Van Vicker Speaks Out: Safety Concerns in Ghana's Film Industry

Actor Van Vicker has reacted to a recent incident involving Zubby Michael and another actor on set, expressing his concerns about safety protocols in the film industry.

Van Vicker emphasized the importance of rehearsals for scenes with potential contact or actual contact between actors, especially in Ghana's film setting where there is no insurance, no body doubles, and no stunt actors. He believes that rehearsals can help prevent accidents and ensure the safety of actors....

The actor highlighted the risks involved in acting in action scenes or violent scenes, where real props are often used. He stressed that great acting is not just about delivering a performance, but also about knowing what to expect and taking necessary safety precautions....

Van Vicker argued that the well-being of actors is crucial to the growth and development of the film industry. He called on industry players, the media, and film lovers to take this incident seriously and push for measures to be put in place to prevent similar accidents in the future....

The actor's message is clear: safety should be a top priority in the film industry. He believes that with proper rehearsals, safety protocols, and measures in place, actors can perform their jobs without risking their lives....

Van Vicker's statement concludes with a message of support for African films and actors, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing safety and well-being in the industry. He hopes that this incident will serve as a wake-up call for the industry to take necessary measures to protect its actors... What are your thoughts on this?

*TODAY IN HISTORY*

* On this day in 1967, the Republic of Biafra was proclaimed. The short-lived state consisted of Nigeria’s Eastern Region. Its secession sparked the Nigerian Civil War, which lasted until 1970 and resulted in the region’s re-integration into Nigeria.

* On this day in 2011, Germany abandoned nuclear energy. The government’s decision followed the nuclear meltdown at Japan’s Fukushima power plant and years of hands-on protests and activism by Germany powerful anti-nuclear movement.

Here's an Article from an electrical engineer who's work I really admire. I encourage you to read it and follow him for more content if you have interest in electrical things..

Choosing the right cable for your #construction project isn’t just technical, it’s essential for safety and #performance.

Whether it’s for lighting, power circuits, or HVAC systems, the right selection makes all the difference.

Before installing, check and Calculate

- Load current

- Voltage drop (keep under 3–5%)

- Cable length (longer runs need adjustments)

- Ambient temperature

- Installation method (buried, in conduit, or on tray?)

- Short circuit capacity (can it handle faults?)

- Type of load (lighting, motors, HVAC, elevators)

- Applicable standards (NEC, IEC, BS 7671, or local codes)

- Cable Material (Copper = performance, Aluminum = cost savings)

Governor Eno Commissions 14.8km Ikot Ubo-Odot Road.

…upbeat on connecting Akwa Ibom with Abuja

Governor Umo Eno has reaffirmed his determination to link all parts of Akwa Ibom State to the capital, just as he is taking decisions that will effectively link the State to Abuja.

The Governor who assured of maximum service to the entire people of the State, maintained that irrespective of the location of the political pendulum, “we remain who we are, and we will continue to pursue the ARISE Agenda in the interest of a United Akwa Ibom.

“It is in that unity that we find progress and that is what we will continue to do.”

Governor Eno narrated his ordeal on the reconstructed road while he resided in Eket, and maintained that it used to be difficult for him to get to the airport.

“He said his administration relied on a contractor with a good track record because of the importance of the road.

“We had to reconstruct this road, there were places you had to go in as if you are going into the valley of the shadow of death.

“We thank God for this road and we thank Setraco. When we are looking for reliable contractors, we will not forget you.”

“We thank Setraco for the good work they have done and for finishing the job within the one year timeline they were given”

The Governor acknowledged few spurs off the road that have been brought to his notice and promised to give attention to those new concerns.

He used the occasion to assure of his cordial relationship with the media, maintaining that the recent uproar over the reposting of some correspondents at Government House, was merely a routine occurrence in any establishment.

“I do not have any problem with the media. It is within the purview of the Chief Press Secretary to request for change of correspondents within the Government House.

“If you have served in a post for up to 10 years, and the Chief Press Secretary decides to request for a replacement, that is not a fight, it is within the prerogative of his office.

“The Governor does not have to know. This afternoon, Channels is here and they are beaming us live. Does it look like we have problem with them?”

The Governor said he will continue to work with all media houses, and announced that he will soon flag off the commencement of construction of an ultra- modern House for the Akwa Ibom Broadcasting Corporation in Uyo.

“My job is a very serious one, ensuring there is development, my job is to make sure there is welfare, my job is to make sure there is security. My job does not include checking which correspondent is being transferred from one location to another.

In a landmark event that reinforces his administration’s commitment to infrastructure renewal under the ARISE Agenda, Governor Umo Eno on Monday commissioned the newly-rehabilitated 14.28-kilometre Ikot Ubo-Odot Road, a critical link between Nsit Ubium and Nsit Atai Local Government Areas.

Speaking earlier on behalf of both LGAs, the Chairman of Nsit Ubium, Mr. Alfred Charles described the Governor as “the pride of Nsit Ubium and the son of the land of fulfillment.”

