“We need to be mindful of what we say or put on social media because we will be answerable to it one day. I am very careful with whatever I say. If I don’t have to speak, I say nothing at all. Some celebrities have said things and regretted later. We need to think through what we post out there and be cautious with what we say,” she said told Graphic Showbiz in an interview recently.

According to the former beauty queen and entrepreneur, Akua Amoakowaa, one lesson she has also learnt is to shut up when it comes to sharing secrets with friends.

The 2011 GMB winner said that she took the decision in 2018 following an unpleasant experience.

Akua’s advice comes at a time when social media in recent times has been flooded with alleged secrets shared by especially celebrity friends who have fallen out.

“I know what I am talking about because I know most of these celebs. I advised myself in 2018 not to share any secret with any friend and that has helped me a lot. If my colleagues take a cue from it, it will help them too.

“When you don’t tell your confidential stuff to your friends, how can they reveal them in the event that things turn sour between you? Some shared secrets can destroy you for the rest of your life and there are many examples we can attest to lately,” she said.
