At the award ceremony Majid Michel asked all African movie makers to pray for the Mayor for deciding to invest in the African film Industry, by supporting the GPACT Awards and the Ivory Coast film industry.
“Most of you might not know what is going on here now, but within a few years you will understand that the mayor has really chosen one of the biggest fields to invest in. Don’t forget one of the reasons America has reached where it is today is because of their films. So, for any prominent person to decide to invest in the film industry, it means we all have to pray for him to do better.”
The director of the Awards (GPACT) Coulibaly Adama and his assistant Yaya Fofana said they knew Majid would be surprised that he was being celebrated and honored in Ivory Coast because they are a French speaking country but that tells how prevailing movie making is.
“Majid is very popular in Ivory Coast though it is a French speaking country and you can all tell that anytime we step out with him, how everyone in the country hurries to see him and how our police men have to guard him in the multitudes. It tells he’s not only serving his country Ghana but Africa at large, so he deserves the great honor in Ivory Coast,”
Congrats to him!
