One of the women interviewed

Women of Ghana have expressed dissatisfaction on the spate of which some Ghanaian men constantly show interest in women from foreign countries.

According to them, this has increased the number of single women and hardship in the country.

In an interview with Joyceline Natally Cudjoe, the aggrieved women lamented that the women in Ghana already outnumbered the men whilst it has been impossible for them to share the men among themselves these men however increased their plight by marrying non Ghanaians.

“In Ghana here, women are more than the men even our men are not enough for us yet these men have abandoned us to marry from countries like Nigeria, Zimbabwe, and America,” they said.

Aunty Dorothy one of the aggrieved women said, it would be hard for Ghanaian women to stop moving from one pastor/ mallam to the other as the men were the reason for such behaviour exhibited by the women.

“Most times men say we women like going to see men of God and spiritualists but they have forgotten that their actions have driven us to see these spiritualists and men of God. If men are marrying us we will not be seen with these people but we will sit home peacefully,” she said.

Citing examples of Ghanaian men who have married from outside, they made mention of the late Kofi Annan, Chris Attoh, Elikem Kumordzie and Philip Frimpong who recently married pastor Chris Oyakhilome’s daughter.

Madam Irene mentioned that it was quite sad how the men left their own women to spend their money and resources to outsiders while the government of Ghana was putting in much effort for Ghanaians to promote made in Ghana products.

She explained that when people mention made in Ghana product it was not only meant for commodity but humans as well therefore men should appreciate Ghanaian women and marry them to ease the tension of the Ghanaian society.

She stated that Ghanaian women were working hard to support the men hence the men should complement their effort to make them complete by making them brides adding that this would increase resources and boost developmental agenda of the country.
