Ghanaian songstress Wendy Shay, has bemoaned that Ghanaians are unable to stream music online due to the high cost of bandwidth.
Majority of Ghanaian artists, according to Wendy Shay, do not receive as many streams as their international counterparts do.
Wendy Shay revealed the high cost of data in Ghana is keeping Ghanaians from listening to music online as the reason for the low number of streams of artists works.
She said that her analysis revealed that most nations in Africa and around the globe have lower data costs than Ghana.
“I have realised that data is extremely expensive in Ghana. I have conducted research and realized that East African countries have less cost of data. When you go on their YouTube and other streaming sites you’d realize they have a lot of streams”.
“I think we should find the right way to address this problem as celebrities. We need to use our influence to tackle this problem because even foreigners complain about it a lot. That is why a lot of musicians in Ghana don’t have a large number of music streams in Ghana as compared to other African countries currently,” she told Accra Fm’s Nana Romeo.
