If you think ambassadorial deals in Ghana are lucrative, then Mikki Osei Berko has something else to say.
The popular Ghanaian actor, also known as Dada Boat, revealed in a recent interview that ambassadorial deals in the country are not as lucrative as many people think.
When compared to developed countries, Mikki said the payment for such deals in Ghana is not enough.
“I can speak for myself, and I think it’s not as lucrative as many expect. If I were doing what I am doing here in another part of the world, I’m sure I’d be flying in a private jet. But here in Ghana, if you’re not careful, you could end up using public transport,” he told Ghanaweb’s Elsie Lamar.
Mikki Osei Berko asserted that the challenge stems from Ghanaians not appreciating and valuing the importance of ambassadorial roles.

“I believe it will get better. Some of the brands I’ve worked with are doing better than others, but you take what you can, and I call it survival because one day it will get better.
“Some people think what we do is a part-time job, but for me, it’s a full- time commitment. Some even invite you to work on radio or TV commercials, and when you hear how much they’re willing to pay, it’s shocking,” he disclosed.
The renowned actor also shared his experience with some brands who intended to pay him with only food and drinks after they invited him to serve as an MC at their events.
“Sometimes, because of the need to survive, you take on commitments not because of the financial; return but just to get by. It’s unfortunate that people don’t always value what we do as they should,” Mikki bemoaned.
