She went to sixth form in Accra Academy and for some reason, the year she went to sixth form was the year they had the biggest intake of girls, so they made a mistake by adding the girls to the boys for the school prefect election and all the boys shouted for the girl and she became the school prefect, that is how Barbara became a school prefect in Accra Academy\u201d, he narrated.<\/p>\n<p>He explained that the subject of women in governance must be treated with caution such that it yields the best results. He highlighted the woman\u2019s role in politics and governance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe women should not be too sensitive about the issue but let\u2019s create a platform where we can find a balanced way of solving the situation that seems to be eating into our community. Of course, many countries are doing better now, Rwanda is doing better, Uganda is doing better, you\u2019ll be surprised even Congo is doing better and I think Ghana should do better than South Africa so we can get our women participate fully. If the women get into politics, it makes politics decent\u2026men do things harshly, when women come in, they do things meticulously.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Tetteh expressed hope in the country being ruled by a female President in the future.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLets encourage our women so we can have a balanced society. I\u2019m believing God for us to have a President who is a female soon.<\/p>\n<p>The POWA Forum is essentially a platform designed to engage persons of diverse backgrounds in a series of conversations to facilitate the development of women.<\/p>\n<p>It is uniquely positioned to initiate women\u2019s interest conversations, as a means to generate national attention on gender topical issue discussions by engaging influential, inspirational, innovative and incisive thinkers from across genders, professions and careers.<\/p>\n<p>In the course of its dialogues, The POWA Forum will bring to light the diversity and value of women, as well as explore readily accessible and applicable solutions to the many social, political, cultural and economic struggles that confront women on daily basis.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tLCiE0DV6h4\" frameborder=\"0\" gesture=\"media\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 48 updated by: 38 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entertainment of Wednesday, 1 November 2017 Source: www.ghanaweb.com 2017-11-01 play videoDr. Lawrence Tetteh is founder of the Worldwide Miracle Outreach Even in a male dominated school at the time, my wife was outstanding, the point Dr. Lawrence Tetteh, founder of the Worldwide Miracle Outreach proudly made to the world, to prove the fact that women [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":432943,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-432942","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 -
