A controversial discussion on Joy Prime’s 'Talk Your Shhh' podcast has triggered widespread backlash after one of the show’s panellists advised women to pursue relationships with married men if they believed they had found a “good man.”

The statements, made during a conversation on whether good men still exist, quickly dominated social media, with many Ghanaians accusing the show of promoting infidelity on national television.

The episode centred on the topic, “What is your definition of a good man, and do they exist?”

In relaying her opinions, Vera, a panelist, argued that some women may only encounter one “good man” in their lifetime, and if that man happens to be married, they should seize the opportunity.

She further stated that dating a married man could be less stressful since such women would be financially catered for while focusing on improving their lives.

The comments have since sparked intense debate online, with critics describing them as irresponsible and harmful, particularly because they were aired on a national television platform.

Several public figures have also weighed in on the controversy.

Ghanaian actress and socialite Efia Odo condemned the comments with a post on X, saying, “You can tell when someone is speaking from experience. I see why they say women are their worst enemies cuz why would you give such an advice?” questioning why such advice should be broadcast on national television.

Musician Moliy also expressed disappointment, saying “In this life there are baddies and there are dummies 🫲………………………………..🫱,” arguing that the idea was wrong.

The incident has since reignited conversations about the responsibility of television programmes in shaping public discourse, especially on issues relating to relationships, marriage and family values.

While some viewers defended the programme because panel discussions are meant to accommodate diverse opinions, others insist media platforms have a duty to challenge views they believe could encourage harmful behaviour rather than allow them to be presented as practical life advice.
