Don’t go there and lose your soul

Dear Obaa Yaa,

I am convinced that you can explain why I am always losing the jobs that I get.

I am a contractor who supplies any item you can think of. Things used to be rosy until recently.

Every customer who orders goods from me always return to cancel the order.

This happened to me ten consecutive times.

A friend of mine suggested that we should ‘pass somewhere’ because she was sure that some forces were working against me.

Obaa Yaa, if it is not witchcraft, what else could it be?

Dear Sammy,

HAVE you cared to find out why people are cancelling their orders?

Maybe someone is saying bad things about you to your customers to ‘spoil’ your business.

It might also be that, you do not deal honestly with your clients.

So get to know what the real cause is. I do not object to the fact that witches can cause havoc.

However, many things we attribute to witches are caused by our own selves. So investigate to find out why your business is taking a nosedive.

In any case, ‘passing somewhere’ can land you in trouble. You can be deceived and defrauded. You might also lose your soul to the devil.

So think twice.

She says the girl is not my child

Dear Obaa Yaa,

My name is Amos, I am not married but have one child who I cater for. Just recently when I sent my child weekly money for her upkeep, her mother asked me not to bother.

She said that the child was not mine and that she was prepared to pay for everything I have spent on them.

Obaa Yaa, life around me now is hell. I can’t come to terms with what she is telling me after taking care of my child for six years.

Obaa Yaa, what can make a woman behave like this? What should do?

Amos,

Kwahu.

Dear Amos,

I am really sorry for you. However, it is good that this woman is saying something you have not investigated and know for certainty if the child is yours or not. That will keep your mind at rest.

Take a lawyer and send the matter to court. The court will most certainly order a paternity test where you can know your stand as to the parentage of this girl.

If she is yours, you can take legal steps to claim her from the dishonest mother. If it is proved that she is not your child, then you can make your lawyer prepare a bill for the woman to reimburse you for all you have spent on the child.

I am barren, my husband has impregnated girl, 18

Dear Obaa Yaa,

I am 40 years old married for 10 years. I have been to so many hospitals in the country, herbalists and even to spiritualists for a help in child bearing, but to no avail.

My problem now is that, I have just been hinted that my husband has impregnated an 18- year old girl.

He does everything for her. Even though he has not neglected me, I am very hurt, and what can I do?

Akua,

Koforidua.

Dear Akua,

IT is always good for everybody to investigate what he or she hears before whole-heartedly accepting it as a gospel truth.

Most rumours are peddled about people but they turn out to be false.

Anyhow, let your husband know, what you have heard and let him react to it. You may found out that it is a different story altogether.

However, if it turns out to be true, then it means your husband has not lived up to his marriage vows, and depending on what your religious principles and emotions are, you might advise yourself.

Another option is to stick to your husband and continue seeking a child of your own.

Don’t get stressed out though, take it cool and seek diligently for yours. One day, you will have the last laugh.
