Omoni Oboli is furious about her movie Twin Deception being broadcast without permission by Ghanaian television stations. She has threatened to report the matter to the president of Ghana.
Omoni Oboli stated that the film was aired on terrestrial TV stations in Ghana on the same day it premiered on her YouTube channel, which she described as a violation of copyright laws and theft.
Although Omoni Oboli had been trying to address the issue privately with local authorities, the lack of respect for intellectual property rights has led her to speak out publicly.
Despite her strong words, she expressed her love for Ghanaians, calling them “family,” and urged for a resolution based on mutual respect and legal principles.
She wrote on Instagram: “I love my Ghanaian besties. I really do. Ghanaians are our cousins, and cousins don’t fight. We banter, but at the end of the day, it’s all love. You see this issue of Terrestrial Ghanaian TV stations showing out movies, it’s utterly shameful. My movie TWIN DECEPTION, released on my YouTube channel on Friday, was shown by TV stations the same Friday! I’m going straight to the Ghanaian President this time. Cos, this is now a disgrace!
“Yesterday was my birthday, and I was having a chilled day at home, so I didn’t want to address this. The truth is, I have been working behind the scenes with some Ghanaian agencies to end this menace once and for all, but now it’s quite obvious that some people don’t even understand that it’s actual theft
“You are not promoting my film if you rip it off my YouTube channel (without licensing and permission) and show it on your TV station. You are stealing from me for your own personal gain.
“Do you get it now? There’s no world in which that is a good thing. It’s actually punishable by law. So since it’s gotten to this stage, I believe Mr President @officialjdmahama, sir, with all due respect, sir, it’s time to weigh in. This has become an international embarrassment. PS: I love my Ghanaian family, and I know you love me too. Let’s keep the love flowing”.
