Whoever came up with these statistics needs his head examined. Ghanaians don't do any research and just come up with numbers. How many children are even born yearly in Ghana by all women between the ages of 15-42? If we go by this statistics, it means more than 3million children are born or 3 million Ghanaian women become pregnant each years, that is ridiculous.

Believe me, not more than 50,000 in that age group become pregnant each year. In Ghana, most of these people in that age group would be in JSS and SSS, that is not true and somebody just want some NGO'S abroad to fund their lifestyle.

By this statistic, the Author want to tell Ghanaians that about 50% of all Ghanaian females in that age group becomes pregnant, BALDERDASH.

My husband stopped having sex with me since I was about 1 month pregnant at 19 yrs of age last year.He claimed its a bad luck to sex pregnant woman. I was and still in my prime age and my sex hormones were pumping at its peak when I was pregnant. I used to play with myself most of the time for 9 months when I was horny to discharge.I was in Ghana then so I had to obey his 3rd world nonsense belives of bad luck. Now if I were pregnant again and he refused to have sex with me then i'm sorry I have to find a boyfiend to grease me up in order to have alower degree pain during delivery.

Let's go the Arab way. The Arab Spring Revolution. Massive demonstrations nationwde, force the government to resign,come out with a contitution(union one )to get rid of the bottlenecks in our country Ghana. In the abundance of water the fool is thirsty. We are endowed with everything from gold to shea butter but we can't feed ourselves, because of corruption and greediness.

do we have law on under age sex. For all you know most of them even were raped, so what next. We should intensify public education on these issues and where to seek intervention and then the law take its cause.

I have more than 200 friends from Ghana, and over 75% of them have step father, step mother, step brother/sister. In Ghana the word BASTARD has no meaning because almost everyone in Ghana is a bastard.Its like the girls in Ghana are doing competition on producing bastard children. Most Ghana ladies have up to 4 children from different men before their 25th birthday.

Its more heart breaking that even the president of the country, John Mahama has more than 25 bastard children scattered all over the country.
