After sustaining a leg injury during the
friendly games held between the Ghana
Actors Guild (GAG) and their Nigerian
counterparts at Kumasi sports stadium
Ghanaian Actor, Van Vicker is very upset
with the Ghana Actors Guild for not
sending him any solidarity message.
He lamented:
‘I was first admitted at Sunshine
Hospital in Ghana and later transferred
to United states of America where I am
still receiving medical treatment but had
to come to Ghana to continue with my
movie shoot, and then go back for
check- up ‘. He said.
‘I believe one of the responsibilities of
the Actors guild is to support its
members, or support the interest of
Ghanaian actors, I am a member of
actor’s guild and that’s why I went to
play for the Guild and also to represent
Ghana in the name of the guild. I was
made aware that the tournament was
an independence match , which shows
that it is part of the state’s agenda for
the celebration of independence, so if
for nothing at all, the Guild should have
shown concern,’
He continued to vent , ‘I think it is a
sign of ingratitude, because it’s just like
going to work for a friend and getting
injured in the process and the friend
turns deaf ears to how you recovered or
recovering’.
Talking about the way forward for the
insurance of Ghanaian actors , Van said
that , what happened to him could have
happened to anyone, so he has a future
plan of securing insurance policies to
Ghanaian actors.
He revealed to Razz Newspaper reporter
(Mustapha Inusah)that he has already
started meeting different organizations
on that, so very soon , Ghanaian actors
will be informed on that.
Meanwhile in a separate chat with Mr
Samuel Nii Odoi Mensah , president of
(GAG), he says that Van Vicker’s
allegation is not true .
He said:
‘I personally called Van Vicker and I
also whatApp him to check up on him
because I was also sick that time and I
couldn’t play much active role in
frequently checking up on him, so
Actress Emelia Brobbey took over and
was doing that on our behalf’ he
responded’.
He added that ‘If Mr Van Vicker is
critiquing the Guild because we didn’t
support in payment of his bills, for that
I admit and all I can say about it is
that, our members don’t pay their dues
for us to be able to support any member
in cash, we would have supported him if
we have the cash’. Mr Samuel Nii Odoi
Mensah , president of (GAG), added.
