> So So you don't have a girlfriend?
>> Oh, senior.
>> Yeah.
>> Okay. I have a girlfriend. I have a girlfriend.
>> Who is your girlfriend?
>> Her mother doesn't want to know we are dating, so it's confidential. But I have a girlfriend. Is your girlfriend popular? So >> Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. She has been she has been inside a green chair before. So guess >> but you will not tell us her.
>> No guess you're supposed to watch it and guess if you know then drop their name in the comment section that's what to help.
>> What controversial opinion do you have that you think most people would disagree with?
>> Can I can it be about football or like >> about >> Okay. I feel like Luandoski is a better legend, a a better basa legend than Neymar. Yeah. Because what what he has contributed is is is is too much for me.
So I feel he's a better legend than Neymar. If there's a position that remove Ne's name and put Landosski's name there.
>> Have you ever faked a brand deal or an experience or location to keep up with a lances online? Yes, in 2018 2019 we were involved in those I not say childish those hype things we used to fake it like it's not all we used to fake maybe sometimes we used to go to the mall then we just buy one you got then we just take pictures so yeah sometimes like post yeah so that's that's what we used to do on Instagram but on Twitter yeah Twitter they are supposed to be real because there are a lot of FBI there so even even if you try to fake someone who just bring the truth out. But my graduation day, whether you catch me or not, I'll post my pictures. I've graduated. It's up to me and be myself.
>> What do you want people to remember you for at this stage of your life?
>> Oh, okay. The the calm the calm guy who who doesn't talk down on people and just do a lot of positive stuff. Yeah, that's what I >> Is there something you'd like to give our audience? Is there something you'd like to clear up? Is there something >> Yeah, okay. medical is an ambassador for stop red and I'm a social work student which involves uh the work I want to do involves helping people doing drugs and things so those people doing abusing drugs and those sometimes you be like oh my head is itching me so I want to take in jibidor like at least sometimes supposed to seek an advice from a health practitioner before you you do something so I feel you shouldn't abuse drugs and be be safe out there cuz working with people involved in drugs is very difficult It's very difficult to stop drag abuse. So I feel you shouldn't involve yourself in those drag abuse.
You should just do your thing whether people sometimes people tweet and they like people don't engage in things. Just do your thing. Maybe the right time will come. So yeah, that's what I have to say.
>> We are aware that medical has teased.
I'm guessing it's an EP that is coming out. I'm guessing it should be during this year. As president of the BY families, can you give us like an insight? Something that we've not heard, something that we see or can you give us some insight into what has come?
>> Yeah, spaceship is it was dedicated to his newly born son and it will definitely win a lot of awards. We won four. So we are targeting 6 7 8 9 10.
Yeah. So spaceship is actually like six to like five tracks which almost you know medical doesn't just drop random tracks. So all or or all all will be hit song if all will be all is hit song.
Yeah. So fun. So just anticipate we just if anything we just drop it on my page or check out medical house Apple music Spotify audio back even if it's an illegal streaming this one. Check it out. We beg. I am Acio and I was inside the green chair. I would like to see paradise inside the green.
