You have used the wrong models to illustrate your case.
Nana Aba and Zenator are bad news and not fit to represent single mothers

Anikyetor,well sorry that you did not enjoy both parents. this should serve as a desperate attempt for you not to repeat the same circle. as grown up person you should've sat your mother down and ask her some important issues which left her to be along to take care of you and allowed yourself to hear the other side.pls don't buy into any story as man even your own girl friend can get pregnant for you and deny you as a father. the most painful in it all is when a child is deny one of his/her
parents,these article to my point of view doesn't make much sense because it's looks like some one is happy promoting single parent agenda which in future would hurt their children at end of the day no body want to be alone.if you can have a boy/girl friend as sex partner then why running away from been a husband or a wife.be careful what's you wish for.

The writer of this article can't have her cake and eat it. Double standard is prevalent in every society, and also there is no equilibrium where supply exceeds demand.

According to the world count, women outnumber men 2 to 1; in China and India the ratio is 3:1. Also, we know in economics the result of price elasticity of supply (PES), and young women who don't this simple economics have themselves to blame.

Women to Men ratio is not only Ghana or African problem. It is the problem of the world at large, and that is why smart women like Beyonce in her platinum album 'All Single Ladies', tell women to ask their men to 'put a ring on it' if they like it. Chastity is the best policy for every young woman if she wants to be taken seriously by men.

@Kwabena Yeboah are you sure women outnumber men by 2:1 ratio. So for example, Ghana's population of 27million, that means 18million women and 9 million men? But every population census in Ghana is 51% women and 49% men. Try ...

@Kwabena Yeboah are you sure women outnumber men by 2:1 ratio. So for example, Ghana's population of 27million, that means 18million women and 9 million men? But every population census in Ghana is 51% women and 49% men. Try and reconcile that with your 2:1 ratio. I hope you are not one of those educated illiterates who claim that if we are to 'share' women to men then every man in Ghana will have four women. How pathetic.

There's a reason why they're single mothers. If they were fit as wife's they wouldn't be single mothers in the first place.

If so, then, Nana Aba is a single parent and Dr. Ezanetor is a single mother.
I stand for correction.

These young ladies will go after other people's husbands just because of materialistic needs. They want to own the latest iPhones and Samsung galaxies so they open their legs for sugar dadies to chop. Why can't nana Aba and mzbel for example mention the names of their baby fathers? I do not have sympathy for girls who become single after sleeping with married men or rich old men for money.

The more this problem persists the it shows the guys are being more irresponsible . There is no pregnancy without heterosexual sex.

I think she is a very bad example for this piece. If she really wanted to marry, she would have had some good man do marry her. Some men love 'born one' for several reasons. I know a man who married a 'born seven'. It all boils down to how you carry yourself around after such an experience. You can go about chasing rich who just want to have fun then turn around and Play the victim. That's hypocrisy to the nonsense degree. I don't know what know journalist we have in this country. This is Africa, you can't go about putting your silly immoral life into the public domain and then be expected to be treated like a 'precious gem'. Nana Aba doesn't command that respect for the piece. Immoral life is the order of the day amongst our so called "female celebrities" and they make it public with impunity. What a shame? Remember, fame with an immoral lifestyle breeds self destruction and nobody cares.

It's bcoz of cowards n idiots like ur type (de guys criticizing single mothers on dis page )that some ladies are single mothers!, some are becoming and some will become one-day! But Wat do see few of the ladies turn to give up, the majority of them get up, go out there, fight for themselves, fight for the children, fight to make up for the mistake they made and u are here criticizing them? Cowards!
Those men who have impregnated any lady out there n have denied it should be ashame of their actions. How do you (those Kind of men) Feel when u see that vulnerable lady u took advantage of and messed up become someone higher than you in society or someone u are rubbing shoulders with in society? ??

I'm pregnant and my child's grandparents told me I was selfish for choosing to have the baby because their son doesn't want to be a father so I'm selfish because according to them a child should have 2 parents not 1. I never told their son he couldn't be a father though. He decided that he didn't want to be. I asked what they thought about adoption even though I wanted to keep the baby and that idea was shot down as being selfish as well. The only non selfish thing to do according to them was abort.
