In a slave market, an owner is showing his slaves for selling.
A man come to the shop and pointing to an American slave and asked, "how much he is?". The owner said, "$100". And the man pioint to a Russian slave, asked again, and the owner reply, "$1000". The man point to Japanese slave, and the owner reply, "$10000".
Finally the man point to a African slave and ask the price, the owner reply, "$100000".
The customer is confused and ask, "Why that black slave cost too much?".
The owner reply, "His brain is still new, he never used his brain".
I don't mean to make someone feel bad.
Coz i am a afro-american :)

This is so because of the inequality in the distribution of wealth and a lack of clear legl frame to protect and PROMOTE the dignity of children. Society has a moral and legal obligation to pay more attention and devote more resources to the weak. Otherwise this country will never progress. Why do we have 10 people enjoying and 1000 people wallowing in dire poverty? Which country will develop in this way?

This serious report will never get the comments it deserves,because it is not talking about,NDC or NPP.
But, isn`t sad to know that in the year 2013 of our Lord Jesus Christ,kids are being held as slaves in some households?
These kids are suppose to be our future,people who will one day growup to takeover the mangement of this dear nation of ours.
But,politics has blinded us so much,nobody seems to be thinking about these kids.
Our leaders will rather steal the little money the State has and bunker it abroad,than to provide basic education to these kids.
We need free education for all children from 6 ton 16yrs of their lives,this is the only way to get them out of this situation.
But whom am l saying this to,after all,the sitting Government don`t believe in free education and most Ghanaians have agreed with them.
Yet, i hope the NDC will think again and provide free education for atleast our kids.

10.5 MILLION CHILDREN BETWEEN THE AGES OF 5 TO 14 YEARS WORKING? I DON'T THINK SO. POPULATION OF GHANA IS SAY 25 MILLION AND 14 MILLION REGISTERED TO VOTE (I.E. 18 YEARS AND ABOVE). SO WE HAVE 24.5 MILLION PEOPLE ABOVE 5 YEARS? WHAT OF THOSE BETWEEN 5 TO 14 YEARS WHO ARE NOT WORKING? SAY 1.5 MILLION? WHAT OF 0 TO 5 YEARS? SAY 2 MILLION? OBVIOUSLY THIS NES IS NOT CORRECT. GHANA POPULATION IS NOT ABOVE 30 MILLION.

whether ndc,npp or cpp they are all the same, some people here associate certain problems with politics, and it's very sad and annoying sometimes.

One would think our numerous churches and GJA would see this as a problem. No, not these hypocrites. They have made homosexuality their biggest problem. Let's all ask ourselves if homosexuality is worse than any of the following: corruption, sanitation, child labor, armed robbery,etc. Yet, guess what these organizations see as the number one problem facing our country. God, please help us.