“This is the shortest route to the airport and had been due for rehabilitation for decades. We thank the Governor for fulfilling this long-standing need, and we pledge the unwavering support of our people until the very end of his tenure,” he declared.

Commissioner for Works and Fire Service, Prof. Eno Ibanga, provided technical insights into the project.

He explained that what has been delivered is not merely a resurfacing but a full-scale rehabilitation.

“This road had totally collapsed. We replaced both the base course and sub-base, introduced two culverts and 7.1 kilometers of drainage to manage runoff water.

It features a two-layer design—binder and wearing courses—guaranteeing durability for up to 30 years.

It was one of the first projects awarded in February 2024, with mobilization commencing in May 2024,” Prof Ibanga stated.

He commended Setraco Nigeria Ltd., the project contractor, for delivering the road to specification and praised the Governor for the foresight that birthed the initiative.

The event drew goodwill messages from a cross-section of political and community leaders. Chairmen of both the APC and PDP in Nsit Atai and Nsit Ubium, including Richard Thompson, lauded the administration for transforming access and mobility across the region.

Members representing Nsit Ubium and Nsit Atai in the Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly, Barr. Otobong Bob and Prince Attah, described the Governor as “the captain of Team Akwa United,” emphasizing the project’s far-reaching economic implications, even extending benefits to the Eket region.

Federal lawmaker for Uyo Federal Constituency, Rt. Hon. Mark Esset, praised the Governor as “the golden governor and man of the moment.”

“What we are witnessing is full-scale construction. Your second term is non-negotiable. We are proud to speak confidently about you in the Green Chambers.”

Elder statesman, Rt. Hon. Nduese Essien, acknowledged initial skepticism when the road was first mentioned, admitting he considered it “political talk.”

However, he expressed surprise and delight at the quality and completion of the project, noting its strategic importance as the most direct route to the airport for his people in Eket and neighbouring local government areas.

Political leader of Uyo, Senator Effiong Bob, and other dignitaries also expressed gratitude for the Governor’s performance, reaffirming their support for his administration.

Commenting on the project, the Area Manager of Setraco, Mr Michel Issa expressed appreciation to the state government for the trust placed in his firm.

“This project is a testament to your inclusive governance and infrastructure vision. We are committed to maintaining the highest standards of delivery, and this road is no exception,” he said.

The commissioning ceremony marks another fulfilled promise under the Governor’s ARISE Agenda, underscoring his administration’s focus on people-centered development, connectivity, and economic growth.

WHY SINGERS SOMETIMES GO OFF-KEY

Singing off-key is an experience that nearly every vocalist has encountered at some point, whether during rehearsal, performance, or even while humming along to a song. While it can feel embarrassing or frustrating, it is essential to understand that going off-key is often a result of specific, correctable issues, not just a lack of talent.

Recognizing why this happens can help you grow as a more confident, consistent, and pitch-accurate singer. Below are some common causes and helpful insights:

---

TOP REASONS PEOPLE SING OFF-KEY:

1. POOR PITCH AWARENESS
Some singers haven’t yet developed the ability to recognize and match pitches. Without this “ear training,” it’s easy to stray off-key.

2. WEAK BREATH SUPPORT
Proper breath control gives stability to your voice. Without it, holding pitch—especially on long or high notes—can become difficult.

3. SINGING OUTSIDE YOUR RANGE
Attempting notes that are too high or too low can cause you to go flat or sharp due to vocal strain.

4. LACK OF VOCAL WARM-UP
Jumping into a song without warming up can lead to stiffness and tension, which affects your pitch control.

5. NERVOUSNESS OR STAGE FRIGHT
When you're anxious, your muscles tighten, and your focus shifts. This tension can impact your ability to stay on pitch.

6. POOR SOUND MONITORING
If you can’t hear yourself clearly (especially on stage), it’s easy to drift off-key without realizing it.

7. NO INSTRUMENTAL REFERENCE
Singing a cappella without a reference note can be tricky if your tonal memory isn’t strong yet.

8. LIMITED EAR TRAINING
Singers who haven’t practiced identifying intervals and notes may struggle to hear when they’re off-pitch.

9. VOCAL FATIGUE OR STRAIN
A tired or overworked voice loses control. Pitch suffers when the vocal cords aren’t functioning at their best.

10. BAD TECHNIQUE
Posture, mouth shape, tension, and breath placement all affect pitch. Poor technique often leads to pitch instability.

---

In Summary:

Singing off-key is not the end of the world — it’s a signal that something needs attention, not a sign that you can’t sing. With proper training, consistent practice, and a willingness to listen and adjust, any singer can improve their pitch accuracy.

Your pitch can be trained. Your ear can be sharpened. And your confidence can grow. Don’t fear being off-key — learn from it, and keep singing.

On my next post, I'll be presenting useful tips on how one can prevent singing off-key. Stay tuned
