MC Portfolio has described TGMAs as the best award scheme ahead of Headies and Trace Awards

Ghanaian MC and media personality MC Portfolio has praised the Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA), describing it as one of the best awards shows not only in Ghana but across the African continent.

According to him, the production quality, aesthetics, and coordination of the TGMAs are on par with, if not better than, many award schemes outside Ghana.

Speaking during a discussion hosted by GhanaWeb on X Space, MC Portfolio said he has witnessed other African award shows this year, including the Headies in Nigeria and the Trace Awards, and none impressed him as much as the TGMAs.

“I can confidently say that the TGMAs are on par with, or even surpass, the quality of other award schemes we revere outside Ghana,” he stated.

He went on to explain that while the overall TGMAs experience stands tall, other African award shows tend to focus more heavily on their red-carpet experiences. This, he believes, is one area where Ghana still has room for improvement.

“I’ve witnessed the Trace Awards this year, I’ve witnessed the Headies, and I can say they come nowhere close to the TGMAs in terms of aesthetics, production, and coordination. However, most of them salvage the overall event by investing heavily in their red carpet. They are very intentional about that aspect,” MC Portfolio said.

He further noted that while Ghana usually wins debates with Nigeria when it comes to food, especially jollof and sometimes even football, Nigeria clearly outshines Ghana when it comes to red-carpet glamour.

“That’s why we can win the jollof argument over Nigeria, and even the football argument sometimes, but when it comes to their red carpet, we still have some learning to do,” he added.
