The recent departure of Captain Smart from Onua TV has sent shockwaves through the media landscape. While some lament his exit, many can hardly conceal their relief.
For far too long, Captain Smart’s antics have dominated headlines, often for all the wrong reasons.
During his time at Onua TV, Captain Smart embodied the perfect definition of a FOOL: Focused on controversy, Offending some with his views, sparking Outrage with strong reactions, and Limiting constructive dialogue.
The FOOL certainly lived in his own world and left unchecked. His behavior was frequently characterised by sensationalism, dramatically targeting attention-grabbing headlines over factual reporting, and leaving many to question the integrity of the media outlet—Onua TV.
Frankly speaking, Captain Smart’s exit marks a significant shift in the Ghanaian media landscape. His departure serves as a reminder that media personalities must balance free speech with responsibility, ensuring their words contribute to meaningful discussions rather than divisive rhetoric.
As the media landscape continues to evolve, it is critical for media houses to prioritise fact-based reporting and hold themselves to high standards.
This is a better time for Onua TV to reassess its editorial direction and prioritise quality journalism over sensationalism moving forward.
Captain Smart’s exit is definitely a big loss for Onua TV, however, it is a gain for those who value responsible journalism and media practices.
