The more Ghanaians vote, the more money these rewards earn, so they are never willing to spend enough to earn credible rewards.

Yesterday evening, the second edition of the 3music awards took place at the Accra Fantasy Dome and, after the event, the usual hubbub for almost all the rewards programs in Ghana, whether "good" or worthy winners, is in progress.

The problem with the 3music awards and the winners is that they have left as many voices to the general public as they vote by fanaticism. I've always said that any voting process that allows a person to vote more than once is flawed and inappropriate.

As long as the organizers of the prize are not ready to put in place a credible voting system, these kind of dubious winners will always have the language in motion.

The voting system does not show now that an artist is popular, but sometimes, those who win get less of their fans who vote more.

How to cure him

There is population census data that has been scientifically proven; use them to spread the vote across Ghana by administrative districts. So, if the Kumasi population represents 13% of Ghana, gather 13% of the 5,000 ordinary Ghanaians to vote for Kumasi.

This will be at least statistically credible and representative of the country. Also, you can easily measure the popularity of awards by radio. So, go to each radio, say Bee FM, let the DJs and presenters vote individually, the artist with the highest vote gets the B FM vote of 1

There are about 400 radio stations in Ghana, so you would have solved the problem of the popularity of the radio and that will represent the whole country. Then, the academy chooses its knowledge and expertise of the field and online music.

In addition, categories such as fan army can be left to the public vote only because it is to test the strength of the fans of a particular artist. However, some technical categories such as singer, video and rapper should only be voted by technicians about 100 years old.

God continues to bless our homeland Ghana and make our nation great and strong
