NCC Director complains of the abuse of TikTok by Ghanaian Youth

The Director for Policy Planning, Research, Monitoring and Evaluation at the National Commission on Culture (NCC), Richardson Commey Fio has raised concerns about the appalling usage of TikTok by the Ghanaian youth which he believes is against the morality of Ghanaian culture.

Mr. Commey Fio in his displeasure lamented how the female youth on TikTok expose the sensitive parts of their bodies without taking into consideration the decency and cultural values of Ghana.

According to him, Ghanaian culture promotes decency and good morals which the youth ignored to adopt other foreign cultures.

Voicing his opinion on the matter he said, “Some individuals are now very popular or referred to as celebrities because of how famous their TikTok accounts have become. However, the kind of content that is mostly shared on this app currently is becoming a threat to the cultural values and norms of Ghana”.

“Today, many TikTok videos by Ghanaian young women are just about ‘ass-hibition’ and ‘twerkification’. Is it greed, fame, or fun? Desperate young people, mostly females, who perhaps want their accounts to become popular overnight with thousands of followers have resorted to nudity, messages on sex and romance; profanity and eroticism”.

“Such new trends are gradually influencing innocent youths into becoming social misfits and deviants”.

Speaking on the benefits of the app, he said most people have a lot of followers on TikTok and that has made it possible for some to earn money from the content they create.

He was of the view that taking advantage of the app to create educative and morally good content would have given Ghanaians some respect rather than shunning the good virtues of the land.

He noted that it was essential for those in charge of regulating social media activities to take the necessary action to halt the flow of such offensive and improper content on TikTok.

“I believe it is about time we take a look at the management of the social media space within the territories of Ghana.

“In fact, most of the videos we share on TikTok in Ghana, cannot be allowed by China, the home country of the app. I implore the Ministry of Information, Ministry of Interior, National Intelligence Bureau, and the rest, to consider the best way to regulate cyberspace in this country,” he stated.
