A Queen in the Gomoa district of the Central Region has added her voice to the condemnation of the continued spinning of lewd songs on the airwaves and described it as an ?abuse to the cultured ears?.

Nana Abena Odaaba II, the Queen of Nyakuadze does not see why such bawdy songs should be allowed to be spun on the airwaves to as, as she put it ?contaminated and abuse the minds and cultured ears of our youth?.

After joining a group of adults and youth to dance to gospel tunes spun at a durbar held by the local HIV/AIDS Campaigners Association, for which she the chairperson, Nana Odaaba tasked the leadership of the Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA) to take immediate steps to censor the lyrics of songs composed by their members before such songs are released.

?The chaff out of those lyrics must not be let loose on the market and airwaves as they tend to worsen the moral decadence among the youth?, the queen noted.

Nana Odaaba lashed at those musicians who claimed to have composed their bawdy songs out of what they do with their wives indoors, saying God knows the worthiness of what is good to be done indoors as well as what is worth doing outdoors.

She therefore warned those songwriters to be up and doing to keep whatever they do with their wives/concubines indoors to themselves. The moment they release songs on such indoor activities to the public they might as well leave their rooms with their partner and do it all in the open for all to see!

Nana Odaaba also frowned on married women who behave like spinsters and engage in extra-marital sex, saying such women lack self-control and therefore urged them to learn to say no to men other than their husbands.

?If you can?t, then better learn to say no to sex, without the use of condom in order not to contract HIV/AIDS and other self-related infections?, she added.

The durbar was organised hairdressers, herbalists, traditional birth attendants and dressmakers drawn from three communities ? Oguaakrom, Nyakuadze and Chapess.

In an address delivered on his behalf by Mr Isaac Donkoh, the organiser of the Association, Mr Eric Akobeng, the District focal person on HIV/AIDS exhorted the participants to wear gloves and also to sterilize their tools an implements after using them to avoid spreading the pandemic which in spite of the huge amount of money being spent by government on the campaign against it, is still spreading like bushfire.
