Akuapem Poloo Blasts Nana Aba Anamoah Over I Wouldn’t Have Had My Son Comment

Ghanaian actress Akuapem Poloo has strongly criticised broadcaster Nana Aba Anamoah for saying she might not have had a child if she knew back then what she knows now. Nana Aba made the comment on Star FM’s Morning Starr programme on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, while explaining that she is happy with one child and wants to give her son the best of everything. Her words, however, did not sit well with Akuapem Poloo, who has now fired back in a video shared online.

In her reaction, Akuapem Poloo questioned why a mother would publicly say she regrets having her child, especially knowing the child could hear or read about it one day. “What are these ladies teaching the youth? How can a mother go on the radio and say that if she knew what she knows today, she would not have had her child? How will the child feel?” she asked. She argued that even if Nana Aba truly has regrets about motherhood, some things are better kept private because of the emotional damage they can cause.

The actress did not hold back as she warned Nana Aba about the possible consequences of her words. “Even if you regret it, must you say it publicly?” she asked, before adding that Nana Aba should not complain in future if her son decides to distance himself from her. According to Akuapem Poloo, comments like these can plant seeds of rejection in a child’s mind and affect the relationship between mother and child for years to come.

Nana Aba’s original comments were made as part of a discussion about parenthood and the rewards of hard work. She explained that she is content with having just one child and wants to focus on giving him the best of everything while enjoying the fruits of her labour. Her statement has since sparked a heated debate online, with some people supporting her right to speak honestly about her experiences, while others believe such remarks should never be made publicly by a parent.

The back-and-forth between the two celebrities has now opened a bigger conversation about motherhood, honesty, and the impact parents’ words can have on their children. While some fans agree with Akuapem Poloo that children should never feel unwanted, others say Nana Aba was simply sharing her personal truth. For now, both women have made their points, and Ghanaians are left to decide which side of the argument they stand on.
