Because every single thing that you do has a repercussion, and you may think that you are living your life and doing what pleases you but at the end of the day the institution will try and teach you a lesson and it will be a bitter one,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>An excerpt from the video of Anita\u2019s opinion shared on TV3\u2019s Twitter has attracted divergent views.<\/p>\n<p>@KorpisahA wrote, \u201cI\u2019m trying to understand what they\u2019re saying. She shouldn\u2019t be a lawyer because of her personal life. The hypocrisy is funny. Have you seen some Ghanaian lawyers with piercings and tattoos and they\u2019re practicing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Payoll also tweeted saying, \u201cI thought Anita was an open-minded person until today. If you want to talk about morality let\u2019s start with you and what you are doing when the camera is off. Such a hypocrite.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeing open-minded doesn\u2019t mean she has to have your set of thinking styles. Why does anyone need to be open-minded like it\u2019s the best thing in the world? What she does when the camera is off is her business and has every right to do it. Every action has consequences,\u201d Ekow Amoasi replied to Payroll.<\/p>\n<p>Liam Sarpong also wrote, \u201cAma Governor brought this upon herself, whichever way you look at it. Her sex life should have been private. You think there aren\u2019t homos in the Middle East or Russia? Keep it in your room. Our society and culture are against it, she\u2019s not the only homo lawyer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo has justified the GLC decision to deny Ama Governor\u2019s call to the bar.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was taken aback by the uproar surrounding the call to the bar of certain individuals. Is this the kind of behaviour we consider acceptable in the legal sector? It\u2019s intriguing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo become part of the legal profession, one\u2019s conduct must not be obscene or offensive. Your activities on social media and any ex parte communication with a judge hold immense importance,\u201d she justified.<\/p>\n<p>In response, Ama Governor on Twitter wrote: \u201cRespectfully, I am still waiting to be told what my improper conduct was from the 6th of November, 2022 till date. I cannot handle this tarnishing image and spread of false information about the facts of events that took place for much longer. This is cruel.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>BY Prince Fiifi Yorke<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- AI CONTENT END 2 -->\n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anita Akua Akuffo and Ama Governor \u00a0 A section of Twitter users have descended heavily on Ghanaian media personality and brand influencer, Anita Akua Akuffo after sharing her opinion on matters surrounding the denial of Ghanaian YouTuber, social media influencer and \u2018lawyer-in-waiting\u2019, Elorm Ama Ababio, popularly known as Ama Governor, admission to the Ghana Bar [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":93408,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-93407","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.2 -
