    I haven't followed the KKD matter much and don't really know the details (didn't even know who the guy was and thinking rape items are tabloid news) but Pryce's article makes me re-visit some of the issues surrounding rape in ...

    What have you hypocrite Ewe fool Pryce so far written about the Ewes who sleep with their own daughters?

    Why do you have to run you dirty mouth about an Akan who turned around with his own girl friend?

    Who brought the ...

    Who is this empty heard trying hard to be heard ? Daft duck, serious issues are being discussed here. Go somewhere and piss your tribal diatribes.

    What has his tribe got to do with this? Pryce is one of the most balanced gentlemen in this forum

    @ Abu contraire, you are doing exactly what Ajoa Wangara did and even worse in your case bcos neither KKD or Ajoa Wangara is an Asante so why are you insulting Asantes? It is not only Ewes who comes from Volta Region there ...

    First, it is wrong for Au Contraire to extend his counter-insult of that jerk to Asantes in general even IF the jerk is proven to be an Asante. I have always cautioned Ewes in particular who respond to the insults hurled at E ...

    Mr Price, thanks for my article, as a criminologist I hope you could throw light on a few issues that bothers me. Since this case popped it's ugly head up, we have heard a lot about how older men are forcing themselves on ...

    what I find disturbing is you claim Mr Darkwah epitomizes the typical Ghanaian man. You are so wrong on different levels. The ideal hard working Ghanaian man is married and these girls see them as a meal ticket out of their m ...

    It boils down to discipline, respect, responsibility and morality all combined into one. Whatever the merits (or de-merits) of this case, KKD (and other men like him who seem to get away with it) must surely have diminished h ...

  • DR. SAS, ATTORNEY AT LAW 9 years ago

    My dear Dr. Pryce, as usual, your essay is a delightful read. However, it does not offer any basis for your moral or legal conclusion about Ghanaian men. What is worse, it propounds a very flawed logical premise hitherto unkn ...

    Dr SAS,

    I have been following this "sordid" case from the sideline with no intention to comment but I am breaking that resolve now. I find myself siding with your views.

    I also think Dan has been over presumptuous with ...

    Dear Brothers,

    Good day.

    I think I have to go along with Andy and Dr. SAS on this one, at least based on the circumstantial outlook of the case. Others have also raised additional interesting issues with Dan's argument. ...

    Apart from the fact that Francis Kwarteng has written tales of nonsense without effectively contributing anything from his own opinion see the numerous common mistakes Kwarteng made:

    Dear folks,

    Read this from Woody Allen, the famous director, musician, playwright, writer, and American:

    You guys are quoting examples from history to prove what? That it is ok for an elderly man to consort with a person who can be his daughter? Pryce is right that it is morally wrong for a man to do that. Pryce never said it wa ...

    Teacher,

    Thank you for the clarity here. People like DR SAS, sometimes argue for the sake of argument simply because the they are informed about some silly legal precedents. The truth, a man who is not rapist under no ci ...

  • Teacher 9 years ago

    Omane, our customary laws do not frown on your 18 year old daughter marrying a 50 year old man whether the man is rich or not. Yes, we agree with your assessment.

    But the question is, on a MORAL point of view, is it a gre ...

    Thanks for asking a question which Teacher must now answer: By what "moral" yardstick is he seeking to judge the relationship between an older man and his younger consort?

    We are all agreed that there are no laws against such age disparities in relationships. None of us is saying there should be a law against that. We are also agreed that society doesn't frown on such things. None of us is sayi ...

    If the questions is morality, whose moral judgement are we apply to this issue?

    If you start asking whose morality, you risk putting yourself in a situation where you can justify anything because it will coincide with someone's morality.

    If you also say our society was this way but the white man came ...

    Just because your father at 49 married a 19 year old does not make it right. Seriously, what kind of conversation, activity or music etc., is common to couples with such an age gap? I believe any girl with self esteem and the ...

    I am sure majority of ghana women can attest to the huge lack of mack skills from a broad section of ghana men , not all.
