My boss wants me to cook for him
Dear Obaa Yaa,
I am 23 years old and work as a secretary with a private company in Kumasi. My boss is a friend of my uncle, so it was relatively easy for me to get the job. But now I think my boss is taking advantage of that relationship. He gives me odd jobs to do. He even brings some clothing from home for me to wash.
Recently, he gave me money to cook and bring it to him in the office. I think this is not part of my official duties as a secretary.
Obaa Yaa, I love my job but I do not like this kind of unofficial wife relation my boss is trying to have with me. Show me how to go about this tactfully.
Sherita, Kumasi.
Dear Sherita,
I guess the safest thing is to find another job. The man is taking advantage of his friendship with your uncle to make you a maid instead of a secretary.
You can do things for him once in a while and make excuses for others but make sure you look for another job.

Pastors take too much money from members
Dear Obaa Yaa,
A FRIEND invited me to his church a few weeks ago and I was embarrassed at the way the priest demanded money from the congregation.
Will God bless such offerings extracted from church goers?

Dear Etornam,
It is true that some churches demand money from their congregation. But it is also a fact that some of these churches uses these funds to build proper places of worship.
Utilities like water and electricity bills plus certain allowances or salaries of full –time workers in the church are also settled with this money.
Indeed if these money is put to proper use, it will enhance God’s work, and contributors would be blessed.
But if the money is misused, the people may think they are deceiving the congregation, but they cannot deceive God.

I can’t make a choice
Dear Obaa Yaa,
I am a 40-year old banker and doing so well financially. I have a side business and I own two houses at Adenta. I have two girls in my life and I value each one for who they are. I want to settle down this year but I’m finding it difficult to make a choice.
One is financially stable, hardworking but disrespectful. The other is jobless, obedient and dull.
I love both of them and I am finding it difficult to choose. Should I marry one and keep one as a friend or I should leave them all.
They are all very beautiful. I am confused.
Kwansima,

Dear
I don’t believe that you are serious about marriage. I strongly believe you don’t love both of them, because you will never have a second thought when you love someone.
Also, I don’t believe that the girls are as daft as you want to portray.
For instance, what makes you think they are yours to pick and choose what roles they should play?
You are old enough to know what you want and what will be best for you. In as much as the ladies are pretty, each of them have different qualities you also want.
If I were you, I would propose and find out which of the girls would have you.
