No amount of free pads will eradicate the root cause of their poverty. Homes are broken and social interventions are going no where. Country is too lacking with thinkers to uproot poverty

poverty is man made so blaming the victims is paramount to stupidity. It is said religion and science must go together for the welfare of mankind and i say simple plain common sense , justice and science must always walk hand in hand. Not so long ago scientist using DNA analysis were able to prove the DNA of the Pharaohs of Egypt was identical to that of the sub Saharan people of Akan and also they practiced the culture and tradition of Matriarchy which plainly proves Akan are the true chosen people which we all already knew. The blue print for nation building as designed by God for every nation is in the Bible and recommends we dont mix with the philistines or other wicked people such as pepeni/ayigbe Sodom / Gomorrah least we suffer the fire and brimstone of retrogression , nor should we worship their golden calf of islam that can only bring bad-luck to our efforts of modernization and development. We all know the true reason why Acheampong and others were killed because knowing this they had begun the process of separating our blessed people from the menace of the ayigbe and later on the pepeni criminals. Seeing that they would loose their bread basket of free money they decided kill and brainwah the minds of our people with a FAKE revolution as the best way to hide a crime is to do it in the open . Corruption is now in the open and fools ignore this wickedness saying everyone is corrupt yet they piss in their pants at the thought the outsider Nana coming in. We have the law of the country hijacked by constitution written by minorities to ensure justice and freedom for the Akans can never be regained except by war. We have a govt which effectively denies the majority Akan true participation in the processes of a govt by the people and of the people since 70% of all appointees are pepeni northerners who hide behind their incompetence to ensure their true agenda of the devastation of the Akan economy. We have had Pharaohs, kings , paramount chiefs and all kinds system of state organizations through the millennia and now its time to get rid of all these useless Judas Iscariot traitor chiefs and their 30 pieces of V8 treachery that burden us and create a true modern state based on the positive experiences of progressive nations , so its now time for true democracy born in the blood of war as has been the case of all prosperous nations. Nobody can hide the true light and destiny of God's chosen people the Akan no matter the skinpain envy of the useless wicked idiots around and within us .We charge you to investigate the truth for yourselves and not be swayed by the noise , lies of the brainwashing propaganda as they only lead to doom and disgrace. Rather enter the light of wisdom , justice and freedom if not for yourselves but for future generations .We recognize the truth only because God put it in our hearts even before we are born . Do not allow fear to be your guide but rather have God in your heart and be courageous to fight even in the bloodiest of wars as no matter what we shall be victorious. Do not turn away or be blinded by the darkness of the evil , God has ordain we be a nation so arise with the clarion call for battle and do not allow them to finish the process of making us slaves in our own promised land of milk and honey. Many of you here are witnesses to the threats of their juju men and their national security forces who promised to destroy , kill or arrest me for speaking the truth but this whispering voice in the wilderness of pepeni/ayigbe corruption , wickedness and evil can not be silenced but rather grows louder . Yes we shall fight them in the hills and valleys but will never surrender as thousands will see the truth and join the battle for true freedom . we are all witnesses to thew fact that for over 50 years starting with Kotoka and followed by JJ's revolution we see there is not a single prosperous or wise Akan family of intelligentsia that has not suffered , or been persecuted leading to the dispensation or exodus of our most talented or blessed sons serving other nations in exile . The spawn of Satan following this ndc have secured the theft and think they will succeed in denying the will of God through the people in a peaceful ballot but we know they do not know God is with us and they will be booted out no matter what , we prepare not for elections but for the freedom fight of war. Their games of divide and rule by pitting the Ashantis/Twi speakers against the other Fanti speakers has failed and will never triumph again as we are now one , long live the republic of Akan. Yes the battle for freedom does not end with npp gaining power but rather the total freedom of all Akan people both here and in the ivory coast together with the return of our refugees from the diaspora.

Parents would do everything to ensure their kids have most of the essentials, food, sanitary pads etc.

When Ghana was Ghana, mothers would do everything including selling themselves to protect their kids.

Today the kids are born only to suffer.
They can mate all the time but don't want to work hard to take care of their kids.

Ghana has always and will always be hard even if you get your so called Nana Addo, the new Jesus.
Parental responsibility must not be ignored and covered by economic difficulties.
Let's be real and stop that over politicisation of everything leaving bad parents to get away with their crimes.
A bad parent will always be a bad parent, period. They would spend their time and money on drinks, women and parties.
I am sure Ghana is booming with expensive funerals and yet, we neglect the kids, our future.
I hope the children visit the sins of the fathers upon them when they are old.

I agree with you on 2 points:

1. The home or parenthood is the starting line. It is always difficult to run a good race, let alone win, without proper parental push at the starting line. The modern parents have lost control and can't protect their children from unfilterred negative foreign (Western)influences.

2. Funerals consume too much, and too many, of the precious resources that could be directed towards the education and progress of youth.

Honesty, What did Akuffo Addo had to to with this. What about Mahama going around impregnating women himself without any agenda to deal with poverty and poor education which is the root cause if all of these.

When we introduced Health Insurance, it did not mean patients could not pay their medical bills; when we introduced school feeding, it did not mean parents could not afford spending money for their kids. There are many other policies that serve as incentives for social protection just like sanitary pads. You probably know very little about the SA example and I encourage you to learn more.

That was one of the few Sad mistakes made by the First President,Kwame Nkrumah; despite his unequaled achievement to this day in terms of national development.If something is free it must be Free for all Citizens. And I was and Iam dismayed to the core,Nkrumah could not envisioned he unduly gave advantage to Northerners over the other Tribes.As a Kid at the time, I wondered if Nkrumah had advisers or listened to advise,if any. That, Northerners are ruling Ghana now is as a result of Nkrumah's unfortunate sad mistake. Now it has turned into political hot button.If Free Education to Citizens of Northern ethnicities Cannot be Canceled, Free Education must be Extended to the South without further delay,in my personal opinion.And there's not any Nonsense about that. Period!.

of course,no amount of pad will stop these girls from indulging in premarital sex.There is the need for the GES to incorporate sex education into schools' curriculum or better still organise groups to go to various schools n communities to educate the youth on their sexual n reproductive health.This is the best way to curb this problem.

does that mean all the 414 students were lacking sanitary pads? The only way that can stop this is to punish those that have sex without being married by given them 100 lashes each.

For God's sake these "men"must be made to face the law. They must be identified and punished severely. Look at these poor girls. Oh! God save Ghana. Who fights on behalf of the girls
