In the world of entertainment, talent is abundant, but opportunities are scarce. Many gifted individuals struggle to find a platform to showcase their skills, often needing the right guidance and support to reach their full potential. In Ghana, one name stands out in the realm of talent discovery and mentorship—Dr Likee (also known as Akabenezer).
Since 2021, no one has done more to uplift and promote young talents in Ghana’s entertainment industry than Dr Likee. His selfless efforts in nurturing rising stars have transformed the lives of many, proving that human investment is one of the greatest contributions anyone can make to society.
Before Dr Likee extended his hand of support, many of today’s popular actors and comedians were relatively unknown. Talents like Kyekyeku, Ama Tundra, Sweet Pola, Late C-Confion, 39, 40, Aboske, and several others were struggling to make a name for themselves.
Recognizing their potential, Dr Likee took them under his wing, providing them with opportunities to act in skits, short films, and comedy videos. He did this without demanding a penny in return—his only goal was to see them succeed and become self-sufficient. Today, these individuals have carved out successful careers, making a living from their craft and supporting their families.
Dr Likee’s actions underscore an important life lesson: true success is not just about personal achievements but about how many lives you uplift along the way. Unlike many who hoard opportunities, he chose to share his platform, ensuring that others could shine.
His impact extends beyond entertainment. His generosity has inspired many to adopt the mindset of “lifting others as you rise.” Whether in business, education, or any field, the principle remains the same—help those around you grow, and society as a whole will benefit.
Dr Likee’s story is a reminder that investing in people is one of the most rewarding things anyone can do. When you help others develop their potential, you contribute to a stronger, more vibrant community.
To those who have found success in any aspect of life, the message is clear: pass it on. Support the next generation, mentor those who need guidance, and give opportunities to those with potential. You never know how your kindness today can transform lives tomorrow.
Dr Likee’s contributions to the Ghanaian entertainment industry deserve recognition and appreciation. His efforts have not only created stars but have also set an example of selflessness, leadership, and the importance of human investment.
As we celebrate his impact, let’s take a page from his book—help someone grow today, and watch how the world becomes a better place for all.
