Ghanaian Artistes Missing From Bet Awards Nominees List For 2018

Some Ghanaians have started raising concerns about the state of the music industry today just for the fact that no Ghanaian artistes made it in the just released list of nominees for the category of Best International Act of the BET (Black Entertainment Television) Awards.

But should such nominations from award schemes like the BET Awards be a measuring tape for the progression of our music industry? This topic would be for another time.

On May 15, Organisers of the Bet Awards, 2018 announced the nominees for each category of the award scheme.

Among the top nominees were DJ Khalid who topped with six nominations, Migos and SZA with four nominations with others like Kendrick Lamar, Drake, Bruno Mars, Cardi B and others who are also up for key awards.

In 2012 and 2015, Sarkodie and Stonebouy took home the award respectively by beating other top artistes who were nominated in the category.

The show is slated for 24th June, 2018 in Los Angeles.

Twitter Users Have Higher IQs Than Facebook Users

There's no doubt that the two biggest social media platforms that rule the Internet today are Facebook and Twitter but has it ever occur to you that your preference for one over the other describes your level of IQ?

Well, a study in Australia has revealed that Twitter users could well be the smartest of them all.

Psychometric testing company Onetest surveyed 2,851 graduates from around Australia, exploring the outcomes (life satisfaction, salary and career progression) of people who had entered the workforce between 2002 and 2011, before cross-referencing this data against their social network of choice.

And the results? While only four percent listed Twitter as their preferred social tool, these respondents had the "highest cognitive abilities" of users across all the main social channels.

The survey revealed that Facebook was the most preferred social platform, followed by LinkedIn, but that there was no statistically significant difference between the average cognitive abilities of users other than those who favoured Twitter.

"Because social media is such a huge part of people's identities and lives, we added questions about their social media preference and usage",  said Cherie Curtis, Onetest's head of Psychology.

"We found that, while LinkedIn is often thought to be the tool of professionals, those who preferred Twitter were also those with the highest cognitive abilities".

"To really engage with Twitter requires lateral thinking and attention. It’s an ever-changing information sharing platform and does require a greater degree of attention, concentration and the ability to retain, organise and apply information and to drill down a complex thought into 140 characters or fewer requires problem solving skills and clarity of thought ", she said.


Maybe we just choose what social media we want to use because we just feel like it, not because we are dumb or super intelligent. But the debate still remains, are Twitter users more smarter than Facebook users? You be the judge.
