A father's role is crucial in shaping his children's lives. Key responsibilities include:

1. Providing love, support, and guidance.
2. Setting a good example and teaching values.
3. Ensuring their physical, emotional, and educational needs are met.
4. Being involved in their daily life, activities, and milestones.
5. Offering protection, stability, and security.

By fulfilling these responsibilities, fathers play a vital role in helping their children grow into confident, capable, and compassionate individuals.

I’d really like to hear your honest opinion.
Would you ever marry a man who has two children from two different women?
● With the first woman, he had a daughter out of wedlock and never even acknowledged her.
● He is currently married to the second woman, but he doesn’t support her, even though she is pregnant.
● He avoids paying child support to both women.

He says he was traumatized by the first woman because, according to him, she “tricked” him by claiming she was on the pill when she wasn’t.

What would you do in such a situation?

Thank you in advance for your advice!

Unfortunately Adelekes are returning to APC. It was Aregbesola that drove them out.

From my inbox:

I greet you, sir.

The actual situation is that President Tinubu has not accepted the defection of the Adelekes. The rumoured defection has no sanction of the President, ex-Governor Adegboyega Oyetola, Baba Bisi Akande, Otunba Iyiola Omisore and other stakeholders in Osun APC.

The condition given to Governor Adeleke in Bourdillion during Sallah was that he should reconcile with leadership of the APC in Osun and most importantly that the ticket was not Automatic.

Till date, Governor Adeleke has not met the condition. His media men and supporters are even cursing and abusing Tinubu for forcing and blackmailing the governor to join APC. They are not disclosing to Osun people that they are the ones begging the President to join APC.

Those lobbying for Governor Adeleke like Governor Dapo Abiodun are encouraging him to gate-crash and buy every structure over when he settles down in APC.

On their side, the Adelekes are reluctant to take such a gamble. They want to be sure of what is in the offing for them before they defect.

Everything is still at the standstill.

Ghana seeking partnership with Ukraine on drones, the same Ukraine that is supporting terrorism in the Sahel:

Ghana is set to deepen its bilateral cooperation with Ukraine, with a strong focus on acquiring Ukrainian drone technologies. This follows a July 11 conversation between Ghanaian President John Dramani Mahama and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who shared the news on X. President Zelenskyy said Ghana’s interest in Ukraine’s advanced drone production capabilities and battlefield experience was gained during the ongoing war with Russia. Ukraine has rapidly become a global leader in drone innovation, making it an attractive defense and technology partner.

For a young 23-year-old English footballer to be vilified, bullied, embarrassed, and totally stripped down at a time when you’re meant to be celebrating a transfer worth £55 million. Yes, a young kid with a dream about to secure a £55 million dream move to a club of his desire, leaving a rival at that, to be treated in this manner via a section of the Arsenal fan base is an utter disgrace. Just put yourself in his shoes for one minute, just put yourself in his parents shoes for one minute, and just think of how that feeling must be. I’ll say it again: at a time like this, as a player, as a human, and as a family, you should be celebrating. I just hope the people who are closest to him are around him and supporting him in the way that he needs right now.
It’s fine for fans to disagree with signings or decisions made at their football club, but the way some fans have publicly voiced their opinions and those who have gone a step further in publicly joining a petition for this player not to be signed by their football club is beyond me. I have never seen anything like this before, and I hope I don’t ever again. Like I said earlier, just imagine this was your best friend, one of your family members, your brother, son… then tell me, how would you feel if they were on the receiving end of this vulgar behaviour ???
By the way, this isn’t aimed at all Arsenal fans; it’s just a small section who have become very loud, unfortunately.
I just hope the transfer goes through and Noni Madueke
rams all of this negativity back down the throats of these impostors.
Whatever happens from here, good luck, Noni.

The Silent Cry: The Real Dangers of Abortion

Intro: A True-Like Story That Happens Every Day

Ama was only 19, in her second year at the university. Bright. Ambitious. Full of dreams.
But life doesn’t always go as planned.

She found out she was pregnant. The father? A guy who had already moved on. Family? She feared the shame. Friends? Most encouraged her to "just take it out and move on."

So one quiet afternoon, Ama walked into a backstreet clinic—no signboard, no license, just a promise of quick results. She came out with a heavy heart, bleeding… not just physically but emotionally and spiritually.

Days later, Ama collapsed in her hostel. The infection had spread. Her womb was damaged. Her dreams of ever carrying a child again? Gone.

This is not just Ama’s story. It is the story of thousands of young women across Ghana and Africa. Some survive. Some don’t. Most carry the scars forever.

What Is Abortion?

Abortion is the deliberate termination of a pregnancy before the baby can survive outside the womb.
While some abortions are carried out under strict medical guidance due to life-threatening complications, unsafe abortions—especially those done secretly, by untrained persons, or in unsanitary places—pose deadly risks.

Dangers of Abortion (Especially Unsafe or Repeated)

1. Physical Health Risks

Severe bleeding (hemorrhage): Can lead to death if untreated.

Infections: Unsanitary tools or poor hygiene can introduce bacteria that damage reproductive organs or cause sepsis (blood poisoning).

