They enslaved themselves by signing up for this in search of glits, glamor, and quick money. They don't like the slow and steady income of selling ice water, too gb33, akala, and Koose.

Mercy Lord! Mercy! It is grown beyond proportion and no one seems to care! There are real stories where some of these girls are enslaved but sadly it has eaten into society in Ghana, where many so called celebrities engage in indirect prostitution and some of these young girls idolize whoring!

When the ambition of the youth is to be like Moesha then we have a major problem! When the ambition of young girls in Nigeria is to travel to Ghana and be employed as 'Hook up' then it is not only a Ghana, Nigeria problem.....It is an entire Africa problem. What are those you call leaders doing about it aside picking up these very girls in their land cruisers for "Short time" Wak up! You wonder why there are so many criminal elements lavishing in Ghana

GOD BLESS PRESIDENT KUFFOUR AND AKUFFO-ADDO! GHANAIAN WOMEN SUFFERED INDER THE ERSTWHILE AFRC/ P/ NDC MILITARY JUNTA & CIVILIAN ADMINISTRATIONS, BECAUSE OF THE SITUATION IN THE COUNTRY IN 1979 — 1999 GHANAIAN WOMEN TURNED TO PROSTITUTION IN MOST WEST AFRICAN COUNTRIES TO SUPPORT THEMSELVES AND THEIR CHILDREN, NOW THE TIDE HAS TURNED? OH GOD BLESS OUR LEADERS, ESPECIALLY AKUFO-ADDO AND KUFFOUR!

The recent study posited that Ghana is the fifth best governed country in Africa. And the best governed country in West Africa. One thing many people don’t realize is that the study also determines the best countries to live or do business with index. The best governed countries index plays major factor for determining the best countries to live in or do business with. You can also go and read the best countries and the best economic data this year. Poorly governed countries hardly perform better economically. I have always told you on this platform that almost every study this year point to Ghana as the best country in West Africa.

But under the NDC regimes starting from 1979–2000 and 2009-2016. Ghanaians became laborers in our poor neighboring countries in West Africa, including Togo, Burkina Faso, Nigeria, Cote d’ Ivoire, Benin among others. Our women engaged in prostitution whilst the young men worked as pimps, shoe makers, shoe shines, selling meat pies and other products on the streets.

Ghanaians should be grateful to God and NPP, especially Akuffo-Addo and Dr. Mahmoud Bawumia who have given every Ghanaian child the opportunity for better future through the Free High School and the free T-VET ( Technical Vocational Training Program). In the nearest future Ghana would be exporting more skilled nurses and other professional workers to the advanced countries. What a huge turnaround! The country that exported women prostitute as recently as 1999-2000 has now turned around exporting some of the best female nurses in the world! I SHALL RETURN!

Stephen Donkey, what have you been smoking??? Do you know how Ghanaians are suffering? People have finished nurses training school and have been sitting home for more than two years and you are here spewing this garbage??? People’s businesses have folded because of massive corruption under this government and people who are on scholarships have had their scholarship funds stolen by your party members. Do you know how these people are surviving? Do you know how many people are walking through the desert to Europe?

The so called “free” SHS is not free. I had to personally pay for about 6 students each year to make it to the schools.

Look at the massive corruption—this is what is driving innocent people into these vices.

Stop posting this nonsense. I thought you said you were a Christian. Your postings are a disservice to Christianity.

STOP YOUR UNNECESSARY POLITICAL VENDETTA AND POINT TO THE TRUTH OF SITUATIONS!

Who are those suffering? You idiots in the NDC make it seem as if Ghana is burning down. Nonsense! Do you know the amount of time I spend in Ghana every year? Sometimes I decide not to reply some of your stupid comments. Governments don’t make everyone happy or rich, governments creat opportunities for Companies and private sector companies to employ people.

Even in the US there are people who are unemployed, either they have been laid off from their jobs or hasn’t gotten the particular job they are looking for. I know we can’t compare Ghana to giant economy like the US, but having said that, we all can attest to the fact that some Ghanaians are inherently lazy. Others have also adopted to standards of living that’s beyond their means. And one of the major causes of the deep rooted corruption in our society. Don’t you read about the extravagant weddings and funerals in Ghana, even if you don’t partake in them?

