The choice of waist beads by undercover journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas for his regular mask, seems to have triggered talking points among his followers and admirers.<\/p>\n

One may wonder why a man, notably an African, may want to cover his face with a mask made of beads, a material widely used by African women not only to shape their waist from child birth, but to romantically wriggle a man\u2019s sexual senses as they age in bodily contour.<\/p>\n

That is perhaps the confusion in the minds of many who have keenly trailed the heroics of\u00a0Anas Aremeyaw Anas.<\/p>\n

Anas, in a mask made out of beads, a long dress and a hood covering his head and neck with two similarly dressed men from his Tigereye PI private investigative firm, has appeared before the committee investigating judges and magistrates indicted in his two-year investigative piece, in which the honorable men were seen presumably trading justice for wealth.<\/p>\n

His weird, yet mesmerizing appearance coupled with his decision to dazzle judges with two others of his kind, has exasperated some of the judges, whose lawyers have filed suits seeking to unmask him.<\/p>\n

Anas\u2019 outfit which soon became a subject of discussion inspired many, particularly on social media, to wear replica masks in solidarity with his anti-corruption campaign.<\/p>\n

But has anyone bothered to find out why Anas chose to cover his face with nothing but beads mostly found on the wrists, ankles and particularly on the waist of African women?<\/p>\n

And how does he see through a cluster of beads on his face?<\/p>\n

Anas in an interview on the Citi Breakfast<\/strong> Show on Tuesday, told the host Bernard Avle, that he had no particular reason for choosing the beads for a mask.<\/p>\n

According to him, that is the material he found available when he decided to cover his face.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the day I decided to have something on my face, the most available material was the beads because I also felt that it was African and it portrays us much better. If you don\u2019t have, you can just talk to your sister and she will bring some to you,\u201d Anas said laughing.<\/p>\n

Anas noted however, that appearing disguised in public was not for fun, adding \u201cIt\u2019s also a message that this work we do is not a joke and we cannot take it for granted; and we are also part of pushing the frontiers of democracy which should not be taken lightly.\u201d<\/p>\n
