By Solomon Mensah

Alhaji Akanayo

The myth that hangs over what Ghanaians have christined “for girls” has been exposed to the light of the day on Nsem Pii- Happy FM.

Alhaji Akanayo popularly known as the ‘Dabodabo Man’ said that there are some spiritual lights in both men and women which control the affairs of all human beings. 

‘Men have three lights, women four,” he said.

He said that it is one of these lights that a herbalist would set awake to attract a man to a female or the vice versa. 

Akanayo emphatically stated that what the herbalists do in the name of giving one ‘for girls’ is nothing but just an addition of a spiritual elememt as God has already planted in humans whatever we want. 

He noted that there are levels of ‘for girls.’ One that the person would be attracted to you temporarilly, the person staying with you in life and the last being that the person living with you till death.

Aside the herbalists’ ‘for girls,’ he said that there are natural ‘for girls’ too. “By nature, some people are attracted to others without such people sorting to medicine.” He noted.

Akanayo explained some traditional methods by which one could do to get attention for himsef or herself. He said that medicine to atract one exists but mostly could be found in rural areas since the elements used for the preparation of the medicine are found in such places. 

He however cautioned the general public that ‘for girls’ has a dangerous consequences on whoever that seeks it. He said that children born out of the ‘for girls’ become social misfits. Such children pull cutlasses, travel and never come back home among others.  

“I will advice you do not try it at all,” he warned.
