Ghanaian media personality Nana Aba Anamoah has criticised individuals making insensitive comments about the death of 15-year-old Ghanaian boy Javits Frimpong. She has urged the public to show compassion towards his grieving family.

Speaking on Starr FM on November 2, 2026, Nana Aba expressed disappointment over the manner in which some individuals are reacting to the teenager's tragic death, particularly those using the incident to make hurtful remarks and judge the decisions of his family.

According to her, people must learn to remain silent when they have nothing meaningful or sensible to contribute to sensitive conversations, rather than using another person's misfortune as an opportunity to mock or attack them.

She described the attitude of people who find pleasure in the suffering of others as disturbing, insisting that anyone who celebrates another person's grief should be more concerned about their own behaviour.

“Sometimes, you just need to keep quiet. Keep quiet if you have nothing to say. If you don't have anything sensible to add to the conversation, just shut up. People have become sadists. We enjoy seeing others suffer, and it gives some people a certain kind of excitement,” she said.

If I knew what I know now, I wouldn't have had a child – Nana Aba Anamoah

She continued, “It's interesting how the same people sit down and call someone a witch. No, you are the witch! If someone's problems, grief or misfortune makes you happy, then you are at the centre of it. You are evil; you are the most evil person.”

Nana Aba further disclosed that Javits' death had deeply affected her, describing the loss of a child, particularly one at such a young age, as one of the most painful experiences any family could endure.

“We need to learn to be compassionate. If you have nothing meaningful to contribute, keep quiet. I have been deeply affected by this because losing a child like that is one of the most difficult experiences, especially when the child is around that age,” she stated.

She also questioned why some people were criticising the family's decision to have the teenager in the United States, arguing that individuals should not dictate how others choose to spend their resources or make decisions about their children's future.

“How many of these people wouldn't want to be taken out of Ghana to the United States at that age? You don't get to decide for anybody what they should use their resources for,” she added.
