Ohenemedia launches partnership with Google


Accra based production house OheneMedia (OM), has officially launched its partnership with Google. The Google, YouTube –OheneMedia partnership which started last year allows OM to upload and monetize Ghanaian content on YouTube.

Explaining how the process works, CEO of OM Abraham Ohene Djan, said last year, Google, owners of YouTube through meetings arranged by Kofi Tsikata of the World Bank Ghana office, gave OM a platform to monetize Ghanaian content on YouTube.

“After several months of meetings, Google gave us an opportunity to have adverts placed on our online version of Fiesta called FiestaGh. At the same time they also gave us a platform to create channels for content makers who want to have adverts placed on their channel with our Adsence account.

“And so over the past few months, with a system in place to track individual view on each video and its revenue through online advertising, our platform started generating revenue for all parties involved that is; Google, Ohenemedia (Fiesta GH) and the Content owners”

He said “Contrary to popular belief, (OM) has not been given a pot of money by Google to share to content owners. Just like our TV channel it is an opportunity for us to generate advertising income with the content artistes bring to us in order to support our business and our course of promoting and supporting local music financially no matter how small.”

As part of promoting Ghanaian music on YouTube, a 30 minutes Video Chart Show (VCS) would also be rolled out.

The VCS which would be aired on selected TV stations across the country is also to encourage music lovers to visit YouTube.

Mr. Kofi Tsikata, a Senior Communication Specialist at the World Bank Ghana Office, commended OM for promoting and supporting the music industry over the years and advised musicians and content owners to play their part in ensuring that the payment process is transparent.

Present at the launch were Daddy Bosco, Gospel musician OJ, Lady Prempeh, Okyeame Kwame, Gyedu Blay Ambolley, Ben Brako, Tina Asante, Ohemaa Mercy, Obuor, Original Afia Schwarzenegger, Tic Tac, Black Prophet, upcoming artiste Chupa and several other players in the entertainment industry.

SPECIAL EDITION: PRAY OVER YOUR MARRIAGE and another love story

Dear readers,  Words are powerful. I have learnt to let most of the things I say be positive and contain a prayer. Praying God's word over your marriage is important.  Marriage is a blessing from God, but it is not always cherished the way it should be; Maybe because life gets busy, or we get distracted; Maybe because we start to take one another for granted; Or we disagree and let resentments hang on longer than they should. Hm! I was taught recently that the baggages we bring along from our past, into our marriages are a great burden as well. We take these baggages for granted but believe you me, most old baggages, are the cause of most broken marriages.  Some baggages are in the form of old girlfriends and boyfriends who are witches and wizards, or left some kind of spiritual bonding with your spouse. Some are in the form of just clingy exes. Some baggages may even just be low self esteem or extreme high expectations. When joined as ''one'', a new battle to...

THE NAKED MARRIAGE

Welcome dear Readers, You must be thinking that I want to talk about sex today. But hey, we will be talking about that plus a lot more. True intimacy requires what happens in the bedroom plus a lot more. In the beginning, God created Adam and Eve, the first couple. They lived in an ideal world; no debt, no no crazy in laws, no baggage, no stress, no fighting and and also, NO CLOTHING! (Gen 2:25) When God reveals unto us a naked marriage, He is revealing to us something more than just walking around the house with no clothes on or just sex. He is revealing the importance of TRANSPARENCY, VULNERABILITY,ACCEPTANCE and INTIMACY at every level of the relationship. I am suggesting we become more intentional about working on our relationships this way. Love is honest. Love is trust. You open yourself to temptations when you decide not to live in a naked marriage. These temptations have led many down the path of doom. My husband used to believe trust in a marriage is a sacrifice.
