Jah Blu, a popular musician, hairdresser and powerlifter born and bred in Chorkor has called for frequent entertainment and sporting events in the communities to unearth talents for the nation.

“I know Ghana has massive talent and skilful guys in entertainment and sports but they are not motivated enough, it is not too late to do something” Kareem said.
According to Jah Blu (Christopher Mawuko Onyah), a community like Chorkor has produced great men and women like former Black Stars captain Stephen Appiah and others as well as boxers like the late Bahubali not to forget the great Professor Azumah Nelson from Mamprobi, but no one inspires the up and coming ones.
