Adjetey Anang addresses backlash from his memoir; says he is not surprised

Celebrated Ghanaian actor, Adjetey Anang has expressed his opinion over the unfavourable comments he has encountered after the release of his memoir, ‘Adjetey Anang: A Story of Faith, Imperfection, and Resilience’.

In a recent sit-down interview on TV3’s ‘Midday Live’, the veteran actor said he knew people were going to make negative comments and he is not surprised.

“It was expected, I knew that people will go the way they were going. I find it as such an irony because I’ve heard so many people criticize the West for painting Africa in all those negativity and now we are doing a bit worse,” he shared.

He emphasized that rather than sustaining and focusing on negativity, we should concentrate on the positives and learn from these experiences.

“So we have no right to condemn them or judge them if we are doing that to ourselves because our focus is mainly sensationalising whatever we put out there and negating what without looking at the positives that would happen in our lives.
“If you keep on harping on the negatives, what do you expect, it’ll be repeated but what are the lessons to learn out of these things,” he advised.
