Should Prostitution Be Legalised In Ghana

Fellow Ghanaians,

Today, as we go about our normal duties let us remember that, there are some Ghanaians who cannot afford to meet their daily food let alone cloth themselves. This is so dangerous that, some have hunger panging at their stomach like the way we pound fufu in a mortar with a pistle.

Last week Wednesday, i happen to have passed by Kwame Nkrumah Circle and man come see, our sisters and mothers selling their body for a paltry sum of amount. This trend is worrying especially in a situation were their supposed "profession" has not been legalised in the country of "sufferings".

I was empathetic towards a beautiful lady who is also in the business of the day. Man! who caught my attention and held me spellbounded to study them comprehensively in order to see how they do their negotiations even in the face of fierce 'cheat' by some of our male customers.

One cannot begrudge them for the kind of business they engage in since their reasons are sometimes out of the ordinary.

Prostitution has been legalised in some countries and a tax deductible been championed. Ghana can benefit extensively from this line of business if and only we are able to spot this opportunity and bask in on the enormous profit or dividend the business promises.

The misery the prostitutes go through are many and i have been of the opinion that, our leaders formulate policies that ensures that they maintain stranglehood on our minds and actions. This nonsense must stop now.

Our destiny is in our own hands and we must be cautiously optimistic to see our future being formidable.

This is my thought - a humble thought of a frustrated Ghanaian student.
