Citi Fm’s Jessica Opare claims to be an award winning journalist and yet, she seems deeply ignorant when it comes to journalism—how did she win those awards?
In Ghana, we have a lot of people sitting on TV and radio with huge following—and mostly, these people are full of ignorance. That explains the corresponding ignorance of a lager percentage of the population.
The Nana Aba Anamoah’s suspension issue has been trending—it’s expected that her friends in the journalism profession would mount support for her. But this should be done with intellect—not on the back of pure ignorance.
Jessica Opare took to twitter yesterday to question TV3 on the rationale behind the suspension of Nana Aba Anamoah—and in doing so, she requested that TV3 should publish its code of conduct for her to see if Nana Aba Anamoah violated any aspect of it. She added that the decission to take Nana Aba Anamoah off air is “tosh”.
Now, this is where Jessica’s ignorance comes to play—publish code of conduct? Has she not heard of implied code of conduct or common sense?
An employer may not specifically say if you go and steal from someone, you would be sacked—but it’s implied into your contract that any action which will subject your employer to contempt will fetch you a sanction.

My employer has not said I should not take naked photos and post on social media and it’s not written anywhere in my code of conduct. But common sense and implied ethics tell me that, if I wake up and decide to pose naked on social media, I will be disciplined accordingly.
For a journalist from another big media house to be parading this ignorance shows that, it’s not only Nana Aba Anamoah who does not even understand the ethics of her profession, there are more of such clowns out there—who need to be checked.
And people tune in to listen to this person?
