Have you seen any dating show on TV that you may want to join? If yes, then counsellor Lutterdot says that is equivalent to practising ‘ashawo in disguise’.In a recent interview with Graphic Showbiz, the controversial Ghanaian counsellor opined that the fact the participants of the show hurriedly hook up without taking time to study themselves implies that such shows are platforms for glorified prostitution.”You meet a guy on TV and all of a sudden on TV you ask the guy and he says I like you, what are the things you know about the person? I think that it is prostitution glorified if you ask me. That we are glorifying prostitution but using other mediums to invite people to practice ‘ashawo in disguise” he said.According to Mr George Lutterodt, the physical appearance must not be the only means by which a boyfriend or girlfriend is selected. “Just by looking at the person, you like him or her. These people come on TV in their best-dressed attire. The guys who come there don’t know you well,” he noted.
The counsellor who also doubles as a man of God added that “We advertise ladies on the screens and when they are not chosen by any man, it becomes an issue and leads them to stress and depression. They live with anxiety disorder and the mental illness that they are not suitable for any guy”.

Ghana is set to showcase its fashion and creative prowess on the global stage with the maiden edition of Black Star Fashion Week (BSFW), a national event aimed at discovering talent, uniting industry players and projecting Ghanaian fashion to the world.
The event is spearheaded by the Presidency-backed Black Star Experience Secretariat, led by Rex Owusu Marfo, in collaboration with the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts and the Ghana Tourism Authority.
Structured around two connected experiences in Accra and Senchi, Black Star Fashion Week will transition from industry dialogue and talent discovery to a grand fashion celebration.
Speaking to The Spectator, the Coordinator for Black Star Experience, Mr Rex Owusu Marfo, said the first day, scheduled for November 4 at the Mövenpick Ambassador Hotel in Accra, would feature the Black Star Fashion Summit.
According to him, the summit will bring together designers, fashion entrepreneurs, creatives, investors, buyers, manufacturers, policymakers and media representatives for discussions on entrepreneurship, branding, digital marketing, textile innovation, manufacturing, fashion finance, export readiness, e-commerce, artificial intelligence, sustainability and intellectual property.
Activities will include keynote addresses, panel discussions, fireside chats, masterclasses and workshops.
A key highlight will be the 16-Region Designer Programme, which will bring together emerging talents from across Ghana to interpret their regions’ identities, cultures, opportunities, heritage and craftsmanship through fashion.
The Accra programme will culminate in the selection of five top designers, with one advancing to the grand finale at Senchi.
On November 7, industry players will gather at the Royal Senchi for the Black Star Fashion Show. Beyond the runway, a Fashion Village will host designer showcases, retail exhibitions, textiles, artisan experiences, brand activations, beauty, technology and lifestyle experiences.
The event will also celebrate Ghana’s cultural diversity through music, dance, textiles, crafts, food and storytelling, while honouring outstanding contributors to the fashion ecosystem and creating business linkages between designers and investors.
The Black Star Experience is a Government of Ghana initiative to promote culture, arts, tourism and creative engagement, positioning Ghana as a leading cultural and creative capital of Africa.
