Ken Ashigbey’s next fight as a greater-than-Galamsey threatens

Gambling is not a new phenomenon in Ghana: prostitution is older than it by only a few years. Both are evil. That is why most sane nations with responsible leadership stop at nothing to bring them under subjugation.

Without sounding preachy, I want to place on record that it is a lie that gamblers and prostitutes operate at their own personal (private) risk. There is evidence that gambling weakens the ethics of work by encouraging idleness and holding out the seductive lure of “something for nothing”.

African and Asian nations that encourage sex tourism (a euphemism for prostitution by wealthy American and West European ladies who fly to Asia and Africa in search of sex) spend the tourism dollar, thus earned, to import antiretrovirals.

Just in case you haven’t heard or read about it, there are villages in our dear country, Ghana, where farmers no longer find farming attractive and where children abandon school, preferring, rather to make money gambling.
