The woman must be recognized more than we do today in Ghana.
The woman must share 100% the success of her nation. What I mean is equal partnership, and if we fail to do that we will have no progress.
We must offer equal education, equal access to governance and equal distribution of wealth.
Those days when the walk behind his wife to farm, and the woman carried food home, cook the meal while the man did nothing must be a thing of the past.

Konadu has been empowered to rule in JJ's house. She decides when she wants to form a new political party, dumping her husbands, and to run for the hightest office of the land. This WOMEN EMPOWERMENT thing is a non-issue in Ghana; the women are already empowered and can take over your home.

When Kwaku Baako informed us about the atrocities of Kwesi Pratt during PNDC Regime, some of us did not believe until the truth was confirmed during the NRC. Kwesi Pratt is the most dangerous Journalist Ghana had ever have, he had the gut to recommend his fellow journalists to be executed by PNDC. Pratt even recommended Baako to be killed by the regime, thank God Baako was instead touchered violently and severely but his life was spared. This is what Kwesi Pratt can do. Now Pratt is a secret agent to NDC and US Embassy in Ghana. May God forgive Pratt and spare him the untold evils that will come upon him and his generations. The souls of those journalist killed through Pratt's recommendations to PNDC will never forgive Pratt. Now Pratt has the guts to take Diplomatic Passport and smuggled his weak-headed children to work at the Ministries under Mills NDC, may God forgive Pratt and his dependance and spare them of the evils ahead of them...

Wow this is a brilliant piece, My mother single-handedly took care of me, when i lost my father at a tender age, no help from both sides.

God bless my mother and the entire virtuous womanhood across the global.

It is Rawlings greed that has set many young people into disempowerment. Schooling under trees has been the accepted norm in Ghana. Shame unto you all.

THIS WOMAN IS IGNORANT OF HER PAST. WHO EMPOWERED YAA ASANTEWAA OF BLESSED MEMORY TO LEAD THE BRAVE ASANTE WORRIERS TO RESIST BRITISH IMPERIALISM. READ BOOKS, BUT REFLECT ON THE IDEAS AND CHECK THEM AGAINST YOUR OWN HERITAGE. WHO NOMINATES THE KING? THE OBAA PANIN OF THE ABUSUA. INSTEAD OF IMITATING WHITE PEOPLE, TELL THEM TO LEARN FROM US. LOOK AT YOUR SO-CALLED MODERN IDEAS- THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH. HOW MANY WOMEN ARE IN THE CONCLAVE TO CHOOSE THE POPE?

An investigative journalist went to Afghanistan to study the culture and was shocked to discover that women were made to walk ten paces behind the men. She asked her guide why and he said, "Because they are considered of lesser status." Outraged the journalist went home. A year later she returned covering violence in the region and was surprised to see the women walking ten paces ahead. She turned to her guide and this time asked, "What has changed?" The guide answered, "Land mines."

Konadu is not a positive role model for Ghanaian women, simple.

What is she talking about? What does she know about empowerment? By giving them identification haircuts, putting the fear of God in them and sending our children abroad for the best education the world can offer. This woman is a bloody hypocrite.

What she and her husband, Efo J.J. Rawlings have done to Ghanaian women since they surfaced in 1979 set women back decades, in particular market women and business women. It made them scared and submissive. They are still subjected to beatings, sexual assault and abuse daily.

As a result of the atrocious human rights abuses, many of our women and men ran away to foreign lands to do odd jobs. Many of their children were forced to abandon their education.
Konadu quickly enriched herself with state coffers and acquiring state organisations cheap whilst crippling the rest of the indigenous women financially, emotionally, physically and sending some to prostitution in Agege, Abidjan, Italy, Holland and the rest.

Thanks to Konadu and JJ, Ghanaian women round the world have little respect. They have low self-esteem and many have become drug couriers. Several are in prisons round the world and in mental institutions.

Ghanaian women are best known for cleaning jobs, auxilliary nursing and care work. Some have no time to deal with personal hygiene and several have chlamydia and other STDs. HIV is over 25%.

Konadu should leave Ghanaian women alone. She lured some with money and set up the 31st December Women's Movement as a political instrument to win power for herself and her family. The Ghanaian women in her party, the NDC of which she is a founding member, did not vote for her. Why should we listen to her now? She should change her mindset about Ghanaian women. She treated them with contempt for years without any apologies. Now her daughters are doctors and lawyers living it big abroad.

Konadu gave her daughter her blessing to snatch another woman's husband, Herbert Mensah. Their living arrangements in the UK beggars belief.

It is abominable. Nobody in their right mind should take any notice of her. She will never be president of Ghana. She is not our leader and she is not a positive role model for us. She should shut up on International Women's Day and mothering Sunday. All the human rights abuses will come back to haunt her, mark my word!!
