In the last few days, this phrase has become popular on social media after actress Tracey Boakye used it repeatedly to describe a married man she claims she and musician Mzbel are in the same relationship with.
Subsequently, controversial Afro pop musician, Barima Sydney, released a song titled ‘papa no’. The song is in connection with the Mzbel-Tracy feud.
However, there was drama in Parliament Friday night when the phrase ‘papa no’ appeared on the floor as the House approved the Agyapa Royalties Limited agreement.
During the proceedings, the Ofoase-Ayirebi MP described former Deputy Energy Minister and MP for Yapei Kusawgu, Hon. John Jinapor as ‘papa no’.
“Mr Speaker, I want to encourage my colleagues on the other side. I want to encourage my good friend who just spoke [referring to John Jinapor]. In my hometown, we will say, ‘papano’. ‘Papano’, I want to encourage ‘papa no’ to take some time and follow the structure of this conversation and support”, Oppong Nkrumah told the House.

Ayikoo!”, he tweeted.
But commenting on this, Afia Pokua scolds Nkrumah and Sammy Gyamfi and says they should be ashamed of themselves.
According to the firebrand journalist, she was shocked to notice that Mr. Nkrumah mentioned the phrase ‘papa no’ in Ghana’s Parliament and also Sammy Gyamfi also using it on the President.
“I’m shocked that “papa no” was mentioned in parliament. Kojo Oppong Nkrumah paa? And Sammy Gyamfi too is pointing at the Prez as “papa no” You guys should be ashamed of yourselves”, She wrote on Facebook.
