Oh but this lady. I think she was so angry and eager to speak that she wasn't even listening to what the president was saying. What she is asking the president to do is what he had already said he has done.

I'm a woman though but I believe sometimes in the quest to justify actions and inactions, some women fail to be patient enough to listen and make the necessary conclusions regarding matters such as this. These feminists need to tone down at times. Really not worth the energy sometimes.
"You and I need to have dinner..." is such a loaded statement. It wasn't even a request. It's at best a poor attempt at a joke and at worst condescending and disrespectful to any president considering it's not coming from another president. A lot of people (men and women) have good ideas. Not a lot of them have the wisdom to win hearts with their ideas because of their attitude, demeanor etc.
The painful bit is she didn't say anything extreme too. Even a high school kid knows what she was saying. She rather needs lectures from the president on how to get things done. Some people want to just point out the faults in everything but when their mistakes are pointed out; they become defensive.
Of course. But if those in power have a prejudice against women and think that they are fundamentally inferior to men in decision making, in work ethic, in tempermant etc. your competence no longer speaks for itself. If you are passed over for leadership positions because you just got married and they're scared you might get pregnant and go on maternity leave, it doesn't matter how good you were. If companies push you out of your hard won position while you were on your maternity leave and make something up to fire you after you come back, that will set you back... Competency is important and I stand with you on it, but in order for a meritocracy to be completely fair the world must be fair, and that's simply just not the case...
Buhara is a disgrace compared to the Ghanaian president. When Buhari speaks English you almost need a translator to understand what the hell he is talking about.
@@signal1759 I have watched Buhara interview with Amanpour talking about anti-corruption summit as a Ghanaian I testify to his what you are saying and when he was speaking there was a translator on the screen. Also, he is not confident in what he is saying.
I am muslim and that is why i dont see those waering jidjab as role models. In Islam, u have to respect a leader no matter which congregation he belongs to. Why talk to him and turn around him like he is ur cook. Wear hidjab just for show but don't know anything about her faith.
Why is she all over his space? Fall back Lady ! He’s not your co-equal. He’s a president of a country, respect that. Women need to strive to do more for themselves instead of tearing each other apart,and blaming their lack of advancement on honorable men.
I did computer science and engineering in UmaT, in my class we had 49 boys and 3 girls. What can be done? Should we lower the entry requirements for women? No! They should be encouraged to do more so they can make it! They should be told to stop slaying on socail media and learn! Simple and they will be in a better position to chosen to lead.
Exactly I went to UMat too and I got in through the gender mainstreaming programme, meaning I was chosen over some boy who better qualified simply because I was a woman. That's not fair.
@@rubyafortude8558 this has always been the case in Ghana. A male will need aggregate 07 to be enrolled in a certain course whilst a female will need aggregate 10 for the same course... The President was right in everything he said because if you are a lady in Ghana and you avail yourself small naa the push you will get is outrageous but there will be males who are at par with you yet they are pushed to exploit their full potential.
Will the lady have the same energy if it was in her home country. Thank God for a man like His Excellency President Akuffo Addo. Women can be themselves like this and even heckle him. God bless you Mr President.
We're not Lucky, please. If you knew the nonsense going on in Ghana, you wouldn't ascribe any meaning to anything that comes out of his mouth and I'm not speaking as a feminist, by the way.
The Ghanaian president is making a lot of sense, explaining what he believes the solution to be and what he has done in his capacity to push and apply those solutions. So I don't get what's wrong with his statement. No one has all the answers to these questions. We can always all do more to help achieve real equity amongst all genders but let's not be too sanctimonious in chastising those who are actually walking the walk simply because we need them to do more. The truth is everyone has to do more including all the activists in that room.
The truth is always painful ...especially if u are talking to a dogmatic narrow minded person who won't accept anything else ...She's behaving rude by interrupting the President she have atleast waited for him to finish talking then she could respond ...
As an Afro-Caribbean, it makes me proud how Ghana resists those western misandrical ideals, feminism eliminates the confidence and motivation of men making the nation suffer a production deficit by draining all education only to women. The black women of Africa are hardworking, visionary and successful without the need for an ideology that tells them they are valuable, they know their worth and that is what I love most of them, that and their great beauty ;)
Women koraaaa, what actually do they want? today equal right, tomorrow they want power.... It looks like they don't know what they want. complications nkoaaaaaaaaaaa
😂😂 very funny indeed. I am a woman and I agree. 'gender equality' is an agenda from the devil. That definitely is not God's intentions for man. I am a career woman, and therefore have a solid voice outside of my house. But before I enter through the gates of my house, i put that voice on mute. my husband is the man of the family, he has to be the head and the solid voice of the house. God made it that way and therefore every sensible woman knows that she has to succumb to have a successful and happy marriage - blessed by God. Shalom to all my fellow Ghanaians

Mr President Akufo put it best. It is not the talks but the decisions. Women activists are good at talking and complaining. At the end of the day what matters is the decision.
Ghana is a free country where women are given the right to pursue their dreams. We don't hold anyone back. It's their hard work and determination that will determine their success. They have to be go-getters if they want it, just like everybody else.

