Hello youth of Ghana. You can take your own life with medicine ......... For instance 15 paracetamol at once. ....Or combine medicine and akpeteshie or weedicide.
Idiot, do same and die first to set good example
Exclusive Judgement.
Thank you judge. The judge was even lenient. Akosua Serwaa should have been dumped in the Alabama trashcan. How can you go AWOL and use a piece of paper as claim to marriage while another woman acts as wife?
The rest of fellow Ghanaians, take note. Do not marry/date people from these agyapadi3 minded tribes. They are bloodsuckers.
The Older Wife never sought anything but the recognition that the late Musician’s Family denied her. If the Abusuapanin were wiser, there would have been no need for all the drama, waste of money and time. If the Family had ...

This devil fake doctor should kill himself first. Stupid fake doctor promoting suicide among innocent youths
Basically The judgement is based upon the customary law in Ghana that more than one wife is not illegal
Please read the judgement well or get the full one. The legal reasoning is based on spousal abandonment.
The crazy idiot aka MUMBI SERAKI is still hanging onto his stupidity. How pathetic!!
The next time you bring this here you will feel the power of Nana Antoa Nyamaa over paracetamol! I dare. You.
Long live team Odo Broni. No hard feelings towards Akosua Serwaah but having the ugly motherfucker Papa Sheee and the petulant Akosua Brempomaa as your instigators have led to such a sad end.

Hmmmmmmm, Ghana for you where a valid certificate from advanced country can be considered invalid certificate.
Obviously, you did not read. She doesn't have a valid marriage certificate with DL. What she produced instead of a valid certificate was an extract from somewhere nobody knows.

That judge is not God. She may not have the last word. That's why they have appeals, and supreme courts.
Demand their share of properties before their husbands die?? Like seriously. I think unless the wife is certain the husband must die first, but may be only a witch
Maggots have taken over your brains. 15 years of sickness in Ghana while she is in Germany, you call that what?
Nonsense... Where is the best place to get treatment for serious illness, Ghana or Germany? Lumba left his German family for the wife to raise his children alone, so he can pursue another relationship in Ghana. Were you expec ...

Nonsense, you don't stand a chance when the judge is against you
When Ashantis become rich the only thing they think of his women. Very soon their women will no longer marry them. They deceive the women, impregnate them and run away to look for more women. Apuuu.
And how is that your worry? Leave that to the Ashantis themsleves to think about!
Now the two women should work together with the family to secure a befitting burial for the LEGEND.
Well a dangerous precedent is being set and we shall pay the price if this is not corrected.Any side chick with a greedy family member can claim all your resources from your legal spouse and deny your children and spouse thei ...

I doff my hat off 4 this judge.African men should learn frm this "stupid" civic marriages.it's not our culture.
thanks bro
The law is the law.
The law should be the law.
The law is the law and it is the law.
Justice is not a law just like an opinion.
In Ghana,you can have more than one wife.
Ladies,get that into your heards now.Tnx.
In Ghana you can only have one civil court married wife. If you don't like the potential outcome. Ignore the proof and make up shit to get a desired outcome.
This Judge deserves the next Chief Justice. I duff my hat to you. If Ghana had 100 of this Judge, the country will have been heaven.
This judge will make sure that all matches between Hearts and Kotoko will be draw games if he is a referee. Omp3 nu hu assem korakorakora.

How can you accuse Akosua Serwaa, who remained single of deserting her marriage, when it was Lumba who left their matrimonial home to start a new family with another woman.
IT IS A FAIR RULING. WHAT IT MEANS IS THAT IF YOU WANT TO BE CONSIDERED AS A SOLE WIFE/HUSBAND, YOU SHOULD PROVE THAT IN COURT BY TENDERING IN A MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE THAT IS GENUINE AND AUTHENTICATED.
The lying court had an obligation to INDEPENDLY verify the authenticity of the document. THAT IS WHAT REAL COURTS DO. They were not interested because that will invalidate their predicted outcome.
At their „ Standesamt“ or „Bürgerhaus „the family in Germany could go for a certified copy of the marriage proven certificate. The record of marriage is documented. In addition, possession of a „family book“ shou ...

The judge intentionally failed to recognise the civil union between Akosua Serwah and Lumba. Just to make a case of customary marriage between the two hence odo broni being recognised as a wife.
Case closed.
Let’s wait and see if Odo Broni and her relatives will be able to go to Kumasi for Lumba’s funeral. That will be a real test of her widowhood.
Fair ruling
I think Ghana is ready to legalize polygamy. The women and men are both ready for it. Good job to this judge.
