  Mr Latsey,It seem you have also miss Manasseh Awuni of his superb journalist work include various articles and investigation into SADA and Mahama Ford bribe saga and it looks like Mr Awuni has disappears into thin air without a trace.The obvious truth is that since Manasseh Awuni lunch his epic book and president John Dramani Mahama surprise him by purchase his book at the cost or price of GHC 13,000 was not a happy day for him as he understand the symbolic meaning of 13 which associates with disappearance and death and intimidation from his special forces with various types of huhudious guns.Mr Latsey do not be surprise because Mr Awuni is not writing article soon because his life is in danger and you are in his shoes to feel isolated and intimidation by President Buy book for GHC 13,000 to sent message to Mr Awuni.

  First, I think u got it wrong how they first met. What I read was that they met face to face before the realisation that Serwaa was a friend on his Facebook link. So it was just a coincidence.

  Secondly, from under which wood have you been hiding? Or is it a cave you've been dwelling in and so you are not aware that the Internet has become the biggest match-making medium ever? Social media is just a part of the Internet too. If you are not married, think about marrying a Russian beauty (they get fat very fast after a kid or two and become babuska)or a very marriage stuff Filippino dame.
  
  Here overseas, u can even take advantage of free sex sites, if you're the type.

  RE: CAN YOU MARRY SOMEONE YOU MEET ON SOCIAL MEDIA? - HONEYMOON MANASSEH AZURE MUST HEAR THIS!
  
  I have noted the comments/feedback of the above article.While I appreciate everyone of them, I would like to react to some of these comments:
  
  First, I have realised some of these comments claim difference in how I recounted the story of Manasseh and Serwaa's meeting and what Manasseh wrote himself. I wish to humbly state that given the below statements, the first from my article and the second from Manasseh's website, this cannot be the case.
  
  In paragraph 5 and 6 of my article I said this, and I quote, ........"You come into the picture because you made us understand how you met Serwaa. It all started with the 'I look you, you look me' thing you both did at a certain town in Western Region of Ghana, the next 30 minutes a message appeared on Facebook then the conversation started. Only God knows how you were going to be connected back if not for Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook when you both refused to exchange contact when you met face to face.You were candid when you mentioned the role Facebook, a social media platform, played in your connection with Serwaa."
  
  Manasseh had said this, "On February 14, 2015, I asked a pretty young woman out on a date. We had met in July 2014 in Essiama in the Western Region. I was on an assignment there and she was visiting her mother.
  We did not talk but I realised she was looking at me. She was a Facebook friend, but I didn’t know. About 30 minutes later, she sent me a message on Facebook asking whether I was the one she had seen. We got connected. Interacted briefly and that was it"........
  
  Second, the meeting of Manasseh and Serwaa was not an event particularly when they both did not say a word to each other when they saw themselves face to face.Needless to say, when couples are asked 'how they met?', it is more about the series of events than just one event.Let's look at these questions, HOW DID YOU MEET YOUR HUSBAND OR WIFE? and WHERE DID YOU MEET YOUR HUSBAND OR WIFE? Whereas the 'where' can be an event/place, the 'how' is often a series of events, thus, more detailed.
  
  Third, more importantly, the purpose was to appreciate the role Facebook, a social media, played in Manasseh and Serwaa's case and credit them for that as I contribute to the discussion on the utility of social media on our marriage institution in our dispensation.
