Our society is full of heroes and influential people therefore it comes as no surprise if they ’ re recognized for their contributions and efforts towards development in our society . Awards / Rewards have always being part of human civilization . They take varied forms – titles , plaques , promotions just to name a few . In Ghana there are several award schemes that honour and recognize contributions of personalities in their various fields or industries . Ghana Music Awards , RTP Awards , 4Styte MVA , 40 Under 40 Awards , 3 Music Awards and more are organized annually throughout our calendar year . Such is the case of the Global Blueprint Excellence Awards organized by event organizer Dr . Kwame Fordjour at the Alisa Hotels .
Dr . Kwame
Fordjour has come under media scrutiny amidst his new found celebrity status ; over the discovery of his award scheme not being affiliated to the United Nations and the Kofi Annan Foundation as alleged by the organizer of the event . This puts the organizer in what may be called perilous situation as far as public sentiments are concerned considering the personalities awarded and recognized at this year ’ s edition of the event . Ever since the news broke out and subsequently a PR by the United Nations distancing itself from the brouhaha , the public has been divided on the issue . Many are hailing the ingenuity of Dr . UN whereas others are calling for his head on the grounds of fraud . With some claiming Dr . UN suffers from a mental illness typically bipolar . But he is really bipolar or suffers from any form of mental condition ? How did a man of his status and supposed mental condition pull off such an event ? Does this assertion seek to imply that organization of award schemes are a reserve for mentally insane persons ? Certainly not ! Why then is then is he being labeled as such ? Perhaps that ’ s the only logical conclusion by the public considering the persons present and awarded at the event .
