I’m not rude; I’m very confident – Nana Aba Anamoah


 

Media personality Nana Aba Anamoah has hit back at critics who consider her rude.

In an interview with Joy Prime’s Roselyn Felli on Changes show, she asserted that she is the opposite of what people think about her.

The broadcaster, while addressing the issue of being classified as rude, explained that she prefers to be honest and tackle matters as they are, adding that it is something she will never apologise for.

“I hear that all the time, and I don’t apologise for it. I don’t render any apologies for it. I don’t know why anybody will say I’m rude because I just like to tell things as they are. In a measured way, most of the time I’m polite. But my politeness is sometimes hidden in a very subtle and sarcastic way. I hear people say that I’m rude. I’m not rude; I’m just a very confident person,” she said.

She explained that most ladies face confidence challenges due to the fear of being tagged as rude, which is one of the major reasons behind the initiation of her programme, Women of Valour.

According to her on the show, men tend to be more confident in job interviews than women, which she thinks should be addressed.

“The problem is that women are sometimes afraid to say what they can do because they think people will say they’re too knowing and want people to see that they can do this or that, but there’s nothing wrong with it because that’s what you can do. This is what I’m capable of doing, and this is what I’m bringing to the table when you employ me. So, there’s a confidence issue with a lot of our ladies,” Nana Aba added.

This makes it difficult for women to negotiate their salaries when given a job opportunity, as they feel they struggled to get it and don’t want to risk losing the chance, thereby accepting low offers.

But for her, she doesn’t mind being rude when necessary because some questions deserve rude responses. She noted that she is not bothered about people who think she is impolite.