Womb perforation: Instruments can tear the uterus, leading to long-term complications or emergency surgery.

Infertility: Damage to the womb or fallopian tubes can result in permanent infertility.

Organ damage: Unsafe procedures can harm nearby organs like the bladder or intestines.

2. Mental and Emotional Trauma

Depression, guilt, and regret are common.

Post-Abortion Syndrome: A condition similar to PTSD, marked by anxiety, nightmares, emotional numbness, and self-blame.

3. Social and Spiritual Consequences

Emotional distance from partners or family.

Isolation due to fear or stigma.

Spiritual guilt or disconnection for those with strong religious values.

Common Myths That Push Women Toward Abortion

“It’s just a small problem, take it out.”
→ No. Pregnancy involves two lives: the mother and the child.

“Abortion is safer than giving birth.”
→ Only when done legally and under medical care. Unsafe abortions kill more women than childbirth in many places.

“You can’t get pregnant again after just one abortion.”
→ Many women have faced infertility after a single poorly done abortion.

What Should You Do Instead?

Talk to a health professional: Seek counseling and support services.

Look into adoption: Many families are looking to adopt children.

Educate yourself: Know your body, understand protection, and make informed decisions.

Join support groups: You're not alone. There are safe spaces to help you make the best decision.

The Way Forward for Ghana and Africa

We need more education—not judgment.
We need safe spaces, not silence.
We need men to take responsibility, not escape it.
We need communities to empower, not shame.
Let’s protect our women, our daughters, and our sisters from the trap of unsafe abortions.

The Marriage Advice .

1. **Choose Love, Always:** Even in moments when you find it hard to like each other, choose to love. Love is a commitment, not just a feeling.

2. **Be Present:** Always answer the phone when your spouse calls. When you're together, try to keep your phone off, giving each other your full attention.

3. **Prioritize Time Together:** Make time with your spouse a top priority. Budget for regular date nights because time is the currency of relationships, and investing in your marriage is key.

4. **Surround Yourself with Support:** Keep company with friends who strengthen your marriage. Distance yourself from those who might tempt you to compromise your character.

5. **Laugh Together:** Make laughter the soundtrack of your marriage. Share joyful moments, and even in tough times, find reasons to laugh together.

6. **Team Up in Arguments:** In every disagreement, remember that you’re on the same team. There’s no winner or loser; you either win together or lose together. Work as partners to find solutions.

7. **Be Each Other’s Strength:** A strong marriage isn’t about both being strong at the same time. It’s about taking turns being strong for each other when one of you feels weak.

8. **Value Intimacy:** Prioritize what happens in the bedroom. While a strong marriage takes more than s=x, it’s nearly impossible to build a strong marriage without it.

9. **Give 100%, Not 50/50:** Marriage isn’t about splitting everything down the middle. Divorce is 50/50; marriage is 100/100, with both partners giving their all.

10. **Give Your Best:** Offer your best self to each other, not just the leftovers after you’ve given your best to everyone else.

11. **Embrace Uniqueness:** Learn from others, but resist comparing your marriage to anyone else’s. Your life is uniquely yours.

12. **Don’t Put Marriage on Hold:** Don’t neglect your marriage while raising your kids, or you might end up with an empty nest and an empty marriage.

13. **Be Transparent:** Never keep secrets from each other. Secrecy is the enemy of intimacy.

14. **Build Trust:** Never lie to each other. Trust is the foundation of a strong marriage, and lies will break it.

15. **Admit Mistakes:** When you’ve made a mistake, admit it and seek forgiveness humbly. Be quick to say, “I was wrong. I’m sorry. Please forgive me.”

16. **Forgive Quickly:** When trust is broken, be quick to forgive. This promotes healing and opens the door for trust to be rebuilt. Say, “I love you. I forgive you. Let’s move forward.”

17. **Practice Patience:** Your spouse is more important than your schedule. Be patient with each other.

18. **Model Love for Your Children:** Live the kind of marriage that inspires your sons to be good husbands and your daughters to be good wives.

19. **Protect Your Spouse:** Never speak badly about your spouse to others or vent about them online. Always protect them, in all places and at all times.

20. **Wear Your Ring:** Your wedding ring is a constant reminder that you’re connected to your spouse and that you’re off-limits to the rest of the world.

21. **Connect to Faith:** Being part of a faith community can make a world of difference in your marriage and family.

22. **Pray Together:** A marriage is stronger with God at its center. Pray together regularly.

23. **Choose Kindness:** If you have to choose between saying nothing or saying something mean to your spouse, choose to say nothing every time.

24. **Stay Committed:** Never consider annulment as an option. A perfect marriage is just two imperfect people who refuse to give up on each other.

Let’s be real — not everyone around you is a friend.

Not everyone on your Facebook list cares. Some are just silently watching, waiting for you to fail or mess up.

They won’t support you, but they’re the first to notice when something goes wrong. Some pretend to be friends, but deep down, they’re just jealous.

And yes, they exist. But still — be kind.

Kindness isn’t weakness. It’s peace. Let them watch while you keep growing, glowing, and winning quietly.
