Pastors and community leaders, please help address this phenomen!
How can you stop a 14year old who sleeps with his parents in a lotto kiosk from having sex?No television,no radio set absolutely nothing unless she walks out to entertain herself in a taxi car.
Teenage pregnancy is a big problem for almost every country in the world but I hate the exaggerations of statistics put out by many agencies in Ghana. This 750,00 teenage pregnancies among the 15-19 year old girls in Ghana ca ...

Integrity of statistics is another major problem and a challenge to affective planning and policy-making.
When I was last in Ghana, I investigated the impact of the SSS Education on our Youth and was so exasperated by my findings, and therefore believed this News Story of 750,000 pregnant teenagers:
Three years in Secondary Sc ...

that's a lot of fucking in a small country. is ghana the world leader in bonking then?
Are you sure this figures are correct? It is simply unbelievable. That's approximately 2055 pregnancies every day!
"These"
I think this is good.
We need more babies in Ghana so pregnancy is good!
Babies all over the place, because fathers have nothing to do but ejaculate! an Amina Yutong euphoria.
HOLD mAHAMA RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL THESE PREGNANCY, HE HAS IMPREGNATED AT LEAST 12 OF THEM INCLUDING VICKY HAMMER.GOD WILL DEAL WITH HIM INCLUDING ASIEDU NKETIAH.YAW BOATENG GYAN,AFARI GYAN
Parents and churches have to do more about this. Our youth have no ambition so they resort to easy but dangerous way of life
most Ghanaian males look pregnant too from their potbellies,
This shows how fertile Ghanaian men are! The world all over should take note as we may start impregnating internationally. We call it outsourcing.
mawriz, you made me laugh out very laud.

This cannot be true. With a population if 24 million, there cannot be more than 2.4 million teenagers. I cant see how one out of every 3 is pregnant.
How did they come to that conclusion?
The conclusion, within that 12 months period, one teenager may have been pregnant at least 3 times with abortions being the easy route for them.
Two of you are the product of such activities. That is why you both have no good sense of response
HMMMMM....POOR ECONOMY WITH HIGH FUCKING RATIO....GHANAIANS THEY MA FUCK TOO MUCH...BOYZ ABR3 ANSO WO P3 TW33.....

GHANABA 1 YOU ARE MAD IF PARENTS CANNOT TAKE CARE OF THEIR CHILDREN AND LET THEM GO ABOUT LIKE PIGS WHAT DO YOU EXPECT PREZ.MAHAMA TO DO? FOOLISH AKAN
women of this age like dicks more than anything
By what statistics did they arrive at that figure? were all these pregnancies reported at the health facilities, how many of them were aborted and how many have delivered? Let us be serious as a nation and be authentic.
Nana, it's not true. Read my post above. Somebody is trying to extort money from the sympathetic NGO's and they came out with this ridiculous number of teenage pregnancies.
Lets be frank, apart from sex what do black person know bring happy to his life? The next will be embarrassing. Beside that, next is to steal, tell lies, gossip, and all other evil activities. Looking at all above mentioned t ...

Sex is obviously more popular than facebook. Hahahahahaha. I crack myself up.

An eighteen-year-old girl tells her mom that she has missed her period For two months. Very worried, the mother goes to the drugstore and buys a pregnancy kit.
The test result shows that the girl is pregnant.
Shouting, cu ...

Promotion of condom use will not work. Educate the youth that sex outside marriage is a crime, that will work.
leave them to pregnant after all we are the less populated race in the world. if we follow the so call western countries we will vinish from the surface of the earth.
Impregnated teenagers? ask the immoral man we unfortunately have as a President Mahama and his criminally appointed ministers including Dauda who have 22 children between them.
It's a shame and a curse to have a bisexual P ...

Idiot writer do not have record for those babies born in Ghana last year,how he came up with that figure.
This is a serious issue. Most people who end up in jail in many countries grew up with no responsible fathers. There are too many single mothers around chasing innocent guys. A single young woman is now harassing me. I don't ...