President's can't just put women in power. The pepple vote. So society's mentality about women must first change. The Ghana President has no power to appoint 50% women just because they are women. They need to be approved, and voted for just like men are
What an embarrassment. They just tried ridicule this man. Man Power still shows, may Men never fall from this mountain of a pressure called radical feminism.
Ma,am , you are talking to the president of our country, please show some respect and decorum. He is just telling the truth, we women must seize the opportunity ourselves and influence decision, we should not expect to be spoonfed to the top. Women in Ghana are not being held back, we need to seize the opportunity to make impact.
chess.sm!le financial inclusion by introducing the Ghana reference rate in order to minimize cost of borrowing, sanitized the banking industry so now , not every Tom dick nd harry can wake up nd gather depositors funds and loot it for their personal gains , education now free second cycle education , this will help bring a lot of common sense cuz illiteracy as low as Jss has its own effects . 400,000 kids every year , are going to secondary school and it’s free of charge , Ghc 2,000 per head . Lotto burden off these struggling parents . I don’t do politics but these are meaningful things . He’s thoughtful. At least lake road is being constructed, tourism . Major bridges and roads being fixed to reduce traffic , empowering business thru 1d1f , and planting for food nd jobs , wen u back in Ghana get a farm , it’s easy to farm, after export that way our local currency gains strength . It’s a process nd we can get there .
This woman should give that amplify advice to Saudi King not a Ghanaian President. In Ghana women have sole right to elect Kings and have the liberty to live their normal life. You can't beat a woman and justify it with any law. Just to remind you Theresa May resigned in tears. Where were you? The best thing these Gender activists should fight for is for America to give the women opportunity to stand unopposed come the next presidential election. They have had enough men.

Whatever 'democracy' has become, it favors insult by covering it with a deceptive veil. The reason why Ghana is one of the most peaceful countries on the planet, regardless of the clearly distinctive religions and ethnicity, is because we respect one another. If that deceitful veil is removed one day, and an outsider behaves like this toward our leader again, the patriots of this nation will not shut up like how we did in the 1800's.

"You and I need to have dinner..." is such a loaded statement. It wasn't even a request. It's at best a poor attempt at a joke and at worst condescending and disrespectful to any president considering it's not coming from another president.
A lot of people (men and women) have good ideas. Not a lot of them have the wisdom to win hearts with their ideas because of their attitude, demeanor etc.
Having good ideas and being able to articulate is rare
The painful bit is she didn't say anything extreme too. Even a high school kid knows what she was saying. She rather needs lectures from the president on how to get things done. Some people want to just point out the faults in everything but when their mistakes are pointed out; they become defensive.
Why is she touching him,if you touch a woman that much from his position it might be considered sexual harassment.
See how she’s throwing her hands whiles talking to the President as if she’s his co-equal,,no respect👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽
@@Able388 imgine replying to a year old comment
co-equal? He is a civil servant, not a God. Fortunately for Ghanaian people have a good president but that is not to be confused with he is a God
That’s my president, respect that
Leadership should not be a matter of gender but competence
Of course. But if those in power have a prejudice against women and think that they are fundamentally inferior to men in decision making, in work ethic, in tempermant etc. your competence no longer speaks for itself. If you are passed over for leadership positions because you just got married and they're scared you might get pregnant and go on maternity leave, it doesn't matter how good you were. If companies push you out of your hard won position while you were on your maternity leave and make something up to fire you after you come back, that will set you back...
Competency is important and I stand with you on it, but in order for a meritocracy to be completely fair the world must be fair, and that's simply just not the case...
YOU NAILED IT!!! NO FREE HANDOUTS
I’m Nigerian and love this president, Just imagine Buhari here. Every women belongs to the kitchen, Buhari made the comment not me.
Did he really say that?

