A Radio Presenter with Spice FM in Takoradi who also doubles as Master of Ceremony (MC), Yoofi Eyeson is advocating for better treatment for Masters of Ceremonies in Western Region.
The Radio Presenter who has hosted over 50 ceremonies mentioned to The Chronicle that; “it is difficult to even have this conversation with colleague MCs in other part of Ghana, especially Accra. When you have the conservation with them and they mention how much they charge for hosting an event, you are just embarrassed, knowing how much you are paid in this part of the country.”
“It is even embarrassing to mention how much most MCs are paid in Sekondi-Takoradi. They are not paid their worth, because most of the organisers have not seen their value yet” Mr. Eyeson added.
“Whether your event will be memorable or not is solely dependent on the MC who will host your event. Most events that are listed as memorable are as a result of the type of MCs they had. It is only fair to treat the MCs well to have the best out of your event.”
“Most people in Sekondi-Takoradi are yet to understand this well because when you are booked for an event and you mention how much you will charge, they receive it with shock, asking a lot of questions as to why this amount of money should be paid to an MC” Yoofi Eyeson added.
The Drive Time Host says he is currently on a campaign for better treatment of MCs in the Metropolis because, “if we leave it the way it is and do not advocate for better treatment of MCs, the younger generation will suffer this same predicament. I am, therefore, pushing for better remuneration for MCs so that those after us will have a better treatment.”
