Kumawood actor Abraham Davis, popularly known as Salinko, has shared insights into how his acting career has paved the way for remarkable achievements, including acquiring three plots of land.

Speaking in an interview with Accra FM, Salinko reflected on his success and emphasized the transformative impact of his work in the movie industry.

“Shooting movies has been very profitable for me,” he revealed.

“The films I’ve been part of have not only earned me a good income but also created opportunities to influence and promote brands. I’m still an ambassador for several companies, and some even feature me on their billboards, which has been a great boost.”

Salinko also expressed profound gratitude for his accomplishments, attributing them to hard work and divine favor.

“Life is not a competition. Watching others can inspire you to achieve more.

All the lands I’ve purchased are quite valuable. I started investing in property in Kumasi around 2014 or 2015. Although I didn’t start early, God has been faithful,” – he said.

The actor also acknowledged UTV’s significant role in elevating his career.

“UTV helped push my brand to new heights, especially through the series I aired on their platform.

That exposure allowed me to accomplish many things, including traveling, purchasing cars, and living comfortably,” he explained.

The deputy communication officer for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Malik Basintale, disclosed that two government appointees trying to leave Ghana were prevented.

With the NDC winning the 2024 Elections, some Ghanaians want the new government to investigate and prosecute Nana Addo’s government officials who have been engaged in corrupt practices.

Earlier, a former member of the NPP Hopeson Adorye, in a post on social media revealed he was hijacking the airport to prevent any current government official from leaving the country.

According to him, he wants them to remain in the country for the swearing-in of the next government so he can expose the evil things, which include stealing government money while in office.

In a separate post on social media, Malik Basintale has also reiterated that current government officials have no way out of the country unless they fly on the back of an eagle because those people would have to account for the people of Ghana.

His post reads: “Unless they escape on eagle backs, there is no room for them again around any border. Stay calm…We’ve caught 2 already????”
