  You are not too young to know that. It used to be done, especially in Fanti area where a man takes a woman for granted and did not perform marital rites. If the wife died, the husband was forced to sleep with the wife. Common sense and civilization seems to have overcome this but I will not be surprised if it is still carried out in the remote parts of the area

  I am not a doctor but I have heard and read so much about Ebola. Nowhere have I heard of handshakes transmitting the disease. Sarkodie should advise his government, as a matter of urgency, to stop the practice of open gutters, clean up Korle Lagoon (so close to the major hospital), clean up Odorna and sack all the squatters in the area. We should practice basic hygiene. Where in Ghana do people sleep with dead husbands?

  It is true, handshake can transmit the disease. If some one handled and touched the body fluids or tissue of a sick or dead person and shakes hand with another, the virus can easily transmitted. No wonder in the affected countries, people apparently put on gloves. Joe Turkey, Don't use your ignorance to confuse people.
