“Pepper Dem Ministries” welcomes Nana Aba Anamoah to the “bitter side” over recent comments

Some members of popular feminist group in Ghana, “Pepper Dem Ministries”, have called out ace-broadcaster Nana Aba Anamoah over recent comments she made about taking up traditional roles at home.

At the “Sisterhood” event organised by Sandra Ankobiah on her birthday, May 18, Nana Aba Anamoah during the mentoring session, mentioned that she has never been tempted to take up traditional roles.

“I’ve never been tempted to fall back into the traditional role, I don’t even  like cooking, so it won’t work for me,” she told one of the girls who had asked the question.

Videos from the event made it to social media and some members of the “Pepper Dem Ministries”, pointed out the contradiction from an interview Nana Aba granted in the year 2018.

The interview, granted by Nana Aba to Joy FM was at the time when another group, “SugarDem Ministries” which she subscribed to, sprung up to oppose the strong feminist views propagated by the “Pepper Dem Ministries.”

“I don’t want my man to cook for me. My man is there for a reason, I’m supposed to treat my man well, I’m supposed to cook for my man. I don’t want you in the kitchen, that is my office, don’t come into my space, and I know not too many feminists will be happy with this but this is me, I just don’t want a man to cook. I’m a conservative, I want that, I want my man to be a man from the traditional point of view.

“It is unacceptable to think that cooking for your man makes you a slave. I cook for my boyfriend and will never stop cooking for him. I don’t understand why there should be a fight between men and women. We all have our roles to play. If I need a new car, I’m not going to use my money to buy it. I won’t use my money to buy clothes. My husband must buy it for me,” Nana had reportedly stated in the interview. 

Members of Pepper Dem ministries have since welcomed Nana Aba to what they refer to as the “bitter side” since she has now publicly declared that traditional roles such as cooking, as spearheaded by the “Sugar Dem Ministries” were not for her.

Other members have equally shared their opinion on the matter in various posts all over social media.
