Articulate Ghanaian actress, Lydia Forson has observed that President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has succeeded in embarrassing himself publicly following his refusal to heed to advice from a section of Ghanaians.
According to her in a Tweet, the President who is impervious to advice, was laughed at during the Women Deliver 2019 Conference in Vancouver over comments to the effect that women constitute majority of the population in Ghana but not much political action had been witnessed in their push for greater inclusion in Ghana’s political administration.
“We are not seeing enough dynamism and activism on the part of those who are seeking. I am talking about dynamism where it matters…electing people to Parliament, controlling political parties because they are the instruments by which our societies make decisions.
“We are talking about decisions, not wishes and hopes, we are talking about decisions that are going to make the difference,” President Akufo-Addo said. His comments appear not to have gone down well with gender activists like Lydia Forson who took to social media to jab the President in a thread of tweets.
“This is our President talking at the Women Deliver 2019 Conference in Vancouver. This pictures sums up how a majority of the women and panel reacted to his views on gender activism. When we talk you don’t listen, then you’ll go out there and get laughed at eh,VERY PUBLICLY! ????”

Now people don’t respect o, anybody can speak about the president anyhow. What is wrong with what he said? So we shd just appoint women because they are women? And they were not laughing at him, my dear, go back and listen to the interview. Even if they were, so what? And can’t a president speak with passion? Can’t a president get upset? What at all is this unnecessary, petty, mediocre attention and journalism?
LYDIA LYDIA LYDIA. YOU CANT STAND TO BE CRITICIZED BUT YOU ARE ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE. THE LAST TIME YOU DID NOT WEAR HELMET AND IT WAS TALKED ABOUT YOUR BORE. WE DO NOT UNDERSTAND ENGLISH BUT WILL URGE YOU TO LISTEN AGAIN TO WHAT NANA SAID. YOU ARE BECOMING IRRELEVANT. THIS UNAPOLOGETHICK WRITINGS IN YOUR CLOTHES SHOULD STOP. ITS A SIGN OF LACK OF CONFIDENCE. WHO CARES IF YOU ARE BIG. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL. THIS DANCE AND MOVES IS SILLY AND TRYING TOO MUCH. ACT CLASSY BECAUSE YOU ARE.
Who even invited him there and what was the reason foir the invitation? I felt very embarrassed ooooo as a Ghanaian!!! You could feel him getting angry at a point and "quickly remembered" he was on an international stage. Guess I heard him too saying "POLITITIANS"....I stand to be corrected though!!! Even if the women are not voted for, you have the power as the president to appoint them..........
The lady was only educating you stoupid president who knows nothing. The fact that in some parts of the Arabian world women are subdued, doesn't mean if you have a dumb president making mockery of himself he should be educated.
God has his own way of exposing those who carry themselves as something they really are not, pretenders. This man and his vice president have been pretending to be what they are not. They normally say great stuff to woo people to their side, but deep down their hearts, they are not what they portray. The president was only displaying the real nana addo that his contemporaries had been saying all these while. So many people had warned us that this man is not real, and that is what God revealed to us. He was even getting angry. Had he been allowed to go on arguing, he would have further disgrace all Ghanaians by fighting on stage. W
I am ashamed of people who claim to know better but act like novices. What the President said is the exact truth many women and those who refuse to know the truth are criticizing. You women meet, make noise and at the end of the day wants to be on top of the ladder. what do you have to show the world that you are a material that can be used for decision making? As for my friend Lydia, I am disappointed in her, she should listen well before making a comment. She is exposing her ignorance in understanding simple issues. Wake up babe gal. to the President, I say good one there. you said it all.
mr president sit at home and solve our problems. u have turn yourself into a travel agent.
Very embarrassing to see our president mocked at that way by his grand daughters. I totally agreed with Lydia. I believe this president cannot really speak to issues under little pressure. He is only good in delivering written speeches, but very poor speaking from his mind without reading from a paper. You remember the gay interview also?
LYDIA OR WHTEVER YOUR ARABIAN BACKGROUND IS: A WORD OF ADVICE: BE VERY VERY VERY CAREFUL!!!!
You dont respect, that is your problem. Your disrepectfulness has blinded you to knowing the truth.
