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.

Public Masturbation Has Been Declared Legal In Sweden

On June 6, 2013 a 65-year-old man took off his shorts at a beach near Stockholm and began masturbating into the ocean. According to Swedish newsite, The Local ; the man was charged with sexual assault, but was acquitted last week after a judge ruled that he was not targeting a specific person. The prosecutor even implied that it was “okay” to play with yourself in public! Public Prosecutor, Olof Vrethammar said: “For this to be a criminal offence it’s required that the sexual molestation was directed towards one or more people. I think the court’s judgement is reasonable. With that we can conclude that it is okay to masturbate on the beach.” Vrethammar however agreed that in the future, public masturbation might be considered disorderly conduct. The ruling in this case comes just three months after Sweden’s last major sex scandal. Okay, I just had to chip this one in… The Swedish police in Stockholm also announced that same June, 2013 that a man who RAPES
