You’re sick; seek help – Kufuor’s physician advises ladies in sextapes, twerk vi
Dr. Bettina Ama Boohene-Andah, Physician to Former
President John Agyekum Kufuor and Founder of the
MENFYD Foundation has described as unfortunate and
sickening, the recent “fashion” of sextapes
and indecent videos recorded by young ladies in
the country.

Speaking at the sidelines of the “story of our
lives” conference; a program aimed at mentoring
young women, Dr. Boohene-Andah said
sick-mindedness is the only factor that will drive
anybody to record a naked or indecent video of
themselves and circulate it in the public domain.
She added that it is bad enough that they expose
themselves wrongfully but much worse, to record or
film the act.

“It is unfortunate, why would you expose your
body to somebody else and not only expose it to
that person indoors, but with the social media
now, it’s all over the place…there are some
sick-minded people and I say they are sick because
it’s wrong for them to film all these things; in
the first place it is wrong to do it, but to film
it and put it out on social media…”, she
maintained.

Dr. Boohene-Andah explained that lack of self-
confidence or love from the right persons could be
contributing reasons why these ladies purport
these acts. According to her, these girls may be
engaged in these acts just so they can gain public
attention and get the approval of their mates or
men at large.

“It’s the lack of self-confidence, so as soon
as these girls feel loved by an older man or even
their own age group, they give their all including
their bodies, and they expose themselves”, she
said.

Speaking on the long-term impact of these acts on
the persons involved, Dr. renown physician
indicated that the culprits, though may not
realise the magnitude of their actions
immediately, may suffer dire consequences in the
future. She said, they risk losing their
prospective jobs or future aspirations because
their actions may haunt them when they need jobs
and employers reject them after discovering their
history online.

She therefore advised that these ladies do
self-introspection exercises to help them know
“who they really are” and also seek
counselling from the appropriate authorities who
can assist them overcome their issues.

There have been recent cases of sex-tapes, naked
picture leakages and indecent videos circulating
on social media, the most recent being a Legon
student who is alleged to have posted her naked
pictures on social media to promote her product;
the local beads. Another is a video of some SHS
students who were twerking whiles their colleagues
looked on.
