WIZZY WILL NIGHT CLUB OPENS IN WA (GRAPHIC SHOWBIZ, NOV 20, 2008)

By Chris Nunoo

Entertainment in Wa, the capital of the Upper West Region in particular and the entire region has been given a boost with the opening of the first ever regular night club in the municipality.
Known as the “Wizzy Vill” nite club, it operates on Fridays, where ladies were allowed free entry and on Saturdays in the evening. Disc Jockeys adding up to the excitement by way of providing the best of music to patrons are the “Music Ambassador”, DJ Tee Jay of Radio Upper West and DJ Bacteria from Sunyani.
The Chief Executive Officer of Wizzy Vill, Mr Justin Kamboke alias Wizzy, told Showbiz that the main target for the establishment of the club was not the students as it was being speculated.
He said, Wa, was fast growing and therefore there was the need for some form of regular entertainment to make the municipality attractive enough and lively for all.
Mr Kamboke himself, a graduate from the Wa campus of the University for Development Studies (UDS) shared his personal experiences and said “When we were on campus there were times one would want to release some tension but where do one go in Wa? He asked and pointed out that the boredom in Wa coupled with other unfriendly ways of doing things made the municipality unattractive to many people particularly students.
Mr Kamboke further said based upon that perception he liaised with the owner of Maxisco drinking spot at Mmangu, a Wa suburb, to build the nite club.
Mr Kamboke explained that even though it has started operating, there was still more room for improvement on the sound quality, the lighting system as well as create a VIP segment.
He added that there were plans to also expand the bar in the club saying, “Presently, Wa is the place to be”.
With this, Mr Kamboke said first time visitors to the region could at least have a place for relaxation once in a while.
In a related development, the Regional Police Command has also taken delivery of musical equipment. Already trained bandsmen and women from the Ghana Police Service are therefore ready to spice up the entertainment scene in the municipality with distinct highlife songs on Fridays and Saturdays at the Wa police headquarters canteen.