All what I’m trying to put across is that Ghana today is way better than it has been since the 1970’s before all those military interventions started crippling our economy and subsequently subjecting our people to untold hardships that has bedeviled our country for years! And who told you that during the fee paying school years in Ghana parents were not also providing extra money for their children’s extra feeding and other expenses?

Your P/NDC party and its military junta has been Ghana’s bane. So stop posting those nonsense of yours because you are not making any sense! Alors!

You are in United States and still speak primitive. You have no idea about what goes on in Ghana or Africa as a whole. The government don't care about the youth. What the man is telling you about the nurses is true. Same with graduates from higher institution like university. They have no jobs. And the government closed the banks and added to the joblessness without to lay down plans for the unemployed. In USA where you are they have what they call government warfare or unemployment insurance. People who are not working get paid monthly in many countries in the western world and USA. So what? Politicians are corrupt and greedy stealing from the poor to lay up wealth for their unborn generations. You didn't wear the shoes so you don't know where it inches

Prince I was in Ghana for four months. I just came back to the US. Only lazy people are complaining about hardships in Ghana. Every gasoline filling stations is operating. Cassava plantains cocoyam, yam are available in five cedis. Even Beef, and other meats are available and cheap than what we get in the US. Because of politics some people are complaining about hardships, but go to restaurants and funerals there you will never find Ghanaians complaining about hardships but rather how popular they are. Ghanaians has to do some work and stop depending everything on the government. Go to Ghana and see what phones they are using but still complaining hardships because their way of stealing from the government has been blocked. Hypocrites

The entire prostitution story is centered around Nigerian girls in prostitution. Are there no Ghanaian prostitutes anymore in Ghana.? Why the targeted one sided profiling of Nigerian girls and pretend there are no Ghanaian prostitutes dotted everywhere across West Africa and even in Europe. I have once a stroll across the famous "Red Line Districts" in Amsterdam in Holland where the twi language is freely spoken from the brothels occupied by Ghanaian prostitutes. What do you say about that disgraceful habits of Ghanaians in Europe and everywhere even in Italy and Autralia. Keep on hiding your dirty linens from the public but the rest of the world knows how pretentious Ghanaians behave.

Every country have bad eggs come to Nungua our small girls are messed up at Italian boy. Before you count Nigeria girl 1 you will see 5 Ghanaian girls. Their madam are also Ghanaian guys and girls in some cases. We can blame Nigeria for everything but it will not help us as a nation to continue pretending that our people are not corrupt if not worse.

Prostitution is a capitalist way of life, where women have to sell their body to put body and soul together.
I lived in Accra New Town until I left Ghana in 1977 for further education abroad.
I heard of a trade by women who they call two-two, but never saw one.
I had an affair with Russians women who don't demand anything because its demean the dignity of a woman who sales her body to a man.
Then in 1980 I decided to visit Germany.
I first place of encountering prostitution was at the Checkpoint Charlie, just entering Western Berlin from Eastern Berlin.
I saw a choisk, thinking that bread or cakes were sold in it, rather to my surprise, a woman was selling her body in it.
The name was peep-show which is for 5 Marks. Those who will enter the choisk with her and have a feeling of her pay 18 Marks, and those who will enter her pay 25 Marks.
The capital of German prostitution is Saint Paul in Hamburg.
The capitalist keep some women from employment so as to make prostitute out of them.
And these activities are seen in all capitalist countries.

There are alot of Ghanaians doing same business even old women have their side of the same street. You can a elderly woman around there as well. They have been in the business even before the Nigerians came. You didn't go around and investigate those ones. Hypocrite and lazy journalism. find better stories to tell us.

Im not sure the authorities are doing their work well. Come to Osu, the landlords and landladies are heavily involved including small shop owners. Just walk on the Oxford street to Danquah circle through Koala shopping supermarket to Glory oil fuel station, purple pub and Africa pubs, one would see openly girls selling themselves for money. Also, Blue gate areas Osu, that is the centre of the sex trade. Sex is traded everywhere in Osu. The night market at Togo Embassy area is still open and the girls are there selling themselves.
As a lady growing up in Osu, I’m very disappointed in what I’m seeing. I pray that the authorities sit up.
