They want material things like latest hand set especially electronic devices to fill advance. So we also take advantage over them.

As usual, dumb, lazy Government officials pluck a random magic number from their dense brains, throw it out there, and inflict an ignorant population with even more ignorance.

Do you even realise that claiming that there are 750,000 teenage pregnancies in one year alone, boils down to more than 2000 FRESH TEENAGE PREGNANCIES EVERY SINGLE DAY THROUGHOUT THE YEAR?

TWO THOUSAND FRESH TEENAGE PREGNANCIES EVERY SINGLE DAY IN A SMALL COUNTRY LIKE GHANA?

Where are the stats? Where are the facts? Where is the evidence? Even Nigeria, with a population of around 180 million, does not make that spurious claim!

In a country where data collection is almost non-existent, Ghana Govt. policies are not based on empirical scientific evidence, but on any random magic inflated number, so that they can go for a big loan somewhere to loot.

Alas, Africa's problem is the proliferation of dense, inept, and mentally lazy charlatans into politics and governance.

While the developed countries will only vote in, or appoint brilliant minds to govern them, we suffer these visionless, inept and unpatriotic imbeciles to mismanage, loot and drag us backwards.

No wonder we're stuck in the 18th century.

I am sure most of them are from Volta. That is what Volta men are doing to their teen girls. Those men who like young girls must be castrated and let them bath those girls for the rest of their lives.

Hey ! Dzigaman, whatever your name is; know that pedophilic is not pride that you can boast of it.So, you think, Ewes are handsome? How do you define handsome Ewes men are the mos ugliest men on the globe with inward looking attitudes.

Stop sleeping with teenage girls that results in pregnancy. Ghanaians know that you Ewe men sometimes sleep with young girls purposely for your voodoo rituals. You must stop that. These young girls do not come to you because Ewe men are the most handsome men in Ghana. You do that because of your wickedness and your satanic activities. Stop that.!!!

You got it?

If the Deputy Minister use statistics to attribute the high rate of teenage pregnancy,she will found out that her ndc government policies has a huge part to play in this high rates of teenage pregnancy. This all boiled down to NDC incompetent government policies collapsing business, and making it harder for poor parents to put food on the table. How can a parents and teachers monitor his or her children when the economy is hitting them so hard? This problem doesn't take Einstein to figure this out. They are having sex because of economy hardships by incompetent ndc government.(brassco)

When teens come back from school and do not have light to study, all they do is what human beings do in darkness - have sex. It is, perhaps, the only thing left that does not require lights.

So sad our homes are broken without parents in control with education crumbled contributing to free sex on the streets for peanuts to the hungry poor girls without any national social support or security.

Mahama led immorally incompetent government has destroyed every enviable national ethics, culture, education system with unbearable social economy, no more self respect, religion and fear of God which was the medium of abstaining from youth sex in the country.

We are still holding on and encouraging out dated trokosi slavery in the Volta region where young innocent girls are given as sex slaves to some unscrupulous dirty stinky akpeteshie drunkard village sangomah chiefs.

We disgustingly encourage innocent village girls to come down to the cities instead of engaging them into some meaningful vocational training only to be trapped into prostitution and kayaye business.

What a man we unfortunate have as President of this once noble country, Ghana.

Pathetically today, Ghana is made one of the poorest of the most poor nations in the world, why won't the hungry little unprotected homeless girl open up for bread. So sad.

It is quite sad to hear a Govt official using such unreliable data. I was only waiting for such data to come from NGOs lying their way to get funding but for a Govt Official... No wonder where we are today.

Sex education from home. Most parents find talking about sex education such a Taboo in Ghanaian society. How can a father or mother sit their kids down to talk about sex. Even when reading the bible with kids you come across verses and chapters that talks about sex and parent jump to something like Jonah in fish belly or lions den. Sex education is not part of the teachers job to do especially in situations where they don't even have chalk to teach the kids. There should be awareness topics and forums to enlighten the youth of today obsessed with material things and hence just use sex as a way of exchange . Parents who fall short should be made to pay fines for lack of moral upbringing.

If parents cannot afford basic needs for their teenage girls they engage in early sexual acts. Only a hand full don't. Keep those teenagers busy with skills.

The solution to these problem is sex education and making condoms readily available to teenagers who may not be able to abstain from sex. we have to be real in our beloved country. The hypocrisy is too much.
