Ghana Poverty: Ama's story

[agoro11]

The people in this video doesn't look like Ghanaians. Even the uniform of the nurse standing by the incubator can prove that this video is fake.This is NOT Ghana.

[bigaallaann]

If your that concerned about this matter why don`t you get law enforcement agencies involved? Child prostitution is an ugly fact worldide besides human traffickers.

I live in the UK and sick of charities wanting money for Africa..

Chidren in Need,Comic Relief,newspaper adverts etc, Millions of pounds have been raised but you NEVER see on any of these programs where the money has been spent or what its done in helping!

[lastkay]

but the reality is that this is not Ghana,the images are not from Ghana,the story may be from Ghana

[ghanagal7]

look this is all sad and stuff but this is happening all our the world and i feel 4 ama but they make gh seem llike a poor place we have mall movies threaters hotel clubs u name it i mean in the village pple live freely and even if there poor they still make di best of situations but this is gud why nt make gh a better place no harm in that and to storm 197 not all gh men leave there babies and men leaving there children is a world wide thing so dont act like its just ghana alone

[hobbgee]

Look here whoever post his video - don't you have prostitudes in your country?

Aren't prostitutes in the US and Europe? So what drives them into prostitution even in the midst of abundance wealth when they could easily find a good job?

Whats the big deal if this girl is poor and a prostitute? Arent poor people every where in the world-so whats your sweat?

Where ever you come from we don't need people like you always portraying us in a demeaning way.

For we know you people far too much.

[storm1978du]

those africans just multiply with no idea of family planning..african men leave their babies..should i send 10euros to feed african child?hell no..my son would have to feed 7 of them

[hobbgee]

You have got nothing so "Get the fuck off" - sucker!!! we do not need crackers here to talk trash and insult us. IDIOT!

[AbcSchoolOfPolish]

Very compelling story. Thanks for sharing.

[smegaldy]

Seriously everyone, calm down. This is not an insult to anyone. It was made to raise awareness of what SOME people, NOT EVERYONE is experiencing right now. We know it's not true for everybody, we know there are many rich and wonderful places in Africa. I agree with rutchie07 :)

[besmart78]

lol thst because ur white you want us to think of tht leave our country alone

[smegaldy]

I am white, and damn, there's so much crap going on in the world right now, this could be about somebody from anywhere; the fact that this video is about Ghana is coincidence, would you be complaining if it was about someone in America or Germany or France? Like I said, the point of this video is not to insult, but how can anyone do anything about what they don't know about? Does this mean huge charities like Comic Relief are insulting, too? We know full well it can get really bad everywhere.

[besmart78]

yah this is a insult ghana isnt usually like this your setting a stereotype of a usual how a african country would look like which uis not true and to let u know ghana is one of the richest country in africa and the ppl in the villages dont care how poor they are they are free poverty is a lie in ghana this person is horrible ( NOT ALL OF GHANA LOOKS LIKE THIS WE HAVE A CITY YOU KNOW AND A MALL TO AND ALSO MOVIES THEATERS AND CREWS HOTEL) WHAT YOU SEEING IS A LIE!!!!!

[rutchie07]

hey!!!you should not be defensive. Poverty in one's country is something that we all need to address. We need to question the concept of development that our government and powerful leaders have. The beauty and development of one's country is not measured by MALLS, THEATERS, HOTELS but we should ask ourselves if these developments are serving the needs of the people or only serving the interests of the powers-that-be!!!!!

[hobbgee]

Why shouldnt he be defensive? is what he is saying not true? please!!!

[TammysCakes]

I think itsd great that people are noticing things like this, and allthough alot of bad things happen in ghana and other african countries im sure good things happen too, which is why i like this video. Bad things happen in many countries and i think some of the recent comments on this video are just plain rude and show they obviousley dont care! Good video x

[Camilo83]

Ghana has found a huge oil deposit which will bring great wealth, don't let the big business men take all the wealth. Ghanians should vote to use some of the money for a welfare state.

[kecggule]

sad,very sad!

[monkey100777]

Nice vid,

i feel sorry for them too :[

[2fresh4dell]

This is the worst example of sensationalism! This piece is an insult to all poor people! To insinuate that her poverty has forced her into prostitution is an insult to all poor people who are struggling but doing the right thing... You should be ashamed of yourself!

[Tamsinne]

i dont see how this is an insult? this is showing how others need to help save other children from ending up with lives like ama's.

[smegaldy]

What the hell?

How is this insulting??

The whole idea is to make people want to help kids like her, so they don't have to be like Ama. Now see, were it me, I'd want people to see videos like this so people would feel the need to help out. You don't like it, go watch something else and don't bother wasting time on comments like that.

[pagashow1]

2fresh4dell is right, this is nothing but sensasionalism. You people in the West think that there is nothing to Africa other than this poverty shit. And you think you are doing anybody a favor by posting these videos but you're not. If you want to be useful then present a fair and balanced image because believe it or not, we do smile and have fun in Africa.

[Tamsinne]

Hi, i just want you to know, I made this video from a true story, I know you smile and have fun, all countries do, this vid is trying to tell people about some of the problems you have, which believe it or not, you do have some problems and we and many other countries are tying to help you with them. We all have problems, i could make a video about obesity in america if i wanted, that doesnt mean they dont smile and have fun.
