Singer Wiyaala has depicted as "a major falsehood" a case by one Rita Etornam Sey, the organizer behind Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) Move Today, that young girl and women in the northern part of Ghana use clay as a substitute for menstrual towels.
Ms Sey, in a GTV interview on World Menstrual Hygiene Day, said: "we really must focus on great menstrual hygiene, knowing very well what a some of the young ladies use when they are menstruating.
"For Move Today, over the period, the spots we have been to, the young ladies use every possible kind of materials for menstruation: some use papers, some use clay. We went toward the North, a some of the young ladies use earth as a substitute for sanitary pad."
Wiyaala, in a short reply video, notwithstanding, portrayed the case as bogus.
"It's a major falsehood," she shouted, tending to Ms Sey straightforwardly: "Our sister, please, what you are talking about is obviously false."
She pushed in the video that "it's obviously false; it's a super frightening," adding: "I'm a northern young lady; aabah, mud!"
"Our sister, I'm not going after you but rather I don't have the foggiest idea why you said that and everything you are attempting to accomplish by saying to this falsehood," Wiyaala added.
