Media personality Nana Aba Anamoah has publicly criticized journalist Haruna Mohammed for allegedly making an irresponsible GH¢100,000 giveaway promise on social media, describing it as reckless and misleading.
The controversy erupted after Haruna Mohammed posted that he would give away GH¢100,000 to social media users as part of a promotional campaign. Nana Aba took issue with the claim, warning that such promises can raise false expectations and damage the credibility of public figures.
Speaking on her social platforms, Nana Aba stressed the need for accountability, writing:
“Influence comes with responsibility. Promising large sums of money without a clear plan is reckless and undermines public trust.”
The exchange has sparked debates among social media users and media professionals, with some backing Nana Aba’s position while others defended Haruna Mohammed, arguing that social media giveaways are common promotional strategies.
Observers note that the incident highlights the responsibility of public figures in using their platforms carefully, especially when dealing with money or incentives that could impact their followers. Many are now calling for clearer regulations and transparency around online giveaways to prevent misunderstandings and protect the public.
As the conversation continues online, the clash between Nana Aba and Haruna Mohammed underscores the growing scrutiny faced by influencers and journalists in the digital age.
