    The reputation of Ghana and Nigeria is nor becoming unpopular due to the fraudulent behaviour of our youths of today. Very soon we will no longer be allowed to enter the whiteman's land. It is a shame.

  • Ghanaman 3 days ago

    Ghana is already blacklisted on many websites on the internet. Ad soon as the system detects your Ghana IP address, it is programmed to leave you hanging. Sometimes it will say "oops, something went wrong".

    A 23 year old person is an ADULT not a JUVENILE so we cannot speak of defilement here. We can speak of defilement, if one of the partners is under age.
