In a rather bold and unapologetic fashion, renowned Tamale radio presenter Afa Staph has finally addressed the elephant in the room: his frequent job switches between radio stations. In a sharp and slightly sarcastic Facebook post, the presenter made it clear that his reasons go beyond just “loyalty” to any particular station.
“Somebody inboxed me asking what I’ve gained from changing media houses so often,” he wrote, before dropping a truth bomb that has sparked conversations across the industry. His unapologetic response? “I’ve been able to pay my children’s school fees without knocking on any MP’s or ‘big man’s’ door for help.” Ouch!
While some fans see this as an honest hustle, others can’t help but raise their eyebrows. Is Afa Staph putting family first, or is he dodging the hard truth about commitment in the media industry? His critics have often labeled him as “restless,” but Afa Staph sees it differently – in fact, he’s downright proud of his moves.
With two children in private schools costing him GH₵1,300 per child, Afa Staph clearly isn’t playing around when it comes to securing that paycheck. He made it clear that if a radio station isn’t serving his financial goals, he’ll be out the door without hesitation.
Afa Staph fired back at his critics. The response hit hard enough that the fan who initially asked him was quick to block him.
Is this a case of a responsible father, or is there more to the story? Afa Staph’s comments raise serious questions about the state of the media industry in Tamale. Is fair compensation really that elusive, or are there other reasons behind the switches?
As the conversation continues, one thing is certain: Afa Staph isn’t holding back. And love him or hate him, his story sheds light on the real hustle behind the radio waves. But is his relentless pursuit of financial security admirable, or just a convenient excuse for station-hopping? The debate is on.
