Following Nana Aba Anamoah’s attacks on media personality and former deputy minister Mark Okraku-Mantey, in which she said he ‘sounds better when he is quiet’, the latter has now fired back.
In an interview on Aluta FM, on November 12, 2025, Mark responded to Nana Aba’s comments, noting that he knows the value of his CV and achievements in the media industry and has compared them to Nana Aba’s record in the same field.
According to Mark, people like Nana Aba do not deserve a response from him, considering his contributions and experience.
He added that she should focus on protecting her career and “stadium issues,” referencing the 2015 incident where Nana Aba faced severe backlash for allegedly photoshopping herself into a photo taken at a Manchester United game, a controversy that led to her taken off air at TV3.
“I am one person; I know my CV, so I don’t need anybody to play my CV to me. I managed Hitz FM; you know my story. She was also given GHOne; you know her story. I am only choosing what both of us are into. I will not go into other areas like my music side, my ministerial side, or even my DJing days. I am choosing the same job we both did. I know my CV, and I still want to keep my CV intact. She must protect her CV with her Wembley issues,” he added.
Background
Earlier in February 2025, during an appearance on Peace FM’s ‘Entertainment Review’, Mark Okraku-Mantey stated that the producers of United Showbiz should consider changing the show’s name since it no longer focuses on showbiz-related topics.
Peace FM’s Kwasi Aboagye then asked when Mark would appear on the program, to which he replied that since the show no longer discusses relevant industry matters, he did not know where to fit in.
“When we have proper conversations. Do you know that show is no longer showbiz? You need to change its name. I don’t have a problem with the show. When the ethics work over there, I’ll come. Now, I don’t know where I will fit in,” Mark said.
Responding to Marks comments during a discussion on UTV’s United Showbiz, Nana Aba stated that Okraku-Mantey had no right to criticise the show when he failed to make any good impact during his tenure as Deputy Minister for Tourism, Arts and Culture.
She added that Okraku-Mantey should refrain from commenting on matters concerning the creative industry because he only “sounds better when he is quiet.”
“He was given a position that could have allowed him to make the space he is complaining about better. What was his impact? It was zero. You know what? He sounds better when he is quiet. He shouldn’t talk about what people are doing in his space because he has not been impactful,” Nana Aba fumed.
