Actor Prince Kwame Amoabeng, better known by his stage name Jeneral Ntatia, hails from Ghana and has called on the people to remain unwavering in their efforts to make politicians take notice.
Jeneral, who ran for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the last elections, stated on Joy FM’s Showbiz A-Z that he is unafraid to tell the truth to power despite the backlash he has received for criticizing the party for not fulfilling some of its pledges.
“Sometimes I bash them and they ask why I do that. But I feel that we should get to a point in Ghana when we should stop allowing politicians to take us for granted. We should stop that thing about I belong to NDC or NPP so when it is even bad, we should be there. We should speak up.
I learnt something recently on social media about the youth. I am bashing the NPP and they will say because I campaigned for them to assume power, I should keep quiet for us to suffer. It is even better to support and bash at the same time when it is not going when than you support and keep quiet when it is not going on,” he said.

When asked if he would be supporting the NPP once more, he replied that he would need to take some time to review their manifestos.
Ntatia, a graduate of the University of Ghana’s School of Performing Arts, has established himself as one of the nation’s best comedic actors.
In addition, he has been in several movies, such as “Mad House,” “Keteke,” “Kalybos in China,” and “Chaskele.”
He’s introduced stand-up comedy recently, something he had previously shied away from.
Theatregoers who have seen “Second Coming of Nkrumah,” “The Leopards Choice,” “Adam in Court,” “Red Light,” “Man in the Dark,” “The Trial,” “Accra We Dey,” “In the Chest of a Woman,” “The Ladder,” and “Flows for Sale” will never forget him.
