PRESS RELEASE: GHANAIAN YOUTH SUFFERING FROM “IDEAS THEFT”
My heart is so saddened and feel so disappointed by my fellow youth activist who all claim to have the youth and its development at heart. How do we expect to be agents of change and catalyst for development, when we can't stand together to resist any form of "IDEA THEFT" that is unleashed upon us as youth organizations and events. I must acknowledge and state on record that, this release has nothing to do with Stages Multimedia.
I Scofray Nana Yaw Yeboah without blowing my own trumpet is using media platforms and other speaking mediums to support any youth oriented event or program. I speak at events without money exchanging hands because I believe in such a cause.

I was made the media liaison when Stages Multimedia first launched Ghana Youth Awards which had Hon. Agyenim Boateng a then deputy minister, Mr. Roland Akambire of rlg, Mr. Mike Nyinaku of Beige Capital and others at Coconut groove Accra. Exactly a year later there was National youth Achievers Award with the blue print of the Ghana youth Awards held with support from NYA and other government agencies as well as other youth groups.( visit this link as the beige capital captured the Ghana youth awards launch on their site: http://www.beigecapital.com/details.cfm?prodcatID=14&tblNewsCatID=46&tblNewsID=26)
When our wounds are about healing here comes another act of IDEA THEFT which is also going to get the support of youth groups and their leaders who know the first story. NYA again is a culprit in this regard organizing PRESIDENTIAL YOUTH DIALOGUE which we all know took place during the election era 2012, I was the MC with Prof Miriam Ewurama Addy as the moderated, in attendance was then candidates Jacob Osei Yeboah, Hassan AYARIGA, Paa Kwesi Ndoum. Are my fellow youth saying they did not hear about it ?
Do we really think if the president hear about this true story he will support this idea theft move by NYA. If this agenda is genuine why is NYA struggling to call the Monday time with the president “ Ghana Youth Parliament or Presidential Youth Dialogue”. Was not the same NYA that lead for the formation of a said YOUTH PARLIAMENT? Was that a fiasco?
Some of us respect the president so much and believe in his pledge to the youth but this is a disgrace NYA is smearing on H.E. John Dramani Mahama
Today it is a fellow activist whose two ideas have been stolen so you don't feel the pain but it will be yours another day and you will understand my hurt. Without mincing words, the youth of today are very creative and productive but the system only steal our ideas and call us lazy. Many youth have suffered from these prang of IDEAS THEFT.
We suffered so much during the day of National Youths Stakeholders Forum at then NYC and today too. COYDOG must speak up and other Youth Coalition must rise up. The time is now.
If we the youth can't stand up and fight such practices and support each other’s worthy cause, I state we have no moral right to charge our leaders as the bane of our growth and development.. Ghanaian youth deserve better.
