Afronita and Abigail post BGT saga: the case of choosing 100% of zero over 40% of 100

Less than a month ago, Afronita and Abigail won global acclaim by coming third in the coveted Britain’s Got Talent Show.
This is, to an extent, the biggest achievement of anyone in the Ghanaian entertainment sphere this entire year.
It was beautiful, refreshing, and encouraging to the many young people forced to bury their talents because of how society views certain careers.
The story of Afronita and Abigail was as instrumental as their dancing talent in propelling them to this level of acceptance.
Abigail, a kid with a hearing disability, is presented as a talent spotted by Afronita and adopted for a dancing career journey.
From details emerging, that could be far from the truth, but this is the story that won the hearts of people.
A disabled kid with talent and a seeming elder sister committing to riding with her to the apex of dancing. It’s beautiful; these are the stories the world needs to hear, and where else to share it than on Simon Cowell’s Britain’s Got Talent?
The synergy in their dance, the affection they shared, and the overall bond made them an instant object of love that little attention went into their dancing creativity.
It was so much that even the judges got carried away.
If we can be honest, they are great dancers, they have the potential to be top, top, top, but on the show, they were not like anything never seen.
They walked with the favor earned from their story, and that should have been the main tool for their career journey.
From their recent back-and-forth media run-ins and separation, it has become evident as to why the two didn’t create more dancing moves; their moves were largely repetitive and rarely unique because there was so much politics behind the scene that it obviously affected their preparation.
Now, 3rd place bagged, the two have become national heroes. Instead of coming home to a rousing welcome, they are in London destroying everything built.
Third place in BGT gets nothing Saga; the benefit is in leveraging the fame and global attention. And what a time.
It is election year, politicians are auditioning for the people’s attention. This is the time.
When it’s about making money, dont worry about working with a rival, go for it.
Come to Ghana, embark on a media tour, visit the president, he is going to receive you, visit the candidates, they will be willing to support you.
Present a project, a Dancing School for the physically challenged, anything useful, and use it to raise funds.
It hurts when people can’t think, when they sniff opportunities.
Talents should be managed with expertise and professionalism, not emotions.
What we see are adults using their corrupt adult minds to destroy what kids have built due to excessive hunger for power and control.
Who should lead? who should should be the face,it doesn’t matter at this point. It should be about how to bury the differences and forge ahead because the gains of the toil are so close and cannot be achieved with a divided front.
At the end of the day, you go solo with 100% ownership of nothing.
That is not the way of the wise.
