The 14th edition of the annual Foklex Media Awards, held at the National Theatre, recognised outstanding contributions to Ghana’s media and entertainment industry.
Among the esteemed winners was Benjamin Oduro Arhin Jnr, aka Bnoskka, who took home the coveted National Entertainment Pundit of the Year award for 2024/2025.
Bnoskka’s journey to becoming a renowned champion of intellectual property education was paved with determination, resilience, and passion.
As a Creative Arts Business and Intellectual Property Consultant, Lecturer at the University of Education, Winneba, and founder & CEO of IPMAGHANA, an organisation advancing IP awareness in Ghana and beyond, Bnoskka has been tireless in his efforts to spread awareness about the importance of protecting creative works.
Despite starting from scratch, Bnoskka remained committed to his mission, spending countless sleepless nights preparing engaging content and often funding his advocacy efforts himself.
The road to recognition wasn’t easy, with skepticism and resistance from some quarters. However, Bnoskka persevered, driven by his conviction that intellectual property education was crucial for Ghana’s creative industry.
His hard work began to pay off when he received his first nomination for the 2022/2023 Foklex Media Awards.
Two years later, his efforts culminated in a well-deserved win at the 14th Foklex Media Awards.
As Bnoskka accepted his award, he reflected on the journey that brought him to this moment, acknowledging the sacrifices, late nights, and financial strain, but most of all, thanking God for the grace to persevere.
His win at the Foklex Media Awards is not just a personal triumph but a testament to the power of passion and hard work in making a difference. As he continues to champion the cause of intellectual property education, Bnoskka’s legacy is set to inspire future generations of creatives and advocates alike.
