How can some people be so heartless? I don't get it! Selling your own son for money? What's money? I have never been rich, but there's no level of poverty that can force me to sell a human being, let alone my own son! This is sad and unbelievable to some of us! That one of the consequences of a failing society, and irresponsible leadership! Ghana is gradually heading down the ditch!!!!

PLEASE PRESIDENT MAHAMA, LISTEN TO DR. BAWUMIA AND SAVE GHANA. PLEASE SWALLOW YOUR PRIDE AND ACCEPT THAT YOU AND YOUR NDC PARTY HAVE FAILED. ASK FOR HELP. IS SUCH A MAN LIVING IN THE "BETTER GHANA AGENDA"? PLEASE LISTEN TO THE ECONOMIC GURU AND STOP YOUR PROPAGANDA. IF YOU DIDN'T DO ANYTHING FOR SIX YEARS, DO YOU THINK WE EXPECT YOU TO DO SOMETHING IN JUST TWO YEARS? GHANAIANS ARE NOT FOOLS.

If it's poverty then all of us have to sell our children some people think they are the only people who have problem they don't know what others are going through and by GODs grace surviving in it.Life without Christ is full of miserly. It takes GODs grace for one to stand firm in challenges.If you depend on yourself or somebody else I bet you you will fail. People may try to help you but only GOD can sustain you let's stop depending on ourselves and people and depend on GOD alone He not only has the answer He is the answer.

NDC,stop killing Ghanaians slowly but surely .

How can any govt make life so difficult for its citizens to the extent that parents see selling their children as the only way out of poverty ?

And then its security advisor to the president tells the citizens that if they cannot stand conditions in the country they should pack bag and luggage and leave the country ?

Will these power-obsessed thieves parading themselves as politicians, resign from power and allow people with brains to take over the reins of govt ?

There is absolutely no justification for this madness.There is no need to evaluate the mental state of this man. this is the time the current government must take a look as to whether policies they are implementing are going a long way to positively impact peoples lives. Sad to know that a natural citizen of Ghana will go through so much economic hardship whilst a foreigner comes in to enjoy. The government must act speedily because the administration is continually loosing its trust the people of Ghana reposed in them.

I thought the era of SLAVERY is over, but little did I know that it is part of Ghanians culture. How can anyone sell his family for peswa? I'm speechless for this heinous act of Kwame Owusu.

Your last sentence is spot on ... heinous act of Kwame Owusu, not Ghanaian culture!

There are bad/mad people in every country. You should not use one instance to deduce a country's culture.

Ever wondered what's really in that burger?

In one Nigerian restaurant, cops have discovered that it was humans on the menu.

The grim discovery was made after police officers in Nigeria found two human heads wrapped in cellophane at a hotel restaurant. They had raided the hotel in Anambra in southeastern Nigeria after receiving a tip-off.

The hotel owner and 10 others have been arrested, reported the Osun Defender.

Police also recovered two AK-47 rifles, 40 rounds of live ammunition and cellphones from the unnamed hotel.

"I went to the hotel early this year, after eating, I was told that a lump of meat was being sold at N700 ($4)," one local pastor, who was one of those who tipped off police, told the Osun Defender website. "I was surprised. So, I did not know it was human meat that I ate at such an expensive price."

Oh Ghana. These are some of the symptoms of desperation and severe hardship some Ghanaians are facing. I don't condone that criminal activity of the father. It's completely sinful and mischievious. The bigger picture is that lot of Ghanaains are being subjected to severe economic hardships due to misguided and corrupt actions of our governments. HOW CAN A COUNTRY WITH SO MUCH/MANY RESOURCES - oil, cocoa, timber, diamond, gold, manganese, sea, bauxite, and rich agricultural land - BE SO POOR? The population is just 23 million or below. Why? why? why?

It is really unfortunate that some (majority) of Ghanaians are in such desperate situations. Meanwhile, there are 275 so-called parliamentarians doing nothing for Ghana's progress, all they do is insult each other, and get paid by the tax payers. Actually, twenty (20) parliamentarians; two(2)from each region; can do an effective job of creating jobs-building industries, getting rid of armed robbers, improving health care system, etc. etc.

Really, a one party democratic system is better than this multiparty system which creates ethnic hate that has destroyed Ghana, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea initially used such systems to create stability and move forward on the road to prosperity.

At this point, it will really be better if the NPP and NDC parties could be banned from politics in Ghana, with these two parties operating, Ghana WLL NEVER PROSPER. They will continue stealing all our resources to enrich their families.
