It’s about time the Minister of Communications and the relevant regulatory bodies step in and take a serious look at some of these programs, especially in Kumasi.
Shows like Aunty Naa on Sompa FM are gradually crossing the line. How can two adults get married, whether in court or through traditional rites, with proper documentation and family involvement, and then take the same issue to a radio show for settlement? What exactly is the role of the courts in Ghana if media personalities are now acting like judges?
This is a clear sign of disrespect to the judicial system. If there are legal documents and recognized family processes involved, the appropriate place to resolve disputes is the court, not a radio studio built for public drama and embarrassment.
Let’s be honest: some of these shows thrive more on disgrace than on real resolution. Turning serious family and legal matters into public entertainment doesn’t solve problems, it only damages reputations.
Take the recent case of the former Black Stars player who reportedly sent his family to such a platform over a house dispute. If you claim to have legal ownership backed by documents, what happened to the courts? Since when did Aunty Naa become a judge?
This kind of nonsense needs to stop.
And culturally, even within the Ashanti system, the Naa Hemaa (Queen Mother) plays a respected role in mediation and community guidance, but that is rooted in tradition, dignity, and structure. Not public humiliation for ratings.