Buhara is a disgrace compared to the Ghanaian president. When Buhari speaks English you almost need a translator to understand what the hell he is talking about.
This got me rolling on the floor 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@signal1759 I have watched Buhara interview with Amanpour talking about anti-corruption summit as a Ghanaian I testify to his what you are saying and when he was speaking there was a translator on the screen. Also, he is not confident in what he is saying.
I am muslim and that is why i dont see those waering jidjab as role models. In Islam, u have to respect a leader no matter which congregation he belongs to. Why talk to him and turn around him like he is ur cook. Wear hidjab just for show but don't know anything about her faith.
He's right. They're not even interested in the point he's making.
She was really rude and he kept his composure like the MAN he is. This kind of loud-mouthed feminism wins no hearts and creates no allies.
it works in the west here in America sadly. They are trying to bring that disrespect to Africa, which will not work.
I don't think seats should be allotted to women. They should contest in elections as well. The rights of men also count.
Why is she all over his space? Fall back Lady ! He’s not your co-equal. He’s a president of a country, respect that. Women need to strive to do more for themselves instead of tearing each other apart,and blaming their lack of advancement on honorable men.
You right bro but hating on that woman is bullshit.
Paul MacPaul they live in the same house can't u tell
She would never do that in her original background... Shows the hypocrisy in some feminists.
I did computer science and engineering in UmaT, in my class we had 49 boys and 3 girls. What can be done? Should we lower the entry requirements for women? No! They should be encouraged to do more so they can make it! They should be told to stop slaying on socail media and learn! Simple and they will be in a better position to chosen to lead.
Exactly I went to UMat too and I got in through the gender mainstreaming programme, meaning I was chosen over some boy who better qualified simply because I was a woman. That's not fair.
@@rubyafortude8558 this has always been the case in Ghana. A male will need aggregate 07 to be enrolled in a certain course whilst a female will need aggregate 10 for the same course...
The President was right in everything he said because if you are a lady in Ghana and you avail yourself small naa the push you will get is outrageous but there will be males who are at par with you yet they are pushed to exploit their full potential.
@@rubyafortude8558 Exactly! Women make so much noise about gender inequality! Yet all they want is to make it unequal in their favour

The Ghanaian president is making a lot of sense, explaining what he believes the solution to be and what he has done in his capacity to push and apply those solutions. So I don't get what's wrong with his statement.
No one has all the answers to these questions. We can always all do more to help achieve real equity amongst all genders but let's not be too sanctimonious in chastising those who are actually walking the walk simply because we need them to do more. The truth is everyone has to do more including all the activists in that room.
agreed
The truth is always painful ...especially if u are talking to a dogmatic narrow minded person who won't accept anything else ...She's behaving rude by interrupting the President she have atleast waited for him to finish talking then she could respond ...
As an Afro-Caribbean, it makes me proud how Ghana resists those western misandrical ideals, feminism eliminates the confidence and motivation of men making the nation suffer a production deficit by draining all education only to women. The black women of Africa are hardworking, visionary and successful without the need for an ideology that tells them they are valuable, they know their worth and that is what I love most of them, that and their great beauty ;)
Women koraaaa, what actually do they want? today equal right, tomorrow they want power.... It looks like they don't know what they want.
complications nkoaaaaaaaaaaa
Exactly! They have become consumed with "gender equality" that they have forgotten how to be a Woman!!
It's always like this even in relationships
😂😂 very funny indeed. I am a woman and I agree. 'gender equality' is an agenda from the devil. That definitely is not God's intentions for man. I am a career woman, and therefore have a solid voice outside of my house. But before I enter through the gates of my house, i put that voice on mute. my husband is the man of the family, he has to be the head and the solid voice of the house. God made it that way and therefore every sensible woman knows that she has to succumb to have a successful and happy marriage - blessed by God. Shalom to all my fellow Ghanaians
I think they would end up impregnating their fellow women 😂😂

You hit the nail on the right spot Mr President. You have energized people like me who are desiring to be there to make decisions.
And you have made like a 100000 comments LOL!
Mr President Akufo put it best. It is not the talks but the decisions. Women activists are good at talking and complaining. At the end of the day what matters is the decision.
She should have made her research well before arguing with the president.
Ghana is a free country where women are given the right to pursue their dreams. We don't hold anyone back. It's their hard work and determination that will determine their success. They have to be go-getters if they want it, just like everybody else.

Actually she didn't say the same thing. She is calling for even worse, trust me. These feminists want everything we men worked hard for.

