Nana Aba Anamoah slams adults in viral video

That wave of concern found one of its loudest voices in Nana Aba, who took to X to express her frustration at how the situation was allowed to unfold.

She questioned why none of the adults present had stepped in, instead choosing to film the moment.

Nana Aba Anamoah wrote:

"Some people have really lost the plot. A grown woman (clearly without a functioning brain) is sitting right beside a child... while another fool is busy filming the whole thing instead of stopping it. Not only did nobody have the sense to take the drink away, someone actually thought, 'Let me record this.' What kind of spectacular adult stupidity is this? Imagine being old enough to know better and still being this useless around a child."

"Society failed the young girl. {expletive} men don't vet these girls properly before deciding to start a family with them. Institutions... are {expletive}. Laws are not being enforced, and irresponsible people are damaging the future of our society."

In a previous report by YEN.com.gh, Nana Aba Anamoah was at the centre of another public back-and-forth after calling out Deputy NSA boss Veronica Commey for going silent on complaints about the Baba Yara Stadium pitch since assuming her new role.

Nana Aba resurfaced old tweets in which Commey, then a sports journalist, had been vocal about the same pitch issues, questioning why she had stopped speaking out now that she held an official position.
