Louis Sakyiamah also known in the radio and entertainment industry as Lexis Bill was nominated for the Radio Morning Show Host of the Year at the Radio and Television Personality Awards (RTP) alongside Suhuyini Alhasan of Radio Gold, Kwame Sefa Kayi of Peace FM, Adakabre Frimpong Manso of Adom FM, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah of Joy FM, Kwame Adinkra of Angel FM and Captain Smart of Fox FM, which the latter won.This is what the host of Daybreak Hitz had to say...
LQM - How did you feel when you were nominated?
LB - To be shortlisted in the category of Best Morning Show
Host is really good, or if you were nominated to be the best Morning Show Host,
of course it is something good and shows your quality, so yeah, it is good.
LQM - How did you feel also when the verdict came out?
LB – I still feel good honestly because all those I was
competing with have been doing this for a long time, some for over 10years,
others for 7years and are equally worth the award and of course it only goes
for one person so for me, hey, I’m alright about it its cool... I’m good about
it.
LQM– Do you have any complains or reservations about the
awards, concerning who wins and who doesn’t?
LB – No, I don’t, I’m not the organizer. If you organize this
then of course you have certain objectives you want to achieve or meet. So if
an organizer decides to put an award’s (show) together and wants to achieve
something, I sitting on the fence can’t say I have any complains. A lot people do
say that sometimes it’s not objective and all of that but even objectivity is
subjective. So at the end of the day, it is the organizers, and you can’t
always expect a hundred percent credible something. You know, its not easy to organize an awards show, you can't please everybody, we should rather congratulate the organizer for being able to put this together, so for me, I'm OK with it.
LQM– Don’t you feel it’s high time you were recognized for
what you do?
LB - I’m not in radio to win an award, I'm in radio to affect
people’s lives; I'm on radio to learn for myself, to add something extra, I'm doing this for me, I don’t know anybody who says they are working because they
want an award, no, I know of people who are working because of us... For me, that’s
it.
LQM– Did your nomination and subsequent inability to win put any pressure
on you?
LB– Being nominated for me was more of a caution that people
are appreciating what you are doing so it’s time to give back. And since it’s a
competition as well and your colleagues are gaining a lot of listenership, you also have to do more stuff to gain more listenership too, so yeah it’s a
competition.
LQM– Where does Lexis Bill see himself in five years??
LB – In five years, I believe I would be a household name in Ghana Showbiz.
LQM – Thank you very much Lexis Bill.
