WOMEN ARE CREATED TO SERVE UNDER AND SATISFY HE-MAN LIKE ME ON THE BED, AND IN THE KITCHEN COOKING.

THEY ARE TOO EMOTIONAL AND SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED IN IMPORTANT MATTERS LIKE ME LIKE ME.

IT IS THE NATURAL LAW. STOP THIS GRADUAL AND CONTINUING ENCROACHMENT ON MEN'S RESPONSIBILITIES BY WOMEN. THEY SHOULD NOT EVEN BE ALLOWED TO VOTE, LEAVE THE BEDROOM AND KITCHEN

Very ignorant man who can read and write but have no sense whatsoever. God Bless the poor woman who sleeps next to you or cook for idiots like you. She will have the gut to stand by you if you make such foolish statement. No wonder, you wallow in your abject poverty and ignorance. ENJOY YOUR DISEASE AND STOP SPREADING IT.

Women who act like women are treated like women. women who think "men and women are the same" can be treated like competitors or even enemies.

Mrs Rawlings, good lecture and good advices to our kids in the Takoradi Polytechnic university. However, I will suggest you don't always see the problems of our society through the sexual prism. It is as if you get political power you will discriminate men!There is no problem between men and women as long as each of them knows his place within the couple. Remember you have been created from a man. All civilizations know it even the lost westerners know it better. With equal qualifications in almost all the western countries women are always less paid. France is a big democracy but it is only around 1958 that their women were allowed exercise their right to vote. So just subject yourself to your husband and you will secure your place in his house forever. Men do not like the women who challenge them. Do not trust movies as what happens in the movies does not exist anywhere in this life. watch indian movie and go to visit India and you will see the difference. As regard the youth, please, learn from Nana and do better than her. God bless Nana Konadu and her family! Amen.

When the British people are jubilating over the death of Margaret Thatcher ghanaians are praising her.What about Mrs Indra Ghandi of India and Bandarnaika of Ceylon{now called Sri Lanka) who were very effecive and uncontroversial leaders in their respective countries? Margaret Thatcher was a racist,a colonialist,a supporter of apartheid and called Nelson Madela a terrorist.

At last our ex-prez wife is talking sense. Put all political nonsense going on, she is making really good statements, which I hope she uses her position to act on it within her capability. Every nations development can be progressed when both sexes are given equal opportunity to take positions in the interest of the society. Women have always been the majority suppressed to the detriment of the minority and the society as a whole. It is very sad to note that during her tenure as a first lady, not much can be written about her work in empowering women and supporting children.

YES MRS. RAWLINGS HAS SAID IT ALL.WOMEN ARE PARNTERS IN PROGRESS FOR MEN MORE GREACE TO YOUR ELBOW. MRS.NANA KONADU IS GREAT.SHE HAS BEEN A BIG EYE OPENER TO MANY GHANAIAN WOMEN,AND WE HAVE ACTUALLY MISTREATED HER AND HAVE FAILED TO EVALUATE HER CONTRIBUTIONS,WHICH IS VERY UNFORTUNATE,SOME TIMES WE THROW AWAY THE BABY WITH THE DIRTY WATER BUT THAT SHOULD NOT BE THE CASE.
THIS I THINK SHOULD BE CHANGED.MRS NANA KONADU IS A VERY BIG ASSET TO GHANA AND WE SHOULD NOT FORGET THAT GREAT WOMEN OF THIS NATION WILL COME FROM OUR DIFFERENT PARTIES NOT ONLY FROM OUR PREFERED PARTY,AND THAT IS THE BEAUTY OF LIFE,IT CAN BE FROM DIFFRENT RELIGION, DIFFERENT TRIBE OR DEFFERENT EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND NOT NECCESARYLY OUR PREFERED CHOICE BUT WE MUST LEARN TO TOLERATE EACH OTHER AND COLLECTIVELY WE SHALL GATHER THEM FROM ALL WORKS OF LIFE,SO DONT CRUSIFIED OUR MOTHER AND ROLE MODEL BECOS OF WHERE SHE IS COMING FROM.MAY BE ONE OR TWO THINGS THAT SHE MIGHT HAVE GOTTEN WRONG,TO ERR IS HUMAN BUT TO FORGIVE IS DIVINE.
I HAVE ALWAY WISH THAT WE COULD HAVE A CLUB WHERE ALL OUR GREAT WOMEN FROM DIFFERENT POLITICAL PARTIES,DIFFRENT RELIGIONS,DIFERENT TRIBES AND DIFFERENT EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUNDS COULD COME TOGATHER MEET TALK AND PLAN FOR THE BETTERMENT OF OUR NATION.
I WILL CALL ON ALL WOMEN'S GROUPS TO HONOUR MRS RAWLINGS FOR THE ROLE SHE HAS PLAYED AS A STATES WOMEN AND ACHIVER,MIND YOU IF YOU REFUSE TO GIVE RECOGNITION TO HER CONTRIBUTIONS NOBODY WILL GIVE RESPECT TO YOU WOMEN.AND LIKE THEIR SAYING GOES,"WOMEN ARE THEIR OWN ENEMIES".
WE CANNOT BUILD A NATION LIKE THAT.ALL OUR GREAT AND RESPECTED WOMEN MUST BE OUR IDOLS,NANA KONADU HAS BEEN A SUCCESSFUL WOMEN BY ALL STANDARDS,IN HER WORK,WITH HER MARRIAGE,WITH HER CHILDREN, EVEN HER OWN LIFE SHE HAS MENTAINED HER NICE AND SWEET POSTURE WITH DECORUM WHICH UP AND COMING CHILDREN COULD LEARN FROM,LETS GIVE HER THAT DUE RESPECT AND GREAT WOMEN CAN BE MADE OUT OF HER.WITH LOVE AND RESPECT I SAY TO HER AYEEKOO,I SALUTE HER.LONG LIVE NANA KONADU,LONG LIVE MOTHER GHANA.

A mild-mannered man was tired of being bossed around by his wife so he went to a psychiatrist.
The psychiatrist said he needed to build his self-esteem, and so gave him a book on assertiveness, which he read on the way home.
He had finished the book by the time he reached his house.
The man stormed into the house and walked up to his wife.
Pointing a finger in her face, he said, “From now on, I want you to know that I am the man of this house, and my word is law! I want you to prepare me a gourmet meal tonight, and when I’m finished eating my meal, I expect a sumptuous dessert afterward. Then, after dinner, you’re going to draw me my bath so I can relax. And when I’m finished with my bath, guess who’s going to dress me and comb my hair?”
“The funeral director,” said his wife

"Homeless man Dominic Reed, 45, was arrested by Orlando police on charges of sexual battery with a weapon, home invasion robbery, armed kidnapping and aggravated battery on a person older than 65 after he reportedly forced his way into the victim's William Booth Towers apartment, grabbed a knife, cut her clothes off and raped her over the weekend. Reed signed in when he entered the building and is seen on surveillance video. The apartment is provided by Salvation Army, which said it has 24 hour staffing at the building and security at night. The organization is investigating how Reed got inside the victim's apartment. Reed has a prior criminal record for grand theft, burglary and drug charges. His '82 yr old' elderly victim was hospitalized in stable condition."
