Popular TV presenter Amanda Jissih on Wednesday,
25 February 2015 gave a lecture at the Abbeam
University also known as Abbeam Institute of
Technology.
The old girl of Mfantsiman Girls' Secondary School
in her talk gave account of her journey through the
showbiz industry as a former radio presenter and
currently a TV presenter, actress and musician.
Amanda Jissih sharing her success story with
students of the school said it was not achieved on a
silver platter. She added that some of her colleague
public figures went through hell but "with
determination and hard work, we see them today
as persons who have never suffered in life".
The former Hitz FM drive time host revealed that
some celebrities live a certain lifestyle just to
please the public but not according to what they
earn. According to her, Ghanaians see a public
figure as a rich person who needs to live an
extraordinary life.
“People ask for loans and if you don’t get it for
them, they become your enemies because every
day they see you change clothes and they think it
is always well.

It is only well because we are hoping that it will be
well by God’s grace but not because we have fat
amount of money somewhere.
“I wake up in the morning, walk out and wash my
car. The fame is big but how much do you earn for
you to hire a house help, you just have to do
everything yourself. You even end up blessing
yourself when you do all these things.”
She named Nana Ama Mcbrown and other
celebrities as public figures who are rich but are
down to earth. She told the students that “there are
lots of celebrities who are doing that, don’t let the
fame eat into your mind so much, it will destroy
you.”
“I’m not telling you lies, fame is good but it can
destroy you.”
Abbeam Institute of Technology located in Kasoa is
a not-for-profit organisation, a Ghanaian private
higher institution of learning established in 2010 by
the Chancellor Prof. Abbeam Ampomah Danso to
transform society and Ghana at large.
