    Yes, you are right, but we cannot do anything about it. I have to test abroad women. Don't you agree with me?.

    I feel very sorry on your judgment, s
    ome of us are still faithful despite the temptations. We are not trading in our righteousness for lust. Faithfulness forever I shall be, Amen.

    I dont know about Europe but in the US it is estimated that 7 out of 10 divorces are initiated and caused by women so as to take the house from the man, throw him on child support and claim alimony.

    Its actually financiall ...

    It is unfortunate that most of the comments so far seem so shallow and lack of appreciation for the subject matter that is tearing so many people apart. This is an issue that has far reaching social impact in Ghana...its more ...

    KL, I have not read all the comments but reading the article, I asked myself if the examples (whether real or not) were the extremes. For example, in the fist example, I cannot understand why sympathetic Ghanaians bought a ti ...

    "In another development, Joshua, a mechanic in Accra travelled to the USA with her wife...He appealed to him to cover her wife with his papers which he readily did".

    Steve, is Joshua a man or a woman?

    Thanks

    Oh K Boateng, please forgive him, it's typing error

  • K. Boateng 9 years ago

    Ok Akos, I didn't say the writer did anything wrong; I just wanted to ascertain the gender of Joshua. You know, many things can happen in this day and age. There are some people who look and sound feminine but are males in na ...

    Mr PHD, urs dont mak no sense, u just don't get. Just go n teach. Leave us to read for we do understand his bad English.

  • S. ATTA OWUSU 9 years ago

    Boateng, that was an oversight and a simple error. I have a degree in ENGLISH so don't think I will refer to Joshua as a woman. It was an oversight. The content of the article is what you should talk about.

    Atta Owusu is certainly not Adolf Rockson. Atta doesn't write on political issues. Atta's articles are mostly about social and relationship issues in Ghana. He doesn't write articles every day like Adolf.

    A woman was in bed having sex with Gersis her husband's friend when the telephone rang.
    After hanging up, she says, ''That was Adolf, but don't worry -- he won't be home for a while. He's playing cards with you.''

  • KBK 9 years ago

    Maybe Adolf was playing cards alone in the bedroom with Gersis' wife...

    That should make Gersis's hard on droop like a wilting flower...

  • S. ATTA OWUSU 9 years ago

    Hey the man who calls himself A GERSIS, note this very well. I am not Rockson Adolf. Stop fooling and don't confuse readrs. Write to my emal and I will tell you who I am.

    Certainly, most people fall in love with one another and marry to enjoy life together. In the natural world, things (read future events) can fail to go according to plan, breeding misunderstanding or even mistrust. cheating i ...

    We are all guilty of cheating, both men and women. Marriage is based on trust and love, so why do we suddenly become enemies when we go abroad. HMMMMM

  • Stephen-Pipes Afrifa 9 years ago

    This is very disheartening and in the case of Joshua, it's much more disheartening. This is one of the issues that prevent some men into entering marriages.

    However, in another case. A man denied to be the father of his ...