@@ZackBite The fact is that they are so hung up with feminism that they have forgotten what it means to be a WOMAN!! I started to have the same views as you about marriage, and people thought I was crazy. Why is Marriage so overrated??
@@ZackBite My dear it's some women and not all. Generalising this makes you worse than a woman who is a hoe. Bear in mind that you generalising also includes you mother and sisters in the list....therefore you are directly or indirectly calling then bitches and hoes also which I believe is not a healthy sign coming from a human being presumably rational or intellectual. Kindly know that it's not all. Some women are very ambitious yes, but in the quest to make it in life, they do not disrespect men as you think.
It's called Equality not Favourism. One can't be served just because of gender. The Feminist should understand that.
You are a wise President.
The door is closed else where for women, not in Ghana.
Her attitude is the reason why women do not need empowerment.coz they they are already empowered in many ways.it is a shame that such a woman has been given the opportunity to talk about women.

Thank you Mr. President, Ghana is proud of you.
They want to hold more power just because they are women? There is no rule saying it should be 50/50. It should be based on merit and capability, regardless of gender.

Oh was very interesting argument by my president. Women listen to what he is saying and follow it
You better tell your foolish president to patern down he is in no position to say anything about what women chose to do.When people said africa should clean their continent,did you listen and follow and why should I listen to a man who can't even clean his country
Whao, this Ghanaian president is so well spoken, Buhari of Nigeria couldn’t hold this kind of discussion.
Women must know their place, equal in God's sight yes, but our roles are different...like it or not man was created to be the head,woman to follow his lead...
Since u are generalizing, let me also respond in like manner.....if as men u believe your role is to lead and ours is to follow then pls men do just that and stop leaving your post n the steering wheel unmanned often times..... Maybe u dont live in this parts of our world......lemme waka pass la

There is know system in Ghana that keep women from their right
There is only a system of women not wanting to be leaders.
I have been saying this like 1000 times!
Massa you dey lie
What's the name of the system?
Addo forgot to tell them that Women have always been the rulers of Ghana
THINGS WILL NOT CHANGE FOR WOMEN IF THEY KEEP FEELING THAT THEY HAVE TO FIGHT TO GET THERE PLACE IN A WORLD THAT HAS TAKEN THE ENTIRE TIME SINCE HUMAN EXISTENCE TO CREATE THE WORLD AND NOW FEEL THAT MEN WILL JUST HAND IT OVER TO THEM JUST LIKE THAT WITHOUT PROVING BEYOND ACCEPTABLE DOUBT THAT IF THINGS ARE LEFT IN THE HANDS OF WOMEN,THE WORLD WILL BE A MUCH SAFER AND SENSIBLE PLACE AND GIVING MEN THE RESPECT AND HONOR THEY DESERVE.
Respect is earned
Who is the first female head of states of United states or of Canada or anywhere in the middle east ??
President's can't just put women in power. The pepple vote. So society's mentality about women must first change. The Ghana President has no power to appoint 50% women just because they are women. They need to be approved, and voted for just like men are
What an embarrassment. They just tried ridicule this man. Man Power still shows, may Men never fall from this mountain of a pressure called radical feminism.
Ma,am , you are talking to the president of our country, please show some respect and decorum. He is just telling the truth, we women must seize the opportunity ourselves and influence decision, we should not expect to be spoonfed to the top. Women in Ghana are not being held back, we need to seize the opportunity to make impact.
Thank you AJ! I believe it's high time some of these ladies understood that "bridging the gap" doesn't imply automatic access to the top for women.
There is nothing wrong with what the president said
Wow my president so wise Ghana 🇬🇭
I'm from the UK.. what has he done so far for you guys, if you don't mind me asking?
chess.sm!le financial inclusion by introducing the Ghana reference rate in order to minimize cost of borrowing, sanitized the banking industry so now , not every Tom dick nd harry can wake up nd gather depositors funds and loot it for their personal gains , education now free second cycle education , this will help bring a lot of common sense cuz illiteracy as low as Jss has its own effects . 400,000 kids every year , are going to secondary school and it’s free of charge , Ghc 2,000 per head . Lotto burden off these struggling parents . I don’t do politics but these are meaningful things . He’s thoughtful. At least lake road is being constructed, tourism . Major bridges and roads being fixed to reduce traffic , empowering business thru 1d1f , and planting for food nd jobs , wen u back in Ghana get a farm , it’s easy to farm, after export that way our local currency gains strength . It’s a process nd we can get there .

Just to remind you Theresa May resigned in tears.

The best thing these Gender activists should fight for is for America to give the women opportunity to stand unopposed come the next presidential election. They have had enough men.

Whatever 'democracy' has become, it favors insult by covering it with a deceptive veil. The reason why Ghana is one of the most peaceful countries on the planet, regardless of the clearly distinctive religions and ethnicity, is because we respect one another.
