  Some women these days have become too ambitious and want to reap where they have not sewn. In schootherey want to use short cuts and get the best grades over their male counterparts to prove a point,they want to dress like workers on salary, they even want to drive private cars whilst schooling, go for holidays oversees. Meanwhile some of them are even from poor homes. At workplaces they want to rise faster than their male counterparts and get everything good to themselves. The result of all these huge desires is that they open their thighs very wide like crocodile's mouth for the DIABOLO men to turn into snakes and enter, that's all! This writer should not disturb my ears.

  This hidden, barbaric cancer in our schools, universities and work places must be exposed widely but first women must gather the courage to speak up and tell it like it is so that men don't hide under a name like "mrs Rawlings" to add insult to injury. Women--respond to this article in your thousands and describe what is happening to you at the hands of these predators.

  Exercise patience and research to find out whether what I am saying is not the truth. Women simply disrespect their clasmates and working colleagues because they are connected to big men.

  Mrs Rawlings,
  You've used some profane language here! As a result, any good point you made is muddled with all that sorry language.

  Mrs Rawlings,
  You've used some profane language here! As a result, any good point you made is muddled with all that sorry language.
  
  That said, we will say that there might be some ladies that behave as you say.
  
  However, if you have sisters and a mother, you will agree that the vast majority of ladies/women in Ghana do not exhibit the behavior you rattle off so easily.
  
  More important, you should agree with us that Ghana's women and girls, for all intents and purposes, do not have the same right, same incentives, same treatment, even in their own homes; let alone in the halls of government and schools.
  
  That, we submit, is a major point from Ms. Nana Fremah Busia. So, we are mighty glad we've disturbed your "ears".
  
  How about apologizing on behalf of your Mothers, Sisters, Grand-mothers. Nieces, etc., all over Ghana.
  
  Peace!

  Mahama(a Gonja) is following the prescriptions of OIC.You remember a Muslim MP from Gonjaland declared that adulterous women should be stoned to death. Again Boko Haram in Akyem terrorized Muslim women for buying food from Christians yet the IGP(a Gonja Muslim) kept mute. Muslims burnt down a Christian mission house in Atebubu yet the IGP was again silent. AMA banning churches in classrooms, Northern Regional Minister accusing the Christian clergy of encouraging politicians to be corrupt. These are all plans aimed at suppressing Christianity to please the OIC. These are all indicators that Mahama is feverishly handing over Ghana to the Organisation of Islamic Countries for Money. We should remember Islam is useless without direct state support and so Mahama is providing that support to Muslims to grow in Ghana whilst at the same time suppressing Christians.

  Another strong voice, after the last one regarding the goings-on in Ghana's Parliament as well.
  
  
  READ: "...Sex is required in our classrooms, lecture halls, offices and boardrooms, Sex is required as a condition of employment, sex is overtly and covertly extracted in ‘quid pro quo ‘ propositions as a prerequisite to sustain a career and for training opportunities and promotions; Sex for wages, sex for public services, sex for contracts, sex for grades, sex for life!..."
  
  
  OUR COMMENT: Strong, sharply-worded, and necessary statement.
  
  It is about time political leaders began addressing these issues. The last we heard, sexual harassment was occurring even in Parliament, with young women in training, without their "willing" consent. As such, we are a tad surprised Ms. Nana Fremah Busia did not directly address that other important aspect of the larger problem in Ghana's Parliament, with respect to Ghana's MPs and other officials in those facilities.
  
  Strong voice on such and important issue, we dare say!
