Veteran actor, Mikki Osei Berko, popularly known as Dada Boat, says he supports the act of television stations in Ghana showing pornographic content.
He said TV networks are justified to show x-rated adult materials because of the weak regulations on showing foreign contents in the country.
GHOne TV on Thursday, April 9, 2020, on its Duvet program thrilled audience to some pornographic content.
While advising couples to try new sex positions, they played a pornographic film.
Some Ghanaians took to social media to criticize the TV station for the act.
Others alleged that the station deliberately snubbed President Akufo-Addo’s coronavirus address to the nation which was occurring at about the same time to show the X-rated content.
However, Mikki Osei Berko, has no problem with GHOne TV’s conduct or any television network that decides to imitate what GHOne TV did.
He explained that authorities have allowed foreign culture to take over content on TV and this is the result.
”The national problem is that we don’t understand our culture. We don’t even know we have a culture for us to even teach our generations or ourselves. We don’t even know our heritage and that is one of the major problems we have as a country. So, we don’t know the direction we’re taking. We don’t even have a direction because if we have a direction, we would know our culture”
”I support the TV station. Yes! Because everybody is doing what he or she likes. If everybody is doing what he or she wants and you too you know what to do to attract people, why don’t you do it? Because there’s no regulation. I know there is a regulation that permits the broadcast of appropriate content; but in this country, to a large extent, the laws are not applied,” he stressed.
Mikki Osei Berko said pornography is foreign content and the trend can be checked by rather promoting local content.
