    THIS SOUNDS REASONABLE. IT IS DIFFICULT FOR NOW TO KNOW WHO THE VICTIM IS. OR IS THERE REVICTIMIZATION OF THE VICTIM IF TRULY THERE WAS A VICTIM

  • Kofi Ata, Cambridge, UK 9 years ago

    I read this earlier in the week on Joyfmonline and was very impressed with the views shared by Lydia Forson. I was also impressed with the Letters she wrote to Ducan Williams when he made derogatory remarks about single women ...

    The broad achievements of the United Nations Millenium Development Goals are out and Africa was last on all the goals. There is growing irritation amongst concerned citizens and stakeholders on the lack of information from th ...

    Ms Forson, I agree with all that you said. One needs to make haste slowly while a case is pending before the courts, especially where there's a "she said, he said". Eventually, we expect that the blind-folded lady holding alo ...

    It is heart warming to acknowledge that lady Forson can articulate an intelligent discourse on such a thorny issue. I admire your wit.

  • NANA YAW 9 years ago

    Can Lydia Forson tell us what is rape in her own language, that is what constitutes rape in our own vernacular?

    Rape is rape is that so in every culture?
    Let' be honest and discuss this for the sake of our children. Incre ...

    If you don't have the brains to decipher what she just put out there, find a different subject to comment on.

  • NANA YAW 9 years ago

    Do you Mensah have the brains to understand what I put out there? I don't think you do, Kwasiato.

  • Mensah 9 years ago

    If you read the lady's posting here, she is just saying she is unwilling to take sides on either party of this incident because she doesn't have all the facts unlike others who have already convicted and vilified this

  • NANA YAW 9 years ago

    Thank you for revealing your secrets. I appreciate that, but you still didn't answer my initial questions - What is the vernacular of the word "rape"? Do we have it in every culture?

  • Mensah 9 years ago

    Do you believe in any culture that you can imagine of, a man can forcibly have intercourse with a woman or vice versa and get away with it? I believe cultures outside the Western ones have their own way of dealing with crimin ...

    I went easy on you with my previous response, but I can see your education level is between an illiterate and semi-literate person. Sharing my experience on this subject and how I dealt with it like a man should is not reveal ...

    She is talking about being found guilty,not actual act!! Be wise nanayae

  • Adwoa 9 years ago

    You are now speaking grammar. When the pastor said something on his pulpit you were all over the place mocking him. A woman has been raped and you are here speaking grammar. You've got a thing for him?

  • Oyarifa 9 years ago

    I believe she is just calling a spade a spade. She is not taking sides and rushing to to judge like the media and most of us will do. It is simply a delicate subject and false allegations can crop up anytime.

  • Ghanaba 9 years ago

    Hi Lydia I don't know much about you,if I did not like you before I tell you one thing now I love you. Stay blessed & happy new year may your career blossom in 2015

  • Gen.Mosquito 9 years ago

    Age is just a number.so whether its a 19 years old fucking a 50 years old makes no difference and mind you its not only the men who are the older ones but also the sugar mommies supporting the young boys

  • Gen.Mosquito 9 years ago

    Yes Lydia if a woman says yes she actually mean no.this is what I have been saying all along since this case broke out.this admition coming from a woman says it all

    Rape is a very serious issue and as Lydia has rightfully said its really hard to comment on some of these issues. I will never forget the night when my own mum of blessed memories told me how here elementary school teacher co ...

  • Dan Duruwah 9 years ago

    Rape becomes a difficult subject because more often than not, men are the ones that commit rape. At the same time men are the Police and hold the courts. If a 30 year old woman dares report, she will more than likely be torn ...

    Infact I have never been a fan of lydia, but I am totally impressed by how fair and wise she is. Many women have quickly sided with the alleged victim as soon as they heard rape. A friend of mine was sentenced to 10 years in ...
