She said in an interview with SVTV that while she will not accept any sex offer in exchange for a job, she knows some ladies who did it and went home with pregnancy instead of the job.
“I haven’t experienced such offers before because there are no jobs here and in Accra, I don’t have a place to stay. I won’t accept such offers too but some even get pregnant for the men and don’t even get the job. It’s going on in Ghana. Ladies are suffering but people do not see it that way,” she revealed as quoted by Adomonline.com.
