Go and see how Prez Mahama of Ghana has transformed Gonjaland with Ghana money just within the two and half years that he has been in power. Every town, village and hamlet in Gonjaland has received a facelift with new facilities such as roads, toilet facilities, markets, mosques, good quality water projects, electricity extension projects, etc. The question is did J. J. Rawlings do the same thing to Voltarians when he was in power for twenty years? What about Atta Mills. The good old Prof was in power for three and a half years yet he was not selfish to only concentrate on his people in Ekumfi Etuam and the central Region but rather his whole thought was for the general good. No wonder under the care of Prez Mills, Ghana achieved a growth rate of 11%, single digit inflation and the smooth implementation of the Single Spine Pay Policy where newly recruited police personnel received the nominal equivalence of 500dollars as monthly salary. Compare these achievements to the nepotism and selfish policies of the Mahama government that has crippled the Ghanaian economy. I really weep for Ewes and Fantis whose votes brought Mahama to power and yet are the hardest hit by the current hardship prevailing in the country.

I am still surprised that up till date our brothers in the north still practicing that ugly custom. They need to abolish it immediately.

U ARE RIGHT BUT WHY IS THE NORTH ALSO THE LEAST IN ASHAWO? GO TO ALL THE SOCIAL SITES LIKE BADO, WAPLOG AND THE REST AND SEE HOW MANY NORTHERN LADIES U CAN FIND COMPARED TO ASHANTI,GREATER ACCRA,EASTERN,WESTERN AND THEREST OF THE REGIONS.COME TO EUROPE AND GO TO THE RED LIGHTS AND SEE HOW MANY NORTHERN WOMEN U CAN FIND COMPARED TO THE OTHER TRIBES AND IN MOST AFRICAN COUNTRIES AND SEE HOW MANY OF THE NORTHERN WOMEN ARE PROSTITUES COMPARE TO THE REST OF THE TRIBES IN GHANA APART FROM EWE, SO THINK TWICE,DO NOT LET THEM STOP SCHOOLING BUT GET THEM TO MARRY THAN TO LEAVE THEM TO BECOME POBLIC PROPERTY.
SOME OF OUR TRIBES EVEN SEND THEIR MARRIED WOMEN TO PROSTITUTION TO BRING THEM MONEY, and they see themselves as the best tribe in ghana

So David send messengers and took her, and SHE CAME TO HIM AND HE LAY WITH HER.. Then she returned to her house; and she sent and told David, I am with child. David called her husband, and invited him, and ate in his presence and drank, so that he made him drunk. In the morning David wrote to Jo'ab, "Set Uri'ah in the forefront of the hardest fighting, and then draw back from him, that he may be struck down and die. When he died David sent and brought Uri'ah's wife to his house, and she became his wife.

What burden is this northern regional minister talking about?its rather changing for the best as compared to the past,again what plans has the government ve for the girl child when they neglected vocational education,they should spare us the English and fix the economy that's collapsing.The world new found friend call human rights,is nothing but to make intelligent and learned people stupid,why?now homosexuality is gradually becoming a right in the world,do you how many people who want to smoke wee openly the world over without being harassed by the police?not to talk about cocaine,why is the international community not advocating for the legalism of this as well?,a time ll come arm robbers ll fight for the right to kill to earn a living because they were created to be robbers.

Forced marriages are only prevalent in the Muslim communities. Learning from Mohammed who married Aisha at age 9
