There is nothing more annoying than a fool who thinks he knows it all. Listen to AMA Atta Aidoo. You'll learn a thing or two
Adona, your Professor-kin writes like it is she's an "intern ghost-writer"!
Read her useless post again!
For once Otiko is right and only fools will not admit. Even the way people dress make police see them as possible criminals.
The way women dress sometimes make them attractive to men. Men who cannot contain themselves then r ...

I think there is nothing to learn from her if she thinks the mode of dressing of a girl can not cause rape.
What about those who rape little girls and boys? Is it because babies expose themselves to them? There is a breakdown of law and order in Ghana. Anyone does whatever they want. There is no leadership. The government is corrup ...

it looks like you have a personal problem with the woman...your comments sound so personal
There's a thing or 2 we can learn from this lady. Ghana is far behind, and who are all these trolls who seem to know nothing but keep putting women down. Ghanaian women do not do that to the men, but they keep disrespecting ...

OTIKO HERSELF ALSO BEEN DRESSING LIKE THAT BEFORE WHY THEY NEVER RAPE HER.
Any sensible person will agree with with the minister.
A fool like you will agree with the minister. Girls wearing pairs of jeans are raped all the time and what do you say about that? Pure and simple, rape is violence against girls and women and there is no justification, WHATSO ...

That otiko has no sense..she has shaved half her brains away to talk like that
Mama, then you have got it wrong. Decent dressing is not likely to receive rape attempt. I thought you will either advice our young ladies to adhere to what the Hon Minister said rather than condemning it. Their dressing is n ...

So now you liken yourself to a madman. So other people should not wear what they want because you can't control your animalistic and mad tendencies. You come across as a potential rapist who will plead insanity. Stop the mad ...

Teach them ooo, teach them some. Too many simpletons with loud mouths in the system la.
Some men rape babies and you do hear about that. Do the babies also wear mini skirts and skinpy dresses?
Rape is sexual violence and he must retract those statements. She should stop digging in. Retract and move on.
Oh ama are you serious.
My Learned Prof. should proved it with data and some analysis. Let the ladies learn to cover their nakedness well in public
Kwasia you think ghana is saudia Arabia ? Women can wear whatever they want if u have a problem with that dose your eyes. Stop making Ghana into a religious state or equivalent to an Islamic country. This is a free country. I ...

YOU MAD
Yes, rape has a lot to do with girls dressing. It a girl dresses provocative, thus inviting rape. I agree strongly with Otiko
Any reasonable person will agree with Otiko and not seek to undermine such a good counsel. Note, Ama Ata Aidoo that Wher3ma na 3twetwe ndwom 3ba!
Your Ndclike dislodge of Otoko's well-intended advice is not only myopic and d ...

Stop politicising everything. I thought whn someone grows he/she gets more wisdom. Is a pity. Very disappointing! smh
In Saudi Arabia and other Muslim countries they blame women for rape. That is why they have women wearing burqa as if they are some property that needs to be covered. Ghana is not a religious or an Islamic country. Respect ou ...

So how does the children under 10 years dress to be raped.The minister got her message wrong m
Just common sense and some people still don't get it.she was talking about decent dressing. Abaaa
You are right madam
You ladies have the power to entice men and our clothing is one way of that act. Ama please allow Otiko is advising girls please allow an experience lady to share that experience to girls.
Come again mama. You didn't think far on this one.
After all an Octogenarian is more more more sensible than the Prez choice to represent him at this ministry. Where is Ghana heading to folks.
You're as foolish as the old lady. How many right thinking members of the society will comment in favor of this stupidity. Ama atta Aidoo tell your grand daughters to wear panties and walk on the streets
Otiko's hairdo attempts me to take an opportunity to advance...............
Ama Ata Aidoo...why is it that girls are not encouraged to dress anyhow....no one answer please....Otiko's view could be one of them....so she is right to warn them.
so if a 10 year old girl wear a short knicker gets raped, it is her fault? gyimimi gyimi in Ghana is getting out of hand
Oh, Amma Atta Aidoo, you have disappointed many Ghanaians with this comment. If a girl's dressing cannot attract rape, what else can do that? It is a major factor. You have brought politics into this. You simply hate Otiko. W ...

Not all the time,but don't encourage our girls to come out almost nude. Afterall you are a woman. You don't know how men feel. Is it wrong to dress modesty?
A woman talking like this shocking
Madam Proffesor, even though dressing might not necessarily be the cause of rape since the phenomena is as rife in Moslem countries as it is everywhere, the admonishing wasn't out of place since the animalistic instincts to l ...

Haaba!!! How can any sane person justify rape? Are you animals? Guys stop the bullshit.
Seeing is believing!
My Allah save us from this kind of women is very clear this woman is one of the irresponsible parents who always allow their wards to promote prostitution and indecent behavior
Ama Ata Aidoo is these days not the Aka Ata Aidoo we knew. She doesn't make sense these days. Is she not the person who angrily walked away from a program because her name had wrongly been spelt ? Minister Otiko was damn rig ...

All i think aa strongly against de act but how can u claim it has nothin to do wid dressin ???? ....am a bit surprised !
Oh Auntie Ama. I expected better. I thought you'd assist in teaching our up and coming generation to dress decently. Not just about rape but about societal decadence..
Ama Aidoo is out of touch with reality
Where from this woman? Is she aware that there are sex addicts in our society? The least exposure of sensitive parts of both men and women attracts these sex addicts. Yes, most men and women who exposed their sensitive bodies ...

Have u ever raped a woman? How do u know the fillings of men. A man's filling is always in his eyes. Immediately a man sees some naked part of a woman he begins to think how she will be in bed. It's a fact.
Tell Ama Ataa that when women dress provocatively,they become vulnerable
That's your view. Some thoughts triggered by provocative dressing whilst others rape thoughts are influenced by evil lustful imaginations....
Ama is absolute right and Otiko is wrong. There is no proof that girls Rape have something with the way they dress. There are tribes in Africa and South America who only cover their private parts and have less rape. What Ghan ...

I believe the minister is not far from right. It's evident that some so called fashion are just not different from dressing of prostitutes.
It is only in Ghana that we can have otiko as a minister
If your dressing can't attract rapists then we shld take that out of our syllabus cos in B6 Citizenship Education, it's part of how girls can manage adolescent problems.
otiko is not a ministerial material, is this the people npp say they have. When did building walls become a policy. Square peg in an oval hole.
Otiko needs a good fuck; that's what she needs to keep her mouth shut.
THE FACT THAT YOU LEFT YOUR DOOR UNLOCKED DOES NOT ENTITLE A THIEF TO ENTER AND STEAL. BUT COMMON SENSE TELLS US TO LOCK OUR DOORS SO THAT THE THIEF WILL NOT HAVE EASY ACCESS OR BE EASILY ATTRACTED TO ENTER AND STEAL. GIRLS U ...

That's true OJ. I think therefore that Prof Aidoo is right. Otiko is not intellectually sophisticated enough. She's too much of a simpleton. That's why she'll give such advise to our girls.
it really really matters, mama.
Has a Ministet of State no right to dress well? Is it out of place for her to link exposed thighs and breats to rape?
Ama Ata Aidoo, a radical feminist, thinks that is bad. Why? Because it 'suppresses' the girls. Hmmmm. Fals ...
