Do your children know their father(s)? esese ntor
Come to think of it, what kind of moral example will madam be to young girls in our society? Am particularly concerned about young Ga girls. Because this is already a challenge where we have all these girls in Chorkor and its environs giving birth out of wedlock. While we are proud of her academic and other achievements, her moral bankruptcy is really a minus. Let us call a spade a spade and not a huge spoon! But why all the insult to the lady? And the counter insult of people's mothers and the NPP and vice versa?
I bleed in my heart for this like this, for the love of God what has the minister position got to do with marriage and children and alllll that.I wish there is a correlation. Akwadaa ahu daakye ama nani agye,nenso me panyin di3 afim mese.
I cry my beloved country. I am saddened every time I read the insults we hurl at each other on social media and on our media networks. It is no surprise that our dear nation finds itself in the situation it is today. The people with the expertise and know-how to get our dear nation working, are usually people who have already made it in life. If we keep up with the insults, no one with the know-how will want to serve in public office. The people who insult the most are usually the 'have nothings' and the never 'do wells' who rather than figure out ways to better themselves, allow 'small minded' and selfish individuals to use them to do their bidding. When Ghana works, all Ghanaians benefit irrespective of their political leanings or the political leaning of the government in power that made it work. Free education will benefit all Ghanaians just as the National Health insurance has. An economy that produces job opportunities will benefit all Ghanaians, not just members of the party in government. Let us learn to work together to make Ghana work for all Ghanaians. We don't have to agree on everything in order to work together to build mother Ghana. GOD BLESS OUR HOMELAND GHANA, AND MAKE OUR NATION GREAT AND STRONG.
@kuma..golo and kwame...all three of you came out from a ***barred word*** hollow watering [email protected] mammals....what about mahama who was sleeping around with women...legon girls and even police officers and akua donkor !!
Hannah Tetteh shd show her husband to those ndc members who are on this platform. Its all from the pain, jealousy and the humiliating defeat they suffered on December 9 so they can't think far hahahahahahahahaha ASHIMO EEEEE!!! NPP all the way!
The npp ladies you describe as ***barred word*** are women of substance .well educated and firm who can make good decisions to move this country from this mess and are far better than some of your ladies who are liars.stealers. disrespectful insulting and bootlickers who only walk with rheir stomachs.
NPP is proud of every ***barred word*** thing including prostitution. Even drug barons are in government and we have a cocaine sniffing leader. Ministers in charge of prostitution are Gloria Akuffo and Adjoa Sarfo.
I am 100% in agreement with Attorney-General and Minister of Justice to be, for disclosing her marriage status and motherhood of her two children, even though she did not have to. I believe she wanted the information to be in public domain ahead of those who might capitalized on her failure to disclose that personal information to damage her reputation and chances to get confirmation for the office Nana has nominated her. I pray and hope that she'll sail through without any unnecessary holdup because she's well qualified academically and have had years of experience on the job.
